BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 10.—Despite the fact that the weat ser conditions are not favorable for ‘exhibitions df high-class work from the 1¢'d dogs, the twenty-first annual trials ot the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club, which com- mences to-morrow morning on grounds eleven miles distant from Bakersfield, promise to bring to the front many high-class performers. Already, sportsmen have gathered from all sections of the coast, and each incoming train lands its quota of fleld trial enthusiasts. Among those ‘in evi- dence this evening were W. W. Van Arsdal, Albert Betz, J. W. Kilgarif, Dr. Craig, J. W. Flynn, H. T. Payne, P. D. Linville, William Dormer, W. W. Richards and wife, Clinton E. Worden and W. 8. Tevis of San Francisco; H. ‘W. Keller of Santa Monica, J. H. Schu- macher of Los Angeles, H. L. Beten of Alameda, J. E. Terry of Sacramento, Charles Coggins of Igerna, Charles Babcock and T. Wilson of Gilroy, J. Lu- cas of San Clemente, R. M. Dodge of Bakersfield; H. E. Berts of Victoria, B. C.; Judge C. N. Post of Sacramento, J. McDaniels of Paso Robles, one of the old guard; Howard B. Smith of Col and others. A'party cownosed of Judge W. S. Bell, Judge C. N. Post and Secretary Albert Betz journey to the fleid trial grounds to-day and inspected the tracks over which the dogs will run. Birds were plentiful and there is suf- ficient cover of stich character as to ad- mit of the dogs being plainly seen on all parts of the grounds. The lack of moisture, however, is a decided detri- ment to high-class point work. It is conceded the dogs drawn to run in the early morning and evening heats will be greatly favored by prevailing condi- tions. Nevertheless a successful meet is predicted and enthusiasm runs high. The following dogs are drawn in to- morrow’s Derby: Charles Coggin's Sharon Boy wiht H. W. Keller's Som- bra; J. E. Terry's Countess Lou with B. J. Baum's Starlight Jr.; W. S. Tevis’ Cuba’s Cottonwood *with Charles Cog- gin's Miss Nelson; J. W. Considine’s Hick's Bab_with W. S. Tevis' Cuba’s Glenwood; Thomas J. Watson's Star's Rod with W. 8. Tevis' Sandlewood; W. B.

W. .Van Ars- dale's Klamath; Dr. Leonard’'s Wallace Bruce with Alex Hamilton's Lady's Lad. The Derby stake is the largest ever held in the Pacific Coast trials, there being twenty dogs drawn to start. Heretofore the record number was eighteen starters. ————— ACCUSED OF STEALING TWO ILOADS OF LUMBER Westley Lewis, Yard Clerk for Timber Firm. Charged with Robbing His Emvployers. Westley Lewls was taken into cus- tody last night by Detectives Graham and Fitzgerald and lodged in the City Prison, where his name appears on the detinue book. Lewis, up to the time of his arrest, was in the employ of Seymour & Elliot, lumber merchants, of 107 Market street, as yard clerk. It is alleged that Lewis, who had ex- clusive chayge of all deliveries, order- ed two loads of lumber to be delivered at the residence of his mother at 3827 Eighteenth street. No entry was anade on the bcoks of the firm and the tim- ber was delivered without any suspi- cion being entertained on the part of thetdrlver that the sale was not legiti- ate, The two loads were duly delivered at the address given and Lewis took the precaution of placing a red lantern at night on the piles to avold danger of coliision with passing vehicles.. The patrclman on the beat was speculating as to the probable owner of the lum- ber and being under the impression that everything was not right, reported the matter to his superiors. A watch was set on the house, but no attempt was made on the part of Lewis to di pose of the building material. Members of the firm of Sevmour & Elliot were informed by one of their clerks that two loads of lumber valued at $80 had left the yard at 142 Towns- end-street on the order of Lewis with- out any registration being made in the proper books. The matter was re- ported to Captain Martin and it w: soon ascertained that the piles of lum. ber on Eighteenth street were the same that had been taken from Seymour & Hiliot's. < %Lewh, who had been in the empldy of the firm for about two months, on being arrested admitted his guilt. He is married and resides with his family at 129 Fair Oaks street. Scores Thirty-Three Three-Inch ‘ Bullseyes in One Hundred Shots at Shell Mound Park RN { GUARDSMEN ARE ALARMED AR | Cannot Use the High-Power| Krag-Jorgensen on Ranges Because of Extreme Danger! SR The riflemen had a bad day for shoot- ing yesterday at Shell Mound Park. During most of the time the dim light prevented the marksmen from accu-| rately gauging the center, and made it hard to get a good shot when it wds most needed. The organizations which sent men to the range were the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein. Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club, Germania Schuetzen Club, Norddeutscher Shoot- ing Company and the Independent Rurtles. | F. P. Schuster did great work in the competition shoot of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein. Notwithstanding the poor light on the targets he succeeded in rolling up the good score of 446 rings in his twenty-shot string. R. Stettin was high man in the first class with 418, while George H. Bahis led his class with 408 to his credit. In the Germania Club Frank E. Ma- son was far ahea all his classmates with a score of rings+n his ten-shot record. He also won a wager by mak- ing thirty-three three-inch bullseyes in 100 shots, which is considered fine marksmanship. Considerable anxiety is manifest among the members of the National Guard of California in reference to fu- ture target practice. 'As all the guards- men are armed with the Kras-Jorgen- sen rifle it will be impossible for them to practice on the ranges on account of the danger attending the use of the new arm, because of its high power. Expert riflemen differ in sheir opinion | as to the use of the new gun on the ranges. Some contend that with a re- duced charge of powder and the use| of a hard leaden bullet there would| be no danger in the use of the Krag- Jorgensen, while others'hold that if a «careless rifleman would load with the regulation cartridge there would be ex treme danger both to the target mar ers and others that might be in the line of fire. It is generally conceded that hereafter the guardsmen will be com- pelled to practice on the Government ranges if they wish to become proficient in the use of the service arm. Jacob Myer, the champion rifle shot of Sacramento, and one of the best marksmen in the State, was at the park and entered enthusiastically into the - competition of the Germania Schuetzen Club. He reports that rifle matters in the Capital City have been| stimulated greatly by the successful shoot given by the Helvetia-Sacramen- to Rifle Club, and at the next festival event there will be a large attendance from Sacramento. | Following are the scores of the con- testants: » Shuetzen Verein. monthly Champion highest score.

The Albion Rovers had the best of the play, frequently attacking the Vampire goal and securing two goals. The ground was exceedingly slippery and falls were frequent. A. W. Wilding and E. T. Langdale were not on the team, the vacant places being filled by Theberge and McCallum.. Theberge is well known as a lacrosse player and McCallum was captain of the Vampires last season. For the Albion Rivers John did good work on the back line and Bradl Duquesne and Tweedie in the | forward line, C. W. Irish was referee, with H. O. Watson of the Hornets and R.
