Rosseter was pon for few remarks. because of the inadvertent omission of Tralee Boy's name from the list they are tears of joy.

Too much credit cannot be given the young black dog for his vie- tory. Imagine a puppy not yet 16 months old going through a 64-dog open stake where tried and seasoned winners were well in.evidence! One trait in the youngster's make-up that the wise ones were not slow in ac- knowledging and which is characteristic of his stake-winning sire is his capacity for work. Listlesslike at his first slip, Tralee Boy improve$ as he goes along, strong enough to lead a good bit.

It is likely, though, that with the lau- rels of the rich stake to winning owner will be only too anxious to add the honors of a decislon over the crack unplaced you er, and in that event the coursing enthusiast will be given a chance to see two great young hounds in a match race. Tralee Boy is bred on the same lines as Fearless Footsteps, the twice winner of England’s classic event. He is by Wild Tralee, who is by St. Lawrence, out of imported Buenretiro, she out of Green- tick. His dam, J clipse (imported), 1s by celebrated Herschel. Fiery Footsteps is by Fabulous Fortune, who is by Her- schel and out of Fille de Feu, who is out of Greentick. These strain® are repre- sented by the best of England’s coursing stock. Herschel has been bred to Green- tick bitches, but with no marked success, but scns and grandsons have been bred to daughters and granddaughters of Green- tick and the result has produced winners. t DISSATISFACTION INCREASES AMONG THE ROWING CLUBS Oarsmen Will Confer About Advisability of Withdrow- ing From Pacific Coast A Association. sssatisfaction of the oarsmen with which the San Francisco recent Astoria regatta was is still voicing itself loudiy.

Tt is also reported that Gloss of the Portland Rowing Club, who won the senfor sculling race at Astoria, will visit S8an Franeisco to try conclusions with Pape. who did not visit the northern carnival this vear. The races will prob- ably take place at Belvedere. —_———— Amimals Becoming Extinct. The African quagga is extinct and sev- eral familles of antelopes have been wiped out of existence. Zebras are scarce; gi- raffeseare few In number; the rhinoceros and hippopotamus are passing fr>m view; but the helladotherium (hitherto only known through fossil remains found in Greece) still roams through the forests of Uganda. The helladotherium is of the size of an ox; its neck is a little longer, pro- portionately, than that of a horse, the ears are like those of the ass with silky black fringes, the head taper-like and the nos- trils like those of the giraffe. The fore- head is a vivid red, and the neck, shoul- ders, stomach and back a deep reddlsh brown, and the hind quarters and legs are boldy striped in purplish black and white. —Charleston New: —_———— So Would They All “It's easy enough to tell,” remarked the girl In the fur jacket, “that men write the paragraphs in the newspapers.

As the shoot is open to all and the regular club shoot falls on the same day. special arrangements will be made in order to prevent a conflict. To do this it has been decided that the scores for the club championship diamond medal for the day will ‘alse be counted for the State cham- plonship Yellowstone trophy and in the money match the last twenty birds shot at will be counted for the Schumacher handicap trophy. By this arrangement the Yellowstone and Schumacher events will be done away with. According to-schedule the big open events are to begin promptly at 10 a. n:!‘ . + * | | | | i | 1 5 -+ | SOME OF THE YOUNGSTERS THAT HAVE MADE THEIR BREEDING GOOD IN THE PRELIMINARY TRIALS TO THE GREAT FUTURITY EVENT WHICH IS NOW IN ACTIVE COURSE AT UNION PARK.

There are classes for yachts baving a racing length of twenty feet or under, mors than twenty feet but not exceeding twen- ty-five feet, more than twenty-five but not. exceeding thirty feet, more than thirty but not exceeding thirty-six feet, more than thirty-six but not exceeding forty-four feet, and more than forty-four but not exceeding seventy feet. There will also be a special class for yawls hav- ing e racing length of thirty-six feet or less, no allowance being made for the rig. The yachts will cross the line to a one- gun start in each class. The first yacht in each class will win a sllver cup, a pennant and a certificate of merit, while the second yacht in each class will re- ceive a pennant and a parchment. The silver cup in the twenty-foot class will be presented by Herbert E. Law, an ex- commodore of the Pacific Yacht Club, and the trophies in all the other classes ex- cept the seventy-foot class will be pro- vided from the trophy fund created by ex-Commodore J. M. Macdonough. The twenty-footers will sail over the special course, the twenty-five footers and yawls take the “short’ course, the thirty-foot- ors, thirty-six-footers and forty-four-foot- era over the “middle’ course, while the class which Includes the big schooners Lurline, Aggle, Chispa. Ramona, White Wings and Virginia, and the yawl Tra- montena, safl over the “long” course. The starting line will be between two stakeboats anchored off Powell street wharf, and the leeward and windward marks will be scows set out by the re- gatta , committee. The committee has adopted this year the plan of placing tickets to its steamer on sale, the price betng 50 cents. Photographers will be taken out to thé windward stakeboat, and must be at the wharf at the time named on the tickets. The ‘“special’” course ls estimated at five miles, the “short” course at ten miles, the “middle’” course at four- teen miles and the “long” course at twen- ty-eight miles. All the yachts must carry their officfal racing numbers on each side of the mainsails, above the reef points, at an equal distance from the luff and the leach. For some time past it has been the custom for the yacht clubs to put one out- side eruise on their annual programme, but usually no boats have taken it. This year, however, the San Francisco and Californfa clubs have comblned to make a cruse to Drakes Bay. The vachts ren- dezvoused at Sausalito on% Friday even- ing and started out about 8 o'clock yes- terday morning on the ebb tide, expect- ing to make Drakes Bay in the after- noon. To-day one or two yachts which SSES wera unable to start yesterday will drop out on the ebb tide. To-day will be spent at Drakes Bay In fishing and land sports, and to-morrow the trip home will be made. The master of the gasoline schooner Ida A, which piies between Bo- flnas and San Francisco, has undertaken to look. out for the yachts to-morrow, and If he does not see them making their way down to the city, will run up to Drakes Bay and give them a tow in. Thus those of the yachtsmen who must be at their desks on Tuesday morning will be sure of reaching Ban Francisco without fail. Captain R. L. Eames of the Callfornia Yacht Club, who has made the trip several times, says that the owners will become enthusiastic about the cruise when they have made it once. The Corjnthians have no event on their schedule for the holidays. as many of the owners will be getting their craft ready for the annual interclub regatta, nearly all the entries in which are from the Ti- buron Club. SOUTHERN TENNIS PLAYERS AND ATTENDANT LESSONS The coast championship tournaments of the last two weeks have been the most successful in every way ever held here. This success is greatly due to the pres- ence of the experts from Southern Cali- fornia, both women and men. The former proved that they were comparatively far superior to the latter, as they carried all before them with little or no difficulty, while the men had to content themselves with but few honors. It is a remarkable thing that the southern women should be 0 far superior to the local women and the gentlemen of the south so outclassed by the northern men. It was thought previous to the doubles tournament that Bell and Braley, the southern champlons in doubles, would win the tournament with ease. The defeat of the latter in their first match at the hands of McGavin and Smith, the ulti- mate winners, came as a great surprise. The fact that the winners had never played together in doubles previous to the tournament speaks well for their individ- ual skill. The smashing of young Mc- Gavin on the first day_of the doubles was casily as good as had'ever been seen on the coast. Bell Is a tower of strength at the net, where his overhead work is accurate and exceedingly strong, but his back court strckes are rather weak and erratic. Of the four southern men, Sinsabaugh has by far the most peculiar style. His volleying is very quick and hard and his drive is awkward but effective. Hendricks Is probably the most promis- ing player of the four and will undoubt- edly be heard from in the future, Bra- ley's game is very similar to that of Bell, but is hardly as good. He is bril- liant but erratie. The yisiting women players showed thelr local sisters many new points of the game. The Suttons will return next year and defend their titles. The visit of the south- ern experts has done more for tennis than anything that has happened in years. el e SWIMMING AT SUTRO’S.

Golfers are becoming more active on the local links, and the committees on tournaments will shortly issue schedules of contests to take place during the fall. There will be tournaments on the links at Oakland, San Rafael and San Fran- cisco to-morrow, and a large attendarce of members is expected at all the three courses. The Council's cup for men of the San Rafael Golf' Club having been won outright by E. J. McCutchen, a new trophy has been offered under similar conditions. The qualifying round over eighteen holes, medal play, of the first competition for the new cup will be played to-morrow on the Happy Valley links. ———— HANDBALL ENTRI S. _ Entries for the San Francisco handball games to-day are: M.

There will be no cricket during the Ad- mission holidays at Alameda, this va- cation having been left open by the schedule committee for country matches. On Friday afternoon a team of city crick- “ eters left S8an Francisco for Lake County. Yesterday the visitors played against the Lakeport Cricket Club at Lakeport. To- day they will play against the Burns Val- ley Cricket Club at Lower Lake. It was at one time expected that the match against the Burns Valley cricket- ers would have lasted two days, but so many of the players will take part in the Admission day celebration at Lower Lake that it was found impossible to play on the 9th. The team from San Francisco includes H. C. Casidy, Henry Ward Sr., F. J. Croll, E. G. Sloman, E. T. Longdale, A. B. Willis, Harold B. Richardson, A. W. Wilding, H. Brown and two others. Cas- idy will not return with the team, but will stay in Lake County for his annual vacation. It is not unlikely that the third and deciding game between Young America and Old England will be played during the present month, either on the 15th or 224. Each team has won one match this season. ——————— Oil for Ocean Liners. Coal to carry an ocean liner across in five and a half days cost $0800.

BLUE AND GOLD BEGINS SEASON WITH FULL HOPES Eight of Last Year’s Varsity Candidates Will Return to the Gridiron and Try for Same Places. BERKELEY, Sept. 7.—If student inter- est may be counted for anything the Uni- versity of California football work has begun under auspicious conditions. Even the preliminary practice to date, ordinar- ly uninterestirg from the spectators’ viewpoint, has kept the bleachers covered with students of both sexes, and the opening bonfire rally Tuesday night, when the entire university turned out, shows the sentiment of the student body toward the players and the game. The week has been spent in getting the men m condition -for the heavy work to come. The men have been divided into groups, acording to the positions they have played or wish to play, for a gen- eral tryout. After viewing their work the ccaches wili select the best men to make up the first 2nd second elevens, and will also choose a freskmen team from the new offering. From time to time positions will be changed and other men substituted In the elevens, so that of the matertal available the very best will rep- resent California against Stanford. Every opportunity possible will be given each man to prove his worth. The coaches and captain are determined on this point, and every known test of strength and skill will be exercised, so that no mistake will be possible. The selection of L. A. Womble as cap- tain of the team has met with the unani- mous approval of all California devotees. Captain Womble has taken the place made vacant by Warren Smith—the great “Locomotive ’—whose name was dropped from the university\rolls on account of his being in arrears in studles. Womble has played three years for California and has been on two winning teams. This vear will be his last. For speed, grit, skill and generalship Captain “Wree” s one of the foremost end players in Amer- ica. His knowledge of the gamg makes him an exceedingly useful man on the gridiron in bringing the new material into shape. Altogether eight of the old varsity men will be on the gridiron as candidates for the places they held a year ago. They are Captain Womble, Orvall Overall, John More, Harry Hudson, Ernest Duden, P. T. Clay, Sam Stowe and 'W. B. Albertson, These are strorg men and should im- prove play tlis year. California’s pres- pects have brightened considerably with such men back in the harness. The new men who are struggling for varsity hon- ors are showing up well, but it is too early to pick with certainty the individual stars. There is complete harmony among Coaches Simpson and Hopper, Captain ‘Womble, the players and the students. A dearth of kickers Is counted a great thing in athletics. The handball association is arranging for a cortinuous tournament of singles, to begin next Tuesday on the Berkeley court. The fournament will be open to all college men. ———— Spelling of Philippine Names. The Board on Geographic Names made last winter a special report on Filipino nomenclature, concerning which the chart makers were in some confusion. The gen- eral prineiple of the board seems to have been to preserve as far as possible the pure Spanish orthography, avoiding the modifications wrought in the original names by English and American misspell- ing. The list now published contains about 4000 names of towns, rivers, bays, capes, mountains and other geographical features of the new Philippine Poneg. slons. We observe that un thers are only two names. Washington, a cape, and Weyler, a pueblo or town—a some- what curious association.—New York Sua.
