R~ HANDBALL. i Jones and Riordan May Go East to Compete for the Cup. Champion of the World Phil Casey has sent a challenge on behalf of himself and ex-Alderman Dunne of Brooklyn, N. Y offering to play Fitzgeraid, the Irish cham- pion, and any other man in Ireland a bome-and-home match for tne doubles title, The amount of the stakes is left optional, but the challengers stipulate that the first series of the game shall take place in December or January next at-the Brooklyn Handball Club’s court and the balance at Tralee, Ireland, in July or Angust next. An early and favorable re- ply is expected. The Brooklyn Handball Club’s officials have perfected a scheme for the cultivation of high-class play, and it now rests with the other prominent clubs to back up the enterprise. A solid silver challenge cup is offered for team play and any recognized handball club in the world is qualified to challenge. Each side must deposit $2 and the winning club will then receive the cup, but must be prepared to defend it at all times on two months’ notice. The cup is now on exhibition and in charge of the Brooklyn Handball Club and any legiti- mate challenge from any part of the world will receive prompt attention. The con- ditions call for a home-and-home match, the best of fifteen games, choice of court for opening match to be decided by toss, rules and regulations of promoting ctub to govern. Phil Ryan of the San Francisco hand- ball court will make a bid for the cup, and he will name John Jones and John Rior- | dan as the players who will represent San | Francisco. Riordan is unquestionably the | ayer to Jones on this coast, and | tle practice they should play an excellent game. Riordan is an adept at | tossing, and there are few handball play ers who can equal him in inside play. “ The admirers of handball here are in hopes that the boys will go East and return to the “wild” West with the handsome trophy. | John Lawlor is trying for another match | in Ireland, and should he be successful he will not it San Francisco this year. | Nolan of Kanturk is about to try him the | game match he played Fitzgerald, Tvis| doubtful that Lawlor will be Fitzgerald’s | partner should the Casey challenge be ac- | cepted, as Lawlor would not play in | doubles in the Brooklyn court. The programme arranged by Champion Jones of the San Francisco court for to- morrow reads: L. Levy and W. Darius to lay G. Ward and P. Barry; J. Brown and {. McDonald to play D. Finnigan and Thomas Ryan; C. Johnson and E. To{ to lay J. Sweeney and D. Connclly; M. Mc- Rell ‘and G. McDonald to play J: Rodgers and P. Ryan; J. Carroll and W. Williams, the Bostonian, to play Al Pennoyer and George Hutchinson, .the game to be best three out of five—21 aces. The games that have been arranged by the manager of the Union court are: Terry McManus and C. Johnson will play Pro- fessor Lynch and O. Hendrey; John Humphreys and John McBride will play J. J. McGonigle and 8. Frye; J. Norris and William Kehoe will play M. Coughlin and J. McGuinn; John Riordon, coast cham- ion, will play William Kelly and J. ogers; Al Pennoyer and R. Lenihan will play J. J. Feeney and J. Nelson. Al s COURSING. Thoroughbred Dogs That Are En- tered for To-Morrow’s Races. The lovers of coursing who will take ad- vantage of the opportunity offered by Kerrigan and Cronin to witness to-mor- row's racing events can rest .assured of seeing excellent sport. Good dogs will al- ways give good accounts of themselves. Among the longtails that have been en- tered for Bunday’s meet are the cream of the greyhounds of this City. The drawing took place last evening and the following is the result: _T. McHugh's Maggie M vs. J. Murphy's Red- light, J. P. McDonnell’s Mayo Boy vs. H. Hull's Jenny Lind, T.

According to present arrangements, the fixtures for the visiting team are as fol- lows: To-morrow (Sunday), vs. Pacifics at Alameda; Monday. vs. Bohemians at Golden Gate; Tuesday, vs. the Presidio Club at Golden Gate; Wednesday, vs. Ala- meda at Alameda; Thursday and Friday, | vs. Penryn at Penryn. I am glad to hear that Secretary Ben Clark of the association, who for three weeks past has been confined to his house by pneumonia, is convalescent. A bard, who modestly insists on anony- mity, has expended gray matter and mid- night oil on the following composition, which will be read with mingled delight and admiration by the countless apostles of its subject: My name is Robertson— Wm. R. Called “Billy” By for short- ers On the coast ; but Only one Biily Robertson. That's me. That's what ! T'min a class By myseil. See! And when I start in To make things hum, Look out. I have An eye to business ‘And the main chance In our game. T've been caught out, ‘And stumped and Sometimes bowled ; But run out—never! What's that?

If Brother Robertson wishes to retaliate in like manner, he will be given an oppor- UMPIRE. LAKEPORT, CaL., Oct. 18.—Twelve de- termined men. will sally forth from Lake County to-morrow to try conclusions with the crack clubs of San Francisco. Captain Herbert V. Keeling, with eleven oOther cricket cranks, one of whom is an extra to take the field in case of the disability of any player, will spend a couple of weeks in San Francisco for the avowed purpose of meeting and vanquishing, if possible, the Alameda, Pacific, Bohemian, Presidio, Mill Valley and Citrus Colony (Penryn) clubs. The venture is not the result of a challenge, but simply from a desire on the part of the Lake County boys, who have met and defeated one another many times, to find new worlds to conquer. Cricket in Lake County has had an in- teresting history. It was first played in the English colony in Burns Valley, the matches being purely home affairs, such as “Married vs, Single” and “Gentlemen (left handed) vs. Ladies.” The Burns \.'alle{ Clubat that time possessed some fine players, one of whom, wen, had been a] member of the famous Lancashire eleven. No outside matches were made until 1889, when the Pacific Club of San Fran- cisco ventured into Lake County and met with a decided defeat. Singe that time these two clubs have met each year with varying results, In 1839 the Lakeport club was organized and proceeded at once to receive several signal defeats from the Burns Valley team. . V. Keeling, the present captain and secretary, was the only old cricketer, and it is mainly due to 'his enthusiasm and keenness that the old club has reached its present standing. But it has persevered, and, with the accession of the Hammond brothers and W. O. Edmands, all Harvard men, it has attained considerable skill and ac'i‘i;ny. = e men who compose the present tea: are: W. 8. Bayton, \8. 0. Edmands, C. fin Hammond, G. R. Webber, H. V. Keelin F. Greene, R. E. Nagle, A. B. Rodman, I, 'W. Kelson, C. Renwick, A. H. Spurr and R. 8. Rodman. . C. M. Hammond is one of the strongest men of the team. For two years he was captain of the Harvard crew, and is one of the best oarsmen in the country. A. B. Rodman is_an excellent bat, "He is a graduate of West Point. His brother, R. S. Rodman, is an old Yale man, and a good cricketer in any position. W. 0. Edmands, once a8 member of the Harvard football team; F. W. Kelson of Hurst Col- lege, Eng., W. 8. Bayton of the Winches- ter College (Eng.) eleven,and G. R. Web- ber of Wellington school are good cricket- ers and have had “considerable experience. H. V. Keeling of Dover College is also a good all-around cricketer, a fine bowlerand a good bat.

SACRAMENTO, CAL., Oct. 18.—The first day of the open season found nearly all the local shots of this city at the various ponds and preserves, and excellent bags were made by all who tried the birds .south of the city; but the ponds and sloughs lying up the river seem to be deserted, or nearly so, and this was at- tributed to the immense amount of carp in the waters. The hogfish, as they are} termed, devour all the ducks’ food. The lake controlled by the members of the Mallard Club was almost deserted by birds on the opening day of the season, but since the shooting began down the river the birds are flocking in and the members of the club ex- pect great sport next Sunday, when they wijl make their first outing tri The lake is sitn- ated fifteen miles up the river, on the Yolo side, and the club members ara conveyed to their preserves in their naphtha Iaunch Serena every Saturday, returning the next evening. Paul Sims of the Triple Alliance Club has probably the best record to his gun on firstday, bagying fifty-seven, while the club i tself claims 200 birds ‘killed 'at their grounds near the Union House. The Foresters also had exgellent sport, as their waters were well stocked with birds. Such members as were able to get to the grounds took ninety birds. One of the Ciub members, Henry Mohr, played in hard luck, having a new duek boat, which he found very treacherous. He had hardly left the shore be- fore he had an upset, gun, shells and every other accessory sinking in about five feet of water. After diving several times he managed to recover the articles and replaced them in the boat, butin getting in he stepped on and broke the stock of his gun. Undismayed by his hard run of luck, he spliced the stock to- gether in some way and fired at a passing flock of ducks, but as the muzzle of his gun had be- come clogged with mud the barrel burst and the recoil of the broken stock nearly dislocated his shoulder. Mohr, who is a stanch sportsman, returned to the ‘clubhouse, got & new gun and bagged 18 ducks. Charles Merkley and F. Ashton, who were shooting on the Fay lakes, bagged 128 ducks. Eckhardt and Rustaller knocked dqwn 33. Cherles Flohr killed 23, Frank Rerchert 26, Fred Noid 36, Adam Damn and J. Bryant 18, Stewart Upson 46. Widgeon seemed to be most plentiful, although other varieties were present, and several sportsmen stated that canvasbacks were seen in large numbers. It is the intention of the Game Commission- ers to stop the use of large-bore guns in duck shooting at all hazards, and any one caught violating the law in this particular will be prosecuted to the full extent, ‘—=Hal Stevens, who has shot for the market for years, claimed thata few shots from a large bore wilt domore to frighten the birds from any locality than a whole season’s work with small bore guns. Itwas claimed that a market hunter near Merced killed 38,000 ducks before Christmas last season with one of these mur- derous weapons, and as the better class of mar- ket hunters were opposed to this indiscriminate slaugnter they will do all in their power to aid the authorities. The Capital City Wheelmen have been prac- ticing steadily at Agricultural Park during the past week for their team race, which will take place next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The distance will be ten miles, twenty competitors in each team. Some of the men have already worked out the distance in twenty-seven min- utes. The Rising Sun Gun Club of Dixon give & bluerock tournament in that town next Sun- day. Birdsall of the Sacramento Athletic and Tye of the Acme Club of Oakland will'don the mits on the 22d inst. in the clubrooms in this city. The men_will box at 135 pounds. Trout fishing in tke vicinity of Truckee is re- ported as beiug excellent, the fish taking the ily with great gusto. Russ Flint’s party, who are whipping the McCloud, report splendid sport. UTHERFORD. ERNEST BOEHME'S DEATH COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER HIs REMITTANCES WERE DIs- CONTINUED. FoRMERLY A VINEYARDIST NEAR St. HELENA—TURNED ON THE GASJETS. Ernest Boehme, a ‘remittance man,” killed himself by asphyxiation at his rooms, 1325 Octavia street, early yesterday morning. Boehme's parents, who live in Germany, are very wealthy and kept him liberally supplied with money up to a few years ago when owing to his dissipated habits and a scrape in which he became involved he was shipped to this counury with money to buy a vineyard and go into the wine- making business. g For a while ne followed the grape-grow- ing industry near St, Helena, but the hum- drum life of & vineyardist did not suit his rapid tastes and he was soon following the cocktail route in San Francisco apparently with plenty of money and undeniable in- clination to spend it. Aiter the coin derived from the ranch gave out he again became a pensioner on his parents and received a regular month- ly allowance which was more than sufii- cient for his personal needs and continued his career of dissipation. Lately the par- ents became tired of supporting him in idleness and stopped the allowance, leav- ing Boehme to his own resources. He had to give up his apartments downtown, and went to room in the family of M. von Stack on Octavia street. He ran up big bills at the saloons, of which he had been a regular habitue .while in funds, and then became despondent from dissipation and lack of money. He returned to his rooms at a late hour on Thursday hight, and early yesterday morning the servants in the house de- tected a strong smell of gas coming from his room. The door was broken down and Boehme was found lying on the floor, with the two gasburners in the room flow- ing to their full capacity. A physician was hastily summoned, but Boehme was too far gone to be resusci- tated, and died within an hour of the doctor’s arrival. His body was taken to the Morgue and his parents were notified of his demise. THE HORSE SHOW. Entries for a Successful Equine Event to Close Early. The management of the horse show, which will be held atthe Mechanics’ Pa- vilion from December 3 to 7,is getting everything into shape to surpass the ex- cellent show given last year: Besides the $15,000in cash preminms to be provided by the association, there will be numerous 'special prizes given by various well-known peoflle interested in the success of the show, bringing the total value of the awards up to $20,000, a cred- itable showing for San Francisco to make at its second annual horse show, seein, that New York, at the eleventh annual show to be held next month at Madison S?luare, does not exceed a total of $30,000. The board of directors does not propose to allow any days of grace this year, and the 9th of November is the latest” date for the entries to be in the hands of the secretary. Particulars of many of the special prizes have slready been pnblishevf. and the Horse Show Association will shortly issue an official list. In the meantime the horse.owning public interested 1n the show should see to it that their entries are in the hands of the secretary without loss of time. The management will thereby be greatly convenienced, and exhibitors who engage places for their horses at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion will be entitled to con- sideration in the order in which their entries are filed. —_— Seven Years for Edward Magner. Edward Magner, convicted of manslaughter for killing Robert Moorhead in Comisky's sa- loon on First street, was yesterday sentenced % Judge Wallace to seven years in San Quen- THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, THE SIX-FURLONG HANDICAP IS TAKEN BY MCLIGHT IN FAST TIME, TWO FAVORITES WON PURSES. CHARMER PROVED THE BEST OF THE SELLING-PLATERS IN THE Last EVENT, Bookmaker Joe Rose continued his winning streak yesterdsy. He won $1500 booking and purloined $500 of his brother Bookies' coin betting on the outside. W. 0’B. Macdonough Wwas another turfman that enjoyed & most profitable day. The mil- lionaire horseman won $700 over the victory of his filiy Miss Brummel, backed McLight to win the handicap and took $2000 out of the ring over Charmer’s wig in the last race. The fallacy of furthereiving races with light welter-weight conditions was shown by the fact thatallof the aged division scratched were out of the third race, leaving but four two-year- olds to contest for the purse. The youngsters have all the best of it this season of the year, and owners have become tired of chasing them in. The well-known politician and turfman, “Jim’’ Neil, left for the East Thursday evening with the purport, it is said, of purchasing one or two of the good selling-platers at present racing in the East. Jim has his eye on some of the new Jockey Club’s fat purses, and, as his horses always go for the money, it is to be fioped he will pick up & couple of good ones. Trainer Gobey, who took Flashlight and Ten- nessee Maid to Chicago in the early summer, returned from the Wesgern metropolis yester- day, bringing in the car besides his own two charges (Bone Doctor and Roxy Torrence) six horses owned by John Robbins. In the lot is Mollie R, Miss Truth, Oregon Eclipse, a full sister to McCafferty’s great mare Helen Nichols, and & couple of yearlings. A light- Weight jockey by the name of McKnight came along with the horses. Flashlight and Ten- nessee Maid return without ever having faced the flag in tne East, theformer horse going lame in his work. The stewards of the California Jockey Club held a meesing at the conclusion of the races yesterday to investigate the charges preferred by Bookmak e Stein against the book- making firm ot Cook & Co. etal. Mr. Stein, in his charges, claims that the well-known colored trainer, Don Williams, also the guardian of Jockey Chevalier, is financially interested in Cook & Co.’s book, and that Chevalier has been riding in the firm’s interest. Early in the week Chevalier rode Ransom, a decided favorite, and finished third. Bookmaker Stein claimed the horse was a “green-eyed lobster,” and the stewerds now have the matter before them. Little came of last night’s meeting, as an im- portant witness was not present. The case will receive further probing to-day. The coming sale of thoroughbreds from Palo Alto stock farm on November 4 and 5, prom- ises to be the greatest in the history of that noted breeding establishment. In a letter to & well-known turfman in this City, Superin- tendent Frank Covey, says he never saw a finer looking lot of youngsters gathered together. He says the star of the lot is the Racine-Gorgo colt, and he predicts the grandly bred fellow will bring $4000,0r over. He also makes especial mention of Glenlight, by Flambeau-Glendeyw, who, he says, is the picture of & racehorse. The filly by Cyrus out of Fairy Rose, Mr. Covey seys, is not large, but very, racing looking. Another that he appears very sweet on is the filly by Racine, dam Jlirt, & half-sister to Flir- tation. Crescenda, by Flambeau, out of imp. Amelia, the dam of Pictou, Rinfax and Nomad, is another that is set down for,a top price. Secretary Edwin F. Smith of the State Agri- cultural Society yesterday gave out the condi- tions for the Nursery stakes, to be run during the State Fair, at Sacramento, in 1896: A sweepstakes for two-year-olds, foals of 1894— Subscrioers to send $10 with each entryon November 1, 1895, $15 payable March 1, 1896, and $25 August 1, 1896; all starters to pay $50 additional by 5 p. M. the day before the race, the State Agricultural Society to add $1000; the winner to receive $600 and stakes, second horse $250, third $159; winners of two races to carry three pounds, of three races five pounds, of four or more seven pounds extra; non-winners if beaten twice allowed three pounds, if beaten three times five pounds, it four or more times seven pounds. Payments not made as they become due declares entry out and releases subscriber. Six-furlong en- tries to close with secretary November 1, 1895. Entries for this same stake with like condition, to be contested for in 1897, close on January 1, 1896. The attendance at the track yesterday was the largest of the week and the betting was livelier than for some time past. But two of the favorites managed to keep their heads above water, and beyond a few indi- vidual players the talent was worsted. Snowdown and Mainstay, both red-hot favorites in their respective races, dumped their backers hard, their defeat being par- tiaily contributed to by the miserable starts they received. The event of the day was the fourth event on the card, the short six-furlong bandicap, with those three good sprinters, Mainstay, Rosebud and McLight, to face the flag. The first named was a pro- nounced favorite, opening in the betting at 6 to 5 and being backed down to 9 to 10. Rosebud opened a strong 7 to 5 second choice, but went back to 16 to 5, McLight having second call at post time. Over twenty minutes was consumed at the post with a_great deal of apparently unneces- sary fidgling and fidfihqg before the flag fell, and then with McLight off, running, and the favorite fully a length and a half back of Rosebud. The leader maintained his advantage throughout, winning by two lengths in the fast time of 1:113{. In a drive Rosepud downed the favorite a head for the place. 5 4 Mr. Ferguson has again contributed his chance to the defeat of the favorite in the opening race, a five-furlong dash for two- year-olds. A decidedly warm tip went the rounds on Snowdown, and he was backed down from 2 to 1to even money. He got away from the post barely within hailing distance of the first horse off, and never showed to any advantage in the race. De- cision, who should have been favorite on his past roms, overlooked at 4 to 1, fought the finish out with Moran, a 10 to 1 shot, and won by a nose. Through Chevalier’s good " riding the even-money favorite, Leonville, was en- abled to capture the purse in the follow- ing race, a five - furlong selli Getting away from the post well, he took him back, and slipping through next the rail as the field struck the . stretch, gradually went to the front and won easily at'the end by & length from Gon- dola, well supported in the betting at sixes. The 100 to 1 shot De Groat,with H. Wilson up, was a fair third. The third race, a short six-furlong dash with light welterweight conditions, was an easy thing for Mr. Macdonough’s im- ported filly Miss Brummel, a 9 to 10 favor- ite. She led throughout, winning hand- ily two lengths before Monitor, the second choice, in 1:73 flat. Without doubt the star betting race of the day was the last, a mile selling dash, with six apparently well-matched platers as starters, The bookmakers chalked pretty light prices against all but Centurion, who was the rank outsider at 60 to 1. Around goat time, Fred Gardner had first call at 4, with Raindrop, Charmer, Warrago and Little Bob all listed at 4 and 5. Rain- drop and Charmer made the running throughout, the former beginning to quit as they turned the bend for home. After shaking the Appleby entry off, Charmer clung to the lead and won at the wire b; three parts of a length from Warrago, wit! sprint.’ Little Bob, who made up a tremendous lot of ground, a lapped on third.
