Royal Cycling Club—To Park. ‘Will Knippenberg of the Bay City Wheel- men, who has just returned from the East, says that all the riders on the National circuit were eager for information about California, and that with few exceptions all the big teams will be out here this fall. | Bald, Macdonald, Ziegler, Coulter, Wells | and Terrill have done a great deal of mis- sionary work for the circuit on this coast, | and it is now definitely announced that the | Syracuse, Columbia, Morgan and Wright, | Falcon, Spalding and Sterling teams will winter here. Bald is loud in his praises of ! the treatment he received while here, and says he knows the training he got here in the spring is largely accountable for his remarkable success this season. Coulter voices the same sentiment. Wells and Ter- | rill have become very popular with the | circuit-chasers. They soon nicknamed | Wells “big legs” and Terrill “blondie,” | and it is generally admitted that the Syra- | cuse-bay City team of Wells, Terrill, Lacey | and McCrea is one of the strongest racing | aggregations that could possibly be brought | together. ] . G. Lacey, the Southern California | flier, arrived here from Los Angeles Thurs- day and Emil Ulbricht and Horace Slater | arrived last night. They come to train | for the races at S8an Jose on September 9 | and will ride for the Bay City Wheelmen. ! They will ride at Petaluma to-day, but | after their long trip they do not expect to show up very well. Itisreported that Sacramento and Stock- | ton have given up their dates on the local | racing circuit, as they have no confidence | in it. To-dav’s meet at Petaluma will| probably be a success, as the Fair Associ- atloxn is_behind it. The Garden City | Cye | San ers have come forward and strenu- | ously object to the promoters of the cir- cuit taking the credit for their meet at San | Jose on September 9. They claim, and rightly, too, that for years past they have held a meet on Admission_ day, and pro- pose to do =0 this year, and that as they are doing all the work and taking the re- sponsibility they propose to have the | credit for it. The circuit promoters have nothing whatever to do with their meet and the Garden City Cyclers want every- | body to know it, as they are too old hands at holding race meets to require any out- side advice or assistance. The B. L. 0. Club, an offshoot of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, held a banguet | last Wednesday evening at a local rotis- | serie, at which covers were laid for fifteen. | The prizes won by the members at_their recent road race were distributed during | the evening. Wilbur Knapp of the Bay Citys was in good humor, and kept every one laughing by his merry jests. The | hour was early when the jolly gathering | dispersed. Judge Kerrigan entertained some of his friends by a theater party at the Orpheam Wednesday evening. ilis guoests were James Boyce Jr., K. Ross Lozier, W. H. Toepke, David Marshall, H. W. Spalding, Eugene St. Germain, William Schwartz- kopf and Frank W. Pierson. After the theater they all enjoyed & Spanish supper. The Outing Road Club will go to San Leandro to-morrow to_assist the Alameda Cyclers with their five-mile road race. They will take the 8:45 narrow-gauge boat to Alameda. President G.

The Liberty Club had a five-mile road race on the cards for to-morrow, but as the members are not all in condition, it has been postponed to September 15, and they | will ride to Tocaloma instead. The picture presented with this article 1 is of Miss Clotilde and Master CGeorge Devany, children of Lawrence Devany, proprietor of the cyclery on Stanyan street.

There are six- | teen entries and a liberal prize list for time CLOTHILDE AND GEORGE DEVANY, THE SMALLEST TANDEM TEAM IN THE WORLD. will have a run to Centerville to-morrow. Messrs, Marriott and Parke will leave next week on a trip 1o Lake Tahoe awheel. The Pheenix Cycling Club is the name of the latest wheeling organization in this City, and the membership-roll is open to both ladies and gentlemen. Charles A. Lenahan is the acting secretary, and the present meeting-place is at the cyclery corner of Golden Gate avenue and Leaven- worth street. An Indiana genius has invented a “child’s seat,’” which is thus described: “From the axle of the front wheel two vertical braces run up about an inch above the tire, where they are joined by a pe pendicular bar coming from the front up- right of the machine. The seat—any kind may be used—is bolted to this crossbar, which extends two inches past the braces and turns up. those on a big wheel are here put on, to be clutched by the child on the seat. A stiff wire running up from the handle-bars and curving out supports a sunshade.” Any man who wouhfatuch a thing like that to a bicycle and carry a child on it ought to be prosecuted for cruelty to children. Bi- cycles are not built for carrying children on the front handle-bars, and the cyclist | who attempts it exhibits defective juag- ment and a reckless disregard of the value of human life. A bicycle thus freighted cannot be managed, and sooner or later serious accident follows. A new cycling club has been organized at Red Bluff with the following officers: H. C. Swain, president; Frank Hendricks, vice-president; Charles Hughes, secretary- treasurer; E. D. Gardner, captain; F. C. Cadwalader, first lieutenant; Robert Nor- vell, second lieutenant. Thereare twenty- four charter members. The racing board has issued its bulletin (No. 18), dated August 22, as follows: SANCTIONS GRANTED. August 24—Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Society, Petaluma. August 26—Crescent Wheelmen, Dixon, o August ‘28—Woodland Cycling 'Club, Wood- and. September 7—Coronado Track Association, San Diego. 4 Sxeplem per 7—Cream City Cyeling Club, Fern- ale. September 18—Orange County Wheelmen. Santa Ana. Declared professionals under clause A of amateur rule: Ben H. Barnes, Healdsburg; J. 1. Dresser and C. 8. Smith, Paso Robles. Suspensions of Jacob Hirsch, J. Tremoureux, Willlam Budle, W. A. Hubert, J. Fry nett, B.J. Millney, M. L. Perkins and J. Eikus, o Sacramento, for competing in unsanctioned races, terminated at request of L. 8. Upson of the division racing board. The attention of race promoters is directed to clause 4 of general rule G. Programmes must contain the notice therein proyided, and they must further show the city and State ad- dress of each rider, the prizes for each event and the value of each prize. Further sanctions will be refused to promoters failing to comply with these requirements. R. M. WELCH, Representative National Racing Board. A_new cycling club has been organized at Woodland with the following officers: A. E. Bocks, president; E. B. Hayward, vice-president; E. T. Lampton, secretary- treasurer; Charles Mossmayer, captain; Harry Adams and R. J. McDonald, lieu- tenants. The:other members are: Fred Handle-bars similar to | and place. Jesse Ives, an old-time racing man, is on the scratch mark. The ladies of the Alpha Cycling Club, escorted by the members of the California Cycling Club, will ride to Warm Springs to-morrow, leaving on the 8 A. M. boat. A | second division of the Californias with | scorching proclivities will leave haif an | hour later, but the ladies don’t think they will overtake them. Still, the pace will be easy, and as the roads are in splendid con- dition the ride should be very enjoyable. On Saturday, August 31, a road race will be held over the San Leandro course, the distance to be either five or ten miles, open to members of the Acme and Reliance | clubs of Oakland, the Crescents of Berke- 1 ley and the Diamond Cyclers. There will | be six valuable place prizes and two time | prizes, ail donated by Mr. Chaloner of aywards, who is promoting the affair. After the race the riders will Ee treated to | a barbecue, and a wheelmen’s ball in the | evening wili conclude the entertainment. | The four Alameda County clubs named are | very much iuterested in the race, and the | riders are now training for it.

Revival of Interest In the Sport at Bakersfield. The Bakersfield Athletic Club, that has experienced many ups and downs under various managers, has again been revived by sport-loving residents of the town and placed on a sound financial basis. At a recent meeting Frank Graham was elected president and Judge Fox secretary. Tom Barry, the old-time pugilist, has been chosen as instructor and manager. A match between Charles Todd of New York and Harry Laurd of England has been arranged to take place this evening for a purse of $250. A match between Charles Hackett of the English colony of Bakersfield and Professor Barry is on the tapis. Joe Choynski, the game and clever Cali- fornia boxer, may add a few South African scalps to those already dangling at his belt if the plans of Parson f) es and Tom O’Rourke do not miscarry. The latter recently divulged a plan which he and Davies have con to lead a squad of hard-hitting fighters into the Cape country. He will take George Dixon, Walcott and Elms in his string, while Davies will have Choynski, Jimmy Barry and Bob Armstrong.” Reports are that boxing is the rage in the South Afri- can country, to fight for their money the two astute ‘managers should make money handily, es- pecially as the Cape country people are said to be game sports. _Billy Gallagher, the middle-weight pu- g list, who is to fight Charlie Turner of tockton at the Colma Club, has arrived, and as the club managers are satisfied that he is in fair condition the battle will come off according to schedule. Gallagher says that he has been training for several months in anticipation of get- ting a match in the Bast, and needs buta few days of exercise to limber up his mus- cles to be ready for his dark-skinned oppo- nent. He has gone to Sausalito with George Green to finish his preparation. Sopegr o THE GUN. Sea Experiences of a Party of Local Sportsmen. One of the largest bucks that has been brought into Ban Francisco since the deer season opened fell to the rifle of Fred Raabe in a secluded valley in Sonoma County on Sunday morning last. The deer—a very patriarch of the for- est—weighed 146 pounds dressed, and fur- nished succulent steaks and roasts fora large number of Mr. Raabe’s friends, who are hoping that he will go bunting again | soon. Deer are reported plentiful about the forks of the Navarro River in Mendocino County, though difficulty isexperienced in etting them on account of the thick §msh. A party of San Francisco sports- Los Angeles forashort stay, and before their return will visit the Catalina Islands for a try at yellowtail and barracouta, which are regomd to be running in the waters about the islands in large numbers. Reports of sport from interior creeks continue to be favorable, and it is antici- pated that the next three weeks will see the larger of them at their best. bl HANDBALL. A Match Arranged Between M. J. Kilgallon and T. F. Bonnet. The friends of J. Jones, the Australian champion, and handball players gener- erally, are anxiously waiting for news of the match between champions Lawlor and Fitzgerald, which will practically decide the world’s championship. As soonasthe winner is known, Jones will send him a challenge to play a series of games for $250 a side and the championship. The hope is expressed here that Lawlor will be the winner, as in that event there is every probability that the match with Jones would be played here, Lawlor having fre- quently expressed a desire to visit the Pa- cific Coast. According to arrangements the first rub was to be played in Cork, Ireland, on August 15, and the final rubon August 20, so that the result would likely be cabled to the New York papers and published the following day. In that case it will not be. known here until the arrival of the New York papers in the beginnin, of next week., Should Lawlor win an make his desired trip to the coast the A PATRIARCH OF CATALINA ISLANDS. men who recently returned from that sec- tion bagged six bucks in four days. Phil Bekeart, one of the party of local sportsmen that Las been spending a couple or\\'eeks on the Van Duzen River, Hum- ‘boldt County, returned on Thursday, and reports the remainder of the party in good health and enjoying great sport. 5 Trout ranging from six to fourteen inches in length were taken in such large num- bers that the campers did not know what to do with them, and on the day previous | to Mr. Bekeart's departure four bucks were brought into camp. A curious story leaked out on Mr. Bekeart’s return, which the rest of the party for obvious reasons wished to keep secret. The sportsmen went to Eureka by steamer, and on the day the vessel sailed the wind was blowing quite a gale. Some of the hunters castanxious glances at the tumultuous waves as the steamer neared the Gate, but were assured by Mer- ton C. Allen, the scribe of the mighty voice and ambrosial locks, who declared courage and a settled conviction that sea- sickness is but 3 myth all that was neces- sury to keep mal de mer at bay. This pre- scription, he said, was what nlwu{'s kept him from being seasick. His tunechanged, however, by the time the steamer was well outside the heads, and he was the first to turn pale about the mouth, swallow hard and then dive for bis stateroom. The others all followed suit, except Ed Bosqui, who never missed a meal and spent the time between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner in telling his woebegone companions what a glorious thing it was to live upon the bounding main ahd dilat- ing upon the delights of salt pork and corn beef and cabbage, which he declared he could eat seven days in the week. Those who were strong enough to resent the torture threw hoots and other movable articles at him, while tnose who were not simply lay still and groaned. Before the vessel made her destination all except Bosqui had taken a solemn oath to come home%y land if the trip consumed three months, and to forever live out of sight and sound of the sea. 2 Later, a thought of the joshing that would be theirs should they return over- land caused them to conditionally change their determination. Communication with the man who has charge of the coast storms and weather generally was established by wire and he was prevailed upon to send daily bulletins of the movements of all storms found within 1000 miies of the California coast. ‘Were any discovered headed in this di- rection the boys determined to brave pub- lic Jaughter, and return by stage and rail. Thus far the weather sharp thinks the chances are in favor of another steamer trip. | The tournament at the Empire Gun Club | rounds, Alameda Point, to-morrow proni- Ses to be an interesting affair from the | fact that the crack teams of the Empire, Eiectric and Lincoln Clubs will compete in a team shoot for a_trophy. The rivairy between these clubs has been very keen of late, and the ten best men of each organi- zation will be chosen to do the honors. By the death of H. W. Woodward the | Country Club and fraternity of sportsmen | in general have lost a shining light, and the fish and game interests of the coast a valued friend. Mr. Woodward was one of “he charter members of the Country Club and a true type of.the gentleman sports- man, and his loss will be keenly felt by his brother clubmen when another season brings them together about the clubhouse hearth to tell stories of the chase and of good fellowship in the forests and along the streams. The depleted supply of guail on the Tamalpias Club preserve in Marin County is to be augmented soon by an importation of 200 dozen of the fi_amy ittle birds from Lower California. These birds from Mexi- can soil areidentical with the California valley quail and cafi be imported safely and cheaplz. Reports have recently reached the Fish and Game Commissioners that young ducks, generally designated as flappers, are being slaughtered on the marshes of the upper SBacramento by vandals m Colusa and other towns, who kill hundreds of them before they are able to rise above he surface of the punds where they take their first lessons in the water. Several deputies are now looking after this matter, but seem to be unable to catch the violaters of the law. —_—————— THE ANGLER. Santa Clara County Streams Belng Restocked With Trout. Adobe, Permenente, Stevens, Almaden, Coyote and Uvas creeks in Santa Clara County will be restocked within a few days with 50,000 young brook trout which the Fish Commissioners have sent to Game Warden McKenzie. Within ten days another consignment of the same size will be distributed in other streams of the same oouay. Toddy Lunstedt and wife have gone to match with Jones would give handball a boom that it is much in need of. Arrangements were completed last Wednesday evening for the Kilgallon- Bonnet match. They will play a series of nine games, tossing from the short line, and the first rub will take place at the Oc- cidental court next Wednesday evening. ‘There will be no money consideration on the match, as Bonnet is an amateur, but there is just as much interest taken in it as1f it were for coin. The style of the men ‘W. McManus, Proprietor of the Union Court. differs widely. The Denverite depends almost solely on killing the ball with his terrific right, and in this respect he has probably no superior on the ceast. Bon- net, on the other hand, plays a game some- what on the Jones pian. e covers a greater amount of territory than Kilgallon, and has two good haunds, having what is known in handball circlesasa “pretty left.” In the event of Bonnet winning lovers of the game will leave no stone unturned to bring about a match between him and Jim Harlow, the coast champion, as there seems little or no chance of Harlow’s match with Kilgallon coming off. Considerable regret has been felt that the match between W. McManus, pro- prietor of the Union court, and Phil Ryan, Lsmpricmr of the San Francisco court, bas een so long postponed, but it has been unavoiaable. McManus’ right hand has not yet recovered from the mistake he made in striking the wall with it instead of the ball, but as soon as it is all right again the match will be played. McManus has a record of tossing forty-two consecn- tive aces against two opponents, and he feels sure of victory. To-morrow the principal games at the courts will be the following: San Fran. cisco—A. Hendry and G. Hutchinson against Pat Kelly and J. Sweeney; J. Jones, the Australian champion, against J. Lawless and J. Condon. Union—D. Farrell and R. Lenihan against J. Feeney and a&l Pennoyer; John Riordan and Terry McManus against W. Kelly and J. Nelson. Occidental—W. Jacobs and G. Cunningham against P. F. MecCormick and C. J. McGlynn; Al C. Hampton and L. Kenny against John Purcell and Al Collins; Dennis Daly, champion of Oak- land, and Ed Maloney against T. F. Bon- net and Al Collins. e : CRICKET CHIRPS. Notes of the Game From All Over the World—Local Games. The Enghsh cricket season, already made a record one by the achievement of ‘W. G. Grace and others, is now atits beight. The dry weather still continues and as a consequence unusual high scor- ing is reported. Among recent important matches are the following: Surrey beat Derbyshire bv an innings and 53; Gloucestershire beat Notts by 135; Kent beat Somerset by 117; Yorkshire beat Gloucestershire by 8 wickets, W. G. Grace in this match making a duck egg for the first time this season; Hampshire beat Leicestershire h{ 342; Cambridge beat Huntingtonshire iun innings and 41 and were defeated by M. C. C. and Ground by an innings and 45. In the annual Rugby vs. Marlborough match izlnyed at Lord’s Rugby, although compelled to follow on in first innings, came out victorious by 70 runs. From Japan comes the report of a close match between Kobe and the royal navy, resulting in a victory for the former by e Wibion 8. € layed a singl e on (B. C.) team ed a single inning game with 1& M. s.Pnzm A.rth‘ur at Esquimalt, and were beaten” by forty- eight runs. Ata meeting of the Oalifornia Cricket Association, held in the secretary’s office last Monday, it was decided to get up a benefit match for Captain F. A. Anson, in recognition of his valuable services to the association. Mr. Anson is dangerously ill at St. Luke's Hospital. The match will be Alameda” versus Klinknerville, and will be played on the latter ground on Admission day. Admission tickets for the event may be obtained through Secre- ta¥ Clark. o-morrow the Pacifics will play the Bohemians at Klinknerville and the Ala- meda B division meet the Mill Valley team on their own ground. e 7 YACHTING. Interest In the Midsummer Regatta on the Increase. Interest in the midsummer interclub regatta increases as the event Aapprolch‘es and much speculation is beingindulged in as to the probable winners. Thus far the Ramona is the only boat entered in the first class and no compari- son is possible. In the second class, however, a number of crack boats have been entered and a hot race is anticipated. El Sueno, Commodore Leonard’s new boat, is expected to carry off the honors, as in_ her recent brush with the Emerald and other fast boats she easily demonstrated her superiority. She is saia to_be remarkably fast while going free. Following are the entries and times of starting: Class 7 starts at 11:30 A. M.—Pilgrim, Cali- fornia Yacht Club; Pinta, Corinthian Yacht Club; Witch, Corinthlan Yacht Club; Naiad, Corinthian Yacht Club. Class 6 starts at 11:30 A.

Yacht Club; ldler, California Yacht u Class 1 starts at 12:15 p. m.—Jessie, Pacific Yacht Club; Lurline, Pacific Yacht Club; Ra- mona, 8an Francisco Yacht Club. The course has been changed somewhat. The following was decided on at the last meeting of the committee: Course 1—-The course, for all yachts except the class 1 (schooners) will be, starting across an imaginary line drawn from fcot of Powell street, where time will be taken,to a stake- boat anchored 1000 yards off shore, and which will be known as stakeboat 1; thence to and around stakeboat 2, anchored one- hali mile west of the Presidio shoal buoy, leav- ing seme on the port hand: thence to end around Blossom Rock buoy, leaving same on the port hand; thence to and around stakeboat 3, anchored two miles due north, leaving samé on the port hand; thence to and around stakeboat 2 (the windward stakeboat) passing between stakeboat 1 and the seawall, and leaving stakeboat 2 on the port hend, and thence to finish across the starting line. This course is officially reck- oned at fourteen nautical miles. Course 2—The yachts in class 1, when com- pleting the above described course, will pass around stakeboat 1. leaving it on the star- board hand, and proceeding to windward, will sail agein over the course dafined in paragraph 1, and finish in same manner as other classes, across the starting line. This course is offi- eially reckoned at twenty-elght nautical miles. il LR COURSING. Drawings for To-Morrow’s Running at the Parks. The change in the management of the [F'two coursing parks in San Mateo County, by which square and intelligent manage- ment andan evident desire to ele- vate the sport have taken the vplace of the mercenary and jockeying methods of old, has worked won- ders in raising interest in the running of the hounds. Formerly it was a hard mat- ter to get twenty-four men to enter their dogs for a stake because of the question- ubfe methods emploved, but as matters now stand forty to sixty-four dog stakes are not hard to raise, and the running is conducted in such a manner as to make it worthy of the attendance of sportsmen. At Kerrigan’s Park the sport is particu- larly good at the present time, the hares running well and the dogs enfered being as a general rule of a high class. Some new hares from a locality noted for the fleetness of its rabbits have recently been received at Casserly’s, and the im- Emvcmem in the running has been nota- le since that time. Some of the recent meetings have brought out a number of young dogs that will be heard from in the future. Little Tom, the winner of the 40-dog stake at Kerrigan’s Park last Snnday, has a strong strain of Eldridge blood in his veins, which accounts for the great speed he developed when in the wake of a speedy hare. He is b{ Laurelwood out of Oak- land Maid, and @feposed of the fast and clever Lissak in a splendid manner. At Casserly’s park to-morrow a twenty- four dog stake will be run, some really good dogs being entered. Tne drawing took place last evening, as follows: R. O'Shea’s Native Daughter vs. W. Greeley's Richmond Boy, J. McBride's Littie Joe vs. R. O’Shea’s Sontag, J. 0’Conner’s Lee Wee vs. H. Gouley's Blanche, J. H. Welch’s Beele vs. J. O'Conner’s Hornpipe, J. 0'Conner’s True Blue vs. J.

There are few if any streams in the State which possess so many of the characteris- tics of an English river as the Yuba. Step- ping aftér midnight from the snowsheds to the comfortable hotel at Cisco, one con- scious of being in the heart of the Sierras finds the contrast next morning between the rugzed peaks and the pastoral valley through which the river runs most strik- ingly picturesque. The stream is not more than three-quarters of a mile from the hotel, but it is a precipitous and rough trail to the wooded mesa below. This 18 the month for the Yuba,as for all the Sierra waters, where the trout ab- solutely will not rise early in the season.

Phillips Brooks Says: “To do a splendid thing is simply to do a common_thing bet- ter than othersdoit.”” That is just what we are doing. We are making just as good picture frames at a moderate price as can be made any- where. We give employment to over 100 sober, industrious hands in the making of frames and mold- ings alone, which shows that the geopls are willing to patronize ome industry, providing that home factories give as good an arti- cle at as low a price as can be ob- tained elsewhere. Six years ago, when our factory was in itsinfancy, thirty-one traveling salesmen, rep- resenting thirty-one picture-frame molding factories in the Eastern States, arrived in this city (one each day) during the month of January. During January of 1895 only three came. For the THINK- ER, comment is unnecessary. Our factory is equipped with all the best and iatest machinery and can turn out molding for the mil- lion just as good in quality and lower in price than it can be landed from factories on the other side, Our pine lumber is cut to size and to order in the mountains, and our plain and quarter-sawed oaks come in carload ?ots from the mills in the woods where the oak tree grows., In buying of us you not only give employment to a large number of your own people, but you get every- thing at first hands and at lowest prices. 2 The things we make besides mold- ings for picture frames are room- moldings, mirror frames, drawing- boards, wood easels, artists’ stretch- ers, palettes, T squares, pine back- ing, plain and ornamented cornice- poles, screens, hat racks, towel racks and swinging mirrors. Our factory /is located at 710 to 720 Minna street, and our Store and Salesrooms are located at 741, 743, 745 Market street. opposite Grant avenue, with Branches at Portland and Los Angeles.
