THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1895. 5 RIVAL COMPANIES SHOOT, Co. D. Fifth Infantry Regiment N. G. C. Again Defeated by Cook’s Men. CRACK SHOTS AT SHELL MOUND. Cook Says He WIIl Put Up a Higher Score for the San Rafael Warriors. Company D, Fifth Infantry, N. G. C., Captain William Elliott commanding, was in beaten yesterday at the Shell Mound e by Company B, First Infantry, Cap- Irving B. Cook. The contest was the event of the day at the -yard range and attracted many spectators. Last December the friendly rivalry be- tween these two organizations culminated ina challenge from the San Rafael com- pany. Elliott somehow got it into his bead that he had several crack shots in Company D and was given to boasting of the general high average of his men at rifleshooting. Cook, though usually one of the most-modest men that ever sported two bars, wished for an oakleaf, and was also prone to extol the valorous deeds of his own command in putting out bullseyes. 8o it happened that in course of time the rival captains got their men together for a test of skill. Cook accepted Elliott’s chal- lenge and the match—fifty men on a side— was shot off at San Rafael. It was not a walkover for Company B ans, though Cook expected an His company scored 1846 points and the rival organization got 1841. TS This would have satisfied some captains, but the zeal of Cook cried out for a higher score. He has had his men at the range until they threatened to enlist in the regu- lar army, for the purpose of getting a little rest. “Brace up, boys,” he would say, as he dragged a squad of sleepy guardsmen over to Shell Mound of a Sunday morning be- fore breakfast. ‘‘Brace up, my braves; the reputation of Company B is at stake.” “We will do them so badly one of these days that Elliott will give up target shoot- ing and devote his spare time to drill. But they can’t drill as well as they shoot, and therein lies the joke.” Then the doughty captain would laugh a hard, cruel laugh, while his braves pegged away at the bullseye in the cold, gray mist of the morning. Conk wanted more of it, so he challenged Elliott, and the match came off yesterday. Company B scored a total of 1951 points. Company D got 1898 points. Cook now declares that he will not rest satisfied until he has defeated Elliott’s company by exactly 1898 points. In the meantime more practice.

The game of baseball originally sched- uled to be played a week ago between the Olympic Club team and the Vallejo team, was played yesterday on the Vallejo s. The score stood 11 to 6, and the boys carried home the honors. team went up on the morning train, escorted by a contingent of baseball enthu- siasts from the club. They returned jubi- lant about 8 o’clock last evening.

The Truant and Flash Had the Pen~ nants—A Day of Incidents and Accldents. A slashing sailing breeze, choppy seas in | | the channel, pretty maneuvering off shore, | an accident or two, a fine day overhead with a cloudy fringing of the sky and a gathering of beauty on the San Francisco | Yacht Club-house porch were some of the | incidents which united to make the first | regatta of .the season one of the | most interesting and successful ever theld on the bay. The peerless lit- | tle Queen made the fastest time around | the course and added another lien to her | mortgage on the Hammersmith Field 1 cup, the prize for which the race was run. | The course was from an imaginary line the line,with her mainsail, gaff topsail and | two jibs set. The gun on the porch blazed away at this moment, and the Rover got a uff of wind that filled her sails out like lloons and ducked her lee rail under wa- ter. Commodore Bruce wasat the wheel,and the stanch little craft stood up like brick house. Down toward Shag Rock she gal- loped like a racehorse, fairly jumping over the waves, and taking but little water aboard. Her ponderous mainsail keeled her over until she seemea to be scuddingz along on her beam ends. But the Clara was_after her, and the old-timer pressed the Rover closely. The Elia got off wrong and had to 20 back and take a fresh start, the Pride of the Bay getting away before her. The Pride is a new boat of the year and great things were expected of her. Dawn went to the line, stepping the water as daintily as a debutante at her first cotil- lon. Over she went with all sail set, and followed in the wake of the Rover and the Clara. She had an immense field of can- vas spread and her mast creaked beneath the strain. Her very bowsprit seemed to bend under the stays, but she sped on like a deer. Half way down to Shag Rock her two jibes suddenly fell flat and hung limp in the wind. The sails haa simply torn the bowsprit out and the Pride of the Bay was a thing of the past. The boat came about and headed for Hurricane Gulch. Her luster was dimmed snd the wind screeching down the gulch hummed a dirge through her rigging. With mainsail, gaff, jib and balloon jib flying the Sappim came last in the class, but the way she closed the gap between herself and the leadmfi boats was wonder- ful to_behold, The Rover went around Shag Rock with all her sails still set, and on the reach to the Angel Island stake- THE CLARA AND QUEEN ROUNDING THE HOME STAKEBOAT. has played nearly all the clubs of any con- sequence in the vicinity of San Francisco. The Olympic wheelmen scattered to the four winds yesterday. A squad of five or six took a run down to San Jose, starting in the morning and returning by train in the evening. A biz gang started for Hay- wards and San Leandro, and more took the boat for Sausalito and tried the roads to San Rafael and in Ross and Mill Valley. There were more of the men on the country roads yesterday than have been out onany previous Sunday this year. HIGH JIKS OF ATHLETES San Francisco Club Enjoys a Sunday’s Prearranged Programme. Muslc, Boxing and Wrestling Oc- cupy the Attention of the Members. The quarters of the San Francisco Ath- letic Club, 43134 Sixth street, were crowded to suffocation yesterday afternoon by members of the club as participants in the annual “high-jinks” of the organization. There was not a member of the club, in good standing, absent. They were all there and enjoyed the programme as ar- ranged by the committee and the liquid and dry refreshments prepared for the guests of the club. The entertainment was practically under control of W. H. Daily, who acted as master of ceremonies. 'Mr. Daily demon- strated to the members of the club and the invited guests that he was an athlete whose right to membership should not be disputed. High benches had been erected at the rear of the room from which officials of the club could view the various feats at- tempted by the members. Spacious desk room had been prepared for the master of ceremonies, and was amply occupied by Mr. Daily with the assistance of numerous plates of sandwiches and tankards of beer brought to the sanctum from time to time by admiring members of the club who served as waiters for the official bench. After an elaborate descriotion of the ob- jects of the club and the good it had ac- 2omplished for the young men south of Mz\rgeb street, Mr. Dailey announced the first feature of the afternoon’s entertain- ment, in which all present were expected to join without too much perspiration, as a “solo by Thomas Lyons and S. Dugan.” Mr. Lyons handled "a concertina, from which ‘emanated the catchy air of “Her Golden Hair Is Hanging Down Her Back,” while Mr. Dugan kept accurate time on the giano. Cheers and a liberal display of handkerchiefs (to remove the perspiration) greeted the rendition. An encore was re- sponded to with a medley of popular airs which put the audience in the proper con- dition to see men meet in the arena. “W. Britt will now ‘box’ J. Maroney three rounds,” announced the master of ceremonies. According to the club mem- bers, “‘it took no time for them to get to- gether,” and yet they did some pretty sparring with the big mitts that woqu not hurt a baby unless attached to a pile- driver. _For the best interests of the club no de- cisions were given, and points failed to count except in the relative opinion'of the sandwiches and beer. Music by Baker with a banjo and Patter- son with a mandolin, boxing between L. Wi{gms and William Thomas, a song by L. Levenberg, boxing between F. Cough- lin and E. Rafael, a song by Mat Malowe, boxing by Tom Devine and J. McDevitt, music by Chase and Patterson, boxing between James McQueeney and D.'0’Brien, a song by George Little and wrestling by other members of the club filled out the programme. Shortly after 6 o’clock Mr. Daily an- nounced the programme completed, and invited all those present to repair to the depleted bar and there quench their thirst and fill the inner man with sandwiches, which had satisfied those who had been there before. A carp taken out of the water may be kept alive for twelve hours by a piece of bread soaked in brandy placed in its mouth. —————— The mud baths of Dax, in France, have existed and been more or less celebrated since the time of the Romans, out from the the clubhouse to and around Shag Rock, thence to and around a stake- boat anchored off the southwest end of Angel Island, thence around the Chispa and across the starting line. There were four classes started. The first three classes only contended for the cup and they had to go twice around the course. race, with the Clara so close a second as to raise a question in the minds of the owners of the latter craft, who demanded a remeasurement. The Queen only beat the Sappho by 1 minute and 28 seconds, but that was plenty of time in which to win a race. The Sappho did some rapid sailing dur- ing the day, and made remarkable time considering her mishaps. She lost a man overboard and had to stop to pick him up, topmast out of an outside yacht which happened to get in her way. The prettiest bit of sailorwork was done by Captain H. L. Janes of the Thelma, who weathered the Harpoon in a most artistic manner. The two vessels were bowling along toward home on the last leg the first time around the course, and made a most beautiful sight of it as they flew on with their gloss; bottoms half out of water, all sail set an the spray flying in clouds over them. The Thelma made a short tack, coming about like a top, but fouled the Gedney and lost her chance of crossing the line. The Harpoon weut to the stern of the Gedney 'and stood away up toward Richardson’s Bay to get the shore breeze. In the meantime the Thelma had run away on the wind, and it looked as if she was out of the race. She came about in a minute, and a moment later was piling up the water before her in a mad dash for the Harpoon. She rounded the stern of the Gedney as the Harpoon was coming down for the line. Then Young jibed her and she answered true and shot across her rival’s bow, going around to the windward of the Harpoon and blanketing that craft. The Harpoon had to go about again, while the Thelma sailed gayly away. The Thelma and Harpoon were only launched this season and considerable interest was mani- fested as to the way in which they would act. The clever work of the Thelma did herno good in the end, for the Harpoon beat her afterall. During the pretty ex- hibition the Queen was sailing and sailing, with Ed Howard’s hand on the wheel and his eye on the cup. _The following table shows the winners, giving the time of sailing and finishing, the actual and corrected fleet and class time for classes 1, 2 and 3: %3 mRo B am £¥ 2% EEEE 2= g s 23 San R Rl Gy Z (s 3 H ] : : 8 Bk ErE e e T St M EER BEEE S.—-E»aflg‘-gmmi """ uspary SBr e E8E R g8 S et 5§ 888 £ 8 |ewmp renpv EE §5% 3888 e e B T T R SE e o B B o BB OEBR3 &3 25C E88 S R e e 28 285 ¥8838 |poy50n 5 &% £ B = 88 & g s8¢ e L It was originally intended to start four classes, but as the Cisne was the only boat to show up in the fifth class she was put into the fourth at the last moment and her time was taken and considered accord- ingly. Following is the time-table of the fourth class: CLASS 4.

The Clara was hard upon her heels with main- sail, gaff, topsail and jib flying, and a retty chase it was to the stakeboat. The | Rover rounded the boat well in the lead and legged it for home as hard as she could travel, but the Clara kept pegging tance between them. W. F. Stone had the wheel and he had a good crew with him, | and never was a boat more prettily han- | dled. Inch by inch she gained on the Rover, and it was demonstrated with each leap that the latter was carrying too much canvas. The Rover made a long tack to round the homestake boat, while the Clara just hugg{ed the Chispa’s stern. She crossed the Rover’s bows and got to windward of the boat with the red-shirted crew and sailed over the line like a startled fawn, while the Rover had to go about. The Sappho meantime had lost ground, but she was picking it up rapidly. On the first leg of the course her balloon jib was carried away and precious moments were squandered getting the sail back. She I:lcked up the lost time after she rounded Shag Reck, but as she was driving along on the second leg Fred Nelson, the boat- man, went overboard. Nelson was haul- ing up the jib topsail, when the sail flnr{:e and sent him into the bay. He held on to the sheet, and as the boat bounded he made a desperate lunge for the bobstay, to which he clung like grim death until he was hauled back on deck. Despite the mishaps the Sappho plugged along with Leon Thomas at the wheel ana Mascot Herman Denhardt in the cockpit. She ‘was almost on top of the Rover, when thedatter came about for the second time. But the Rover sped away like a frightened dove after lge Clara. Everything was flying on the Sappho when she went over the line. The SilverCloud, an outside yacht, was just to the wind- ward of the Gedney as the Sappho came bounding along, and a collision seemed in- evitable. It was the place of the stranger to give way to the racing craft, but she un- hesitatingly held on to her course. “Slack vour sheet!! yelled Thomas, as the Sappho pere down. Butthe crew of the intruder seemed paralyzed. The boom of the Supxlvho caught the forerigging of the Silver Cloud, and the next moment down came the jib and the topmast went by the board. The SaPphD did not wait to apohk)gize, but went oif in the wake of the cracks. The second class went away ten minutes later than the big boats, the Thelma with everything set leading the way. The Queen went out_all by herself, and the Harpoon and the Edna came down together. The Harpoon took all the wind out of the Edna’s sails, and the Edna didn’t do any more sailing in the race. The Truant was the first to get out in the third class, and she was shortly followed by the Sleipner and the Mascotte. The Naiad came along Jater, and was the only one to finish with the Truant. Good sailing qualities and superior handling brought Commodore Pew in ahead of his class. The start in the fourth class put every- body in good humor. Captain von Schmidt was lying back at his ease when the signal was given, but in a moment u; went his Iugger sail, and the Whirlwind, Surprise and Cisne went down to the line in a bunch. The Whirlwind was to the windward, and Von Schmidt must have laughed in hi% sleeve when he blanketed the other craft. . There was no fimss growing on the Queen’s bottom all this while. She was oing around the course like a streak of ightning. Over toward Angel Island a pretty procession of yachts was hurrying along, with the Queen somewhere in the middle of the column, and between the parade and the shore white-winged craft were darting hither and thither, playing in and out racing, and the sight was a most exhilarating one. It was found that Clara had been cred- ited with three feet more than her sailing length, but even this difference could not put her ahead of the Sappho, Meanwhile the Queen quietly stole in and as she had started more than ten minutes behind the others it did not take long to ascertain that she was the winner of the race, and that Morrell had both hands on the silver 2o i S b tais RDESIZ) a-»-mg»-té BRESeS) ] e 52 50| 2 1=ty 9| 2|8 In the first class the Rover was the first to get off.

TEAMS DID NOT BREAK EVEN. The Bohemlans, Pacifics and Ala- medas Ran Up Some Inter- esting Scores. The Bohemians had the Pacifics as their opponents in the Hunter-Hawson trophy contest yesterday and attracted a large attendance. Going to bat first the Bohe- mians put together the formidable total of 147—Reynolds 35, Robertson 29 and Web- ster 28. Webster had particularly hard luck in being run out while having a substitute to run for him. The fielding of the Bohe- mians was of first-class order, and the brilliant play of Lugg, which resulted in Mutch being run out, was especially fine. The Pacifics had perhaps rather the worst of the luck, but it could not account for the feeble display of batting. So far the Bohemians, Pacifics and Alamedas are even in this contest, witn the Californias nowhere. Following are the scores: BOHEMIANS. S.B. Martin b. Casidy. H.W. V. P. Walby not out. TIrwin b.

A Fast Record From San Leandro to San Jose Made by Joseph B. Carey. Ten members of the California Cycling Club returned late last night from one of the hardest wheeling trips they could pos- sibly have taken. The party left here Saturday night at 6 o’clock and rode to Congress Springs, a distance of forty-nine miles, arriving there at midnight. They started at 7 o’clock yesterday morning for Santa Cruz, via Bowlder Creek, a distance of only thirty-three miles, but owing to the mountainous country and the terrible condition of the roads it required eight hours of hard work, principally walking, to make the distance. After a hearty din- ner at Santa Cruz they returned by train. The party consisted of Captain Burke, Lieutenants Egeberg and Mayo, Messrs. Sternberg, Burnett, Struven, Erbe, Boyle, Creamer and Schultz. Burke and Mayo left the train at Los Gatos to ride back to the City. The Xopos Bachelors’ Club of San Jose held one of its monthly cycle races yester- day on the Garden City Cyclers’ track, The event was a one-mile handicap, and the contestants were: C. N. Ravlin, scratch; . A. Tanner, 200 yards; S. W. Wedmore, 200; F. W. Eckles, 200; N. A, Planich, 250; Al Appleton, 300; a Eckles, 375. Tanner was the winner, his time from 200 yards being 2 min. 30 1-5 secs. Wed- more was second. Ravlin came in third from the scratch in 2 min. 32 4-5 secs. The prize contested for was a beautiful diamond scarfpin. The officials were: C. S. Wells and G. A. Badger, George Thompson, timer: judge; Joe Delmas, starter. The Ladies’ Cycling Club of San Jose held a picnic run Saturday to Edenvale. Eighteen members made the trip. 'Fhe Bay City Wheelmen had a picnic run yesterday. The Acmes of Oakland rode to the Infi]eside, the Reliance Club to Tocoloma and the Crescents to Niles Canyon. Joseph B. Carey of the Garden City Cyclers holds the record now for the fast- est trip from San Leandro to San Jose. He was paced down by the Seybelt broth- ers on their tandem Saturday and made the run in 1 hour 57 min., which means a gait of twenty miles an hour, Bald and Macdonald, the Eastern racers, may be seen on a tandem team this season. Tandem racing is very popular now, and they would surely prove a very fast com- bination. B - Frank and Victor A. Hancock will ride their tandem to Santa Rosa on next Thurs- day, May 9. The Rambler quadruplet will pace Allan Jones an exhibition mile at the same time. Trainer Aylward, with Jones and Walter Foster, are now at Santa Rosa training. 3 o Dr. T. L. Hill and wife will wheel to the Geysers and through Sonoma County this week. ———— PROTEST FROM BIOYOLISTS Made to the Supervisors Against Throw- ing Refuse on Streets. A communication from bicyclists and other citizens was submitted to the Board of Supervisors Saturday regarding the reprehensible practice of throwing garbage on the streets. It is as follows: To the Board of Sugervfim‘a, San Francisco: The undersigned, residents of San Francisco, respectfully place before your honorable board the following facts: Great annoyance is caused to the increasing number of persons who drive horses or who use bicycles for business or recreation by brokea bottles, pieces of wire, and e and other refuse matter cast upon the publie streets. Many cases are occurring of severe damage to bicyele tires by cuts and punctures irom said refuse as all bicycle dealers can testify. A city ordinance prohibits the throwing of any garbage npon the streets, but as it does not £0 beyond a simple prohibition it is violated with impunity, the police being unable to make arrests, except in the rare cases where m?’ can catch an cfender in the act or can find a witness to give evidence. Wherefore, we do respectfully ask for the protection of the eyeling_public_and of horse- owners; that the said ordinance be so amended by yourhonorable board as to compel owners, agents 8r tenants of city property to remove all garbage in front of their respective premises and to Place it in & proper Teceptacle. Such removal to be done at least once a day; also, that some penalty be provided for failure to comply with the ordinanees. T.F.

Letters of inquiry regarding the publication of Richard Reali's poems are constantly re- ceived in San Francisco. A few days ago Col- onel A. G. Hawes got a letter, with subseription money inclosed, from John Swinton of the New York Sun asking when the volume would appear. It seems that the committee of Cali- fornians which proposed to erect & monument in memory of Realf concluded that the publi- cation of a volume of the poet’s verses would be the best monument that could be devised. To carry out this plan Richard J. Hinton, who was associated with Realf in Kansas, was &p- pointed or recognized as the literary executor of the poet. Mr. Hinton has recently sponded with Miss K. H. Durham of 1036 Val- lejo street, giving that young lady assurance that the volume, to consist of 300 pages and four illustrations, will be published ana de- livered to subscribers some time this year. It appears from the correspondence that Mr. Hin- ton has not yet selected a publisher, but feels sanguine that good terms can be obtained from some publishing-house if fifty more subscribers can be obtained in California. PIGEON TOURNAMENT, Six Matches for Money Closes the Meeting for the Season. S. The Scores Below the Average Yesterday Due to Over Practice. The pigeon tournament closed yesterday at Oakland track with six matches, in which considerable money changed hands. No remarkable scores were made, the shooting falling below the average of the two previous days. A 12-bird match—$7 50 entrance money— opened the day’s sport.

In winter Labrador is simplg frozen out from the rest of the world. One *‘komi- tick,” or dog-sled, mail reaches some of the more southern settlements late 1n’the spring. The Moravian missionaries at the squimaun villages further north endeavor at least once a winter to visit by komitick the few scattered white settlers within 100 miles or so of the missions. Sometimes the komitick is overtaken by a severe snowstorm before shelter can be obtained. Then the missionary and his Esquimau- driver dig a deep ditch down in the snow ana camp in the bottom. The gases from the camp-fire prevent the snow from float- ing in, and the travelers are sheltered from the icy blasts. At Battle Harbor, Labra- dor, where there is a church (there are only two churches, I think, on the Labra- dor coast south of the Moravian missions), they have a public sewing machine, an and one long winter, when the kerosene oil supply became very low, the women gathered at the parsonage and did their sewing by the h}nrsonage lamp. As the Battle Harbor Mission is too poor to fur- nish the wee church with a bell, the rector sifluls the callto service with a flag. igh amox:f the rocks at Liltfia Bay, Newfoundland, I saw two little churches. One of these had a small belfry perched on a still higher rock. The other’s bell swung from a tall spar and to ring it one was obliged to climb a ladder much like the shrouds of a vessel. The dog sled is also the reiulnr method of winter traveling over the frozen bsga of Newfoundland, only it is drawn by Newfoundland dogs in- stead of by half wolfish Esquimau canines ugon which the men of Labrador have to rely. The Esquiman dogs, with the equally uvage mosquitoes, make life ashore a bur- den during summer in Labrador. A stick to beat off the dogs and a veil as a pro- tection against mosquitoes are absolutely necessary. It is a curious fact that the further ‘north you go the more pesti- ferous the mosquitoes become. They are worse in Labrador than in New Jersey and are still worse in Greenland than even in Labrador,—St. Nicholas. Sour Risings, Bloating, Dyspepsia, Insomnia, DUE TO RAPID LIVING. AMERICANS ARE PRONE TO RUSH, to hurry, to quicken. They rush for cars, rush for boats, ruth for business, rush for amusements and rush for meals. These rushings make money and cost money, but, worst of all, these rushings rush you into dyspepsia; then you rush just the same, but it is an irritable rush, sometimes an irresponsible rush.
