The canoes were R. B. Bain Jr.'s Vitesse, ¥. J. Rodgers’ Pirate, Charles L. Taylor Jr.'s Nereid and J. Smith’s Brow- nie. When the Encinal and Oakland ca- noes were lining up for the start in the afternoon race the sheet of Vitesse car- y. The start was postponed un- til the damage was repaired. Dalton Har- rison and Julius Landsberger's canoes led on the way to the finishing line, with Vi- se a close third. Then Vitesse collided with Harrison’s canoe and hegan to fill, settling down bow first. About 200 yards from the finish she became waterlogged. Dalton Harrison ruled .is own canoe out of the race on account of the collision with Vitesse and the cup was awarded to Julius Landsberger. The race was fol- lowed by a dimner and a dance in the clubhouse. On Sunday the sloops safled back to Sessions Basin, the flagship Beat- rice experiencing some dlfficulty in getting away from the lee shore of Alameda.

The Portland four led from the start and was never pressed. The time was given as 9:09%. On Wed- nesday the Berkeley crew was defeated by ec lengths by a four representing the University of Washington, the race | taking plac 7 Lake Washington, near Seattle, and being over a mile and a half course. When the two crews were about | to start one of the men in the Washing- ton boat broke an oarlock and it was thought that the race woula have to be postponed. The Californians were asked to row an exhibition race for the benefit of the spectators. the Washington boat having been re- paired, the Californians rowed against the northerners, and had their steering not been erratic had some chance of coming home win- ners. The time was ziven as 9:33. The Californians rowed in a boat belonging to the James Bay Club of Victoria, B. C. The Washingtonians used a Canadian boat of the same type. Both crews were thus on an equality with regard to the boats. —_— e————— Wanted in Portland for Robbery. Bert Stacey was brought from Pieas- anton, Alameda County, by Detective Bailey yesterday and booked at the City Prison. Some days ago Chief Witiman received word from Charles H. Hunt, Chief of Police of Portland, that Stacey was wanted there for robbery, and that his companion, James McQuade, had been arrested. Chief Hunt had traced Stacey to Seattle, and Captaim Martin succeeded in locating him at Pleasanton. Chief Hunt was notified of the arrest, and replied that an officer would be sent at once with the necessary papers for Stacey's extradiilon. ————— Fires Rock Through Window. John Chinboovich, a waiter, was con- victed by Police Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge of malicious mischief and was sentenced to serve six months in the County Jail. He had been employed in the restaurant of P. Damjanovich, 218 Mason street, and because he was dis- charged on May 31 threw a rock through the plate glass window.

Professor Joseph Daily, who for many years has been courtkeeper at the Califor- nia Tennis Club, has given up his position and gone to Stockton. Daily was extreme- ly popular with the club members. ‘As a teacher Daily had no equal, his knowlédge of the game and patience being remark- able. The professor had served the club for eighteen years, and the members, one| and ali, regretted much to see him leave. The next tournament to be played on the park courts will be a handicap doubles for the challenge cups. The hold- ers are Will Allen and Grant Smith. This event will probably be held on .the 2iIst inst. nd t e Game Law Violator Is Punished. Deputy Fish Commissioner A. F. Lea captured L. Parish with deer hides in his pessession in Mendocino County Thurs- day. Justice of the Peace Kenworthy of Willitts ordered the hides confiscated yes- | terday and fined the offender $25. Chief Deputy Vogelsang states that a number of people are gathering deer hides in va- | rious sectlons of the State regardless of | the game laws and that several of such traders are known and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as soon as his subordinates can lay hands on them. ————————— Boys on “Walking Tour.” The members of the Columbia Park Boys' Club will leave the city this morn- ing on their sixth annual “walking tour.” The boys will leave on the 8 o’clock boat from the Sausalito ferry and the “walk’" will. begin from Sausalito to Eureka and return, the boys giving a vaudeville en- tertainment during the “‘walking tour.” Major Sidney ‘S.
