II there be anything that can destroy the
sport of coursing On this coast quicker than
bad judging it has yet to be discovered.
L he late meeting at MADEIRA resulted in dis
gushing the sportSmen who tried hard to
inaugurate the sport and make it popular
in that section of the country.
The decidedly rank decisions that were
given on the first day of the meeting dis
gusted everybody who had an interest In the
success or the venture at stake.
1t is strange that only one competent
judge among the large fraternity of cours-
ing men of this city can be got to Judge a
meeting successfully. Mr.. Grace cannot
although he has many times caused himself
much Inconvenience solely for the purpose
of upholding the sport by being present TO
judge the contests.
Unfair Judging has certainly killed
coursing at MADEIRA, and il anything should
happen to prevent 'the only judge" from
being present at the MERGED meetings,
safe TO say That the grand old sport would
soon stagger and fall by the wayside,
knocked out by bad judging.
The Occidental COursing Club will hold

There will also be puppy stake for club

has yet been seen there.

ont and none left seemed to have any power
to act, save the boy with bad hat, who
rushed forward and with a strength one
would never have dreamed that lean, wiry
body could possess, seized the PROSTATE man
by the shoulders and dragged him away.
He was not minute too soon. One boot
heel was caught by the first wheel and
wrenched off, but miss is as good as mile
and the Seventh-Street moloch would not
claim its victim that trip.
There was confused rush of people to
help as soon as the necessity for aid was
past. i saw the pompous graybeard, I'M
mindful OF the dirt and gravel edhering to
his back, and regardless that his immacu-
late top hat lay ia mudpuddle, gather that
shabby boy to his heart and kiss his freckled
cheek. The latter looked very uncomforta-
BILE and thoro ughly ashamed of such au
exhibition of weakness, and of the praise
and congratuiation he was receiving on
every hand. Everybody was camoring
with excitement The uptrain came along
with its crowd of passengers. who joined
the throng TO listen and eXclaim over the
story. The boy with the bad hat was the
hero Of the hour.

Big Money VIII BE Placed on the Los
Angeles Team.
The tug war which will take place this
month at the Pavilion is attracting as much
attention at Los Angeles as 1t Is here.
The latest intelligence from the southern
city is that the team that will represent the
City Of the Angels has been practcing for
several months, and that several thousand
dollars of Los Angeles money will accom-
pany the stalwart athletes to this city to be
placed at even money against any team de-
string to gamble on the result.
The Scotch, Canadian and Irish teams
will have hard struggle for supremacy on
this occasion.
Neither team has much to say on the
prospects OF success, bur little birds are
flying around with news which will, il cor
rect, alter the condition OF the game this
time.
The Germans will be most formidable
opponents, as the team is composed In its
entirety OF muscular and bony men, none
OF whom carry an ounce OF loose flesh on
their anatomies. The captain says that fat
men wont do In rope contest which he ex-
poets will be pulled 10 the bitter end this
time, as the teams that have entered know
exactly what they must be capable of ae-
cOmplishlng 10 win any of the leading
prizes.
The peculiar way of exercising as adopted
by some OF the teams has attracted much
attention. The Irish exercise on a pulley
to which is attached mighty spring, cap

The Danes have 1t upon a system of ex-

The conductor did not see her and was sig

boy rushed up. wait for the old lady"
he said, and then darted back, seized the
basket and carried it TO the car. He de-
posted 1t on the platform, helped the old

horse, blind in one eye. hating in its gait

bowls and whines and caterwaulings that at

were two men. one carrying lasso. An

What Is Required to Make Outdoor
Sports Popular.
The athletes who have entered for the
games which will be held on the Olympic
grounds On the 10th inst. are not pleased
with the weather of the past week. which
has deferred them from exercising.
Only few weeks more remain when the
runners will have TO toe the scratch, and il
they fail then TO give good accounts of them
selves the spectators will retire dissatisfied
with the sports.
Two weeks of fine weather should be suf-
fcient 10 bring those who intend to particl-
pate in track and turf events before the
starter in very fair condition, and 1t is hoped
that some OF the coast records VIII be low
cred, as something must be done to stir up
some life in outdoor athletics.
1t has time and again been remarked that
an interest in outdoor athletics here will
never amount TO anything. The same could
be said Of baseball II there was ne c0mpe-
titiOn. If games were contested solely
among San Francisco players the gather
ings at the Halght-stTeet grounds would be
very small, indeed.
1t is competition that draws the multi
tudes, and when the olympic Club real
ICES this fact it will develop scme scheme
that will put a brighter color on matters
athletic.
For years past the old, old story repeats
Itself whenever an athletic feld-day is
mentioned, viz: mo competition; the
Olympics in a canteT." On the club walls
hang remnants that have been won at an
nual competitions by the representatives OF
the club because they outnumbered their
opponents three to one.
Candidly speaking the Olympans had not
achieved great victories in the past by hay-
ing defeated other clubs, which compare
lively had small fields to select from.
Sufficient TO say that If outdoor athletics
are 10 be made popular plans must be de-
yised which Wi / bring about meetings be-
tween the OlympicS and other clubs COM
blned. This thing of one body Of men in-
variably capturing the prizes at stake has
grown moD0t0nOus, and until a change is
made 10 the Old system Of athletic govern
ment, so to speak. the usual slow interest In
outdoor athletics will prevail.
The Alert Athletic Club OF Oakland is

Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL.

The year 1892 will be memorable for
the application of electricity to large rail-
road systems. and the first great steps to-
ward its substitution for steam will have
been taken. During the last six weeks the
engineers of the Wisconsin Central, the
Illinois. the Pennsylvania and the Boston
and Maine roads have made thorough lnVeS-
LEGATIONS into all the recently PATENTED ap-
pfiances and orders have been given which
mean practically the introduction of electric
power for the suburban traffic of all these
roads. Tie Wisconsin Central. a road leased
by the Northern Pacific. viii be the first to
test the system for its passenger traffic to
suburban points out of Chicago, and very
likely it viii be applied to the entire distance
between Chicago and Milwaukee.
AS now planned the idea is TO make that
distance of about so miles in one hour or
less. The much-mooted electric line be-
tween Chicago aud St. Louis is another of
the projects which may come TO completion
during the year, although great engineers
and railroad men with whom | talked on
the subject speak very doubtfully Of that.
at is not a question any longer of
covering the distance in two and half
hours, for that can be DONE" said one
Of the most prominent vice presidents

ranged for by means Of incandescent cleo
trio lights with telephone communication
between cars upon the same section " neither
moving or standing still. The incandescent
lights are to illuminate the track for mile
ahead and one mile behind all trains. and
while 1t is Intended TO avoid grade crossings
as much as possible, an electric ball will
ring and red electric light VIII be shown
at each crossing two minutes before the
passing If the trains. The electrician pro-
posed Is low. light and compact. The top
OF the ear would be only nine feet above the
rail. with edge-shaped nose in front to
decrease the air resistance and assist In
keeping the car down on the track The
driving wheels would be six feet in diam
eter, with q separate electric motor to each
pair capable Of giving 800 revolutions a
minute to the drivers. The entire car with
its motor is To weigh 10 tons.
President Taltovall of the Electric Age
discussed the road in an interview | had
with him, and expressed the opinion that
any higb-speed electric surface road would
prove to be slaughter pen.
Il believe" said ne. that the project of
l.. +. Clohesy, the famous Western elec-
trIeal engineer and expert, is the nearest to
solution of the problem. That provides
for an electric elevated road, with rails and
guards affording absolute protection from
derailment No amount Of signaling can.
IN my opinion. suffice to avert danger at
crossings. Such a thing as getting out of
Inc way OF a train running at a speed of 100
miles an hour cannot be thought Of Some
plan Ike Mr. Clohesy's, which will provide
Tor elevated tracks at all crossings and
through cities, will be a success"
The most important tests to be made in
New DIRK City during the next two months
VIII be those in charge OF Mr.. Edison on a
stretch OF tie FOurth-ayenue surface road
above the Bowery junction. l understand
that the work Of providing q suitable track
has already been started, but some experi-
ments have yet to be made by Mr. Edison
before the crucial test can be undertaken.
visited the great inventors laboratory in
orange this week, and met instead OF Mr..
Edison one Of his most trusted assistants.
The only thing in the way of the New
York experiments" said he, sis the fact
that Mr.. Edison is now devoting his atten-
sion TO perfecting his plans for smelling ore
by electricity. When something definite
and tangible is accomplished in that branch
of applied electricity Mr. Edison will prob
ably be ready to begin his tests of the cleo
tTie railway"
