ALL AROUND SPORTING,
The Special Match Field Trial
Race May Be Held Near
Olema.
Something About Wefers, the Cham
pion Sprlnter-Bleck-Ba Bass
Fishing.

Sportsmen are becoming very much inter.
ested in the coming field trial race between
Howard Vernon's pointer Glenbeigh and
Mr.. Crocker's English setter Reds Chaff
The latter is being handled by Wadell and
not Walters as previously stated. ALL
ender who is attending to the pointer is OF
the opinion that the race will prove the
most interesting field event that has ever
taken place west of the big mountains. 1t
has not yet been decided where the con-
test will be held, but in case Bakerfield is
not selected, in all probability the race will
be decided on the Country Clubs preserve.
1t is hoped that the Marin County grounds
will be chosen by the owners of both dogs,
as the ride to Bakersfield is both tiresome
and expensive, and few people interested
in the sport will attend from this City.
Both dogs are reported as being in tip-top
condition. <
Wefers, the famous amateur Splinter
who gave his English competitors favor
able opportunity of seeing his heels in a
sprint race a few days ago when the cham
pionship of the two countries was at stake,
was born in Lawrence, Mass, twenty -one
years ago. He stands 6 feet and fraction
in height; and when in condition weighs
165 pounds. In 1893, while in Boston Col
lege, he performed the feat of winning
four tirsts during the Boston College Holy
Cross intercollegiate games. In March,
1894, he won the New England champion
ship rs yards in As seconds. In this
race he ran away from Garcelon, the
Harvard crack sprinter. His last per-
Torrance of any note in New England was
in last July, when he won the 1O0-yard
dash at Newton in the morning in 10 LIS
seconds and then took the train for Nor
chester and defeated Burke and Bigelow,
two famous amateur sprinters, in the 100
yard dash. In this race Burke led Wefers
by six feet at the 100 mark, but the now
champion amateur Splinter of the world
won out by most wonderful burst OF
speed.
Wefers' best records are: 25 yards, 3 2-5
sec; 80 yards, So Sec; rs yards, As sec.
100 yards, 8 As Sec; 200 yards. 81 As sec.
Wefers was poor starter and an awkward
runner until Mike Murphy, well-known
Eastern trainer, took him in hand and
drilled him for the international contests,
where he won great honors. Wefers is
also first-class football player, and Yale
and Pennsylvania are both anxious to get
him.

ton to fish in the bass lakes of the Spring

A. g. Plat Complains in Court That
He Was Victim.
:A.:G. Platt brought suit in the Superior
Court yesterday to recover on a note for
$780,, with interest," claimed to be due
from H. B. Ravens. Ravens, it is alleged,
is or was president of the Crescent Mining
Company, and in consideration of the loan
of $500 agreed to give Plat an option on
1880 shares of livestock of the company
for $4,000. Certificates for half the number
OF shares were given him, and ss many
more placed in his care
When the note fell due on August 81
last Havens sent for Plat and agreed to
pay. the note with interest for the return
of the certificates of stock. Plat agreed,
whereupon ?Havens said the stock had
been sold for an assessment of 10 per cent
Ravens did not pay the note, and Platt
alleges that the assessment was a manip-
ulation to defraud him.

that all the arrangements down there had

At the regatta held in Texas last year

An Attorney Raises the Point That
Arrests Are Illegal.

for 'coasting" with their bicycles, were
each fined $40 by Judge Low Yesterday.
o. Wehner and A. Small, who were ar
rested for the same offense, appeared in
Judge Joachimsen's court. They were
represented by Attorney Coffey, who con-
tended that the cases should be dismissed
inasmuch as the rules passed by the Park
Commissioners against "coasting" could
not be enforced, because no penalty for
their infraction was provided. Captain
Thompson asked for and was granted a

Why Squads Die.
Young pigeons frequently die in the nest.
and the causes for it are numerous. One
reason is that very frequently the old ones
do not always brood them enough, and the
little ones perish from cold Another causs
is that the pige0n-eote gets infested with
vermin, and the young are weakened by
their attacks.
Another cause is the imperfect feeding Oh
the young by their parents. Quite fire.
quent cause is the filling of the threats with
yellow deposit, which ehokes the young
to death. This is due to a combination Of
uncleanliness and bad blood, the old ones
having q serofulous tendency. In the way
of remedies the following advice win be-
found helpful:
Keep everything clean. Provide clean
earthen uest-pans for the birds, and I'LL
them with sawdust having a strong piny
Odor. few drops of turpentine on the
sawdust will help to keep the vermin away.
When the young are two weeks old, empty
out the pans and give fresh sawdust. Feed
the old birds literally on green peas and
wheat, with very little cracked corn.
Keep fresh water before them, and allow
them . bath once or twice week. Hang
up salt Goldfish for them to pick at. When
it is procurable, let them have fresh head
of lettuce every other day. With such care,
unless the birds are poor feeders-some
varieties are not fitted to rear their own
younger unless they badly diseased,
the young ought to thrive, and the number
which die in the nest be reduced to the mini
num-

1t might be little less work and more
economical if every other division in the
pens were taken out; but pigs do so much
better when divided according to size and
disposition that it pays to feed them in
small lots.
If the driveway through the building
were made little lower, it might be more
convenient to get the manure from the
stables into the wagon or sleigh, but il
would be less convenient for feeding. and
therefore it should not be much below the
level of the floors.
