CRONIN'S HOUND VANDA WALSH'S consistent grey- hound Sacramento Boy won the rich ladies’ day stake yes- Q terday at Union “Coursing Park by default. This un- satisfactory ending to the big event was brought about by long courses in the pre- ceding rounds of the stake, which retired Palo Alto, Beacon and Vandal. Beacon was the first to encounter hard coursing luck, as he ran an undecided course with Rural Artist in the morning. In the next round he met Palo Alto and one of the sensational courses of the year resulted. Beacon dashed out for the first turn the great dogs approached the >. After that first one scored and then other until Palo Alto killed. Each »d seven points and they were sent back to the slips. the had Rost, a sportsman above suspicion. Judge Reilly said they acted as if suffering from cramps. They showed some of the symp- toms of belladonna poisoning. The stew- ards at once instituted a rigid investiga- tion to fix the blame for their condition. There was nothing in the betting to indi- cate that a job was intended. The attendance was large and the cours- ing throughout the day of the highest class. The resuits in defail, with Judge P. J. Rellly's official scores, follow: _Ladies’ day champion stake—T. J.

Geary's Fannie Hughie, 12 J. Seggersom's Gold Hill beat P. C. Blick's At the second attempt Palo Alto came | back strong and took the first turn. This time the tiny hare proved a terror and ok the two fast dogs all over the field. They ran the limit of two minutes, Palo Alton ning by a score of 19 to 16. This retired Beacon to his kennel and made necessary the withdrawal of Palo Alto. Beacon was favorite in each course. Palo Alto was to meet Vandal in the succeed- ing round, so a “bye”’ dog was substi- tuted for the crack of the Geary kennel. Misfortune still followed the big dogs, as in this course Vandal was run for two minutes. He had qualified to meet Sacra- mento Boy, but this put him out of the running. cramento Boy was thus left without an opponent and won by default. The consolation stake was won by Rec- tor. He defeated Rural Artist in the de- ciding course. P. Doyle’s Liberator won the special stake cleverly from Santonin. The win- ner was on the short end throughout the day, but ran gamely and consistently. Among others he beat Sir Pasha, 1 to 3% favorite. The puppy stake went to T. Sullivan’s Maid of the Glen, which defeated Consort in the deciding course. Acting Judge P. J. Reilly made a hit with the spectators, being loudly ap- plauded for declaring all bets off on two In the course between Fontenoy and Rural Artist, the former could not raise a gallop, from some cause as yet unexplained. In the next course Game Boy was in the same condition. Both dogs are from the kennel of J.

The pigeons liberated at the regular monthly shoot of the California Wing Shooting Club held yesterday at the In- gleside live bird traps were an exception- ally strong lot. Notwithstanding this a number of clean scores were made. Clarence Nauman and C. A. Haight, who returned recently from the Oregon State tournament, were present at the traps. Both shot in fine form. Haight killed straight in the club shoot and only allowed one bird escape him in the twelve-bird pool. Nauman did not shoot in the club event, but in the twelve-bizd and the two six-bird pools he grassed twenty-four without a miss. Nauman and Haight were not permitted to compete for money in the Oregon tovrnament, but were allowed to shoot for the birds. They found some excellent shots among the webfoot sportsmen. Otto Feudner shot from the 33-yard line. Owing to the severity of his handicap he did not shoot up to his usual high standard. The scores made in the club shoot follow: | “slade” ... | M.

Most of the crack tennis players took a rest yesterday after their hard matches of tournament week. Play on the Cali- fornia Club courts was very light. Golden Gate Park courts were ecrowd- ed, as usual, and some exciting matches were played. Charles Dunlap and Harry Routh, two of the crack players, fur- nished by far the best match of the day. Dunlap showed great improvement, and made a much better showing against his opponent than at their last meeting. Five sets were played, four of which went to Routh and one to Dunlap. The score: 8—6, 6—2, 6—2, 4—6, 6—2. After this hard match Routh took on C. Griffin, who sur- prised the spectators by breaking even with the first-class man.. The score was: 6—4, 5—7. Griffin turned the tables’ on G. Touchard, who beat him in the last tournament. The score was 6—4. L. Rob- erts beat H. C. Clear, 6—3, 6—3, 4—6. L. C. Bozart tied G. Touchard, 6—4, 2 Bo- zart beat J.

REDLANDS, July 6.—Dr. Charles Ken- dall Adams, until recently president of the University of Wisconsin, is so se- riously ill that his death/is thought to be a question of only a few days. He 1s suffering from kidney disease and has been treated by some af the most famous specialists in the country, but all of them have told him that his case is hopeless. He resigned from the presidency of the university and moved from Madison, Wis., to this city, hoping that the change in climate would benefit him. He secured temporary relief, but within the past two days his condition has become So muca worse that it is feared the end is not far off. - To-night he became decidedly worse and his wife telegraphed his former as- sociates in the university that all hoge had been abandoned. He was one of the most prominent educators in the Middle West. SEERUTS cR N Fire Concludes the Celebration. SAN MIGUEL, July 6.—After the com- plete and satisfactory two days' celebra- tion of the Fourth a skyrocket alighted last night on a big storage barn and de- stroyed it, with sixty-five tons of hay, owned by Jason Densmore. The barn was situated back of the business portion, and for a while the town sgemed doomed. The Arlington and Black's drug store caught fire, but were quickly extinguished. The barn was owned by the California Guar- antee Investment Company of San Fran- cisco and was fully insured. Mercer Disappoints Morley.

Large Fleet of Pleasure Craft Lies Safely at Its Anchorage. A s The crulse of the San Francisco and Corinthian Yacht clubs to Napa during the holidays was a complete success. The vachtsmen enjoyed beautiful weather and met with no serious mishap, the lltt}e ait- ficulties and mischances only serving to enhance their pleasure and preserve them from monotonv. The yachtsmen from Sausalito and Tib- uron made Vallejo on the night of Thurs- day. They made’an early start in the morning of the Fourth for Napa, which they reached about noon. Some forty yachts and several launchies lay at anchor in Napa Creek on Independence day. The San Francisco Yacht Club was rep- resented by the flagship Thetis, the sloops Alice, Surprise, Queen, Halcyon, Cygnus, Juanita and Amigo, the yawis Hoyal and Phyllis and the launches Alberta and Rob Roy. The Corinthian fleet lay at anchor near the bridge, and included the flagship Edna, the sloops Speedwell, Phoenicia, Truant, Josie, Cupid, Aeolus, Belle, Mist and Genesta and the yawl Nerid. The representatives of the California fleet were the sloops Aloha, Kitty, Espy and Dixie. From the Vallejo Yachting Club came Commodore A. E. Chapman’s flag- ship Helen and the sloop Sneak. Other craft lying at anchor in Napa Creek were Little Pete, L'Amico, Hazel, AJX, Riata, Ollie, the schooner Emerald, th yawl Dolpher, the launches C. A. McNell Alberta and Petrel and the sloops Alic and Fawn. At noon on Saturday the yachtsmen be- gan to prepare to go down the creek, the first to depart being the launch C. A. Me- Neill, towing the yachts Aeolus, Truant, Cupid, Mist and Belle. These were fol- lowed by the launch Alberta, having in tow the yacht L/Amico, and the launch Petrel towing the sloops Edna and Cyg: nus. The launch Rob Roy then got un- der way, towing the sloops Queen and Thetis, the yawl Royal, the sloops Sur- prise, Amigo, Juanita and Alice. The last string was somewhat interfered with by the river steamer City of Dawson, and after proceeding some distance down the creek the yachts Queen and Thetis be- came entangled with the power yacht Pride, which had gone aground on a bar. The tow line had to be cagt off,. the launch Rob Roy proceeding ‘with the vachts Queen and Thetis and abandon- ing the rest. After a while the launch dropped these two algo and sail was hoisted on the yachts. " As the breeze came up, many of the yachts made sail. The auxiliary yacht Pride towed out the sloop Aloha and the vawl Nerid and later added the sloop Thetis to her string. Some of the yachts ram into the bank or got hung up in shoal places, but all reached Vallejo in safety. Yesterday morning some of the yachts. men, wishing to take advantage of tha rest ‘of the ebb tide, got anchors up at about 6 in the morning, the rest fol- lowing at various later times. The first to leave were the schooner Chispa. the yawl Seven Bells and the sloops Thetis and Phoenicia. The sloops Clara and Challenger made Vallejo on Saturday night and returned yesterday. The trip through San Pablo Bay was ideal, the air being warm, the water smooth and the breeze a fair working one. The yachtsmen reached their moorings at various times from 4 in the afternoon to a much later hour. The yachtsmen agreed the trip had been the most pleasant of the season.
