BAY CITY WHEELMEN MEET Good Sport Among the Cyclists at the Central Park Track. A LARGE CROWD ATTENDED. H. F. Terrlll, W. F. Foster, G. A. Nis- sen and S. D. Vincent Carried Off the Honors of the Day. Bicycle racing isa sport that has come to stay, for fully 5000 spectators otcupied the grand stands and bleachers at Central Park yesterday afternoon, and cheered themselves hoarse over the fast racing and iting finishes. It was a jolly crowd ie up in large part of ladies, all of had their favorites, and were alter- v elated or downcast as the rider they were championing won or was unsuccess- ful. There was no halfway with them; second or third place did not count. The honors of the day were about evenly divided, the riders from this city, Oakland | and San Jose being successful in winning an equal amount of prizes. The track at Central Park has a cement surface, is five laps to the mile, steeply banked on the turns, and is considered fast, but the stfong wind yesterday re- | THE SAN FRANCISCO CAILL, FRIDAY, MAY. 31, 1895. 8. J. R. C.; J. E. Edwards, 0. C. W., and R. Moody, G. C. C. This Was a sprint from the start, and in a fine finish Terrill won in 1 min. 21 25 sec. Edwards came fast at the tage and nipped second place from McFarland. » The third race was next run, a mile handicap, class B, divided into two heats, first, second and third in each heat to qualify for the final. In the first heat the starters were: W. A. Burke, A. C. W., scratch; G. A, Nissen, A. C. W., 90 yards; T. 8. Hali, B. C. W., 90 yaras; T. Delmas, G. C. C., 90 yards; H. C. Smith, G. C. C, 115 yards. 2 Foster and Long, the Olympic Club cracks, were entere‘f but did not ride. This left Burke scratch and the nearest man to him was 90 yards away. But the handi- cap men did not intend he should catch them if possible and set off at a merry clip. Burke rode_hard for two laps and then withdrew. Delmas put up the best ride and won the heat in 2 min. 24 2-5 sec., Smith second, Nissen third. There were five starters in the second heat, Wells, Langton and Marshall being scratched. Wells was evidently saving himself for the final of the one mile scratch. The starters were: C. M. Castle- man, A. Q. W.,scratch; W. H. Haley, O. C. W., 60 yards; R. Cushing, G.C. C., 100 yards; J.'C. Smith, 6. C. C,, 100 yards; J. . Harvey, C. C. C., 90 yards. Castleman made a great effort to catch the leaders, and wore himself out in the endeavor. He was up to them at the be- ginning of the last lap, but the bunch drew away from him and Harvey won in a fine spurt, with Smith second and Haley third. ime, 2:24 2-5. Harvey lost the race, how- ever, by looking around at the tape, asthis is against the racing rules, and the referce disqualified him, Again the class A men came to the tape in a mile handicap race, divided into six heats, the first in each heat and second in two fastest heats to qualify for final. In the first heat were: P. G. Alexander, C. SCENES AT THE BICYCLE MEET IN CENTRAL PARK. [From sketches by a “Call” artist.) tarded the riders on the backstretch, and | C. C. the time made in the various events was |130; nsequently somewhat slow. The races were held under the auspices of the Bay City Wheelmen, the foremost local cycling club, and the excellent way in which the speed contests were handled" was very favorably commented upon. There was no_hitch, no delay and every- thing passed off with a dash and vim credi- table to the management. The first race was the one mile, class B, scratch, divided into two heats, first and | second to qualify for final. The starters in the first heat were: C. M. Castleman, A. C. W.; C. S. Wells, B.C. W.; W.H. Haley, 0. C. W.; R. Cushing, G. C. C.; J. C. Smith, G. C. C. The strong wind sweeping down the back- C. W.; T. Delmas, G. C. C.; J. W. Harvey, stretch made the pace somewhat slow. On the last lap Wells assumed the lead, and handily in 2 minutes 49 2-5 seconds. ing hung on to Wells’ rear wheel, secur second, while Castleman got third position. The second heat hrouih W. A. Burke, A. C. W.; R. L. Long, 0.C. W.; G. A. Nissen, A.C. W.; T. 8. Hall, B. C.C.C.; W. F. Foster, 0. C. W.: H. C. Smith, G. C. C. : 3 At the start Burke's chain_broke, which threw him out of the race. Nissen set the pace for three laps, when Tony Delmas took the lead. Foster and Long were last, but moved up at the end of the third lap, when Nissen_again got the lead. In the final sprint Foster passed them all, win- ning a fine race in 2 min. 441-5 sec. Long was a close second, sitting up before he reached the tape, and Nissen got third place. The finish was very exciting, with seven riders on the steep banksof the track. The class A riders were then given an inning in a half-mile scratch race, divided into fnur heats, winners and fastest sec- In_the first heat won o t to the tape: were: ley, I. C. 5 0. L K. 'Agnew, A. C. W J.R.C. ckard, A. C. W.; A. .; G. Hardenbrook, 8. Terrill immediately assumed the lead and made the pace very fast, winning his heat easily in 1 min. 17 15 sec., with - denbrook second. There were four startersin the second heat, viz.: R. A. Plunkett, unattached; A.J. Menne, B. C. W.; W. B. Fawcett, O. C. W.; E. 8. Battles, B.C. W. On the second lap Plunkett’s wheel col- . lapsed, throwing him heavily and bringing down Fawcett with him. The latter was considerably injured, while Plunkett, whose grotesque appearance created much laughter, was uninjured. Plunkett, whose given name is Romeo, affects long hair and absurd dress, and was the laughing stock of the crowd. Menne won the heatin 1 min. 13 sec., with Battles second. In the third heat the starters were: F. A. McFarland, 8. J. R. C.; E. Languetin, B.C. W.; A. B. Pickard, A. C. W.; J. E. Edwards, 0. C. W. This was the fastest heat of the race, 2nd in a close finish McFarland won. Time, 1 min. 11 sec., Edwards second. The fourth heat furnished a fast set of class A riders. They were: O.B. Ew‘ , G. C. C.; R.Moody, G.C. C.; S.B. Vin- cent, B. C. W.; P.Metcalf, L. C.C.; P. 6. Alexander, C. C. C. i There was a narrow escape from an acci- dent on the second lap. Vincent, Moody and Alexander all three collided, but kept their heads, and by controlling their wheels did not fall. Moody regained his pace, came on fast, and won in 1 min. 18 2-5 sec., Vincent second. The final of the ote-mile, class B, scratch was_then run, those who qualified being W, F. Foster and R. L. Lon% . C. W.; C. S. Wells, B. C. W.; Raussell Cushing, G. C. C., and G. A. Nissen, A.C.W. The referee put & time limit of 2:35 o this race, to prevent loafing. Foster took the lead at the start. On the second Ifi;; Nissen came up front. Long and We! hung well back until the last lap, when a grand sprint took place, Foster coming very fast. But Wells’ strength against the wind stood him in t and he won by inches from Foster, with Long a good third. " As the time was 2 min. 40 sec., however, and not within the time limit, the referee ordered the race run over later in the day. 4 Then came the final of the hali-mile class A scratch, those who had qualified in their heats being H. F. Terrill, B.C. W.; A.J. Menne, B. C. W.; Floyd McFarland ’ ol | | | , 40 vards; A. H. Agnew, A. C. W., A. C. \Iagggy, 1. C. C., 100; G. Brouil- 1 | let, A, 5 It was a guestion whether Alexander, who is an stern racer of some note, could catch the limit men on account of the high wind. But he not only succeeded in this but won the heat in 2 min. 86 sec. Agnew was second. The wind and fast pace killed off the other two and they quit without finishing. The second heat brought out some fast men. Fawcett, who was injured by fall- ing in the half-mile race, came on the track to "K again, being hard‘ly recognizable be- neath a liberal covering of bandages. The starters were: H. F. Terrill, B. C. W., scratch; P. Met- calf, I. C.C., 90 yards; J.J. Boree, unat- tached, 50; W. B. Fawcett, 0. C. W., 80; E. C. Barley, L. C. C., 100; O. L. Pickard, | 4. C. W. 100; A. Smith, unattached, 130. Terrill had a hard game ahead of him, trying to catchb the limit men, but he went at his task with a will and caught two on the third lap and another before the lap was completed. But there were three more whom he could not overtake, and they fin- ished ahead of him. Barley was first in 2hmci‘n. 28 3-5 sec., Pickard second, Boree third. The third heat had six starters and in- cluded McFarland of San Jose, who is a noted road rider, he having ridden the fastest ten miles in the recent relay, his time being 26 min. 27 sec. The starters in this heat were: F. A. McFarland, S. J. R. C., 40yards; B.E. Clark, G. C. C., 100 yards; E. B, Battles, B. C.W., 90yards; J.S.Egan, 1. C. C., 130 yards; A.'L. Holling, I. C. C., 120 yards: W. L. Thompson, B. C. W., 95 yards. Egan and Holling of the Im%:nals took the lead and made 2 hot pace. Battles quit at the start, having lost his pedals. c- Farland caught the leaders on the last lap and won a good race in 2 min. 25 1-5 sec., ';itrl:iflnlling a close second and Thompson third. The final of the one-mile class B scratch was then run over again, with Foster and Long, Olympics, and Wells, Bay City, as starters. ' The same time limit as before, 2:35, was placed on the race, and to aid the riders in making this time pace-makers were introduced, W. A. Burke riding the first lap and beingDrelayed bgeC-sey Castle- man and C. L. Davis, it being intended that the racers should ride the last lap un- paced. Foster had the pole from jhe start and kept it all the way, with Wells and Long close behind. On the final lap Long slowed up and Wells and Foster gnght it out to the finish, the latter winning by a scant foot in 2 min. 20 sec. The pace-making was fast, as the time shows, but considerable time was lostin the exchange of places between the pacers or the time would have been much faster. Davis, the pacer on the fourth lap, did not withdraw as he should have done and the riders had to pass him on the outside. This practically gave Foster the race, as ells to slow up to get by Davis. ‘Then came the fourth heat of the mile handicap class A event. The starters were: E. Languetin, B.C. W., 40 yards; C. M. Smith, G. C.C., 90; 8. B, Vincent, B. €. W, 100; C. Bordman, S. F.R.C., 125; J. V.. ; B. H. Elford, - W., 120; A. Pickard, A. C. W., 120 : The pace was very fast and Languetin from 40 yards had some difficuity in catch- ing up with the leaders. He tired himself outdoing 50 and was not in it at the finish. Vincent shuwed the best condition and won the heat with room to spare, in 2 min. 19 sec. Wagner was second, Smith third. ‘There were five starters in the fifth heat and Menne, virtually the scratch man, ap- ‘:o?e f‘vax hufidi = Thr:i riders were: A, J. Menne, B. ards; A. B, C. W, 130; W. L, Witson, L. G, C., 130; A.W. Kitchen, 0. H. 8. W., 120: F. Struven, C.C.C.,150. It was a race among the limit men, and Struven won in 2 min. 214-5sec. Menne fiqnld not catch the men handicapped over im. The sixth and last heat was then run, and aithough the races were nearly over the audience still remained intensely in- terested. The starters were: H. L. bg, B. C. W., 110 yards; A. Thewen, C.C. C., 120 yards; C. D. Gooch, O. H.S. W., 140 vards; A.J.Buzard, R.C.C., 100 yards; J.E. Bdwards, 0. C. W., 60 yards; 0. B, Smith, G. C. C., 110 yards; G. Harden- brook, 8. J. R. C., 70 yards. Edwards, with 60 yards, was the practi- cal scratch 'man. After one false start, caused by Hardenbrook sliding ungrace- fully down the steep banks of the track, the riders got away fast, with the limit men riding li%e wild. Kdwards, like all the scratch men before him, wore himself out trying to catch the leaders, and had no speed lef,at;the finish, though he caught up with ail "but three. Smith and Day fought it out at the finish, the former win- ning in 2 minutes 20 2-5 seconds. Gooch was third. Day was a great favorite with the ladies in the Ennd stand, and proba- bly never before had his name yelled from so many fair throats as he came racing down the stretch. The day’s sport was about finished, there being but two finals to be run off. The first was the one-mile handicap, class B, those who had qualified in their heats being T. Delmas, . 0. C.; B. Cushing, G.CoC; W. H. Haley, 0. 0. W J. 0. and H. 8mith, G. C. 0. 'and G. A. Nisser, A.C.W. The riders were all bunched at the end of the second lap, Nissen doing most of the pacing. Delmas and Cushing were ressing him hard, but he won in a fine nish, with Delmas second and H. Smith third. Time, 2 min, 22 2-5 sec. Tle starters in the last event of the day, the final of the one-mile class A handicap, were: F. L. Day, B. C. W.; P. G. Alexan- der, C.C.C.; E. Barley, 1. C. C.; Farland, 8. J. R. C.; 8. B. Vincent, P. C. W.; O.B. Smith, G. C. 0., and C. Wagner, A.C.W. It was a good race from the crack of the pistol, all the men riding their best. McFarland, from scratch, soon caught the bunch, but could not win, as he was all tired out. Vincent came strong at the finish and won_in 2 min. and 19 15 sec. Sinith was second and Wagner third. The races were then over, and the crowd turned homeward well satistied with what had proven to be an afternoon of fine bicycle racing. SraLpING.

A bicyele or single-track railway to Santa Cruz from San Francisco through the Halfmoon Bay and Pescadero country along the coast is among the possibilities. Representatives of the owners of the pat- ents in the Boynton bicycle railway have been quietly at work for the past two weeks, and claim to have secured rights of way over two-thirds of the proposed line and to have good prospects of raising the capital necessary, which is $250,000, or half the total cost of the road. The Boynton people say that they will put up the other half. Ex-Attorney-General W. H. H. Hart and Sumner W. Bugbee have purchased the patent rights for the Pacific Coast. Mr. H:_i;t. in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: ‘“The capitalists back of us, the Boynton Bicycle Railway people, promise that if we can get $250.000 subscribed here to the cap- ital stock they will put up the balance re- quired. Of this $50,000 has already been offered by one man, and we are negotiating with three others to take as much more stock. I think we can put our hands on $150,000 inside of a week, and I have little doubt now that the company wiil be or- ganized and ready to go ahead with the building of the road within six weeks. “This system is so much cheaper than the others that the road will cost to build and equip not over $6000 a mile. We ex- pect to raise enough, about $500,000, to complete the road and put it in running order without issuing any bonds. The Baden people have offered us terminal facilities there, but we would probably prefer to come into town. “If built, the road will be elevated at all crossings, both railway and highway, and a speed of about 100 miles an Eour can be made. This will enable us to land pas- sengers from this City to Santa Cruz-n an hour and a half, including stoppages. We would build the road to be operated by electricity.” The Boynton bicycle railway is built with a single-rail track with a guide rail overhead. The cars are but six feet wide, and may be built in one or two stories or tiers in_order to move evenly and dis- tribute the weight. Itis proposed to carry both freight and passengers. Lol BICYCLE MEET AT PETALUMA. A Good Track and a Good Attendamee Cheer the Participants. PETALUMA, Can, May 30. — The county bicycle race meet, under the auspices of the Petaluma wheelmen, was held at the new quarter-mile track here this afternoon.

Sanborn, v.ua?:. = F. Mc- | 9 INTERSTATE COURSING, First Inclosed Meeting Held West of the Rocky Mountains. GREAT DAY AT CASSERLEY’S. The First Round of a Stake Con- tested For by Seventy-Six Dogs. The officers of the interstate coursing meeting felt elated when they cast their eyes on the immense crowd of ladies and gentlemen in the grand stand yester- day when the first brace of dogs was ordered into the slips at the Ocean View Coursing Park. Never was a more en- thusiastic or representative assemblage seen there before. There were admirers of the grand old sport from all parts of the State, and although old Boreas was in an angry mood and blew big guns during the meeting, the day was most pleasantly spent by all concerned. The extraordinarily large entry of dogs representing the principal cities within a radius of 200 miles of this City was in itself | an evidence that the sport of coursing is here to stay, and will flourish under honest and competent management. The gmvds were in first-class condition A SCENE AT THE INTERSTATE COURSING MEETING AT OCEAN VIEWEPARK. for dog-racing, but of the hares it must be | said that they were not as strong as the | sport lovers had hoped for. 3 This can be easily accounted for when it is taken into consideration that at this season of the year hares, like most game animals, are caring for their young, and of course cannot be expected to give such good accounts of themselves as in the fall of the year, when they are in fit condition to test the stamina and speed of the cham- pions. Then, again, the new arrivals from old and far-famed plateaus of Merced have not been given sufficient time to become conversant with tne racing park and the escapes, which, by the way, are situated at the farthest ends of the field from the | grand stand, thereby causing the specta- | tors to strain their eyes in the endeavor to | distinguish one color from another. The game, of course, will keep as near as it can to the escapes and, generally speak- ing, if two dogs are at all similar in color the matter of distinfuisning the red from | the white collar half a mile away from the rand stand is not by any means easy, un- | ess the spectator is provided with a good | fieldglass, which every sportsman should coursing meeting whether on the plains or in an inclosed park. All things considered, however, the hares which were coursed yesterday proved of good material. There were some ex- ceptions when short runs were the rule. In every aninting contest the judge was at his wits’ end to give a_decision, but not a single objection was raised against John Grace’s ruling. ¢! £ Short dashes are invariably dissatisfac- tory to the owners of the dogs, the specta- tors, and above all to the gentleman who is to decide the contests. Frequently it happens that the best dos is beaten by an inferior running hare, and when the judge must decide in ?Avor of the canine that has won by the meanest fluke, he cannot but feel disgusted when he orders the color un- der which the successful competitor is run- ning to be hoisted. 2 Fortunately, however, the majority of the races of yesterday were satisfactory to | the admirers of the sport, and as the hares, which arrived last week, will be thoroughly acelimated, and will have a good running idea of the grounds by Sunday next, the firiishing dashes of the great interstate meeting should be well worth witnessing. Anotger thing that many of the cours- in, enthuuiutsiad failed to take into con- sideration was the magnificeut condition of the animals that had entered the slips. It would have taken some of ‘‘the cracker- jacks” of 0ld Merced to keep on the move for any_distance in front of some of the long tails that swept like the wind over the green sward of Casserley’s Coursing Park yesterday after their quarry. It was 10:30 o’clock when the president of the day, Dominick Shannon, gave orders to the slipper to place the first brate of dogs in the slips. 7 A Mr. Shannon was assisted in the field by J. H. Perigo and J. J. Edwards. John Grace, the famous judge of coursing, was in the pigskin and Colonei James Wren, the tireless pedestrian, handled the slips in the most approved style. The first round resulted as follows: The first race, Right Bower and Ruby in the slips, the latter winning; Ace of Spades de- feated Gold King in a lively race; Johnny Rex was defeated by Mission Boy in’a close race; Stamboul defeatcd Royal Daisy in & short run; Dottie Dimple beat Major; Skyball in a short course beat New Broom ; short course between Pheasant B:?' and Georgie Dixon, the former whflnng; Valley Queen t Stranger rather easily. In an upgrade dash Merigold outfooted Daisy and won. A very fine course resulted between Empire and_Tipperary, the latter winniug be- cause of & heavy fall that Empire sustained near the end of the race. Will beat o’ the Wis Kilkenny 3irl; Dashway beat iaggie; B ing Buck handsomely dis] of Ban Boy; Sky- rocket placed Long Jack in the shade; Plunger and Evening Star ran & 10 g0, and in the race off Plunger won; Wee Lassie beat John Mitch- ell; Vida Shaw beat Chris Buckley in a short aash—Miss Vida caught Chr{nwxher napping; Royal Fellow beat Alden W. grand course was witnessed between Belmont end Dashin, Queen. Both dogs ran well and aiter seye: tarns had been made, the plucky little animal was bowled over by Belmont, whowon the race. Jack Dempsey beat Famous in a good uphill race; Applause and Marvelous havin, runa nodgn were placed in_ the slips a secon time, and the spectators witnes-ed one of the best courses of the day, which Marvelous won with some points to_spare; Brophy beat Star- light in & short dash; Captain Morse was de- feated by Little Banshee at a time when he had matiers his own way;in making one of his crack drives at the fleeing game he stum- bled and fell, giving the lead 1o his opponent, whieh she reteined to the finish, having made & sufficient number of points to win from the Royal Captsin. " Arnetta beat Dr. anh! very easily; White Rustic defeated White Chief in a long race after having raced a no 0; Graunawaile defeated ; Dalsy Crest o efeated Little Tom after runningan undecided race; Arnette beat Peter Jackson Jr.; Fullerton beat West Side; Electric beat Dan C: Fearless beat Lillie Gladstone; Royal Buck beat Lillian Russell very easily; Nellie Conroy beat Longfellow; Springtime beat Freesione; Best Trump beat Belle; Lady Fitzgerald beat Napoleon Jack in & short course; Kingston beat Kitty Scott; and &s & fitting termination to a first-class day’s sport a rattling here jumped up before Roll Along and Magpie and’ the former won aiter & most interesting race of fully three-quarters of & mile. | The grand feature of the meeting will be the final contest Sunday next between the winning dogs, and it goes without saying that the winners will have to extend them- selves to capture the the big money prizes that are at stake, as follows: $250, $125, $100,$30, $30 and five $10 pieces. CRICKET AT BERKELEY. The World Played 'foo Strong for the | Australians. i A great number of cricketers met at Klinknerville to witness the first of the three representative matches and a good game ended in the victory of the World team. Losing the toss they had to bat | first, sending in Theobald and Wise, but disaster soon oceurred, as Theobald Was | caught-off Robertson for three. Moriarty came in and the cricket became lively, but ‘Wise was soon bowled by Robertson—two for twelve. Hood joined Moriarty and a great change came over the game, both batsmen hitting in vigorous style and scored rapidly, Hood being the first to go after making 37 in his own inimitable style. Mutch was the only man who | could stay with Moriarty and after making 16 was neatly stumped. Nobody else could do anything against Sloman and Robertson, who were bowling splendidly. The innings closed for 117, oriarty making 48 not out—a very good | WATER POLD CHALLENGE | The John D. Spreckels Cup, Now Up, Is Open to All Comers. THE PROMISE OF A CONTEST. It Has Been Placed In the Hands of the California Swimming and Polo Club. A meeting of the California Swimming and Polo Club was held at the clubrooms, Lurline Baths, on Tuesday evening, the 28th inst., President F. W. Huntington in the chair. The chairman explained that the meet- ing had been called to consider the issuance of a challenge to the clubs of the State, the Spreckels challenge cup having been now placed in their hands to defend against all comers. Tne Californians did not take long to de- cide the question, and with a unanimous vote the secretary was instructed to issue a challenge to all comers. The challenge cup is now on exhibition at Shreve’s, and is an elegant piece of the silversmith’s art, being appropriately en- graved with a scene of a water polo game, sketched from life. Secretary Eppinger has sent the Cary [Sketched by a ““Call ™ artist.] riormance, marred only by two very] ard chances at the wicket. 3 The Australians on going to bat sent in Hogue on Randall to the bowling of Ward and Moran; Randall had soon to retire, being bowled by Ward. Hogue baned‘ well for his eight. being at the wickets} quite an hour.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 30.— Dirn-| berger to-day continued his wonderful | record-breaking feats, and rode two miles from a flying start in 3:51 4-5, breaking the former record of 3:543-5. He was paced the first two-thirds by a tandem mounted | by Cooper and Phillips, and the other | four-thirds by the great quad team. They made a beautiful pick-up right at the pace and carried him at a terrific pace to the finish, Dirnberger riding as if glued to the rear wheel and completed the distance feeling strong. The fractional time for the two miles were as follows: First third, 89 seconds; two-thirds of a mile, 1:19; one mile, 1:56; one and one-third miles, 2:34 3-5; one and two-third miles, 3:13; last third, :38 4-5. Barnett, a new addition to the Syracuse team, rode a wonderful unpaced mile in 2:07 1-5, tying the world’s record. He will make another attempt to-morrow and will | 5 undoabtedly beat 2:07. ——————— :Ridden in the Eain.

Make a list of the things you think yonought to take on your summer holiday trip and you will be startled at the result. You wonder it you will have to hire a special baggage-car. Now, strike out every article not imperatively necessary and you will find that a trunk of modest size will answer every purpose even of a long trip.

To remedy this evil, or what is etter to prevent it, the pilgrim takes a supply of that sound and wholésome stimulant, Duffy’s Malt Whiskey. A little of this whiskey in the water not merely kills the germs that would make mischief in the stomach and bowels, but it tends directly and strongly to revive & nervous system exhausted by long continued mental application, pressing anxiety or physical labor. Make room in your gripsack for a bottle of Duify’s Pure Malt Whiskey and use it when you are worn out with the heat—for there are fearful days even in the country. Reinvigorate your sluggish body with this prince of stimu- lants and in the sense of strength and welle being that follows you will be glad thac in making up your list of absolntely needful things you did not overlook Duffy's Malt ‘Whiskey.
