Militia—Marlinspike Seamanship on the Marion—Military Honors. During the past week the Legislature did something in the line of putting the National Guard on an active footing again. The Senate by a unanimous vote passed the amended bill for reorganization that was introduced by Senator Dickin- son, and it went to the Assembly. The friends of the bill are confident that the House will p: it as it came from the Senate and that the Governor will sign it. One important amendment {s that the bill shall go into effect at once instead of at the expiration of sixty days as/in the original measure. The bill introduced by Assemblyman Chynoweth came back from the Commit- tee on Military Affairs with some slight amendments and it passed, and is now in the Senate. This is the measure that was introduced for the purpose of fixing the - | status of the members of the Guard who enlisted in the Spanish-American war. There was some talk after it left the As- sembly that it might be amended as to that section which declares that if the party who so enlisted wishes to return to the guard, if an officer he shall serve un- til the explration of the term of office to which he clected or appointed. If the change is made it will be that officers who wish _to return to their former commands can do so if elected by the company. This would give the men a chance to get even with any of their officers who may have treated them in a shabby way. In special orders issued last week the resignation of Lieutenaut Junfor Grade H. P. Gray, Naval Militia, is accepted. In the case of Licutenant Junior Grade A. E. Willlams, having absented himself for more than thirty days without leave, he was deemed to have resigned, and his resignation was accepted. First Lieutenant Ira A. Robie, Second Infantry, has been appointed a member of the special examining board to act in con- junction with the examining board of the Third Brigade in the examination of the officers-elect in Company C, Second Infan- try, and of the Signal Corps of the Thlrdi Brigade. Upon his personal application First Lieutenant C, B. Strong, Troop. B, cav- alry, Third Brigade, has' been placed on the retired list with the rank of first lieu- tenant from June 27, 1888, There is considerable activity in the naval militia at thls time, and much is being done in the way of recruiting the several divisions to their limit. On_board the Marion Lieutenant Com- mander T. A. Nerney has instituted a sys- tem of drill which includes single stick exercise and marlinspike seamanship, which in other words is the science knots and splices. Until further orders The offi cers’ mess on the Marion last Tuesday night was attended by all the officers and a very pleasant evening was spent. Un- der good of the service a number of mat- ters connected with the building up of the militla were discussed, and it was de- cided to advance that branch of the Na- tional Guard with all the energy the offi- cers can command. The speclal service men on board the Pinta, that is the men who are detailed by the United States Government as care takers of vessels loaned to State Govern- ments, had an examination last week at Mare ‘Island witi the result that Cox- swain E. Cotter reshipped, Joseph Hill, fireman of the first class, retired, Clive Brown was named to take his place and Louis Algren, seaman, was named vice Adolph Groux. Two members of the Second Division have made application for appointment as warrant officers on board of the Marion, one for the position of gunner and the other for that of carpenter. Captain L. H. Turner has applied for certificate of exemption. Louis and Leon Sless and J. Neibaum having been seven years ag honorary members of the Naval Militia have received certificates of ex- emption. Louis F. Gerstle has been elect- ed an honorary member of the Naval Militia. The medals won at the target were dis- tributed during the week, without cere- mony, to those entitled to recelve them. One of these, a rifle man’s medal, went to Lieutenant Commander Nerney of the al Militia and a certificate of honor- able mention was given to Major General Nat Jam retired. The appropriation of $5000 for the naval militia has been divided so that $2000 goe: to the Pinta and the balance to the Ma- rion, M. Dodge and H. B. Dodge, members of Troop A, have been discharged from the service on ount of removal. | The Signa of the Second Brigade and the Veteran Signal Corps will cele- te the anniversary of the institution of | the corps by a banquet on Saturday, the 1st of April Owlng to natorial duties Major Gen- eral Dickinson, was in Sacramento last Friday, was unable to be_ pi t at the reception on the Chitose, but he was represented by his aid, Major L.

The Managers Are Hard at Work Se- curing the Best Material and De- veloping Good Teams. Plans for a grand opening of the base- ball season are rapldly maturing, and when the 26th of March reaches this city the lovers of the national game will be treated to a bit of the real thing. Many changes have been put in force in both the management of the teams and their discipline. If the plans already adopted are carried out there will be good ball played in the California League. | An entirely different management has | charge of affairs since the wind up of last season, and a new regime has been Insti- tuted. Two teams have been eliminated from the league—the Athletics of this city and the Stockton aggregation. The league now consists of six teams. In order to foster and preserve a spirit of rivalry and competition among the dif- | ferent clubs, a prize of $1000 will be given to the team wlnnlnfi the championship. The managers of the respective teams | have been on the qui vive in the selection | of players, who will have to live up to a system of rigid discipline. They will be paid a fixed salary and forced to show up for practice or suffer heavy fines. The best material developed last season will be seen this year cavorting on the dia- monds of the league. Borchers, the cap- tain of the San Jose team, has signed all his men, and they are In pretty good shape. Santa Cruz has a new battery, first baseman and two outfielders. Man- ager Ewing of Oakland will have some new material, which will be tried out in the initial game between the home team and the Oaklanders. Catcher Hartman, formerly of Seattle, will catch for the home team, and Jim Sullivan, who was behind the bat for Oakland last season, will play first base and act as change catcher. Josh Riley will return to his old position—third base —next season, and will be seen with the Friscos. Harris is now negotiating with George Cobb, the old Oakland twirler, and may secure him. Iberg is on the Frisco re- serve list, but has not yet signed. The Frisco team will begin active prac- tice this week and continue its work until the opening game. The teams will have training quarters in which they will sleep and dine. — ee———— Lurline Salt Water Baths. Bush and Larkin sts. Swimming, Russian, hot and cold tub baths. Saltwaterdirect fromocean.

Olympic Club Wheelmen’s New Track 1 to Be Openedi—Bay Citys Go to | Camp Taylor—Races at San Jose. The cycling touring season of 1899 will be opened to-day by the varlous clubs, all of which will have country runs. A large attendance is expected by every captain, which augurs well for the sport during the balance of the year. Perhaps the most important event to the wheelmen to-day Is the opening track at the Olympic Club his track is the one recently r indoor racing at the P vilion, is eight laps to the mile, and pro- | nounced perfect by the riders. Captain T. G. Spillane will lead a large run which | ground. to-morrow with the outdoor grounds as the olv{ectl\'u point. After a short ride through the park they will make for the grounds, where some impromptu races and outdoor sports will be indulged under the leadership of George James. Lieutenants R. H. Schleuter and C. C. ‘Williams will sist Captain Spillane, The Bay City Wheelmen will tour to Camp Taylor to-day under Captalin Menne, taking the 8 o’clock Sausalito boat and train to San Anselmo. At the club- house an advance list of those intending to go had fifty-four signatures on it last night, and with the addition of those who regularly delay making up their minds to do anything until the last minute the number omises to be unusually large. An excellent dinner in pro: e other end and the short, pl down Whit Hill are mainly accounta- ble for the large attendance. Captain Deacon of the Rellance Wheel- | men, Oakland, and Captain Agnew of the Acme Wheelmen have also arranged | runs for to-day, and altogether the day's sport is very promising. The racing men will be cared for to- { day in a big meet at San Jose again under the auspices of the Garden City Wheelmen. The programme includes a 10-mile lap race, one mile open, two miles multicy- cle and record trials by McFarland, Ste- vens and Ziegler. It is a good programme and should draw equally as well as did last Sunday The Capital City Wheelmen are think- | ing of promoting ‘a_meet on Sunday, the 19th, with all the Eastern stars compet- ing.
