THE NEW CORINTHIAN BOAT WILL BE LAUNCHED IN A FORTNIGHT. OPENING OF THE BRIDGE. NEXT SUNDAY THE FLEET VESSELS ‘WiLL LEAVE THEIR WINTER QUARTERS. The members of the Corinthian Yacht Club were out in force yesterday at the Tiburon clubhouse preparing their yachts for the opening of the bridge next Sunday, when they will take the boats into deep water again. Frank Stone is building a fine yacht for George V. Biber, who lately owned the Mist. The crait, which is of modern style, has the much-affected overhang, but is thoroughly a ‘“‘Stone” boat, and is un- questionably the finest craft ever turned out by that builder. Her measurements are: Overall, 33 feet 6 inches: water-line, 24 feet 10 inches; extreme beam, 11 feet 10 inches; beam at water-line, 10 feet 8 inches; draft, 3 feet 10 inches; draft with board THE YAWL-YACHT FROLIC CATCHING THE FIRST OF YESTERDAY'S SOUTHEASTER.

RACING OVER THE GREEN. COURSING AT OCEAN VIEW PARK THAT ATTRACTED MANY SPECTATORS. A ScorcH Do DEFEATED His IRIsH COMPETITORS IN THE FINAL. Although the rain came down rather heavily yesterday afternoon, it did not diminish in the least the ardorof the 500 spectators who witnessed the coursing meeting at Ocean View Park. There were many upsets during the day, but the long- tails that took headers were not in any | way injured. S f T. Hall of Merced, the most enthusiastic greyhound man in the State, owns the conqueror of the twelve ‘‘cracks” that flew so lightly over the green yesterday, and her trinmph was clear cut, lqr never for a moment did she leave anything in doubt, each of her opponents in turn going down before her with a crash—Captain Morse, Valley Queen, Skyball_and, in the final, that sterling good one Nelly Conroy. The latter gitch, too, was in fine form, beating each of her anfagonists well. The hares ran strong all through, not a single bad one being met durine the day.

A temple to spiritnalism will be ‘erected in San Francisco in the near future, and they who claim to have passed beyond the boundaries of occultisiz into the reflected light of immortality by the aid of spirit mediums hope to spread that light faster than ever before. Modern spiritualists are hopeful for great and rapid progress in the future. They | sert that their science or reiigion or faith will advance to an extent that will | make it felt the world over. Mrs. May Drynan, recently of Chicago, but at pres- ent a resident in this city, is one of the most earnest and enthusiastic workers in She believes thai modern spir- | itualism has a great work to do and wiil do The recent nrgnnization and incorpora- tion of the People’s Spiritnalist Society in | this city was an important step in the | direction indicated, according to the ex- | pressions made by leading spiritualists. The articles of incorporation were filed on | February 4 last with a membership of | fifty, and the number is -steadily growing. | Mrs. May Drynan is president of the so- | cietysand Mrs. Harriet Wren, late of New | York,is vice-president. In an interview | concerning the society and its work, last night, Mrs. Drynan sai i As a society we are still young, just | creeping along preparatory to walking up- right among the scientific and religious organizations of the world. There is much to be done. and, as yet, we have very little to do it with. But we see light ahead and hope to attain some of our desires, if not ! all of them. It is the purpose of the so-| ciety to build a temple in this city so that modern spiritualism shall have a per- manent home and a point of vantage from which to work. Without a center there can be no circumference, you know. - “There is another institution which we | are just as anxious to establish as the tem- ple, and that is a home for mediums,where they can go and remain in peace and giet- ness so long as they desire. Those that are able to payand feel disposed to pay can do so, while such medjums as are poor and in need will be aided as much as lies | in our power. Of course, it will require a #ood deal of money to do all this, but we hope to get it in good time. “*Now that we_ are incorporated we are entitled to receive gifts of money and property and_bequests by will the same as | any other religious, scientific or charitable organization. Many wealthy persons who haye passed out as firm believers in modern spiritualism would have left liberal be- quests toward the endowment of just such institutions as we propose to establish had there been any legally organized body of spiritualists to be specified as the legatees. | It is impossible to tell at present how soon we shall be able to begin work on the tem- | {xl e and the home for mediums, but it will | be ingugurated just so soon as the society is financially in a condition to do so.” E_ruposed 1 The society will hold its first public | tail meeting on the evening of the 31st inst. at 111 Larkin street. Itwill be conducted in the same manner as regulnr church meetings and admission will be free, but a | collection will be taken up at the close of | the proceedings. Among the speakers will | be Mrs. Drynan, Mrs. Harriet Wren, Pro- fessor R. B. Dodd, the hypnotist, and several mediums. < The mysterious buried wall in Evergreen Township, Sailac County, Mich., is still attracting a great deal of attention.

The ribs are also of oak, 2{ square in the head and 214 by 2% in the foot. These are spaced 12 inchesfrom the center. The planking is of 134-inch cedar, well plugged. The deck also of cedar, 1} by 13 inch stock. They are swept around the cabin, which gives her a very pretty dec! ps Among the unsightly things that pre- sent themselves to view about Jocal yachts are the chain plates, which have always been fastened on the outside. But on the new craft they are fastened on the inside of the planking and come up through the deck. The sides of the house are 18 Inchesy high, with a big crown to the roof, giving 5 feet 7 inches head room. On the port side forward is the lavatory, while on the starboard side forward is the alley. This leaves a 12-foot 6-inch cabin. he centerboard trunk stands thirty inches high, so that when the table leaves, which are hinged to it, are set up it will make one table. The forward part of the trunk is cut away so one can pass from one side to the other. The interior will be finished in birdseye maple, mahogany and gene- zera. The cockpit is 6 feet long and § feet wide at the house, and hold$eight persons with comfort. It is watertight and self- st | bailing. The finish is quartered oak and ash. .

She will havea jib topsail that has a hoist of 38 feet. The Jib and mainsail will contain 800 square feet of canvas. For racing purposes she will be supplied with spinnaker, gaff topsail, balloon jib and watersail. ‘When the last stick is knocked out from | under her and she glides into the water she will be christened the Mignon.

She has been thoroughly over- hauled and repainted and all sails bent on, and now rides lazily at anchor in the lagoon, wnitini for next Sunday, when the bridge will be opened and she will sail through into active commission. Another new craft in the fleet is the Neriad, which has been turned into a yawi for Will Fisher. Fred Kelly’s yawl Naiad and Commodore Pew’s Truant are on the ways, being put in shape for the coming season. The new 20-foot boat lately launched by Stone has been named the Flirt and by the end of the week will be in shape to get under way. The sloop Pinta has been so changed that to-day one would be unable to recog- nize her. Three feet have been added to her stern, givinfi her a more rakish appear- ance, The rig has been changed to a yawl, making a decidedly better looking craft.

OF INTEREST TO WHEELMEN, The California Cycling Club’s Road ¢ Race. The California Cycling Club held its sec- ond ten-mile try-out yesterday over the San Leandro triangle. There were twenty- four entrants, who started, each one min- ute apart, after 10:30 A. M., when the first man got away. J. W. Harvey made the best time, cover- ing the distance in 29 minutes 30 seconds. Harvey also won time prize in the Tace | held by the club a week ago. | All of the starters in the California’s race yesterday covered the entire distance, which is something unusual. There were twlo slight accidents, with no serious re- sults. £ Next Sunday the club will have another race over the same course, after which the relay team for the great 100-mile race on April 7 will be definitely decided upon. Six of them have already been selected. The Bay City Wheelmen have decided to hold a tiy miie handicap road race next Sunday from Fruitvale to Haywards., The handicapping will be done by'S. Plummer. Entries close with Captain Dodge on March 23. A rumor was current among the local wheelmen yesterday that created great in- terest. It was to the effect that F. M. Byrne and Otto Ziegler Jr. would ride in the Acme Club’s relay team, as they are both honorary members of that club, while their own organizations—the Imperials and the San Jose Road Club—will not en- ter teams. With such outside assistance the Acme team should be almost invincible. | Charles S. Wells, the popular racer, is seriously ill at his father's home in Dub- lin, Alameda County. ; Harry Monahan is making up a large party to_ride to San Jose next Baturday to attend the Garden City Cyclers’ smoker. All the prizes promised for the recent Pavilion tournament have not been turned over to the successful contestants, and the riders are much incensed at the way the management has treated them. s A Terrill is a sufferer and so are Foster and Osen. Handicapper Smith has not been paid for his services either. The wheel- men will take some action in the matter at once. JONES i@fmam ACCIDENT TO THE AUSTRALIAN | HANDBALL CHAMPION WHILE PLAYING. NeaLoN AND BONNET DEFEAT CHAMPIONS RIORDAN AND DONNELLY. Champion Jones of Australia had l:is‘ neck twisted at the San Francisco court | yesterday afternoon, and it will be some | days before be thoroughly recovers from the shock. He was playing a match against | J. Harlow and R. Lineban, and in the final game Harlow bhad returned the ball and Jones rushed forward to hit it. Just then Harlow’s right hand, which was extended, came in contact with the side of Jones' | head with such force as to twist his neck. The champion dropped to the floor, and for several minutes was unable to stand on | his feet. He pluckily finished the game | and won the match. There was a surprise in store for Rior- dan, the coast champion, and Donnelly, the amateur champion, at the Occidental | court. They had defeated Jj. C. Nealon | and T. F.

HEAVY SCORES MADE BY THE MEN WHO HANDLE RIFLES. THE LADIES SHOOT WELL. SHELL MOUND AND SaAN RAFAEL EcHo WITH THE SOUND OF SHOTS. There was more than the usual excite- ment at the San Rafael rifle butts yester- day, and the ladies’ shooting match added to the private match between Stecker and Garmes were the prime causes. Both matches promised well and despite the weather the attendance was good. In all there were six shooting matches. First there was the San Francisco Turner Schuetzen Club. Their score was as fol- lows: Champion class—G. Helm 430. First class—(Necessary 375) not won. Best score made by F. Hausman. 374. Second elass—F. Amack 369. Third class—Not won. First best shot was made by F. Hansman with & score of 22. The last best shot was made by P. Baumeister with a score of 25. Meanwhile the ladies at the refiular_ 200- yard range were, with a rest, steadily firing at the targets. Most of the ladies were dressed with all the dainty attention to the calls of fashion that style demands, andjit sometimes was amusing to see a big shoulder sleeve hide the sight of the gun while the owner laid a soft warm cheek against the cold butt of a rifle and subse- quently screamed because there was a re- port after she pulled the trigger. 5 Although echo followed echo the ladies held their own and as a result showed the following score: In the championship class Miss Lizzie Utschig won_ by a score of 113; in the first class Mrs. A. M. Turner won by a score of 113; and in the second class Mrs. J. H. Fisher won with & score of 91. Company D of the Third Regiment, N. G. C., Second Brigade, had a match that showed strong work. The score shows the strength of the teams: Private J. Dawson 48, Private F. J. 47, Private Matt Riley 46, Private T. S. Archer 43, Lieutenant J. P. Davenport 43, Private J. F. Robinson 45, Corporal Paul Trenton 41, Lieutenant A. N. Bayen 44, Private I.J. Jones 42, Private Schloeser 38. The California Schuetzen Cadets had two shoots. One was for a medal and the other a bullseye match. The score was: For the first-class medal, F. Richl, 414: second class, A. Fetz, 307 ; first best shot, F. Riehl, 22; last best shot, F. Riehl, 2: In the bullse hoot F. Rump was first with 25, R. Rie! ond with 24, A. Reubold was third with 23, and H. Kuhls fourth with 22, out of a possible 25. The California Schuetzen Club had a 20- shot match at the regular range, 200 yards, 6-inch bullseyes, with the following win- ners: A. Rahwyler, first prize; B. W. McLeughlin, second; G. Fetz, thir C. Babin, fourth; Moulton Hon. George H. Bah F. Hausman, sixth; D. B. Faktor, nth;’ Otto Braemer, eighth; A. Strecker, ninth; A. Utschig, tenth George Hewin, eleventh; J. C.

Ehren feath, ott, A, Sagehorn, 25. The Grutli Club, shooting for bullseyes only, worked hard, and as a result showed the following score: First, Charles Ott; second, F. Appenzeller; third, A. Rahwyler; fourth, F. Baumgartner; fifth, J. Fitz; sixth, Edward Kunz. The battle between Ado]lph Strecker and ‘William Garmes was the long fight of the day, and the one that kept the enthusiasts watching the targets. With one shot fired by mistake into the ground Strecker made an average of over twenty-two. Garmes, against whom he was shooting, failed to meet the demands of the mntcfi, because he failed to make a standing fight. The shoot was 100 shots, $10 a side, 2500 possible, 200 yards range, and the score at the finish stood: Strecker 2196, Garmes 1734. The handicap given by Strecker to Garmes was 300 rings, and even with these odds Strecker won easily. AT SEELL MOUND. Nine Cons ecutive Bullseves Made by Marks- man H. Heeth. The members of the National Guard who shot over at the Shell Mound ranges yes- terday did not distinguish themselves by remarkable marksmanship, though the percentage was good in view of the condi- tion of the weather. C and B of the First Regiment were indulging in prac- tice for the shoot that is to take place on the 7th of next month for the Tobin tro- phy. Excellent scores were made by Company C, but Company B are withhold- ing their marksmanship until the event- ful day. The naval reserve, Company C, made a good showing for mariners.

NEW GANE AND FISH LAVS, SUPERVISORS CAN NOW APPOINT DEPUTIES TO HUNT DOWN POACHERS. A MEeasuRe WHICH WILL BE WELCOMED BY ALL TRUE SPORTSMEN. The president of the State Sportsmen’s Associgtion telegraphed a friend from Sac- ramento on Saturday that the revised game bill had passed both houses, and all that is now required to make it alaw is the Governor's signature, which will as- suredly follow. As already stated in the Cary the old game bill was dissected Jast year at a con- vention of sportsmen assembled in this city, and alterations were made with but one object in view, and that was for the protection of game and fish in the interest of the sportsmen and anglers at large. The new bill is unquestionably a good one, and its value to the State will quickly be proven if those in power will but assist the law-abiding sportsmen to put a stop to the claughter of game and fish during the closed seasons for shooting and fishing. The CaLL was the first paper to suggest an appointment of game wardens for each county, as the patrol of the Fish and Game Comission is totally inadequate to meet all requirements. The convention took ulp the suggestion and u})provcd of it by add- ing that all fines resulting from the arrests of law-breakers should go into the treasury of the county in which the arrests were made. The bill creating the office of Count; Game Warden was introduced last week and passed by both houses without meet- ing the slightest objection. It will un- doubtedly meet the approval of the Gover- nor and then the Supervisors of the several counties may go about selecting the best material from among the men who will not shirk their duty. " The Supervisors are em- powered to name the salary of the game warden they may appoint, but it must not exceed $100 per month. The old clause of the county Govern- ment bill which allowed the Supervisoss of the counsy to nullify the game laws of the State and make the open season for the killing of game to suit the convenience of those who were in the political swim, has very wisely been repealed, and in its stead a sensible clause adopted. The new clause gives the boards the power, when in their judgment ‘the existing condition of the country demands it, to shorten the open season to such time as they wish, so as to prevent the sale of game or its shipment out of the county, or its killing beyond a certain number. ~But whatever changes in dates that are made must be within the dates set by the State law. Section 627 was the only one which met with any opposition, but when the legis- lators learned that the object of the sec- tion was to give the poor class of sports- men an opportunity of shooting ducks upon land that was unclaimed, they uickly acquiesced to the wishes of the %ommlttee on on Fish and Game and their many friends. The section reads: Every person who, upon any inclosed or cul- tivated grounds which are private property, and where signs are displayed forbidding such shooting, except salt water marsh land, shall shootany quail, bob-white, pheasant, partridge, grouse, dove, deer or wild duck,without permis- sion first obtained from the owner or person in Ppossession of such grounds, or who shall mali- ciously tear down, mutilate or destroy any sign, signboard or other notice forbiddin shooting on private property, shall be guilty of & misdemeanor. It wiil be seen by this provision that sportsmen can enjoy a favorite pastime on any salt marsh, although the same may be posted with signs forbidding trespassing. The gathering or destroying of the eggs of quaii pheasant, grouse, dove or robin or any kind of wild duck is a misdemeanor. The closed season for the killing of doves is from February 15 to Julr 1L & The following section will prove interest- ing to deer-hunters. It reads: Every person in the State who shall hunt, kill or destroy any male deer between the 15th day of October and the 15th day of July of the following _vear shall be guiity of & misde- meanor. Female deer and spotted fawns must not be kilied at any time. Another section wkich will cut off the market hunters reads: Every person in this State who shall at any time b\?, sell or offer for sale, the hide or meat of any deer, elk, antelope or mountain sheep, whether taken or killed in the State of Califor- nia or shipped into the State from any other State or Territory, shall be gullty of & misde- meanor, provided that nothing in_ this section shall be held to n&g]v to the hide of any of said animals taken or killed in Alaska or any for- eign country. The market hunter receives another right-hand jawbreaker in the following: The use of shotguns of larger caliber than No. 10 gauge is unlawful and the proof of the possession of such guns in the field, or marsh, ay, lake or stream, shall be prima facie evi- dence of their illegal use. Anglers will be interested in the follow- ing changes made for the protection of ame and fish. Any person having striped ss of less than three pounds in weight can be punished. Black bass is protected between January 1 and July 1. Trout of any kind must not be taken between the first day of November and the first day in April, excepting steelhead trout taken with rod and line at any time in tide water. Trout under six inches in length must not sold. Another section which is im- portant reads: Every person who by seine or other means shall catch the young fish of any species and ‘who shall not return the same to the water immediately and alive, or who shall sell or offer for ufo any such fish, fresh or dried, is guilty of a misdemeanor. FASTEST TRACK IN THE WORLD. ALAMEDA'S NEW STRAIGHTAWAY RACE COURSE SAID TO HAVE No EQUAL. IT IS NOW READY FOR USE. Wi BE A REGULAR MEcCA FOR OWNERS AND LOVERS OF FasT HoRsESs. There would have been some good sport in Alameda yesterday alternoon had it not been for the drizzling rain, which began to fall about noon and continued throughout the day. Three well-known San Francisco horsemen were billed to try the bottom and surface of the newly built Alameda straight-away speed track. The gentlemen and horses in question were A. Ottinger with Allie Dick, Mabry McMann with Mabry, and I. L. Borden with Allie Cresco. But the rain spoiled it all and the test runs were postponed until the weather clears up. The people of Alameda know how to keep the wheels of progress going around in the right direction. They are not satis- fied with having the best and cleanesi streets on the Pacific coast. They want the best boulevards and speed tracks, too, and when they make up their minds that such and such a thing would add to the attrac- tiveness of the Encinal City they just go ahead and get it. The new racetrack is a splendid acquisi- tion, and Sanford Bennett deserves a mon- ument for having successfully engineered the scheme. That is the sentiment preva- lent among the devotees of the sport of kings. The track is one and a quarter miles long, giving one-eighth of a mile at each end for starting and finishing. It begins at Prospect street and runs westerly to Grand street, and is perfectly level witl the exception of eighteen inches decline on the half mile toward the homestretch. Mr. Bennétt and other lovers of horse speeding have asserted that this is the fastest trac! in the world. It is 100 feet wide and is constructed of slickens, clay and adobe, ona sound and springy bottom. It was finished, ready for use, only a few days ago, and has been repeatedly rolled with an eight-ton roller. The principal men at the head of the concern are Sauford Bennet, John Lutgen, William Leydecker and O. A. Zingg. &.VIr. Bennett secured the land by deed for five years from the Alameda Board of Trustees for the purpose of constructing a boulevard and speed track. It is believed that when the five years have expired the city will make the grant perpetunal. The expenses of building the track were defrayed by pri- vate contributions, and the cost of it at the 9ru>ent time is $623. It was built by 0. A. Zingg. The work of putting up necessary build- ings and other needed conveniences will be commenced this week. Two large trading- stables will be built at the Grand-street end. Distance poles and signals will be put in place and electr ire connection made with start and finish. The track is almost straight, having a slight curve that is barely perceptible when one views it from one end to the other. Scores of srominent horsemen, owners and drivers, have already signified their desire to have place on the track for racin®@and training. They will be charzed a small fee per month for using the track. The Board of Trustees of Alameda has appropriated $30 & month for the maintenance of the tras Q. A. Zingg has been appointed a police- man and placed in charge. Sanford Ben- nett is the warden. aving Set to Music. The latest thing in barber shops is a musical box which the boss of the estab- lishment regulates to suit the times. On Monday, for instance, he keeps the machine up to light opera airs just fast enough to keep his assistants shaving customers at a nice, steady gait. Tuesday being a quiet day in the barber business, “Home, Sweet Home” and “You'll Remember Me,” are 0od enough. Wednesday, Thursday and ‘riday the barber confines the musical box to popular selections of a rather lively nature. On Saturdays he puts the reels und jigs on top, and every barber in the house is on the run.—Philadelphia Call. AUCTION SALES. AUCTION —CONTINUED AT— 111 Sutter Street. M. WUNSCH & CO.
