The only regular scheduled event on any of the local links for this afternoen is a ladies’ putting contest on the Oakland course. If the weather {s at all favorable it is likely that some matches in the round robin tournament will be played on the Presidio course, which, owing to the | light, sandy character of its sofl, may be played on, even after heavy rains. The round robin matches which have so far been played resulted as follows: H. B. Goodwin has scored 2 against Worthing- | ton Ames, H. C. Golcher 1 against S. L. Abbot Jr.,, Lansing O. Kellogg 1 against R. H. Gaylord, and R. H. Gaylord 1 against Captain D. J. Rumbaugh.

J. McCutchen after tying with A. B. Williamson. This year the same scores were counted for both events, the gross in the gold medal contest and the net in the silver medal competition. Warren Gregory won the silver medal, his score being 99 less 10—89. The silver medal should be competed for each month, but no contest for it has taken place for a { lung time. | The annual meeting of the members of the San Francisco Golf Club takes place | this afternoon in the clubhouse, when of- ficers will be elected to serve during the coming year. It is probable that the same board will be re-elected. The ladles of the San Francisco Golf Club are manifesting great interest in the | game, though challenge class matches do | not occur with much frequency. Mrs. | R. G. Brown, however, is regularly chal- lenged by Miss Maud Mullins and retains | her place against all assaults. Captain Alice C. Hoffman has not been out at the | links for some time and consequently or- | ganized contests among the ladies have | been discontinued. There is a prospect however, of a highly interesting match between teams of eight ladies of the San | | Francisco Golf Club and a like number of the Oakland Golf Club. As the Oak- | land ladies were the losers at the contests | that took place on February 24 and March | 11 of last year, the challenge will come | { from them and will be issued as soon as | Mrs. Le Grand Cannon Tibbets returns | from the East.

Creely, veterinary sur- geon, convicted of maintaining a nuisance at his establishment on Golden Gate ave- nue, was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday. The Judge was notified by the Board of Health that a moderate fine would be satisfactory on the understand- ing that the nuisande must be abated or the defendant would be rearrested. The Judge thought the better way would be to continue the case for two weeks and meantime it could be seen if the nuisance was abated. | ADVANCE GUARD AND THREE HIGH-CLASS STARTERS IN THE NEW YEAR HANDICAP.

Now there isn't a duck-shooter that feels confident of bringing in any kind of a string, even if he shows his enthusiasm by forcing his luck. vasback, sprig and widgeon were flylng over the marshes in great numbers. All the lakes and ponds in Oregon and North- ern California have frozen over and the high winds, attended by a sinking of the mercury, drove the birds south flock after flock. Had this condition of affairs con- tinued a few days longer the shooting to- day and to-morrow would probably have been one of the best of the season. Should the weather clear to-day the usual weekly devotees will be out, but their expecta- tions are limited to a few stray ones. The canvasback been the bird of the past two weeks, but the latest reports show that they are not flying over the marshes in such vast numbers at the present time. Sprig and widgeon are coming in for a share of the duck-shoot- er's ccmpliments, On the Field and Tule Club last Sunday H. B. Hosmer, L. Titus, J. Wirtner, Fred Schrine, Burt Remmel, Al Cummings and ¥. B. Bell killed 150 birds. Titus was high bag and H. B. Hosmer a close second. On New Year's day Dr. Derby, Ed Briggs and Hart Willlams were out on the ponds, but {hey killed only seventeen birds. The Pringle Club members had a good shoot of “cans” last Sunday, but the ponds were too crowded with shooters for general convenience. Johnny Coleman, Frank Ireland, Phil Daly Jr. and Fred Bushnell planned a shoot at Byron for last’ Sunday, but a business hitch kept some of the members at_home, Milton Garatt will sail up the Sacra- mento River for a shoot this evening. J. F. Fassett will try the Gilroy coun- try for a few days. Dr. Charles H. sell, Dr. Robert Miller and C. F. Fuller bagged 300 sprig and teal in a two days' shoot ten miles east. of Dixon. The shooting. on the Napa marshes s excellent. Dick Dwyer, Phil Daly Jr. and Tod Sloan have planned a trip to the Drawbridge for Saturday and Sunday. ————— HUNT CLUB MEET AT MILLBRAE The San Mateo Hunt Club will meet at the Sixteen-Mile House, Milibrae, at 2 p. m. to-day. The run will be in a south- erly direction and the finish will be at Burlingame. The place of rendezvous on ‘Wednesday, the 9th, is_the north side of Crystal Spring dam at 2:30 p. m. On Sat- urday, the 12th, the hounds will be laid on same hour at Moormead, Falr Oaks. Francis J. Carolan {s expected to reach Califorgia on the 10th with the hounds which he has purchased in the East. These, with the hounds imported from Ireland, make up about a dozen couples, young, but well trained. ———l. COYOTE HUNT ACCIDENT, Captain Ed Selfridge, a member of the California Coyote Hunt Club, met with a painful accident last Sunday near Crock- ett. While out hunting his foot caught in a covered hole an enapped. The accident put a wet blanke on the coyote hunt, in which Dr. C. Quinan, K. Quinan, E. Selfridge and J. B. Kenniff participated.

Scavenger Cases Submitted. The argument in the scavenger cases was concluded in the United States Cir- cuit Court yuterd:x afternoon and the cases were submitted. The argument for the plaintiff was made by John A. Percy, Edward Leaming and Charles L. Tilden. Judge Morrow will render a decision at an early date.

Brady, manager of the Cincinnati | ight carnival and incidentally manager | of Jim Jeffries, arrived in Cincinnati this afternoon. Brady and Attorney Witte went over the law in the case thoroughly. Brady remarked: “It is infinitely strong- er than the Horton law in New York State was. There {s only one man on | earth who has the power to stop the fight and that is Mayor Fleischman. That gen- tleman has promised the Saengerfest So- clety that he would issue a permit as soon as they came to apply for it. That the Mayor. I am confldent Mayor Fleisch- | man will keep his promise.” As a matter of fact, the law under which Jeffries and Ruhlin are to fight is strong enough to bring the men together with battle-axes. The section stipulates that the Sheriff of any county or the Mayor of any incorporated city may issue a permit for a contest between man and man, nor is there any.limitation as to the number of rounds. Under the Suprems | Court finding it has been determlneg that | simply because of the fact that men bat- tle for a purse it does not constitute a Kmer ht. The seating capacity of the all will be Increased from 15,000, its pres- ent capacity, to 24,000. Brady has decided to put on a attraction as a prelude weight contest. He wants either Jack t or Terry McGovern against Fitz- simmons’ opponent. e ministerial opposition is still bit- ter, but gradually spending its force. A bomb, however, has been exploded by the stand taken fh Ohio by Senator Foraker. The Benator, it is understood, argues that a fight in Cincinnati will militate against his chances of success in the u.metdtn. It is known he walted upon Mayor Fleischman and implored him to revoke the promise of a permit. It s also known that Mayor Fletsoh- man curtly replied as follows: “Senator, If nothing hurts you any more in your campaign than this fight you can consider yourself reseated; but I'll be frank with you. I will-admit that no agency political or otherwise will induce me to break my word with the business people of Cincinnati.” Brady to-night voltinteered the services of Jeffries in a boxing exhibition againdt the champion's sparring rmnar here for the benefit of Harry Weldon, the stricken gporting editor of the Enquirer. It is thought Ruhlin will be et“lally magnani- mous. Tt is proposed to bring the testi- monial off a night or two prior to the big mill. Turner and Christie Matched.

The first of the big new year’s stakes at | Union Coursing Park will be the Intro- duction, set for Sunday, January 6. Be- sides this stake the regular open event will be for 112 dogs, many of which are of fine quality. The Introduction stake will bring to- | gether an exceptionally fine lot of dogs— champlons every one of them, and the best the local kennels can offer. Curtis & | Sons _will be represented by Anchor, Fly- ing Fox, Beacon and Narcissus. E. Geary | will have Palo Alto bearing his colors, J. | H. Rossiter Rural Artist and Risky At- tempt. R. L. Taylor has named Mose, and | Heenan & Welch have entered the win- ner of the John Grace stake, Sacramento Boy. This stake contains enough fine greyhound blood for any coursing. Owing to the necessary guarding Bea- con will meet Mose in the first course for the stake favorite. Beacon has the back- ing of the talent for stake honers, Palo Alto running second. Mose has been running very strong of late, and this will give Beacon work from | the very start. Palo Alto meets Narcis- | sus in the first round, and hers too the work will be of no easy stamp for either | Curtis’ or Geary’s dog. Just what performance Sacramento Boy will give is a question troubling the minds | of the talent. Sacramento Boy is particu- | larly strong on good strong hares, his | staying powers coming to his rescue. Of | late the hares have been weak. | Lady Clare is in excellent form at pres- ent, running in exceptional style. This _entire stake will be run off on Sun- day. To-day the first round of the 113-dog stake and agor!inn of the second round will be run off. Wiiliam Growtay | the owner of Mem- v, the best of Eastern dogs, will send the'dog to San Francisco. Judge Grace did a plece of detective work last week that evoked the praise of the police department. He located a stolen dog in two hours after the police had been engaged for a week in trying to find the hound. The California Coursing Committes has had representatives all over the State, who, in _the interest of the stud book, traced the whelping of litters which oc curred in the latter part of the month of December.
