Captains will re- port on.board the flagship at 10 o’clock on Sunday’ morning. This is the third an- nual cruise of the assoclation and there is every prospect of its being highly suc- cessful.

Mr. Yale, The South Bay Yacht Club held its first annual regatta last Sunday over a twen- ty-two-nille course, starting ‘ from the mouth of the estuary. The officials in charge of the race were as follows: Judge Charles R. Barker; time-keepe S. G. Tompkins and Thomas McTiernan; starter, F. E. Coykendall; captain of stakeboat, A. Meads; measurer, Willlam Ortley. The following yachts entered: Commodore J. McKee's Wanderer, Vice Commodore Spencer’s Rana, Captain Ea ton's. Feufollet, J. E.

THE = CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TOURNAMENT The eleventh annual lawn tennis tour- nament. of the -Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association-of the United States Lawn- Tennis . Assoctation {s now in progress at San Rafael. The warring fac< tions, each determined to have its own tournament, compromised, and the weaker gave way to the stronger, with a few tacit reservations.. The first day's work on the Hotel Rafael courts was given over to preliminaries. To-day. the more . im- portant matches.of the tournament will be played. The competition in tennis ‘for honors is not so strong as in former years. The rivalry between the old Oakland club and the California club of this city was so.in- tense that the members of each ‘would go into active training for the big tourna- ‘ment ‘at San Rafael, which was always an event of some magnitude, both-from an athletic and a social standpoint. Of late years the first-class players have nar- rowed down to four men, two. pairs of Dbrothers. - Walter Magee and. George Bradshaw are ranked as first-class. men, but they are just kept. out of that class by the narrowest of margins. So it is that the present tournament, from _an athletic standpoint, is not the event that it formerly was. As far as the merit of playing goes,. the Hardys and the Whit- neys surpass in.quality the playing: of any former. champions. “Wililam Taylor, who for some years held the championship of the . coast,” was at his best an inferior player when compm‘ed with these mén. The drawing of the tournament at San Rafael will find. the two Hardys contest- ing one another before- either mvets his San Francisco rival, Robért N. W hitne It s never safe (q prejudge a tem F eir playing is of such an even quality that Nither is.likely to prove the wimner. Both Sam and Sumner have -been ‘before thé. ublic stnce 1891, when they ‘were young. oys, and but seldom have -they experi- enced deféat by an outsider. This year one Wwill have to surrender before the final is reached. Whether it will be Sam ar Sumner who will. meet Robert W] Kney 1s a matter of reat uncertainty. = {wm not ‘defend ‘the g George Whitne; championship which he won last year. He Lz out of condition and has not been feel-. ing well of late. This is to be regretted; as‘a match.between thé" winner of the tourniment and.

Young, who is the originator of the Columbia targe which received third choice in the vo ing contest for a standard target when it was scarce a vear old, proposes to do some missionary work among the East- ern marksmen. The Columbia target has aiready been adopted by many of the clubs on this coast, the Northwest and not a few in the States. He will have a hard time to con- vert those who have become wedded to the standard American and German 2: ring targets.

AMONG THE KENNELS v AND HIGH CLASS DOGS The local kennel world is much amused at a contretemps of which F.Van Sicklen is the victim. - The event. which has ardused the risibilities of the fanciers is.a whelping of a phenomenal natiiré achieved {: by that gentleman's English setter bitch, Van's Belle. It appears that Van's Belle was sent to Pleasanton to the Verona ken- nels to' be bred to John E: de: Ruyter’s: crack Ernglish setter dog, Count Glad- stone IV. The unlon was felicitously ac-. complished, so it was supposed, and Belle was Teturned to_her owner.

Elther English setters are exceptions o nature’s laws or—well, the Verona kennels are, anyhow, noted for thelr. Scotch collies. Still, it’ does seem remarkable, to say the least, that two thoroughbréd English setters should pro- duce a progeny of Borzois-headed Scotch. collies. Which is it, the lady or the tiger? The agitation among the. collie club members for helding field trials of col- | lies is gtflnlnF strength, and it is probable that an early ‘attempt will be made. to carry thelgroeusltlon to a successful con- clusion. will. enter four dogs that local celebrity.
