Captaln Rees and Quirt, Considered * Air-Tights” by the Talent, Both Beaten. Hinrichs gave a sample of what he can do by riding three winners yesterday. Felix Carr won his last race at the meeting on Lovdal. He &nd the Isom boys left for the East last evening. The hottest tip of the day was the one out on Linville in the opening race. He was promi- nent until well into the stretch. Shaw, on Biue Bell. came very near stealing the first race by making a close turn into the stretch, while the leaders went wide.

When Halifax, with three others, were heads apart forty yards trom the wire 1 missed the cigar from “Chev’s” mouth. Of course I would not like to say he swallowed it, but stranger things have hap- pened on a racetrack. Halifax wes third. Notwithstanding the “juicy” going’ at | the District yesterday the favorites | fared better than for several days preced- ing, three of them manaeing to get home | in front. To be sure, those knocked down were decidedly warm ones, as, for instance, Captain Rees and Quirt, but turf history tells us it is these uncertainties that make | horse-racing the glorious sport that it is. Clacquer, the first choice in the opening event, was the other disgrdced favorite. The event of the day was to have been the mile and a sixteenth handicap, and for | fear he might break a record the official | handicapper put the awful impost of 117 pounds on Lovdal. He went to the post a9 to 10 and be se he didn’t | lose his field the first half mile was the | fault of his rider, not the horse. He won as he liked, with Malo Diablo, the second i ce, and McLight third. ry, the Sacramento sphinx, once in a while has a good thing up his sleeve, and the first race yesterday gave him an opportunity to cut something Joose. It was a five-furlong run and Clacquer was a 9 to 5 favorite. From 7 to 1, Mantell, who is in Mr. Murry’s stable, as played down to 414 to 1. George Rose’s horse, Middleton, was second choice at 7 to 2. Clacquer and Mantell had the race to! themseives, ing well together all the way. In the last few jumps Henrichs got | Mantell’s nose in front and he received the verdict. Middleton was a poor third. ortuna, the favorite, took the second race at_six furlongs, after racing out in | front witir Linville, who was backed down | . from 4to2to1, and Rose Clark, another good thing. Blue Bell,a 12 to1 chance, was second, two lengths in front of San Louis Re A five and a half selling race for all ages was substituted in place of the third race, declared off. Sir Walter, the 4 to 5 favorite, won this event after some very ful | navigating on the part of his jockey, Mike Hennessy. Reserve, an 8 to 1 chance, was placed second and Halifax third. Captain Rees wasmade a redhot favorite for the fifth race at five and a half fur- Iongs, 11 to 10 being the closing price against him at post time. Tillie 8 was a “hot thing” yesterday and was backed down from 6 to 3 to 1. Banjo! well he is always at a good price sometimes. Yester- day he wasSto 1. Banjo and Hueneme had the race to themselves from the drop of the flag, the former rning very handily by three parts of a length. Tillie S came very fast next the fence, finishing a bang-up third. Another hot favorite was downed in the Jast race. Of course, on performances, Quirt was a decided first_choice, closing in the betting at 11 to 10. Howard, the 5 to 2 second choice, went out in front and won in a gallop by four lengths from the fa- vorite, Miss Ruth finished third. MULHOLLAND. SUMMAR FIRST RA 836. purse s500. Ind.

Sligo 98, RACE, A Dance at the Club-House on Saturday Night—The Race Open to All On next Sunday afternoon the first re- gatta of the season will be held under the | auspices of the San Francisco Yacht Club | over the “Clubhouse course.” The race is clubs on the bay, and the greatest race | ever held on the bay is confidently looked | for by the yachtsmen. Over ninety invita- | | The regatta will be the second run for | ome cup now held by the Queen. | The classification, based on load water ! line, will be as follows: Class A, yachts over 50 feet in length and not over 3 between 30 and 35 feet; class 3, be- tween 25 and 30 feet; class 4, between 20 | and 25 feet, and class 5, under 20 feet. | The sailing regulations are those of the San Francisco Yacht Club. TPhe Seawan- haka Yacht Club rules will govern simply in the matter of classification and compu- tation for sailing length. The time allow- ance is based on the rule of the latter club, | and for this purpose it is requested that | the official measurements of boats in the | various clubs be furnished the regatta committee. The course is as follows: Starting from an imaginary line drawn | from flag on clubhouse wharf to stake- boat Chispa; thence to Shag Rock; thence to stakeboat off Angel nd bell; thence boats on port hand. Classes 1, 2and 3 go over the ‘course twice; the others only | once. Finish must be made in crossing, the line by leaving stakeboat Chispa on port hand: and those classes going over course twice must leave said stakeboat on | port hand both first time around and at | finish. Those not going over the exact course or passing the stakeboat on wrong side may | consider themselves ruled out, without | protest. If there is any question of doubt as to the wording of the rules it may be an- swered before the race on consultation with the regatta committee. Yachtsmen are requested to keep the | course clear between the clubhouse wharf | and the Chispa and not anchor there or | otherwise obstruct the course until all the yachts have started and finished. The judges of the race will be Charles G. Yale, Matthew Turner and J. M. Shotwell. A preparatory gun will be fired five min- utes before the race. Class 1 will be sent off at 1:30 . M. and the remaining classes at intervals of ten minutes each, the last two going off in a bunch. Before each start whistles will be sounded. On Saturday night there will be a hop at the clubhouse, and in the stream wij t anchor all the vessels whic ’s ¥an,< ipate in the morrow North Pacific Coast road 8 make an extra trip f ie occasion. The | steamer San Rafael leave San Fran- | cisco for Sausalito at 8 . M. and returning | leave Sausalito at 11 p. M. arranged to | AMONG THE WHEELMEN, ‘W. A, Terrill, the Great Class B Racer, to Ride in the Eas W. A. Terrill, the fast class B racer of this City, is to ride on the Eastern circuit this year. When M. F. Dirnberger and J. P. Bliss, the Eastern cracker-jacks, came here last spring to train they were very much impressed with the speed shown by Terrill. This year Dirnberger is manager of the Syracuse team, and while looking around for material to complete the team | he remembered the young Californian, and | telegraphed him an offer which Terrill has accepted. He has instructions to re- ort at Louisville, Ky., May 15, and will eave here the latter part of next week. The rain yesterday necessitated the post- onement of the racesto be run at Oak- and for the benefit of Fabiola Hospital until Saturday, May 11. By this time, however, E. C. Bald, the great class B man, will be in the East, as he leaves here | with the rest of the Columbia team to- mOrTow. C. 8. Wells will not go East with the Columbia team, as has been reported. He may go on the Syracuse team with Dirn- berger, Terrill and Decardy, the great long- distance ride. All the races to be run at Santa Rosa | May 9, in connection with the rose carni- val, will be class A events. There will be a half-mile invitation race for visitin wheelmen, while the rest of the races wifi be open only to the wheelmen of Sonoma County. Here is the list of events: Half-mile scratch, open to Santa Rosa wheelmen only; one-mile handicap, half-mile hnndinan‘ quarter-mile scratch, two-mile scratch, Sonoma County cham- pionship. F. H. Kerrigan, Ipresklent of the Bay City Wheelmen, will leave Saturday for a two weeks’ wheeling trip through Sonoma County. W.C. Brode of the same club has returned from his trip to Los Angeles. Captam Dodge has called a ““blind picnic run’ for the Bay City Wheelmen for next Sunday, to some point not over fifteen miles away, the destination being known only to the captain. The start will be made from the clubhouse at 9:30 A. ». Un- attached wheelmen cordially invited. —————— The cornerstone of a monument to Gari- baldi was laid on Monte Glanicolo, in Rome, a few days ago. The King and Queen and Ministers were present. ATHLETES GOING EAST, The Picked Men of Califor- nia’s University After Honors. WILL LEAVE THIS MORNING. Challenges Accepted From Wis- consin and Chicago for the Return. The University of California athletic team, consisting of eleven men, will leave this morning at 7 o’clock for Princeton. They will go in the special train char- tered by the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation as far as Chicago, and then on to Princeton, where they are billed to meet the Princeton College men on the 1ith inst.

BOXING AND ATHLETICS. The King and Peppers Fistic Entertain- ment—A New Athletic Scheme. The Imperial Athletic Club at Colma will be opened on the evening of the 24th inst. under new management. Professors Joseph McAuliffe, Barney Farley and Charles Bergen et al. have transferred their interest in the club to two well-known sporting men, and the Jatter propose to give a boxing entertainment evecy month should the sporting public give the pas- time a liberal patronage. The card for the opening night will be a twenty-round contest between Joe King and Henry Peppers (colored). The pugi- lists have signed an afroement to fight for Fred W. Koch, Captain University of California Athletic Team. will be at Princeton on the date of their arrival, to meet them. The training quarters on Doud street, Berkeley, were the scene of great activity d yesterday. The athletes were engaged in packing trunks, casing es, arranging their wardrobes and bidding their friends farewell. Captain Koch said last night at the re- ception tendered the team by the students at Btiles Hall that everything was in read- iness for the trip and that the men were anxiously waiting for the hour of leaving to come. He said that the team was never in better condition and that if they all fen] as well on the day they meet Prince- tan as they do now some startling records will be made. He had _just received word that the Uni- versity of Wisconsin wishes to meet the team on their return trip, and that the Chicago Athletic Club has made a good offer for a meet to take place about the | middle of June. These two propositions for contests were entirely unexpected and in all probability their challenges will be accepted. The Chicago Athletic Club is composed of members from the different colleges in the vicinity and is said to havea large membership of well-trained athletes. Enough money has been loaned the team | to pay their expenses until they enter a field day from which some returns will come. An elegant present, consisting of two silk banners with embroidered bear and the word ‘‘California” on each was pre- sented yesterday to the team by the U. C. Alumni A The contests arranged for up to date in which the team will enter are as follow: Princeton, May 11; Pennsylvania, May 18: American intercollegiate championship, New York, May 25; Western championship, Chicago, June 1; University of M 1- linois or Denver athletic CHINESE FISH ~ ARTISTS, A Scheme by Which a Failing Industry Was Re- vived. Something About the King Salmon of Eel River—An English Gun License. higan, June 8; June 15. The Chinese know a thing or two in the way of increasing their sales of fish. The latest scheme is unquestionably both novel and ingenious. The crafty Mongolian fishmonger has found that the carp, shad, flounder,ete.,will not keep fresh many hours in warm weather unless placed in a cold- storage house, and as ice is a commodity which the Chinese seldom or neveruseas a means of preserving their fish, some of the enterprising fish-dealers of Chinatown have hit upon a plan for deceiving the un- suspecting housewives who have only one positive way of ascertaining whether fish offered for sale is fresh or not. In the last year or so seyeral Chinese peddlers have embarked in the business of peddling fish and fruit about town, and one of the Mongolians stated yesterday that as the fish trade was falling off be- cause of the difficulty in keeping the fish |in a fresh and palatable state something had to be done to offset the present depres- sion in business. ““You see,” said one of the leading man- agers of Chinatown, when asked what he | intended doing with a number of carp and flounders whose ¢ills had just been painted a bright red, “‘those fish were rapidly be- coming stale, as you may see by a glance at the sills of the ones that have not yet received a brushing up. We cannot afford to throw them away, and it is almost im- Fossible to_sell any fish whose gills have ost their pink or reddish tint. “The first thing a purchaser will do is to examine the gifis, and if they are of a bright color a sale can be easily made; but on the other hand if the gills are pallid the purchaser will push the fish aside as being worthless and unfit for table use. We now paint the gills, as you may see, and the deception works like a charm. ‘We have saved a business that was almost gone, on the strength of a little paint and the knack of knowing how to use it.” Any Eerson anxious to see the fish artists of hinatown at work can get full particulars from Police Officer Cullen, whose beat is in the Chinatown district. J. W. Monroe, a merchant of Fortuna, Humboldt County, is at present on a visit to this City. Being passionately fond of shooting and fishing, Mr. Monroe has taken an active interest in the preserva- tion of the fish and game of Humboldt County. He states that the game and fish Jaws are being well observed in the north for the good reason that poachers who were caught were heavily fined. Angling in the Eel River will not be good until July and August, when the small steel- heads of one pound weight will visit the stream in large numbers. Next to arrive are the large steelheads, which take their departure on ;the arrival of the chuband king salmon.” The latter is a very game fish, and many of them caught by net fishermen have weighed as much as fifty unds. At the pregent time the best fish- mevu in the Van Dusen. Sedd hen Miss Annie Oakley was visiting England she had to take out a gun license a purse and a share of the gate receipts at 160 pounds. King will train for the mill at a resort near the Cliff House, and Peppers will go through his drill daily in the vicinity of Golden Gate Park. The colored freak has taken into his imaginative thinking box the idea that bicycle riding is the best of all outdoor ex- ercises, and he proposes to do considerable riding from now until the day assigned for the heavy-weight fistic dispute. There is some talk of matching Tom Barry against one of the old-time boxers for a ten-round ‘‘go,” which will be her- alded as the “curtain-raiser” to the event of the evening. The amateur athletic clubs of the East- ern States have discovered® a scheme through which thty hope to popularize an outdoor pastime, which of late years has fallen off considerably in public favor. In a letter to a member of the Olympic Club from New York it is stated that the Ath- letic Association of the University of Penn- sylvania has hit upon a novel plan for in- ducing ladies to take greater interest in athletics. The scheme is to issue season tickets to the ladies at the nominal price of $2. These tickets are good for entrance to all athletic contests and entitle the holder to the choicest seats of the grand stand. The Olympic Club of this city might pro- fit by the system now in vogue in the East by adopting a_similar plan. It is safe to say that if the Olympics shouid hit upon a scheme by which they can fill their grand stand with ladies when athletic meetings are held the men would quickly flock to the grounds. Without the presence of ladies, however, amateur sports cannot hope to be made popular anywhere, N EASY WORK FOR THEM Fish Commissioners Who Have Trouble to Collect Licenses. A Night on the Sacramento River That Fishermen Will Remember. The Fish Commissioners have by mo means the easy sailing that a majority of the people of this Stateimagine. The gen- eral belief is that the office of Fish Com- missioner is, in respect to ease, like water falling from a duck’s back. This isa great mistake, and the sooner the people of the State who are interested in the fish and game interests are acquainted with the true facts the better it will be for all concerned. It must be remembered that the officers of the Fish Commission receive no salary. The office is solely one of honor, and is sought after only by men who are deeply interested in the preservation and mainte- nance of the game and fish of this State. In brief, only anglers and sportsmen iny the true sense will accept such an office. The public, which comprises all sorts of men with divers ideas, *have opinions to express regarding the doings of the new Fish and Game Commission, but few of the people most deeply interested in the subjects that pertain to game and fish will interest themselves to the extent of paying a visit to the headquarters of the commis- sion and acquiring information which will not only place them in a position to argue correctly the doings of the commission, but in case of any matter in dispute they will be fortified with facts sufficient to knock out any opinions that cannot be | grounded on facts. The Fish Commissioners are doing valu- able work in the interest of the citizens of the State. The salmon, which is unques- tionably the most edible and marketable of fish sold by the fish merchants of this City, would certainly become extinct in the near future if ‘the professional net fishermen were allowed an unrestricted right toward depleting the rivers and bays of this table fish. t is.a well known fact that the net fishermen, who are principally composed of Greeks and Italians, do not observe any law, and will catch salmon at all seasons 1f permitted to do so. Those foreigners pay | no attention to the law, and, unless the should be restricted from catching fish during prescribed months of the year when the salmon are on the run to their spawn- ing grounds, it would not be many years hence when the king of food fishes would be as scarce in the markets of this City as the highly prized pompano. As an illustration to evidence the an- noyance the Deputy I'ish Commissioners meet with occasionally when collecting licenses from the pro{essionnl fishermen it is oniy necessary to cite one instance in which blood was shed before the deputies could convince the foreigners that the law must be observed. It was last Saturday night when Deputies W. F. McFarland and J.H. Davis ran down upon a crew of net fishermen who were‘illegally catching salmon. Their nets were confiscated and the fishermen placed under arrest. The transgressors of the law were escorted to Collinsville and fined, but when they re- gained their boats they became abusive and insulting and threatened the Deputy Commissioners with all kinds of damage. McFarland, to fizuard himself against at- tack, was compelled to puil his pistol in defense, and a young fellow who flourished a knife in his face was saved from being made a target of by the interference of his father, who stepped between the devuty and the man who swore he would carve the Commissioner into mincemeat. All this disturbance was caused by the Greek fishermen, who thought that they had a perfect right to fish at all times and all seaons, regardless of the law, which they looked upon as being a dead letter. Un- fortunately, there are some country Judges who take sides with the lawbreak- ers, and, as a matter of course, the deputy Fxs}x Commissioners have reason to com- ?lam against the treatment the{ receive rom Judges and juries who are favorably disposed toward a class of men who are a bugbear to the interests of the commission and the people of the State, THE ORIOKETERS. Games That Are on the Slate for Next Sunday—A Visit to Penryn. The cricketers will be well represented next Sunday at Alameda and Berkeley. At the former place the Alameda and Cl[vi- defeat the Bohemians they will remain in first place in the race for the Hunter-Har- rison cup, but, on the other hand, should the Bohemians score a victory and the Alamedas defeat the Californias, then the Pacifics, Alamedas and Californias will be on an equality. It is believed that the Alamedas will defeat the Californias at Alameda, but at Golden Gate the result is in doubt. The Pacifics have made arrangements to FlBY a two days’ match with the Citrus Colony Club at Penryn on May 18 and 19, and the Alamedas will follow with a two days’ match with the same club at Penryn later in the season. SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL. Riordan and Wren Defeat Donnelly and Bonnet —The Coming Tour- nament. Riordan and Wren of the Union hand- ball court played Donnelly and Bonnet of the Occidental court at the latter court last night. The court was crowded and a large number of ladies were in the upper gallery. The match was the best of five games, 21 aces. Each game was closely contested and until the ?nst the excitement was kept up. The final game was won by Riordan and Wren, largely owing to Wren’s mag- nificent service. Following was the scor Riordan and Wren. 1 16 17 21 2L Donnelly and Bonnet 26 21 21 13 6 The tournament at the Occidental court for the team amateur championship of the coast, which was to have commenced last night, has been postponed till May 15 owing to unavoidable causes. The Occi- dental Club will have a meeting to-morrow night to select the handicapper, judge and scorer. From the large number of entries already received the event will prove a great success, the more especially as the gold medals to be presented by the club will be worthy of the occasion. ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Bookmakers Make a Big Killing on a Lexington Race. LEXINGTON, Ky., May 1.—Weather fine and track fast. It was ladies’ day and a large crowd was present. Two favorites, two outsiders and a second choice won the five events. The feature of the day was the Melbourne stakes, in which the crack colt Glacier was made an odds-on favorite, and finished fourth to Lady Inez, who could not win a purse race yesterday.

The Magnificent Ornaments of Some Un- earthed Mummies. The following most curious account of a remarkable discovery appears in the Academy of March 16, which says: “Mr. H. Villiers Stuart writes to the secretary of the Egyptian Exploration Fund from Cairo under date of March 4, as follows: ‘A few days ago there was discovered at Dashour the graves of two princesses of | the twelfth dynasty intact. The cotffins | had moldered away, and the mummies | lay each with a coronet on her head, and | wearing other jewelry. When an attempt | to move the mummies was made they fell to fragments. The jewelry is very beauti- ful. One of the coronets was, in fact, a wreath of forget-me-nots, made of precious stones, mounted in gold stems. At inter- | vals occurred Maltese crosses and precious stones set in gold. This lovely wreath was as perfect and’ looked as fresh as on the day it was made—a couple of centuries be- fore the time of Abraham!—more than 4000 years ago. It illustrates a passage in the poetic epitaph on the funeral pall of Queen Is-em-Kheh, “She is armed with flowers every dav.” I visited Dashour and saw, in situ, the sarcophagus in which these treasures were found, as also that of the other princess. She also had a lovely coronet, fitted with a socket in which was inserted a spray of various flowers made in jewels, with gold stems and goid foliage. Besides these, there are necklaces, brace- lets, armlets, anklets, daggers, charms, ete. These most interesting discoveries are due to the energy and sagacity of M. de Mor- %iae'sx' daiecwr-gegegalbof glgyptim fintiqui- , ably seconde me. d his gifted wite.” Wt
