L 3 THE SAN FKHANCISCO CALL, FKIDAY, AUGUST 3z, 1901. —_———— FOLLOWING THE HOUNDS FOR THE ELUSIVE DEER----YACHTS THAT WILL RACE FOR THE CHALLENGE CUP SPORTSMEN OPEN THE DEER SEASON ON MARIN COUNTY CLUB PRESERVES Luck Befalls But Few of the Shooters-——Country Club’s Special Train Meets With a Series of Accidents During the Trip From Sausalito to Point Reyes---Two Head-On Collisions Avoided HE opening of the deer season reads like a story of promises un- fulfilled. Very little venison will soak in white wine to-day for the delectation of the appetites of the blacktail hunters and their friends. The second day may bring its fruit but the first will linger long and poignantly in the bitter minds of the enthusiastic sports- men, The first of August, so reads the law, was set apart for the killers of deer to wreak their vengeance. Few wreaked and so the disgust is black and thick. On Wednesday the Country Club char- tered a special train from Sausalito to Point Reyes. Without malice an invita- tion was extended to the Point Reyes Sportsmen’s Club to take advantage of the golden opportunity and reach the happy hunting grounds some three hours in advance of the regular late afternoon train. The Point Reyes sportsmen re- sponded joyfully. On that train, which consisted of two DArrow-gauge cars, were Alec Hamilton, Frank Carolan, Dr. de Marville, Robert Oxnard, F. W. Van Sick- len, E. B. Prestcn, W. 8. Kittle and Andrew Jackson of the Country Club. The Point Reyes Club was represented by John Lemmer, General John H. Dick- inson, George W. Root, N. H. Hickman and two guests. That all these worthy sportsmen are alive is no fault of the railroad. Sudden death stared them in the face on two separate occasions of the trip north and when they arrived at their des- tinations it was discovered that the reg- ular late afternoon train was hot on the trail, not fifteep minutes behind. All sportsmen are full of signs and su- perstitions. This band is loud in vehe- ment denunciation of the railroad for a ruthless slaughter of first day chances. This is how it happened. When the be- lated and water-loving locomotive pulled out of the Sausalito shed with sportsmen, dogs and rifies, cartridges and other am- munpition it rolled on the wrong track. When Mill Valley was reached the engi- < | * SHOOT. POINT REYES SPORTSMEN’S CLUB LINED UP FOR ITS FIRST DEER neer, by timely throttle-reversing, avert- ed a head-on collision with a southbound train. Then the special backed all the way to Savsalito for a switch and the lo- comotive being thirsty at this time was treated to a drink. Undaunted, a fresh start was made. Smooth sailing was en- joyed until Larkspur was scented. Again progress received a sudden check, for an- other southbound train was met. This time the special back-pedaled for only a few miles and again the locomotive was bathed in water. The third start carried the excursionists to safe ports, W. S. Kit- tle and W. H. Hickman acting as look- outs to prevent locomotive incursions and raids. Marin County resounded with the bay- ing of hounds yesterday but very few shots were fired at the red game. The Point Reyes Club inaugurated its season by a general turnout. When the shoot began_the party was augmented by Thom- as J. Walsh, Fred S. Johnson. George W. Smith, John C. Nobman, W. M. Cashman and J. W. Crandall. ¥or five hours they beat bush and thicket for the quarry, but luck fell solely to Cashman’s gun. A fair- sized buck was his portion. At the noon hour lunch was served on the shore of Trout Lake and in two colors of wine ol was freely hope for shooting success thought of and spoken.

Out early in the morning, he caught the game, three shots bringing both deer to earth. On the same boat were Achille Roos, Harry Hos- mer and George Jackson. When Lehrke told the story of his shoot the three looked glummer than pallbearers. They had been in the saddle all day on the pre- serves of the Tamalpais Club. Roos was the hero of the trio, for he bore the dis- tinction of having seen a fawn. The other two simply enjoyed the natural beauties of the landsc: Although the first. day of the season ‘was not auspicious, better days are sure to come. The weather was exceptionally hot and as the dogs are as yet uncondi- tioned a fair test was not made. The ma- jority of the shooters will try their luck to-day and stay with the game until Mon- day before rest is taken. @ it et e e el @ WSS IGE N TORRID SUN Special Dispatch to The Call. EACRAMENTO, Aug. 1—The attend- ance was only fair to-day, the heat was intolerable and as the programme did not contain mary races of interest the pa- trons of light harness events did not turn out in crowds to see them. The judges were A. G. Gurnett, E. P. Heald and Wil- liem G. Layng; the timers, J. C. Quinn, Charles Durfee and J. A. McKenon. At 1 o'clock the first race was called. Tt was the event known as the San Fran- | cisco stakes. The entries and their odds were: Tirado, 3 to 2; Cricrl, 2; Puerto Rico, 3 to 2; Bolliver, 12, and Cyrene, 4. Although the talent favored Puerto Rico, Cricl, a handsome daughter of Direct (2:05%) and Cricket (2:10), experienced no trouble in winning the race in three straight heats, in 2:21%, 2:20 and 2:23%. The favorite had to take second piace in the first two heats, while in the last he broke badly and just saved his distance, Bolliver taking second place. The winner belongs to H. W. Meek of San Lorenzo ’nnd is a half-sister to Willlam Harold, ee to <18, The greatest enthusiasm prevailed in the grand stand when the next event was called. It was for the Sacramento Club stakes. The horses were driven by their owners and everybody' could se¢ that every man thought his horse should win. These embryo Hickoks, Goldsmiths, Dobles and McDowells drove their pacers and trotters from wire to wire with all the vim they could instill into their hand- some well-groomed favorites. The starters were L. 8. Upson's Régina, . C. W. Paine's Peo, F. Ruhstaller's Monroe Jr.. H. A. Bell’s Pansy, William ’s Candy Joe and F. E. Wright's Beaby Button. The summary tells the re- sults, but it does not give an idea of how keen was the rivalry between these gen- tlemen to win. Regina, ably handled by Upson, was never headed and won the v.hreonhuxl in 2:18, 2:21% and 2:21. Pansy was & good fighting second until the last heat, when Ruhstaller brought re- Juvenated Monroe Jr. to the front and in 2 masterly drive the place. The time mede was so excellent that all sim- liar organizations on this coast must strive to equal this exhibition. The race wes a “special, ' a race that was fn no way creditable to the par- ticipants, and the judges in removing the drivers of Penrose and Miramonte showed that their suspicions were well founded. It is to be hoped that no more “specials” of this kind will be allowed, al- though the association did what was con- sidered a fair thing to offer a race, not knowing that every one entered was strung to Kkeep the pacers from going too fast. As it was. all have got records and Penrose is eligible for the 2:22 class pacing races hereafter. To-morrow a free-for-all, with Myrtha Whips (2:10%), Edna R (2:11%) and Kelly Briggs (2:10%), will be one of -the prin- cipal attractions. On Saturday W. G. Layng’s Sir Albert S (2:11%), El Diablo (2:12%) and ten others, five of which have paced in 2:12 or better, will start in the 2:17 class pace. It is the talk of the town and promises to be one of the most mem- orable races seen in California for years, Following is the summary of to-day’'s races: First race; Cricri, b. m (Simpson) Puerto Rico, bl.

WOODLAND, Aug. 1—The entries for the Woodland race meeting. which com- mences on the 26th of August, have closed, but will not be announced until sufficient time has elapsed for letters mailed in the East on the last day of entry to have arrived. The very best horses in the State have been entered, and the indications are that the Fortieth Agricultural Fair will be one of the best in the Sate. Streets of Cedarville Flooded.

T.,, Aug. 1—The drawing of winning numbers in the United States | 1and lottery was concluded to-day, 13,000 | of the envelopes having been taken from the wheels, 6500 for each land district. The crowd about the platform on which the drawing took place was much smaller than on previous days. Beginning August 6, 125 names in each district will be called daily for sixty days for the filing of homestead entries. The estimate is made by a Government official that in each land district 1000 of the 6500 numbers will not be taken in the sixty days, because the homesteaders will be disqualified, or will leave the country, be- lieving their claims to be worthless. ‘This will leave only 5500 persons who will make entry in their respective districts. Two thousand claims will be left for the wagon emigrants and others who have been in the country for months and failed to draw a number. At the end of the sixty days, these persons can go immediately to their land office and file, or if they set- tle upon a homestead In advance of any other person, they can remain thereon three months before filing their entry. Homestead speculators, who registered for the sole purpose of selling their prize if winners, are already seeking to sell re- linquishments of their claims. For a World’s Championship. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—Sam Harris and Sam Fitzpatrick, the respective managers of Terry McGovern and Jack Robertson of London, the English feather-weight champion, met to-day and agreed on a match between their men for the world's champlonship at 12 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock in the afterncon on the day the fight is to take place. Thirty days from | to-day is the time given for the reception of bids from athletic clubs who may want to bring off the match, and all com- munications in this respect are to be sent to Al Smith, at the Gilsey House, this city. ——e——————— At a recent meeting of the directors of the Hebrew Hospital and Dispensary As- soctation of Newark, N. J., it was report. ed thet 1913 patients had been treated during the last six months, and 1883 pre- scriptions given. The dispensary is now in good condition. HODSON BRES THE IG GAUST Dudes Under His Guid- ance Wrest Victory From Frisco. o Rl Game Was Decided in Ninth Inning by Lohman’s Two Bagger. Rk g Oakland 10, San Francisco 8. The unlucky, downtrodden Oalkland team has good reason to rejoice, as it geve the leaders a decisive drubbing yes- terday. And Hodson was in the box, a coincidence which caused the fans to gy- rate with surprise. The Dudes took a good lead In the first; Drennan got a pass; Lohman was hit by the pitcher; Drennan was forced out at third, “Truck” Egan coming to the rescue with a clean hit, which brought “Mother” Lohman in. Before Evans could stop to take his bearings Dunleavy rolled out a double, scoring Streib. Fag- an”was caught at the plate, trying to score on Moskiman’s drive to Krug. While the doctor was stealing second Dunleavy crossed the rubber with the third tally, Arrellanes making the third out and re- tiring the side. The German stickers obtained three runs in the fourth round. Croll lead off with a two-bagger, Hildebrand following his example, which enabled Croll to score. Hildebrand = advanced to _third on Schwartz’s out and scored on Krug's hit. Nordyke, next up fattened his batting av- erage with another two-cushion swipe, sccring Krug. Three more of the Dutch made the cir- cult during the sixth, by means of three hits, a steal and a couple of errors. To cap the climax, and incidentally to add more interest to the contest, Nor- dyke planted the ball over the center fleld fence, bringing Schwartz in with him and making the score even. Josh Reilly, wish- ing to change the situation, struck out. It began to look like another long drawn contest when Oakland took its last stand in the ninth. Babbitt made a hit, but was put out at second on Hodson's attempted sacrifice. Drennan got his third pass to first. Pete Lohman came to the rescue at this stage with a clean two-base hit, Hodson and Drennan coming home. Charley Graham then made a very cost error in trying to get Streib at first, Loh- man scoring and Streib_going to second. Krug threw wide to Pabst, permitting Streib to come_home. The bell rang four times for the Brummels, who carried off the spoils by a score of 10 to 6. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. .B 0 2 > B Croll, Hildebrand, 1. 1. Schwartz, 2b....

But Count Matuszewski has a romantic his- tory behind him. Fourteen years ago he was exiled from the Czar's domains for undue sympathy with the laboring classes and as a disturber of the peace. Matus- zewski’s brother-in-law, Piotroski, is Supreme Judge at Warsaw, and has spent a_ fortune in a vain endeaver to secure Matuszewski's pardon. His two sisters also 'ive in Poland. One of them resides at Castle Yablona, near Warsaw, and is enormously wealthy. Matuszewski has re- ceived regular remittances from Poland, but they have been of modest groportlom on account of his eccentric habits. District Attorney Flint Resigns.

WOODLAND, Aug. 1.—During the last four or five months the claims against the county on account of squirrel tail bounty have been enormous and the suspicion of fraud has been aroused. It has been the custom to accept the count of the hunter or to count a pile of a hundred and esti- mate the rest. One day this week a claimant presented a lot purporting to number 4000 and re- quested . the County Clerk to certify to the number. The County Clerk decided to make a count, with the result that the lot was 1625 short. There seems to be no doubt that the Supervisors of this county have been paying for the tails of thou- sands of squirrels killed in Colusa County. —_———— Said a shrewd minister before the collec- tion was taken up: ‘Those who are in debt need not place anything on the plate.” The collection was double the usual amount. & AHINT will be amateurs, for though the deed of gift of the perpetual challenge cup is silent about the point whether profession- al sailors may be employed or not, it has been thought best to include no profes- sionals in either crew. The starting signal will be given at 2 p. m., and as it is low water at 1:40 p. m. on August 10 the race will be on a flood tide. The course will be from the foot of Taylor street to Presidio Shoal buoy: to and around Blossom Rock buoy: to and around the leeward stakeboat; to and around Presidio Shoal buoy; thence to starting line; leaving all marks on the port hand. MNCAT COLUMBI WING THE RAGE NEWPORT, R. 1, Aug. 1.—The Inde+ pendence had an opportunity. to-day ta show her mettle. Although defeated by the Columbia, she was by no means dis~ graced. Over a triangular ocean course of thirty miles, in a breeze light at the start and fresh at the finish, the Colum- bla beat her five minutes and fourteen seconds, corrected time. The Columbia at one time was nearly half a mile in the lead, but as the wind freshened the Ine dependence pulled up considerably. Then came a run down the wind with a breeze in the starboard quarter. The Inds - ence was left astern by the Columbla on this !;g From$the second mark to finish off Bren ton’s Reef Ufi):tlah(g,e it was a reach with o the wind a fore the port beam. In this leg the Inacpendence did her best work of the day. She gained one minute and forty-nine seconds. She was heeling over considerably at times and going very fast. She sailed the last leg of the course, ten nautical miles, in forty-five minutes and. forty-five seconds, better than thir- teen knots an hour. The Independence was measured by John Hyslop, the measurer of the New York Yacht Club, before she was towed out of the harbor this morning. About four tons of lead had been taken out of her, consequently her water line length was reduced to 83.03 feet, 14 inches less than the Columbla’s. " vslop figures out ng length at 102.79 feet, and calculated that she must allow Columbia 31 seconds over a mile course, instead of tne 43 seconds.s| was penalized in her previous races.
