8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1898 D g o S A o o e e e e 1 MEN WHO ARE 3+ z EXPERT E!. + WITH A RIFLE. * + R e R TR The second grand shooting festival of the National Schuetzen-Bund of America, wi take place at the Glendale hich will Shooting Park, Long Island, from July 3 to July 11, is attracting more attention among the local rifle men this year than ever before. There are two reasons for this. The first is that many more of California’s sharpshooters are going East | to attend the festival than ever before, and the second is that a strong effort will be made to have the next Bund fes- tival held in this city. These gather- ings do not take place every year, but every three years, and they are the occa- sion of drawing together all of the finest rifiemen of the United States and Europe. It stands to reason. then, that the prizes offered are large. In the coming event | over $25,000 is offered in cash, besides in- | numerable premiums, medals, cups and | other prizes. The association has a guar- anteed fund of $20 The Bund does nothing by half. In the coming festival there are seven or more events and the cash prizes run from $2| to $500, to say nothing of the premiums, | etc. While the majority of the matches | are for the members of the clubs belong- ing to the Bund, st v matches where . indivicual, rifiemen can take part bers in the E they take mu prizes of no ) | example, | sets of pic- por’ rly all of the rifle clubs of tt are members and a fair rep the ddle West.

There is still another element that must | be taken into consideration—the riflemen of Europe. At every one of these big shooting festivals the crack shots from | the larger cities of England and the Con- tinent can be found, putting forth their best efforts to best the marksmen of the Western continent. Money or prize | with them is not so much the object as the honor of superior marksmanship. The shooters of the Pacific Coast feel that they are able to hold their own with the best shots in the world, and from the | sentiment displayed at the meeting of the representatives of the clubs there is also a feeling that they can make the visitors from the East and across the sea believe that Californians are the most hos; people on top of the earth.

Some unnecessary excitement has been aroused by the comments made by | some alleged sporting scribes on the charges made by Colonel C. B. Knocker | against the Pacific advisory board. These | comments display a total ignorance of | kennel matters on the’coast, and more | particularly of the workings of the Amer- | ican Kennel Club. The facts of the case | are these: The Pacific advisory hoard, as at pre constituted, contains 4 | number of discordant elements, all at cross purposes, and consequently tends to promote discord, instead of harmony | among the Pacific speclalty and kenne clubs.” Colonel Knocker, who Is acting | under {nstructions from the San Fran- cisco Kennel Club, of which he fs the delegate, proposes to reform the presemt advisory board out of existence, The next thing in order will then be the ap- pointment by the American Kennel Club of such delegates from the coast clubs as will constitute a harmonious _body to regulate local kennel affairs. Every fancier, who has the interests of the doj truly at heart, must wish that the colonel will be successful in his effort. Emmet Sullivan of nlo Park’ has glven notice to the American Kennel Club that the name of his newly acquired fox terrier, Elwood Check, has been changed to Menlo Check. Mr. Sullivan claims registration under the new title. Check has arrived in fine fettle and looks ever: mdl‘) the dog he has been ‘“‘cracked up™ to_be.

The Pioneers, Arfels and South Ends will throw their quarters _open to the rowing men; the Dolphin Boat Club will send over several crews, and the Tritons, who rarely make ublic appearances, will row over to do onors to the occasion.

In July, 1884, Ziegler knocked McKeever out in three rounds, but in 1896 McKeever won from Ziegler in a six-round bout; In the subsequent year they met twice and fought six rounds each time without a decision. Ziegler is, however, a most tricky fel- ow, who cannot be depended upon. He did not leave a good impression on the sporting fraternity of this city. McKeever met the erratic Griffo twice. In April, 1896, he fought the Australian twenty rounds, the contest being declared n his favor, and on September 7, 1897, they fought fifteen rounds at Athens, Pa., which bout was declared a draw. McConnell met Griffo in the Olympic Club of this city and the large number of people who witnessed the contest spoke very highly of the local boxer, whose de- fense was élarl!cularly clever. It is said, however, that Griffo did not extend him- self on this occasion and good judges did not hesitate to say after the mill that Griffo fought to lose by a small margin, as he had an object In view. Be that as it may, McConnell proved beyond argument that he i{s made of the right stuff, and should give a very good account of himeelf in the best of com- pany.

The pre- liminary to this fight will consist of & ten-round contest between Young Peter Jackson (colored) and Frank Purcell.

A hint to the wise should be sufficient. The Manhattan Athletic Assoclation has completed arrangements for a boxing car- nival to be held at Eintracht Hall on evening, June 30. The pro- gramme, as follows, Is to decide the light and bantam champlonships of the Pacific Coast: Jimmy Anthony vs. Fred Renick, fif- teen rounds; Bud Terry vs. hid McFad- den, six rounds; Lon Agnew vs. Fred Muller, fifteen rounds, The Alpine Athletic Club of 28 Golden Gate avenue will give its monthly exhl bition on Tuesday evening next. The pri cipal event will be an eight-round con- test for a valuable club trophy between Pat Lynch of the Excelsior Club and Joe ane of the Alpine Club— 145 pounds. Also a six-round bout be- tween D. A. Carroll of the California Swimmingand Athletic Club and E. Dahl, “The Butcher Boy"—130 pounds. The Excelsior Athletic’ Club will hold its next regular monthly exhibitionr on Monday, June 20, at Teutonia Hall, 1322 Howard street. The principal events will be eight-round boxmiz contests be- tween Jimmy Riley of the Excelsior Club and Charley Reno of the Olympic Club, at 128 pounds, for the lightweight ama. teur championship of the Pacific Coast and a valuable trophy.

Though the San Francisco Club has a goodly number | of yachts on its roll and plenty of good fellows among its officers and members, it unfortunately has very little club spirit. Though the wind was light last Satur- day evening, the flagship Cygnus, keeping to the El Campo shore, got up to McNears and cast anchor in the little cove near the pavilion at about 10 p. m. F. A. Bartlett's sloop Queen, just returned from a two weeks' crulse up the river, was lyin anchor there. The pavillon was lighted uf;, and the guests were made at home by Mr, and Mrs. George McNear. Soon Allen M. Clay’'s Sea Fox of the California Yacht Club came in, and later A. Sutherland’s Catherine of the San Francisco Yacht Club and the sloop Cupid of the Corin- thian Yacht Club. After a few dances, G. McNear kindly took several of the visit- ors out for a trial in his launch. On their return a little supper was served. On board the sloop Cygnus were Com- modore Dr. T. L. Hill and Mrs. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Monro, Miss Kate Kerri- an, C. Rieveley and Arthur Inkersley. ?here being no wind at all on Sunday morning, the party rambled ashore to the Chinese shrimp-fishers’ village. At about 1:30 p. m. Allen M. Clay’'s Sea Fox, which had made an unsuccessful attempt to get out the night before, salled away, fol- lowed by f Sutherland’s Catherine and the sloop Cupid. F. A. Bartlett's Queen and Dr. T. L. Hill's Cygnus were last to leave. Near Quarry Cove, Angel Island, G. B. Edgar’s sloop Sappho and G. F. Gaither’s sloop U & 1 were met and sa- luted. To-day and to-morrow are open days upon the programme of the Franciscos. The next cruise is to Marin Islands, on the 18th and 19th, ‘Arthur D. Naylor's sloop Twilight, af- ter bein ainted, scraped and generally tvernanfed, came " off the “ways’ af Menotti’s last week, and took her first cruise on Sunday. She is a beamy craft, about thirty-five feet over all, of light draught, and very strongly bullt; an ex- cellent boat for general cruising, and work in creeks. Yesterday her owner, accompanied by ‘White, vice- commodore of the Ban Franciscos, and one or two friends, left Seusalito for a nine days’ cruise; they propose to go first to Mare Island, thence up the Napa Creek to Napa City; down the creek and up the Sacramento River. Frank A. and Mrs. Bartlett had a_ de- lightful two weeks’' cruise in the sloop Queen, spending three or four days at Suisun, getting up to Courtland on the Sacramento iver, and enjoying some fine salling through the sloughs. Mec- Nears Landing was reached on Friday the 3, and on Bunday the Queen returned to_her moorings at Sausalito. The Corinthians had a cruise to the Petaluma drawbridge set down for last Saturday and Sunday. Commodore Carl Westerfeld's !loog Aeolus, W. 8. Grover's yawl Arcturus, ¥. F.

Tom Flynn and other anglers, who are fond of heavy-weight sport, will try their luck this month on the McCloud at sal- mon fishing. The salmon will take a spoon or a large, gaudy fly and battles of an hour and more are common; fre- quently the king of the river cleans the angler out of all line and tackle. Fish Commissioner Vogelsang states that the Paper Mill, or, rather, the head. waters of Lagunitas Creek, will posi- tively be stocked with thousands of trout fry before the end of July. Anglers ap- preciate anything that the Commission- ers will do looking to their future pleas- ure. It will not be lawful for anglers to catch black bass until July 1. The out- look is very good for early fishing on Russian River. W. Bogard visited the Truckee River last Sunday and reports having had first- class sport spooning for trout near Verdi. Although it is a little early for good fly fishing on Truckee the salmon and red- ant flies are becoming plentiful, and that is a sign of excellent Sy fishing near at hand. Mr. Bogard reports that market fishermen have been shipping large quan- April, d Kolb, the ex-champlon. wrestler and all round good fellow, is at present camp- ed on the banks of the Klamath River, near Shovel Creek.

Judge Mogan declined to ac- cede to the request and Instructed Detec- tive Egan to swear to both complaints. 3:; cases were then comtinued till Mon- titles of trout from Verdi, Florriston and | Reno to this city and Sacramento since | | | tore June 26, will be devoted to a reception for lad- ies; then will follow the Ariel Rowing Club regatta, after which the members and visitors will repair to the South End boathouse for music and refreshments. The Olympic minstrels have promised thelr services, and other talented per- formers will entertain the company. The president of the day will be D. J. Shee- han. Invitations have been issued to all the other boat clubs, and the inten- tion is to make the gathering a notable and interesting one, The programme of races is as follows: 1.

Mialmo and Blackette meet at Uulon Park to-day for the third time. Twice Mialmo has won.
