N L T e T T e The revival of interest In cycle racing is shown by the number of men in train- ing for the big meet at San Jose on Ad- mission day, September 9, to be held in conjunction with the Native Sons' cele- bration. There have already been s into the managers of the meet, the Gar- den City Wheelmen, a larger number of advance entries than is usual, with many who are known to be training vet to be heard from. The stars of the meet will probably be Wing, “Bunt’” Smith, Fuller, Ross, Dayidson and Treadwell, with per- haps the additfon of Gooch and A. T. Smith. The Garden City Wheelmen have about given up the idea of having a match race between Wing and some other good rider, as the other man, the equal of Wing, is hard to find, now that Peck has given up racing. “Bunt” Smith might be induced to go on.

The Del Monte courts were favored by many, but now it assured that San Rafael will be lity for the championshir games. The three bay clubs will send in their quotas in the latter part of next week. This afternoon at the California Club | courts there will be a doubles tournament. Every Saturday tournaments of an im- promptu order have been played, and the interest manifested in them has been of no mean quantity. George Whitney, Kil- garift, Werner Stauf, Colonel Linderman, ‘Walter McGavin, Da Blanchard, George Smith, Buchley, Harvey Walter and Dr. Root have entered thelr names for a doubles tournament to-day. pairing off in teams will not take place until the tournament is called. 'Eh e ‘tournaments are usually stake events. The players make a pool and the winners take the prize, whatever it amounts to. A dinner and ‘'some soclal pleasantries usually follow. To-morrow there will be a doubles tour- nament at_the Bellevue Tennis Club of Alameda. The club’s doubles teams will | enter and the tournament will be open to | Alameda City. Some line may be had on | the possible representatives of the club | for the championship event at San Rafael after this Alameda tournament is finished. During the week, at the California Ten- nis Club, George Whitney and Dr. Root beat Joe Daily and Harvey Walter. Score: 62, 68, 63 Robert N. Whitney and Joe Dally played an exciting match, In_which each took a set. George Whitriey beat Dr. Root: 8—6. Walter has just challenged George Whitney for a match in singles to be viaved in the near future, The California Club’s grounds have been | retouched during the week. The courts have been painted and a general renova. tion has brightened up the place consid- erably. The lady players have not been atronizing the courts during the last few avs. Miss Mason, the new champion, is the only lady player who has been on the courts this week. HANDBALL AMONG JUVENILE PLAYERS Handball is picking up again and in the near future some very interesting games will be played. To-morrow the following players will put in an appear- ance in Phil Ryan’s court on Howard. street: W. R. Borlinl and W. H. Sieberst vs. W. H. Kedian and S. V. Costello; J. White and E. Curley vs. J.

All enjoyed themselves highly and received the best treatment from the Astorians.

Already three handsome trophies, known as the Law cup, the Delegates’ cup and the Macdonough cup, are in the hands of the association, and provision will be made for a fourth. The winning yacht in each class will get a championship flag as well, and the second yacht will receive a mug, with a suitable inscription. A handsome design has been chosen for the Macdonough cup, upon which the association flag, now containing six stars, will be enameled in blue and Each club in the association will be essed $30. Some amendments to the constitution, by-laws and racing rules were accepted at the meeting of the as- sociation held on ‘Wednesday night. A circular will be issued in a few days to vacht-owners by the secretary with re- gard to the Admission day regatta.

But the dogs that win at Ingleside this week will needs show the hottest kind of form. Cronin has at Union Park that ‘was once Ca St. Patrick, later The Celt, and to-d is known as Wild Tralee. If the youngster does not win this week he should be given a handful of earth from the Irish fair. Rock Island Boy and Victor King, pup- ples owned by Russell & Wilson, are run- ning at Union Park to-day for the first time since their arrival on the coast. As both have been here for several weeks they should be prepared to show their ality. he number of canine candidates now- adays seeking entry at the two parks is suggestive of the political situation. At least thirty were unable to obtain en- try at Ingleside this week and many were also left out at Union Park. Money has done it. The coast and, in fact, the entire country has been scoured for dogs. Every available dog has been bred and the pupples reared for racers. The ken- nels are crowded until, even with two parks running to their full capacity, two coursing a week will not permit all to run as often or half as often as is, by their owners, desired. In the long odds book for the open stake at Union Park, Cavaller, Theron, Right Bower and Maud S appear to have the call. Firm Friend is also in the game. A year ago this week the totzal money avallable for the dog owners was $190 and the number of dogs entered was thirty-six. The number of dogs running at the two parks to-day is 176 and the total money is almost ten times $190. The course between Connemara and BI)]?’ Gladstone, which constituted the final in the champion stake at Ingleside last Sundu‘/. but was not run on account of fog, will be pulled off to-morrow just before lunch. The tajent, as Is natural, can see nothing but Connemara, but the pu: i puppy s not to be despised by any means. Ralph Taylor, accompanled by Joe Spencer, arrived from the Bast last Wednesday with a string of eleven flyers from beyond the mountains. Among the number are Hughey (a half brother to For Freedom), Nick Irvin, Bonfire, Mas- ter Denmark, Scattercust, a Winning Style sapling and several other young- sters. They expect to winter on the coast. The A and B kennels are showing a famous performer at Unfon Park this week in Kentish Girl. She is an Eng- lish importation and in the mother land of coursing is said to_have been classed with For Freedom. She arrived In the clty one week ago last Thursday. In her trial work she has shown aquaiity, but she can hardly be expected to show her trye quality for another week or two, Arthur Massey has sent East for a string of fourteen saplings. They will reach the coast between the 1st and 5th of October.

There will be three races, one-half mile unpaced, one mile single paced, and five- miles tandem paced, winner of two out of three to be victor in the match. A mile handicap open to all will also be put on, probably, to cater to the outside riders. J. E.

Kraft of the Bay City V\'hn%\nen left for the East last Tuesday morning, and will try the long-distance racing game there, with good chances of success. George W. Humphrey of the Acme Club has been appointed a member of the road racing committee of the Assoclated Clubs, vice J. 8. Shedd, resigned. Mr. Shedd leaves for the East in a few days to make his home there permanently. The California Cycling Club will hold another of its popular ladies’ nights next Monday evening, August 29. This form of entertainment has proven very at- tractive to the members, and will be a regular monthly feature during next win- ter. Frank E. Richardson, an ex-Bay Cit; wheelman, has gone to Honolulu on busi- ness. L. A. Peckham, who was captain of the Reliance Club Wheelmen several years ago and very prominent in Oakland cycling circles, returned on the Moana from a two years’ absence in Australia. Mr. Peckham was glad to get back, and spent all day yesterday and Thursday about the city, renewing old acquaint- ances. He expects to go East In a few days. The Moana also brought advices from Harry Austin Goddard, who is trav- eling in Australia for the Cleveland peo- ple. In a letter he speaks of being very much impressed with the sporting in- stinets of the people at the antipodes, and no longer wonders why a horse or bicycle race draws from 25,000 to 40,000 people on a Saturday afternoon. With this immense attendance they are in a position to of- fer immense prizes and secure the best talent. They are behind the Americans in track improvements, however, for the “Austral” andicap, the great race of the year, is run on a grass track, one- third of a mile In circumference and not banked an inch. To Goddard, who had a distinct recollection of sliding down the steep banks of the old cement track at Central Park and breaking his collar- bone, this seemed strange and it looked as if trick riding would discount speed. The Capital City Wheelmen hope soon to have negotlations settled whereby they will be assured of having their track, re- cently destroyed by fire, rebuilt. Three- fourths of the track remains intact. It will be necessary to wholly reconstruct the scratch straightaway and the grand stand, and about one-third of the high fencing. The insurance money will cover most of the cost of reconstruction, and the club hopes the electric railway com- any will see its way clear to put up the galance. The chances are in favor of its doing so. Thg annual meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen will be held next Thursday evening, September 1. Reports of officers and committees will be read, and a nomi- nating committee elected to name the of- ficers for the succeeding term. P. G.

The Alameda club will give a reception next Saturday to S. J. Pembroke, who worked hard to get the best representa- tives of the bay clubs up to Astorla, and to the members of the senior barge crew. Two delegates from each of the clubs represented at Astoria will draft resolu- tions to be sent to the Astoria committee in urprm‘lmlon of their generous reception of the visitors. At the semi-monthly meeting of the Alameda Boat Club, held last Tuesday, it was declded to set aside G0 per cent of the income to form a fund for the purchase of new boats. Two appii- cations for membership were received. Electric light poles have been erected, T. J. HOPKINS. and the club house will soon be iitted with wires and lamps. The Junior oars- men are practicing regularly, and bid fair to make a f°°d barge crew. B. Gulld is_working well. M. Breen and J. Lyons of the Sourh Ends are training for the Junior _sKiff championship, and the Junior barge crews are practicing. After a month's practice the barge crews will be triel out, and the four best men selected. An intermediate barge crew will probably be formed by T. Barry, who rowed in the champlonship Junior crew in 1895. The club “will try to purchase a skift in which Dr. C. C. Dennis may defend the champlonship. F. Duplissea and J. Fo- ley will uphold the honor of the South Ends in the Senior shell race. Early next month the club will give a dinner to its representatives at the As- toria regatta. On November 1 an enter- tainment will be given at Uulon square Hall to raise money for *the completion of the handball court in the club house. At the meeting last Tuesday Dr. J. P.

Several members of the Olympic Boat Club being on their vacations, the pro- osal to establish the club on a new ‘ooting has been allowed to drop for the present, but will be taken up later. Lit- tle has been done lately at the Tiburon boat house, as the barge is being put into repalr, scraped and varnished. The 'Dolphins have sustained a great loss by the death of T. J.

The regatta will be under_ the management of the regatta committee, which consists of J. H. Hopps, P. J. Martenstein and W. F. Dixey. In addition to the usual flags, two prizes— probably cups—will be offered. The Encinal ladies’ cruise to San Mateo, originally set for June 4 and 5, but post- poned on account of the inabllity of the otel Mateo to provide suitable accom- modation on those days, will grob&bly take place on September 3, 4 and 5.

The members of the San Francisco club realize that they have | no walkover in this match, as the Brook- Iyn club has on its roll of seventy mem- bers some of the best revolver shots in the country. About twenty of this East- ern organization are physicians and they all meet twice a week and practice and hold contests on an indoor range, shoot- ing ten, fifteen and twenty yards. As many of the members of that club are now practicing for a team match with a Cincinnati club, they will be in fine form to make things lively for their Cal- ifornia opponents. All of the details of the match have not as yet been arranged. Two points, however, have been decided. The Col- umbia men, who always shoot on the fifty-yard outdoor range will shoot at the Brooklyn men’s distance—twenty yards— rovided the latter will shoot on the ‘olumbia target. The Brooklynites wanted to have each team consist of only three men, for they have that many “nail drivers” in their club, but the Col- umbia’s representations insisted that the teams should be from seven to ten men each, so as to give the average marks- man a chance. Of the members of the Columbia Club who can hold a" steady revolver and can be relied upon in a match, there are F. O. Young, J. E. Gorman, A. H. Pape, Ed Hovey, C. M. Daiss, Howard Carr, Smith Carr, Dr. L. O. Rodgers, F. E. Mason and a few others, but for some time past they have neglected to practice with this firearm, In the coming match the club will miss a fine shot in A. B. Dorrell, who will be llrll the southern part of the State at that me. There Is a strong desire on the part of the Columbia’'s men to have the match shot with full service charges of powder, as they believe that shooting light weight or gallery charges is more like child’'s play than revolver work. It is feared that the Eastern team .will kick against being confineds to full service charges, as many have made their best records on the short ranges with heavy revolvers loaded with little firecracker charges. The English, at least those who met recently on the range at Bisley, Insist upon full charge ammunition, and that is-said to be why Walter Winans, one of the best revolver shots of the East, did not attend the meeting at Bisle; this year. C. S. Axtell of the Smith Wes- son Revolver Club ii an exponent of heavy ammunition, and he was very suc- cessful, tying Lieutenant Lowther of the Scot Guards for first place In the twenty- yard match recently at stationary target.

CRICKETERS HONOR A DEAD COMRADE A communication has been received from the secretary of the Honolulu Cricket Club, in which he says that the letter of the California Cricket Associa- tion will be placed before his club at its next meeting, to be held shortly. The association has promised to do all in its power to render a visit of cricketers from Hawail to this State pleasant, but it can= not undertake to render it remunerative. In the present depressed condition of cricket in California it would not be pos- sible to attract a sufficient attendance at a match to render the hiring of an inclosed ground profitable. But players who are looking for an agreeable trip can cer- tainly get it. Matches can be arranged in San Francisco, Placer County, Lake- oxitl. San Jose, and probably at Burns alley. The committee appointed to draft reso- lutions relative to the death of the late A. E. Coates, for four years one of the vice-presidents of the association, as erformed its task, and copies of the reso- Futions have been forwarded to Mrs. Coates and to the Placer County Cricket Club. The resolutions were as follows: “Whereas intelligence has been received of the passing away on the 19th day of July, 1898, of A. E. Coates, for several Vears one of the vice-presidents of the California Cricket Association; be it “Resolved, That as an assoclation we hereby express our profound regret for the loss of one of the most widely known and respected cricketers in the State of California. Allied with our sorrow at his loss there is the melancholy gratification of being able to place on our records the fact that our friend was one of the men of ‘whom it can be said, ‘His word was as 0od as his bond.” He was kind and cour- geous to all with whom he was brought in contact, either In business or social rela- tions. “Resolved, That the secretary of the association record this testimony in mem- ory of our late colleague upon the min- QUtes of the assoclation, and that a copy thereof me sent to the family of the de- ceased and to the Placer County Cricket Club.
