River in Humboldt County, had terrible
experience with seasickness on the way

crack players will compete.
The yachtsmen are looking forward with
much pleasure to to-morrow's regatta, in
which a large number of the best boats on

The ladies of the Alpha Cycling Club,
escorted by the members of the California
Cycling Club, will ride 70 Warm Springs
tomorrow, leaving on the A. NJ. boat. A
second division of the CALIFORNIA; with
scorching proclivities will leave half an
hour later, but the ladies don't think they
will orertake them. Still, the pace will be
easy, and as the roads are in splendid con-
dition the ride should be very enjoyable.
On Saturday. August 81, road race will
be held over the San Leandro course, the
distance to be either five or ten miles, open
to members of the Acme and Reliance
clubs of Oakland, the Crescents of Berke-
ley and the Diamond Cyclers. There will

differs widely. The Denverite depends
almost solely en- killing the ball with his
terrific right, and in this respect he has
probably no superior on the ceast. Bon
net, on the other hand, plays game some
what on the Jones plan. He covers a
greater amount of territory than KilgaIlon,
and has two good hands, having what is
known in handball circles as pretty left. -
In the event of Bonnet winning lovers of
the game will leave no stone unturned to
bring about match between him and Jim
Harlow, the coast champion, as there
seems little or no chance of Harlow s
match with Kilgallon coming off.
Considerable regret has been felt that
the match between w. McManus pro-
prietor of the Union court. and Phil Ryan,
proprietor of the San Francisco court, has
been SO long postponed, but it has been
unavoidable. McManus' right hand has
not yet recovered from the mistake he
made in striking the wall with it instead

again the match will be played. McManus
has record of tossing forty-two consecu-
tive aces against two opponents, and he
feels sure of victory.

Notes of the Game From All Over

The English cricket season, already
made record one by the achievement Of
w. G. Grace and others, is now at its
height. The dry weather still continues
and as a consequence unusual high scor.
ing is reported. Among recent important
matches are the following:
Surrey beat Derbyshire by an innings
and So; Worcestershire beat Motifs by 1876;
Kent beat Somerset by III; Yorkshire beat
Worcestershire by wickets, w. G. Grace
in this match making duck egg for the
first time this season; Hampshire beat
Leicestershire by 342; Cambridge beat
Huntingtonshire by an innings and Al and
we're defeated by M. G. G. and Ground by
an innings and 40.

An Indiana genius has invented a
'child's seat,' which is thus described !:
"From the axle of the front wheel two
vertical braces run up about an inch above
the tire, where they are joined by per-
pendicular bar coming from the front up
right of the machine. The seat-any kind
may be used-is bolted to this crossbar
which extends two inches past the braces
and turns up. Handle-bars similar to
those on big wheel are here put on, to be
clutched by the child on the seat. A stiff
wire running up from the handle-bars and
curving out supports a sunshade. Any
man who would attach thing like that to
bicycle and carry child on it ought to
be prosecuted for cruelty to children. BIZ
cycles are not built for carrying children
on the front handle-bars and the cyclist
who attempts it exhibits defective judg-
ment and reckless disregard of the value
of human life. A bicycle thus freighted

Revival of Interest In the Sport at
Bakersfield.
The Bakersfield Athletic Club, that has
experienced many ups and downs under
various managers, has again been revived
by sport-loving residents of the town and
placed on sound financial basis. At a
recent meeting Frank Graham was elected

The latter recently divulged a plan
which he and Davies have concocted to
lead a squad of hard hitting fighters into
the Cape country. He will take George
Dixon, Walcott and Elms in his string,
while Davies will have Choynski, Jimmy

COURSING.
Drawings for To-MorroW's Running
at the Parks.


The change in the management OF the
/ TWO coursing parks in San Mateo County,
by which square and intelligent manage
ment and an evident desire to ele-
vate the sport have taken the place
of the mercenary and jockeying
methods of old, has worked Won
ders in raising interest in the running of
the hounds. Formerly it was hard mat
ter to get twenty-four men to enter their
dogs for q stake because of the question
able methods employed, but as matters
now stand forty to sixtyfour dog stakes
are not hard to raise, and the running is
conducted in such manner as to make 1t
worthy of the attendance of sportsmen.
AT Kerrigan's Park the sport is particu-
larly good at the present time, the hares
running well and the dogs entered being
as general rule of high class.
Some new hares from a locality noted for
the fieetness of its rabbits have recently
been received at Casserly's, and the I'M

Some of the recent meetings have
brought out number of young dogs that
will be heard from in the future.
Little Tom, the winner of the 40-dog
stake at Kerrigan's Park last Sunday, has
strong strain of Eldridge blood in his
veins, which accounts for the great speed
he developed when in the wake of speedy
hare. He is by Laurelwood out of Oak
land Maid, and disposed of the fast and
clever Lissak in a splendid manner.
At Casserly's park tomorrow a twenty
four dog stake will be run, some really
good dogs being entered. the drawing

There are few if any streams in the State
which possess so many of the characteris-
tics of an English river as the Yuba. Step
ping after midnight from the snowsheds
to the comfortable hotel at Cisco, one con-
scious of being in the heart of the Sierras
finds the contrast next morning between
the rugged peaks and the pastoral valley
through which the river runs most strik-
ingly picturesque. The stream is not
more than three-quarters of a mile from
the hotel, but it is precipitous and rough
trail to the wooded mesa below.
This Is the month for the Yuba, as for
all the Sierra waters, where the trout alb
solutely will not rise early in the season.

what we are doing. We are making

over 100 sober, industrious hands
in the making of frames and mold
ings alone, which shows that, the
people are willing to patronlze
home industry. providing that
home factories give as good an artl-

when our factory was in its infancy,
thlrty-one travelling statesmen, rep

January. During January of 1895
only three came. For the THINK
Err. comment is unnecessary.
Our factory is equipped with all
the best and latest machinery and
can turn out molding for the mil
lion lust as good in quality and
lower in price than it can be landed
from factories on the OJner slde.
Our pine lumber is cut to size and
to order in the mountains, and our
plain and quarter-sawed oaks come
in carload lots from the mills in the
woods where the oak tree grows.
In buying of us you not only give
employment to large number of
your own people. but you get every
thing at first hands and at lowest

The things we make besides mold
