REFORMED DRESS.
Merry Ladies Appear in
Striking Garb.
Golden Gate Park Crowds Surprised
by Short Skirts and Women
AStride of Horses.

They are with us in the most approved
vogue. And they never dream of blushing
or even looking coy a moment. Nor do
they appear anxious to create an impress
sion or astonishment.
They simply go about their own busi-
ness-either in divided skirts when riding
aStride a spirited steed in Golden Gate
Park, or in abbreviated skirts, jaunty cap
and English leggins when propelling a
bicycle along the pleasant avenues.
Evidently this woman's dress reform
movement is finding many supporters out
here by the Golden Gate.
In the park yesterday every body was
taken by surprise to see a lady ride in
among the carriages astride a hand some
horse. She paid no attention to the gazing
Gro wds. but sat upright with seat of a
cavalryman.
Only curiosity could be attract ed to the
novel costume. Ii was quite proper, of
course, for tile weIl-made ridip g-habit fell
away in great ample folds on either side,
and il required a second lock To- learn that
she was not seated In the conventional
fashion. That she was the cynOsure of
thousands OF eyes did not trouble her in
the least as she listened to the music and
rode about where crowds were thickest.
Mrs. Danes looks well to-day" re-
marked a policeman as she passed at a
brisk trot.
Then he delivered himself of all he knew
about the innovation. Said he:

out here now who ride astride. But few

In the six-handed contest the games

match with score of 81 Co IL. but lost the

Charles Sullivan and Waldron played

Many practice games were played, but
no scores were kept.
The enthusiasts are arranging for n
tournament among the Olympic Club
PLAYERS and the Acme and Reliance clubs
OF Oakland. The proposition is to hold a
scratch tournament here and across the
bay in October, after the Olympic cham
pionship games OF October g. Five teams
are TO be chosen from each club making
fifteen teams with a play of fourteen
games each. This would keep the tourna-
ment going for two or three weeks and
create still more enthusiasm i'll hand ball.
1t has been suggested that each club should
give substantial donation for prizes OF
badges or medals for the winners. Nego-
tlatlons will be opened at once with the
Oakland players, so it is likely that bril-

though it is very rare to see any of them
on Sunday. People talk to me about them.
Why shouldn't ladies ride astride ?"
The question was not answered for vari-
Gus reasons, one of which was that tall
young lady OF the willowy blonde type and
wearing very short dress flashed past on
a bicycle.
This lovely creature was out in full
Partisan fashion. Der costume was quite
elegantly made-a plated skirt of velvet
corduroy falling from the waist TO the
knee, slashed doublet or jacket of the
same material under which silkcn shirt
bulged and pc eked cap of cOduroy.
From a leather girde at the waist de-
pended shining bicycle wrench or travel
ing tools. Her feet were encased in
ordinary wheeling shoes. and above them
to her knees were leegins cut from the
same piece as her dress. They were really
neat and had c0Quettish character from a
row of leather straps and light buckles.

the rlucky bicyclist
What are we going to have next?"
The reform French bicycle habit was
the subject OF comment on every side,
Whether its merits were decided satisfac-
torlly was left to the gossips. But the ice
was broken and now people may look for
the new order of things in riding costumes.
1t was such a delightful day that the
park was one mass OF people from Straw
berry Hill to the gates. Around the chill
dren's quarters there was scarcely room
enough to walk and Concert Valley was
impossible. One continuous stream of
Ieople poured over the half-graded Mid
winter Fair site and out 10 the lake.
The steep grades on Strawberry Hill
tempt bicyclists to steal an illicit ride
dOwnhill. In other words, they take
toboggan, or coast, at terrific speed for the
sake of an exciting run. Captain Thomp-
son of the Park police is watching for the
reckless wneelmen, as he fears some acct
dent will yet result from this coasting.
The captain found lady's purse con-
tanning some money and a love-etter. He
says the owner need not be ashamed TO
call for her property.

AN ERRORLESS GAME.
The OakIandS Gave the Friscos @
Severe Drubbin@.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 3.-TEs second game OF
baseball played at Recreation Park to-day
resulted 10 another victory for Oakland in
score of IA to 2. A large crowd was in
attendance and the game was an euthusi-
astic one throughout. The San Francisco
team were unable to hit Jack Horner, Oak
lands pitcher, and up to the ninth inning
it looked as If the San Franchises would
be wbtewashed One of the principal
events of the game was the many swift
running catches made by Joe McGucken.
The Oaklands played an errorless game
The game was exceedingly interesting and
was full of ee-baggers and two baggers,
while there were singles in galore. The
| Oaklands started the game booming by
making four runs in the first inning. On
MeGucken's three-ba hit, aided by
Ebrights error. the first run was made
With Hines and Earle on bases Callopy
came to the bat and knocked out three
Dagger, which cleared the bases. On a
single by Hernon Callopy was enabled to
come home. During the remainder OF the
| inning the Oaklands continued to pile up
runs, while their opponents went out in
one, two, three order until the beginning
of the ninth inning, when the score stood
ID to 0. In this inning Carroll was hit by
the pitcher, and on Magnire's three Dagger
came home. Power and Ebright flew out
and Mcguire beat the ball in TO the plate
In the fifth, as McGreeyy was being hit
hard, T. Sharp was put in as pitcher. The

Preparing for Tournament Among
Three Athletic Clubs-Two
New Courts Open.

Handball is experiencing remarkable
revival at the Olympic Club grounds, and
it looks now as if this popular Irish game
will eclipse other branches of sport dur

There are two splendid handball courts
at the athletic grounds, aud to-day two
will be opened at the clubhouse OH Post

who have formed warm attachment for
the game, even at the expense OF other
pastimes or exercise.
The courts at the grounds were busy for
hours Yesterday, when several sprightly
games were played. Olympians who take
advantage OF their opportunities for mus
Gle development are quick OF movement
and lively on their feet, which qualities
stand well in handball contest They

to put the Alamedas in.
The visitors started somewhat badly,
as Hogue put up bali in the slips with
out scoring. But then Hood and Law
renee got together and the aspect of affairs
changed considerably. Hood ratified up %
when Perry beat him, and Lawrence had
made As in perfect and mastery style when
he was given out leg before wicket. RAN
dali Is generally good for a few runs and
he hit out meTrily for 16. A very unex-
pected stand was made at the very close of
the innings by j. Ii. Halton and young
Ward, who got together and were not
separated until they had Dotched some 40
runs between them. Extras were plenti-
full, owing to the lumpy nature of The
ground, and the innings closed for 17S.
Considering the total. Gadesden's bowling
average of seven wickets for IS runs was
not considered bad.
Then came CALIFORNIA; turn at the
wickets. Heartfelt and Arson made the
first stand and hopes ran high as each was
seen to play in careful style. but 1t was not
for long. Heartfelt was bowIed by a
yorker when he had made nineteen. and
then Arson and Gadesden got together.
The latter played really good cricket ana
it was a disappointment to his side when
Lawrence beat him. He made thirteen
and was in long time for ii. Then a rot
set in and the whole side were out for
eighty-sx. Lawrence took six wickets tor
thlrty-four runs. His return TO the cricket

positions of the players will be but little
changed.
Every court was engaged from morning

There were many new hands at the racket.
and still more are DESTROYS of learninc

Perhaps the best set played was dash

one side and Butler and Wdderman on
the other. The score was 6-3 in favor of

Florence 5:1e:15. Lapwing 5:14:15. Then
from here it was free run bone and all
light sails were set. The Little Annie
here again had bad luck. Commodore
Leonard was short-handed at the starting
time and had TO take some green hands
aboard to make up his crew. and they. n OF
being familiar with the spinnsker,
got it badly tangled up, so that
great deal of its usefulness was
lost. The Florence did not set her gaff-
topsail, which counted for a good many
seconds at that stage of the race. The
