California is not to be behind the times as far as the horse-breeding industry is con- cerned. By -the steamship Alameda thatar- ived from the colonies Wednesday evening, re arrived & horse.that is bound to add er to California’s fame es a producer of &t thoroughbréds. The horse in question is Foul Shot, a son of Musket, sire of Car- bine, the greatest racehorse Australia ever pro- duced, consigned to the Merriwa stock farm of Messrs. H. B. Lopezat Pleasanton. Thehigh prices received for, and the fine showing made by tlre get of the dead Maxim imported to this conntry by.J. B: Haggin show how highly the-.blood of the great sire is prized in this country &nd the foresight of Messrs. Lopez as shown In securing this grand-looking represen- tative.of & grest sire. Carbine was recently chased by the Duke of Portland and now the “market: for & Musket horse. Foul Shot proved himself & great racehorse. winning smong other big events theé Great Northern Derby. Slander, dam of Foul Shot was prob y.one of New Zealand’s greatest racehorses shie having won during her racing career reces, and on being retired to stud proved & great producer. Foul Shot js the sire of the following good winners: Snapcap, Mafia, Cloud Shot, Secrecy, Fish-Oh, Nipapan, Stray Shot, Flying Shot, M hot, Pyroxylin, and, - Bombshell, Grapeshot, Retrench- ment, Aldershot and Docility. While young America downtown was | celebrating the glorious Fourth by setting off firecrackers and other explosives and doing their utmost to lose an eye or two or three fingers, a good-sized portion of their elder brothers wandered out to the Bay District :to’ try their fortunes on some of the maiiy long shots that were exploded out there. The turnstiles clicked merrily and by the time the first race was called the specnlative holiday crowd were out in fuoil force. The racing was decidedly mixed, out- siders predominating,.and it 1s safe to say the bookmakers more than made celebra- tion money. Of the six favorites sent to the post, two only were successful. The Elmwood stock celebrated Natal day by capturing three of the six events carded, Installator in particular distin- guisbing himself, exnibiting a_wonderful turn of speed in the race taken by him. The purses were no larger than on ordi- nary days, the $400 mile and a sixteenth handicap ranking as the feature of the day’s sport. Six very fair performers started, Commission, on his last good per- formance, having the call in the betting. He opened at 8 to 5, but the play on Flirtilla, Roma and Little Cripple was so strong that 2to 1 was offered against him going to the post. Thornhill and Del Norte were the outsiders. As in her previous races, Xxoma at once went to the front when the flag fell, main- taining & comfortable lead until the stretch for home was reached, when Thornhill and Del Norte, who had been trailing close behind, closed up on her. Thornhill in second position very soon had enough and gave way to Flirtilla, who now loome: up & most dangerous competitor of the Boots entry. In the final drive between the two fillies, Chevalier got Roma home a. head in front, completing the distance in 1:481. Del Norte, splendidly ridden by Hinrich, looked a possible winner at less than a furlong from home. but tired per- ceptibly from the draw-gate, finishing a good-third. The. opening-dash -at_five furlongs was simmered down in the betting to Bilver State, Rerio and Durango, the first named ranking favorite at. 7 to 5. backed down from 4 to 11to 5, and Du- rango was knocked down a couple of ints from his opening odds of 6 to 1. The favorite was away badly by reason of Chevalier pulling up, not thinking it to be a start. Durango went tothe front, and although Reno looked to have him beaten down the stretch, responded gamely to punishment and beat the big chestnut out anose. The favorite was a fast-coming third. g The two-year-old event, a half-mile dash for maident, marked the begmmng of the Elmwood stock farm’s success. Its colt, Tiberins, opened an even-money choice, but so forcibly did the different long shots in the race impress the crowd that hic rice receded to 2 to'1, finally closing at to 5. After getting away first at the start the favorite -was headed into the stretch by Charles Boots, the second choice, and Linda Vista filly, but drew away at the finish, winning by two lengths from his owner's namesake, Charlie Boots. Linda Vista filly was a fair third. 3 2 The ‘Boots stable continued its tri- umphant career in the following race, & five-and-a-half-furlong condition event, with its crack colt Installator, who was a decidedly warm 7 to 10 choice. Roya Flush, far from his old form, was installed gecond choice with threes about him, the bookmakers, judging by the odds quoted against Nelson tor the place, holding him in high esteem. : . The race proved a cake-walk for this re- marksbly fast youngster, who took the lead from the jump and won hands down from Nelson in_the fast time of 1:07)4. Road Runnet, a 60 to 1 shot, with C. Weber up, finishied a good third. The mile "and a half hurdle race was a ead fall “for de wise push what knows it all.” The Lark, with tof Y opened favorite at 2 to 1, fi)mg back in the betting ‘later to fiv anford at his maiden effort over the sticks was backed down from 10 to 3 to 1, but met disaster at the second hurdle, where he almost un- ¢eated hig rider, throwing him out of the race. Shortly before post time, the educated | money came in and Esperance was pounded down’ from three to 8 to 5 in short order. The 7to 1 outsider, Mestor, upset the cal- culations of the wiseacres by going to the front as the horses swung into the stretch the last time and winning easily by four lengths from The Lark, who beat Ksper- ance out half a length in a drive. The run he Dnkeé of Westminster hasa commission in Reno_was | top weight up, | was made in 2:494. Gold Dust, who was well supported, stumbled at the fifth jump, throwing his rider. With but three to oppose her in the last event, a five-furlong dash, supporters of Grace 8 dumped their coin'in on the grey mare at odds 4to5 and even money, finally sending her to the post7to 10. She was away poorly when Ferguson dropped the d'h" rushed into the lead almost im- mediately joined by Biue Bell. The fast clip they set toldson them, and Rico com- ing fast 4t the end was enabled to win by a long neck from Blue Bell, who beat the tiring favorite over a length for the place. Venus ran disappointingly. MULLHOLLAND. c1sco, July 2, 1895. selling: se $300. Str. Fin. 1ns 28 23 big 64 5f 31" 2 6% 7 Won driving. Time, 1:01 Duke of Norfork-May D. urango 5 to 1, Reno 11 to 5.

SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB, Thirteenth Annual Gathering and Games at Shell Mound Park. A MOST SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR. The Prizes Were Very Liberal and the Contests Were Keen and Exciting. The thirteenth annual gathering and games of the San Francisco Scottish This- tle Club, held at Shell Mound Park yester- day, proved a complete success in every way, excep the attendance. In past years the club has been fortunate in having an attendance in excess of its expectations, but there were too many counter attrac- tions yesterday, and the weather looked decidedly unpromising. There were forty-three events on the programme, and, with one exception, the ladies’ bicycle race, all were keenly con- tested. Contrary to expectation, no lady bicyclists entered, although the prizes of- fered were very liberal. Indeed, all the prizes were on the same footing. The leading events were the quarter mile race for amateurs, the mile race for emateurs, the tug-of-war, the men’s bicycle race and the Irish jig and reel contest. Each was closely contested and aroused the greatest excitement. Burns, who took the first prize in the bicycle race, had an easy thing of it, but there was a magnifi- cent struggle for second place. The &rish jig and reel contest delighted the spec- tators. The music was supplied on the Irish pipes by Timothy McCarthy, who is unsurpassed in_his manipulation of these instruments. Four couples participated and the way they tripped it on the boards drove the spectators wild with enthusiasm. The tug of-war, between eight married and eight single, men, was looked:forward to with the greatest interest, and to the surprise of most people, the married men bad it all their own way, winning two straight tugs. The first did not last more than fifteen seconds, but the second was stubbornly contested. In the sword dauce for lads and lassies, the judges had a hard task to decide be- tween Sybil Campbell and Elaine Telfor, but finally awarded the first prize to the former, but the positions were reversed in the sailor’s hornpipe. These two young ladies possess many medals, and no more graceful dancers can be seen anywhere. There were several unique events that tickled the spectators. Among them were the leap-frog race, sack hurdle-race, foot- ball dribbling contest, obstruction race and three-legged race. No records were broken 1n the athletic events, but some good distances were made, particularly in throwing the heavy hammer. The principal competitors in these events were Thomas Carroll, D. R. Campbell and A. Coutts. Some excitement was_caused during the married ladies’ race. Five ladies entered and Mrs. Baxter led from the start till within a few yards of the finish, when she fainted and fell in a heap. The games committee in the circumstances awarded her an extra prize. The success of the games was primarily due to Royal Chief James Niven, John Donaldson, starter and referee, and Alfred Miller, secretary, who, with the help of ex- Royal Chiefs George Miller, James R. Watson and Donald G. C. McKay, kept things going without a break and without a protest. Chieftain William Grant was in charge of the edibles and he took care that the guests of the club had their inner selves well supplied. . Dancing was kept up in_the two pavil- ions from morning till night, the floors being constantly filled with couples. J. F. Macdonald was the floor manager in the !owerémvilion and George Watson in the mound pavilion. Pipers J. E. Hill, Neil Lindsay, Donald Weir, Duncan Fraser and Elaine Telfor made the welkin ring with the skirl of the pipes. The official judges were R. F. Wilson, P. F. Keith and Alexander Sharp, and the ll ges of the different events James Scobie, J. Gimton, James Spiers, John M. Duncan, Andrew Forman, T. Frazer, John McLaren, W. Donald, William Nichol and J. Rattery. Among the guests of the club were Chief Hugh Fraser of Clan Frazer, the founder of the club; W. Nicol, president, and Y. C. Lawson, treasurer, of St. Andrew’s Society ; George Davidson, the first secreiary of St. Andrew’s Society; William Mitchell, fourth chieftain, Caledonian Club; ex- Chiefs P. G. McIntyre and T.

The fifth match was at twenty-five - blue- rocks, $1 50 entrance, and Webb took first money, $840, with 22; Andrus second, $6 30, with 21: Daniels and Stewart third, $420, with 20; and Schrieber, Billington, Robertson ard Baker divided §2 10, with 18 each, The following are the scores: Schreiber 18, Daniels 20, Levi 14, Fischer 15, Ingalls 14, Andrus 21, Anderson 17, Williams 16, Billington 12, Fanning 17, Stewart 20, Quinton 17, Webb 22, Robert- son 18, Baker 18. After this shoot a series of matches were shot for small amounts. . The day was dark, and a strong wind from the southeast made the shooting very difficult. This will account for the num- ber of misses made. On Sunday the California Wing Shooting Club shoots at Oakland racetrack at live birds and the Electric Club at bluerocks. John K. Orr has resigned the presidency of the San Franoisco Gun Club and F. R. Webster has been elected in his place. e e $5; SCHUESTER AND PAPE, Californians Who Show FEastern Men How to Shoot. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 4.—In spite of the heavy rain which prevailed at the Schutzen Park, L. I, to-day and which threw a gloomy shade over everything, that even the grand National salute of 119 guns failed to dispel, the hearts of the California shooters were gay and joyful, and the restaurant proprietor was also gladdened when he heard the sound of the champagne corks popping as the ’49ers opened bottle after bottle to help celebrate F. P. Schuester’s big score on the honor- ary tarzet Columbia and young A. H. Pape’s three red flap on the honorary tar- get Germania. On the Columbia, R. Barton of Bridge- port, Conn., made the highest score of the meeting (67) on Wednesday, but to-day about 9 A. M. Louis Flack of New Yor! eclipsed this with 70 (23, 24, 23), and New York stock went up in proportion. Their joy was nipped in the bud, however, when shortly before dinner Schuester made the splendid score of 71 (22, 25, 24). Pape's bullseyes on the Germania man was the record for the meetings, two bullseyes for several being the best up to to-day, and the cracks are again asking each other “what manner of man this boy wonderis.” Strecker’s score of 73 on the range is still the highest, while his score of 97 on the man, which ties his own record made at Milwaukee, is not likely to be upset. Pape has a score of 93 on the man. Schuester won a festival cup for 300 points on the point target, and this also carries with it the gold and silver medals for 25 and 150 points. Taken all together, the Western- ers have distingnished themselves might- ily thus far, and with four days before them will yet make the best of the Eastern champions look closely along their rifles before they take a sight. A REVIVAL OF ARCHERY. General Renewal of Interest in the Historical Pastime. TOXOPHILISTS UP IN ARMS. Very Strong Clubs Organized in Oakland, Mill Valley and Sausalito. After some years of desuetude the de- lightful pastime of archery is experiencing a revival of interest. Again the twang of the bowstring is heard under the green- wood tree and the thud dear to the archer’s heart that follows the piercing of the target. The most formidablerival that archery has had as an outdoor sport in which both sexes could compete on an equal plane is lawn tennis. Now there is a waning of interest among the tennis players, and archery is again comingto the front. Mr. Frank C. Havens has reorzanized the Bow Club, which will begin this month to practice on his beautiful range, Vernon Heights, Oakland. Mr, Rielly of the Pa- cific Archery Club has established a range at Mill Valley, and Dan O'Connell, the captain of the Merry Foresters, has selected a level hundred yards near Sausa- lito, where the foresters may bend their bow and aim to pierce the gold. Although archery has lain dormant for some years, those who drew the string to the ear in the past carefully putaway their bows in the confident expectancy of its second coming. Those whose ideas of modern archery are measured by the elastic stick they used when boys will find it difficult to understand the perfection of the implements used to-day. Italian and Spanish yew make the best self bow, that is, a bow which is in one piece. No wood can compare with yew for perfect elasticity and evenness of spring. But yew bows are very costly. A good one is valued at $100 and extra fine ones sell as high as $250 apiece. This sounds alarming, but at the same time very serviceable and zood bows can be purchasea at from $5 to $10. Good arrows are always expensive. The best London target-match arrows are set down here at $12 a dozen, and when it is consid- ered that- it is within the bounds of possi- bility to break balf a dozen at one match, one can understand that archery is nota cheap pastime. The ranges shot at in this new revival will be what is known as the American round, thirty, fifty and sixty vard. Veteran archers, when they talk about the York round, which means eixty, eighty and a bundred yards, shake their headsand look serious. For it is claimed that to the introduction of these long ranges the de- cline of archery in California is attributed. Those who have assisted in_its revival, foremost among whom is Mr. Havens, will have no York round shooting on his ground, A The literature of archery is voluminons. Tt admits of even more exaggeration than angling. The venerable and worthy Sir Walter Scott in his “‘Ivanhoe’” has made the archer Locksley perform a feat which is not short of, but altogether, miraculous, This marvelous bowman cleaves a wand with his arrow at a distance of 180 yards, which is about as easy to do as to knock a chip off the north star. In this country the Indian is credited with extraordinary skill with the bow, whereas it is a positive, though it may seem an incredible, fact that the wild man of the prairie will be easily vanquished by any holiday archer in good training. He does not possess the same tools—his bows have not the same casting power and his arrows are not as straight or as delicately feathered as those of the club bowmen. His hunting with the bow is done at close range. Mounted on his swift pony he ranges. or rather used to range, alongside the buffalo and sends an arrow into him at not more than %ten yards’ distance. In warfare their arrows were mostly shot at random and the question of marksman- ship did not arise. The relations between the coarse and clumsy bow_of the Indian and the springy and exquisite weapon of the civilized archer is as a thoroughbred dog beside a mongrel. The Indian bow is hard to pull and rough in the release. The English or American made bow is quick and smooth and will send an arrow with greater force than the barbarous weapon. One of the greatest advantages thatarch- ery possesses as an out-of-door pastime is thut it can be enjoyed by both sexes with equal chances for superiority. A good bow-woman who practices sedulously ean score quite as many golds as her male opponent. It is not a gnestion of strength, this perfection in archery, but of skill and calculation. It brings into play the most important faculties and the exercise of pulling the bow develops all the muscles in the body. The most accurate and best archer on the Pacific Coast is, unmistakably, Frank C. Havens of Oakland. His scores at the York and American rounds stand ahead of all others. TIsaac Allen, formerly of the Bank of California; Mr. Darneal, the shorthand reporter; Mr. Rielly, another member of the same profession; Frank ‘Ward, Albert Havens, Jahn Cadman, Dan O’Connell, Richard Bush and Mt. Strick- land are prominent 2among the best shots in California, and are those who are en- deavoring to restore this beautiful pastime to its old footing. CRICKET ACROSS THE BAY. The Pacifics Beat the Millwood Coun- try Club at Ml Valley Yesterday. The Pacific Cricket Club journeyed to Mill Valley yesterday to play the Millwood Country Club at its inaugural fete. Cap- tain Wiseman won the toss and sent in the home team. Casidy and Hill had charge of the attack, and so well did they bowl that the home team were all disposed of for 24 runs, Warnock being top score with 8. Casidy captured nine of the wickets for 6 runs, a magnificent performance. The wet drizzling rain which had been falling caused the adobe wicket to become s0 slippery that the Pacific batsmen could hardly get foothold, and it is not surpris- ing that eight of their wickets fell for 33, Casidy (not out 10) being the only one to get double figures. Sollum obtained five wickets for 7 runs and Sutcliffe three for 17, so that the bowlers had much the bet- ter of the deal. The Pacifics thus won an uncomfortable ame by 9 runs and two wickets to spare. gcoren: MILLWOOD COUNTRY CLUB. 3.Bmith c. Morse b. Casidy H. Warnock ¢. Wiseman b. Casidy W. Farrell b. Casidy.... J.

Then it was the custom of blushing damsels in service to make a courtesy of thankfulness when a guest of their emplover deigned to “chuck’ them under the chin, but there was no School Boara in those days, and servant girls were not aware they possessed rights—rights which they now know they kave and, knowing, dare maintain and even enlarge. The ‘“‘chuck-under-the-chin” epoch has gone, like the megatherium and the ich- thyosaurus, and Mr. Fieldheim was simply out of date in attempting to revive it. He was dining at the house of a friend in Chevstow-villas, Kensington, where Mary Ann Dolling was in service. After reflec- tion Mr. Isaac lighted his cigar and_asked the girl to bring him an ash-tray. She re- turned with the article, and the guest then slipped a shilling into her hand and tickled the rotundity of her chin with the tips of his fingers. Hence the summons.— London Telegraph. FRANCIS JOSEPH'S FOOT-WASHING The Curious Ceremony of Holy Week at Vienna. On Holy Thursday, at Vienna, the Em- veror Francis Joseph perfofmed the annual ceremony of washing the feet of twelve old beggars. The ceremony took place in the Hall of Ceremonies in the imperial palace. On a platform raised slightly above the floor was a long table with twelve covers, a |, plate, knife, wooden spoon, folded napkin for each, with a piece of bread, a pewter mug, and a little blue pitcher filled with water, says an exchange. At 10 o’clock twelve old men, the youngest 89 and the oldest 96, entered the hall and were supported, each by two relatives, to the piatform, which they mounted with diffi- culty, and were placed in their seats, their relatives, most of them women, standing behind them. Then entered twenty knights of the Teutonic order, headed by their master, Archduke Eugene, dressed in white with a long black cross on their long white cloaks. They marched around the hall, and then, forming a line on either side, made® way for the Ministers, with Count Kalnoky at the head, and the Em- eror’s staff. They were followed by the rimate of Austria, Cardinal Gruscha, with priests and acolytes bearing candles and burning incense. Then came the Em- peror, dressed in the white uniform of an Austrian general and wearing the order of the Golden Fleece. He advanced to the table and addressed a few words to the old men. At a signal from the master of ceremonies twelve guardsmen stepped forward, each bearing ona tray the first course of a sumptuous repast; the Em- peror now took off his helmet, gave it to an officer, and, passing down the line, ar- ranged the dishes before each guest. Twelve archdukes then approached and removed the Barmecide banquet from the guests’ eyes, handing the dishes to the guards. This was repeated for three courses, and with the last the plates, knives and other objects on the table were taken off. They were all packed later, with the food, in wooden boxes, and sent to the homes of the old men. The table was taken away, and the “washing of feet” begah. A priest ap- )\ronchcd with a towel and a golden basin ull of water; their slippers were taken from the old men’s feet, and the Emperor, on his knees, beginning with the oldest, moistened his feet with water and dried them with the towel. Without rising, still on his kness, he passed on to the next one, and so on to the end of the row. When he had finished he rose and placed around each man’s neck a chain, attached to which was a small white bag containing thirty pieces of silver. That ended the ceremony; the Emperor and his - suite withdrew, and the old men were taken home by their friends. ————— Eton, the most famous of British public schools, now has 1019 students.
