MONTE, Aug. 2l.—As early as half past 8 this morning the crowd sought the golf links 1o watch the final game for the golf championship. It was an energetic crowd and followed the players around the links. The ladles were in the | minority at that early hour, but by 10 o'clock, when the golfers of the gentler sex stood ready to begin the qualifying game, there was a splendid gathering on hand. Mrs. Gilman Brown was the last one to reach the links. She had an air of confidence about her and there was a glit- ter of determination in her eyes. The first one to greet Mrs. Brown was Miss Caro Crockett. There was a cordial handshake, which was all the more conspicuous see- ing that the ultra-fashionables here have declded against the palm to palm salute. A nod on the part of the lady, a low courtesy from the gentleman who holds his hands behind his back, is the sanc- tioned fashionable greeting. Walter Martin Arrives. Another late arrfval was Walter Mar- tin. He came speeding along on his wheel and made a dash to reach the side of his bride, fearful lest he would be too late to see her “drive’” But he was many minutes too soon and he employed his time in doing the gallant and hunting around for a bit of string to tie back the cuff of Miss Hager's rolled up sleeve. He was ready with his camera when Mrs. Martin took her club in hand. The young husband is authority for the statement that he is positive he got a splendid pic- "fhe Martins are a most unmarried-lik couple. There i8 nothing honeymoony about them, nor yet is there the easy fa- miliarity that characterizes the pair whose honeymoon has waned. Theyv are very correct toward one another. There is an elegant formality about their greet- ings and moments of tete-a-tete conver- sations, Perhaps that is the reason wl all Mrs. Martin's friends persist in ai- luding to her as Mary Scott and why the secretary made the mistake of calling her Jootert JEFFRIES WANTS ONLY BIE MONE If Bids Are Not Heavy Enough He Will Not Fight. At Harry Corbett's at 1 o'clock to-day the bids of the fight promoting clubs for the Jeffries-Rihlin mill will be opened and the club which is to receive the fight will be then awarded the contest under certain provisions. When the agreement was signed Tues- day afternoon the sailing was smooth. Clause after clause was read and then the whole adopted and signed without a murmur. The clubs were notified that bids would be in order and there the mat- ter rested. . But now trouble has arisen. Billy De- laney in a letter to Billy Madden declares that unless the offers of the clubs are blg enough for one who is a champfon | his man will not entertain them. In fact unless the purses or the percentage of- fers are round and fat Jeffrles will not fight Ruhlin for a moment. The San { Francisco Club and the Twentieth Cen- tury Club will be the bidders. ‘When Jeffries and Ruhlin were matched to fight in Cincinnati the published agree- ment between the promoters and the fight managers called for 55 per cent of the gross receipts. Madden declares, how- ever, that the agreement was in reality for 0.per cent. Judging from the com- plexion and tone of the pugilists’ man- agers an equally high bid must be ofiered'l | Chinrer vs. Kid Healy. i £ | PIR__fEaR | i eV} mf/wfm’ kS S 5 b ONE OF TWO OF THE BEAUTIFUL MAIDS AT DEl, MONTE BY THE SEA, AND SCENES AND INCIDENTS ON THE POLO FIELD AND THE GOLF LINKS AT THE SUMMER RESORT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO FASH- TONABLES. 5 * A e - Miss Scott when “drive.” Mrs. Scott is one of the most enthusi- astic of golfers.

The dogs missed the trail, 8ot Into the woods and are probably now chasing the deer of the grand old forest instead of being safely housed in the Carolan kennels. Several of Carolan's men went out this morning and with barking hounds and tooting horns vainly tried to gather in the lost animals. Caro- lan is rather upset by the loss and his men wili make another attempt to find the dogs to-morrow. The only thing here that might be con- strued as a romance. the devotion of | Charlie Dunphy to Miss Rowena Burns, has simmered down to the courteous at- tention of a son to his mother’s guest. Miss Burns is here with her father and | both are the guests of Mrs. Dunphy. The | young couple are not engaged nor likely to become engaged, at least they say so, and certainly they ought to know. Greenway is distinguishing himself here in the very becoming and altogether ne “It is this way, proudly explains the leader of cotillons. “The mothers know I'm religble and that they can trust me. If a .loting parent says T want my daughter home at 10:30 the girl goes home at 10:30, and there is nothing that she can do or say that could cause me to break my word to her mother.” Greenway is showing more clothes than any other man here.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 21.—Hugh Swainey met death at his own hands this morning. For years he has been employed in a lime- stone quarry near his_home, which over- looks Santa Cruz on High street, and it was with a stick of dynamite, which ex- plosive was used by him daily in blasting, that he ended his life. He held the stick of dynamite in his teeth while he touched it off. His head was blown off. Mr. Swainey has been a very sick man for some time and this was the reason for his suicide. He was an old settler and married a Miss Dodero of one of ‘ne old wealthy Spanish families. His home was on one of the finest sites in this vicinity. He is _survived by a widow, a daughter. Mrs. Emma Kelly, and a_son, Louis Swainey. He was a nafive of Penn. sylvania and 63 years of age. IR BTTOR Y, Planning for Santa Rosa’s Fair.

NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 21-W. A. Larned was ‘the victor to-day in the final contest for the national lawn tennis cham- pionship, defeating Beals C. Wright in an interesting series of games. Larned took the opening game of the match by the t aggressive play. The second game a long deuce one, the call coming five times before Larned tock it, aided con- siderably by Wright's two double faults. In the third Wright took a brace and scored a love game, Larned taking a turn at double faulting. After that Larned got the young Bostonian on the run and i |allowed him only one more game, the sixth. Larned started the second of unsteady playing, making three double faults in the opening game, which went to Wright after fourteen points had been played. The next also he got on his own service, but Larned began to pick up, tak- | ing the third at fifteen and the fourth | | after deuce. This made the games even t with a bit at twe all. The odd one went to the older man at love on his own service. His | | smashing was a great factor.

T, Special Dispatch to The Cail. SEATTLE, Aug. 21.—Fights for the pos- sesslon of paying claims are occupying the attention of the miners of Nome. No. 6 on Rock Creek, belonging to the Pioncer Mining Company. has been visited by Colonel Miller and a body of picked re- cruits, which claimed possession of the property and ordered the employes to leave at the ' point of revolvers. Jafet Lindborg, a member of the company that owred the mine, at once proceeded to the camp of the United States soldiers and informed them what had taken place. A detachment of troops was dispatched to the scene of the trouble and it was n long before Colonel Miller decid: it would not be good policy to go eadga(irr::: Uncle Sam’s soldiers. Taking his men he quietly left the claim. Several days later Colonel Miller, with a number of men, made another attempt to gain possession of the disputed claim, but was again driven back by the soldiers. At Bluestone nearly every claim of an: value is in litigation and it is very dif- ficult to })redlct what the final outcome will »o." It is understood that a number of men are forming cliques to relieve the hard working men of their claims. Abbot will meet at Charter Oak Park, Hartford. Wednesday, September 4. The contract calls for a three in five race with a $7000 purse, $5000 to the winner and $2000 to the loser. SAVING IS EASY, But fortune comes to those most skillful in exercising it.
