No doubt exists but that Ormonde. winner of the | Derby in 1886, was a mighty race horse, and when W. O'B. Macdonough pur- ! chesed him for $125,000 the Californian achieved world wide notoriety in the turf world. In England the glory of Ormonde was perpetuated to an extent by the grand performances of his son, Orme, but since coming to this country his get have done nothing notable. Beau Ormonde is a good but not great horse, and so with the balance of his sons and daughters. Still, like the sound of bagpipes to the canny Scot, there appears to be romance -about the name Ormonde, | that causes the sporting biood in the veins to~tingle. And for this reason whenever an Englishman or English woman, for that matter, visits Cali- fornia and an inherent love for. the thoroughbred exists, a pilgrimage is usually made .to Ormondale, Menlo Park, to worship at his shrine. On the occasion of her recent visit here | Mrs. Langtry, the famous English act- ress, herself the possessor, of an ex- ve racing stable, made the, trip to Macdonough's breeding farm and the picture herewith reproduced shows the Jersey Lily holding the bridle of the most talked about horse in all | Christendom. Ormonde is now twenty- one vears old, but his splendid condi- tion. would indicate .that he is passing his -declining years in happiness and luxury. —_————— Help Steclheads Over Dam.

The Alameda, Pacific, San' Francisco County .and Santa Cruz Cricket clubs have held their annual meetings and have chosen their dele- gates. 1‘ The representatives of the Alameda | | Cricket Club are G. Harold Ward and: { W. H. McNaughton; of the Pacific' Cricket Club, John Myers and Dr. O. | . Taylor; of the San Francisco Coun- | { ty Club, Henry Roberts and H. Dixon, | and of the Santa Cruz Club, E. F. Hil- ton and H. H. Davies. | Herbert V. Keeling, one of the vice | presidents of the California Cricket | Association, writes that the interes{ in : cricket in Lake County has nearly died | out and that there is little hope that the Lakeport Cricket Club will be or- ganized this year. T. W. Beakbane, the leading spirit of the Burns Valley Cricket Club, would be able fo get to- gether a team in the Lower Lake dis- | trict. if there were any antagonists with. whom they could ‘play. As it is, | |it looks as though the Burns Valley ! club would not get any games this | season with local opponents. | At the annual meeting of the Santa | Cruz Cricket and Athletic Club H. H. | Davies was chosen captain and Steph- |en’ Stagg honorary secretary. The | | meeting was successtul and the pros- | pect for the coming season is good. ‘The Santa Cruz players desire to visit San Francisco on May 29 and 30 for the: purpose of playing two matches | against the city cricketers.

The fact that it has rained for the last four or five Sundays has made it difficult for the tennis players here and across the.bay to héld their scheduled events. Alameda done well, County' championships running off .matches has with ! surprising speed considering.the unfa- vorable weather.. Last Sunday the sin- gles event was narrowed down to six | men. Three of- these 'are - evenly | matched, w hl'? the others have little or | ro.chance of anhexing the champion- | ship. That Perey Murdgck. will be one of the contestants in the finals is a cer- | tainty. He meets the winner of the Ambrose match jn the semi-fina sure t& beat either of them. In | the other half there is. much more un- Charles Dunlap - has ob- tained a place in the semi-finals and will meet the George Baker match.. Dunlap has not much chance of beating either of these men. He should, however, give a good | account of himself. and if at_his best | might win. A great battle is expected when Variel and Baker meet this after- noon. On account’ of having beaten | last Sunday Variel is a| favorite. Baker is a steady player and can always be depended upon. Variel is a much more brilliant player, but, like all others in this class, hag off days. If he«is not at his best he is liable to be poor. Variel played the best game he has yet shown in his match with MacGavin. True, the latter was not playing his best, but Variel deserves great credit, as he has played | but little of late and was thought to have a poor chance of beating the lengthy crack. Baker played fine tennis in the doubles against MacGavin and Variel. Now that MacCGavin has been dis- posed of the most likely candidate for championship honors is Percy Mur- dock. It was thought from the start that the main struggle would be be- tween MacGavin and Murdock. The latter has alwavs been considered a good first class man, but never accom- plished much until last September. He was runner-up in the coast champion- thip singles, and made Bell, the cham- pion, plagy his best to win. Murdock has always possessed beautiful strokes, but has lacked steadiness. His drive is a trifle wild and his overhead work not up to the standard. If he can play any- thing like the game he put up in Sep- tember neither Baker nor Variel would have a chance to beat him. Murdock showed last Sunday that he is in great form. Of course, it was ex- pected he would beat Clarence Griffin, the young crack from the park, but no- body thought he would do it by so one- sided a score. Griffin plays good tennis, and any one who' beats him as easily as Murdock did must be a player of championship calibgr. In doubles by far¥the strongest team on paper is MacGavin'and Variel. Be- fore the tournament it was thought that Variel would give MacGavin but little support. Since thé défeat of Mac- Gavin at the hands of his partner their chances of winning the déubles cham- pionship are cdhsidered much better These two plavers should win the doubles with little difficulty. The Baker brothers, considered - by many to be their most dangerous opvonents, were disposed of on'Sunday, and from now | ! i | |} I | | i | The committee in charge of the | winner of the \'ane!‘j < YACHTS\H:\ RE BUSY OUTFITTING I EEREPS S | PLEASURE CRAFT [ Commodores Prepare Sched- ules of Cruises, Races and Other Events for the Year SAUSALITO TARS MEET AT | California Club Hopes to Get Good Location Soon and to Begin Building New House - Yachtsmen are already busily pre- paring for the rapidly approaching opening of the season. The yacht owners of the Corinthian and the Call fornia clubs have met and prepared schedules of cruises and races for the coming season. The commodore of the San Francisco Yacht Club will meet the owners afternoon in the clubhouse at Sausalito to discuss a pro- gramme for the year. The fleet of the San Francisco Yacht Club will be in- creased by the addition of the big slocp llie, owned by Dr. T. L. Hill and | Vice Commodore H. H. Jenness, and of | the sloap Angela, recently purchased by to-morrow | D. Moyes, J. E. Gray and Frank Main The sloop Surprise, formerly owned by ex-Vice Commodore A. C. Lee, will be sailed by Blair and Martell, her pres lent owners, under the burgee of th San Fra » Yacht Club. The sloop | Nellie is lying in Sessions Basin, Eas Oakland, where she is being put ir | commission. She will be ready to hoist sail in about two weeks, | Dr. T. L. Hill's yawl Phyllis, which | was under charter last year to Lest Hammersmith and friends, being | overhauled at Sausalito. It is probak that Lester Hammersmith will sai the sloop Edna, owned by ex-Comm dore E. F. Sager of the Co a | Yacht Club, and that S. S. M | formerly commodore of the Ca | Yacht Club, will also be a memt |the Edna’s crew. The sloop Theima owned by Marshall, Foard, Thompson and Meserole, will be let out under charter. l $t is said that Juanlta has bee: for J. R.

K | Baker’s sicop Emilie rearly in readfness for the season. It is doubtful whether | the bridge over the entrance to the | lagoon can be raised ag: or not. If | it is deemed unsafe to raise it it will | be necessary for the yachtsmen to un- | step the masts of their boats so as (o | be able to pass under the bridge. The California Yacht Club is nego- tiating for a location near the bay end of the railroad wharf at Oakland, and when it is secured will proceed to ere-t }a clubhouse and establish an anchor- age there. At a meeting of members of California Club a schedule races, clambakes and other events arranged by the regatta com- mittee, consisting of W. H. James, W { McBain and A.

The Murdock brothers, Ala- - jmeda’s best team, and Griffin and Gard- ner of San Francisco are #bout the only other teams that have a chance. Tony Murdock is in poor form and it is not expected he will give his brother good enough support to win. Griffin and Gardner play a fair game, but are rath- er outclassed by men like Variel and MacGavin. Play in both singles and doubles wiil be resumed this afternoon on the East Oakland courts, and if possible both events will be finished to-morrow. The tournament committee makes the following announcement: The semi- finals in singles will be called at 11 a. m. Sunday: finals at 2:30 p. m. Play in doubles will be resumed on Sunday. Matches for same will be called at 10 | o'clock. Any teams not present when their matches are called will be de- faulted. The consolation singles will start on Sunday at 9 o'clock. Drawings will be held this afternoon. Any team present this .afternoon will be called upon to play in the doubles. The handicap doubles tourney sched- uled to be played on the California Club courts on February 22 will be played to-morrow. Ten teams have al- ready entered, and several more will enter to-day. Some of the prominent eams already entered are C. Smith and Mitchell, Ray Cornell and R. T. Crawford, H. Schmidt and H. Rolfe, A. W. Worthington and W. F. Bull, Dr. Hill and Will Allen and Bradley Wal- lace and Sidney Smith. The Goiden Gate Club will finish the fourth class to-day and commence the third.
