Warm Weather Brings Them Out on the California Courts—Some Good Matches. The summer-like weather of the past week has brought many ladies out upon the courts of the California Lawn Tennis Club, especially in the forenoon. Among | the ladies who have been practicing dur- ing the past week were Miss Eisen, Miss Lacy, Miss Elsie Clark, Miss Ruth Foster, Miss Bessie Bowman, Miss E. Hunter, Miss E. Chesebrough, Miss Mabel Bacon, Miss C. Eckart, Miss Opal Pierce, Miss Ada Clark, Miss Maud Bourn and Aronson. Miss Hunter and Miss ed together agalnst the pro- fes though they were beaten they put up a strong game. It is prob- able that they will, constitute a team. Though it is now some time since W. 8. McGavin was champion, he still plays a keen game and holds his own against the vounger players, having beaten Arthur Chesebrough, Harvey Walter and Buchly. Ralph Bliven has been playing, and, though he was entirely out of practice, is rapidly regaining his old form. The Whitney ~ brothers came together twice or, &nd during the week. At the last meeting R. N tney N. Wt defeated George F. Whitney in'th raight heats, but on the second occasion George turned the tables and won two out of three sets from Robert. Dr. Root and George Bradshaw have played against_each other, with honors "about even. Mr. Blanchard, secretary of the | club, came out to the courts some days | ago and announced his intention of taking up the game again_shortly. i Wednesday, February 1, there will be a s’ tournament, doubles, for which a good list of entries is expected. To-day and to-morrow many players will be out on the courts, though no special event has b anged. 27 Whitman, the champion of the United States in singles, and Ware and_Sheldon, the champions of the United States in doubles, are anxious to come out to Cali- fornia th vear, and will do so if satis- arrangements can be made. As E players are accustomed to play on grass, it will take thex‘n a little hav only to a limited ex- their own State tent outside of it. —————————— HE ESCAPED CONVICTION.

Up to the last nine of the jurors de- cided that th sed officer should be convicted of a_charge of simple assault, but three decided that he should be ac- quitted.

Oarsmen Dissatisfied With the Prizes Awarded by the Pacific As- sociation. For some time past there has been grow- ing among the amateur athletes, and es- peclally among the rowing men, of San Francisco, a feeling of dissatisfaction with the medals awarded as prizes at all events held under the management of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. The oarsmen say that the practice of awarding medals as the only prizes inures to the benefit of one Jeweler, who is a member of the board of managers, and does not conduce to the best interests of the sport. At the last regatta of the Pacific Assoclation held at Long Bridge on November 6, 1598, sev- eral of the competitors protested against Dr. C. C. Dennis of the South End Rowing Club, and formerly outrigger skiff champion, suggested that the winners should be allowed to choose their prizes. One of the board of managers of the Pa- cific Association took offense at this sug- gestion, and at a meeting of the board ex- pressed a desire that the doughty sculler should be disciplined. No action, how- | ever, was taken in the matter. In a recent interview Dr. C. C. Dennis said: “The rowing men are greatly in- terested in this question. They are put to considerable expense for boats, oars, row- ing costumes and other necessary article; They go into training, practice regular] and then sweat and row their hearts out to provide a show for the spectators, and what do they get in return? They get what are commonly known as ‘tin med- ' which are nevef worn, except by very young athletes, but are shoved away into a drawer or a cupboard. Of course, the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union do not permit athletes who wish to retain their amateur standing to receive money or clothing as prizes, but they may accept silverware or articles of jewelry; in fact, anything which can be engraved, and that does not wear out. I do not see why the board of managers should not give prize winners orders upon a dealer in athletic goods. Fred Ayers of the Alameda Boat Club, who won the outrigger skiff cham- pionship at the last Long Bridge regatta, feels just as I do about the matter, and s0, 1 am sure, do several others. I have no doubt that I shall make myself unpop- ular in certain quarters by this expression of opinion, but the matter should be ven- tilated, and some one must open his mouth fi The feeling of dissatisfac- tion is by no means confined to myself, quite general among the rowing love of it, not as a means of gain. Inci- dentally he likes to beat others and to win mementos of his victory, but he does not regard his skill as a means of making or eking out a livelihood. The man who is eager to barter his skill in an athletic exercise or game for money or useful per- ishable articles is a professional, and should not pose as an amateur. ~The spirit of the amateur is not in him.” Now that “Bob” McArthur has been chosen as one of the board of managers of the Pacific Association some lively and exciting meetings of that body may be expected, and among the questions that will arouse discussion, this very one of Hieda-l-givmg is sure to take an important place. R WITH OAR AND SHELL. Rowing Clubs Are Arranging Events to Make the Summer Season Interesting. The float of the South End Rowing Club was so seriously damaged by the recent stornr that most of last Sunday was spent in putting it into partial repair, so that, favorable as the day was for rowing, it was not possible for any of the members to go out on the water until quite late. | There was a large attendance at the boat- house, and considerable work was done on the handball court, which is expected 1o be ready for use about the first of March. At the meeting on Tuesday night it was decided to row over in the whitehall to Alameda at some early date, probably to- morrow, and bring back to this side of the bay the barge Felton, which has been put into thorough repair by Al Rogers. obert McArthur was elected to serve on the board of managers of the Pacific As- soclation of the Amateur Athletic Union and consented to act; so that lively times | may be expected at the meetings of the assoclation. The South End oarsmen think that too many regattas were held last year, and that three good events— that is, two at El Campo and one on the 4th of July, in addition to the regattas of the various clubs—are enough. The South | End oarsmen are anxious to send a crew | up to the Astoria regatta this year, and | for that reason wish the club to get a new barge. - T. I Fitzpatrick, E. Scully and J. O'Dea were appointed a committee to devise means for raising enough money to cover the cost of having a new 'barge built. The club proposes to hold its an- nual banquet in a short time. Fitzpatrick, E. Scully and J, Foley have been appointed a committee to select the | grounds and make arrangements for the outing. The handsomest and most commodious 8. J.

It has been settled that George Baker wik take Victor Caglieri's place in the inter- mediate barge crew. At the last Ladies® day given by the Dolphins one of the most interesting events was the barge race be- tween the Irish and German crews. This year an Italian crew will be added. Much nterest is felt among the members as to the result of the race. ————————— In the Divorce Courts. EllA Hartnup was granted a divorce from William A. Hartnup yesterday on the grounds of willful neglect and failure to provide. The plaintiff was allowed to resume her maiden name, Ella Howell. Mattie Shepherd has sued Charles Shep- herd for a divorce, alleging cruelty as a cause of action, men. the victory.

The California Yacht Club First to Announce Its Official Programme for the Year. The first sailing race of the season of 1899 will take place to-morrow, January 29, on Oakland Creek, starting at 1 p. m. from a point near Sessions Basin. This race, which will be over a _seven-mile course, was deferred from January 15, when the weather was unfavorable. 'The committee in charge of the Oakland Navy consists of Vice Commodore H. C. Hinck- ley of the Oakland Canoe Cluh, Charles Stewart, Jules Hartman and Charles L. Taylor Jr. There will be a race each month during the season, that of Febru- ary being set for the 12th. The election of officers of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club for 1899 will take place on Wednesday evening, February 8, wher it is expected that the regular ticket will be carried. There is some talk of an op- position ticket, but it is by no means cer- tain that one will be prepared. Dr. A. W. McKenzle, the port captain of last sea- son, has parted with' the launch Alberta and become owner of the handsome sloop Sap{)hu, which last season carried the flag of Vice Commodore George B. Edgar of the Californias, and which in 1847 was owned by Herbert B. Law, commodore of the Pacific Yacht Club. At the annual meeting of the Corinthian Yacht Club the regular ticket was elected unanimously. The commodore’s report for the season of 1898 was full and inter- esting, a reference to men who received the benefits of the club without contrib- uting to its support being particularly well received. The Corinthians now have accommodation for small boats for some time to come, but the number of lockers is insufficient, and will be increased as funds permit. It is possible that the Night in Venice, which was so success- fully given in the cove some years ago, may be repeated during 1899. At the annual meeting of the Oakland Canoe Club there was a large attendance of members. The club is in a flourishing condition, having received many more applications for membership than it could accept. The following officers were chosen for the season of 1899: Philip Caduc, com- modore; H. C. Hinckley, vice commodore; | Charles Stewart, secretary and treasurer; Clyde D. Carman and Dr. S. H. Hackett, ;K{:m"[ee on applications for member- The California Yacht Club is manifest- ing renewed activity. Af its last meeting eleven new membérs were elected, and several more applications for membership are in the hands of members. Ex-Com- modore E. A. von Schnwdt, one of the founders of the club, was placed on the henorary list, in recognition of his many services to the club. It is not unlikely that the office of admiral will be aboi- ished. The Californias are the first to have their programme of events for the coming season ready. It is as follow: California Yacht Club official gramme, 1899: April 22—Opening day.

Richardson Bay Is Now the Favor- ite Lounging Place for Canvas- back and Bluebills. The game shooting season {s fast draw- ing to a close, still sportsmen have been enjoying good duck shooting at differ- ent points along the Sacramento River recently. The best sport is now in the possession of hunters who reside in the vicinity of Colusa. In the tules which are within easy reach of the sports- men of Colusa wild ducks are exceedingly plentiful, and records of 100 birds to a gun have been made in the past few weeks, John Kerrigan and Mr. Dormer had a very successful quail shoot last Thursaay in the hills east of Hamlet Station, which is on the line of the North Pacific Rallroad. Thomas Walsh, Dr. Robinson, Dr. Mur- phy and Archie McDonald enjoyed some first-class duck and snipe shooting last ‘week near Byron., They intend paying the Sunung grounds a second visit in a few ays. Countless thousands of canvasback and bluebill ducks are now ‘camped” on the Placld waters of Richardson Bay, and it s said that some of the enterprising net fishermen have been devoting their at- | tention to the capture of the birds, which sell for far better prices than bay flshes command. Tom Irvine of Point Reyes bagged three dozen canvasback on Wednes- day last on a lagoon which empties into Tomales Bay. Tom Casey, “the old man of the moun- tains,” whose headquarters are on the water front, has cP\.lrc)’m!ed a cunning little French poodle-dog from & lady friend. The old man is still fond of chas- ing game when it is easily bagged. He contends that he can train the poodle for the kind of hunting he desires most, which must, however, be softer exercise than that of hill-climbing. For a man of his years—sixty-five—Casey is an ex- tremely vigorous old chap, and his friends say that he can tramp as many miles af- ter game to-day as he was capable of tramping forty years ago. Casey is a stanch member of the Veteran Firemen's Assocfation, and several years ago he was considered a very good amateur quail shooter. cruisi October 1—Open. —_————— THE FAST SWIMMERS. | Athletes Who Will Figure in the Aquatic Contests to Be Held at Sutro Baths.

Ninety Fleet (Eyhounds Will Scate ter Grass at Ingleside Park To-Day. With a continuation of the present warm and pleasant weather there should be the grandest sport imaginable' to-day and to-morrow at the Ingleside Coursing Park. True, the stake is much larger than tha managers of the park had anticipated, but the requests for a place on the pro- gramme for this dog and that dog wers 80 numerous that Count von Halpin was unable to muster up sufficient courage to call a halt on dogs that were entered lata by owners who had been stanch support~ ers of Ingleside Park since its inaugurae tion. Ninety-one dogs is assuredly a very large number, and when it is consldered that to balance accounts properly for five courses must be run off tc v it will be seen at a glance that ve delay must occur between the slipping o pairs, otherwise the finals will be under cover of darkness. But, then, the Trojans of Ingleside Park have had such a lengthy experience in matters coursing that they can figure to the minute when the last brace of dogs will enter the slips. The fact that seventy-two_all-age dogs will be handled by Slipper Jim Grace in the run down and then nineteen saplings of high degree to follow, is in itself s ficient evidence to prove to the most dent admirer of the sport that the peopl who own good dogs are d charges must run at Ingl There i{s an old saying that broom sweeps clean,” but the adage does not apply to Ingleside, for the simple reason that ever since John Grace hag been in the saddle the Ingleside Park has made a clean sweep of everything that opposed it from a coursing standpoint, and doubtless it will enjoy prosperity for many moons. The gfltherlngs of true sport lovers at Ingleside Park on coursing days hava Heen noticeably increasing during the past few months purely because the sport is clean in every respect, and the park is within easy access of leashmen who re side in the city. Seven thousand people witnessed last Sunday what certainly proved to be thae grandest and most interesting coursing the sportsmen of San Francisco have ever had the pleasure of seeing in an inclosed park. &‘he hares were on their mettla and, indeed, the dogs were also in condl« tion to travel long distances. Especial preparations have been mada to recelve a large crowd to-day, which should be the banner day In the history of coursing in this State. The points made by the contesting dogs in each course will figure on the big blackboard immediately after the flag goes up. This is an innovation which has been w comed by many visitors who have qul 1y recognized the fact that Ingleside Park coursing is run solely for the pleasure orlspecmtors and not in the interest of gain. — ee— Ames Had Another Wife.

Frank Jaubert at Last Scored Brack- ets—Strongoli First Again. Don’t Skip Me Beaten | by Peixotto. Fred hor: Foster's crack five-year-old , Dr. Sheppard, took time by the fetlock and made it look like a selling plater at Oakland track yesterday. In the mile and a sixteenth selling event the big son of Buchanan, with 114 pounds on his back, won all the way in runaway | fashion, covering the distance in 1:45%, a new coast record. He closed favorite in the betting, and was followed in by Duno satsuma. The performance far e s in point of merit that of Redskin, - holder of the American record of 5% made at Forsythe track on June 6, as that horse carried but & pounds. Yes- terday's winner was piloted by Cash Bloan. The weather and track were admirable for racing purposes, and another large crowd was in attendance. The favorites continue to fall, as but two were able to shake their flelds off. There was no beating Strongoli in the opening sprint over the Futurity course. Entered to be sold for $200, the big bay eolt was a 1 to 2 chance, and won hands down from Whaleback. Campus was third, in front of The Fretter, second choice. Barney Schreiber’s mud-runner, Jerry Hunt, was installed a Jukewarm favorite for the six furlong sprint that followed, but could not hold out. After being badl interfered with_on_the backstretch, H. Martin astride Sir Urian ran around his out a nose. Genua finished third. A change in riders worked wonders with Frank Jaubert. Spencer rode The Bard gelding in the mile selling run, and the checks went down stralght. Strolling along leisurely in third place until well into the stretch, Spencer then *made his move, winning cleverly from Judge Wofford. The, latter was undoubt- edyl best, but Johnny Reiff was tardy in cutting loose. Master Lee, the favorite, was outfooted from the start. The original fourth race was declared off, and a six furlong selling affair sub- stituted. Meadow Lark again had first call in the betting, and once more proved a disappointment. Shasta Water, ridden .by Thorpe, and 16 .to 5 in the betting, easily disposed of his company. Magnus in a drive took the place from the favorite. Tom Ryan's fast mare, Don’t Skip Me, was the pick of the talent to win the seven furlong dash that concluded the . racing, and though she made a bold bld for it, failed to land. Peixotto, the chest- nut horse, with Spencer up, ‘'overhauled Midlight in the run through’ the stretch, leading the first choice out a couple of lengths in 1:26%. A Track Notes.

An Outdoor Pastime Which Will At- tract Large Gatherings This Season. The popularity of golf and the number of links are constantly growing. For ex- ample, in Riverside, besides several priv~ ate links, there are two golf clubs—the Riverside Polo and Golf Club, of which M. E. Flowers is secretary, and the Pa- chappa Golf Club, of which Perrin BE. White is secretary. The Pachappa Golf Club was organized in November last ana already has seventy-eight members. It has a nine-hole course, the distances be- ing 285, 450, 270, 285, 275, 200, 300, 205 and 210 yards; total, 2480 yards. The club has no home as yet, and therefore will not hold any open tournaments this season; but a programme containing fifteen events has been prepared for members—ten ot these events being for gentlemen and five for ladles. The first of a series of five tournaments for gentlemen against Cois onel Bogey was held on January 2§, and others will be held on February 22, March 23, April 20 and May 18. Tournaments in medal play for gentlemen will be held on February 9, March 9, April 6 and May 4. Those who take first or second place in these contests will be entitled to compete in the tenth tournament, match play, on May 30, for a silver cup. Tournaments, medal play, for the ladies of .the Pachappa Golf Club, will be held on February 2, March 2, March 30 and April 27. The fifth tournament will be at match play and will take place on May 25. In Southern California golf enjoys a greater vogue and attracts even more in- terest than in Central California. The clubs at Riverside have already been men- tioned. There s also a flourishing_club at Santa Catalina. The links of the Santa Catalina Island Golf Club are among the most beautiful and picturesque in the country. They are situated behind Ava- lon in a great amphitheater of hills, from the tops of which many canyons, like streams of verdure, run down to the course. The club house stands on a lit- tle mesa overlooking the links, and near it is the first teeing ground. The distance to the first green is 210 yards. The green is named Santa Cruz, and is on the fur- ther side of a canyon beneath the hills. The bogey score is four. The second hole, San Miguel, is 178 yards away, and is protected by a high wire bunker that runs across the whole width of the course. The bogey score is three. The third teeing ground is in the entrance to a little can- yon filled with trees, which winds away up to the summit of the ridge. The drive is up the steep face of a cliff, which is forty feet high, and constitutes the most difficult bunker on the course. Having negotiated the cliff, the player climbs up the canyon and finds himself on a mesa on the south side of Grand Canyon—a beautiful, well-grassed spot, surrounded on every side by green hills and gulches. To the eastward the blue waters of the bay of Avalon are visible. The distance to this hole, San Nicholas, {s 238 yards, and the bogey score is four. The fourth hole, Santa Catalina, 1s 280 yards away, and, if the player succeeds in making a good drive across a deep ravine, should be done in four strokes. He is now on the top of a little mesa surrounded by hills. Descending, he crosses a canyon by a rustic bridge and drives his ball down the sloping little mesa to San Clem- ente, the bogey score being three. The sixth teeing ground stands on the edge of the mesa, high above the main ca yon. Two hundred and thirty yards dis- tant is the sixth hole, Anacapa, with a “wash” intervening as a hazard. The bogey score is four. The sevemth green, Santa Rosa, though only a hundred yards away, Is not visible, for between if and the pla{ver is a high bunker. But if the ball is ‘well played it will land on the green directly behind the club house and e holed in three strokes. Thence the course goes up a mesa skirting a deep canyon. The distance to Santa Barbara, the eighth hole, being 230 yards and the bogey score four. The view from these greens is delightful, the course following the level canyon and mesa, and yet being surrounded by mountains. After lenvinfi Santa Barbara the player walks over a little divide, crosses a can- yon by a bridge, and finds the ninth teeing-ground on a small mesa facing the clubhouse; the distance to Guadalupe, the home green, is 185 yards, and many layers have driven the ball right on to . It is but a few yards from the well- equipped clubhouse, which is surrounded b{ a wide piazza and a pretty garden. The_ total distance of the course is 1818 yards, and the total boqey score 1s° 32; the record score i8 3 (being four each for the first eight holes, and three for the last one), and was max er¥ Franc 0.

Ca Golf Club §s pre- paring an open tournament, for amateurs, the principal events of which will be a handicap_competition for gentlemen, med- al play, 36 holes; a handicap competition for ladies, at 18 holes, medal play; a driv- lng contest for gentlemen, dnd also for ladies; and a contest for gentlemen in aprroach(n and putting, Further detalls will be published later. The directors of the Oakland Golf Club have arranged the following schedule of events for the next three months: Saturday, February 4—Tournament for Tib- betts cup. Saturday, February 11—Fourth tournament for ladies' cup. Saturday, Febru- ary 15—Mixed foursomes for club members. Saturday, February 2—Open competition with handicap, Baturday, March 4—Men's foursomes for club medals. Saturday, March 11—Handi- cap, match play, for silver cup. Saturday, March 15—Putting and approaching contests for ladies and gentlemen, for silver medal. Satur- day, March 2—Ladies' handicap, match play.

Saturday, April 8—San Francisco Golf Cluv versus Oakland Golf Club, on Presidio links, Saturday, April 15—Tournament for ladies’ cup. Saturday, April 22—Tournament for Cap- tain's cup. Saturday, May 6—Final tournament for Tibbetts cup. Eight men are at work upon the Oakland links, rolling, bunker-making_and other- wise improving the course. Water is to be piped to all the greens, which will be made in the shape of the figure 8, with a hole in the center of each ooP: thus when the turf around one hole is worn, the hole in the other loop can be used. The event set down on the programme of the San Francisco Golf Club for to- day is mixed foursomes, 18 holes, with handicap, the event having been moved forward from Tuesday, January 24. —————————— ‘WILL POSTPONE THE RACE. Twenty-Five Mile Cycle Event to Be Held in March. The board of governors of the California Associated Cycling Clubs will probably change the date of this year's annual twenty-five-mile road race at their next meeting. This classic event has been held on Washington’s birthday, February 22, for years past. This year, however, the club riders are all in active training for short-distance races at San Jose and the coming tournament here, and none of them will be in shape for a twenty-five- mile road grind. It was therefore thought best to put the race over a month and it will be held the latter part of March. “Jimmy" Michael has started training at the Olympic Club. He is doing no rid. ing, but works four hours a day as hard as any pugilist, with weights, dumb bells and similar deylces. His wheeling will be done in thegpark. Eddie Bald Started light training yes- terday, and will goon be in good shape. Bald only intends to ride in exhibitions here. He will not race until he gets to France in April. The Ulympic Club Wheelmen are plan- nlng a_banquet to Michael and Bald, to be held in the near future. The Garden City Wheelmen of San Jose and the Bay City Wheelmen of this city are also ar- rnngmg some functions in _their honor. Bald will be the guest of honor at the Bay City’s fourteenth anniversa balt to be held at the Palace Hotel on V%dne& day evening, February 8. This affair is for members and their friends, and invi- g:wms may be had from any of the mem- TS. The races of the Garden City Wheel- men at San Jose to-morrow wiil draw a large crowd from this city, who will go down on the 9 and 10:40 a. m. trains, Most of the Eastern riders now here will be there. ooy Fim~-- French Cycler Could Not Cross the Ferry With His Wheel. Henry Fournier, the celebrated French cycle racer who arrived here Wednesday ST S FOUEN:ER GETS IN TROUBLE. | adadition to the speed which he can de- velop on a wheel by means of his own pedal extremities, has a gasoline tri cle, which has heretofore been called by the Eastern papers a “petroleum tan- dem,” although why it is hard to under- stand, as the terms represent two en- tirely different machines. Fournier's tricycle is a marvelous wheel. Seated upon it, without any ex- ertion on his part, he can reel off a hun- dred miles at a two-minute clip and en- Joy his cigar at the same time. It is val- uable for both road and track us Yesterday morning the doughty French- man thought he would try the country roads hereabouts for a little “century™ spin before lunch, and, learning that the road to San Jose on this side of the bay was muddy, betook himself to the ferry, intending to ride down on the Oakland side. ~ But the Southern_ Pacific officlals would not have it so. His venicle was in direct competition with their trainbusi- ness, and, furthermore, it is_against the rules to take gasoline aboard the ferries in any form. Fournier does not speak or understand English well, and protested in vain against what he thought was their en- deavor to extort a large sum of money from him for transporting his vehicle across the bay. He was about to pay the toll, however, when it dawned upon him that he could not go over for any amount of money. Then he hurled French adjectives and invectives at the gatekeep- ers until he got tired, and finally roée back to his hotel a much disgusted Gaul. Fournier has had his wheel out in tie ark a cougle of times since he arrived ere, and the police have offered no ob- jectlon, saying that it is no more llable g; sc;lz.re horses than any other kind of a cycle. _— ‘‘Hail Columbia” was written in 1798 by Joseph Hopkinson (1770-1842), vice presi= dent of the American Philosophical So- ciety, and president of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
