The last dele- gate from the South Ends to the regatta committee was M. Breen, but as he was absent from two meetings in succession the club was requested to send another representative. The South Ends are somewhat lukewarm members of the as- soclation, and from time to time talk is heard of their withdrawing from it and Joining the National Association of Ama- teur Oarsmen. About a week ago bers and friends met at the Triton boathouse at North Beach and en- joyed a fish dinner. The following were present: J. P. Cahill, P. Lohmann, P. Maeney, W. Hines, J. McCarth; . Me- Donald, A. Langford, T. Mullen, J. O'Con- | nell, F. Wilson, A. H. Schimpf, G. Bar- det, A. Reimers and J. Kehrlein. The medals won at the champlonship rowing regatta held at Long Bridge on N ber 6 were distributed at the Olympic Club on Wednesday night, after | the water polo tournament. There was no ceremony or speechmaking, W. C Espy, the president of the regatta com- mittee, simply handing the trophies to the winners or their representatives. Of the thirty-six medals the Alameda Boat Club carried off thirteen—five for the senior barge champlonship, five for second place in the junior barge race, the cham- pionship medal in the senior outrigged skiff race and both medals in the junior outrigged skiff race. The Ariels carried off five medals for the intermediate barge championship and the Dolphins won_the enior shell championship. But the Pio- neers took the lion’'s share, winning no fewer than seventeen medals—five for the junior barge championship, ten for sec- ond place in the senior and intermediate barge races, the junior shell champion- ship and second place in the senior out- rigged skiff race. . COURSING AT SAN JOSE. Sixty-Four Dog Stake the Feature for Christmas. SAN JOSE, Dec. 23.—The initial meet of the San Jose Coursing Club is attracting a great deal of attention from sportsmen all over the State. There will be a sixty- four dog stake, including all the fast ones owned in San Francisco, Stockton and Sacramento. Purses aggregating nearly $400 will be given.

Now the ladies are too busy with holiday shop- ping to be able to think even of golf. There will, however, be a great deal of golf on the Presidio links during the Christmas holidays. This afternoon the men’s championship contest will begin. Phere will be numerous entries, who will be matched according to their strength. The contest will be at 18 holes, match play. Winners in the first play will pass on to the second round; winners in the second round will take part in the third, and so on until the final round is reached. The contest will be resumed on Monday. The Los Angeles Country Club, the links of which are on Pico Heights, Los An- geles, will hold a series of club competi- tions next Saturday, December 8l. The events will be as follows: At 9 a. m. the club handicap for men, 36 holes, medal play. The club champion- Ship and a gold medal will be awarded to the player who makes the best gross actual score and a silver medal will be presented to the player with the best net score after the handicap has been deduct- ed, At 1:30 p. m. the club handicap for wom- en, 18 holes, medal play. The club cham- pionship and a gold medal will be award- ed to the player making the best gross actual score and a silver medal will be sented to the player who makes the hest net score, after the handicap has been deducted. At 4 p. m. there will be a driving com- petition for men and at 4:15 p. m. a driv- ing competition for women, for both of which events prizes will be awarded. The winners of the club championships will recelve gold medals and the honor of having their names and scores en- graved upon the championship cups, the ownership and possession of the cups re- maining with the club. - On the Monday after New Year's day an open amateur competition will be held for men (3 holes, medal play) and for women (18 holes, medal play); also an open driving competition for men and women. Gold medals will be given as first prizes and silver medals for second prizes in the me and women's medal competitions. and second prizes will be awarded in the men's and women's the Los driving competitions.

The rain prevented the heat being plaved off early in the week, but yesterday morning Miss Duff beat Miss A. Mofiitt by 1 up. Miss Duff has now won two out of the three competi- tions that have been held for the ladies’ cup. After a fourth competition has taken place the winners will play a final game to decide the possession and ownership 0@ the troph, n Monday two teams of eight men will play a match on the Oakland links. Play will begin at 11 in the morning, One of the teams_will be made up « & , Bel- den, Wingate, Hubbard and_McKee. The other wllf consist of E. R. Folger, G. D. sreenwood, R. M. Fitzgerald, W. P. Joh P. E. Bowles, J. Fol- Stratton. Of the first team J. Mc. e and C. P. Win- the San Francisco 10, while the second team is exactly that which represented the Oakland club on the Presidio links on December 17. The match is thus a trial of strength between the first and second eights of the club. Of course, if the first eight was well chosen it should certainly beat the second team, but it will be interesting to see by how a large a margin the first team can | win. Several young ladies having volunteered to decorate the club house of the Oakland golfers for the Christmas season and an informal tea, to which all members are in- vited, will be given there on Monday af- ternoon, December 26, and on Tuesday a turkey ‘dinner will be set before about forty caddies, on each of whom a present from the Christmas tree will be bestowed. SMALL INTEREST TAKEN IN THE FIELD TRIALS Norman J. Stewart of the Rancho Boni- to collie kennels has sold to W. B. True of San Jose a sable and white collie dog puppy by imported Ormskirk Blucher, out of Schmoral. The litter seemed to catch the popular eve at the Oakland show, and the sale is one of the results. The Pacific Coast is well represented in Spratt's calendar for 1899. Mrs. J. P. Nor- man’s mastiffs make a fine showing. H. ‘Wegener’'s cockers grace the cover, and | John de Ruyter’'s collies and setters are the types of those respective breeds. Dr. F. W. d’Evelyn, president of the Pa- cific Mastift and Fox Terrier clubs and of the Pacific Kennel League, prepared a pleasant surprise for his friends last Monday by his unexpected return to San His lecture tour in the East was brilliantly successful. The entries for the all-age stakes in the field trials closed on the 15th inst. The total of entries foots up far less than last year, with the pointers in the ma- ority. The most promising of the po: le candidates_are not entered for vari- ous reasons. Vallente and Rowena are dead, Dash Antonio is in the East and Peach Mark Is out of the running. The outlook is poor for a successful meeting this year. i S paE To-Morrow’s Handball Games. The games to be played at Phil Ryan's court to-morrow, 858 Howard street, are as follows: E.

'TO-DAY : : AT INGLESIDE : D T L S ST ROy There will not be any coursing to-day, as Judge Grace left this city yesterday for Los Angeles, where he will judge the big Christmas day meeting. Very extensive preparations have been made by the sportsmen of Southern Cali- fornia for the meeting, which will be at- tended by thousands of people from all parts of California. Colonel Black, to whose untiring efforts is due largely the success which coursing is now enjoying in Los Angeles, is determined to spare neither time nor expense in giving the lovers of the game a grand Christmas holiday, and with that object in view he has engaged the best military band in Los Angeles to play during the intermission between the courses. . 5 Ingleside Park will put on a new dress next month. The association, which is looking out for its best interests, contem- plates making several improvements, be- sides adding new features. One of the new features which. will catch the eye of the sportsmen is a large blackboard, which will be placed in the betting rlng within full view of the pool sellers an the spectators. After each course the names of the winner and loser and the points they scored during the course will appear on the board. This will give those who may differ from the judge in opinion a chance to see what each dog has done. The entering of dogs for the drawings under the names of So-and-so’s kennel will in future be done away with by the managers of Ingleside Park, as there is too large an Dp&)ortunlly for trickery to be practiced under this new but danger- ous system of entry. The owners of dogs will be compelled to enter their charges in their own*names so that the betting public can form some idea as to who the rightful owner of the dog or dogs may be. The next meeting at Ingleside Park will be held on Saturday week, and the draw- !ng for the same will take place next Thursday evening at Pythian Castle. kit NEW YEAR'S FEAST FOR CORINTHIAN YACHTSMEN The most notable event among bay yachtsmen during the winter is the an- nual dinner of the Corinthian Yacht Club. This takes place in the clubhouse at Tib- uron on New Year's day, and will begin promptly at 1 p. m. It will be under the general supervision of Port Captam J. H. Keefe, who will be assisted by L. B. Chapman, H. A, Denhard, H. H. Gorter, T. W. Ransom, F. M. Thornton, J. Short, R. 8. Buck, W. C. Howe, F. E. Schober, H. D. Hawks and Carl Westerfeld. The limited accommodations of the clubhouse will not permit of the invitation of any but members. The Corinthian Club has suffered a se- vere loss in the death of its secretary, Edward B. Lathrop, on Thursday morn- ing, from congestion of the brain. After leaving school Lathrop made two voyages to the Hawaiian Islands in sailing ves- sels, and he frequently went out to sea on one of the pilot boats. In 1893 he was a member of the crew of the yawl Seven Bells, and during 1894 he sailed with va- rious friends in the Corinthian Club. In 1895 he became a member of the club, and sailed on tlie sloop Elia with F. F. Ames during that and the fouowing season. Early in 1897 E. B. Lathrop, with W. P. Humphreys Jr., R. Farquharson and the Montealegre brothers, chartered the large sloop Pride and sailed her during the yachting seasons of 1867 and 1898. Though the Corinthians were anxious that he should retain the secretaryship during the coming season, it was kfls intention to ref lection to the office. He was enthu ally fond of yachting, and his death is sincerely regretted by all inter- ested in the sport. The election of officers of the California Yacht Club for the coming year will take place at the clubhouse on San Antonio estuary mnext Thursday evening, De- cember 29. The following members have received nominations for the various of- fices: For commodore, Allen M. Clay; for vice commodore, Harry W. Brydges; for treasurer, E. N. Walter, incumbent; for secretary, R. L. Eames; for measurer, J. J. Sherry: for port captain, !(]}u ene Flan- all B. ders; for directors—L. F. e, G. Edgar, George Miller, L. §. Sherman and C. J. Lancaster. The nominees for _the regatta committee are Eugene Flanders, C. J. Lancaster and R. R. 'Hommedleu; and the nominees for delegates to the Pa- cific_Interclub Yacht Association are E. N. Walter, L. 8. Sherman and * R. R. I'Hommedleu. Almost every one of these nominees is not only an active yachtsman, but also an owner. Allen M. Clay, formerly owner of the sloop Sea FoX, now owns the large sloop Pactolus, which he purchased at the close of the season of 1898, and has had refitted; Harry W. Brydges owns the yawl Hope: E. N. Walter the sloop Embla, which last season carried Com- modore C. J. Lancaster's flag; R. L. Eames’ yacht is the sloop Surf; f J. Sher- Ty is owner of the yawl Gypsle, and Eu- ene Flanders of the launch Ariel. L. F. ale last season owned the sloop Mist, but rpccntlyTpurchased the sloop Secret from T. F. Tracy, ex-commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club; G. F. Edgar is of the sloop Sugyh , George Miller of the sloop Occident, L. S. Sherman of the sloop Royal, and C. J. Lancaster was formerly owner of the sloop Edna. R. R. I'Homme- dieun was part owner of the sloop Phoe- nicia, and is secretary of the Pacific In- terclub Yacht Association. The club can hardly fail to be active, if its interests are placed in the hands of so many ac- tive lovers of yachting. ———————— MICHAEL IS COMING. Crack Wheelman to Visit California in February. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—"Jimmie’ Mich- ael,, who has been sojourning in this city for several weeks, announced to-day that he would leave to-morrow for Nashville, Tenn., to look after his horse stabled there. He thought that early in Febru- ary he would go to California for the in- door racing season there. e San Rafael’s Football Team. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 23.—At the annual election of officers of the San Rafael Foot- ball Club, held last evening in the rooms of the San Rafael Athletic and Cycling Club, S. Dollar was elected captain, H. Hansen manager, and District Attorney= elect Hugh J. Mclsaacs treasurer for the ensuing year. This team is deemed one of the best amateur organizations of the kind on the coast, every member holding a good record as a sprinter. The team is matched to play the Pastime Club of San Francisco next Monday on the San Rafael baseball grounds. MARK LANE'S INJUNCTION. Argument on Motion to Dissolve It Heard by Judge Belcher. Argument on ihe motion to dissolve the njunction heretofore issued in the suit of Mark Lane against the Board of Edu- cation was heard by Judge Belcher yes- terday morning. Lane in his petition ror an injunction alleged that the board was about to appoint many new teachers and was ‘about to illegally close the Business Evening School. A temporary injunction was issued by Judge Belcher and the mo- tion t&dxssolve this injunction was heard esterday. yJudge {an R. Paterson, who represented Lane, maintained the position that the in- junction should be made permanent b: reason that the schools are now abund- antly supplied with teachers and ‘hat ad- ditional appointments would involve a waste of public funds. Attorney Jacob Samuels, on behalf of the board, contend- ed that the court had no power to issue the injunction in the premises and asked that the petition be dismissed. Judge Belcher took the matter under ‘advise- ment. \1Wd mmq‘ h;:,u.m i !H!H g il L P EBas S oak i e e RS ae: b REFEREES WHO : by WILL 3: * KILL BOXING : R R R R T TR If those who manage boxing affairs in this city would instruct their master of ceremonies to announce before the con- testants of a prize fight enter the ring that Queensberry rules are no longer ob- served in this city they would be favor- ing many patrons of the game who are still of the opinion that the Queensberry rules govern all boxing contests. The recent twenty-round bout between Lavigne and Tracey was given to the Saginaw “Kid” because he slugged the hardest and scored the greater number of misses. Lavigne was the aggressor, and on that account alone he was awarded the decision. Tracey outclassed him in every other particular, but the referee understood the game only from a slog- ger’s point of view, and that gave Lavigne the match. On Thursday night Jack Stelzner ref- ereed a contest, and when he decided in favor of Maxwell he knew only too well that he cheated Denny out of a game which k- won beyond all possible doubt. Stelzner understands the rules, but when certain iuducements were offered to him | to close his eyes on Queensberry he evi- dently forgot what straight hitting, neat defensive work, clever ducking and beau- tiful side-stepping meant. Maxwell, who is purely a slogger of the 25-cent boXing club school, demonstrated | by wild swings and exceedingly poor | judgment that he has yet much to learn about fisticuffs, It is certain that professional boxing in this city will soon see its end unless the clubs will select their own referees, who must be instructed to read the Queens- berry rules carefully and decide contests aceording to them. Referees selected by the fighters are guided solely by the ad- vice they receive from some gambler who ‘“‘works’” the pool boxes in his own inter- ests, and as long as the fighters will have any voice in the selection of referees the sport must suffer the consequences. Have the owners of race horses a say as to who must judge any particular race at Ingleside or Oakland track? ‘What would the directors of the Cali- fornia Jockey Club think if they were approached by a brace of horsemen and asked to appoint certain judges for some race that they, the tricksters, were in- terested in? Yet, while the pugs can select referees who are to their fancy the sporting fra- ternity can_ expect to witness only hip- podromes of the worst kind imaginable. The National Club is really the only club in this city that has a record for holding clean fistic entertainments. It has given good shows in the past and doubtless its next entertainment on the 30th inst. will be well worth seeing.

Rellini Guilty, but the Penalty Fixed at Life Imprisonment. Tomasso Kellini, the Italian fisherman, ‘who shot and killed his mistress, Louisa Spain, will not hang for his crime, but will spend the rest of his davs in prison. The jury in his case, after being out all night, came into court yesterday morning and returned a verdict finaing the defend- ant guilty of murder in the first degree, but fixed the punishment at imprisonment for life. It is understood that seven of the jurors voted for a hanging verdict up to the last minute, but finally. when court was about to convene, gave in and voted for life imprisonment. Kellini’'s crime was a_ cold-blooded one and he, as well as the District Attorney’s office, expected that the death pena}ly would be inflicted. Bacon Place Cases. ‘When the cases of the women arrested in Bacon place for vagrancy were called before Justice of the Peace Barry in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday Attorney Lennon, for the prosecution, asked that the case of Emma Wardell be first set for trial. Attorney Ach preferred the case of Emma de Loudre. The acting Judge adopted Ach’s suggestion, and set the case for trial on January 9. This led to an angry exchange of words between Len- non and the acting Judge, but the latter ‘was not to be moved from the position he had taken. The World’s Supply of Wheat.

Was Ruled Off Two Years Ago Be- cause He Violated the Rule Against Giving Presents to Jockeys. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Riley Grans nan was reinstated by the stewards of the Jockey Club at a meeting held to- day. “Doc” Street, who has been un- der the ban since the meeting at St. Asaph In 1896, also was reinstated. Grannan had been beaten in the courts and on the turf, and his pardon is a voluntary act of clemency on the part of the Jockey Club. *Grannan was ruled off in 1896 on the charge of having violated that rule which prohibits giving presents to jockeys by others than the owner of the horse. August Belmont, chairman of the State racing commission, which had in- tervened in the suit, had an appeal taken and the case went to the Court of Appeals. Grannan was defeated on all points, and the right of the racin§ authorities to make such rules as the: saw fit, providing these rules were ap- proved by the State Racing Associa- tion, was established. Riley Grannan, who is booking at the local race tracks, was first apprised of his reinstatement by a telegram from a friend in New York. He said last nigh “Although I had hoped to be rei stated by the Jockey Club, the news came as a complete surprise. Since the first telegram announcing my reinstate- ment I have received a number of con- gratulatory telegrams from friends in the East.” CLEVER DICK O’BRIEN DEFEATED BY RYAN Police Interfere in the Fourteenth Round to Save Him From & Enockout. HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 23.—Tommy Ryan of Syracuse, N. Y., ‘proved too much for Dick O'Brien of Boston at the Coliseum to-night. The police interfered in the fourteenth round and saved O'Brien from an actual knockout; but as far as practicable purposes were con- cerned he was out. Ryan had floored him a few seconds before with a right-hand swing on the jaw, and Dick got to his feet again just as Referee Roche counted seven. The fight had all been knocked out of him. He was helpless and Ryan again floored him_ with a vicious right-hand swing. Dick came to time once more, only to fall a victim to a hard uppercut. Then Chief of Police Bull jumped into the ring and stopped the bout, and Roche awarded the fight to Ryan. The action of the police was generally approved as preventing unnecessary bru- tality. It was Ryan’'s fight all the way through. He wore O'Brien down by inches with jabs, and had him bleeding at the nose and eye early in the fight. Several times Ryan had his man going, but although he made dozens of passes he could not land that right swing till the. fourteenth round. Ryan was too quick on his feet and too scientific for his opponent, who could simply stand still and punch and be punche OCEAN TRAVEL. Pacific Coast Steafllship Co.
