1t will be hard to pick the winners, as to a
certain extent it will be mere guessing as
to the condition of the wind, which is IL
able to be very fluky. This regatta is the
first ever attempted by this CLUB. For the
past season they have been devoting
themselves to cruising aud attending few
outside races, at which their crafts have
made very honorable and creditable
showing, having won several prizes.
Come what may 1t will undoubtedly be
an interesting regatta, full of ginger and

looking to the Flash to retrieve her lost
position, and on the Whirlwind the skip
pers will have to keep an eye.

With the mercury sizzling i'll the Vicinity

task to tempt any one other than an old
time "fan" to put in an appearance at a
bail game But in spite of the extreme
heat and absence Of ocean breeze the grand
stand of the Haight-street grounds was
fairly we'll occupied yesterday afternoon
when game was called between the San

with glee to have seen the Stocktons win

score of II 10 IL. The home team came to
the scratch in the last half of the ninth

alas, they raped out single run and re-

The heat, of course, played sad havoc
with the players, and as result errors to

against both clubs. Murphy in the box

OLYMPIC CLUB ELECTION.
The Customary Spirited Contest Now
Fully Expected.


The Olympic Clubs annual election of
officers has been set down on the list of
future events, and will take place on Sep
tember B. OF late years the elections in
this popular organization have not been
cut and dried affairs by any means and
this years contest gives promise of fur
nishing quite as much. if not more, ex-
element and wire pulling as heretofore.
The Olympians are numerous and 1t is
only natural that when the regularly ap-
pointed nominating committee has fin
ished its arduous labors that there should
be opposition. and in some cases decidedly
strong opposition, TO the regular ticket.
The club objects to bOssism on principle
and while the regular nominees may be
among the best men available, the opposi-
tion whisper Is started, and becomes
louder and mere emphatic each day till at
last 1t becomes veritable war whoOp.
The mbers DO this out of no spirit of
rebellion or spite, but simply to make
matters interesting and keep some of the
candidates from enjoying peaceful slum-
Der. For the coming election the nomi-
mating committee has named the follow
ing regular ticket: For president. b. p.
Flint: vice-president, P. f. Dunn; secre-
tary, i. M. Pennell: treasurer, Henry 3.
Russ: leader, John HammersmiIh: cap
tain Horace Coffin; drectors-J. OBJ.
Gum; f. W. Eaton, M. 81. Weed. L. ID.
Owens and DR.. Edward n. Short.
A three-sheet poster has already been
placed in prominent position on the
walls of the clubhouse and Already the
talk of opposition is heard in undertones
from the boiler-roOm TO the skylight.
Certain of the regular candidates have
been spotted, so to speak. and an able
bodied opposition ticket may be expected
to put In an appearance before the close
of the week

Hogue Makes the Score of the Day.
The CALIFORNIA; Showed Under
in Spite of the Heat.

While those who were so unfortunate as
to be kept in the city yesterday had to
dream of green fields and mountain
brooks as they mopped their brows and
consulted frequently the glass-meaning
the thermometer = cricketers and their
spectators at Alameda were exactly in
their element
Everybody agreed that the day was an
ideal one for the game. and in truth, as
the world is informed by the festive
Jingle In ''Pickwick," il never is too hot
for cricket.
The match in question was Pacifcs VS..
Alamedas. and rather more than usual in
terest was bestowed upon it from the fact
that the seasons meridian being lust
passed and the two clubs being so close in
the race, everything depended upon this
aud the next few encounters.
The Pacitics opened the ball and made
very creditable showing of So. Wiseman,
Wise and Grifiths playing good innings.
Had not Meyers and Cassidy come to grief
as they did the total would surely have
been considerably enlarged.
The Alamedas made 141. IA of which
were due to those doughty veterans, Hogue
and Ward ST.. Randall and Hood con-
tributing between them 80 more, which
gives the other wiekets only 20 runs.
But, as with their opponents. one of their
best men. Moriarty. failed TO score. Cas-
sidy and GriffithS did all the bowling for
the scarlet and blacks. their other bowler,
Sewers, as was announced in yesterdays

As the scores show, the Alamedas won
the event by 90 runs.

The fual event Of the day was the firing
for the last bullseye prize. John Utschig,
Jacoby and a number of others were
active participants. For nearly quarter
of an hour they banged away as rapidly as
they could load and pull the triggers. At
the last moment red flag showed before
Utschig's target. This indicated that be

or ring target There was great excite
ment on the range when this became
known. If the shot were %, it would

had scored a center on each of two pre-
ceding shots. Helm is the only man who
holds such a record, and every one
thought that Helm had met his match.
The wheel showed only %. That was
surely mistake, and the range committee
hurried to the butts. They returned to
report that Utschig had scored "a. He
beat Babin by one point on this target.
The shooting by the prizes Judge re-
suited as follows: A W. Foster. CT; w.
Remensperger, 65; w. +. CAIRNS, %; F. P.
Schuster, 62.
The contest for Otis silver goblet was
very close. IL was given for the best
average in five events Strecker was the
winner, but Utschig was close second,
with only one point shy in the average es-
innate. The rating of Strecker was this:
First in the king shoot, second on the man
target, second on the members target.
third On the most points" target, fourth
on the honorary target Utschig was
fourth in the king shoot, first on the man
target, sixth on the members' target, first
on the 'most points target and first on
the honorary target. Utschig fell down
in the members target. Had he made
half dozen points more he would have
been the cup-winner.
One of the things which makes Utschlg's
man-target score of Is out of so remark
able, is the fact that the central line is
now only half an inch wide. In former
years it was an inch across and on num-
Der of occasions the possible was made,
but with the change the possibility of good
scores was placed further from reach, and

recorded to equal the score of TJtsehip

WHAT LENT MEANS,

a Pastors Explanation Of What tho Sen.
son Means to the Episcopal Church.
Chicago IRtcr. octaH. ....
What do my people do in tho Lcntcn
season? l cannot answer for them in.
dividually, for in this, as in other
things, each mans conscience must DO
unto himself law. But what Lent
means to us is this: In every church
there Is, you know, a revival season, a
short period OF great excitement in
which conversions arc made. too often,
for only brief time. Lent Is tho 70.
rival season OF the Episcopal church.
We extend it over longer period than
other churches do their revivals. and
there Is no excitement incident 10 it.
We purify our bodies by fasting, our
spiritual beings by seli.denial. During
this period We have sort Of spiritual
stock-taking. We look back upon tho
past year and we zee what wc have
gained or lost in grace and We Ivy the
foundation for the year TO como. We
enter upon our work with new courage
and strength. We tako rs our exam pie
our Savior. Do You not know that be.
foro entering upon his ministry he
went into the wilderness aud there
tasted forty days and forty nights, COM
ing out purified? So We for forty days
and forty nights endcavor to tread in
the divine footprints. Remembers:
!. That the object OF keeping Lent is
not to conform to an ancient custom,
but to obtain spiritual good.
.. Tint tho testimony OF Christians
whose testimony is worth having is that
there is much profit in a well kept Lent.
.. That the benefits OF Lent are for
those who seek them, and they cannot
be expected to come unsonght.
4. That the purpose OF fasting is not
to propitiate God by making ourselves
miserable, but to gain control over our
appetites and desires.
5. That whenever money is saved to
US by our Lenten self-denial in food or
pleasure, the discipline OF self.denial is
not complete until we have devoted the
money 10 the Lord.
6. 5Thatall our determination should
be unbiased, our object being not to
find what can be approved, but what
muat be corrected.
I. That ourLent will profit us Just in
the proportion in. which it brings US
near to Christ, and makes US more like
him.
