The latter was withdrawn, giv- ing Bonnie Pasha a bye. Her next op- ponent, Tiburon, was also withdrawn. She next met and defeated Tralee Boy, which placed her in the all-important de. ciding course. Here she was again in luck, as Haphazard was withdrawn and she won first prize by default. Two instances are of record in England where greyhounds won stakes without be- ing 1equired to meet any greyhound in competition. In. November, 1886, at New: market, Phantom won the Allington stakes under these conditions. In the first and second rounds dogs were drawn and in the third Phantom enjoyed a “patural bye” going into the final. He then divided the stake with a kennel mate The second instance was at Rainham, in October, 1886, when Randwick won the Oaks without having to meet a single op- ponent. In the first round the dog was absert. Jn the second round the one drawn asgainst him was lame.

The annual regatta of San Francisco Yacht Club is drawing near. It will take place over the channel course on Sunday, September 7, under the direction of the re- gatta committee, the members of which are Dr. T. L. Hill, W. G. Morrow and J. R. Savory. The arrangements for the seventh an- nual regatta of the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association are already nearly complete. It seems certain the event will be highly successful. in the 30-foot class will be the most excit- ing one of the day. In this class are | cluded the Corinthian sloops Aeolus, Pres- to and Truant, all of which have won Macdonough trophies in previous years; the Vallejo yacnt Helen and the Francisco boat the Challenger. W. J. Wood, late master sailmaker at the Mare Island Navy Yard, has made a new suit of sails for Helen 2nd her speed is said to have been consideraBly increased. If the weather should turn out heavy the Vallejo men are hopeful of a victory for Helen. Besides those already name, the Corinthian sloop Mignon has been sailing remarkably well lately and is expected to display great speed. The entries for the regatta close on Wednesday, Septem- ber 3, at 6 p. m., at the Merchants’ Ex- change. Last Saturday evening the Corinthians ruised to Petaluma drawbridge with a light breeze ard a nearly full moon. Among the yachts that dropped anchor at the favorite Corinthian rendesvous were the flagship Edna, the sloops Speedwell, Emma, Freda, Genesta, Fleetwing, Mig- non, Clara and Harpoon and the’ yawl olic.

The qualifying round for the second annual competition for the women’s amateur championship- of the Pacific Coast Golf Association was held on Monday morning over the nine-hole course at Del Monte, but attracted only seven entries. None of the strong women golf- ers of Southern California put in an ap- pearance, and neither Miss Ruth Under- hill nor Mrs, Laurance I.Scott of Bur- lingame were among the competitors. In the final round on Thursday morning Mrs. R. Gilman Brown defeated Miss Edith Chesebrough and became the champion woman golfer of the Pacific Coast for 19(())2;1 Tuesday a match between F. J. Riley, instructor at Burlingame Country Club, and James Melville, the Del Monte ended in a tie, the scores be- ing: Riley 35, 36, total 71; Melville 36, 35, total 71 A two-ball foursome on Wednesday be- tween F. J. Riley, with Perry Eyre and James Melville with R. L. Coleman was Won by Melville and Coleman, 3 up 1 to lay. T%-day there will be a match over eigh- teams representing Northern and Southern California for a trophy presented by J. W. Byrne, presi- dent of the Pacific Coast Golf Association, The best ball handicap, open to men and women of San Rafael Golf Club, and pjayed from August 9 to 17, was won by F}. J. Hooper with the good score of 34 for nine holes. George Heazelton, J. J. Crooks, T. T. \‘:’il]llams and about a dozen others competed. t’;‘lg-gay orP the links of the San Rafael Golf Club there will be a scratch stroke competition, beginning at 9:30 a. m., for women who have not during the present vear made nine holes under 75 strokes. A similar competition begins at 1:30 this af- {ernoon for men who have not, during 1902, made nine holes in fewer than 6 strokes. Next Saturday, August 30, is an open date. ———————— Returns With Trophies of Chase. Bruce Cornwall returned some days since from a hunting trip to Trinity County.

The committee is com- posed, of August R. F. Brandes, chair- man; Geor?e M. Shaw and C. A. Loring. The - committee of the California Yacht Club appointed for the Alameda Water Carnival, to be held on September 15, 16 and 17, to celebrate the opening of the tidal canal, consists of Charles M.

It looks at present as though the leaders would again surprise the lo- cals as they did last week. Oakland is certainly a different team when the old recruits get into the game. They play better ball all around and play to win all the time. The Ponies have, of course, noticed this in their last few games. Los Angeles will probably give the Senators a sound thrashing before the series in the south closes, and Oakland seems to be able to win a majority of the games here, so there will be no startling change in the clupb’s standing at the end of the week. The Angels will be nearer th\; top and Oakland will gain a few more points. The Ponies will in all probability have a new pitcher on their staff before many days elapse. This new man is an ama- teur and has shown the public that he is capable. He belongs to a local amateur club and has been pitted against the best clubs of the State. So far none of them ‘were able to hit him. The new man is a_ young giant, over six feet in height and a natural athlete. He has speed, curves, control and, in fact, everything a good twirler usually possesses. He is also a hitter, being con- sidered one of the handiest amateurs in the State with the willow. Captain Shay will give the new man a trial, and he will be signed if he comes anyway near up to expectations. At pres- ent he is out of town, but i$ expected to reach the city to-day and may officiate in one of the games to-morrow. Spec Hurlburt, Cal Ewing’s new fielder, has all the earmarks of a great hitter. He also has a wonderful arm and can -throw to the plate like a regular cham- pion. If Spec will forsake the meetings of the Owl Club and settle down he should certainly be a star, even in this league. Judge McCreedle is liable to break into the game at any time now. . As soon as his strength comes back again he will be scen at the same old stand, and no doubt he will line 'em out just as he used to do. Poor “Chimmie der Whale” seems to have his unfortunate spell regularly every year. Two years ago while pitching for Stockton he was laid up with appendi- citis, last year he broke his ankle and now his hand is split open. Chimmie can tell them all stories of hard luck. Schmidt still continues to win_ games, and ‘on his own merits, too. Such twirl- ing as the smiling German is doing for the leaders has not been seen in Califor- nia for many a day, and the team that gets him next year will be fortunate. Delmas broke into the fight on Thurs- day and_proceeded to slap the ball for Now the fans wonder why he was ever forced to adorn the bench. Midget Mohler is at present rapping out more hits than anv other man in the league. ; It looks like -old times to see Julie Streib_in his old position at first. In Thursday's game' Streib got away with several pickups that no other first base- {Nl‘(? in the league would ever dream of & king.

On Thursday morning Al Wilson, while trolling in Raccoon Straits for striped bass, caught a 28-pound Quinnat salmon. The angler was using a No. 6 Wilson spoon. This catch is taken by sportsmen to mean that salmon are to be had in abundance in this bay if the fisher- men would troll deeper for them. The fish have to reach the Sacramento River from the ocean and the only inlet is through the bay. The other notable catch was of a seven- pound black bass of ‘the large mouth variety, near Sacramento. This indicates that the fish planted in the river, are thriving. The California State Fish Com- mission is planting these great food and game fish as rapldly as it can. At present their deputies are distributing them as far north as Eagle Lake, in Las- sen County, and Goose Lake, in Modoc County. They are also planting trout from Tahoe Hatchery in these countles. The regular contests of the San Fran- cisco Flycasting Club will be resumed this afternoon and to-morrow at Stow Lake. The marked success of the recent tournament has been the one theme of conversation among persons familiar with the pastime. At the close of the tourna- ment the Eastern vistiors were taken to the Truckee River. They spent a week in and about Boca. While the fishing was not at its best the Eastern men wers delighted with their trip. It will be a long time before the hospitable manner in which they were entertained fades from their memories. It is a foregone conclusion J. B. Ken- niff and others will represent this city in the tournament at Grand Rapids, Mich., next year. It is also intended to include flycasting in the international Ol games at Chicago in 1904 Wi tirement of Walter D. Mansfleld from active competition Mr. Kenniff will fill the place the former has occupied so long and so honorably in the long distance events. This is mid-season on the Truckee and few fish are being taiken. Later in the year it is expected the fishing will again be good. Dr. C. G. Levison caught a thirty-pound salmon on a number 5 Wilson spoon last Sunday on the San Lorenzo River. He was accompanied by Mr. McBride of San Jose and Mr. Bennett of Santa Cruz. They caught a number of salmon trout weighing a pound and a half. The best catch of these was a six pounder, taken on.a four and a half ounce rod. Will Ashland and Dave Sachs have spent some time at Verdi. Sam Heller, Ed iverett, W. D. Mansfleld and T. & Brotherton were among the anglers at Boca last week. e Y ) said to be the tallest man on the profes- sional diamond to-day. He is six feet four. It is safe to !axdy no one will throw mg&-lmlll_luvler hlg‘ hea kil anlon Is certainly a versatile buseball artist. He can play first in im- maculate style and is putting up a great game at second, though one on is entirey different from the other. Oakland has not made a home run in many weeks, and it is up to Bill Cristall to bat the ball over the boards if he wants to hold his job. 2 ,ANGLERS have made two notable Championship Meeting HE coast tennis championship tour- naments will be played at San Rafael the week after next and the best games ever seen on the coast should result. Besides the cracks from the bay counties ten of the best players from the south will compete. Of these ten at least seven are good first-class men, Who stand an excellent chance of winnin, the tournament. James Britton and itz Overton of Pasadena entered their names during the week. With such nmen as Freeman, Bell, Sinsabaugh, Hendricks, Way, Britton and Overton entered in both singles and doubles the local men of the first classhv;lll have a {lnrd row to hoe even on their own courts. It is doubtful if Champion George Whit- ney will be able to defend his title this year. Whitney is in poor shape. Unless there is a change for the better in the next ten days the champion will be out of the hunt. There would be much more interest shown in the tournaments in both doubles and singles with George Whitney out of them. The latter has swept everything before him for the last few years and every one is anxious to see the honors go to some other man. Should Whitney be unable to play there would be a great fight for the champion- ship. L{’;uls Freeman, champion of Southern California, is picked by many to win the tournament, but he will have to do _some playing to beat such men and R. N. Whit- ney, Collier and Smith. Bell and Britton of ‘the Scuth are also strong players. The former is out of practice, while the latter is imprcying rapldly and will be heard from before long. In doubles there will be several strong teams from the south. Freeman and Bell were to play together, but since Britton has decided to come up he and Freeman, the Southern California cham- pions, will probably play together. Prob- ably the strongest team from the north will be MacGavin and Smith. These two teams met at Santa Monica in the finals and after one of the closest struggles on record the honors finally went to the south. The local men think they can win on_their own courts. The success of the ladies’ events de- pends upoa the presence or absence of the Sutton s:sters. Ome of the local men received a letter during the week which stated that tke Suttons would probably not come north this year. Without these clever sisters the ladies tournament would be sadly lacking in interest. Every ef- fort will be made to have the Suttons here an the 1st and many belleve that they will be. Without the Suttons the m\ex_ed doubles event would also be a fall- The honors will again - ern ladies this year; but‘ghgol;gael ’&‘&i’.fs will do their best to win out.

Grand Aquatic lllumination COMMUNICATION has been sent by the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Ciub to the Alameda Boating Club asking the latter to arrange races between F. W. Ayres and George Baker in the senior outrigged skiff class, and between F. J. Sherry and E. B. Thorning in the junior outrigged skiff class. The Alameda club has named Septem- ber 14 as the date, and the Oakland Creek as the place of the contests, over a course of one and a half miles. The l4th is the Sunday before the water carnival in cel- ebration of the completion of the tidal canal. Arrangements for the carnival are pro- gressing, all the aquatic clubs in Alameda lending a willing hand. The Califorma Yacht Club will send its whole fleet. The yachts will be towed by launches up to the entrance of the tidal canal, where they will be moored and decorated from stem to stern with signal and prize flags. At night hundreds of Chinese and Japan- ese lanterns will be strung from mast- head to the ends of the bowsprit and main boom and along the sides of the craft. The dingeys and yawis will also be decorated and illuminated, and will . be towed by launches up and down, thus lending movement and life to the scene. The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club is in a healthy, active condition. On Tuesday night the club held its silver anniversary, the twenty-fifth since its foundation. The Native Sons’ Hall was handsomely decorated in biue and white, the Dolphin colors, and along the bal- cony were placed oars, Over the s were crossed oars and the club’s mono- gram. President Joseph S. s was tloor manager of the dance, being assist- ed by Frank Curry. During the evening ‘W. O. Patch, chairman of the anniversary committee, on behalf of the club, present- ed a silver loving cup to A. P. Rothkopf, the only charter member who is still ac- tive. The anniversary ball was in chargse of a committee consisting of W. !). Patch, chairman; W. L. Bush, T. R. - on, F. W. Woerner, F. W. Seibel, C. M. Farrell, A. W. Pape and Frank Curry. Next month the Dol s will give an entertainment at the clubhouse for mem~ bers only. Next week the regatta com- mittee will meet to arrange the handicaps for an outrig skiff race open to any member. A. . Pape will not be a com- petitor. On that day the junior skiff med- al, now held by F. J. Sherry, will be competed for. A committee consisting of W. O. Patch, C. M. Farrell and A. W. Pape was appointed to procure designs for a club emblem or button. Though the Ploneer Rowing Club no longer has access to the waters of the bay, it is maintaining its existence preserving its property. Recently it sol cne of its old barges, but will retain number of fine boats. As soon as great changes now going on in the bay around the side of the old Lo bri have been made the Ploneer will endea- vor to get a good site for a and tc become once more active particl- perts in local aquatic events, ——— . Gardner Accepts Root’s Defl. George Gardner, the champion middle- weight boxer of the world, yesterday through his manager, Alec Greggains, ac- cepted the challenge of Jack Root. He notified Harry P.
