meet in conference at Tacoma next .Mon
day. . l -
There are rumors of every sort afloat,
yet the magnates discredit all of them
and simply ask the publlo to wait till
after the meeting, when the facts will be
made known. This meeting has been
called for something of great importance
and it ln all probability will determine
whether or not any of the clubs of the
league are to be dropped.
It Is an admitted fact that the clubs in
the Northwest, are making money and
that is why they are being kept up there.
The. Portland team lias suffered from
hard luck all along and the -rumors afioat
are to the effect that it will unquestiona
bly be dropped from the league. It Is
also asserted that San Francisco and Los
Angeles will. go.
. President Harrjr Hart of the San Fran
cisco club vigorously denies this and
says the teams will remain In the league
and will- finish the. season as originally
planned. He admits there are some im
portant matters to be decided at the
meeting, but adds there is no truth In the
report that his team and the Los Angeles
aggregation will be ousted.

There will be seven events, as foljows:
Four-oared barge races for oarsmen of
senior, intermediate and junior standing;
outrigged skiff races for senior and junior
scullers, and shell races for senior and
juniors. The order in which the races
will take place, when once settled, will
not be changed. The captain of each club
will be notified of the time of starting and
any contestant who is not ready within
two minutes of the* specified time will
be disqualified. The distance for all the
races is one and a half miles with a turn.
The only event in which entries seem
likely to be scarce is the intermediate
barge race. The junior barge race last
year was won by a South End Rowing
Club crew, mad« up of F. Pallas, S. Ber
ger, M. Harris and E. Pallas. This crew
is now of intermediate standing. The
Olympic Club also has a crew which is
of the Intermediate class, but this, crew
will enter in the senior barge race. The
South End Rowing Club has senior and
Junior barge crews in training. The Ala
meda Boat Club has crews of all three
classes and will enter men ln every event
of the regatta. John Lewis, will pull in
the senior single shell race, and. his
brother James in the junior shell event.
Edwin .Thornlng will represent the Ala
meda Boat Club In the junior outrigged
skiff race and Fred Ayrca in the senior
class.

Coursing men here noticed an error in
"guarding" at the Butte meeting which
should not have been made by the of
ficials. The first two dogs in the stake
belonged to the same owner. Instead of
"guarding" No. 1 with No. 3 It was
"guarded" with No. 4 and No. 2 ran with
No. 3. To add to the error the winner of
the second course was placed- above the
winner of the first course. This, put -him
out. of place throughout the day's run

of the entries. They are near the age
limit of eighteen months. Tim Cronin j
starts a promising one in Gunfire, by

make their first appearance on the field.
The gates of Union Coursing Park will
again be thrown open to the followers of
the greyhounds on Sunday. July 12. With
the picnic season on the wane, the rail

resulted in closing the park.
The committee of the American Cours

cup meeting has postponed for one month
the time at which bids will be opened. It
was deemed advisable to extend the limit,
as new clubs are being formed which may.
bid for the meetings. The committee has

"Rendie merit medal." to every member
of a club In the California Cricket As
sociation who makes a ccnturv or per
forms the bat trick in any 'first-class
match during the . season of 1903. The

medal becomes a life member of the
Graco Society of Cricketers, named in

when the weather is light and
conditions' are favorab-e. take
a turn at the wheel or tiller. The San
Francisco Yacht Club, for several years
past has endeavored to make its quarters
at Sausalito attractive to ladles, and on
fine Sundays they are to be seen in con
siderable ' numbers on the verandas. At
all club events that are not strictly stag
the wives, sisters, sweethearts and friends
of the San Francisco yachtsmen are much
in evidence. Though the rough winds
usually prevalent in the summer are not
favorable to ornate dressing, the fair
mariners contrive to combine utility with
prettiness in their costumes. They thor
oughly enjoy the brisk breezes and the
flying sprav. .
Corinthian yachtsmen and their friends
will gather in force at the club-house at
Tlburon to-mor»ow, the attraction being
a grand aquatic carnival. The water
sports will be under the management of a
committee made up of Dr. E. N. Short,
Lester J. Hammersmith. Stanley J. Fay
and N. A. Hewson. An exhibition of
fancy diving and swimming will be given
by members of the Olympic Club under
the leadership of Sydney Cavlll. An at
tempt will be made to bring off a 100-yard
swimming match between E. Howard and
ex-Commodore T. F. Tracy. Rowing and
sailing races for small craft will be ar
ranged by the regatta committee.
The judges will be ex-Commodore H. D.
Hawks, Able Seaman Douglas Erskine
and W. . F. DIxey. Basso Frank W.
Thompson will perform the duties of an
nouncer and the starters will be Vice
Commodore T. F. Jennings. Robert Dean

In order to add to the general gayety
vacht owners are reouested to decorate
their craft with all the prize and signal

highly attractive and successful.
