All the loren con dark clouds hung threat
eniDgly over the towns around the bay,
and Jupiter Pluvus seemed likely at any
time to open MS water spouts. The rain
did not come, but the threatening attitude
kept at home majority of those who
otherwise would have been present and
helped to swell the funds of the club.
Added to this stiff cold wind travelled
across the bay with remarkable rapidlty.
and it was this which really did mar
the days enjoyment The crowd sought
the friendly shelter of windbreRkers and
the lee side OF the lighthouses. while the
thinly-cad divers and swimmers stood
shivering between acts or sought the club
room and the protection OF outer garments
to warm them for the next feat of skill. II

weather the divers who ventured to the
top of the 76-toOt tower for leap into the
swimming tank, dared to assert with con-
siderable pOsitiveness that they had dis

ing tide, and dashed against the bathing
houses.

self on his head in the tub and suddenly
reverses, throwing the tub on top and
himself underneath, where he remains
FIVE minutes. Raymus showed himself an
artist in more ways than one. He per-
forms several very difficult feats and is a
smooth diver.
AID Kahn was the clown and furnished
no end of sport with his good atured, TO-
vial manner and funny capers. He is a
very large fellow, and when he struck the
pond in his jump from the 76-foot eminence
the tank looked as though it were being
lashed by the bolts of JOve. The Chinese
paras0l which he took up with him was
turned wrong side out by the wind. and be

Some very pretty trapeZs diving was
done by large plumber OF the club. King,
Green, Raymus. Rosenbaum and Brown
all did some neat work. Mowbry and
Brown both did the Edison dive" a diff
cult feat. almost perfectly. This dive is
original with the CLUB. The cOrkscrew
dive was also performed by Mowbry.
The springboard diving was participated
in by nearly all the divers, and all manner
of contorti0ns ever done from a spring
board was executed by them.

SPORTING GOSSIP.
Class Bicycle Races to Be
Abolished.
Resolution Adopted by the Associa-
ton at San Jose - The Pro-
posed Wrestling Match.

It Is proposed to do away with class
races in cycling gatherings on this coast.
1t is decided that the field is hardly large
enough for such distinctions.
Or Saturday afternoon Haley, Hahn,
Glider, Espinosa and Hunter of the
OLYMPIC Club took a run down to San Jose
for the purpose of joining the Garden City
boys in a run to Santa Cruz Yesterday.
Unfortunately, the elements were again It
them, and so the proposed trip was post
poned until Sunday next. The Olympic
boys rode up the other side of the bay
yesterday in a little over three hours.
While in San Jose the boys attended a
meeting of the California Cycling Associa-
ton, held at the rooms OF the San Jose
road club, where the all-important ques-
ton of class racing came up for debate.
In the end the following resolution was
adopted, and will be presented for con-
firmation at the next meeting OF the asso-
citation:
"ReSOLUed, That Ii is the sense OF this as
ISOLATION that class A races be abolished at
Subsequent race meets, and that racing
men be restrained by their clubs from en-
teriug race meets where such events are
given"
The boys say that the above is a good
IcsoIuhVn "nU ohouiu NC Cailieu IntO
effect
Bliss and Otto ZiegIer have discovered
that the climate of California does not
agree with them. They leave for the East
to- morrow.
That there will be no more bicycle racing
at the Midwinter Fair seems an esta b.
lshed fact. The boys say they cannot get
their prizes when they win them. Bob"
Terrill of the Bay Citys said last night
that he exhibited his powers at the fair,
won two prizes which he never received,
and that's all he knows or cares 10 kno
about it. 1t was stated that prizes in the
shape of suits of clothes were granted, and
orders given on a certain tailor in the city.
| but when the winners went to have their
I measures taken they were curtly Informed
that the orders had been connterman ded.
| Perhaps the gallant Colonel Robinson can
| afford some explanation.
Then again the rivalry between clubs
seems to have had q great deal to do with
! H.. One club says the other wanted to
have matters all its own way.
There Is little or no gossip over the pro-
posed wrestling match between Gus Unger-
mana and William Il. Haberly. II is
pretty generally conceded that Unger-
| mann is only bluffing He asks for a $500
trophy, to be awarded to the winner.
| Such demand is held to be out Of all
proportion with prizes for amateur con.
tests. 1t savors of professionalism, ath-
| leies say. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
! the two men will meet. 1t would be q
great match. But there is strong doubt
about the weights. Ungermsnu will
doubtless want to wrestIe at 158 pound,

rather the duck was too tame TO make the
snort exciting, and the ease with which
the Web-fOoted swimmer was caught rath-
er huodooed the duck family.
The cold atmosphere made the shallow
water sports disagreea Bile for the boys and
interesting for the audience, so they
were dispensed with.
The high diving from the 76-foot tower
was the climax of the days sport and
r. King, president Of the Grub, was the
first diver. With a delicate poise he
sprang out from the giddy height, and
turning as he went down entered the
water hea foremost. Ed Mowry followed
with a pretty dive.
Harry A. Harmon easily leads the club
in nigh diving. and indeed bids fair TO beat
the world if be does not, like many of his
predecessors. find a premature grave by
the side OF the path leading to fame and
prominence. The highest straight dive on
record is from the height of eighty feet
and three inches. Harmon and several
other of the club members make the rs.
| foot straight dive, and Harmon likewise
takes single back somersault, a single
| front sOmersault and q double back and

height. Yesterday he only did the straight

GOOD WORK IN THE FIELD.
The CALIFORNIA; and Alamedas
Lower Their Flags.
BOHEMIA HAS A NEW BOWLER.
The Umpire Has Some Difficult
Decisions - Gallery Catches
on Both Grounds.

The glorious uncertainty of cricket was
we'll exem plitied al Alameda yesterday IN
the match between the cup-holding Ala
medals and the Paciics. The champions
came to the field with their full strength,
but partly owing to evil fortune and
partly to the improved fielding of their
foes, we're obliged to lower their colors.
The interest taken In the game was evil
denced by the very large attendance of
spectators, which could not be accommo-
dated on the grand stand.
The Pacifcs went first to bat and scored
Ill runs. The merit OF this total is prin-
cipally ue to Cassidy, who played very
good inning of 81. and to Griffiths and
Meyer, who showed their best form with
scores OF 20 and II respectively. Hills 10
runs were put together with careful play,
and when the telegraph registered three
figures at the close of the inning every one
knew that the Alamedas had their work
cut out foT them, while still IN doubt as to
the issue.
Misfortune, however, seemed TO be the
champions lot. Hogue slipped his first
ball into JOhnston's hands. The latter
fell as he caught 1t, so appealed. The
umpire decided against the 6atsman and
the unfortunate controversy which ensues
in near decisions on the ground-in de-
fiance of all rules of cricket-arose.
S oman, who was adjudged caught a. the
wickets by Tneobald. also raised ques-
t0n as to the decision. Captain Hood
played careful innings for 20, but the
side succumb bed for 81.
The Pacfics went in again and lost
seven Wlckets for fl when time was
called, leaving the scarlet and blacks VIC
torous by 90 runs on The first innings.
