The French pa- per said that he had “gone away with the books and contents of the treas- vry of the union.” —_————— The coal mine employes of Great Britain number 842,066, ~ —_——— KNIGHTS TEMPLAR MAY BE TREATED TO DAHLIA SHOW Mrs. John Ross Martin Suggests That Floral Exhibit Be Held During Big Convention. The California State Floral Soci held,its regular monthly meeting ye: terday afternoon in Central Hall, 223 Sutter street, Mrs. L. O. Hodgkin In the chair. N The matter of the annual dahlia show of the society was brought up by Mrs. John Ross Martin, who advised that the exhibition take place during the forthcoming convention of Knights Templar. The matter will be considered later. Mrs. M. Grothwell, the treasurer, made a satisfactory report of the fin- ances of the society and Mrs. Martin announced that all accounts in con- nection with the late spring show had been settled. A paper on “Weeds” was read by Mrs. A. R. Gunnison and Mrs. Joseph E. Leach showed some beautiful dah- lias and eschscholtzias, Mrs. B. E.

The second annual match, | played last month on the Sandwich course, proved more exciting than the first. Scotland obtained a lead of two | matches in the singles, but lost the lead in the foursomes, and were 1 | down with only one match to come in. { The last Scotch couple, Andrew Kirk- aldy and Ben Sayers, averted defeat for the Scotch, Kirkaldy running down a | long put on the seventeenth green and winning the match. Harry Vardon led | the English and James Braid the Scot- tish team. Vardon's card for the first round read 6, 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4; total, 35; and Braid’s score was 5, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3, 5; total, 35. At the tenth hole Vardon took the lead, but lost the eleventh, and, the last seven holes be- ing halved, the match ended all square. | Vardon’s medal play score for the eighteen holes was 72 and Braid's was 73.

With the coast championship events less than two months away the players will put in every spare moment before the nets. the California and the Golden for a courts week from to-morrow. On the of the former club the.sixth handicap doubles tournament for the Directors’ cups will be held. The first and second class men will meet in cup contests on the public courts at the park. Since 1901 every coast championship Southern California. Last year Percy to beating Champion Bell. This year the outlook is even better. Murdock has improved since the last tournament and MacGavin has come to the front as a likely candidate. Smith will not participate but MacGavin and Mur- dock will make a combination the champions will find hard to beat. Smith intended to play In the doubles With MacGavin but the match with MacGavin last Monday made it evi- dent to the ex-champion that any further play this year would result in permanent injury to his health. Smith and MacGavin have ranked second as a doubles team for three years and each year have succumbed only to the champlons. As Freeman will not play in Septembar the howe players could probably ammex the championship this vear with little difficulty. Smith may get into shape by next year but it is doubtful if he will ever play in a tour- nament again. The tournament last week proved conclusively that Herbert Long and Clarence Griffin. are easily the most promising young players in the vicinity of San Franmcisco. Considering it was Long’s first appearance at San Rafael his showing was remarkable. While Griffin does not possess as much skill as Long he has other qualities that are essential to successful tournament play. we | ) ! i N = DUNLAR S| HAROLD D v - = i e : . LIGHT HARNESS HORSES OF WHICH MUCH IS EXPECTED ON THE FORTHCOMING CALIFORNIA CIRCUIT. | PLAYERS THRONG THE PARK RINKS The Gentle Pastime of Seot- tish Bowling Continues to Gain in Popular Favor il S, Although many of the club members are out of town the green at Golden Gate Park is much too small to ac- commodate the numerous Scottish bowlers who congregate there on Sat- urday afternoons. The players forced to wait their turn and early in the afternoon only doubles are played. Despite the fact that the popularity of are naments under way. Both were start- ed several months ago, but the players do not get together. The doubles event should have been completed last Saturday but as yet the semi- final round has not been played.. The match which was set for last Satur- day will be played to-day. The con- testants will be W. R. Eaton and Dr. Hamilton and James Mearns and Thomas McNaught. The winner of this match will meet Maxwell Crowe and J. M. Duncan in the finals next Saturday. The contestants in the semi-final match are evenly matched and a close contest will result when they meet. Many of the players think Dr. Hamil- ton and Eaton will carry off the hon- ors but the other men have bowled well throughout the tournament. The singles tournament is in a more chaotic state even than the doubles. Defaults have greatly outnumbered matches actually played and it be- gins to look as if the tournament would be abandoned. The lack of success of this tournament is un- doubtedly due to the fact that the names of all the club members were drawn. Some had no intention of playing, and many are out of town, and consequently only a few matches have been played. In the doubles tournament only those competed who entered their names. The victory of the Oakland bowlers on Monday was a surprise. In the two previous meetings the home bowlers | won with ease and the visitors were hardly conceded to have a chance.

Hill (in the stead of Bridgman, who is ing on the Challenger). Roy C. Ward and C. M. Gunn; the Corinthian mem- bers being T. J. Kavanaugh, J Bulger and A. J. Young (in place of Douglas Erskine, one of the Cor- inthian’'s erew) The two racing boats were measured on Tuesday at the Fulton Iron Works Farrar, measurer of the §ar by W. W. Francisco Yacht Club and by Georg W. Harrold, measurer of the Corin- | thian Yacht Club. The sail area of th | Challenger 964.26 square feet, the | square root of which is 31.05; this added to 26.15, the length on the water-line, gives a total of 20, which, being halved, gives 28.60 as the racing length. The raci h of the Challenger in 1902 was 58, which, for the caleu- lation of time allowance, is the same as 28.60. The racing length of the Corinthian 1s hér jib was to the t area of the canvas could not be ained. The et again on Thursday and found her racing length to be — feet On Tuesday F. Stone and Dave Dean sailed the Corinthian from Tiburon to the city front and back. The judges’ boat to-day will be either the steamer Sunol or the Resolute. It will be the Powell-street wharf at 11:30 in t orning. The preparatory gun will fired at 12:30 p. m., the yvachts being allowed two minutes within which to cross the line without penalty. The stakeboat off Angel Is- land, three miles due north from the is the first mark and will be F. Stone’s sloop Presto; the sloop Surprise will be the Blos- som Rock stakeboat. The starting-line at the end of Powell-street wharf will be marked at one end by a launch and at the other by a whitehall. The obinion is frequently heard among y tsmen that heavy weather will suit the Challenger best and that a light breeze will favor the Corinthian As it is low water at Fort Point at 1:52 m., the first part of the race will be sailed on an ebb tide and the last part on a flood. It is problable that the water wil! be smooth under these cir- cumstances. It is reasonable to suppose that the Corinthians, before they sent in the challenge at such a date that the race would take place in July, when the winds are strongest, had satisfled themselves as to the performances of their boat in a hard blow. The smooth water is generally admitted to be fav- D orable to the Corinthian’s chances. It is said that in Eastern waters the yachts of the scow type prove faster than the fin-keel craft. The tenth annual race for the Wal- lace trophy of the California Yacht Club will be sailed to-morrow, the course being from the Oakland broa gauge mole and around Presi Shoal buoy, distant six nautic leaving it on the port back to the starting to ory gun for a one- club are ails out and a run home.

The trophy is at present held by the sloop Thelma, which won it last year. The proposed handicap race of the Corinthian yachts from Vallejo to Tiburon on the Fourth was not held The yachts too much scattered during the holidays and some of them encountered a hard blow off Collins- ville; which was passed under double reefs. The yacht Emma was towing Bush Fennell's launch, but it made the sloop so unhandy that it was cut adrift in the dark. Next day some fishermen were came along with the launch in tow, re- ceiving $20 for its salvage F. Sager's Edna did not reach Vallejo till 10 o'clock Monday morning, owner and crew being too tired to want to race a few hours later. —_————— Price of Woman’s Life. A suit for $25,000 as the price of the life of Augusta Storch was com- menced yesterday against the United Railroads by her husband, J. B. Storch, and children, Louis, Zdeny and H. W.
