The, Cor-| inthian fleet will also cruise up to Vallejo to-day and will anchor off Mare Island. To-morrow the first race of the season from Vallejo to Sausalito will take place among the yachts of the San Francisco fleet. There was to have been a reception and jinks at Vallejo to-night, at which the ccmmodore and members of the Val- lejo Yachting and Boating Club were to have been hosts of the city yachtsmen, but the clubhouse at Vallejo is not yet far erough advanced to recelve visitors, and so, for the present at least, the entertaln- ment has been called off. | the occ: t Club's | to Sausalito on May 21, 1889, J.

J. Lynch, with full power to draw on the club funds, for the purpose of having the necessary surveys and plans made. The committee consists of W. T. Howe, L. Franks, F. W. Col- lins, W. McKee and Charles Wilson. Tie house will be built on a rock distant about | a hundred yards from the shore and af- | fording an excellent location for the pur- | poses of a boat club. Concrete piers and walls in addition to the rock will make a fine foundation and there will always be deep water for swimming and launch- ing boats at any state of the tide. Though the Arfel Club has not yet been served with notice to_quit the present quarters | on Long Wharf it is expected that service of the notice will not be delayed long and it ie hoped to have the lower story of tne new house ready for use when the uld quarters have to be given up. The second can be added later as funds permit. Plans for & boathouse forty feet by sevanty feet bave been aiready drawn up, but the com- mittee will visit the other houses round the bay before finally adopting them. In consequence of the removal from Long Wharf to the new site the proposed club regatta may be given ub, or it may be held 2s a farewell ceremony. The new site was granted by the Harbor Commission- ers, who promised that the oarsmen will | not be disturbed in its enjoyment. The Pioneer Rowing Club held a meet- ing at its boathouse on Long Wharf on | Sunday_and appointed a committee, of which T. Sands is chairman, 40 waif on the Harbor Commissioners and ask them | to bnllnl a site forya boathouse to the club. At the club regatta of the South Fnd oarsmen last Sunday George McGrill in a shell beat James P. Foley in'a wherry by one length over the Long Bridge course. In a four-oared barge race Frank | Duplissea’s crew beat E. Scullv's crew. The winning crew was made up of C. C. | Dennis, bow; Emil Blumlein, 2; E. Pallas, | 3; Frank Duplissea. stroke, and Robert Thedy, cockswain. The losing crew cou- sleted of A. Carson, bow: E. McDuff: J, P. Foley, 3; E. Secully. stroke, and bert ‘Sonnenberz, cockswain. The race to | the turn was close, but an the way home | Duplissea’s crew took the lead and won /| by two lengths.

Owing to the increa: ing popularity of the game a large entry is_exected. Last year Lowell High School, repre- senied by Drummond McGavin and Al erberg, carried off the honors in both singles and doubles, and it looks as f that school will again be on top this year. Lowell will be represented by Al Rosen- berg end Norman Hodgkinson, who are by far the best players in the league. These two young cracks are near the top of the second class in the California Ten- nis Club. Rosenberg {s afflicted with keart trouble and may not be able to play, and in this case his place will be taken by Carl Gardener in the doubles. Hodgkin- son will play the singles, as Rosenberg Championship Tennis Tournament of the Academic Athletic League Will Be Fought Out on the California Club will play in the doubles only, if at all. It is the intention of the managers to finish the singles and doubles to-day, and for this reason but one set will be played in the preliminary matches, two out of three in the semli-finals and three out of five in the finals. If not finished to-day the final matches will be played next Saturday morning. The most promising piayers on the coast at present are Drummond McGavin, Harry Wiehe, Al Rosenberg, Norman Courts This Morning. Hodgkinson and Grant Smith. One or mtre of these players will undoubtedly be champion of the coast before many years have passed. Of the lower class men the most promising are Duval Mcore, Sidney Ealisbury and Chester Smith. McGavin of California and Wiehe of Stanford have played tennis at the Cali- fornla Club courts for years and their im- provement in the last few months has beer very steady. The former will play in the championship tournament on the Feurth of July, but the latter will be un- able to play on account of a dislocated shculder. Al Rosenberg and Norman Hodgkinson, both of Lowell High School, were un- heard of till a few months ago, but are now near the top of the second class. Grant Smith, with'but three years of ex- perience to his credit, is weil up in the second class. The tournament at Sacramento for the championship of Northern California has of the tennis The doubles Woodland, a \Wwho defeated the champions, Elliott an of Penryn.

Whitney, of the best players on the coast. The singles event will probably be won by H. Elliott of Penryn, who will have for his opponent Allen of ‘Woodland. Dr. Phillip of the California Tennis Club has been .playing a remarkable game of late, and, although taking no part in any of the tournaments, can gi-—e any of the second class men a rub. The doctor, who is nearly 50 years of age, is a marvel of speed on the courts, and his back court work is very accurate. There will be a tournament to-day at Fcitt's School for the championship of that academy. There will probably be an impromptu tournament at the California tennis courts to-morrow.

The condi- tions imposed make the affair one of great interest, not only to the nominators, but to the patrons of the game. The meeting will be held on Thursday next, and al- ready the boys are looking for the best material in the midweek class of coursers. The loser of a first course will be fined, and no guarding will be permitted. That the event is to be exclusive is shown by the fact that nominators must take their hounds to the slips, catch them after the trial and return them to the kennel. Dea- con Edel will alternate with Judge Grace in the saddle, and George McE. Malcolm will take turns with Jim Grace at the slips. lgclhlng will be left undone to make the affalr a top-notcher in coursing circles. Frank McComb has purchased Hot Haste and_ Sir Van. Hot Haste is one of the good performers and ranks among the fastest youngsters of the day. Honesty has whelped two puppies to For Freedom. Wiiliam Perry has been given a license by the committee. The Pasha kennels have purchased Wayfarer from H. Perigo. Wayfarer is a litter brother of Emin Pasha, whose death was recently recorded, and is held by many to be the best dog ever coursed in America. When but seventeen months old the grand courser made the phenom- enal record of three straight stake vie- score a_single point. With Flying Buck, Royal Buck, Skyball, Right Bower and other fast ones as contestants -in these | events, Wayfarer's performances are, in- deed, unchallenged. Wayfarer will take Emin Pasha's position in the Pasha ken- nels’ stud. J. H. Rosseter, R.. K. Malcolm ang D. Delury have been appointed a committee to take charge of the California Coursing work as cockswain. Committee stake, which is on the card for the 26th. One of the features will be the addition of more money for the contest- unts. Special prizes will be given to dogs beaten by the winner, the runner-up and by the dogs getting third and fourth posi- tion. ~This will jnsure for nearly every entry a slice of the prize money. C. W. Edgcumbe has been elected a rep- resentative from the Vallejo Coursing Club, vice C. G. Pearl. The coursing board has imposed a fine on the Los Angeles, Vallejo and San Jose clubs for allowing unregistered dogs to course in stakes under their management. The following breedings have been reg- istered: Dudley Diamond to Snowdrop, May 3; Gold Hill to Richmond Queen, May 5; Prétender to Trinket, May 1; For- tuna ¥Favente to Recording Angel, April 27; For Freedom to Miller's Rabbie, April 29: Emin Pasha to Twin City Girl, April 27, Little Wonder has whelped a litter of eight puppies to' Emin Pasha.

Smith has sold Password to J. L. Frwin._and Svivanus, Jennie Wilson, In- jury, Petronius -and XKenneth to 8. A.| Smith. F. B. Gerber has registered Mount Ida and Rienzi in his own name. The Eastern judge at the bench show took kindly to For Freedom and named him the winner in the free for all class. The decision 18 certainly a satisfactory one and proves the courser’s ciaims. For Freedom in his running days won every stake in which he was named in America, including big open stakes, champlon events and open plains meetings. Among other winners were Crulser, Fortuna Fa- vente, Connemara, Cavalier and.Young America. Likely winners in to-day’s stake are For Glory, Motto, Bohe.

GOLFERS TAKE A SHORT REST The open tournament of the San Rafael Golf Club held last Saturday brought out some close contests in the men's event, B. D. Adamson and Warren Gregory iy- ing for first place with a score of 103 for the eighteen holes, S. L. Abbot Jr. and H. C. Golcher tying for third olace with 108, J. W. Byrne handing in 109 and R. Gilman Brown 110. P. E. Bowles Sr. and P. E. Bowles Jr. were the only inembers of the Oaklarid Golf Club who vlayed, though Ernest R. Folger, J. A. Fo}'er and others had entered. When the tie between B. D. Adamson and Warren Gregory was played off over eighteen holes iast Sun- day morning B. D. Adamson proved an easy winner with a score of 104 to W. Gregory’s 114, and captured the handsome three-handled silver cup. Some surprise was expressed that the winner did not hand_in a score below 100 for the two rounds, but it may be said@ that the course 'i{s narrow and that a mistake is heavily penalized. It is, however, very sporty and offers plenty of opportunities for. good golf. To-day was set for the return match Dbetween teams of the San Rafael and Sausalito Golf clubs, but the game has been postponed for two weeks, as R. Gll- man ro\Sn and Dr. H. 0. Howitt of the San Rafael team are absent and the Sau- salito Club_has been weakened by the departure of the Albatross, the officers uf which are enthusiastic golfers, F. B. Findley, one of the strongest Sausalito players,'is also out of practice. It is expcet- ed that both clubs will be able to get to- gether teams more fairly representative of their strength on the 25th. The recent rain has brought up the thistles and the thick grass on the Sausalito course and made play_ difficult. The -clubhouse is nearly ready for occupancy, though {he lockers have mot yet been put in. It is probable that the Visit of the San Rafael olfers will be made the occasion of ia ouse-warming. The Radlnngs Country Club now has comfortable quarters in a large, roomy bungalow surrounded on three sides by a_ broad plazza. The interior woodwork of the living-room is dark Teen. ‘which makes an effectlve contrast with the great fireplace of red brick, above and around which is a gallery for musiclans. Behind the living-room are the dressing-rooms, one for each sex, the kitchen and pantry; and off the main hall is the tearoom, a semi-circular apartment with lattice win- dows and an open fireplace. The new eighteen-hole course is now in order. The club has a list of seventy-eight “‘regular” amt five ‘“unfor” members. The >fficers are as follows: President, F. P. Morri- son; vice president, A. B. Stirling: secre- tary and treasurer, J. H. Fisher: directors —the above and George E. Otis, A. 8. Auchinloss, H. M. Paine, L. D. Schaffer, F. C. Hornby and Henry Fisher. —————— HUNDRED-MILE -RELAY CONTEST The annual hundred mile relay race of the California Assoclated Cyclists will be held to-morrow, starting in this city at 9 a. m. and finishing in Alameda about 2 p. m.; the route being from the corner of Larkin and McAllister streets, thence out of the city via San Bruno Road, passing San Mateo, Menlo and intermediate points to Ban Jose, thence returning on the other side of the bay to Alameda, the finish being near Park street and Cen- tral avenue. Trere are five teams entered in to-mor- row's race, ten men each from the Bay City, Olympic, Garden City, Callfornia and Reliance Wheelmen. The entries were published in The Call yesterday. The teams seem to be very evenly matched on paper. The race is for a beautiful troph: donated to the assoclation by Leavitt Bill of this city. The finish of the annual relay races is usually quite spectacular and attracts a large crowd from this city and other points, most of whom will go to Alameda on the 12:30 boat from this city. Bulle- tins showing the prog: of the race will be posted near the ng point. The race is in charge of G. Montealegre, chairman of the racing eommittee, and a corps of assistants. CRICKET POSTPONED. Owing to the visit of President McKin- ley the cricket match set for to-morrow between teams of the Pacific and Santa Cruz Country clubs will not take place at that time on the ground at Webster street, On ‘Alameda. The Santa Cruz men find it im- } Will hold & big ossible to leave their own ¢ity on Sun- ay, as J. F. Coope, their captain, is a meémber of the reception committee of the Presidential party. The match has been postponed by mutual consent to Decora- tion day, when the Santa Cruz team will visit Alameda. Decoration day having been left open on the schedule .he post- {dnement will cause no disarrangement of he programme. TRAP SHOOTERS ARRANGE FOR MANY EVENTS Prize Shoots That Will Keep Marksmen Busy at Ingle- side and at Alameda Point Blue rocks will be shattered and live birds will be grassed at Ingleside and Ala- meda Peint to-morrow. All the clubs will ,hold shoots and a number of private ‘matches will be shot off in both places. The San Francisco Gun Club will smash blue rocks at Ingleside; the Olympic Club will hold a live bird race on the same grounds, and the Empire Gun Club will operate at Alameda Point. N. H. Neustadter had the pleasurs of paying for a dinner for eight gunmen at a downtown rotisserie last Tuesday night. The dinner was the outcome of a live bird match between the host and Otto Feuvdner a week ago. Feudner, by some remarkable shooting, overcame the handi- cap allowed Neustadter and the latter had to stand the expense of a banquet for the following well-known devotees of the sport: _ Achille Roos, Otto Feudner, eorge H.

Hererra is not taken very seriously by the sporting public, yet he has done soma ellent work, is strong and talks brave- The people from Bakersfleld are anx- fous to back him, but they have neverseen McGovern fight when he had to fight, so their opinions and reckless offers do not count for much.

At first that organization promised something novel in fisticuffs for | the Fourth of July—an open air perform- ance in which the heavyweights would do | a brief turn or two and then pass out. | But this has been knocked in the head by | the indisposition of the heavyweights who | will not be seen here until August or Sep- | tember, if at all.

So does the entieth | Century, for that matter. The chances of | lively bidding seem ripe. For its July date the San Francisco Club negotiated with Jack Moffatt and Jack Root. Pooler, who manages Mof- fatt, wants none of Root, who, he says, is too heavy for his man. So this fight Is off, but there are others that are in the mind’s eve. 4 | ANGLERS WHO | HAVE SUCCESS J. A. Pariser fished in the estuary on Wednesday afternoon and caught five bass averaging from two to two and a balf pounds. He landed a four and a half and a five and a half at once, something unusual, J. Bliss landed five striped bass on Thurgday night. Both men fished in the vicinity of Cotton Mill Point. Al Wilson fished in San Leandro Bay on Thursday and landed seven fine fish. The largest weighed seven and a half pounds. The San Francisco Flycasting Club will hold a meeting at Stow Lake this after- noon and another to-morrow morning. George Walters, Charles Breitenstein and Charles Precht caught many fish In Lake Pilarcitos last Sunday. They aver- aged thirty-five fish apiece. Frank Vernon, as usual, will journey to Point Reves on Sunday. J. Bruns, J. Karney and J. Maynard fished for striped bass at Sears Point last Sunday without success. W. F. Shattuck and son fished at the Petaluma Gun Club reserve and San An. tonio Creek, and young Shattuck landed an eight-pounder. The father and son got four fish between them. A. Power and Tom Power went to Boea last Sunday and between the two they brought away eight fine fish. They aver- aged nine inches. Bait and spoon were uscd chiefly. All the streams are reported to be run- ning clear. In the larger streams there is a great deal of snow water, making bait fishing better than fly. HANDBALL CONTESTS. At the San Francisco handball courts the following games will be played to- morrow: W. Williams and J. Lawless vs. D. Connelly and M. Joyce; W. Fisher and G. B. Hayward vs. M. Basch and W. H.

The contestants in the various classes are hard at work prepar- ing themselves for the coming games. ——— Boy With Criminal Instincts. Robert McKay, a ooy 16 years of age, appeared before Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace. Hs was fighting with some other boys at Russ and Folsom streets Thursday after- noon. and when Special Officer Dougherty interfered young McKay tore the star from his coat and used the vilest language toward him. McKay and the other boys attacked the officer and he had to use his elub. The case was continued, and when McKay went back to the prison he was booked on a charge of battery for striking an old woman. He has already served six months for striking a woman. He was arrested some time ago for burglary. but owing to his youth the jury acquitted him.
