The Tillman & Bendell Cyclists Have ‘Withdrawn From the Contest. The much-talked-of road race, which will be contested on Sunday over the San Leandro triangle between cyclists who rep- resent some of the leading business houses of this city, is creating no end of talk among the unattached wheelmen. The race will start at 10 o’clock sharp, and the team that will land a winner can rest as- lflnrg?}of having a close brush from start to nish. The secretary of the team that was to have represented the firm of Tillman & Bendell states that owing to some of the riders being in very poor cond house will not be represented on this occa- sion.

[TWILL EQUAL THE BEST, | Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s Plans of Equipping Their Track. WILL BE FINISHED VERY SOON. Plan of the Grounds, Clubhouse and Grand Stand—The Con- tract Signed. The'plans for the grand stand at the race- course of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club { have been finished. It is to bea most | complete structure and a fitting one in all | its appointments for the track which, when | the work is all done, will be the finest in | the United States. | A valley runs through the entire tract from east to west. Thisrequired a filling | a filling of fitty-four feet to bring the track | to a level at the western end and five feet | | on the eastern end and necessitated the use of many horses and scrapers. | Asthegrand stand is to be built upona rocky eminence, the preparation of the | | foundation has occupied much time. The | betting ring in the grand stand is, of } course, to be on the ground floor. Accord- ing to the plans this floor is to be sixteen feet below the perch upon which the pas- sengers are to be landed from the electric- cars. Nothing more complete could be desired than the arrangements of the grand stand. Every accommodation that will enhance the pleasure of the visitors has been pro- vided. Even the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean to the north is to be one of cars go within half a mile of it. The Mis- sion-street electric-cars now run within a mile of it. Both companies are now ar- ranging for rights of way and will come to tbde very gates of the track, one from either side. The idea of having a racing course other than that of the Bay District Association has been considered by local horsemen a long time. It was not till about six months aio that it assumed positive form, though. Then trouble with the management of fhe racing system induced 2 number of local horsemen te withdraw their stables and sell their stock in the association. These gentlemen then proceeded to or- ganize the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. Many of the wealthiest horsemen in the State identified themselves with it, promi- nent among them being Adolph Spreck- els, Henry J. Crocker, Ed Corrigan and Joe TUliman. They at once secured the piece of property near Ocean View and began preparations to turn it into a track. The contracts have been let with the understanding that the work was to be completed by November 1. Mr. Allen is certain thateverything will be in shipshape a month earlier. WHEELING ITEMS, Sanction Granted for Race Meets. A Number of Suspen- sions.

No one has ever yet succeeded in rightly predicting the resnlt of the great inter- collogiate field day. Formerly liarvard, Yale and Princeton battled for the supremacy, Harvard generally winning. Last vear Yale carried off first honors, Harvard barely defeating Pennsylvania for second place. This year Pennsylvania has a fine chance to defeaf Yale, and California may press Harvard for third place. Some eighteen colleges and universities compete, winnings is a great honor for California. Closely estimating, Pennsylvania and Yale should éach ecore bétween thirty and thirty- five points, and California and Harvard be- tween ten and twenty. thus leaving about thirty points to bs divided between Princeton, Union, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia and the other Eastern universities. It is perhaps easier to say what the records in each event will be than who will be the record-makers, The 100-yard dash will probably be run in 10 ‘seconds, Ramsdell (Pa), Crum (ows) and Scoggins (U. C.) all having equaled that time, while Richarda of Yale, Patterson of Wil- liams, Chatain of Columbia and Bigelow of Harvard have run in 10 1-5 seconds. It is & mere guess to piek the winner from sucn fast company, although Ramedell is the favorite. With a twenty-two-second record he is also the favorite in the 220. Wade of Yale, Derr of Princeton, and the U. C. pair, Barnes and Scog- gins, are good for about 22 2.5 seconds. Sterrett of Pennsylvania, Wade of Yale, Vin- cent of Harvard and Sands of Union have all run the quarter in the neighborhood of 5014 seconds, and Koch of the U. C. is generally put in their company. The half-mile run is considered a gift to Kil- patrick of Union. His phenomenal record is 1 min. 55 1-5 sec. Orion of FPennsylvania and r of Harvard have bettered 2 minutes. Orton should win second. Holl Ithink The mile run §s supposed to belong to Jarvis of Pennsylvanis, who won it last year at Mott Haven, and holds a 4:25 1-3 record. Orton is now beating him, but, thew, JArvis never is in torm until the great games. 'Morgan of Yale is likely to win the point. Thrall won second lest yvear in the walk, and has lately broken the Yale record, covering the This should win, with Phillips of Harvard second and Merwin of U.

If Chase of Dartmouth fs n his old form of 1535 seconds he will win the 1:20 hurdle race. will doubtiess carry offsecond and third places. The low hurdleés are considered s gift for Brenner of Harvard. Cady of Yale should take second, with the U. C. men near him. the furiong and quarter-mile runs, the walk, bicycle and two hurdle races, or a majority of the track events. They ehould have the same fortune in the field. The shot-put will doubtless go to Captain Hickok of Yale, with Knije of Pennsylvania and Brown of Yale bringi A 43-feet record is expecte The hammer-throw will doubtless go the same way, with Edgren, U. C., Patterson, Cor- nell, and Cross, Yale, fighting for second ana third. Rdgren, under Champion Mitchell’s instructions, is quite st sea, baving lost his own knack and not yet acquired Mitchell’s. Kershaw and Thomas of Yale will have it out in the pole-vault, with Bucheltz, “the iron man,” and Stewart of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania men are the favorites 8heldon of Yale seems a winner in the broad {nmp, having latcly made 23 fret. Stickney of arvard, Woolsey, U. C., #nd Ropers of Prince. Dozier, U. C., were not cycling he would be heard of in this event. Patterson, U. C., snould win the high lj(mup with 6 feet, Winsen of Pennsylyania, Koch, U. C., Paine of Harvard and Sheidon of Yale doubtless tying at 5 feet 104 inches. But high jumping is an uncertain game, especlally with Patterson, although he is show- ing magnificent form. here are G55 entries in these games, 8o each Californian will only have fifiy-nine and & frac- tlon men against him. The boys don't fear the fifty-nine, but the fraction is the last straw. There are so many entries that two days are required to run off the trial and final heats. The trials come off Friday afternoon, Of course this prediction is liable to be wrong, for “dark horses” may come out or athletes may be paralyzed at the start or fallin the race. Still the Californians are very lable to secure laces in the 210,440, walk, the jumps, the urdles, bicycle and the hammer-throwing. 1f they do, they will be satisfied; if they do not, they will not be disappointed, for they realize that numbers are againat them.

The Ocean House drive skirts the north- | ern end of the racecourse tract. The grand | | stand will be built with its back and main entrance toward this drive, and wilt face | directly to the south. To the right of the grand stand is to be erected the clubhouse, the plans for which are not yet completed. The two bulldings are to be connected by a covered passageway forty-four feet in length, At the left of the grand stand and just off the betting ring is to be the pad- ock, contalning sixteen box stalls, each of which is to be sixteen feet square. The grand stand is to occupy a space of 110 by 324 feet. At the back, where the electric-cars are to stop, there will be a Eorch extending the entire length of the uilding. At the main entrance, for a distance of 108 feet, this porch is to be eighteen feet wide. The rest of the porch will be but ten feet wide. The main entrance to the building will open into a spacious lobby. From this | will be four flights of stairs eighteen feet wide. Two of these are to lead up to the grand stand. The other two will go down to the betting ring. 3 The betting ring is to occupy a space 110 by 200 feet. It is five feet above the track. At the southern end of the first floor 1s to be a dining and lunch room. One of the innovations in the arrange- ment of the grand stand will be its position in regard to the track. It will not, as at the Bay District, directly face it. Instead it will be at quite a marked angle, so that the entire body of spectators can view the | horses coming down the length of the homestretch without straining their necks. The finish, of course, will be immediately | in front of the stand. The amount of this angle can be readily seen, from the fact that the quarter-stretci, one side of which is to be the 324-foot front. of the grand stand, will measure 40 feet in width at the western end and 85 feet in width at the eastern end. The quarter- stretch, which is to be paved with concrate or bitumen, will have a slight incline, as there will be a fall of five feet from the stand to the track. The second floor of the grand stand will have a seating capacity of 4000. The seats are arranged in tiers and run far back. At the rear of the seats is to be a promenade eighteen feet wide. _The entire back of the building with the dining-room and dressing-room is to con- sist of glass. This will afford a splendid view. There is also to be a balcony 16 by 112 feet overlooking the ocean. Along the front of the grand stand, ex- tending from the western end nearfy to the middle, are to be fifteen private boxes. These will be for the use of the directors and their friends. These boxes, with four broad stairways leading from the grand stand to the quarter-stretch, will accom- modate at least 1000 peopie more. The plans for the grand stand were made by T. Jp Welsh, under the direction of A. M. Allen. Mr. Allen says: “The track when it is finished will be equal to the best. The j ground bas a loamy soil about two feet deep. Under this 1s a sand foundation. This will be a great advantage.” The im- };rovemems alone, Mr. Allen said, would oot up $125,000. The grand stand will cost about $55,000. The grading of the track and tliing in of the valley will cost nearly $30,000. Then there will be the construc- tion of the clubhouse, the paddock, the stalls for the horses aud the cottages for their trainers and the helpers. “The track,” Mr. Allen declared enthu- siastically, “will be admirably fitted for fast work. The nature of the soil will | keep it springy and it will always be well drained. *It is to be a regulation track. The homestretch will be 8 feet wide and the rest of it 70 feet. The stretch is to be 1320 feet ione. The field will be 840 feet wide. On the curves there will be a fill of | five feet. ‘At proper intervals chutes are to be | built in. These are to enable horses to | have a straight track for astart in 3{-mile | and %-mile races and yet make a finish at | the siand.” Mr. Allen did not know whether the | Jockey Club would pump its own water or | depend upon the Sprine Valley Company. The matter all depended upon their supply of lights. “You see,’’ he explained, ‘“the electric lifhu coms within one and a half miles of us. If the company will extend its wires and supply us with light at a reason- able figure 1t would not ¥ay us to establish a pumping plant. But if we have to make our own light why the engineer might as well see to the pumping of the water, too. We'll have to lay the pipes anyhow and gx:e oxtra expense would be inconsidera- e," There will be no trouble about getting to the new track. The Ban Mtuogeelecffi:.

King and Peppers Will Try a Punch Yo-Night—The Bicyele Race. The Colma Athletic Club will give its first exhibition this evening, and as elabo- rate preparations have been made for the opening of the first fistic gun, the patrons of fistic sport anticipate seeing some good milling. Peppers and King have been training hard for the past three or four weeks, and their friends assert that it will be no easy matter to pick a winner. King | was selling a favorite last evening, the | odds being $10 to $8 50 on him against his colored opponent, Peppers. The latter has | very little to say on the subject, but inti- mates that King will need have with him all the athietic gualities necessary to suc- cess in boxing to win the long end of the | purse. The fighters have good records and should put upa hot engagement when they | get fairly settled down o business. The preliminaries will consist of a ten- | round bout between McGrath and Shaugh- | nessy and a four-round set-to between | Rochette and Tom Murphy, who made | such a splendid showing against the | famous Tommy Ryan of Chicago not long | ago. Murphy is anxious to meet Billy | Gallagher "of the Los Angeles Athletic | Club in a twenty-reund contest, and should | he make a favorable impression on the managers of the club this evening he will | be matched against the hard-hitting Gal- | lagher. 5 | Billy Jordan, who will act as master of | ceremonies, lubricated the cranks of his | imperted French bicycle last evening, and | will leave the City at 4 o’clock this after- ! noon in a ride to Colma arainst the well- known heavy-weizht crack cyelist Jim | Young. Therace to Colma between the scorchers promises to be more interesting | than the inausural speech which will be | delivered this evening by Count Chesley, | the all-round sport and patron of clean athletics.

This will be the last public_demenstration before the meeting of the Merchants’ Association lon the 29th, and it is probable that a | permanent organization of some kina will e effected in anticipation of gome similar action en the part of the merchants. At any rate pavements wili be discussed thor- oughly, and, if nothlni else is done, it is at least intended to show that the wheel- men are a powerin the City. Every wheel- man in the City has been invited. ——————— No Extra Charge. Housekeeper—Half the things you wash are torn to pieces.

OTHERS NOT IN THE RACE. Lucky Baldwin’s Rey El Santa Anita Captures a Stake at Gravesend. CINCINNATI, Orro, May 23.—The Derby was what drew 19,000 people to Latonia’s opening meeting to-day. The day wasfine and the track fast. The Derby, a mile and a half race, was worth $5720 to the winner, had eight entries on the card, but Curator, Prather and Fandango were scratched, leaving five contestants. Halma, with Thorpe up, sold i to 4; Basso and Blasco, with Martin and VanBuren up, wentat 4 to 1; Free Advice, with A. Clayton up, was 12 to 1 to win and even to show, and Sat- suma brought 10 to 1 to win and 2 to 1 for place. The race as a spectacle was common- place. A good sendoff on the first trial showed Blasco leading by alengthand a half, with Basso, Halma, Satsuma and Free Advice following, with no room for daylight between them. After passing the grand stand Halma very quietly walked to the front and as quietly held itto the end. Blasco quieted at the end of the first mile, and the only contest remaining was between Free Advice and Satsuma for the place and show. At the end of the first mile Basso was second, Free Advice third and Satsuma fourth. In the finish the struggle for place was mag- nificent. It was foregone that Halma would win by three lengths and the place lay between Free Advice and Basso. In the last fifty feet Free Advice passed from third to second and took the place from Basso by a head, leaving Satsuma four lengths behind and Blasco lumbering far in the rear. The half mile was made in :5034, the mile in 1:421¢, the mile and a half in 2:341¢, which breaks the Latonia record. The swiftest quarter was the sec- ond, which was run in :243{.

NEW YORK, N. Y., May 23.—Taral, Doggett and Griffin delayed the start in the first race at Gravesend to-day, and were fined $5 each. In the second race Lamley, Penn, Keefe, R. Doggett, Hamil- ton and Speedy were fined $10 each. After the second race, the starts were prompt and good. Wernberg was the favorite in the opening race, but Rubicon was up to his old form and won rather easily, aithough he was badly left at the start. Rey el Santa Anita wasthe favorite with Ed Kearney in the =econd race. A prettier start was never seen on a track, all the horses breaking into a perfect line.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 23.—The signing by Governor Hastings of the Peltz anti-betting bill has had the effect of clos- ing the four poolrooms at Essington, Delaware County, near this city. The bill also practically kills racing in this State, for betting is so closely allied with racing that but few track managers will attempt to give racing without it. Over 160 entries have been received for the spring meeting at Belmont course, scheduled to open next Tuesday, and the officers of the club say the meeting will go according to the pro- gramme unless there is interference. Meetings set for later in the season will be abandoned. A HUNTER'S EXPERIENCE. How He Drowned a Duck—A Tale Hard to Believe. John MecCarty of Texas is a native of Spottsville, Ky., and was formerly a great duck-hunter. He was talking with a crowd of railroaders about the pleasures of hunt- | ing, when one of the party happened to tell a story about how many ducks he had shot. One tale led to another, and each was less worthy of belief than the one pre- ceding it. During the conversation John | had kept quiet, and when every one had finished he said: “Well, gentiemen, you | may talk about your duck-shooting, but I had an experience some time ago that I will not soon forget. I was out duck- hunting on a small stream near my home, and after an excellent day’s sport starte home. I had not got very far when a wild | duck flew down the stream, very near me. “It was too good an opportunity to miss; so I loaded my gun and fired. I struck the duck and crippled it; so I fired again, but the duck was too quick for me and dived every time he saw the smoke from my gun. After missing him several times I got angry and determined that I would | get him one way or another. I noticed | that the duck dived whenever he saw the | smoke from my gun; so I concluded that | iwonld make him dive so much that he would drown himself. Here another diffi- culty arose. I did not like to waste powder and shot_with which to make the smoke, and a fire on the ground would be too steady. Suddenly I hit on an excellent plan.” Itook out my pipe, and, filling it with tobacco, began to puff away for dear life, and every time I puffed the smoke out the fool duck’ dived and in a few minutes h‘e\lirowned himself.”—Louisville Commer- | cial.

Y., May 23.—The Cali- fornia team reached New York from Phila- delphia in good condition this afternoon. Over 600 men are opposed to them in the intercollegiate games to-morrow, so they cannot expect to win many points. The chances of the Harvard team have im- proved since Saturday, but Yale looks a winner. Pennsylvania’s chances depend upon Ramsdell, whose present form is un- known. The great number of heats, pre- venting a man from doing well 1n over one event, will hinder the U. C.’s from scoring many points. Tigers Deteat Cornell. PRINCETON, N.
