The Farraguts of Vallejo, the amateur champions of Solano County, will go to Haywards Sunday to play a team taken from the Haywards Athletic Club. The Haywards team has playad several games during the past season and have proved themselves to be a very strong body, while the Farraguts of Vallejo have played several games the past season. McGuire of the Farraguts is a powerful athlete and when he starts to buck the line with the assistance of the half-backs, Scullv and McEniry, and Quarter-back Lee, he generally gains from three to ten rds. yn’l‘%e guards, Hobbs and O'Hars, are very strong and put up a fine game. The tackles, “Baby’* Hoyt and Cooney, prove to. be very stronz also, as does the ends, Corcoran and Coombs. Kavanaugh at center is very strong, though he 1s the lightest man in the team. He does some fine playing. Tae Farraguts will bring a large crowd of enthusiastic people who will yell and help encourage their team on to victory. Sariigl Ul Coursing.

A. team by a score of 9to 5. Much of the well-earned victory is due to the passing and goal-throwing of Shaw, Spacher and Captain Klarman, who are undoubtealy the best on the coast in their respective positions. The Oaklands piayed a good up-hill game, particularly J. Lancaster, middle-center, and in a few months’ time will be strong rivals for championship honmors. Two halves of twenty minutes each, with ten minutes’ rest, were played, and it was the first game in which the new association league ball was used.

What the Sportsmen, Cyclists, Ath~ letes and Coursers Are Doing. SACRAMENTO, CAL., March 19.—The trap-shooting season of 1896 promises to be one of far greater interest in this vicinity than has been known in years, New clubs have been organized and old ones have been re juvenated and the sports are show- ing up in excellent form, many of the younger men bidding fair to make records for themselves which will be hard to sur- pass. At the ‘opening shoot of the Spoonbill Club, held at Eckhardt’s shooting grounds last Sunday, Soule carried off first honors, with a score of 20 birds, Thomas second with 19. In the second event, a15-bird match, Damm and Thomas tied on 13 birds, Newbert breaking 12. In the event at ten biras Soule broke 9, Damm 8. The ovening live-bird shoot of the Pelican Club also occurred last Sunday, J. M. Mor- rison and J. B. Griffin dividing the honors with 17 birds each, Captain Rubstaller and L. 8. Upson killing 16 each. The next shoot of the Capital City Bluerock Club will take place to-morrow and is looked forward to with great interest py local cracks, as the performance of E. A. Nico- laus, who is looked upon as the coming shot of this section, is being watched care- fully, and it is believed that if he keeps up his Torm the best shots of the State will have to rustle to be in it with him. Great preparations are being made for the big blue rock tournament, which will be held at the Kimble and Upson shooting grounds on the 29th inst., the programme being as follows: Ten birds, known trap and angle, §1 entrance; fifteen birds, known trap and unknown angle, $2 en- trance; twenty birds, known trap and angle, $2 50 entrance; twenty birds, known trap and angle, $90 worth of merchandise prizes, §2 entrance; fifteen birds, known irap and unknown angle, $1 50 entrance; twenty-five birds, known trap and angle, entrance, and ten birds, known trap and unknown angle, $1 entrance. All moneys to be dividea 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Noted shots from all over the State have promised to be present. The Sacramento tennis clubs have re- paired their courts and begun practice.

Wilson, Henry Conklin, William Hubert, E. Pope, B. Miine and E. Leach. George Readman, the captain of the Capi- tal City Wheelmen, is considered to be the strongest rider, and Louis Payne, William Hubert and Chris Ecklon come next in the list. C. W. Conger and L. S. Upson paced Gver the 14-mile course which will be run on Sunday, making the distance in 39 min- utes. Preparations are being made for a road race between the Sacramento and Stockton clubs, to be run on the 26th of April. The distance to be covered is 104 miles. There will be seven relays which will be placed this coming week. The last cocking main of five battles re- sulted in a draw, each side taking two bat- tles and the fifth being a tie.

RUTHERFORD. GARNER WAS AL RIGHT, Had Five Mounts and Got Them All to the Wire in Front. GREYHURST AT 1 TO 8 BEATEN. Scimitar Beat the Favorite Hidago Out a Nose in the Final Race of the Day. Young Garner, who is under engage- ment to do the riding for the St. Louis horseman, Dan Honig, had what might be termed a “swell day” of it in the saddie yesterday. There were six events on the card and Garner had a mount in five of them. With one exception they were all favorites in the betting and, beginning with Snowdown, the clever youngster never ceased until he had landed them all past the wire in front. It is indeed an enviable record and one that has been sur- passed by but few ‘knights of the pig- skin.” x ' The entries were not heavy, but the different events were. all fairly well con- tested. One outsider and a second choice broke the favorites’ slate. o While Garner was winning golden opinions_for his splendid work in the saddle, Jerry Chorn came in for much adverse criticism for his stupid ride on the two-year-old Greyhurst. The gray wasa 1to 8 favorite over the four maidens he started against, and his defeat was the big surprise. of the day. When the barrier was raised, Emelia S shot _out in the lead with the odds-on choice following under double wraps. Turning into the stretch both of the leaders went wide, and Jones on Adam Andrew slipped through next the rail and secured the lead. Chorn then began about as bungling a finish on the favorite as has been seen in many a moon. Taking no hold whatever of the youngster’s head, his mount swerved all over the track and was beaten out fully four lengths by the 12 to 1 outsider. Emelia 8 was third. TFifteen selling-platers started in the five-furlong dash, with the openin w‘lightf twenty-eight pounds above the scale. Snowdown, with Garner up, went to the post at 13 to 5, equal choice- with Sagamore. Garner sent his mount to the “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

The Committee Will Probably Report in Favor of a Six Months’ Delay. Two additional petitions agajnst per- mitting the hog ranohes to remain within the districts where they are now located were filed with the Board of Supervisors yesterday. One was from the residents of Excelsior Homestead, where some of the worst nui- sances of this character have been re- vorted, and the other from the Spring Valley Homestead on Islais Creek. The property-owners in both instances claim that the stench from the ranches renders life almost unbearable to them, endangers the lives of the members of their families and depreciates the value of their property. At the meeting of the Health and Police Committee of the board yesterday the petitions previousiv received were placed on file, the matter being in tae hands of a special committee with instructions to report to the board. This committee, which consists of Super- visors Hobbs, Wagner and King, has visited a number of the places complained of in search of information and experience on which to base a report. It is probable that the committee will report in favor of allowing the ranchers six months in which to find new locations and remove their orcine chattels to them. Supervisors King and Wagner are known to favor the ranchers, and Supervisor Hobbs is also inclined to think that it would work a hardship on the hog-raisers to force them to move on short notice. “There is no question about these ranches being a nuisance,” said the latter yesterday. ~‘The stench that arises is simply horrible and, it apvears to me, calculated to breeed disease. Still I think that these men should be. given time to find other land on which to raise their hogs, if we can be assured that they will leave peaceably when their time is up.” SOCIALISTS AND SUFFRAGE. Miss Anthony and Mrs. Sargent Address the American Branch. Miss Susan B. Anthony addressed the Society of American Socialists last even- ing and her address was supplemented by a practical talk by Mrs, A. A. Sargent. There was a large audience, chiefly of the unbonneted class of listeners. The well-known suffrgge leader gavea brief history of the development of gov- ernment and said she saw no necessity of making an argument for equal suffrage to socialists, for she undersiood that they had incorporated such a plank in their platform. 3 A black-eyed, black-bearded man who sat in the front row assured her that such wes not the case. *‘There are lots of them in this hall who don’t believe in it, whether they say so or not,” he insisted. Then the lady proceeded with the argument. A man in the audience asked Miss An- thony what effect suffrage would have on the industrial question—that is, on the un- employed. There was derisive laughter on the part of the audience. The lady re- plied that she did not know how it would affect the unemployed, but as for the em- ployed the women were helpless without the power of the ballot. Another interested listener wanted to know whether since women constitute three-quarters of the church membership, under a feminine vote: the Government would not become-one of ‘ministers. Miss Anthony thought not, but that women would vote for the most moral men, e ————— Comss, brushes, sponges, perfumery, soap and évery other toilet articie known to the zu‘;la in periumery department, st S.nho.m B se|] % | % | % | s | Fin Jookeys. |gRetting, 1|18 | 1% |1 il 83 | i) i 3| 83| 26 | 28 8|7 83 | 54 2| 21 | 3h.{ 3n 7| 60 | 7 61 51 4n | 62 | 7 . o Startinggate used.

MAKING SITES FOR HOMES. The Heirs of the Hearst Estate Ex- pending Money in Beautifying the South Side. The Potrero section is not being neg- lected in so far as the progressive spirit of improvement goes. The Potrero Land and Water Company is working a gang of fiity men on the Minnesota-street side of Blue- rock Hill in filling up the hollow that lies west of that street and south of Sierra and Napa to the northern line of the rope works. This property belongs to the estate of the late Senator Hearst and will when filled in make desirable building lots, increasing not only the vaiueof the property thus improved, bfit also the adjacent location. This prospective view ean be seen from the fact that a lot 25 by 100 feet adjoining the Potrero public school on Minnesota street was sold for §1300. This same ot a few years ago and before it was filled in was worth comparatively speaking noth- ing as a residence site. The principal object of this filling-in pro- cess is'to remove the unsightly biue.rock knob which faces Napa street. This blue- rock promontory‘belongs to -ex-Stupervisor Christian Reis and his brothers. They in _turn are co-operating with the Hearst heirs in the work of improvement. The one will level what the other needs to fill in with. In addition tothis work Contractor Whitley will start a gang of thirty men to work next week lo grade and fill in the declivities on Mission street, between Solano and Mariposa and between Missis- sippi street and Pennsylvania avenue. This undertaking will give employment to quite a number of men during the spring and summer months, and will, when finishea, leave desirable lots for building‘purposes— a necessity that has long been felt in*that portion of the City. The work of, removing Bluerock Hill to the adjoining swamp ground is not a diffi- cult underta infi, as the rock yields easily to the pick, and its removal is done by a train of cars run on a railway track by an endless wire cable drawn on a drum at the base of the works. The loadec cars in descending haul the.empty ones up to the platform, where they in turn are filled and dispatched. 5 At the present rate of progress andim- provements in tuhe Potrero’ it will not be many years until Bluerock Hill will be re- moved to fill in the adjacent hollows and elegant residences and business stores will adorn the crown of Potrero Heights. An elegant schoolhouse, three churches and an industrious population is not a bad nucleus for a starter for the foundation of a prosperous outside section of the City. STOCKHOLDERS MEET.

Dr. Robert J. Bowie, the dashing young surgeon of the Occidental and Oriental linep Belgic and brother of Allen St. J. Bowie, president of the Western Light and Power Company, will Le-asked to appear before a Justice of the Peace to-day to.divulge the extent and location of his worldly posses- sions, if he has any. Some years ago Bowie boarded with Mrs. Blanche Wilcox and ran up a hig bill for his keep. When she finally importuned him to settle he gave her a promissory note for $175 in payment. 4 This was two years ago and though the note called for a settiement within .thirty days the paper was never takenup. She assigned her claim to J. J. Rauer, who ob« tained a judgment by default. ‘When the collector of bad aebts tried to find something with which to satisfy the decree of the court he was unsuccessful. A deputy Sheriff sent with a garnishment to intercept tbe doctor's salary from the company failed to find that any money was due him and the medico did not ap+ pear to have any valuables that could be levied upon. In order to settle for good the surgeon’s financial standing Rauer had an order of examination issued calling upon the doe- tor to appear before a Justice of the Peace and explain matters. As the Belgic sails to-day at the same hour on which Dr. Bowie is ordered to ap- pear in court it is probable that some sort of arrangement will be arrived at in order that he may be able to sail with the ship. e 3 There are no fewer than 13,000 school« mastersin Germany whose salary falls be- low £40 per annum, s
