AT SACRAMENTO.
The Senators Win an Exciting EIsven-Inniug
Game From oakland

another game Out OF the fire In the ninth inning

en-lhnlng contest. The game was replete
with brilliant plays and yellow NUTS by O'Nen

what marred the game and his decisions were
very bad, especially on balls andstrxes. He was

lowing but eight hits and struck out eleven
Datsmen.

nine men. Bowmau's one-handed catch or a hot
foul was feature Of the game. The Senators
made only Two errors, a mis- judged fly by Roberts
and GOdaT's VIDE throw. The Oaklands played
very yellow ball and the NUTS by n. o. Neil and
Mcdonald would have disgraced sehoOlboy.
The home team opened up on MeegaD very
lively IN The first G0odenOugh hit single,
on Stapelon's baser. With two out Reitz hit a
little HF 10 n. ONett, who drOppedit, and Bow

Rowing Notes.

Am ong the rowing men affairs still re-
main at low ebb; so low, in fact, that two
of the once most active clubs are seriously
considering the proposition Of disband.ng
and selling their racing boats. There is not
a race of any kind on the cards, although
during the past month several, have been
announced, but for some unexplained reason
have fallen through.
The Rowing Association has petitioned
the Board Of Supervisors to appoint rowing
men ON the Fourth Of July Regatta Com
mittee.
Harry Campbell, at one time amateur
champion Of the Pacific Coast, is building
racing shells in New York.
F. G. Drum, the genial captain of the
Coldmbias, has got an amateur four that he
would like to have tried out" Match them
against the Ariels, Frank.
A race between amateur fours from the
Dolphin, South End Ariel, Pioneer, Column
bia, Lurline and Triton clubs, for trophy
on the Fourth Of July, promises to be a
certainty.
The two Espys, Moore and Hanarah an
will most likely represent the Pioneer Club
in all amateur events.

A NEW SPEED MEASURE.
A Little Instrument That viii Gust the
PedOmeter.

PedOmeter.
The pedometer's life Of usefulness seems
to be very seriously threatened by a new
French invention for recording speed and
distance travelled by man, beast or vehicle.
The inventor, E. j. Marcy Of the Institute
Of France, has devised very simple ma
crime, to which the name odograph has
been given. 1t draws or traces curve on
a travelling band of paper, which is regis
ter Of the speed with which person walks
or q vehicle moves. The recording ma
chinery is not at all complicated and is not
likely 70 get out of order. 1t consists
of a cylinder covered with ruled paper
and reyolved by clockwork. On this
STYLUS, actuated by wheel which traverses
the ground, marks the trace, and the stylus
moves at a rate proper tional to the wheel.
while the paper moves past it at right angles
with o velocity proportional to the time.
The slope of the trace is record of the
speed. The od0graph is capable Of being
adapted to special purposes, such as meas
uring the speed Of soldiers on the march,
the rate that railroad trains travel, or the
time made oy race-horses on the track, and
it is thought that in the more general use
which promises to be made Of this inStru-
ment it will be found to meet accurately
numerous purposes for which some such re-
corder has been needed.-N. Y.sTimes.

The Worlds Champion Defeated
in a Pigeon Match.
Contest Of the Lincoln Gun Club-German
Shooting Societies Before the Butts.
Notes Of Athletics.

Martinez Chick, of San Diego, defeated
Captain Brewer, the champion of the
world, in demonstrating match at
Haight-street ball grounds yesterday after
noon. The Captain lost eight birds out of
a hundred, and Chick allowed five to get
oyer the boundary.
Forty-seven pigeons dropped in success
sion before the winners gun, while the
Captains longest run was thirty-one. The
champion remarked attain early stage in the
contest that he had never before made such
ragged shooting, and although he exhibited
extraordi nary cleverness in handling the
gun, he acted grumpy and made numerous
protests against the manner In which the
boundary had been marked off. Several
times he retrieved his birds with good sue
cess, but the small audience did not fail to
notice that Chick left all his game to the
dog, and aimed with better precision than
his opponent
The pigeons were not lively. The wind
swept down into the enclosure, forcing the
birds to hug the ground after leaving the
traps.
The match was made for $3.50 a side,

cree, and Captain Eddy and Horace Briggs

A SMART BOY.


How a Fortune Was Made From an
Humble Start
A New Hampshire boy, several years be-
fore the war, found himself in Little Rock,
Ark, then one of the Indian agencies. He
began as clerk and then became merchant
on his own account. Long before the war
actually commenced he comprehended the
political situation, and, in 1860, when he
felt sure his State, with other Southern
States would secede, he proceeded
to dispose Of his stock and in
vested the same in cotton. He
further took the precaution to secure aft
davits to prove his Northern birth and his
Northern sympathies. When the South was
actually invaded his Secesh friends in Little
Rock laughed at him, telling him that the
Yanks would contiscated his cotton. He
said nothing. When the Union invading
forces reached Little Rock his cot
ton, amounting TO several thousand
bales, was seized and sent North on
Government account. After little he
succeeded in getting through the rebel
lines and arrived in New York about the
time his cotton arrived. He AT once pre-
sented his papers to the Government. They
released his cotton. He sold it on the rise
of the market. say at 81 so per pound. Its
cost averaged him about 6 cents. The trans
portation to New York cost him nothing.
To-day he occupies one of the most elegant
mansions in Concord, N. H.. on the site Of
the ancestral homestead, has but one child
and has an annual income of several tho u
sands.-Boston Traveller.

THE BELL-PUNCH AND CLOCK.
A Conductor Given to Exaggerated De

A Conductor Given to Exaggerated De-
scription Tells About 1t.
A conductor on Deacon Richardson's
street-car line in Brooklyn yesterday I'M
burdened himself to a reporter of the New
York World concerning a bell-punch pc
culiar to Brooklyn street-cars. The bell
punch under consideration is carried round
the conductors neck by means of a leather
strap, and rests on his breast. This bell
punch contains also clock, with frank,
open face, by which you may tell the time
Of day if the conductor happens to be facing
your way.
perhaps you think this style of orna-
mentation is regarded with great favor by
the boys who have to wear it," said the con-
ductor, as the reporter drew him out; "but
if so you are the victim Of defective infor-
nation. Maybe you are also laboring under
the notion that this toy is light and feathery
to tote around from O'Clock in the MORN
ing until supper time. just lift it. 1t
weighs as heavy as keg Of nails.
The reporter "hefted" it and found that
1t did weigh, on guess, about five pounds.
Now what do you think man must be
made OF to stand being anchored to thing
like that all day?" continued the conductor.
Every time we bend over to help lady on
the car 1t swings away from one like this,
and when we straighten uD again it drops
back on you like brick house. A man
might as well be hammered all day with
pile-driyer as to conduct car and wear
this fire-proof safe and town clock CON-
bined."
The reporter was afraid he had got hold
OF man who was given to exaggerated
SMILES, but he was permitted to proceed.
" tell you what it is" continued the con-
ductor; lone of John l.. Sullivan's punches
is nothing compared to this sledge-hammer
punch Of Parson Richardson. only l wish
Sullivan and Richardson could have it out
In twenty-four-foot ring, just to settle the
question once aud for all. There's another
thing about this blooming punch. You
must strap it around your neck like a bell
on cow. I'd rather have ball and chain
on me at once and be done with it, When
l was first sentenced TO this business the
strap chafed the back of my neck until
was SO raw that the dogs followed my car
and tried to board it every time it stopped.
Now it is healed up and is as calloused as
the neck of an OK that has carried the yoke
for a quarter of century,"
You seem to have prejudice against
the combined bell-punch and time-piece,
suggested the reporter as he got ready to
leave the car.
Yes; confess to a slight prejudice"
said the conductor. "And why shouldn't
b? When they were first introduced on The
road put one on at noon and boarded my
car. BY some mistake the clock-maker had
put striking apparatus in the one | got
hold OF, and while l was collecting fares
from car full of passengers the con-
founded thing began to peal out the strokes
OF II. 1t had gong in it like a re-alarm.
My best girl happened to be on the car at
the time, and since that awful moment all

Young Mons Christian work.

The usual Sunday afternoon services at
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms yesterday were very interesting.
There was marked increase in the attend
ance owing to the fact that II. Grafton
Guinness, an eminent English divine, who
is on visit to this Coast, would deliver an
address to young men. DIR. Guinness re-
ferred to young mems Christian work in the
British empire and especially in London.
He said that the results obtained by those
engaged In the good work were very graft
flying. In the great metropolis thousands
of young men had been saved from tread
ing In evil paths He also spoke of similar
work which he had seen in other cities he
had visited before his arrival here.
