The Garden CITY Cyclers' minstrel en-
tertainment will be held Friday evening,
January %. The date heretofore men,
toned was an error.
1t is reported that Eddie Bald will sign
to ride for the same people next year as
he did in 1896. He will come to California
the latter part of February. Bald has
found this profitable winter season. He
laid by 1915 during a weeks racing at
New York, evenings. and will probably do
as we'll at Washington. He is said to have
cleared $12500 during the year. Jay
Eaton made $3.50 during the week at Madi-
son Square Garden, bringing hislwin nings
for the year up to 5000. This was made
for the most part in indoor racing. The
receipts at the Garden for the week were
$37, 000, and the expenses hardly one-third
of that amount.
1t was happy thought which prompted
President A. P. Swain of the California
Associated Cycling Clubs to appoint as
chairman of the road racing and records
committee of the association Charles Al
bert Adams, president of the Olympic
CLUB Wheelmen and the Camera CLUB
Cyclists. Mr.. Adams has long been prom
inently identified with the sport here and
is looked upon as one of its leaders. The
office to which he has been appointed is
one that requires considerable executive
ability and good judgment, and the gen.
eral opinion among the club wheelmen is
that President Swain could have made no
better selection than he did. Among his
club mates in the Olympic and Camera
clubs Mr.. Adams is very popular, and at
at the annual Olympic Wheelmen's cleo
ton next month he is sure of reelection
unanimously to the presidency.

Gift of a Battle-Ship.

The gift of the State of Massachusetts to
the battie-ship which bears her name is
not the familiar silver service, but a
bronze statue Of Victory, six feet high
and holding sword in both hands. The
statue has been affixed to the forward
turret, where it will be conspicuous. Some
naval officers are of the opinion that a
silver service is handler remembrance to
have aboard warship than bronze
image. The position of the statue is cues
toned also, and it is not unanimously
conceded that the turret forms suitable
pedestal for it. Naval Constructor Bowles
approves both the statue and its setting.
and makes the very opposite point that
the statue, placed as it is, will always be
in view of the crew, whereas a silver
service would not. No life-preserver or
defensive armor has been prepared for the
Victory. 1t is intended that she shall
take the chances of battle and marine
mishap and go with the ship.-Harper' 5
Weekly.

this move having been made necessary
by so large a number coming down from

THEIR PLACE OF DEBATE,
Agreement Between Stanford
and the U. C. Will Expire
Next Month.
Stanford Wants to Speak in San J Sc
Part Of the Time, but the
Berkeleyans Object.

Between the orators of the University
of California and the Stanford University
there is q radical difference OF opinion
upon topic of considerable interest to
them. The old agreement between the
two universities concerning the inter-
collegiate debates, as they are called, will
xpire by Limitation next month. The
belief is quite common that when new
agreement is in process of formation
Stanford will insist on some new condi-
tions.
Students at Berkeley have been In
formed that Stanford is of the opinion that
hereafter some of the debates should be
held at San Jose, alternating with San
Francisco. The ground for the opinion
is that the influence of the University of
California is very strong in San Francisco
and, while this does notimply that jud ges
selected in San Francisco would decide
otherwise than according to the merits OF
the debate, the advantage of having an
entirely friendly audience is worth con-
sidering. The warmth of such an au-
dience wards off any freshness which
might be felt by the orators.
The Berkeley students prefer to have
the debates take place in San Francisco as
heretofore. They say that there is a
StrOnB OlanlOru COntln &c nj IN San FRA n
cisco, but that there is hardly any follow
ing, comparatively speaking, of the Uni
versity OF California at San Jose. Pro-
pinquity causes local enthusiasm, and
Stanford is very near to San Jose.
The Stanford paper. the Palo Alto, has
uttered some criticisms concerning GER
tain judges of oratory who have served in
the Intercollegiate debates in this City de-
gliding concerning the relative oratorical
merits of the two institutions of learning
and has CALLED Berkleyans little by in
rimating that 1.-The parting of the hair"
has influenced some who have sat TO
award the victory.
During this controyersary, which is
liable to be under full Roadway next
month, the public will have a chance to
judge of the power of the disputants in a
matter which concerns themselves. Very
likely some budding attorneys will first
recommend their abilities to their friends
in this way and latent talents will be
stlm lated in verbal war.
One feature of the controversy is the
claim OF the Berkeleyans that they have,
by consenting to hold the debates on the
evenings of the annual intercollegiate
field days in this City, given the Stanford
students chance to be fully represented,
for all Stanford is in town that nignt.
More than this, it is urged at Berkeley
that really the selection of these dates
has been disadvantage to the Berkeley
orators. whose attention is much engaged
about the time of the intercoli ee late field
days in the work attendant upon exam
nations, in which Stanford has a gain.
The orators will argue this matter out
and much eloquence will be exhibited.

Weather permitting, the lovers of wheel
Ing will be well represented tomorrow on
the roads leading into Oakland and Ala
media. Several runs are announced and
doubtless the cyclists will take advantage
of the present spell of fine weather to take
a constitutional.
Football is booming. Notwithstanding
that the beautiful players of Butte gave
the Olympic lads a good druobing yester-
day, the home team is sanguine OF turn
ing the tables on the invaders New Year s

Anglers are wondering when they viii
have an opportunity to catch some of the
steeIheads, which are a little behind time
this year on their run to spawning
grounds.
Good duck-shooting is reported from the
Alviso marshes, where birds are very
plentiful now. In case the weather re-
mains fine sportsmen who fancy quail
shooting should meet with success to-
morrow. Lovers of rihe-shooting, hand
ball, coursing and Kindred pastimes are
having hrst-class sport.

An American traveller in the island of

arrack (Java rum). one-half gallon of
which is reckoned equal to one days

Papuan enters home every occupation is
dropped, and the family devotes all its at
tention with enthusiastic energy to its
consumption.
Their efforts never flag while the rum
lasts or strength remains. The resulting
sfupefaclion lasts for days, but on recov-
cry the family cheerfullv proceeds by per-
severlng industry to acquire the means of

THE ANGLER.
Rivers That Are Rapidly GettInl
Into Condition for Fishing.

Angling for steelheads is now in order.
The sport should be good up to the time
of the opening of the trout-fishing season,
which is April /. Last Sunday there were
many fishermen at Point Reyes, but the
fishes that they longed for never came.
The water was very cloudy and as a con-
sequence the salmon roeists retired disap-
pointed and Disguised.
January and February are always the
star months of the year at Point Reyes
and Duncan's Mill and if the weather is
not too moist" anglers can safely count
upon having some good sport steeihead-
ing. The only gentleman who held the
lucky wand last Sunday was Colonel
Cooper of The postotiice He caught two
nice fish that scaled respectively two
pounds and half pound.
The Sunday fishermen who landed more
water than fishes were George Walker,
Frank and George McGreggor, steve Rior-
dan, Louis Rondeau, Chaplain Terry, P.
Dugan, Judge Evans, Frank Jones, Billy
Edwards, John Nolan and f. Cohen.
Otto Bransdorff and his dog Dickey
were the observed of all observers. Brans-

will be asked to keep a respectable dis
lance from the river in the future, which
request he will doubtless grant the lovers
OF angling, as he is a most obliging fellow.
At Larkspur Senator Sid Hall caught
three pound steelhead. Louis Miller,
"Rod" Mcmillan, Billy Shad, Sergeant
Shields and Corporal Parrot fished on the
east side of the Bath House, but failed
to connect with a fish OF larger proper
tons than "a cat" They will try their
luck again, however.
Bill Cooney was prospecting for steel
heads in the Novato slough, near Ferris
residence, and meeting with no encour-
agement, he sought a mushroom field and
returned home with beautiful basket of
fungi.

Santa Claras to Meet the San Fran
cisco Athletic Team.
The Santa Clara team will be out in
force TO do what is expected of them to-
morrow at Central Park. Their team is
made up exclusively of college boys who
have put in much time practicing and who
will be IN hrst-class condition 10 give a
warm reception to the boys who represent
the San Francisco Athletic Club. A few
of them played some professional ball last
summer, but it was only as favor to help
out San Jose for a few games.
The San Francisco club is a little anx-
ious ABOUT it and hope to get one or more
thrown out, but when it comes to- a
showdown" 1t will be found they are not
cutters if they do get the worst OF the
deal. 1t has been the hope of those in
charge that no professionals would be
brought1nto the tournament and that each
team would realize that there are lots of
good players in their class anxious to
play and that they would take advantage
OF it. If the San Franciscos put up the
game they did last Sunday against the
Alerts it is safe to say they will not have

the blackboard. Below Is the line-up:

Huxley's Wife.

When the Rattlesnake was in Sydney
harbor. the officers were invited to q
ball. and young Huxley among the
number. There for the first time he
met his future wife, whose parents re-
sided at Sydney. A few days after they
were engaged, and the ship sailed for
the Tower straits to complete the survey
of the north coast of Australia, all com
munication being cut off for months at
time, and then she returned direct to
England. After that brief acquaintance
mot, / believe, longer than fortnight)
it was seven years before the lovers saw
one another. At the end Of this time,
on Huxley's appointment to the School
OF Mines. he was in position to claim
his bride and welcome her to their first
home in st. Johns Wood. He often
used to say that to engage the affections
OF young girl under these circun-
stances, knowing that he would have to
leave her for an indefinite time, and
with only the remotest prospect Of ever
marrying, was an act most strongly to
be reprobated. and he often held it out
as warning to his children never to do
anything of the kind, and yet they all
married young and all happily.
Huxley's love ut first sight and con-
stancy during those seven long years Of
separation were richly rewarded, for it
is impossible to imagine a pair more
thoroughly suited. - North American
