The Rain Welcome,

The rain Of the last two days has
been greatly welcomed by the inhab-
itants of the city as 1t has increased
the supply Of water greatly and the
water famine which was SO greatly
dreaded, will no longer be feared. The
alarming condition of affairs may be
seen in the fact that until lately the
water at No. I pond has been lowered
to the extent of two and One-half
inches daily. The rainfall, however,
has stopped this. and even raised the
waters noticeably. The river is also
Of a respectable size at present.

A HUNTERS EXPERIENCE,
How He Drowned Duck-A Tale Hard
to Believe,


John McCarty of Texas is a native of
Spottsville, KY, and was formerly great
duck-hunter. He was talking with crowd
of railroaders about the pleasures of hunt
ing, when one of the party happened to
tell story about how many ducks he had
shot. One tale led to another, and each
was less worthy of belief than the one pre-
ceding it. During the conversation John
had kept quiet, and when every one had
finished he said: "Well, gentlemen. you
may talk about your duck shooting, but I
had an experience some time ago that I
viii not soon forget. l was out duck
hunting on a small stream near my home,

cars go within half mile of it. The Mis-
sion-street electric-cars now run within a
mile of it. Both companies are now ar
ranging for rights OF way and will come to
the very gates of the track, one from either
side.
The idea of having racing course other
than that of the Bay District Association
has been considered oy local horsemen a
long time. 1t was not till about six months
ago that it assumed positive form, though.
Then trouble with the management of the
racing system induced number of local
horsemen to withdraw their stables and
sell their stock in the association.
These gentlemen then proceeded to or
ganize the Pacific Coast Jockey Club.
Many of the wealthiest horsemen in the
State identified themselves with it, promi-
nent among them being Adolph Spreck-
els, henry ]. Crocker, Ed Corrisan and Joe
Ullman. They at once secured the piece
of property near Ocean View and began
preparations to turn it into track.
The contracts have been let with the
understanding that the work was to be
com pleted by November l. Mr.. Allen is
certain that everything will be in shipshape
month earlier.

BOXING AT ooLMA.
King and Peppers Will Try q PuncI
To-EiEht-The Bicycle FACE.


The Colma Athletic Club will give its
first exhibition this evening, and as elabo-
rate preparations have been made for the
opening of the first fistic gun, the patrons
of fistic sport anticipate seeing some good
milling. Peppers and King have been
training hard for the past three or four
weeks, and their friends assert that it will
be no easy matter to pick a winner. King
was selling a favorite last evening, the
odds being $40 to Ss so on him against his
colored opponent, Peppers. The latter has
very little to say on the subject, but inti-
mates that King will need have with him
all the athletic qualities necessary to sue
cess in boxing to win the long end of the
purse. The fighters have good records and
should put up hot engagement when they
get fairly settled down to business
The preliminaries will consist of ten
round bout between McGrath and Shaugh-
messy and four-round set-to between
Rochette and Tom Murphy who made
such a splendid showing against the
ago. Murphy is anxious to meet Billy
Gallagher of the Los Angeles Athletic
Club in twenty-round contest, and should
he make a favorable impression on the
managers of the club this evening he will
be matched against the hard-hitting Gal
laeher.

ceremonies, fabricated the cranks of his
imported French bicycle last evening, and

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 23.-The
signing by Governor Hastings of the Peltz
anti-betting bill has had the effect of clos
ing the four poolrooms at Essington,
Delaware County, near this city. The bill
also practically kills racing in this State. for
betting is so closely allied with racing that
but few track managers will attempt to give
racing without it. Over 160 entries have
been received for the spring meeting at
Belmont course, scheduled to open next
Tuesday, and the officers of the club say
the meeting will go according to the pro-
gramme unless there is interference
