ATHLETICS.
Olympians Who Are Spiking Up for the
August Field Day.

Olympians Who Are Spiking Up for the
August Field Day.
Ever since the Berkeley University boys
showed their heels 20 the Oiympians there
has been a sekening dizziness pervading in
the walks of the Olympic Club athletes,
which speaks most significantly for itself r
Yes, Tor three or four weeks following
the capture OF the championship colo rs by
the athletic students the Olympic Clubs
outdoor grounds, during exercising hours,
have been as dull and as silent as q ceme-
terry by moonlight.
a reaction has, however, set in since the
club announced field day In August and
the boys who wore blue faces and horrible
froWns are now pegglng away on the
cinderS with greater feelings OF determina-
ton and aydity than ever before noticed
during practice hours.
Ii is hoped that the severe lesson taught
the boys who do athletics on this side of
the bay by the spry young men of the halls
OF learning VIII reap good results, and that
when the next championship meeting takes
place different story TO that OF few
weeks ago will be narrated by the boys who
don the Olympic colOrs.
There is certainly plenty of good material
In the Olympic Club. which only requires a
little stirring up to bring out. The menu
bers have probably the finest and most COM
plet- athletic grounds In the world, which
should induce any man fond of the
SPORT 10 MAKE special effort TO win Tor his
club the event he has entered for The
0lym pic Club has certainly shown strong
desire 10 advance amateur athletic sports,
otherwise 1t would never have given the
construction of an athletic grounds In the
sand dunes thought. The members who
take pleasure and benefit from athletic
exercises in the open should appreciate
what the club has done for them. and train
hard to retain the flag where ii has hung for
years.
The club will have a formal opening of
Its new and handsome edifice on January .
OF next year. The building will be sup
piled by salt water from the ocean at that
time.

Is the no lost accurate Judge of distance have
ever seen. He actually can strike ball
from the back wall and place IL on the front
wall within a space of an inch in circum-
ference. he Is a champion worthy of the
title"
A most interesting game Of handball will
be played this afternoon between four
French handball experts. The Parisans
will use small bats. which they handle with
surprising alscrity, sending the ball from
wall to wall with the speed Of bullet
The game will be decided at the San Fran
cisco court, and as there Is quite snug sum
depending on the result, the interest In the
match Will undoubtedly be great. This
will be the first time handball, as ii is
played In France, will be introduced in this
city. A four-handed game has also been
arranged between RioTdan, Jones, Lawless
and another good man, " hich should prove
very exciting. as the players are ranked as
being qualified TO meet the best talent in
America.
Mr.. Armstrong who Is strong supporter
OF handblll, states that he expects to learn
IN Week or so the result of the negotia-
tons that are now pending between the
irish champion, LawlOr, and San Fran
cisco sportsman, with q view of holding q
great interstate contest in this city, the par
ticulars OF which have already been pub
llShed. IL Greek should happen to meet
Greek in this city. games worthy OF travel
ing many miles to see will be witnessed
1t Is hoped that the matches will be consum-
mated, as the lovers of the game here will
have an opportunity of seeing four of the
best players in the world in action.

correspondence of THE MORNING CALL

Lieutenant Henderson. late Of our regular
army, and who was one of the rescuing
party with my brother. has asked me to put
on record the experience of that fearful
night. | undertake the task with reluc-
tance, because 10 the first place there is
little or no instruction or moral weight in
such work; and in the second place | recall
that incident only with a feeling of horror
and an unpleasant beating OF the heart.
However. by noting one or two peculiar
phenomena Of nature thing or two may be
set down worth remembering; and by
Fastening over the horrible part much Of
the latter may be avoided
The winter Of 1S62-in which Idaho and
Montana were born-was the most terrible
that has ever been experienced west of the
Rocky Mountains for forty years. There
has been but one winter that at all ap-
preached it in length and breadth and aw-
full battling Of the elements. That was the
winter of 1857, when the Indians, made
desperate by hunger rose up one night In
Pitt River Valley, butehered all the white
people and then helped themselves 20 the
cattle.
But this winter of 80! 1t simply tore
down mountains. To this day as you sail
up the Oregon coast you see great gray and
white blOtches on the face OF the black

The Best Lures Used at the Lakes for
Trout and Bass.

Trout and Bass.
Lake fishing is all the 60 now with local
anglers, aud as San Audreas is the nearest
to approach. crowds gather on Sundays to
enjoy the grand sport Of trout aud bass
fishing. Although some very good catches
Of trout were made during the first week of
July, the big baskets fell of TO great ex-
generous moon, which during the past week
smiled brilliantly OF nights on the placid
waters OF the lake and gave the deniZens an
opportunity OF seeing and ieediuX There
can be no galnsaying the fact that trout
and other fishes feed during moon
light nights. and no better proof OF
this fact can be given than the
poor sort of day fishing that Invariably
follows moonlight nights. Anglers who
have wet lines on the lakes for years past
have gained knowledge from experiences
and II Is seldom indeed that any of the fra
ternity OF old anglers will be found on the
water when it's moonlight on the lake.
II Is a pleasure Of local anglers to relate
to their friends that no other city In Amer
lea can boast of having within few hours
journey some OF the grandest lakes for
angling pleasures In America. There is no
other city In the Union that is as conyen-
iently located to lakes that are stocked with
the best OF game and food fishes as San
Francisco.

paid from SO TO $50 for days fishing

weeks particulars will be received of the
international coursing match that DIR. Rae
Of the American Field is trying TO bring
about during the Columbian exhibition
year between 81 British dogs and the same
number OF American hounds. Colonel
North of Waterloo fame has promised TO
give his support TO the meeting. as has also
several OF the principal Soursing men of
England.
The respective owners OF the celebrated
greyhounds Firenzi and Skyroeket have it
is reported, refused n good round sum for
these dogs. The offer was made last week
by young gentleman who Is anxious 10
shine next season among the coursing men
of the coast
1t is probable that the next interstate
coursing meeting. which will, Of course, be
held in MERGED, will have larger purses for
the various events than the previous
meeting. 1t is now pretty certain that there
Will he good representation Of the Eastern
leashmen in attendance.

Of Santa Clara, has a splendid litter of pups

SkyrockeD and L. j. CrOnin's Dan Ii.

that young greyhounds are subject to, should
prove real cliDkers.
q. w. Blum has now an exhibition in THE

handsome picture In cTayon of a group of
greyhounds that should certainly be viewed
with pleasure by the lovers of the leash of

Strange what an Influence woods have on

The announcement that the Olympic

stirred up the athletes to activity. The
boxing tournament has also made matters
lively at the club.
Handball is rapidly growing into promi-

Sportsmen are having good enjoyment at
the traps and in the fields where doves are
found numerous.
Anglers are silent as regards their kills

Coursing matters are dull, owing to this
being the close season.
So far as aquatic sports are concerned
everything is very quiet There is compare
