YOrk-A Big Pigeon Shoot at

Louis TrOnchet, the fencing instructor Of the
Olympic CLUB. is seriously contemplating sew
ering his connection with the great Pacific
Coast athletic school and trying his luck in
some of the big cities Of tile East The pro-
fessor has been a teacher of fencing at Ihe
Olympic Club a number OF years, and during
his engagement he has turned out a number OF
clever fencers, who no doubt Will be sorry to
hear of their old instructors resignation.
TrOnchet is of the opinion that he is over
worked al the Olympic, aud that with the addi-
tiOn Of new classes which he is supposed 10
teach he cannot do the good work MS employ
ers expect of nim. The professor says that
fencing Is anything but an easy task, and that
an instructor 10 10 his duty cannot Instruct
more than certain number Of pupils each day
and give satisfaction.
1t IS certain, however, that Professor Tron-
chet Is a most experienced swOTdsman, and it
is extremely doubtful If the olympic Club can
secure an instructor In this country as cOmpe
tent ana as polished as lie gentleman WHO Is
now in charge OF the fencing department
Frank Gilbert, the amateur boxer, desires to
state that lie has not challenged Stewart Carter
or any olher man 10 meet him In boxing con-
test, but that he IS prepared TO meet any ath-

that he has upheld the hOnors of the club in The

you have as leader in this movement
such q man as Mr.. Sutro. So brave is his
nature that he has never yet matched HIM
self against inferior adversaries. He has
fought against wealth ana power. and he
has always vanquished them.
The speaker thought the right path had
been taken. The matter was one purely
of business. 1t affected the Richmond dis
trct, tract OF land cOnta ming some TO-
goo blocks. AT five lots to block that
would make $4,000 lots. Just look at that!
With all conveniences such a district
should attract people from the best parts
of the city. One five-cent fare should be
enough for all purposes.

each subscribe all he can. Then the fight
can be carried on. 1t would be useless to

country. The railroad magnates had been
consulted on the subject aud had replied ::

We get an extra fare for our steamcars 2"
Dut road was necessary and should be
quit, aud the speaker promised 20 assist
the enterprise with all his power.

that Mr.. Sutro would have the hearty CO.
operation of the women IN his great fight.
we Will not only put down the fare

the municipality show its gratitude to

could easily be done, as streetcar statistics
showed that 2-ceut fare would yield a
handsome profit to the road. Meantime,

few words. He spoke as a stranger de-
slrOus of making his home in San Fran

Enthusiastically backed up.
The meeting then adjourned. 1t was
announced that an extension from this

spring tributaries that would find their
establishment through all parts of the

the pleasure to announce that Mr.. Saltield
