The largely advertised rowing contest between the oarsmen of the University of California and Columbia Boating Club did not draw a large crowd to the Oakland Estuary yesterday afternoon. Evidently it was the threatening weather which de- terred many pleasure-hunters from being interested spectators of the first amateur shell race of the season. The Columbia crew won the race very easily. when it is taken into considera- tion that they rowed in a four-oared shell as against a clumsy barge, which was used by the men of learning, no great won- der was manifested at the result. The time of the race—two miles with a tarn— slow, even allowing that a strong south wind was blowing at the time. The Columbias f onds and the Ur ning post in 16 minutes 24 seconds. The crews were as follows: D. Smith, No. 13 Alexander Rosborough, No. ¥ aptain. University—Dwight Hutchinson, No. 1; Wi liam M. Cole ohn L. Wittenme 7 3; N. C. Grew, and captain; Robert Eas- 10n, coxswain. Is were: the University of California; Charles Yale; referee, George 0. stroki Strong. It was announced that the race would start at 2:30 o’clock sharp, but it was al- most 4 o'clock when the men from the classic precincts of old Berkeley, dressed in their white and golden aquatic garments, iuade their appearance. The reason for this delay was owing to the loss of their favorite boat, which was burned a few evenings ago in the conflagra- tion that swept the U. C. clubhouse from the face of the earth. The clubs had agreed to row in the new barges, both of which were built by How- ard, an old seafaring man, but as an un- foreseen accident came along when least expected there remained only one barge, which was safely housed in the Columbia boathouse during the fire that destroyed such valuable aquatic property. The Columbia crew, according to the rules governing boat-racing, might have Towed over the course in their barge and claimed the race, but, of course, such an act would not be considered for a moment by gentlemen sportsmen. The Columbias having the right, under the circumstances attending, to name any racing craft answerable to the occasion, they selected | one of two four-oared racing shells, or, as Eroiessiona]s would term them, working oats, to race in. ‘When the men from Berkeley “sized” np the two snells, which in construction were alike, they objected on the ground that they had had no experience in the menip- ulation of such craft, and, men were too heavy to successfully han- dle it. The college boys protested also against the steering apparatus, which was munipulated by the feet, thereby dispens- ing with a coxswain. The two crews commenced to argue the why and wherefore at 12 M., and it was 3 ». M. when the boys from Berkeley decided that their only alternative was to get in and dig as best they could in the shells. The Columbia crew pulled out into the open water immediately on hearing the result of the U. C. Club’s conference, and all eyes were expectantly cast upon the Columbias’ headquarters, where the col- lege lads were engaged in arranging the strapping gear, in which their feet must play a prominent part in a shell race. The minutes were slipping away fast, and the sharp cold south wingwas playing Paxton How- | 0. | | Timer, Colone! Ed-| besides, their | | a kind of “rain-in-theface” | Columbia crew, who were wondering in game with the | their flimsy dress what could have turned | up to cause a further delay. | Half an hour }mssed and still the colors | of the “U. C.” Club were under cover. The | whistle of a tug, in which some sight-seers | were shivering, blasted and blasied, but the Berkeley boys paid not the slightest at- tention. One hour from the time Columbia had taken water and wind a big barge was seen nosing out of the clubhouse until it ap- | | peared in full view of the spectators on the opposite bank. Quickly the boys of the blue and gold shoved their anatomies into the | uncouth-looking racing dugout, and when the order “all set”” was given by their cap- n the barge shot through the water in the direction of the starting point. It was ascertained that some of the Berkeley crew had positively refused to take any chances of a dump into the briny, and that was a reason for the delay and the appearance of the new boat, which, of course, was never intended for a racer. | The tide s about on the turn when the start was given, and as expected the Co- lumbias took the lead, which they held from start to finish, winning easily by 100 | yards or more. The most interesting part of the race was the grand-stand finish | made by Paxton Howard, who endeavored | to convince the spectators that he could actually row with one hand, and still it has been frequently said that men have | won races with hands down. There were many present who said that in the new barges the crews would saot have been so far apart at the finish. . 'COUNTRY CLUB MEETING. ¥red Tallant Winner of the Third Sea- son Contest. The Country Club held its third live- | pigeon contest for the season at the Oak- | land race track yesterday afternoon. A | large number of guests had been invited, but owing to the threatening weather only | a few attended. Eight members participated in the regu- | lar twelve-point match, which was won by | Fred Tallant, after shooting off a ten-bird | tie with Robert Oxnard, in which the | former killed one pigeon and the latter | three out of a possible four. C. W. Tuttle came next in order with | nine birds to his credit, and the same num- | ber were recorded for Barron Nimptsch. | R. H. Sprague and J. D. Grant followed | with seven birds each, while Atherton and Dr. Vowinckel got four. The full score was as follows: R. H. Spragi 120120111000-7 | Robert Oxnard. 11021211101 1-10 | Barron Nimptsch....112100221022— 9 . D. Atherton. 12010000000 4 llant 11112220221 0 rant 10100110012 7. Tuttl 12222202220 9 Dr. F. W.

The first stake was divided between Sprague and Barron Nimptsch. Sprague won the second outright, and Atherton got the third. Fenno and Oxnard divided the fourth, | leaving the fifth to be equally shared be- | tween Barron Nimptsch and Sprague. The birds were a lively lot, and declared by all to be the best put in the trap for this season. | Four more matches will take place be- | fore the record for this season is closed, | the latter contest being booked for Del | Monte. The winners for this season so far { are: Ed Donahoe, R. H. Sprague and Fred Tallant. — iy o Bancroft & Co. to Dissolve. A. L. Bancroft & Co. have petitioned the | Buperior Court for an order of dissolution of partnership resolved on by a vote of over two- | thirdsof all the stockholders. The directors | are: Charles O. Richards, F. G. Peterson, G. Edwards, H. M. Monk and Nels Olson. The tition will be heard by Judge Sanderson on une b o =1 OUT AT THE RACE TRACK, The Saturday Crowd Had A Hard Time Picking Win- ners in the Mud. FIVE FAVORITES WENT DOWN William Pinkerton Proved the Best of the Two-Year Olds In the Handicap. Hinrichs and Bob Isom each rode two win- ners yesterday. Eventide is always unfortunate in getting a poor start. Ferguson dropped the flag to a very ragged go in her race. The muddy going worked a striking improve- ment in Outright's running qualities. Starting a decided favorite on Friday, he failed to geta chalk-mark in & five and a half furlong run in 1:10. The mile and & quarter handicap looked too sure for Lovdal, and sll scratched but the Burns and Waterhouse entries. If racing is to be continued all summer it seems as though it would bea good plan on the part of the Jockey Club to abolish the en- trance money fee. Notwithstanding the length of the present meeting, some horse- owner has an attachment put on his stable every few days for an unpaid feed bill, or em- ployes’ wages, which he is unable to pay. The Spreckels string, comprising Cadmus, Gallant, Piquante, Pique, Rummel, Pat Mur- phy, Foremost, imp. Candid and four others, leave Los Angeles Monday for Hawthorne track, Chicago. Seaman took a nasty tumble with Wild Oats in the hurdle race, but beyond & severe shak- ing up escaped uninjured. The stewards continued the investigation of the charges against Owner Denny Lynch of the Arizona stable at the conclusion of the last race yesterday, but no decision will be reached until next week Imp. Doncaster broke down in his race. The Australian horse was out for a “killing,” and Dr. Bowhill and his friends intended to have a real old-fashioned hogmany supper on the spoils, Malcom would be a good horse for Professor Gleason to operate on at one of his exhibitions. He had to be left at the post in his race. Somewhere down near the turn into the home stretch, deeply buried in the mud, the Bay District track contains the re- mains of five favorites that started in as many different races yesterday and failed to ever get near the goal of success, to the heartrending grief of a sorrowing talent. If it is mud that blinds them heir owners should be compelled to run the first choices with goggles on, for what an awful tale of dis in times of slushy going and pouring rain, | Yesterday was far, very far from an ideal racing day, yet the customary Saturday crowd was in attendance, and were a great assistance to the bookmakers in increasing their bank accounts. An outsider opened proceedings by taking the first event on the card, and fourother unfigured sk ates followed in his wake. Realization endeav- ored to uphold the reputation of the favor- ites by winning the last race on the card. Sir Walter seemed to have found a soft spot in the opening event, a mile selling atfair, and was made a 7-to-5 favorite, Tmp. Doncaster, at fours, was also well supported. Outright, an 8-to-1 chance, and Esperance raced out in front until passing the halt, when Outright shook him off and was never headed, winning by two lengths from the favorite. Polaski, poorly ridden by a stable-boy, was a good third, and sfinuld have been much closer. Bookmaker George Rose’'s horse Mul- berry was made a 3-to-5 chance for the sec- ond race at seven furlongs, and he either cannot run in the mud or else some one | j¢ i greased his plates, for he finished an in- | glorions last. Royal Flush, with sixes | against him, and Roma, at 12 to 1, raced | out in front a block ahead of the others all the way. At the end Royal Flush won | rather cleverly by a length and a half. Roma was second four lengths ahead of Trix. Six two-year-olds lined up in the five furlong handicap. Joan opened at 6 to 5, but there such a strong play on Even- tide, who was backed down from fours to 11 to 5, that 8 to 5 was chalked againt Joan at post time. Opening at 2 to 1 William Pinkerton, the topweight, closed a point higher. Starter Ferguson swished the red flag to a very broken go, Don Gara and Pinkerton first away. The latter was joined at the turn by Joan, and the two raced in front into the stretch. Pinkerton failed to qnit this trip, and won at the wire by halfa length. Don Gara was a good third. A five-furlong scramble, that took fhe place of the handicap declared off, came next. The talent would have nothing but Ricardo, and he carried a small barrel of money on his chances, at prices ranging from 8to5to2to 1. They had overlooked a good mud-lark Centurion, with 8 to 1 against him, and after Middleton and Willie G _had headed the bunch into the stretch, Hinrichs began moving up with him and was romping at the wire by two lengths. Middleton finished second, a length in front of Ri- cardo. The two-mile hurdle race was a good betting affair, all of the starters being held at short prices in_the ring. At post time, Relampago and Mestor coupled had threes about them and Wild Oats was at the same figure. With 4 to 1 against him Spence took Bellringer out in front and he kicked mud in the others’ faces all the way, winning handily by a couple of lengths from Mero. Mestor was a poor third. April slipped and very nearly fell after taking the sixth jump, which ruined his chance. Wild Qats also fell at this jump. . All scratched out of the last race, a five and a half furlongs skip, but four. Re- alization was made a 1 to 2 favorite and he fully justified the confidence placed in him by winning easily from Major Cook, who made the running well into the stretch. O’Bee, of which great things were ex- pected, was a poor thind. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27, 1895. 818, FIRST RACE_One mile; selling; three- + year-olds and upward; purse $300. ind.

On Wednesday evening, May 1, the new gymnasium recently established by the Second Artillery Regiment, N. G. C., in the armory on Page and Gough streets, will be thrown open to the public in a re- | ception which the athletic associationgof the regiment will give to its friends. The armory is fitted up with nearly $2000 worth of apparatus, all of the best and most approved pattern. There have as yet been no aerial apparatus put in, and a question whether or not it would be advisable to place any more weight on the big trusses which support the roof. There is no lack of other apparatus, however, and dumbbells, Indian clubs, fencing foils, broadswords and singlesticks, weights of all kinds and horizontal and upright ladders are set around along the walls and in the corners. There are nearly 500 men in the Second Regiment and all are enthusiastic over the new annex. Some old athletic club men and Turners are in the companies and it is expected that the Second Artillery Regi- ment Athletic Association will assume a place of importance in the athletic element of the city. Incidentally it is recruiting the regiment with good men and many of them. AND THEN SHE SOREAMED. A Proposed Chinese Marriage Causes a Vigorous Protest. ‘‘Speaking of international marriages,” began a serious lady, who had evidently weighed her words, says the Chicago Times-Herald. “We are speaking about my takinga Chinaman for a pupil,” remindea the pretty young lady, innocently. “Yes, I know. As I said, speaking about internutional marriages, the line has to be drawn somewhere, and I think it ought to be drawn at Chinamen. Now, if we believe in protection in this country, why—" *“We did. We don’t now,” interjected the club woman. “Why,” resumed the serious lady, who began to look dazed. *‘T believe in protect- ing our girls. Here is a case in point. A Chinaman living in Detroit visited his na- tive country and brought back a wife. He was admitted, but his bride is in Canada, and there is no way to get her in. So the husband goes to Canada to spend his Sun- days with her. N:ce state of affairs, I call it. What becomes of the theory thata man and his wife are one—are one—is one—oh, dear me. Well, anyhow, gram- mar or not, this Chinaman will get tired of emigrating every time he wants to see his wife, s0 he’ll send her back to China and then marry his white Sunday-school teacher, that's what he’ll do.”” “Oh, mercy,” screamed the pretty young lady. ———————— Cycling Up Hill. In the first place, for general riding it is safe to say that one should never try to keep the same speed in going up a hill that he has been setting himself on alevel road. Yet this is the natural tendency of all riders. The bicycle should be allowed to slow down, and ‘the pressure on each pedal should kf made the moment that it turns beyond the highest point of its arc. The push should be strong for the moment, and then should be withdrawn before the pedal has turned so far down that the pressure upon it is partially wasted. In other words, the principle is the same as in rowing, where the stroke should be made most powerful at the moment when the oar is at right angles with the body, and therefore in the position where the oarsman’s strength counts for the most. If the bicycle is allowed to run slowly, and this pressure is alternately made on one pedal and then on the other, you will find 1t moves along slowly, to be sure, but steadily, and that you are at the top of the hill before you realize it, and without ever having even quickened your pulse to any great extent. A very steep hill may, of course, be made somewhat easier by taking it diagonally across from one side to the other if the road is wide and smooth enough—that is, by zigzaging up the hill.— Harper's Young Peop%e. ——————————— San Antonio, Tex., councils have passed an ordinance which prohibits physicians from charging more than $1avisit.

Dazed by a Chance Blow the Weaker Man Is Put to Sleep in Short Order. GALVESTON, Tex., April 27.—By a chance blow Dan Creedon knocked out Billy McCarthy in the Tremont Opera- house to-night in less than a minute. ““Honest” John Duffy was the referee. McCarthy was a little slow in putting up his hands. Creedon took advantage of it and landed on the side of the chin with his left, which dazed McCarthy. He followed it up with his left, knocking McCarthy against the ropes and nearly upsetting the post to which the gong was fastened. McCarthy still stood his ground, but was too dazed to defend himself. He stood up before Creedon again and was promptly knocked against the ropes. Again he came up dazed, and a tap on the chin put him out. Referee Duffy put his arms around McCarthy as he fell, and counted him out. McCarthy recovered immediately and walked to his dressing-room. Nearly 2000 people witnessed the fight. The crowd was much dissatisfied with the outcome, having exvected to see a long fight, as both men were in excellent con- dition, evenly matched, and had the mid- dle-weight championship honor to settle between them since Fitzsimmons has gone into the heavy-weight class. Professor Duffy to-night said that he very much re- gretted the outcome. “I honestly believe that this fight was a fight on the level,” he said. *‘I expected it to last twenty rbunds at least, but it was a chance blow that first dazed McCarthy and Creedon followed it up right and left until he finished him.” The crowd became very boisterous until pacified by a three-round sparring bout between Creedon and Tommy Tracey. ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Three Favorites and Two Second Choices Win at Lexington. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 27.— Track heavy, weather clear; attendance, 1500. Three favorites and two second choices won. The betting was spirited. The feature of the day was the Ashland Oaks, which was won by Hessie, who nipped Queen May at the fifteen-sixteenths pole and won in a drive by half a length. Six furlongs, selling, Clinty C won, Car- rie H second, Metropolis third. Time, 1:19. Seven furlongs, Mickle won, Myrtle sec- ond, Spiritualist third. Time, :513. Ashland Oaks, for three-year-old fillies, guaranteed $1250, one mile, Hessie won, Queen May second, Princess third. Time, 1:43%. Purse, maiden two-year-olds, four and a half furlongs, Irish Lady won, Belle of Fordham second, Mahoney third. Time, :59%. Purse for two-year-olds, five furlongs, Feast won, Helena Belle second, If third. Time, 1:0614. NASHVILLE, Texsw., April 27.—This was “‘get-away’’ day at Cumberland Park, but, contrary to expectations no surprises were sprung. The track was slow and the weather threatening, but the attendance was large. Fleishmann & Sons’ Vespers, the 2 to 5 favorite for the Avondale stakes, finished in front, but was disqualified for fouling Minnie Clyde in the stretch. Ves- pers was running in front, but when Thorpe drew the whip on her she swerved badly, and McDonald, on Minnie Clyde, had to pull up, as he was coming fast on the inside. The judges discussed a good deal, but they were unanimous in their verdict. Six furlongs, Tobin won, Lady Buchanan second, Miss Sturgis third. Time, 1:17%. Four and a half furlongs, Gay City Girl won, Rondo second (coupied with Faun), Othun third. Time, :58. Six and a half furlongs, O’Connell won, Belle Foster second, Melody third. Time, 1:2314. Avondale stakes, for two-year-olds, $1000, five-eighths of a mile, Vespers won, Minnie Clyde second, Excuse third. Time, 1:03. Selling, one and a quarter miles, Terra- pin won, Lonsdale second, Peytonia third. Time, 2:133;. MEMPHIS, TENN., April 27.—The largest crowd of the meeting, with the exception of the Derby-day crowd, attended the “Get Away”’ races at Montgomery Park to-day. The Montgomery stakes, which promised to be a great contest, dwindled down to a match race between Rey el Santa Anita and Sister Mary and resulted in a big surprise. The pair ran like a double team until within the last furlong, when the mare came away from the Bald- win crack as though he was standing still.

PINE BLUFF, ARk., April 27.—A pretty three-round fight took place here to-night between Billy O'Donneil of Memphis and Jim Hogan of San Francisco, and was de- cided in favor of O'Donnell on a foul. Hogan, who weighs 138 pounds, was fear- fully punished by his opponent, whose weight was twelve pounds less and who is much his superior in science. In the third round the referee ordered them to break away, when Hogan’s seconds refused to let him fight any longer and Hogan did not respond when time was called, although 0'Donnell begged him to let the fight goon.
