The Olympic Club is now regretting the
fact that it did not purchase an outside
exercising ground years ago. 1t leased its
present site, and In few years hence, when
the property in the vicinity of the grounds
Will become valuable, the club cannot afford
TO pay an Increased rent, which certainly
will be demanded at the expiration of the
lease. The officers OF the club are not to
blame for this grave mistake, as ii is WE'LL
known fact that they had worked hard to
induce the members to subscribe and have
the club own grounds and property which
would increase in value as the years flew by
The present site is white elephant on
the clubs hands, and as it is not yet too
late to speculate, the club-if it desires an
outdoor grOund-wOuld do well to purchase
some outside property which it could count
upon as its own and improve accordingly as
1t pleases. Unless this is done the thletes
of the club will not have any place in which
to exercise in few years hence.

The Pacific Coast Coursing Clubs Meet
ing-Notes.
P. Canavan, proprietor of the Ocean
View C0ursing Park. in speaking of the
way In which the e0ursing meeting be-
tween the San Francisco and Sacramento
dogs terminated, stated yesterday that " hen
the match was made the owners of the dogs
entered for the races agreed to hold and
finish the contests at his park. and that
Fred Marry Of Sacramento was appointed
stake holder.
On the oath OF May the contests were to
have been held, but owing to neglect on the
part of one of the park attendants, who
left the gate leading from the breeding pad
dock 10 the coursing field open, large num-
Der of hares, which were supposed to be in
the cOursing field had found their way back
into the paddock. which unfortunate occur
renee accounted for the scarcity of hares on
that day.
The meeting was then postponed until
June /, aud on that day the San Francisco
spOrtsmen and their dogs were on the
ground ready for business. The Sacramento
dogs were conspicuous only by their alb
sence, and the judge decided that owing TO
the fact that the Sacramento men failed to
live up to their agreement, he would have
to give the match to the dogs represented on
the field.
This decision created quite an uproar and
refused positively to run their dogs again at
Ocean View.
The matter was finally patched up in some
way and the Sacramento men agreed to
Canavan's proposition, viz, to finish the
match at his park on the 9Th inst, provided
he (Canavan) would pay expenses OF men
and dogs to aud from Sacramento to this
city. which Canayan says he has DONE
There was large crowd on the grounds
10 see the races. Among the absent sports
men, whose presence was very much de-
sired. was Mr.. Neary. the stakeholder, who.
however, was represented by William
Doyle.
The San Francisco coursers demanded
that stakeholder be appointed and the
money at stake, S160, be placed in his hands.
Judge Pennie was selected as the most
fitting man for that office and the money
was placed in his charge, to be given to the
owners of the winning dogs at the end OF
the meeting.
The Judge acquiesced to the desires of his
many friends and, to have matters clearly
understood by all concerned, he had writ
ten agreement explaining the situation
drawn up
Neary's proxy positively refused to sign
the document until after the finish OF the
meeting, and on this rock came another
split which remains still open. The home
cOursers positively refused to run their dogs
unless they would be guaranteed their
money in case of success. The Sacramento
men were of the same way Of thinking, and
there the matter lay

Bass-fshing in the Spring Valley lakes
should be very good this year. As gen.
eral thing black bass in taking Il minnow
makes a long or short run. The long
run is when he shows no disposition

which he is going and let him have the line
unchecked by any click. Ii the reel is re-
voIving too fast, press the line lightly
against the rod with your hgner at the end
Of ten or a dozen yards. Strike the fish
with moderate force by raising the arms
with an upward motion, and if ycu MISS let
your minnow drop back into the water again,
and the chances are that if the bass
is hungry he will have another try for it.
If the bass runs few yards along and then
stops, be patient even if he jerks the line !;
wait until he moves off steadily before strik-
ing Always regulate the pressure with
your finger more or less, whether you shove
tho click on or play the fish without 1t.
Keep the top of your rod up and your line
taut in playing him. If the pressure is too
great ease it by lowering the tip, and always
do this when the fish leaps out of tile water.

rived from Victoria, B. c., on Thursday
evening. He says that boating up north is
dull and that Mclean acknowledged before
his departure that he had all he wanted of
Peterson and would not make any further
matches with him.
The Sydney Herald of May 16 says that
the match between James Stanbury aud
Thomas Sullivan for the sculling Champion
ship of the world was rowed on the after
noon of the I'd inst. and resulted In victory
for the champion. Stanbury. Both men
were in the best of condition. and in meet
ing with defeat from the champion Sulli-
van has acknowledged that he has met
better man. The race was rowed with
fast ebb tide, and what wind there was
favored the scullers. The start was by
mutual consent, Sullivan getting away a
little ahead. Both men rowed over 40
strokes to the minute. Sullivan in the first
few strokes gained lead of about five feet.
From the start the pace was cracker, each
man pulling all be knew. Gradually the
stronger and more vigorous strokes OF the
champion began to decrease the lead OF the
New Zsalander, and at the half-miie Stan

lievc that the Mckinley tariff has created
great deposits of tin ore in the country
or that it has made the ore richer OF

at the Temescal mines in California and
it is quite as well known that the Eng

sTEvENSON'S OFFICIAL PURITY.

1t is refreshing in this age of Nepotism
favoritism and general rascality in poll.
tics to read the letter written by General
Stevenson, the democratic candidate for
the vice presidency, to a friend in Bloom
ington. Illinois, while Mr.. Stevenson was
first assistant postmaster general. Gen.
Stevenson's family owned a block in
Bloomington known as the Stevenson
block. A Mr.. Il. j. Bum was postmas
ter at Bloomington during Cleveland's
administration. Mr.. Bum wrote to
General Stevenson relative to a report
that the postoflice at that city was to be
removed from the quarters it then occu-
pied to the Stevenson block. Here is
Stevenson's reply:
In reply to your inquiry whether the
removal of the Bloomington postofiice at
the expiration of the present lease to
Stevenson block is contemplated by the
department answer thai it is not. In
asmuch as a number of gentlemen for
whom | maintain a high regard have
written me suggesting the removal |
should be glad to have them know my
views upon the subject. Stevenson
block is owned by members of my own
family, which fact, while | sustain my
present position, wholly excludes it from
consideration as a location for a post
office. The exercise of official power to
promote the pecuniary interest of ones
self or friends cannot, in my Judgment,
under any possible circumstances, be
justified.
To those vino have been Disguised
with the prostitution of public Office by
the many who regard it as a private
snap and who have made it the lever to
raise members of their families and of
their friends families to a place at the
public crib, this letter from General
s stevenson is refreshing. The sentiment
expressed does him honor and demon
strates his official purity and fitness for
the position to which his party has
named HIM.
