THE KNIGHTS OF CHESS,
Eighteen Players Have Entered
Another Senior and Junior
Tournament.
The Game That Joseph Ney Babson
Played at Mechanics Institute
With Steinitz.

The telegraphic chess matches between
this City and Victoria, Vancouver and
Seattle, have given the royal game great
"boom" on the Pacific Coast The Seattle
players have already proposed local tour
nament in order that they may test the
relative strength of their players and thus
with San Francisco.
The local tournaments are now almost
finished. IL the frst-class tourney five
out of the eight contestants have finished
their games. In the junior tournament
seven of the twelve contestants have not
yet played their quota of games.
Two more tournaments have been
already started and eighteen players have
entered. Six games have been played
with the following results: Thompson
won from Lazarus and lost to Samuels,
Quiroga won from Palmer, Denton beat
johnson, and Newman and Cutting played
their two games each winning one.
The great tournament at Hastings, Eng
land, has attracted galaxy of chess talent
that is, perhaps, without a precedent in
the history OF the game. TWENTY-FIVE re-
nowned masters, acting as representatives
from America, Germany, France, Russia,
Italy, and England's own contingent are
now battling for fame and also for prizes,
which amount to about $4,000
Pilsbury, Albin and Steinitz are Amer
ica's representatives. Stenitz will have
an opportunity to play Lasker, for whose
scalp he has been looking since Lasker
won the worlds championship. Piilsbury,
the Boston boy, defeated Tarrasch, the
great German master, in their first game in
the tournament.
Joseph Ney Babson of Montreal. who has
an international reputation as a fine prob
lem composer, plays frequently at the Me-
chanics' Institute classroom. That he is
a brilliant chess-player may be seen by the
following game which he contested against
William Steinitz, ex-champion of the
world. The game and notes are from the

NERVOUS pROSTRATION.
AN AMERICAN MALADY CAUSED

We Americans hurry too much. We do not

reach all cases. Pink Pills come nearer being
a specific for II than anything we know, how
ever, and we have just interviewed two Wash

malady in order to get some local testimony.
The first is ". Heinrich Robb OF 500 New Jersey

'sFor long time," said Mr. Robb, 81 suffered

SPORTING AT FRESNO.
What the Sportsmen Have Accom-
p!ished In FRESNO County

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. S.-For several years
past the Visalia Sportsman's Club has been dill
gently stocking the rivers and streams Of
Tulare County with choice varieties of fish and
the woods and swamps with choice game birds
but just exactly what had been the success of
its efforts was not known. Therefore L. T.
Clotfelter, the attorney for the club, organized
a party consisting of s. NJ Beville, F. F. Barton
and F. W. Mixter and himself-all true lovers
of the roo and gun-and started out on the 10th
day OF July on exploring expedition.
1t was decided to travel east from Visalia en-
tirely to the Inyo County line that we might
know to the fullest extent the possibilities
afforded by our mountains by way of sport
with rod and gun.
We found thai from an anglers standpoint
the efforts of the club had been successful be-
yond its widest expectations. All the way
from Three Rivers point thirty miles to the
east of Visalia, where we came TO the first
river that had been the object OF the attentions
of the club, to Mount Whitney, we found trout
fishing splendid indeed. With our party il was
never question Of how many we could catch
but how many did we want. Everywhere we
caught all we could eat, and we voted the
mountains of the eastern part of Tulare
County the Mecca Of the disciples OF Izaak Wal
ton. In the way of stocking the woods with
birds the clubs efforts have not been success
full, although quail, dove and grouse are plen-
tiful. Deer and bear are here also, and afford
no little sport. Deer are not so plentiful as
they were few years ago. Through the efforts
of the club in the way of prosecutions for un-
lawful killing of deer, and the constant watch
ings of Game Warden NJ. 1. Weaver, it is ex-
pected that the pleasures from the chase will
be much enhanced in fewyears. Heretofore
game laws have not been enforced in any man
ner ana killing of deer and game birds has
been carried on Unfortunately. These prac-
tices are slowly but surely being stopped now.
Before / close this article must say a word
about trip to Mount Whitney. have been
about in the sierras quite good deal in my
life, and also through some OF the grandest
scenic parts OF the Rockies-for instance, the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado and Southern
Colorado-but for really awful grandeur and
thoroughly beautiful scenery the country
through which one travels TO reach Mount
Whitney from the western side is far in the
lead. The canyon of Big Kern River, from Big
Kern Lake up, is picturesque and grand be-
yond description. The river runs through a
sort of valley, on either side of which rise per-
pendicular granite walls to the height of from
1000 to 1000 feet, forming scenery that in
spires one with awe, even though he has no ap-
probation of natures beauties in general. A
"trip through this wonderful region OF preci-
pices, crags, peaks and extinct volcanoes is well
worth any ones time and trouble.

HANDBALL.
Players Who Are Still Wasting Val
liable Time In Talk.


Handball-players are wondering when
SEINE of the matches that have been talked
of for some weeks Will take definite shape.
No further progress has been made in re-
gard to the match between NJ. J. Kilgallon
and ]. Harlow, the coast champion, for a
consideration and the championship. In
less Kilgallon gets rid OF the idea that he
must play IN all the courts against Harlow
before he would be entitled to the cham
piOnship if he should defeat Harlow the
match will never be played.
No time has been fixed for the match be-
tween Kiigallon and T. F. Bonnet of the
Occidental court, and it is the same with
w. McManus, proprietor of the Union
court. and Phil Ryan, proprietor of the
San Francisco court, for 500 side. Every
preparation for the match had been made
but unfortunately McManus, while play
ing few days ago, struck the wall OF the
court with his right hand instead OF the
ball, and he is now under physician
care. AS soon as his hand is all right
again the match, which will be the best of
nine games of fifteen aces, will be played.
He intends to take the mud baths at the
Geysers for few days to put himself in
good condition.
Harlow about two weeks ago defeated j.
Nelson, a crack player OF the Union court,
alUnOuSn DelnS handicapped. oluCe Iuell
it has been stated that K. Lehman OF the
Union court could defeat Harlow. This
has reused Harlow into asserting himself,
and he has offered to play against both
Lenihan and Nelson. In other words he
viii, single-handed, attempt to defeat these
two, and if necessary will put up money
on the result. Whether Lenihan and Mel
son will accept the challenge remains to
. be seen. Lehman and his partner, Fee
ney, would like match with Harlow and
.Lawless to decide which court has the bet
ter team.
Joe McAuliffe, the prize-fghter who
will be matched to meet Tom Sharkey be-
fore the Colma Athletic Club in Septem-
Der, Is to commence his training by taking
course of handball under the instruction
of Champion Jones of Australia at the San
Francisco court. McAuliffe now weighs
about 270 pounds and expects that his two
weeks course in the handball court with
Jones will reduce him about forty pounds
and at the same time strengthen him.
After that he will go into the regular
course of training.

RIFLE-SHOOTING.
Grand Annual Festival of the Cali
fornla Schuetzen Club.

fornla Schuetzen Club.
Lovers of rihe-shooting, of whom there
are many in this City, will have their
greatest inning of the year next Sunday at
the San Rafael Schuetzen Park. Philo
Jacoby, the veteran marksman and patron
OF all-Tound sports, has the arrangement of
the big annual shooting festival of the Cali
fornia Schuetzen Club in hand, and that
means success in every particular in con-
nectIon with the shoot. Jacoby has for
several weeks past been working like a
beaver in the hope that this festival will
shine far above anything that has been in
troduced on this coast in the way of rife
shooting.
The prizes that are offered are far and
away ahead-that is in point OF grandeur
and merit-of those which were so highly
thought of in past yearly competitions.
Contests at the man rims" and point tar
gets, will, of course, constitute the prin-
cipal events during the tournament, which
will terminate on the 25th inst. All that
is necessary for any lover of rife-shootlng
to become convinced of the value of the
grand prizes that will be shot for and the
good time that awaits all patrons of a
cracking pastime is a glance at the big
programme. The shooting will commence
early on Sunday morning, the 18th inst,
and it is confidently expected that at
least one ton of lead will hatten on the
targets before the last report will bring to
an end the first days shooting OF the great
shooting festival of 1895.

DESMOND'S STRAW BONDS,
They Cause His Arrest on Two Charges
of Perjury and Also of



of Perjury and Also of
Forgery.
John Desmond, alias John Powers, was
arrested last evening on Sixth street by
Detectives Dillon and Crockett, and booked
at the City Prison on two charges of per-
jury and two of forgery. The charges
grew out of his having two weeks ago, as
alleged, forged and swore to two straw-bail
bonds for $4,000 each.
1t appears that in the early part of July
John Fletcher and his wife (the latter
being known as Katie Cooper were ar
rested for swindling all old lady named
Mrs Goode out of $500. They were exam
ined before Judge Conlan and he held them
to answer.
Within a few days Desmond went be-
fore Judge Trout and swore that he
owned the property situated at 1923 Minna
street. He gave the name of John Smith,
and upon the showing made Fletcher's
wife was released on the worthless bond.
Desmond then secured another bond I'M
der the name of John Powers for the re-
lease of Fletcher. He swore that he
owned property worth more than $4,000 on
Tehama street, between Fourth and Fifth,
and that his name was Powers.
AS soon as released the Fletchers fed, it
is supposed, eastward, and the discovery
was made that the bonds were worthless.
The police were notified and they sue
ceeded in running Desmond down on
Sixth street last night. Desmond has
been in trouble before, having served q
two and half years sentence for felony
in the House of Correction some years ago.

W. B. Wiltshire, president of the Wiltshire
Safe Company of San Francisco, arrived at
Catalina Tuesday evening, accompanied by his
daughters, and yesterday went on fishing

Catalina to-day, but was so much pleased with
the sport and the general merits of the place
that he has decided to remain several days
longer.

good catch with their fishing tackle. The
salmon were the marks aimed at, ana, as
will be seen by the accompanying illustra-
ton of one days work, the gentlemen sue
ceeded in making a record. The large fish
weighed thirty eight pounds and the
smaller ones from eight to twelve pounds
each. The three gentlemen have decided
to come to Capitola every year, being en-
thusiastic in regard to the sport to be OBJ
tanned there. All are experts with the rod
and line, and have erected on the bluff
overlooking the ocean fine cottages for the
accommodation of their families.
