CITY TROPHY MATCHES.
Guardsmen Want State Regiments to
Compete for the Centennial Prize
Hereafter.

Colonel Henry Shaw's appeal to the
Board of Supervisors for an order requir-
ing revival of rifle competitions among
National Guardsmen for the Centennial
trophy or the return of the prize to the
City has aroused considera BILE interest in
military circles. The trophy to which
Colonel Shaw made reference was for years
IN the p ossession of the First Regiment of
Infantry and was kept or exhibition in the
officers quarters of the regimental' armory
on Market and Tenth streets. 1t still re-
mains in the charge of the new regiment,
AMI Colonel Shaw's demand for some
proper disposition of it will very probab bly,
bothered the new officers of the guard ever
since the recent reorganization.
Since the trophy was last won by team
from the First Infantry, and it was good
many years ago, it has been left to gather
dust and gradually become rather dirty
looking sample of silver plate, and
nobody has ever seemed to know what to
do with 1t. The officers of the old First
Regiment simply held it because no one
was anxious to win it from them. On the
several occasions on which it was shot for,
the First Infantry team was always victo-
rious. This regiment had the best marks
men and led easily in all of the COMPETE
TONS
Finally the other regiments decided
that IL was useless task to spend time
and money preparing rifemen for con-
tests in which they had no chance of
success. Enthusiasm waned very quickly
and the City's big silver gift was laid away
and forgotten.
A few years ago vigorous demand was
made that competitions between the regl-
ments be revived. Colonel Sullivan, then
commanding the First Regiment, an
nounced his willingness to enter team
With the other regiments. The affair was
widely discussed but nothing ever came
OF 1t, and the First held on to the trophy.
The officers of the new regiment and
officers in the service generally are puzzled
to Imagine what the Board of Supervisors
may do about it. The trophy was given
by the City to be competed for annually
by teams from the several local regiments
Now there is but one regiment and there
cannot well be any more regimental con-
tests here.
The National Guardsmen are not en-
tirely willing to lose the trophy, and there
is talk among a large number of the Off
GERS OF asking the Supervisors to permit
annual matches between all of the State
regiments or between teams representing
each of the three brigades. This Will very
likely be the suggestion offered, as it is al
ready intended to establish rife associa-
ton, and the trophy can be made the chief
award for champion craftsmanship.
The Centennial trophy is a massive affair
OF solid silver. 1t consists of large cir
cular disk, supported by central column
lavishly ornamented with flags, stands of
arms, statuettes, targets and other things
emblematic OF range ri6e-fring. The cost
of ii was $500.

GOSSIP OF THE TURF,
Six Well-Filled Events and a
Match Race at Ingleside
To-Day.
Wednesday, the Concluding Day of the
Meeting, Will Be Ladies' Day.
News Items.

From present indications the members
of the bangtail division will have muddy
track to race over the last three days of
the 1ngleside meeting. The rain has
seriously interfered with fast work and the
majority of the cracks have been enjoying
rest, niDbIng hay in their stalls. To
present racing card to the public that
will please the eye of the critics under the
present climatic changes is not relish
able task. However, the card offered by
the management of 1ngleside track for the
inspection of the public to-day is far above
the average, in fact one of the best of the
meeting. AS an extra attraction, outside
of the regular six well-filled events, there
will be match race at half mile between
Walter Hobart's pony Gold Coin, ridden
by George Miller, and J. Talbot Clifton's
Jessie Sturgill with Sam Doggett in the
saddle.
A considerable amount of money is wa
gered on the result, and as both gentlemen
are well known in society circles their
friends will make it hot betting affair.
Mr.. Clifton's betting propensitIes are well
known, and 1t is said he will be prepared
to bet chunk on his horse.
During the rainy evenings the horsemen
busy themselves in the down town hotels
playing billiards and whist or chatting in
the corridors about the fast workout of
this or that youngster, who is as yet
" under cover" Walter Hobart's Coupon,
who has won both of the two.year-old
events in such impressive style, is the SUBJ
iect of much discussion.
Many claim that he is another Crescendo
and that he will go down the line, while
others quietly remark: await until he
bumps up against some of the good ones"
1t does seem trifle early to rank him a
stake colt, for the ones that finished be-
hind him were very ordinary lot. a

flag in the near future, and John Robbins
and Burns 81 Waterhouse are said to have
some Waterbury breakers" And then
again Coupon may only be the advance
guard of what Mr. Hobart has in mis-
stable. Tom Boyle, who handles the
string OF Mr.. Spreckels, only smiles when
asked If he has any good ones.
At any rate, it will not be long before
the dead Martenhurst's son has a chance
to show whether he is made of the right

contentedly to nibbling grass inside and
out OF their reach.
st. Lawrence and Lord Clifton, two blue
blooded dogs imported from the East by
Martin Kerrigan some time ago, were in
the all-age stake, but owing to lack of con-
dition and the fact that they both met fast
and clever dogs, both were put out IN the
rundown.
The betting was more even than usual
and consequently heavy. Captain Morse
placed another stake to his owners credit
by winning from Hercules, young dog
that shows wonderful speed, but great
lack of judgment, owing to the fact that
he has had very little experience with the
hares. With little more age and practice
he will make the best of them hustle to
win.
