The San Francisco Kennel Club has is- sued its list of officers and committees. The principal ones are as follow: Di- rectors, A. B. Spreckels, president; J. E. de Ruyter, first vice-president; H. J. second vice-president; F. W. treasurer; H. H. Carlton, sec- v; Dr. F. W. d'Evelyn, J. G. Barker, Sullivan. Committees: Bench H. J. Crocker, W. C. Brown, Dr. n, H. H. Carlton, E. V.

Berger, Dr. ’Evelyn; guarantee fund—A. B. Spreckels, H. J. Crocker, J. E. de er, E. V. Sullivan, W. 8. Kittle, F. W. Tallant. The club met on Thursday evening, and s resolved to devote 75 per cent of the net profits to tne charitable Institu- tions of San Francisco, including the Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew Orphan asylums and the Associated Charities. There can be no doubt that the show will be well patronized, for the charitable proclivities of the San Franciscans are proverbial. The following fa con- noisseurs of the canine ra - lected to judge the exhibits, and ames are sufficient guarantee that })m‘ ve- | J. Bull, | his | awards will be ably and fmpartially stowed: J. Burrell for collies; the noted greyhound fancler, for specialty, and for au other breeds George Bell of Chicago, who stands second to none as an all-round judge of dogs who is as well and favorably known in England and Canada as in the United where his name is a household mong dog breeders. The office of the club has been opened at 224 Montgomery street, and ever-popular “‘Dave’’ Sinclair is in Chicago, as hereto- fore. The premium lists will be pub- lished next week. The proprietors of the Verona kenmels have definitely decided that their im- ported collies, Old Hall Admiral and -Heather Mint, shall hereafter be benched “for exhibition only.” Champlon St. Clare Laddie is to be withdrawn from the kennel altogether, and wiu resume his former place as Mrs. Hearst's house- hold companion. Mrs. B. Bryan's Queen Olga, winner of first novice in great danes at San Jose, is to make the Cali- fornia circuit. Great things are expected of this irmmlslnlz bitch, but time will show. Mr. Hickman's fox-terrier, Count Othonar, winner of the first puppy at San Jose, has been placed in Bradshaw's hands. The “Reefer’ ears are plainly in evidence in this otherwise splendid young animal. The splendldly groomed appearance of the San Benito collies at San Jose earned | much admiration for Norman J. Stew- art’s exhibit. He, lie all others, had to give way to the all-conquering Veronas, but he came in a good second. Far from being discouraged, Mr. Stewart claims that there are as good collies in Scotland as have ever come out of there, and he intends trying his luck in importing. Mr. Stewart deserves special mention for the unwearying courtesy extended by him to the representatives of the press. The San Jose show has resulted well financlally for its promoters. The Call combined clubs on a well-merited The April meeting of the “rebel ific Mastiff Club takes lace on Saturday evening. The further ction of the club in the matter of seces- on is awaited with much interest by local fanciers. The harmony in its ranks 1s not altogether perfect. G. A.

The house committee, consisting of Fleet Captain Dr. A. W. McKenzie, Secretary Charles B. Hill and Financial Secretary W. G. Morrow, has nearly completed the ar- rangements for the reception and dance at the clubhouse on Saturday, April 23. The regatta committee, consisting of Vice-Commodore George T. 8. White, Treasurer R. B. Hogue and Measurer J. K. Punnett, has charge of the sports and small-boat regatta to be held on Sunday, the 24th. Financial Secretary W. G.

Plenty of work is being done at Tib- uron on the boats of the Corintalan fleet, many of which will be got ready during the next two weeks, and will attend the opening of the San Francisco Yacht Club on April 23and 24. Last Sunday Joe Mat- toon’s sloop Amigo came down from Ben- icia, where she has been lying all winter, to her moorings at Tiburon. The yawl Arcturus is expected to come off Frank Stone’s *“ways’ at Tiburon in a day or two. The Aeolus will then take her place. The Freda and Ella are on Stone's “ways” at Hunters Point. The new suit of sails for ex-Commodore J. W. Pew’'s Truant has arrived, and the Truant will hle put on the “ways” in about a week's time. Last year the Corinthlans, represented by the Aecolus, won from the Encinal Yacht Club the perpetual challenge cup offered hi' the San Franciscos. Up to the present time no challenge for the cup has been received. E. B. Lathrop, secretary of the Corin- thians, has had a long spell of ill-health, but it is sincerely hoped by his friends that he will be able very shortly to re- sume business at the old stand. The debt of the Encinal Yacht Club has recently been taken up by several of its members, who have accepted the club’s notes. The club Is now entirely free of debt to outside parties. The new directors are displaying much energy, and are stirring up the club from the lethargic condition into which the old board had ermitted it to fall. There is a marked ncrease in the club's receipts, and a considerable number of new members is expected. Several new electric lights have been put into the clubhouse, and the swimming facllities have been in- creased by the addition of a trapeze and a new chute. vate party was which was prettily decorated and hung with Japanese lanterns. Many of the guests were from Oakland or San Fran- cisco. Next morning the visitors were taken out for a trip on the bay in a gaso- line launch, which had two or three whitehalls in tow. On April 16, as already announced, tie California Yacht Club opens. There will be a low jinks in the evening at the club- house, and the first sail ‘n Sguadron of the season will take place nex: day. A. M. Clay's sloop Sea Fox and some others are ready. Admiral E. A. von Schmidt's Whirlwind will be on hand on the open- ing day, but may not be much seen dur- ing the season, as the admiral has in- terests in Alaska that may draw him away. ’I’h’e California Yacht Club's “ways" are not available for use at present, having been badly strained last season, when the Thelma was upon them; but they will probably be rebuilt during the summer. At present boats are hauled out on the sandspit. The new sloop Occident, owned by Messrs. Hager and Miller of West Oak- land, will be launched before the end of the month. She is a handsome boat of the overhang type, forty-one feet over all, with plenty of outside ballast to give her stability. She is expected to prove a fast boat. conditions to be the same as the pur- suit race won by the latter, but the Re- liance team would rather meet a team from some other club, and is open to a‘ P. sition.

To-day the truce will be broken, and the blue and gold and the cardinal will struggle on the Eighth and Harrison streets dia- mond in the initial game of a series of three. For four months the baseball men of both universities have been training for this event, and now they are ripe for | the encounter. Sheehan at Palo Alto and | Cochran at Berkeley are non-committal about the chances of thelr teams for vic- tory. Each displays a wise reserve, tinct- ured with a great heap of hope. In fact, the teams are pretty evenly matched. Neither nine has any great ad- vantage over the other in regard to bat- teries. In Kaarsberg California has per- haps the better pitcher, but he is by no | means phenomenal. His judgment is good, and more than that he exercises it | on the field. Beckett, the Stanford twirl- | er, has always shown to better alvantage | In inconsequential games than in the in- | tercollegiate matches. Stanford's other twirler, Lannigen, has been developed this year and is both unsteady and er- ratic. As to the fleld work, the general | impression is that California handles it- self In much cleaner fashion than its rival. The distinct advantage that Stan- | ford has over California is in the hitting abilities of the team. Last season the blue and gold sent a nine out to victory whose chief distinction rested upon a certain skill with the stick, which meant | a piling up of run after run in rapid | style. But this is now a dream of the past. The present aggregation of base- | ball men at Berkeley are not even ordi- | nary batters. A week ago in a game with | the alumni, Toby Allen in the box, Cali-| fornia merely secured a few scattered | hits. On the other hand, the cardinal has | a team of big men with better records in | stick work than the Californians. How- | ever, the strength fn ohe part is offsét by | weakness in another, the result being balance of forces. The game will take place at 3 o'clock at’ the Bighth and Harrison streets 44+ + + a Recreation grounds, The teams will line | up in the following positions: California. Position. Stanford. “atcher .Strohn itcher . kett or | Lannigan | First base.. -Young | .Second base. Third base. Short _stop Left fleld .. Center field . _Right field .. Two weeks from to-day the awalted field day will take place at the much- Olympic Club "grounds. California is training steadily for this day, which prom- ises to be iconoclastic as far as records are concerned. The performances of the Berkeley athletes on the college cinder path last Saturday presage some great athletic sport when the rival universities meet in dual combat on a neutral field. S G ANGLERS RETURNED WITH EMPTY CREELS Anglers were as thick on Paper Mill and Lagunitas creeks last Sunday as flies on a sugar cask, and as predicted in The Call the majority of them returned with comparatively empty creels. Trout are not so foolish as a mafjority of the first-day-of-the-season fishermen suppose. The stream waders soon discov- ered that on Sunday last and many of the disgusted ones quit the sport early in the day. Among the experienced whippers of fly and spoon the following ‘‘gentle ar- tists” returned home with tolerably nice baskets of trout: L. H. Pookman, J. Pel- tler and wife, F. Muller, H. Stoll, J. Watt, ‘W. Miller, Sydney Hall, J. B. Halstead, L. V. Merle, E. Baily and wife, J. Gibbs, E. Breidenstine, Charles Rosenberg, Howard C. Greene, Charles S. Darling, T. Murphy and Willlam Simpson. On Saturday, April 2, some very nice fish were taken from the creek. but on the following day they were scared so badly by the advance army of one-day-in- the-year fishermen that doubtless many a nice trout left the stream instanter for old ocean, At Point Reyes some nice trout were taken in tide water, but the big steei- heads played peek-a-boo with the strong arm and heavy pole bait casters. Fifty large fish were seen on Sunday morning | basking in the sun in the White .1ouse | pool, and not one of them would be April | fooled. When Frank Dolliver, the expert, gave up the task In disgust, then the prospects were decidedly poor for those ‘who hoped in vain to land a ten pounder. Patsy Dugan was the only man among the steelheaders who hooked anything with life in it. Patsy was makin~ a long spoon cast for a ‘‘whopper,” when his back line fouled a large Newfoundland dog that was watching the patient disci- les from a road just over the White g[ouse pool. The spoon hooks soon get the dog on the move, and Patsy’s reel sang the merriest song imaginabie. The ‘angler . followed, but the dog never stopped an instant, and it is hard to say if he has quit running vet. Dugan lost his entire outfit, but when ‘“joshed” by his companions he remarked "that if he had been successful in landing the dog it would have -been the first dog fish cap- tured on hook and line at Point Reyes. . Marcus, J. Lawrence, J. Butler, J. Mailon, H. Terry and C. Midieton enjoved a_beautiful outing last Sunday to Ukiah. They did not catch many fish, but what they lost in scales they made up for in a most pleasant ride to and from Ukiah. It is sald the Los Gatos Creek contains very few fish this year. GUN CLUBS WILL SHOOT TO-MORROW The Empire Gun Club, which is one of the flourishing organizations of this city, will'give magnificent prizes to the win- ners of the shoot which will be held to- | morrow at the Alameda Point grounds. In connection with the club shoots dur- ing the season there will be twenty-bird matches and class shooting over the Magau trn.g and open to amateurs. The prize is a hammerless gun valued at $50. . The Olympic Gun Club will meet at its hoot at live birds. > B Club will smash 8y, The South End Gun clays at Colma on the same day. s | been +EEE PP AP A A4 $ COURSING IS NOW 3 A GREAT OUTDOOR SPORT. P R R R R o o R S Lovers of good coursing should not fail to be present at Union and Ingleside parks to-day, as the fastest dogs in the State are entered to chase fur at both parks and particular attention has been devoted during the week to the weeding out of poor hares. With good dogs, good hares, good judging and good slipping, then coursing is truly a sport of kings. The men who make the game of cours- ing are fast bringing it to a plane previ- ously unheard of in the United States, and rivaling that of England. At a meet- ing of the Ingleside Coursing Club last Sunday evening, President Shannon in the chair, a decided innovation in the sport +t++++ +++ 44 | was proposed. It had been conceded that a special stake for hounds of exceptional quality would conduce to a further elevation of the pastime. But it was not deemed that a segregation of the winners of any num- ber of events into a class by themselves was advisable for the reason that before such a class could attain respectable size the first performers relegated thereto would have passed beyond the age of good work. Besides, the exclusion of the high-class stock from the ordinary events would detract from the incentive to prop- agate such stock, the motto being breed and weed. Consequently the matter was taken up on other lines, and a new class established, to be known as the Ingleside open champion challenge class. The initial stake n the new class will be run off at Ingleside on the first cf next month, and that the desired results will be accomplished is assured. In tha first place it will be cpen to 2!l dogs 4 owners, whether the latter be mambers of the club or not, and irrespe: of the dog’s winnings, thus barring no one. The entrance fee will be $10, and the event will embrace twenty-four nominations, which, with the added money, will bring the stake well above $800. The added en- trance money will insure the nomination of tried performers, and their quality will be further assured by the method of run- ning. The championship event will be a se- ries of courses in heats. The dogs, as us- ual, will be drawn and run in pairs. But before & winner n send his opponent finally to his kennels he must serve two flags out of three. - he leashmen are enthusia ation of the innc t it not only means a_ va: ger money to the winners, but will give each dog the fairest t. sible in a park. Moreover it in no terferes with the ordinary event fact, the usual monthly puppy stake will o be run on the day of its adoption and for the usual liberal pur: The coursing this week for big money both parks.

Tennis players are now looking toward the south for the scene of battle. On Friday next a tournament will be in- stalled on the courts of Ojai Valley Ten~ nis Club, which for the wealth of first- class tennis material already entered has never been equaled on this coast. It will be a battle of the north against the south and the flower of both sections will be there to fight for their standards. Strange to say, the southern champions have ig- nored the annual meets at San Rafael, where the coast championship tourna- ment is held yearly. Now for the first time the representative players of both north and south will cross rackets in acs tual combat. The reputation of the north on the courts will be upheld by the Hardy and the Whitney brothers, the four topmost players on the coast at present. The ble to .south will have as its standard bearers W. J. Cravens of Yale and other places; F. Rowan, a tennis adept of southern education; Picher of Stanford, and some fourth player to fill the place left vacant by the declination of Freeman, who was originally selected to make the quartet. The most likely fourth man is Bumiller, formerly tennis champion of Stanford University. s Tt will be a “Round Robin” tourna- ment, in which each player meets every other one. Then by a siftin= process the championship match _finally works its way to the surface. This match will be played on the second day of the tourna- ment and will precede the doubles tour- nament. At _the Californla Tennis Club grounds a ladies’ doubles tournament, which com- menced early In the week and was com- pleted Wednesday, was won by Misses foftman and Mason. The finals between the winning team and Misses Bowman and Hunter were very closely contested. The singles tournament is not yet con- cluded. Miss Hoffman and Miss Hunter are in the finals, and they will play the Mmatch off a week from Monday. Great Benevolences.
