FIELD OF SPORT.
Programme of the COrinthian
Yacht Club for the Fourth.
The Match Between Maber and Mahan De-
clared 0f-General Meeting of the Olympic
Club-Athletics at Los Angeles.

The Corinthlan Yacht Club held very
enthusiastic meeting last evening at Irving
Hall with about sixty members present and
decided to change the cruise arranged for
tomorrow to San Mateo Point so as to
make the Marin Islands the objective point
and the Fourth of July cruise from Suisun
to Martinez.
The committee appointed at the latter
town to provide amusements for the national
holiday offered very fattering inducements
to the yachtsmen to spend the day in the
vicinity. $50 trophy has been offered for
race. which will take place in Carquinez
Straits.
Charles Yale, the well-known yachting
author, was elected an honorary member,
and a spirited discussion arose as to whether
the club should be limited to $50 members.
This matter was argued at length and finally
laid over until the meeting in September.
Seventeen boats will cruise to Martinez,
two of which are now being constructed at
the yards. This will be the largest fleet of
yachts that has ever sailed from Sausalito.
FIGHT DECLARED OFF.
The Directors Of the California Club were
Informed by Nike Quilligan last evening
that Billy Mabrr is very sick man, and
that 1t would be too much to expect him to
enter the ring on the 29th inst in a fit condi-
ton to fight anybody. Maber is con-
on this Coast his health has not
been good. The club wisely con-
cluded, after short session, to declare
the match off for the present and substitute
a series OF boxing and wrestling bouts be-
tween local pugS, WHO can be always had to
box limited number of rounds. A meet
ing will be held this evening at the clubs
headquarters and all pugilsts who are
anxious TO earn few dollars are invited to

tired champions.

pugilists, has gone ON an outing to Yosemite
Valley with Mr.. Rollins of the California
Club.

NO LOS ANGELES MEETING.
The Secretary of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic Club telegraphed the Olympic Club
yesterday that it would not be possible to
hold a meeting IN that city on the 4th prOX.,
as the time given the boys to prepare for a
field day is altogether too short. The Oiym-
pic Club will. however, send team to the
City of tine Angels, as it desires that the
athletes of the north aud south should meet
at least once year in friendly competition.
The Olympic Club has established a rule
that in future no invitations will be issued
to members to bring friends to entertain
ments consisting of either boxing or
wrestling. Invitations will be issued only
to army and navy officers.
Professor De Witt Van Court of the Olym-
pic Club returned yesterday from pleas
Ure trip to Yosemite Valley. He says that
the soldiers on the reservation stop campers
and cOnfscate all firearms found in their
nOSSa SSion.
