Kennedy has resigned his position as superintendent of the Olym- plc Athletic Club, after having served that institution during the past vears. He will be succeeded on October 1 by H. C. Houghton, an insurance man, who is prominently identified with the Bohemian Club. The superintendent is practically the working head of the club and possibly, unconsciously, has much to do in framing its policy. The Olympic Club was founded on ama- teur athletics and all the fame it ever gained was through its amateur runners, hoxers and cyclers. In recent vears it has in a degree turned from these and has lost prestige.

The preliminary examination of Frank McConnell on the ¢ rge of mansiaugh- ter'it. causing the death of “Jim" Fran at Woodward's Pavilion, on the night of ‘August 16, was continued before Judge Conlan yesterday afternoon. Hiram Cook, the referee of the fight, testified that both McConnell and Franey were scicntific men and the contest dif- fered In no way from the usual boxing contest. The men were friendly through- out the contest. Sergeant Blank testified that he examined the gloves prior to the fight and found them overweight. J. J. Groom, one of the promoters of the fight, testified that the two men fought for a percentage of the gate receipts in the usual way. It was the custom alw to have the gloves in these contests over- | weight. This closed the case for the prosecution and Attorney Choynski for the defense moved for a dismissal on the ground that no malice had been shown on the part of defendant, and the charge of man- slaughter could not stand. The motion wa. opposed by Prosecuting Attorney Low, who contended that the National Club, under whose ausplces the fight was held, had not complied with the State law, as | it was not a genuine athletic club.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—There was a big attendance at the Brooklyn Jockey Club track to-d kes for two-year-olds being on the card. When the betting began there w no question of the favorites, for nearl everybody wanted to back Mesmerist, 0 the Bromley pair were backed as if it was all over. Modrine, High Order and the Madden pair were the only other ones backed. The start was prompt and good and Modrine was soon in front by a com- fortable margin, with Mesmerist at the head of the bunch behind, none of them being out of it. Up to the bac they flew, and although Mesmerist was ng easily in second place he was not king up any of tRe distance that sep- arated him from the leader. As they rounded the upper turn, however, he gradually cut down Modrine's when straightened out for home was in front. In the meantime High Order and Ildrim were very much in evidence, having come up from behind, and at the last furlong a blanket would have covered them. Then | High Order began to falter, but stuck at | his work and finished gamely half a length behind the favorite and a neck in front of Ildrim, who in turn was a neck in front of Modrine. Imp was a hot fa- vorite for the first special, even money being laid against her at post time, and she won easily.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 12.—It was Gran- gers' day at Agricultural Park this after- noon and the visitors from the rural dis- | tricts were among the early comers to the track. Long before the gates were opened the price of gold bricks had taken an upward tendency, but the market was | dull with little doing. The patroas of husbandry were attentive lookers-on, but | speculated little. The weather was warm | as usual and mosquito-net clothing is still in much demand. Speculating on the harness events was uncertafn as usual. Dolly D won the 2:19 trot and it was hard telling whether or not she was favorite. Diawood at remu- nerative odds won the 2:12 class pace. In the running events the talent fared better, three choices scoring. The rich Futurity stake for two-year- olds of the running division was the stel- lar event of the programme. Just a year ago the stable of Burns & Waterhouse carried off the prize with Bonibel, and to-day repeated the turn with San Tomas, a son of imp. Brutus and Deception. The winner, coupled in the betting with Bee Bee, ruled odds on choice, the only other starters being The Echo and Constella- tor. Bee Bee, with Charley Thorpe up, | could have won hands down, but was | eased up at the finish to permit her stable companion to earn the laurels. The Echo seemed possessed of no speed whatever |and Constellator looked outclassed. | The 2:19 class trot, first decided, was | captured by Dolly 'D, the Santa Rosa stock farm representative. In the open- ing heat the mare, a second choice in the betting, ended up in third position, owing to a disastrous break early in the game. Thereafter the daughter of Sidney Dillon | seemed to have her field at her mercy, | for she won hands down. Athavis, han- dled by Dan Mizner, took the first heat | at odds of 8 to 1, thus cinching second | money. Twilight, guided by Dick Havey, won third money. Hoppled, distrusted and disgraced in his last time out, Diawood, a son of Di- ablo, downed his field like breaking sticks | in the class pac The books, not noted for generosity, laid 8 to 1 against the pacer for the opening heat, which he won easlly from the favorite, Don. Beach- | wood was also out for a ‘“killing,” but after leading to the paddock stopped to a wal The latter was really the “‘good thing” of the afternoon.

Yacht Gruant Will Detend Cup. 'TRUANT WILL DEFEND " THE CHALLENGE CUP { This will be the fourth contest for the perpetual challenge cup, which was pur- chased by subscription in 1895 and de- posited with the Encinal Yacht Club as trustee. In that year the San Francisco Yacht Club challenged with F. C. Bart- lett's sloop Queen, which was beaten by the Encinal defender, El Sueno. In 18% the San Franciscos challenged again with the sloop Catherine, but she was defeated by the Encinal yacht Fawn. In 1897 the | Corinthians challenged with the Aeolus, | which defeated the Fawn and won_the | trophy, which has not been challenged for until a few weeks ago. Ex-Commodore J. W. Pew, HE directors of the Corinthian Yacht Club decided yesterday to defend the perpetual challenge cup, of which the Corinthians have been the holders since 1897, with ex-Commodore J. W. Pew's sloop Truant. Last season the Truant measured slightly over twenty- nine feet in racing length, and so would | not have been eligible as a defender of the cup, the extreme permissible length of the defending hoat being 28.05 feet, or 10 | per cent greater than the racing length of the challenger, the Gadder, of ‘the San Francisco Yacht Club. In order to reduce her water-line length the Truant has been | lightened. considerably and In the heavy weather that prevailed during the regatta | of September 9 she seemed somewhat tender.

The members of San Francisco Flycast- ing Club drank.a silent toast to the mem- ory of Harry F. Emeric at their meeting last night. Prior to this touching cer mony the scene was an impressive o as the members listened intently to gracefully worded eulogy pronounced by Fish Commissioner Vogelsang on the m who is said to have done more in his lifetime for fish and game interests in Caiifornia than any other individual. The toast was drunk standing. Archie J. Treat presented a series of views of the trouting streams of the Lake Tahoe and Glen Alpine district. They seemed in effect to take the anglers fro.n the wind swept streets of the city into the mountains _they all know so weli. With the ald of a_ stereopticon, operated by H. C.

The majority of the photographs by Mr. Treat and showed t most_artistic_bits of mountain scenery. Mr. Treat adds the accompiishment of an- gler to that of photographer and handled his subject from the standpoint of the former.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Great peril be- set the Shamrock yesterday afternoon and a views were' from Sir | evening at the height of the easterly gale. The scow Ulster, with the spare spars of the challenger, dragged her anchor, and was only prevented from drifting down upon the yacht by the heroic efforts of the combined crews of the Lipton fleet. Three attempts were made by the men of one of the launches before success crowned their efforts. With heavy lines fast the barge was slowly towed from her dangerous proximi to the yacht. Then | lines were thrown to the Shamrock, and with one around her steel mast near the deck and another to her mooring buoy she was dragged to a position of safety. The Shamrock’s topmast, which had been housed, was sent up. Then the new main sail was bent and when it was in lace it was readily seen what Sir Thomas Lipton meant when he said he had su prises in store for American yachtsme It is crosscut fashioned, after the biz salls turned out by the Herreshoffs.
