THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1895. SWIMMING AND DIVING, A Very Interesting Exhibition at the Sutro Baths Yes- terday. THE OCEAN BEACH CROWDED. Herr Scheel Led the Park Band—A Runaway Horse Lassoed in Time. The bulk of the people who were on pleasure bent yesterday seemed to select the ocean beach as a place of recreation, and the trains bound beyond Lands End were crowced until late in the afternoon. The trains south of the park were also crowded with people bound to the ocean side. The beach is lined with promenaders and here and there could be seen crowds of merry youngsters shoeless and stocking- less, boys with their pantaloons rolleda up above their knees, and girls holding up their clothes in their hands, all wadingin the surf. Those who tired of roaming on the ocean sands went into the Sutro Baths to witness the swimming exhibition given by members of the Pacific Swimming Club, assisted by members of the Olympic Club swimming annex and the Dolphin § ming and Boating Club. The exhibi was witnessed by at least 5000 people. There were diving contests, racing, burlesque boxing on a float, which the contestants, a decision of the referee, b into the water; also log and tub racing, high diving, relay racing and skiff and canoe races, but no time was taken as none of the races were for recorc Some por- tions of the programme were very amus- ing and the exhibition as a whole demon- strated that San Francisco has manv ex- cellent swimmers. Some of the swimmers who wore the uniform of the Dolphin Club wore the thinnest of thin swimming suits that were cut very close top and bot- tom and when damp clung tighter than the costumes worn by the bronze statues. The Dolphins for the e of decenc should in future exhibitions appear in | bathing dress that is not quite so clinging. An amusing number was a water-comet solo, “*Moonlight Sonate,” (Beethoven) by Mat'*Gay. The performer holding his mouth close to the water hummed the air and produced sounds that were similar to those of a new beginner on the cornet. The following is the programme that as presented Plain aiving by members of Dol w the Olympic, \in and Pacific Swimming clubs—Professor ..

The club-swinging and boxing between the bantams took place on the musicians’ platform. The boxing was in dead earnest and in the third round, Smith lost a little blood. The exhibition was under the di- rection of George 8. McCombs. There were many people in the park, but not so many as usual. In spite of all the trouble he has had Herr Scheel led the band. During the afternoon a horse in charge of Henry Peterson, broke away'from a cart near the children’s play-ground and made for the main drive. “He was going at alively gait when Mounted Officer J. H. Kavanagh skilfully threw his lariat over him and brought him ur with a round turn, an act which greatly enlivened the many on the drive and won for the officer much commendation. In his mad run the horse knocked down two children, but did not hurt either. A man driving down the speed-track miscalculated his distance, ran against one of the fence posts, was thrown out but escaped injury. RUNNING DOWN HARES. Some Exciting Contests Among the Crack Dogs Interest Crowds at the Coursing Parks. A large crowd gathered at Kerrigan’s coursing park yesterday to witness the eizhteen-dn:f stake under the auspices of the Oakland Coursing Club. Ed Canavan was in the saddle and W. D.

The Emmet Club Is Making Ready for Football and Athletics. The Emmet Football Club held a meet- ing at its clubrooms, and the secretary, T. J. Mylatte, having tendered his resigna- tion, Frank Creede was unanimously elected secretary. A communication was received from Captain Tobin of the Port Costa Club extending an invitation for a friendly contest to take place at their rounds at Benicia on the Fourth of _Julg £t Was referred to a committee and will be promptly acted on. Captain Tobin is load in the praise of the men of his club and is determined to give Captain Palmer and his imvincibles & hard tussle for supremacy, while Captain Palmer is more than san- guine of success, his club having been strengthened by the famous Tom Hughes of the old Emmets, who has just returned from Dublin, Ireland, after an absence of two years, bringing with him_ a brother who had no superior as a football player in his native isle. A The Emmets are busily engaged in an- swering communications from members of different clubs who will enter as competi- tors in the great list of games which will take place at their annual picnic at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, on Sunday, une 30. The games will constitute run- ning, jumping, pole vaulting, weight throwing, also a tug of war between the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles and Emmets for $100 a side. The Emmets will sport their Lnew uniforms in their contest with the Port Costa Club. CYCLING AUN TO NILES Annual Picnicof the California Associated Cycling Clubs. Flve Hundred Wheelmen Attended. No Acclidents to Mar the Sport. The annual joint run of the California Associated Cyling Clubs to Niles Canyon yesterday brought forth all the prominent club wheelmen from every city and town around the bay,™ and a conservative estimate placed the number at Niles at 500. Certainly there were more different makes of wheels, and more vari-colored sweaters with all sorts of emblems on them, than ever before assembled at any one place. The wheelmen from this City leit on the 9 a. . creek route boat and rode from the were joined by the Oakland riders. San Jose clubs rode direct to and as they had a shorter distance to traverse, and a wise captain who startea them early, they were the first at the park, and had dined before the main body arrived. Those San Jose- ans must have voracious appetites, or else the innkeeper failed to_gauge the supply of edibles wheelmen, for when the big party got there it was evident there would not be halt enoucgh to go around. But a hungry cyclist is the last man to despair in such a predicament, so those who could dined at Niles, and most of the others rode to Cen- terville, three miles away, where they were generously fed, whereupon they wheeled back to Niles again. After luncheon the riders all went up the canyon a short distance, where there is a swimming-pool, which soon looked The Niles, plunge. Half a thousand active wheelmen can make things pretty lively anywhere, and the woods re-echoed with their shouts and club cries. hor was made, and many a pretty little rac was indulged in going back between the members of the rival clubs. There were a few collisions, falls and in- jured wheels in_consequence, but nothing serious to mar the day’s pleasure. It was very warm and dusty, but excepting be- tween Haywards and Niles the roads were excellent, and every one seemed to enjoy the ride. The following clubs, members of the as- Acme Club Wheelmen, Bay City Wheel- men, California Cycling Club, Crescent Road Club, Garden City Cyclers, Imperial Cyeling Club, Olympic Club Wheelmen, Reliance Club Wheelmen, Royal Cycling Club, San Jose Road Clnb. All clubs not members of the association who_desired to attend were cordially in- vited, and the following availed themselves of the opportunity: Eintracht Cycling Club, Golden Gate Cycling Club, Liberty Cycling Club, National Road Club, Outing Road - Club, Pacific Cycling Club, Sunset Cycling Club, 8an Francisco Road Club. Captain John F. Burk of the Californias had charge of the run and was ably as- silsted by the captains of all the other clubs. During the afternoon Louis Deloy of the Imperial Cycling Ciub of S8an Francisco had a narrow escape from drowning. He was in swimming with a party of wheel- men, when he was taken with cramps and sank to the bottom. Supposing he was swimming under water no notice was at first paid to him, but when the true cause of his disappearance was realized, C. T. Dodge, captain of the Bay City Wheelmen, who was also in bathing, dived to the bot- tom and brought Deloy to the surface. With considerable difficulty he was brought to shore, where it took almost ten minutes to revive him. —————————— GOOD BALL AT VALLEJO. Olymwpics Defeat the Local Team by Two to One. ~ The Vallejo baseball nine was van- quished at Trulls Park yesterday. It had defeated the Olympics the Sunday previ- ous, and yesterday the Pacifics con- quered them. This was the first time the Vallejos and Pacifics haa played together, and it wasa good game, with a score of 2 to 1, it bein, necessary to play ten innings to settle it one way or the other. The time was re- markably short, being not quite two hours. Both Cooney and Iburg pitched splendia ball. The game was won for the Pacifics by the batting of Smith and Kiley in the last inning. Each made a two-base hit, letting the uckf man get home. A bril- liant double Eny by Kiley to Murphy then ruined the hopes of the Vallejos of tieing the score. Following is the score: A.B.

TESTED AT SCHUETZEN PARK. The New Powder Pronounced Worthless—Good Scores at Shell Mound. The sharpshooters of the National Guard are indignant. They object to Lieutenant- Colonel Howland of the Seventh Infantry being allowed to shoot off his score at Los Angeles while they have to go to Sacra- mento to win their bars and medals. They object to paying their own expenses, ana they make the same old protest against the cartridges supplied by Uncle Sam. Some of the best shots in San Fran- cisco said yesterday that the State scorer was welcome to mark them up ten misses, as they had no intention of competing if they had to shoot chells supplied by the State. In aletter to the CALLon the subject, Fred C. Muller said: In the interest of the sharpshootersof the National Guard of California I desire to call your attention to general order No. 9, issued at Sacramento in Mn{lm, It sets forth that all sharpshooters who have made a score of ninety or more will be “permitted” to finish their final string at Sacramento, and further that they will be also "Fermilled” 1o pay their ex- penses to the capital, as there is no available cash in the treasury to meet the necessary out- ay. Now, if the Government cannot pay our ex- enses, why not, in all reason and fairnes: ow us to shoot our final scores on tne range at which we competed during our semi- annual target practice and thus save us time and money? We are supposed to be in Sacra- mento on the 28th inst. and that is collection day and many of us can ill afford to leave our business. 1 see that one Lieutenant-Colonel Howland 1s to be allowed to shoot off his score on the Seventh Infantry range, and I'd e to know why we can’t have the same privilege. AH we want is a fair field and no favor, and may the best shot win. The ammunition we areto shoot with is not good, and that is another thing that will keep the sharpshooters away from Sacramento. At the semi-annual shoot which took place at Shell Mound last week only about 938 out of 600 men who were called showed upon account of the cartridges served out. Everybody got ten shells, and of course the bulk of them were not used. Eighteen of us secured ten rounds each of the stuff and went to Schuetzen Park to testit. The shells were filled in '91 and | 92 and are not good now. It is an utter iz- possibility to make an aceurate shot with them and the lead in the bullets ruins our guns. We don’t want to go to Sacramento and we won't use the Government ammunition. Among those who tested the Government shells at Schuetzen Park yesterday were { H. R. Brown, T. J. Carroll, Captain W. Elliott, T. C. Muller, T. B. Moulton, H. Robinson and M. Reilly. Before testin; | the State’s ammunition the two latter fire off a previously arranged match with the following result: Robinsor 545555545 4—47 Reilly. 4458555454546 Later in_the day they had another con- test with Uncle Sam’s shells which re- xulted as follows 434254343 2 34228442 With the Government powder H. R. Brown made 42 while his average is 47; Tom Carroll made 41 while his average is also 47 and the others were all in the same boat. ‘I am now trying to get the lead out of my gun,” said Brown, “and I can tell you this I have fired my last round of Government ammunition. They can have all the sharpshooting they want in Sacra- | mento, but I will not be a contestant.” | _*The cartridges are not good,” said T. J. Carroll. “They are old stock manufac- | tured in 1891 and 1592 and no marksman can do good work with them. The State pays 2 centsa shell for this truck and if they would allow us we would haye them reloaded here. The stuff is terrible on the guns and wears a shooter out. Why, I would sooner fire fifty of my own shells than five of Uncle Sam's.” “Judging by the samples I have used to- day, the Government_shells are bad; very bad,” saiid Captain Elliot, “and I for one am not going to risk my reputation as a marksman by attempting to shoot with them. I think we should be allowed to use the same shells we practiced with and that we should not be put to the expense of going to Sacramento.” | Captain F. B. Moulton said: “A sharp- shooter should be allowed to choose his own ammunition. Four-vear-old shells | that are the refuse of the East are not good and no man can make a good score with them.” | _The Stanley medal was contested for at Schuetzen Park and won by Private Jones with a score of 46 out of a possible 50. The other scores were: Robinson 44, Dawson 43, Boyen 43, Carrigan 43, A. Smith 42, J. Mulhearn 43, M. Reilly 42. Jacobs 40, Fallon 41, Vanderbilt 41, Buston :E)’ Stolph 41, F. Mulhearn 40 and J. Patcher The State shoot of Company D of the Fifth will take glace in Schuetzen Park Wednesday and Thursday next. AT SHELL MOUND, A Large Party of Marksmen Spend the Day Firing at Siebe’s Targets. A large throng of marksmen gathered at the Shell Mound range vesterday and, with a host of merrymakers who attended the picnic of the Scandinavian Society, the park had a very respectable red-letter day generally. The dancing hall and the race course vied in popularity with the rifle and revolver ranges, and there was an abund- ance of amusement for everybody who hap- pened to be there. The committee in charge of the park pic- nic_arrangements consisted of Chairman A. Hansen, Knute Lundstrum, H. Peter- sen, Charles Forsee, John Fosherg, Charles Armstrong, N.L. Sykes, Charles Ander- son, R. B. Nelson, A. C. Freese, A. Ander- son, Hans Gullixson, Alfred Johnson and M. P. Poulson. The monthly medal shoot of the Nord- deutscher Schuetzen Club was well at- tended and was fruitful of these target-hit- ting results: First class, J. Peters, 410 rings; second class, 0. Lemcke, 383 rings; third class, A. Hagedorn, 381. Mr. Hage- dorn has won this medal three times, and it has become his own property. The first best shot was 24 by E.Ipsen. The final best hit was made by A. Hagedorn and was a 2Z-nnl§. At Shell Mound also the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club was .conspicuously in evi- dence. Theabsence of Strecker and Young was noted. but there were numerous crack center-finders on the range. The shooting was with the pistol at fifty yards for the Blanding medal. Thisis a long term com- petition and the scores are recorded monthly. At yesterday’s affair J. E. Gor- man registered 94, 8. Carr 94, C. M. Daiss 93, A. A. Dorrell 92, L. O. Rodgers 89, Mrs. L. J. Crane scored 93 with a 22-caliber rifle.” This was for the medal offered the ladies’ auxiliary. With the rifle Dr. L. O. Rodgers scored 83 on the standard American target. This will be credited to him in the yearly competition for the Blnndinf medal. Company D of the First Infantry did a bit of shooting at the Berkeley range. 'he scores were as follows: Sergeant H. Smith 42, Private Harvey 42, Corporal A. aythorp 42, Sergeant G. Luce 40, Lieutenant W. Burdick 39, Lieutenant E. J. Blunkall 39, Corporal D.

JONES” COLORS LOWERED. Kilgallon and Harlow Defeat the Australian Hand- ball Champion. John Tiedman; Return Match Arranged far Next Sunday for Two Hundred Dol- lars a Side. Denver and San Krancisco met Australia in the San Francisco Handball Court yes- terday afternoon, and after a brilliant struggle for supremacy Australia had to take a back seat. In other words, M. J. Kilgallon, champion of Denver, and J. Harlow, the coast champion, defeated J. Jones, the Australian champion, in a match, the best five games, for $100 a side. The match attracted an immense crowd, Every seat in the gallery was filled, and | standing room was at a premium. It was the first time that Jones and Kilgallon had played against each other, and the event naturally aroused the liveliest interest among handball players. Betting was 2 to 1 against Jones. Harlow and Kilgallon started off by winning the first game in short order by a score of 21—6. They won the next by 21—14 to the intense surprise of Jones' friends, and an intermission of 10 minutes was taken. In the third game Harlow and Kilgallon scored i7 aces to Jones 2, and it looked as if they would win in three straight. Jones began to toss in his old form and amid the greatest excitement won the game. The excitement was kept up in the fourth game by Jones again winning, and his friends became hopefl. He had, however, overtaxed his strength and his legs gave out. The result was that Harlow and Kilgallon won the final and the match. It was acknowledged by all that a pret- tier exhibition of handball had not been seen in this City. Kilgallon’s play was greatly admired and Harlow played a grand game. Jones showed the lack of training, but some of his brilliant efforts, particularly in the rallies, were loudly ap- plandea. Immediately after the match Ben Chap- man, a well-known sporting man_from Australia and an ardent admirer of Jones, posted a forfeit of $25to back Jones against the same team, the match to take place next Sunday for §200 a side. Kilgallon prompily covered the deposit, As Jones ays his defeat to his poor condition he will go into active training and promises to be in first-class condition next Sunday. The principal event at the Union court was a game between John Riordan and R. Lenihan and J. Feeney and Al Pennoyer, the two former winning by three games to two after an exciting contest. Another interesting game was between Terry Me- Manus, heavy-weight champion, and Frank Curran and Frank Reynolds, cham- ion of Benicia, and D. Tobin, the two ormer winning. At the Occidental court the attraction was a game between John Purcell and P. F. Mcéormlck_ngninst Ed Maloney and C. J. McGlynn, "from enthusiasts. It was anybody’s game from start to finish, but Purcell”’ and McCormick came out of the struggle victorious. On Wednesday night John Riordan and John Purcell will play R, Lenihan and M. J. Kilgalion, and the reliminary game will be between V. C. E‘obin and C.J. McGlynn against Walter Jehn and G. Goggin. Following were the games played at the different courts: san Francisco court—D.

Quick Sailing Time Between This Port ' und Honolulu, Late reports from Honolulu tell of an interesting race between two American ships from San Francisco. Both ships went to Honolulu to load with sugar for New York, but as there was only sugar enough for one cargo, which was to go to the first arrival, the race developed into a clearly defined business proposition. Not to win the race meant a ‘gay off” in Hono- ‘lulu for something over a month. The Tillie E. Starbuck left here on May 23'and the Manuel Llnq}nu about thirty- six_hours later. The Tillie E. Starbuck arrived at Honolulu on June 4, making the trip in eleven days and sixteen hours, beat- ing the Manuel Llaguna by exactly four hours, the time of the latter being eleven days and twenty hours, TRAVEL MISMANAGEMENT, Overloading and Bad Loading as the Rule in the Pacific Mail Company. HOW CABIN PASSENGERS FARE. Lumber and Coal-Oll Laden Boats That Roll Dangerously In Calm Seas. Reckless overloading and dangerous bad loading of the Pacific Mail steamers proves not to be the exception, butthe rule, and almost everybody, except the company’s officials, who have been fortu- nate to escape disaster on those vessels, appear to have testimony not agreeable to Mr. Huntington and Mr. Scherwin. Dr. L. R. Wagoner, a dentist of Seattle, who arrived on the City of Sydney Saturday, sailed from San Francisco for Central America on the San Juan last February. He said: The San Juan was so crowded with freight and so topheavy that she rolled from side to side even in the mildestsea. She also had & bad list to one side. Abaft of the houses is large space extending to the stern and that was packed with lumber five or six feet high. The lumber extended well along the railing of the ship, leaving only small passage-ways next to the deckhouses on gach side. Woen the Iumber gave out they iled 500 cases of coal oil along the rails well orward of the nouses. The forecastle of the vessel was filled with en assorted cargo of freight, among which were several heavy pieces of machinery. There we were, thirty cabin and_sixty steer- age passengers, With only s few feet around and between those deck-houses for exercise. In clear weather we roosted in the lumber yard, and when it was stormy we kept away from'those piles of boards. They were secured with bits of small rope, so frail that the officers were constantly warning us to kee¥ out of the ussages when the ship rolled. If anything ike & gale had struck usduring that February that lumber and that combustible oil would have made the vessel our death-trap. Our trip up on the City of Sydney was not so dangerous, but far more unpleasant than our experience on the San Juan. From the day we set foot aboard till we landed we were miser- able. The passenger accommodations are wretched. The cabin fares but little better than the steerage in some respects. I cannot understand why they set such shabby tables when food is not high on the coast. Good beef can be s red at reasonable figures, yet on the Sydney vummiz up they brought aboard an old steer whose horns were ringed with many years, and_that leathery beef we ate all the wey up. Fruitand vege- tables are given very sparingly. Wine never appears on the cabin table unléss you pay for it three times as much as it would cost on hore either in California or Spanish America. When you remember the great number of wine- drinking people who travel in those boats, and who would never eat without their favorite beverage, you may understand what s good re- tail Jiquor business the Pacific Mail does. One would think coffee on a Central Ameri- can coast steamer, psssing, s it does, in sight of the groves of Costa Rica, would be the best always, yet the stuff they gave us to drink on the Sydney was atrocious. . Where the purser There is only one solution everal months ago a large the Sydney’s eoffee cargo was flooded part o with water by the neglect of the engineers and the company had to pay for the rotten berries, Itis firmly believed by all who have drank of the bitter cup in the Sydney’s saioon that the Pacific Mail turned that damaged cargoto a good account. An amusing thing in connection with our fare troubles on the steamer occurred every meal. While we were trying to make a_mesl out of the poor menu before us we would hear the big negro steward and his waiters calling out_loudly to the cook, “Beefstake fur de cap'in!” “po’kchop fur de purser!” “hemaigs fur de doktuh!” Despite our irritation the ingeniousness of this plan of Hosling the cook on the order was amusing, and never failed to meke uslaugh. However, it was more satis- faction to learn that the stewartand butcher were both' detected at San Blas selling provis- ions to an Indian and discharged. Even the water is bad and hardly fit todrink. One of the watering places.is at Acapulco, and the reservoir is a fithy place, and, as the American Consul told me, full of micro-organisms. The staterooms are neglected and soiled linen is permitted to lie around in_the saloons and passageways all morning. I took special no- tice in the matter of washing stateroom towels and I found that the same soapy water was used four days in succession, and consequently the towels were not only untidy, but had a disagreeable odor. SiX of us first-class cabin pastengers slept in one room with not enough spaceout of the berths to dress in. There was an_ill-smelling stationary washstapd in one corner and & water-closet above our heads. The bea cloth- ing was not clean and the narrow strip of car- peton the deck was heavy with dirt, and to capit all the small glass dead-lights in the side of the ship were kept closed. 1 tell you the Pacitic Mail is rapidy'gainin the hatred of the people on_the Mexican and Central American Coast. The officials of the company know that the inhabitants of the Pacific ports are at their mercy and have no relief. Passengers and shippers are put to all the inconveniences possible at the agent’s office and on boerd the steamer. Whata blessing a new freight and passenger service would be to those people. Coming up I talked with the three Colima survivors and they freely stated that the steamer was badly loaded and top- heavy. That is the opinion all along the coast. One strange thing is the way the steamers have of leaving port. No matter when they come in; no matter when_they finish loading and unloading, they will lie quietly at anchor till 1ate at night, even far after midnigat. Why do they desire to go out of harbor at such un- reasonable hours? They will lie for two or three days in a little port perfectly idle in the burning heat. When out at sea we would geta little air. 1 will return to Salvador in October, but will £0to New Orieans and by steamer fo Guate- mala. Times are good in Central America now. Free silver is making everybody prosperous. I went down there a gold believer and return a silver man forever. WITH THE LOCAL OARSMEN The Crews for the Stockton Fourth of July Races Selected. The Dolphin Club’s New Boathouse. A Pleasure Party’s Outing at San Jose. Large numbers of oarsmen assembled at Long Bridge yesterday and many took exer- cising spins on the bay in order to be in trim for the coming races on the 4th of July. The crews for the Stockton regattas on that day have been selected as follows: Ariels, junior—W. Pembroke, bow and cap- tain; H. B. Kennerson, forward waist. Robert E1lis, after waist; William Howe, stroke, and A. Wilson, coxswain. Seniors—John Larkey, bow and captain; James Wilson, forward waist, George Bates, after waist; Henry Tunk, stroke, and A. Carrol, coxswain. Pioneers, junior—Fred Michels, bow and cap- tain; T. J. 'O’Neil, forward waist; C.S. Oaks, after waist; Daniel Fitzsimmons, stroke, and Doe Flynn, coxswain, Fred Oir, bow and captain; J. Cl ford, forward J. Shields, after waisi George Callopy, stroke, and Doc Flynn, cox- swain. South Ends, junior—W. Daly, bow and cap- tain; Edward ning, forward waist; Edward , after waist, A. Feak, stroke, and George McGill, coxswain. Seniors—Henry Bode, bow and captain, Robert McArthur, forward waist; Gus Carson, after waist; Frank Duplissen, stroke, and George McGrill, coxswain. Acmes, junior—James Kenna, bow and cap- tain; Frank Simpson, forward waist; Clarence Staples, after walst; J. W. Bird, stroke, and Fritz Denke, coxswain. Theamateur single scullers are Henry Witt- kopp and J. W. McCausland of the Ariels, Frank Duplissen of the South Ends, Jack Caughlin of the Dolphins, and Butler of the Stockton Club. The professionals are Henry Peterson, Charles Long, John Dunphy, William Growney and Jack Cavannaugh, Gus Grant, the secretary of the Stockton club, will arrive in town to-day and com- plete arrangements for the regatta. 3 Owing to the removal of the boathouse, which will occur within a week, the Dol phins will not be represented in the Stock- ton races except in the amateur single- scull, in which J. Caughlin is entered. cial meeting will be held this week by the members of this club to consider ways and means of removing their boathouse, which when located in its new position ill be entirelv remodeled. Another story will be built on the present structure,which ;Vill be enlarged to cover an area of 40x50 eet. The second story will have a veranda ex- tending three-quarters of the way round, and will be devoted to meeting-rooms and a library. When everything is in readi- ness a house-warmer will be given. The South Ends sent their senior and junior crews out for spins in the morning, as did the Ariels and Pioneers. At North Beach the Dolphins, in their barge John Wieland, took a row out as far as Harbor View. The Ariels will add a new training barge to their already well equipped boathouse. This club is going to make a strong bid for share of the victories this season. The senior and junior crews of the Pioneer Boat Club took a party of friends down the bay yesterday to San Mateo County, where lunch was spread. Several hours were spent listening to vocal and instrumental music an recitations. Among those who rendered selections were Miss Anneta Stuhr, the Misses Shields, Miss Rose Gallopy and J. G. McCormick. The following young ladies and gentlemen attended : Miss Julia Shields, Miss Anna Stuhr, Miss Hatty Callopy, Miss Lyla Hadler, Miss Sarah Shields, Miss. Mamie ~Ledahan, Miss lie Smith, A. Fredrickson, D. Callopy, G. J. Mec- Cormick, W. St. John, J. G. Haggerty and J. F. Hotler. The party returned to the boathouse about sundown THE NEW MILITARY RIFLE Experiments at Angel Island With the Krag-Jorgen- sen Gun. It Appears to Be a Most Ingenlous and Effective Weapon of Modern Warfare. Although it is some time since the Krag- Jorgensen rifle was adopted as the weapon of the United States army, it is only with- in the last few weeks that the troops on this coast have been furnished with that peculiar and most effective gun. At Angel Island the soldiers have been vracticing during the week with the Krag-Jorgensen. It is, ir all respects, a most singular rifle. The caliber is 30 and 412 grains is the weight of the cartridge. The powder used is smokeless and the shell is a combination of copper, nickel and steel, and something over four inches long. The pull is what is technically known as a light and creeping trigger, and when the release point is reaciied would be four pounds. The gun has a magazine carrying five shells, but can also be used as a single- loader. The explosion is accomplished by a needle falling on the shell, and this ab- sence of the projecting hammer may lead to a complete change in the manual of arms. The support and carry need the projection of the hammer, as does the pre- sent, to be properly executed. Therefore some substitutions in the positions will be necessary. The penetration of the piece in remarka- ble. The result of experiments made at Angel Island showed that the bullet fired at fifty paces would pass through thirty- seven pine boards one inch apart, and would Ymry itself sixteen inches in sea- soned oak.” The velocity is about 2000 feet at the muzzle or fifty feet therefrom. The recoil is about seven pounds. The gun will shoot point blank at 400 yards, and is sighted up to 3000 yards. which puts the man benind it in the pre- dicament of guessing whether the object at that distance is a cow or a cavalryman. With the Krag-Jorgensen the new bayonet nas been sefved out, which is nothing more than a refined shovel or intrenching knife. The expert marksmen find one fault in the new weapon, and that is it casts decidedly to the left. . But the object of advanced military warfare is accomvlished in this rifle. Soldiers hold that to disable a man is much better than to kill him outright. The bullet from the Krag-Jorgensen, fired at a cadaver, has passed clear through flesh and bone. In battle when a wounded man drops two of his uninjured comrades will pack him off to the rear. Therefore a successful shot virtually removes three of the enemy. Should the bullet penetrate another man six are disposed of—unless, indeed, the officer in command insists upon the wounded taking their chances until the skirmish is decided one way or the other. The bayonet is a marked improvement on the old weapon. As an entrenching weapon it is invaluable, and every man can dig his own hole in a short space. To resist a charge of cavalry it is as potent as the old three-cornered affair, if such a thing as a body of horsemen rushing up against a phalanx of men armed with repeating rifles could be imagined. The soldiers take kindly to the novel rifle, which, although so effective and in- genious, can be taken apart and put together without the assistance of an armorer. Brown Bess, with which England won her battles, would laugh in her old- fashioned bonnet at this light, simple but deadly weapon of modern warfare. OLYMPIC TENNIS PLAY. Second Quarterly Tournament Held Yes. terday at the Club Grounds, Near Strawberry Hill. The second guarterly tennis tournament among members of the Olympic Athletic Club was held yesterday at the club grounds. The tournament occupied the entire day, and as several ladies were in at- tendance the courts presented a lively ap- pearance. Not so many players were pres- ent as have formerly contested in these events, but there was much good sharp play and some exciting rallies at critical points in the games. Consolation prizes had been offered for those not skillful or lucky enough to se- cure either first or second place in the tournament, and as a result the courts were not deserted until late in the after- noon. The winners were: Tournament prizes— Smith O’Brien first, W. P. Humphreys sec- ond; consolation prizes—C. Bliven first, T. Kennedy second. The winning of the first tournament prize carries with it the trophy which remains in the victor’s possession until won at a succeeding tournament by another. To become the gerscnul prop- erty of a player it must be won by him three times. - One of the new rifles used by the Italian soldiers sends a ball with force enough to 50 through five inches of solid oak at a listance of 4000 feet.
