There will be another big drop this week. It is announced that the kinetoscops will be used at some of the forthcoming road and track races in Boston, according to Bearings. This will be the first experi: ment with this wonderful machine in connection with cycle races. C. R. Coulter, the well-known profes- slonal of this city, is trying to match W. E.

The Pacific Club Has a First-Glass Programme for Wednesday Evening. The Pacific Athletic Club has an excel- lent programme of fistic sport for Wednes- day evening next and judging from the material the directors ot the club have selected for this occasion the patrons of the game of fisticuffs can count upon wit- nessing a first-class per formance. Alex Greggains is too well known to the fraternity who take an interest in boxing 1o need any particular comment. Fhe ex- firemang is, without doubt, the clevere: heavy-weight boxer in America excepting the ex-champion, Jim Corbett, and as a matter of fact Greggains is not a man who polishes off his opponents by knocking them stiff, bat on the other hand he has a happy way of jabbing nis antagonist un ak and discouraged from the continous jabbing and body punches which count in’ the long run. Greggains bas trained faithfully for this match, and Le will_certainly give a good account of bimself. The ex-fireman’s opponent 1s Jack Stelz- ner, the heavy-weight pugilist who handled Champion Fiiz-immons when he | trained for Sbarkey and Corbett, and if Fitzsimmons speaks the truth Stelzner must be a hard man to whip. The cham- pion said toa Iriend in this City before taking his departure for the East that Stelzner can whip any good second-class heavy-weight bandily anda that none of beating bim. 1t can therefore be seen that Gregeains hasa hard game to win, and battles of this kind are the ones the sporting public delight in witnessing. The second match arranged by the Pa- cific Club directors will assuredly be a contest well worth going many miles to see. The clever and plucky fighter, Lon Agnew, will face his old opponent, Bob Thompson, the cplored pugilist of Salt Lake Citv. It gody withou: saying that this match will prove to be of great inter- | est. Agnew has had quite = few uphill | contests in this City, and there is probably | not a_fighter among the array of hard- hitting citizens who is more fancied by the | devotees of ring Sports than the pleasant and reassuring Lon Agnew. He can al- ways be counted upon to goa good dis- tance in any kind of company. The Heaith and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday and agreeu to recommend that the Cali- fornia Athletic Club be granted a permit for a boxing contest, to be held in the | month of May, providing that a license of | $100 ve paid and that 5 per cent of the zross receipts be paid into the fund for the relief of the unemploved. TROUT FISHING. Warm Weather WIll Insure Good Sport to Fly-Casters. The past week of wsrm weather is ex- actly what the anglers hoped for, as the coast streams, which have been running high and murky since the opening day of | the trout-fiskinz season, will now assume | The an appearance pleasant to the eye of all | lovers of the gentle and exhilarating pas- time of fly-casting. | The Paper-mill is gradually developing | aJuly appearance, and in a week or so the (rout shouid rise toa fly readily, as all refuse matter washed from the hills into the stream during the freshets will no longer be looked for by the gourmands of the deep pools that afford such grand sport to the fly-caster when a whopper is attached to the stratcher fly. Latest accounts from the Papermill and Lagunitas creeks state that the water s | yet too high for fly fishing, and tbat the late heavy flood must have carried with it large numbers of good-sized trout to the ocean, leaving the fingerlinzs, which ound sheiter in the tributaries to the main creeks, bebind. J. McGregeor of the mail service was at Point Reyes on Thursday and reports fishing very poor there at present. He explained why the fishing was poor by stating tbat the stream from the bridge which spans the creek near Point Reyes 1o the sand spit was literally covered with divers, and that the long-necked poachers were killing hundreds of trout. The pro- prietor of the Point Reyes Hotel engaged two men to make war upon the invaders, and doubtless divers will be scarce in the vicinity of Point Reves on Sunday. At the least calculation there were 150 | anglers on the Paper-mill and Lagunitas creeks last Sunday, but with few excep- tions they returnea with more water than fish. Al Smith,thechampion ‘‘worm’” fish- erman, was high hook, and Senator Syd- ney Hall was next in line with a beautiful basket of small steelieads., wkich he caught in the tidewater near Point Reyes. The anglers who journeyed to Sonoma Creek were not successful, as the stream was altogether too high and off color. There should be good fishing on the So- noma Creek a week from Sunday, as that stream takes longer to run clear than does the Paper-mill. Judge Oliver P. Evans caught a good wetting by caving down the bank into a deep pool, but be- ing a thorough %portsman he did not grumble because he caught a dousing and very few fis . Judge Hunt returned from some favor- He ac- knowledged that it is too early yet to ex- pect anything like good fishing. Colonel Cracknell and Cad” caught a nice basket of fish in the little stream that runs close by the San Rafael Orphan Asylum. Bill Cooney and Eugene O'Rourke were among the first-Sunday-ol-the-season anglers who wet lines in Sonoma Creek last Sunday. Harace Smythe caught sbout forty nice trout last Thursday from the stream that runs near Ross Station. Al Wieland and John Siebe basketed eighty trout on Thursday, which they took from the Trockmorton Lagoon, which is in the Tamalpais Club preserve. Dan O'Connell and a friend visited Tokaloma last Thursday, but “The” 0’Conneil had poor luck, notwithstanding his knowledge of the game. He did not look for large fish, as his ket was about large enough to hold a few dozen fingerlings. S oy RIFLE AND PISTOL. A Hundred-Shot Match Arranged Between Adolph Strecker and A..H Pape. At last there is a match on between Adolph Strecker and A. H. Pape, two of the best rifle shots in the Columbian Pistol The match will be a 100- shot contest for $20 a side and will take place within three weeks. The contest will not be so much for the money as to determine who is the better marksman of the two in a long race. Strecker is much tbe older ehot of the two, but Pape has made some wonderful strides in marks- manship within thé past few years. This mateh, which will be held on the Shell Mound range and shot on the mew Co- several weeks and marksmen are looking torward to the outcome of the event with areat interest. Op Sunday there will be a large attend- ance on the Shell Mound rifle range, and the following organizations will hold their regalar contests: Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club—Medals ana cash prizes. San Francisco Schuetzen Verein—Medal. Germania Schuetzen Club — Medal and prize shooting. deatscher Schuetzen Club — B: shooting and final shoot for medal,” donated for best three bullseyes during the last twelve bullseye contests. Red Men Schueizen Section—Medal shoot- ing. Indspendent Rifles — Cless medal stooting. Companies C, G, F and K, First Infantry, N. G. C. In the last Btate shoot Lieutenant H. Huber of Company 1, First Regiment, formerly San Francisco Fusileers, won the company’s medal for good. This medal has been competed for for twenty- three years, as it had to be won three years in succession to become the prop- erty of the winner. Lieutenant Huber made the highest scores in the State shoots of 1894, 1895 and 1896. ‘The medal is a beautiful piece of work. On the back of it are the names and scoresof tie many marksmen who have haa the honor of winning the medal since 1874. Sy cdined TRAP SHOOTING. That Wil Bs Had To- Morrow at Varicus Grounds. The handlers of the shotgun will gather at the trap-shooting srounds to-morrow, where sportad libitum will be indulgea in by those who fancy smashing ciay birds. The shootsarranged for are: Re- liance Club at Webster-street grounds; Golaen Gate tournament at Alameda Junction; Empire Club shoot and fifty- bird race at Alameda Point; Olympic Gun Club snoot at Ingleside, which will finish with a twenty-five bird race oven to all. The Encinal Gun Club has joined the Inanimate Target Association, and will hold its second blue-rock tournamentat Birds Point on Sunday, the 18th inst. Sportsmen are looking forward with much pleasure to the grand open-to-all tournament, which will be held at the Pacific Tournament grounds on May 2 under the management of those well- known sportsmen, the Golcher brothers. The prizes are especially valuable, and as there will be no entrance money charged it goes without sayving that the attend- ance will be something extraordirarily jarge. The prizes have already been pub- lished in Tue CaLL. They should attract the atiention of trap-shooters from all parts of the State. THE OARSMEN. Great Actlvity Among the Ends, Dolphins and Arlels. ¥rom the present outlook this season promises to be a successful one for the oarsmen. On last Sunday morning the Pioneer Rowing Club held a club re- Sport South | gatta in which crews from the South End and Ariel clubs participated. Overtwenty boats started at the word “'go,” and for over a mile the race was one of the most exciting that has been seen on the bay in many years. At the stakeboat the South Ena crew took the lead, closely followed by Growney of the Ariels and Captain Will Thomas of the South Ends. On the nomestretch the Pioneers made a desper- ate effort to regain their lost ground, but th e distance was too great and they fin- ished about three lengths behind the South Ends. Captain Thomas reports wonderful im- provement in the work of the junior crews, and promises to have them in con- dition for the try-out regatta which will take place on Sunday, April 25. Ed Leary, Archie Campbell, William Mead ana Frank Reichlinz took advan- tage of the fine weather on Sunday morn- ing and rowed to Hunters Point, where they fished for several hours without get- ting even a bite. The party returned to | the boathouse st a very late hour with nothing to show but a faw crabs, which | Mr. Campbell caught with his oar on the way home. Frank J. Burke and a party of friends were seen rowing leisurely up the bay on Iast Sunday aiternoon. Mr. Burke was attired in a very neat blue-and-gold sweater, which won the admiration of his ladv iriends. L Over fiteen skiffmen are daily training for the carnival regatta, which promises to bea grand success. All these gentle- men will compete in the try-out rezatt. George Bates, Frank Duplissea, James Foley, Lr. Dennis, George Fox., T. Fitzpatrick, Al Fritz, Hugh McIsaac, Matt O'Brien, Jim Palios, Charlie Cutter, Joe Foley and Ed Sculty. Last Sunday morning a crew in the barge Willand rowed to Sausalito and re- turned to Harbor View before dinner. The crew was composed of J. J. Cronin, J. Laib, W. Laib. Al Y‘Mb‘ C. Mogan, T. J. Sullivan and W. J. Henrichs. The nincteentn annual excursion will bs held on April 25to Bohemia Grove. The proceeas will be devoted to the pur- chasing of a new race-barge. T. R. Keenan is putting a new deck on his shell, and will begin training for the | carnival regatta. Patch had an oar poked through the deck of his shell last Sunday. The Dolphin junior crew was out Mon- | day morning, The crew is made up of W. A. Patch, stroke; Alex Pape, afterwaist; T. J. Ken- nedy, forwardwaist; W. L. Meyer, bow, and George Roach, cockswain.

Henrichs, stroke; Pete von Hadeln, aiterwaist; John Lynch, forward- waist; Sam Murray, bow, and Adam Schuppert, cockswain. The Ariels will open the season on Sun- day, April 18, with an interesting re. at Long Bridge. A great deal of prepar: tion is going on, and it is expected that the opening will surpass anything ever given by the club. Races have been arrangea for shells, out- rigger skiffs, pair-oared shells and barges. The Ariels will undoubtedly have their new barze now under course of construc- tion comp eted by that time. Henry Peterson, the coast champion professional sculler and an old-time mem- ber of the club, will row an exhibition race with other celebrities of the past. On Thur:day evening, April 22, the club will give an entertainment and dance. The proceeds will be devoted to purchas- ing new boats. e THE . YACHTSMEN.

NO MONEY FOR DUNNE, Appointed Special Counsel by the Su- Pervisors, but Must Wait for His Pay. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided to report favorably on the application of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association to have James P. Dunne retained as special counsel in the office of District Attorney Barnes. It was stated that the attorney had done good work in prosecuting offenders against the pure-food laws. It was also decided to provide for the payment of his salary— the special counsel fees being exhausted— out of the urgent necessity fund. Auditor Broderick says that he will not audit any demands from the attorney on the urgent necessity fund, and that he will bave to wait until the special counsel fund is in a condition to stand the drain. M MR. WILLETT'S TYPEWRITER. Auditor Broderick Kefuses to Allow the - City to Pay for It. Auditor Broderick has finally and em- phatically refused to permit the City to pay for a $90 typewriter ordered and used by William Willett, the attorney for the collector of delinquent taxes. He sent a communication to that effect to the Finance Committes of the Board of Supervisers yesterday stating that Mr. Willett was collecting for the City under & contract at 25 per cent, and that as the attorney was using the machine 1n his private office he could see no reason why the City snould stand the expense. The committee decided to Ieject the demand. Juckson, U. ———————— St. Mary’s Cathedral.

Soniro Furnished a Very Ex- hilarating Reversal of Form. Inglesid> Beat Hotspur Out—Alvarado No M.tch for Bernardi lo—Dua- boy an Improved Sprintar. ‘The favorites were all beaten at Emery- ville vesterday. There wus a reversal of forin or two, & smotkered wail or so from the talent, the judges tapped the bell and the tickets were paid. A;\uce meetings draw to a close, officials in the stand are apt to overlook many little twists and tortuous curves that would come in for in- quiry earlier in the season. Old battle-scarred Hotspur was a slight favorite for the opening seven-furlong race, and, although he made a gallant effort, was beaten out at the end by Zeke Abraham’s Ingleside, second choice in the betting. The Cheat was made an even-money choics for the two-year-old four-furiong scramble and finished third. Bliss Rucker, as is the good fortune that be- falls the Burns & Waterhouse entries, drew a good position at the post and, leading all the way, led the twice *‘zood thing,” Torsids, out by over a length, rattling off the distance in 49 seconds. The erratic Alvarado had a strong first call in the betting on the starters in the mile selling run, but was outfooted all the way by the strongly played Bernardillo, which won galloping in 1:4 The winner wasa 3 tolshotin the betting. A ypoor starl worked the defeat of the even-money choice, Morte Fonse, in tbe mile and a furlong run. Chariey Thorpe had thelez up and just as the barrier shot upward was cut off and passed the stand way back in the ruck. Hazard at odds of 9 tc 2 took the lead from Veragua three furlongs from home and proved a very handy winner in 1:57. The favorite made a great run fiom behind, taking the place from Oakland. On April 7, ridaen by Willie Martin, Soniro was beaten over twenty lengths in a seven-furlong race captured by Tulare and throughout the betting was a drug on the market. Yesterday he was played from 30 and 40 down to 12 to 1 and finish- ing strong cleverly downed Charlemagne for the fifth event, a seven-furlong selling affair. Behind him finished Hermanita, the 2 to 1 choice, Oiive and other tair per- formers. The final five-and-a-bali-furlong dash went to Dunboy,which, favcred by a poor start, lei throughout and won handily from Suisun, the favorite. Santa Paula, a 100 to 1 shot, was third e NOTeS.

SCIENTIFIC TREATIIENT. In Seminal Weakness, like all other ail. ments, the peculiarities shown in each casa will differ snd each case must be studied by itsell and treated according to the conditio existing in that particular case.
