The tanbark ring was laid in fromt;of the clubhouse, the spacious verandas of | JRLINGAME Country Club | | { | 2 which furnished a colgn of vantage from which the inter: viewed.. The r overgrown *g." ing competition could be | g was in the form of an The two circles ing contrast with the dull red of the tan- | bark. A tastefully decorated stand on the opposite side of the ring from the club- house provided an excellent viewpoint | for the people of the countryside. During the afternoon there was a’ large attend- | ance of spectators, who came in all man- | ner of conveyances, from an Irish jaunt- ing car to a puffing automobile. Competition was keen in many of the | classes. The most exciting was’that for | the best high-stepper in the show. Two old rivale, Walter Hobart’s horse Para- | gon, driven by his owner, and George A Pope’s Sweetheart, which have been com. peting against the other since 1833, were agaln brought together. E. D. Beyland ' and W. Mayo Newhall looked the class | oyer long and critically. They were un- | able to agree as to the disposition of the | biue ribbon and finally called F. 8. Moody | to their assistance. Walter Hobart car- | tied off the blue ribbon triumphantly and also a silver cup, which went with it. | A. P. Welch’s Nip was placed second; Walter 8. Martin's Baron third. Sweet- heart was unplaced. This was pronounc- ed a wonderful class, the opinion being freely expressed that it could not be beat- en outside the New York show. President George Almer Newhall carricd off the_blue ribbon in the four-in-hand class. With him on his coach were Mrs. George Lent, Miss Carrije Taylor, Mrs. Osgood Hooker and Mrs. Austin Tubbs. h lady recelved a blue ribbon. required no stralning of gallantry on the part of the judges to make so obviously deserving an award. An interesting feature of the competi- tion during the day was the appearance a number of ladies as amateur ‘whips.” Miss Maud Bourn, Miss Taylor, Miss Florence Whittell, Mrs. H. T. Scoit and Miss Graham were among those who showed their ability in the ring. The jumping competition was the last on the day's programme. It was the best | ever scen” at a show here, although the entry was small. The principal event nar- rowed down to a match between Walter Hcebart and John Lawson. The former rode his once great horse Royalty, which ows signs of his advancing years. John 2wszon rode Vanity, a slashing big thor- ghbred, which raced over the jumps in the colors of Edward Corrigan some years since. After bLeing sent over the emall jumps the judges were unable to decide between the two horses, and Mr. Lawson suggested a high jump. The bar was put at about five feet. On the third attempt Loyalty cleared it. Vanity was not so fortunate, knocking the bar down It | with his knees. The blue ribbon went to Mr. Hobart amid much applause. Joseph Dyer won with Gadfly in the pony class, taking his fences like the fin- ished horseman which he is. Among the well-known people in attend- ance were: | Mr. and Mrs. F. §. Moody, Mrs. F. A.

TAKE LAURELS OF AMERICANS Polo Team in England to Have a- Very D fficult Game, Say Many kxperts LONDON, May 30.—The hopes of the Americans, which were raised to such a high pitch during the first few prelimin- ary games played by Captain Foxhall Keene's polo team, are likely to be dashed to-morrow, as in the opinicn of nearly all the polo experts, both Ameri- can and English, who have watched the practice, the English team 1§ sure to win two out of three matches and retain the American challenge cup. It is doubtful, even, if playing at the top of their form, the Americans will.be able-to defeat the strong combination which the English players have brougiit together; but, in addition to this fact, there is not a mém- ber of the American teams who is play- ing in his best form, and the Amer.can pontes, as well as the men, seem to feel the effects of this climate. When the Americans began 'playing | here they showed a dash and vim which thoroughly alarmed the Englishmen and the fear was freely expressed in the polo pavilions at Hurlingham and Ranelagh that the Americans would win. The be! ting at_that time also favored the Ameri- cens, but this is all changed and the Englishmen are very confident. The bet- ting_to-night ranges from 2'to 1 to 5 to 1 on_the English team. - One great disadvantage which both the American and the English selection col mittee has to contend with is the vile weather, which left the Americans sh of practice and prevented . the Engli players from being selected at am early date. The American team, which wiil play to-morrow, is composed of R. L. Agassiz, J. E. Cowdin, Foxhall Keene and L. Waterbury. The personnél of the Fng- lish team is as follows: Cecil Nickalls, P. W. Nickalls. Walter -H. Buckmaster and Charles D. Miller. W. C. Eustis will be umpire for the Americans and 3 Freakes for the Englishmen. Captain St. Gegerge Daly will referee. W‘:en asked 1o-night for his estimate of the individual players, Georfi St. Quen- urliggham, tin, the polo manager of and whose opinion carries. weight ever polo is played, said: / Foxhall Keene Is splendidly mounted, He is & fine rider and a clean hitter and thoroughly cerries out the duties of captain in his side well together.

R. Garcia of the Olympic Club made the fastest time in the ahnual two-milc race of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athlétic Union, which was held in Golden Gate Park yesterday morn- ing. He negotiated the dlstance in 10 min- | utes 2 85 seconds—unusually good time when the various handicaps are ‘consid- ered.. Unfortunately the park officials uKrend ofl along the route in, order to lay the dust and erected tall fences ‘across | the roads at two places. compelling the Tunners to swerve around them twice and to hurdle them as many times. These oObstructions prevented = records being broken, y The race was scheduled to be run at 10 o’clock sharp, but, much to the disgust of Willlam Greer, Harrison, who believes in being punctual, the men did not get oft until seventeen minutes later., There Wwas a large crowd present to see the ath- letes run, and hundreds of e lined the course. y Stone and Lundy finished strong. Stone might have made better time had he pos- sessed more confidence. He feared to let himseélf out untll a few hundred yards from home, and then he came along at a fast clip. 'Lundy did the same.

Collier Twenty-four tennis players contested for the championship of San Francisco on the California Club courts yesterday. At the end of the day's play but four re- maired in the tournament. The men who reached. the semi-finals and are. assured of prizes are Sherwood Adams, W. B. Col- lier, Percy Murdock of Alameda and Grant Smith. The surprise of the day was the defeat of Robert Whitney at the hands of Col- lier. The last named drew his partner, Harold Crowell, and the longest and most stubbornly contésted match of the day resulted. With the score standing set ail and 4-0 in favor of Crowell, his opponent by a supreme eftort pulled out the odd | set. Collier was very tired when he played Whitney, and the last named stayted out to finish him, but the base lh‘l? expert played a steady game and pulled out the match. Whitney was in gaar form throughout the day. In his first match Al Kenyon, a third-class man, almost beat him. Kenyon played a re- markably lfiood game and with a little cessful, the only one to win a match. Sherwood Adams played a strong game and caused quite a surprise by beating “Merle Johnson in straight sets. Percy Murdock and Grant Smith- had very easy drawings and reached the semi- finals without much difficulty. In his match with Will Allen, Smith was rather ess in the first set, but won the next iwo handily.

GRAND STAND AT HAWTHORNE IS DESTROYED Fire Starts in the Cupola of the Main Building at the End of the Diy’s Racing Jockeys Seriously Injured in a Fall at the Gravesend Track in Bzdford Stakes CHICAGO, May 30.—The grand stand at Hawthorne race track was destroyed by fire this evening, half an hour attgr the last race of the day had been rup. Nearly every one but the employes had left the track. The fire started in the cupola of the main building and gradually worked downward, giving ample time for saving the horses in the paddock, as well as af- fording an opportunity for the eseape of a few stragglers who occupied the stand. One man was killed during the fire and several men were badly injured, althoug none of them will die. The man who was killed was a hanger-on at the track and was known as “Chicken Pete™ with some others, was watching the fire from the roof of the engine ; juse, which, unknown to them, was on f The roof suddenly caved in and Rusu was burned to death. The other men saved them- selves by jumping. Before the fire was vnder control the paddock and bet ring were in ruins. The loss will excee. $100,000. Seven days of the present mc ing remain.
