At a meeting of the Fire Commis- sioners yesterday Eddle Graney was awarded contract for shoeing horses for the Wire Department. Gra- ney’s bid was §2 50 a pair for shoeing horses and $1 50 a pair for padding. tne Two other hids—one made by Dick Morrissey and the other by T. J.| Crowley—were the same as Graney’s. Crowley asserted before the board that he did not care about shoeing horses belonging to fire houses a long dis- tance from his shop, which is located near the water front, for the reason that there was but little profit in doing this work. This put him out of the running, as the specifications called for one firm to do the entire work of the department. Chief Sullivan® said that Graney Lad done the work sat- isfactorily, and the Commissioners gave him the contrsct. The contract of hauling garbage for the Fire Department was awarded to | 3. F. Fopplano, whose bid of $275 for | the year's work was the lowest. The contract for supplying two steam fire engines to the department was not awarded. R. S. Chapman & Co. agreed to furnish the department with two. engines according to specifications for £10,550. A bid was received from A. J. Coffee to furnish two engines for $10,250. The uwarding of the contract was deferrcd until next week, when representatives of the two firms will show experts the merits of thelr en- gines, —————— Assessment Sewer.

(Coxy 5 HONDRS IRE AT STAKE The fifth annual tennis tournament for the champlionship of San Francisco | will be started to-morrow on the Cali- {fornia Club courts. Heretofore the event has commenced on Decoration | day and has been completed soon | thereafter as possible. The new plan |is an improvement, as it will insure | some good matches for the 30th, when the final rounds will be played. As | much of the event as possibie will be | played to-morrow with the hopes of completing the finals and challenge magch on Tuesday. Percy Murdock of Alameda is the present champion and will defend on Tuesday. He has had but little prac- tice of laic, but is expected to score his second victory for the cup. The trophy to be competed for is the Joseph D. Grant cup, donated two years ago. J. D. MacGavin was the first man to have his name inscribed on the cup and the first champion to stand out. He was beaten last year by Murdock in the, challenge match. George Whitney was the first cham- pion. Grant Smith succeeded Whitney, but in 1903 was beaten by Norman Hodgkinson in the semi-finals. Hodg- kinson in turn lost to MacGavin in the finals. The Hodgkinson-Smith match | was one of the most stubbornly com- tested in a tournament of this kind. In the final set Hodgkinson led out 5-2 and 40-0, but Smith made a great spurt and pulled the score up to 6-5 in his favor. Hodgkinson won the next three games and set. The tournament this year will possess less class than any event of the kind in the past. There will be no players like Whitney, Smith, MacGavin and Hodgkinson in the list. There will, however, be a number of clever young players in the competition, which should bring out some excellent tennis. There are undoubtedly more players evenly matched than in the past. Here- tofore two or possibly three players have had the tournameWt between | them. This year the following players jare given almost an equal chance to win: George Baker, Carl Gafdner, Her- bert Schmidt, Harry Rolfe, Herbert Long and Clarence Foley. Of these George Baker is probably | the best. A majority pick him to win | the tournament and his clubmates from the park expect to see him wrest the championship from Murdock. The pub- lic ceurt players are anxious to annex the championship, which has never fallen to one of their number, Last year Baker disappointed his admirers by losing to Herbert Schmidt early in the tournament. It has been claimed since that Baker was off in his game, ;and the fact that he failed to make a { showing even proves this contention. George James, probably the Califor- nia Club’s strongest player, will not compete. He has overdone it of late and a rest of at least a month has been ordered by his physiclan. Of the cracks entered Gardner looks to have the best chance to beat Baker. He has improved considerably of late and is iplaying a good game at present. | Schmidt is the most uncertain player j of the lot. If he plays as he did against Baker last year he would undoubtedly have a chance to land first honors. Rolfe 1s a steady player, but few con- cede him much 'chance to win. Long is like Schmidt. At times in practice he is a world beater, but in tourna- ments he seldom does himself justice. The. following players have already affixed their signatures to the entry list, which closes this afternoon: Har- old Gabriel, Herbert Long, Alexander Beyfuss, Melville Long, Carl Gardner, Dr. Bush, Herbert Schmidt, Harry Routh, Albert Kenyon, George Baker, Clarence Foley, F. C. Adams, James Code, B. F. Nourse, W. G. Knowlton, Harry Rolfe, arles Kuehn, G. H. Busch and E. P. Finnegan. The Ladies’ will hold a handi- cap singles to t for the Van HOLIAY COLF 0N THE LINS The competition on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club for the Gustav Sutro cup has reached ‘the final round, A. 8. Lilley having beaten W. J. Casey I up on ‘Wednesday after a close match. A. S. Lilley will meet J. J. Crooks in the final match, which will probably be played on Decoration day. In the opening round of the competition J. J. Crooks beat J. H. Follis 3 up, F. A. Wilkins beat Dr. F. W. Skaife 2 up, W. J. Casey defeated R. J. Davis 4 up 3 to play, and A. S. Lilley won from G. W. Heintz, 6 up b to play. In the second or semi-final round J. J. Crooks beat F.-A. Wilkins 4 up 3 to play, and A. 8. Lilley won 1 up from W. J. Casey. On Decoration day there will bé an ap- proach-putting competition on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. The quali- fylng round of a competition for the Council's cup for men will be held on tne same day, the eight players making tiie best gross scores to qualify for the match play rounds. A cup will be presented to the player who makes the best net score. after handicap has been deducted, in flie qualifying round. It is probable that handicap compefl- tions will be held on Decoration day on the links of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club and of the Claremont Coun- try Chub. The next competition of the California ‘Women Golfers' Association will be held on Wednesday, June 28, on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club for the North- ern division and on the course of the San Diego Country Club for the Southern di- vision. It will be a handicap competition over elghteen Boles against “bogey.”!| A great array of prizes will be compet- ed for at the Lewls and Clark golf tour- nament to be held June 19 to 24 on tfie course of the Waverly Golf Club at Port- land. The exposition will present a gold medal and a silver cup to the winners of the Pacific Coast championships for men and women. The man and woman mak- ing the best qualifying scores will receive sflver cups. Silver cups are also offered to the runner up among the men and among the women: to the first, second and third flights of men and to the first and second flights of women in the con- solation events; for the best average driv- ing and longest drives (men and women); for approaching and putting (Mmen and women); for the open handicaps for men and women. The Waverly Golf Club will present nineteen silver cups for general competition, while the President's cup, given by J. E. Young, is for an open han- dicap competition among club members only. y —_—————— Suspected of Burglary. Mrs. E. B. Gallagher, 834 Stanyan street, reported to the police on Thurs- day night that during her absence from the city her residence had been entered between May 1 and 25. Several silver spoons and forks and a gold bowl had been stolen. Lieutenant Lachman and Policemen Gorham and Finney arrested Fred Crawford, colored, and ‘Archie Camp on suspicion. Crawford, who s an ex-convict, had been employed by Mrs. Gallagher to do odd jobs about the house at times. —_—— Cashier for Money Lender Sent to Jail. . KANSAS CITY, May 26.—Miss Fran- ces B.

REGATTA CIVES MUCH PRONISE The boating clubs which form the Pa- cific Association of Amateur Oarsmen are building high hopes on their initial regatta, which will be held at Vallejo on Decoration day. A complete pro- gramme of shell, barge and skiff races has been arranged and some interesting competitions are expected. The Ariel Rowing Club will be sented in every event except the barge race. The club members tain strong hops of winning the barge and junior outrigged skiff races and of doing well in the other events. C. J. Stevenson, the champion sculler of New Zealand and winner of many races on the Paramatta River (Sydney, New South Wales), in British Columbia and other parts of Canada, at New- castle-on-the-Tyne (England) and on various courses in the United States, recently visited the Ariel boathouse. He expressed surprise at the renewed boating activity in this city since his last visit, about ten years ago. He said that the Ariel and South End boat- houses are .well designed and compare favorably with any to be found in Aus- tralasta or the Eastern States. He ex- pected to coach the eight-oared crew of the Vesper Rowing Club of Philadel- phia, but reached this country a little too late, a well-known Eastern coach having been engaged. The annual outing of the Ariel Row- ing Club will be held to-morrow at San Jose. repre- senior enter- —_———— SANTA CRUZ CRICKET TEAM ON ANNUAL VISIT TO CITY Seasiders Will Measure Thelr Strength Agatust Alameda Eleven To-Day on the Webster-Street Grounds.

Al Cumming has returned from his visit to the Klamath and will soon be off to new streams in the Sierras, be- yond Truckee. When he started for home the Klamath River and Shovel Creek were yielding good returns. Will | Burlingame returned with him as far | as Chico, from which point he went into | the Big Meadows, where he will remain some time. | _ Another party which will go to the | Big Meadows next week will be made up of W.

The Truckee is like an 6pen book to Mr. Wells. He has good re-| ports from the stream, the most en- couraging being that It is lower than | it has been for many vears at this time. Game Warden Reed of Santa Cruz sent flattering news of the trout fishing in that county under date of the 23d. He 1is enthusiastic over the sport af- forded on Waddell, Scott and Big creeks. He and a friend each secured limit baskets at Scott, below Swanton, in less than one-third of a mile's fishing. The trout ranged from nine inches down. Mr. Reed did all his fishing with a fly. A number of anglers secured the limit on the San-Lorenzo, between Big Trees and Rincon, before noon last Sunday. James Thompson, Charles H. Ker- nell, Joseph Dober and some friends fished the Purissima recently. They took some good-sized fish and several limit baskets were secured by members of the party. Frank Dolliver landed a three and a half pound steelhead at Poitn Reyes on | Sunday. Howard Vernon landed some | smaller ones and was then cleaned out by a big fish, whose weight he is afraid to estimate. Charles Leonhardt secured a lmit basket on Tuesday on the Lagunitas. The earliest run of salmon known in years has commenced in Monterey Bay. During the week one boat took twenty- three salmon, ten yellowtail and three striped bass In one day. The taking of the bass on a spoon was an unusual circumstance. They are taken at rare intervals in a net, but this is the first one in the memory of fishermen taken on a spoon. There was too much wind and too much mud at San Pablo last Sunday for the bass fishermen. Two boats were swamped in the heavy weather which prevailed. —_———— Makes Settlement With State. Auditor Baehr yesterday made his an- nual settlement with the State in the Treasurer’'s office for the term begin- ning December 5, 1904, and ending May 1, 1905.

HOUNES 4RE THED 00T Many greyhound trainers availed of the opportunity afforded at Union Coursing Park last Monday of trying out their pupples. The youngsters were usually matched with others of their own age and some good trials resulted. This gives them méve experience than being slipped with aged dogs, but it Is difficult to get a line on their speed. Jack Dennis has a promising looking puppy by Roman Athlete-Flery Face, which has the same markings as his sire. He welghs about sixty-two pounds and is expected to prove a clever performer. He is being pointed for the Futurity. Jim Sweeney has a black puppy of the same breeding which has shown a great turn of speed in private trials. B. F. Jackson has some puppies by the great blue dog Beacon which should run well if looks count for anything. The management of Union Coursing Park has arranged for to-day and to- morrow the most ambitious card present- ed for many months. One hundred and forty-four greyhounds will run in three stakes. One round of the class reserve and one of the reserve will be run to-day, commencing upon the arrival of the 10: train from Third and Townsend streets. Phe special stake in its entirety and the | remaining rounds of the other stakes will | be run to-morrow. A special car will leave Fifth and Market streets each day at 9 o'clock. There will be no coursing on Decoration day. The Ladies’ Day Champion Stake will be run one week from to-morrow. It is expected the best sixteen greyhounds in training will compete. The first of the series of trials for the Grand National will be run on June 1. The dogs which will compete in the vari- ous trials will be selected shortly. The likely winners in the first rounds of the various stakes look to be: 8 stake—Friendless . Rocked Asleep, La Ri Tillie R, R-c:ah,- Acrobat, Quita, Hudson, Valley Pride.
