CRICKET CHIRPS.

A Favorable Outlook for the Now
Opening Season.
AT the close of the cricket season in Oc-
tober last there were not wanting the per-
ennial ieremiad in regard to the rapidly ap-
preaching death of the sport in California.
Yet, now as the new season dawns, the
outlook was never more promising. ALI
the clubs have been strengthened with
new blood the grounds, both at Alameda
and Golden Gate, have been put into excel
lent condition. New wickets, well-rolled
outfields, grand stands repaired and re-
splendent in fresh coats of paint-these and
ABOVE all, the greatest enthusiasm on be-
half OF players past present and futures
augur well for banner season.
During the winter an effort was made TO
ascertain the feasibility of sending a rep
resentative team East, but rs far as / could
learn it met with premature death, the
cause OF which was probably internal dis
senslon. 1t is only question of time,
however, when this desirab BILE expedition
Will be arranged and 1t will be a matter of
equal Joy to the Eastern as to our own
clubs.
Following is the schedule of association
matches for the wear.

Mayor Sutro's Plan to Segregatc tn,

Mayor Sutro's Plan to Segregatc the
Roof Contracts Rejected.
The City Hall Commissioners spent sew
eral hours yesterday trying to settle the
question as to whether they will let the
contract for putting new roof on the City
Hall as q whole or in subdivisions, but
finally adjourned without having accom-
plished their object.
Mayor Sutro was in favor of dividing
the work into four subdivisions, one for
copper-work, a second for slate, another
for. brick and terra Gotta work and the
fourth for iron and steel work. Auditor
Broderick opposed this method on the
ground that there was no one person on
whom to fix the responsibility in case of
damage to the interior of the building
while the roof was off. He wanted some
one to give bonds and be responsible for
the entire matter. City and County At.
torney Creswell also voted against the seq
regations when the Mayor moved that his
plan be adopted. and the matter went over
until next Tuesday, when Messrs. Brod-
erick and Creswell will probably vote to
award the contract as whole, and thus
settle the matter.

ChoynSki and Sharkey Are in Good
Trim for Thursday Night.
The National Athletic Club has made
elaborate preparations for its next exhibit
ton of physical culture, which will be
held on Thursday evening at the Peoples
Palace, Mason and Eddy streets.
The star event will be an eight-round
contest between Joe Choynski and Tom
Sharkey. To win the long end of the
golden string Choynski must stop Sharkev
in eight rounds or less-a condition, by the
way, which will guarantee some lively ex-
changes from start to finish.
Sharkey easily disposed of eyery oppo.
nent he has faced in the ring since he took
to pugillsm as a business which, so far
has netted him several hundred dollars in
gold coin.
The fighting seaman is a magnificently
built fellow, whose staying powers are un-
questionably great. Having whipped sew
eral second and third class pugilists with
comparative ease, he at last concluded to
try for a place among the top notchers.
and when Charles ("Parson'') Davies was
visiting this City few weeks ago with
the Sullivan combination, he offered to
match Choynski against Sharkey, and
guaranteed that Choynski to win must
stop his opponent in eight rounds.
Sharkey was already aware of what
Choynski had accomplished, but he had
confidence in his own ability to stand off
the hard-hittinP Joseph for eight rounds
at least.
The match was made and Sharkey went
to his old quarters at the Cliff House.
where he has trained hard and fast ever
since in anticipation of very lively half
hours fun on the evening of the 10th inst.
Choynski arrived last Saturday and. as
he was in tolerably fair condition when he
landed in his native City. he concluded
that all he required to fit him for q sharp

A large gathering of sportsmen is e1-
pected to-day at the Oakland track to wit
ness the second days meeting of the State
Sportsmen's Association. In yesterday

the same gentleman took the third event,

81 watched him straighten out his line,
which was strong enough to hold shark.
He then empaled six large ground worms
on No. hook, and an awkward cast was
made into the pool, which was, guess,
five or six feet in depth.
I'VE did not have to wait long for re-
suits. A three-pounder had taken good
hold of the baited hook, and as it was max
ing off with the prize the rustic angler
struck quickly, and then yanking match
between man and fish followed which
would have made the great and only
Frank Doiliver blush for shame.

the country fellows, was conquered in less

Mr.. Hoffling certainly spoke correctly as
regards the sport that anglers can now en-
Joy near Alvarado, provided, of course,
that the slough will not be made muddy
by heavy rains.

is on the southeast corner of jackson and

Mr.. Hottilng referred to on Thursday last,
and landed eleven large fish which scaled
respectively 2, 3, 81, 4, AZ, IL, IL, 1s4, 3,
and 81 pounds each.
Mr.. Pape states that if he had not been
cleaned out completely by one very large
fish he would have caught more steelheads
than he could possibly carry. What
caused the run OF large fishes into this la
COON no one seems to be in position to
offer an explanation. Mr.. Hoffiing thinks
that the flow of water from the wells into
the slough attracted the game fishes,
which news will, of course, be welcomed
by all local anglers. Several enthusiastic
fishermen from this City will try their
luck in the Alvarado Slough tomorrow.
Stanley Post and companions will leave
this evening for an eel hunt in the bay
near San Pedro. Post is generally success

COURSING.
Grand Meeting Of the Interstate
Club at Newark Park.

Grand Meeting of the Interstate
Club at Newark Park.
Tomorrow morning the members and
numerous friends of the Interstate Cours-
ing Club will journey to the Newark
Coursing Park, where the second grand
club-meeting of the season will be held.
The Interstate Club is composed of the
leading sportsmen of San Fran cisco, Oak
land, San Jose and other cities close by.
1t goes without saying that the gentlemen
OF the club course only for the sport that
is to be derived from this branch of out
door pastimes, and, indeed. had it not
been for the organization of the Interstate
Club the sport of the leash in this State
would eventually become na1seating to
those who have worked hard and faith
fully to make it the sport of gentlemen.
According to a statement which was
published in last Thursdays CALL, the
proprietors of the Ocean View coureing
park said that they concurred in the views
OF Mr.. Holbrook, who is president of the
Humane Society, that coursing is a cruel
and brutal sport
The nominations and drawing for the
Newark Park meeting were published in
yesterdays CALL and as the dogs owned
by the members are of good quality and
high breeding an excellent days racing
may be expected by the several ladies and
gentlemen who will witness the rounds.
Newark hares have been always noted
for their running qualities, therefore all
that is necessary to guarantee an excellent
days outing is fine weather.
An unually high-class lot of dogs are en-
tered for to.morrow's coursing at Casserly
d Kerrigan's Ocean View Park and with
good weather fine days sport should re-
suit Among the entries are Captain
Morse, Electric, Lord Clifton. Nellie and
other well-known flers.
A large number of hares that have been
resting in the reserves will be turned out
and should give the dogs plenty of work
to catch them. The result OF the drawing
will appear in to-morrow's CALL.

New VentiIators for the School

The School Board has placed a new
system Of vehtilators in the public
school building. by adopting the
Cutter system, which lets the foul air
out at the bottom instead Of the top of
the room and allows it to escape at the
top Of the building.
Under the old system the ventilstors
we're placed opposite each other at the
top of the room. This caused Il cold
current Of air to pass through the
building but it took very little of the
foul air with it.
The new system draws the warm air
down, carries it along the floor and up
and out in flnes between the walls. 1t
brings the warm air down by the
childrens feet, in a ~ay that they will
appreciate. Tie new system is highly
recommended by physicians and it

A Pathetic Pcem.

Years ago the |. o. .. +. Lodge IN
MAJ kleville, California, IVES in a flourish
ing condition. Now D. r. Hawkins is
the only survivor.
A few weeks ago he went into the Hall
and after storing away the regalia and
books, declared the Lodge closed forever.
As he sat there in the solitude OF the dimly
lighted place he penned the following pa
thetic lines, lines that came from his heart
and which will appeal to every member of
the Order who reads them. One could
hardly imagine a poem to be written un-
der more peculiar circumstance than
these. The following letter accompanies
the poem.
Carson City, Nevada, Oct, 2I, 1896.
EDIToR MORNING APPEAL:-Iester-
day Mr.. d. R. Hawkins, of Marklevi!le,
called on me professionally. Before leav-
ing my Office he odd me that he had, d
few days previously, performed a very Sd
duty. His story ran about as follows. VIZ:
That years ago there was a prosperous
lodge of l. 0. 0. F., having a member
ship of (f l remember correctly eighty
three, at Markleville, Alpine County, Cal
| ifornia, of which he had been a member
during its entire existence. The mining
interests having completely failed in that
vicinity years ago, the town went down
from i thriving ana prosperous camp to a
very few families. The Lodge kept COM
pany with the town in its decadence till
the actual membership consisted of the
Hon. Cyrus Coleman and himself for the
last five years. There were three other
direlict members who have failed to keep
up their dues tor the above stated period of
time, but he and Mr.. Coleman have paid
them in order that they might retain a
quorem. The other day Mr.. Coleman
died, and Mr.. Hawkins, who has been
several months, repaired to Markleville to
attend the funeral of the deceased. While
there he fixed up the books of the Lodge,
made out a report of the sarne and for
warded it to the Grand Lodge.
He attended to those duties in the lodge
room and after writing the enclosed walk
ed out alone, the last surviving member of
his Lodge.

We pass beyond the Unknown shore.
Like goodly tree, so stout and tall
Its branches ran out DER the wall
By blight of time and sore decay

That only on the parent stem
One broken stub remains of them
So has my Lodge gone to decay
And left but me alone TODAY.
