SOME HORSEPLAY.
Clever Cavalry Sports at
Healdsburg.
A TROOP UNDER CANVAS
Tournament of Boxing, Wrestling
and Fencing in the Saddle-A
Dashing Cavalry Charge.

Captain Blumenberg's troop Of cavalry
gave a mimic representation yesterday of
warfare as it is waged on horseback. 1t
was a great day for Healdsburg, where the
display took place.
The National Guard TROOPERS also gave a
unique field exhibition of their prowess in
the saddle as iencers, wrestlers, boxers
and tug -of-war men. besides showing W at
they could do with the saber In striking
off dummy heads and with the carbne in
firing blank cartridges at imaginary ene-
mics. The knightly tournament, for such
it was called on the bills, ended with a
practical Illustration of cavalry charge in
which the gallant young horsemen dashed
furiously across the stubble field yelling
fercely and brandishing their uplifted
cleaning sabers the while.

Mertes carried off the honors. The boxing
matches were exceedingly ludicrous. The
horses, however, proved too friskv for any
display of science With the gloves. Ser
geant Waller proved himself the bestiman
in this form of contest.
A fine display OF workmanship was
given in the fencing match between Hos
pital Steward j. L. Waller and Private
William B. Cook. Five bouts were had
and the contest ended in draw. Both
men were mounted and wore wire masks.

The mounted tug-of-war was between
two teams of three troopers each. The
men in team were aligned and each
pulled at a separate rope. the three ropes
being knotted together at a point three
horses lengths be mind them.
This contest afforded much amusement
because during Its progress the competi-
tors were frequently dragged from their
mounts. No saddles were permitted The
first tug was declared draw. The win
ming team consisted of Corporal Ernest
Eufendahl who was its captain, and Pri-
Yates Schrader and Williams. The de-
feated team had Farrier j. T. Foley for
captain, with Privates McKinnon and
Meyer to help him.
The quarter-mile cavalry dash race was
also won by Sergeant j. L. Waller, with

remarked that she had never seen so many

The people of Healdsburg had been
promised rare entertainment, and the
cavalry troop gave them one whicn greatly
pleased everybody. The hot rays of the
sun were tempered by a cool breeze
Nevertheless, the spectators were glad to
avail themselves of the inviting shade af-

At precisely / 80 P. NJ. the troop marched
out into the field. and, headed by their
band, gave an exhibition mounted drill
This lasted about fifteen minutes after
which the knightly tournament began.

exhibition of jumping over hurdle. called

Denis Kearney sand lot troubles several
years ago the different companies of the
National Guard of California of Oakland
were kept for several weeks in the City
Hall at Oakland ready for any emergency.
There was also quantity of arms and
ammunition stored in the building and a
close guard was constantly kept Those
who had business in the place were given
a secre: password to be repeated to the
guard at the door.
There was to be Council meeting one
night while the soldier boys had charge of
the building and man was sent to each
of the COunclimen before the meeting with
this password.
DR.. Samuel Merritt was Councilman
then. he gruff1y told the man who came
to give him the mystic word that would let
him through the guard that he didn't care
to bother with such trash. He didn't be-
leve any one would be foolish enough to
try and stop DR.. Samuel Merritt. oh, no. DR..
Merritt weighed about 315 pounds then
and was about as pompous as they make

Well, DR.. Merritt came to the Council
meeting in the City Hall and when he got
as far as the door he was met by brave
soldier boy all in blue with shiny brass
buttons and a real gun with bayonet at

conflict with the general law of the State
they can fix whatever date they please to

their defeats are always unaccountable 1t
is to be presumed that their want OF luck
is something quite phenomenal. They
have a strong batting eleven and more

but they never come when they are
wanted. Yesterday was fine example.
The Pacifics went in first and were
speedily got rid of for 81. Bennett made
10 in nice style before Sloman beat MIN.
Then Alameda came in.
There is no doubt that the Alamedas
were sore at their recent defeat. as under

Halton was not out for 80. The fielding
was loose and there were 81 extras

bowled we'll considering all things.

SACRAMENTO. July 16.-Sacramento and
San Francisco have split even on the
greatest series ever seen in this city. For
four days both teams have been putting up
the finest kind of ball. The visitors won
the first two. while the home team cap
tured yesterdays and to-day's games. A
big crowd was at Snowflake Park to-day,
and as the game was full Of exciting incl
dents, the noise was continuous. Roberts
and Mannasau carried off the batting
honors with home runs. while Rube Levy
finished a close second with his three
bagger. Harper pitched a great game for
the oacramentos, allowing only four hits.

The hoodoo arrived at the commence

game out. The one lone run secured by
Los Angeles in the first was all they ever
got.
Jack Horner was in cahoots with the
hoodoo. Jack was pitching for Oakland
and he helped the hoodoo out on several
occasions. Not content with pitching great
ball in every inning, he made two sensa-
tiOnal fly catches in his territory and few
assists at first that were not slow plays.

made by Los Angeles. Occasionally
