BERNARD AND COLLIES The proposition to hold a bench show of St. Bernards and eollies seems to be taking definite shape. ldeas, however, have expanded, like the American po sessions since Dew boomed “Old Glory in Manila Bay. It is now proposed to hold f au non-sporting dogs early in December, under the auspices of the | Specially clubs remaining loyal to the American Kennel Club. The Fox Terrier, St. Bernard and Mastiff clubs will unite in the project, and it is understood that the rancisco Kennel Club will lend powerful aid. The probabilities are that George Bell of Menlo Park will be in- vited to judge. The danger of overworking candidates for field trial honors is so grave that owners may well take warning from John E. de Ruyter's late unfortunate exp ence. That gentleman, with a couple of friends, was out among the canyons near Pleasanton last Sunday, hunting the fes- tive quall. He had a couple of his se ters with him, one being the well-known Gleam’'s Ruth. This bitch is an inde- fatigable hunter, ranges freely and is thoroughly stanch and reliable. It was a hot day and Ruth, suddenly most with- out warning, keeled over. It was as bad a case of sunstroke as could well over- take a dog, and it has been possible, only by dint of unremitting care and attention, to save her life. Ruth is now out of danger, but is still extremely weak. The directors of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Association meet this afternoon to decide on the stakes to be run and the judge to be selected. It is almost a fore- gone conclusion that Mr. Merriman will again be invited to flil the latter office, the preference of a majority of the mem- bers being loudly expressed in his favor. It is nearly settled that in addition to the Derby and all-age, a members’ stake will be offered, to be limited to members of the Pacific Coast Fleld Trials Associa- tion only, and also a champion stake, to condst of two-hour heats. This latter stamina. Distemper has appeared in the Menlo Mr. Bell has received an offer to resume the management; if he ac- cepts there can be no doubt that the ase will soon be stamped out. Dr. . W. d’Evelyn is galning fame and lory by his lectures in New York on his iscovery of *“Equisine.” He has also been the recipient of many invitations to be the guest of the different Eastern kennel associations, and a special meet- ing of the American Kennel Club execu- tive committee is to be held in his honor. Mr. Vredenburgh will, at last, hear the views of the Pacific Coast expounded by an ardent Californian. The doctor has quite @ habit of speaking his mind, and, on this occasion, will doubtless say what he thinks. . Ben Bryan of Alameda is about to send his Great Dane bitch, Queen Olga, to Tuckahoe, N.

If the club athletes sink before the onslaughts of the college men it will be their fourth unbroken de- feat, and there is every possibility of it happening, although the scor will be smaller than any of the preceding games. At Palo Alto there is just a tinge of sable to the football atmosphere, for things are not what they should be. The eleven has made no great progress dur- ing the week—in fact, it has gone back slightly, as the match game on Thurs- day afternoon with the soldiers will at- test.

The the | letter reads: STANFORD UNIVERSITY, October 21. There never has been In the annals of foot- ball history at Stanford a week of practice that contained more discouragement to those who watch the football squad for signs of ir ovement. The play throughout has been list- less and slumpish. The lin ful disappointment, and there s a strong sen- timent that most of the men now holding center places on the first team should be sup- planted, even if new men must be developed at e day. The center trio, Blanchard Bigelow and James, have failed to do effective work when the opportunities have been pre- sented. This weakness at center was particu- has proved a w George P. Fuller of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, one of the fastest riders on the coast, if not the fastest behind pace, will make another attempt at lowering records to-morrow on the Elmhurst track. About a month ago Fuller made some rec- ord trials on the three-lap track at San Jose and secured three. To-morrow he will try to lower some of his own exist- ing marks and such others as he feels able to negotiate. He will try for all dis- tances up to five miles, tandem paced, and is reasonably sure of adding some more scalps to his belt. The Olymplc Wheelmen are conducting the record-breaking contest, and there will be a large gathering of wearers of the flying “O" to witness the attempts. Some club races will also be put on to fill in the gaps while Fuller is resting up betweeen trials. The events will start at 10 a. m. The Associated Cycling Clubs’ theater arty at the Tivoli on Wednesday even- ng, November 2, is just now interesting the club wheelmen considerably. This annual event serves to bring together all the various factions, and is an evening of much pleasure to the riders. Jules F. Hancock is chairman of the committee in THE PIGSKIN THE FOCUS OF SPORT. i (T KAARSBERG Practicing Drop Kicks on the Gridiron at Berkeley. | slump is due in some respects to the re- grettable accidents that have been the portion of the cardinal eleven during the past two weeks, ever since thefr last en- gagement with the Olympics in San Fran- cisco. ‘Three of the best men on the ved on account of injuries— Burmeister, Wilson and Dole—the result of which is a weakening of the line and gross crippling to the back fleld. With Dole and Burmeister on the side lines the quartet of backs is reduced to a duo, leaving Fisher and Murphy to bear the brunt of the labors. Fisher, who cap- tains the team and plays right half, is the one man on the Stanford team who is playing what is usually called remark- able ball. His efforts are untiring and his energy in working up the team to its proper consistency will show good results before many weeks have passed, though for the present the team is not playing | the kind of ball it should. The most noticeable weakness of Palo Alto contingency of the line. Accustomed for many years to the possession of a center trio which in weight, strength and experience was incomparably better than any opposition ever offered it, the team seems lost in the deep sea with the present center men the who are not extraordinarily weak, but only so by comparison with what has gone befor Most of the gains were made through the center in the fateful game with the team which wore the col ors of the lowa regiment. It is still early in the season, and this center will in all probability elop Into a fairly strong trio before the season is over. At any rate it will not be very far behind that which will fight for the blue and gold on Thanksglving day. ‘Across the bay on the Berkeley campus another victory has been added to t glowing list of the Varsity. A score of i3 Points against the Kansas Regiment's eleven is a good showing and has caused considerable jubilation among the stu- dents. Cochran has certainly done work with his football aspirants and he is continuing the hard dalily practice to which they are subjected. Stanford is not alone in accidents to players. Hopper, who injured his knee a few weeks ago, is suffering severely and will probably not play for many days to come. What wais at first thought to be a trifling acci- dent has developed into an aggravated case of water on the knee, confining the quarterback to his bed. Hopper was playing a good strong game in his posi- tion, handling the team in splendid style and adding much strength to the defen- sive play on the line. His loss will be great to the blue and gold n. To fill his place it may be necessary to take Thane from halfback and play him as quarter. He has experience and possesses just the qualities for the posi- tion. The other men, Kerfoot and Woolf, are practically novices, though Keerfoot has been playing for two years. Should Thane go in_at quarter that will leave the right half for Smith and McNab and as there is some thought of playing Mc- Nab tackle, Smith will practically be alone for this position. Kaarsberg has been playing at his place in the far back field, his kicking Improving slowly and his tfunning in about the same degree. The Olympics are at their quiet signal Prncllce and feel a mite better in spirit. 'fhe eleven, which the club men put on the field last Saturday, was the strongest it has mustered up to date. Hobbs was there and it made a difference. There is ust a chance that he will play to-day. It 1e does he will be in better condition and the same gaps which he tore up in the California line will be reproduced with a cardinal coloring this afternoon. Other- wise the Olympic lineup will be the same with the possible exception of a change at right end, where Middlemas may be found instead of McNutt, who has not proved much of an addition to the Olym- pic eleven. It is hardly probable that the same un- pleasant features which marred the game a week ago will be seen on_the field this afternoon. Men who saw Butte play in their roughest games declare that the match last Saturday was as replete with slogging, holding, and general foul play as was ever witnessed on the fcy fields of Montana, where general mixups are common. The Olympics shift the onus url)n the Californians and the Califor- nians on the ciub men. Such exhibitions of football, it was thought, belonged to the davs gone by.

Hill has issued a postal card to the members of the San Francisco Yacht Club, announcing the postponement of the minstrel per- formance which was to have been given at the clubhouse at Sausalito on Octo- ber 29 for the benefit of the club. The postponement was rendered necessary by the political engagements of several of those who had promised their services, by the Good Roads parade and other counter attractions. The yachting\sea- gon will, therefore, end to-day, and the closing cruise will be taken to-morrow. A starting gun will be fired at 11:15 a. m., and further signals will be given from the flagship. On Sunday, October 30, Commodore Hill will sail the sloop Cyg- nus to the Corte Madera creek and lay | her up for the winter. minstrel show will be given later, either in the clubhouse at Sausalito or in a large hall in this city, probably on No- vember 19. Vice Commodore G. T. S. The postponed White will attend the Corinthian closing | jinks to-day. Last Sunday the Corinthians held the last upper bay cruise of the season. The Corinthians will hold their closing Jinks at Tiburon this evening. After the regular Corinthian dinner the show will begin. There will be songs by Thompson, Ben Tarbox, Oscar Franks, B. Mitchell, J. Cathcart, the Finnie broth- ers and D. McLaughlin; guitar playing by the Nounan brothers; bBanjo playing and other items. There will also display of lantern slides. The building of the new boat house has progressed, and much of the lumber that was piled around has been cleared away. who wish to return to the city to-night can take the freight boat from Tiburon. To-morrow, if there i{s any breeze, the fleet will start about 11 in the mornin, for a cruise along the water front an toward the heads. On Sunday, October 30, the drawbridge will be opened and the yachts will go Into winter quarters in the lagoon. A. D. Harrison and Hervey Darneal have bought the sloop Idler from T. L. Miller and added her to the Encinal fleet. The billlard tournament at the Encinal clubhouse has reached the semi-final round. A. M. Hicko, 9, plays Thomas O’Connor, 130, and A. C. Ward, 120, plays George T. Wright, 100. Allen M. Clay of the, California Yacht Club, having become the owner of the sloop Sam Vincent, has re-christened her Pactolus—a name that seems to suggest boundless wealth. She is a roomy craft, being_ 39 feet 6 inches over all, with 13 feet 7 inches beam, and a draught of about 4 feet. She is now on the “ways"; the inside ballast will be taken out of her and a 4700 pound iron keel put on.

A cycling_ writer says that Julius Smith, winner of fir time in the recent ten-mile road race, was “the undisputed champion among the riders of the high wheel along about 1888 and 1886." Wonder if he ever heard of Frank Elwell or Will Davis? The members of the California Cycling Club will have an old-time run on high { wheels to-morrow, leaving Stanyan and | Haight streets at 2 p. m. and ridin, through the park. The club's handbal tournament will begin Tuesday night. The Bay City Wheelmen and the San Francisco Road Club will each hold a five-mile road race over the San Leandro course on_ Sunday, November 6, and a | Jarge number of members of both clubs are training for the events. The wheelmen are taking considerable | interest in the proposed parade to be held next Saturday evening. the 29th, to cele- brate the repaving of Market strect. The Associated Cycling Clubs has taken the matter in hand In conjunction with other kindred organizations to whom the re- paving is a blessing. Several valuable rizes have been offered the wheelmen for sest appearance, largest club in line, ete. and there is much friendly rivalry in this respect among the riders. The Olympic Club Wheelmen have sent out circulars to the members urging all to appear in line in full uniform. Unattached wheel- | men will be cared for in the parade, and the demonstration promises to be the largest of its kind ever seen here. H. W. SPALDING. GOLFERS AND THEIR PLANS FOR NEW GROUNDS The San Rafael Golf Club will have a jubilee to-day in celebration of the con- summation of their plans for a new grounds and clubhouse in one of the pret- tiest spots in the State. The new grounds of the club will be situated two miles from the San Rafael station of the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Rail- road. As soon as the building which will { house the golfers is finished the railroad officlals will erect a statlon to be called & which will be distant from the | links a little over a half mile. The clubhouse will be patterned after the most famous home of golfers, the Morris County Golf Club_house. It is the intention of the San Rafael Club to lay out an 18-link grounds, the only one | in the State. The links will be about 50 vards apart and over as fine a stretch of land as there is in California. The water supply will be obtained from the Marin County Water Works, and will be very plentiful. ~An immediate survey is planned, and from the present outiook | the club will be ensconced in the new home about the beginning of spring. The San Francisco Golf Club will be in | & condition to enjoy the use of their ren- ovated grounds and the new clubhouse | which will soon be erected, about the first of the year. To-day a handicap tournament for men will be played, post | entries, the prize being a pewter tankard handsomely ornamented. On the Oakland links this afternoon there will be an eight entry tournament. The schedule for the interclub matches will have to be‘rearranged on account of | the defection of the Burlingame and the San Rafael clubs. Rafaelltes are suffer- ing from a lack of good players and the consequent difficulty of forming a team. The “Blingumites” have no good reason for their withdrawal from the tourna- ment schedule. . The schedule of the San Francisco Club for the series of games, lasting from the earl{ winter to the late spring, is now in the hands of the printer and will be ready in a few days.

Saitwaterdirectfrom goaan The oarsmen enjoyed themselves thor- oughly at Guerneville, and think the course on Lake Bohemia anexcellent one. The regatta was quite successful, and produced some good contests. ‘lne ac- commodations for visitors were insuffi cient, there being a misunderstanding be- tween the regatta committee and the Guerneville people with regard to the number of contestants and officials for | whom accommodations would be needed. It is probable that a regatta will be held | ‘on Lake Bohemia in the early part of next year; in that case the regatta com- mittee will itself take charge of the work of securing accommodations for the con- testants. 2 The defeat of the Alameda Seniors on Lake Bohemia is attributed by them to a leaky boat; it is also pessible that they did not exert themselves to the utmost. If they really rowed their hardest, it would show that their previous victories are largely to be attributed to the fdct of their having a fast barge. At any rate ft will make their appearance in the cham pionship races interesting. The Dolphins found two hard races in one day, after a long railroad journey and a night of wakefulness, rather too much. : The Ariels have two crews in training for the championships: An intermediate and a junfor.
