perfectly smooth outside skin instead OF
the lapstreaked type in vogue among such
vessels.
The race will take place on the estuary
on April 81 over q twO-mile course, and
the increased interest which the contest
has awakened among the members OF the
association is demonstrated by the large
numbers of them who visit the clubhouse
on Sundays and holidays to witness the
efforts of those who fondly hope to be
among the favored four to compete in the
race, and to watch progress on the raksh
barges, which are pronounced by experts
to be remarkably trim and stanch and
calculated to be very fast.

already begun, and the rowing machines

Messrs. Blake, Trew, Laughlin and Grim

more desirable material develops between
now and the time Tor training to cease.
Should the university athletes prove vic
tors in this contest, as Coach Garrett

that the men of Drawn from the Stanford
Jr. University will take more interest in
aquatic sports and that intercollegiate con-
tests may follow.
The association was formed two years
ago for the special purpose of promoting
matches between the two universities, and
for time the prospects for Intercollegiate
races were bright; but the death of Senator
Stanford, who had agreed to furnish the
funds for clubhouse and barge for the
students at the Palo Alto seat of learning,
put damper on the matter, and it is only
within short time that interest has been
revived.
The clubs fleet will soon be augmented
by the launching of new 35-foot sloop,

more with reference to comfort than speed,
and is expected to be source of much
pleasure to her owner and his lady friends.

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE7

Answers the Question.
Emanuel Baptist Church was well filled
Sunday evening and the service was very
interesting. Before preaching his sermon
the Rev. DR.. J. George Gibson sang with
great beauty of expression barytone solo,
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne" The
text was John xvi: 81, "Do Ye Now Be-
heve?"
The preacher said: "There are times
when we need to startle ourselves with the
question, What Do [ Believer In the
struggle for life we are apt to become alb
sorbed in worldly things. Another reason
why we should ask ourselves this question
is because ones belief influences ones way
of living. Belief is to the heart what col
ored glasses are to the eyes. Our belief
tints everything. The man who believes
God is love- sees few evidences of hate.
"Some men are better than their creed,
some worse. We cannot account for ex-
ceptions. The rule is that mans conduct
comes out of his belief. We act, but the
action points back to feeling. We speak,
but the words lead back to thoughts.
ga third reason why we should ask this
question is that it is our duty as intelligent
beings to believe something. The religions
and PHILOSOPHERS of the world lie before
US. Which is ours? Whose side are we
on2 If we are not in any army we are so
much lost power in the world. Belief
always commands respect. 1t may be false
or true, but it shows man is in earnest"
After the sermon the large congregation
witnessed again the ordinance of Christian
baptism.

STEAMBOAT WON THE MONEY.
FINISH OF THE COURSING STAKE AT
KERRIGAN'S GOLDEN GATE
PARK.
OTHER VICTORS WERE VALLEY
QUEEN, LONGFELLOW AND
RUBY.

Between 400 and 500 sports were assem-
bled at Kerrigan's Golden cate Coursing
Park yesterday to witness the finish of the
big forty-eight-dog stake that was COM
menced on the opening of this park week
ago.
The day was just an ideal coursing day !;
plenty of sunshine with a good stiff breeze
blowing over the hills from the ocean.
The twelve dogs left in the stake out of
the original forty-eight entered were I'M
doubtedly the pick of the lot.
On the whole the hares did not run well,
and Judge Grace on one or two occasions
was puzzled what to DO, as the runs were
poor and almost devoid of interest.
In the first round Longfellow beat Sal
vator to very poor hare. Lamplighter
and Ruby had nice run to the upper end
of the field, the latter winning all the way.
Will-o' -the-Wisp beat Jennie G in very
short course. Stamboul and Queen of the
Valley ran pretty trial, but the former
had too much foot and eventually beat the
Queen.
The hardest course OF the round fell to
Valley Queen. The hare was a clinker
and this fine old bitch won heavy course.
The last in the round was between Wee
Lassie and Stamboul Queen. Some sharp
work was done by both dogs; Wee Lassie
got heavy fall and that gave the course
! to her opponent by couple of points.
In the second round there was much
better courses. The two first were Long
fellow and Ruby. The latter led to the
hare, but the poet was close up and when
the hare turned he put up such an amount
OF work that when puss fell the balance
was in his favor STEAMBOAT ran away
from Will-o' -the-Wisp. Valley Queen and
Stamboul Queen were then pitted against
each other. Stamboul Queen was the
favorlte by about a point and excitement
ran high. They got good hare and Val
ley Queen went to the front quick and
the gallant old bitch again won good
course.
=, In the, third round Longfellow and
! Stamboul had a short course, which ended
in an undecided.
| In the run-off Stamboul won after good
run up. Valley Queen ran bye and the
usual half hours grace was allowed.
On being called up for the final with
Stamboul, the favorite a hare was run
out of one of the escapes and on the dogs
beng slipped Stamboul went to the front
and led the bitch by two lengths in COM
paratlVely short run. He got the turn when
Valley Queen ran in and killed and lost.

Haight-street baseball grounds, as he

opinion Officer Hooper, who assists Secre-

These expressions reached the ears of
John S. Prince, champion long distance
bicycle-rider, and Louis w. Eberle, better
known as Colorado Sam" a long-distance
rider, who had been matched to ride race,
bicycle against horse, distance of thirty
miles for purse of $500, and there was a
consultation as to what should be done
Colorado Sam had two bronchos which
he proposed to ride, and the first one on
which the cowboy was to sit astriGe was
examined by the anti-cruelty men, when
one of them declared that the animal was
sound only on three legs, and that he could
not go i've miles without limping, even if
the ground had been narrowed.
Then this means that you will not
allow the race to 60 on ~ said Prince

I I!1 the olcychst did not feel that ne would
like to enter the race because he knew
from the outset that his wheel was ,pneu-
matleally tired. Then another asked what
the trouble was. He was told by Colorado
Sam that there was objection to allowing
the horses to go over the track, which is
as hard as concrete
why don't you ride on the grass?'
asked the lnquisitive individual.

asked the cowboy.
"Why?"
Because every time I'd try to make
turn on that grass the horse would come
down on his knees, and ten to one I'd get
killed."
The inquisitive individual then offered
the brilliant suggestion that Sam RIDE
straight across the grass-field and make
all the turns in the track, but his sugges-
ton was not acted on.
Several attempts were made to arrange
match by cutting down the distance, but
the fear of possible arrest made both con-
testants wary and the crowd on the
benches with one accord arose, moved in
the direction of the boX-otflce and de-
manded the return of the admission fee.
The man who held the gate receipts gave
money to those who declared they had
paid an admission fee and there were
many who had skinned under the fence
who demanded and received the price of
admission.

THE TREASURER'S BONDSMEN
Mr.. Fleming Went Back on President W
G. Cochran
And Then the Doctors Friends Withdrew
from mr.. Fieming's Bond as Quick
as Possible

James F. Towel, J.W A. Off and H. J.
woollacott made application to the Supe-
rior Court some time ago to be relieved
from their liability upon the bond OF T.
j. Fleming, County Treasurer, and Judge
Mckinley being satisfied that this official
had given supplemental bond, granted
the petition yesterday.
The application of DR.. w. G. Cochran,
which was filed yesterday, remains to be
acted upon. The reasons gwen by him
for wishing to withdraw from Mr. Flem-
ing's bond are stated under oath to be
the following: That Dir. Cochran became
bondsman for the County Treasurer
when he was still president OF the State
Loan and Trust Company, and that at
that time he had special reasons in COM
mon with other bankers in seeing that
MIR. Fleming filed bond with competent
and sufficient sureties whose responsible
lty should be satisfactory, but that hav-
ing severed his connection with the bank
such considerations do not longer exist,
and he wishes to be released from the
Liabilities that might arise upon the bond.
The motives given by Messrs. Towel,
On and Woollacott, upon which they were
permitted to withdraw, tell the story
somewhat more clearly. Fleming had
promised to appoint DR.. Cochran deputy
treasurer, and as such he would have the
handling of big wad OF the county
cash. After Cochran and the other three
men had become partial securities upon
Fleming's bond the latter let out the pre-
sident OF the State Loan and Trust Com
pany and appointed another deputy.
That is the reason why the names of
Messrs. A. Glassell, Q. T, l.. Duque and
H. w. Hellman have been substituted in
the place of the petitioners and why DR..
Cochran also asked to be released.
