ATHLETIC.
Amateur Sport at the Thistle Club
Picnic.

The Thistle Club has enlarged its list of
amateur events TO take place at Shell
Mound Park on July 1. The programme
now reads: 352-yard run handicap, $50
yard run handicap, one mile run handicap,
open to members belonging TO all clubs
forming the Pacific Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union. The club has
also added a tive-mile bicycle race open 10
the League OF American Wheelmeu.
Evidently the Thistle. Club recognizes
the fact that amateur athletics are in the
ascendancy on the coast, and that more in
terest is centered in such events than in
professional races. There is one thing Ger
tain about amateurs, and that is the best
man always wins. provided the handicap
per is not too lenient TO the contestants.
f. F. Foster is recovering rapidly and Is
now able 10 be about. He carries his arm
in sling and is much annoyed by friends
who want to know all about man-huntiDg.
The SSO-yard handicap, run at she O!ym-
pic gr0undS last Sunday demonstrated the
fact that c. N. Yates Jr. would make
splendid mddle-dIstance runBer If he only
paid proper attention 10 that distance.
He won the event off the thirty-tiye yards
without days training.
The track was at least four seconds
slow, aud taking this fact into consider
alton aud his handicap also, the time Tor
equal to 2:12
II Yates was in condition there is no
reason why he should not run in at least
2:06., as he has demonstrated that lie
could do quarter mile in 5SH seconds. a
runner of Yates speed should even 60
the S60-yard distance in cons Siderably be-
low the time above mentioned.
William \. McCaw has returned to his
first love, having discarded the flying
wheel for the spikes.
All amateur athletes remember his first
appearance, and great things were ex-
peeled from MIN; but he unfortunately
WAS taken IN hand by Easy" Espinosa,
and consequently never look the proper
position as champion IN middic-distance
events. The fact is that EspinOsa is il
Jonah, and all the rising youngsters who
are aware of this fact give him wide
berth.
II. N. Collins. the trainer of young Mr..
Foster, says that he is going to make it hot
for some o; the middle and long distance
runners this season. Collins is taking a
course OF steam baths and has reduced his
weight fifteen pounds. lie will immedi-
ately 60 in training for the champion ships,
and expects TO win at least the $50 and
nnP-miIe events. Mr.. Collins must be am
bilious; at least he shows strong deter
mlnatlon TO win the event he will next
start in.
The handsome captain of the Olympic
Club, BOD Macarthur, Is using splendid
judgment as starter. and there is no doub
but thai he is the equal, if not the supe-
ror, O. any one on the coast in this par
tlcular. 1t Is a pleasure to see the way
that he gets the competitors started going,
neither Of them having the least advantage.
Leonard NJ. Hauseiman, cashier of the
Olympic Club. left last Thursday fer Chi
cago on a months vacation. Mr. Hausel-
man recently captured $1,000 in a lottery
speculation, which will materially aid him
10 enjoy the many pleasures of the Windy
City.

ating electricity from the combustion OF
coal without the losses of energy due to
the furnare, boiler, pipes and engine of
the steam plant. We are not prepared to
say tnat this cannot eventually be accom-
piished: If it ever be. then the electric
motor will supplant the steam engine.
and the 'goers down to the sea IN ships
will enjoy speed and comforts as yet un-
thought of.
1t appears, from the foregoing considera-
tions. that electricity will supersede steam
as electricity and gas have oil and candles
for light as the steamship has the sailing
vessel, and as the locomotive has the
wagon-not absolutely, but wherever col
lateral conditions admit of its use. Bat

FIELD TRIALS.
They VIII Be Run Next Year Near
Salinas.

Salinas.
The Derby entries for The Pacific Coast
Field Trial Club closed yesterday. Eighteen
dogs, including pointers and settlers, have
been entered. and the secretar expects TO
receive some more through the mails TO-
morrow.
The committee that was appointed few
weeks ago 10 look up suitable grounds re-
turned few days ago from Salinas and
reported having inspected beautiful site
within four miles of the town Of Salinas,
where birds were found plentiful. The
place selected is on the west side of the
Salinas River and in the foothills of the
Gahilan Mountains.
The ground, which is, rolerably level, is
covered with yOurg chemisal undergrow IN
in which the quails hide when pur-
sued. The location is splendidly adapted
Tor field trials and the eiGS1S in hopes of
affording It's friends in January next some
good sport. The members, stake, which
was omitted last year in Bakersfield,
lively run at the next meeting. The
judges will not be selected until month
or SO before the trials.
Smoking at bench shows outside of the
room assigned for that purpose has not
been INDUCED in TO any great extent in
y lieIlCd, aUu III 10 only on rare occasions
that visitor at dog show is so lacking in
sense as TO smoke about the benches. At
the great Harwood England show fire
was started in this way, and but for the
presence OF mind of a young man, wEO
pulled out the burning straw with his
hands, the dog in whose box the fire was
started would have been burned and the
building and other dogs as well. Too
much vigilance cannot be had to detect
such offenders and they should be put out
of the building at once.
A Paris correspondent sends the follow
ing bit Of news: We have had at various
times inquiries for toy bulldogs, and there
would no doubt be in America a market
for the breed. "If French dog-fanciers are
bright they will Immediately turn their at
tentlon TO the careful breeding of the toy
bulldog. and before long they viii have a
distinctive French dog that will rival in
popularity any toy dog ever exhibited
For several years these CANNES have been
in great demand in England and America
Yesterday ] went to the exposition in the
Iuleries Gardens. and TO my establishment
found that George krehl of London and
other British fanciers were buying up
every toy bull bitch they could fiud and
were only prohibited from purchasing one

hl0itVe price of the owner. In two wears
II the French are not careful, ENGLAND will
send over contingent of toy bulls as a re-
suit OF this purchase that will sweep the
