COURS|NG At OCEAN VIEW
Dublin Stout Won the Twenty
Four Dog Stake From
FirenZi.
Tom Hayes Beat Lady Fitzgerald in a
Match Race-The Talent
at Fault.

Beautiful weather and a card full of first
class dogs combined to draw an unusually
large crowd of coursing men to Casserly
& Kerrigan's Ocean View Park yesterday
and the quality of the sport fully justified
the expectations OF the leashmen.
In the main the hares were flyers and
gave the hounds hard runs to catch them,
many leading the way to the escapes and
going free into the paddocks. The ludg-
ment of the talent was far from good in
some of the races, notably the final of the
twenty-fcur dog stake when Firenzi, after
beating Foxhall, Tricks, San Joaquin and
Happy Jack, went down before Dublin

A GREAT ST. BERNARD.
Berna Is Young Yet, but Stands
Thirty-Three Inches Above
Ground.
E. P. Scheel, the Owner, Will Exhibit
Her in Los Angeles, Oakland
and Seattle.

E. P. Scheel, who lives at the corner of
Clay and Walnut streets, is the lucky pos
SCISSOR of the largest female St. Bernard in
the country. At least, so that gentleman
claims.
Mr.. Scheel, being man of means, is
enabled to indulge his fad to the utter
most and has a large number of dogs of
various breeds, many of them being well
known to the local sportsmen. Among
them are Lady Delight, the mother, and
Lady Gladys, the grandmother of the dog
in question. But the pride of the gentle
mans kennel is Berna, the st. Bernard he
thinks will take all the prizes at the COM
ing dog shows for which she will be en-.
tered.
Berna is but IS months old and far from
the stopping point in growth and develop
mept, yet she has already attained a
height of 33 inches. This is Just one
inch taller than Princess Florence, the
celebrated Eastern dog which has carried
off all the prizes heretofore. Her bones
and skull are larger than Princess Flo
rence's and she has greater girth round
the loins. Princess Florence's wei ht is
$50 pounds, that OF Berna but 1855; yet it
seems certain that with this superiority in
framework and her youth taken into con-

Anglers Display Their Skill With
Rod and Line on Stow Lake
in the Park.
THE SUTRO BATHS CROWDED.
New Target for Anglers-Attractions
at the Museum = A Balloon
Goes Up in Smoke.

The western bank of Stow Lake IN
Golden Gate Park was lined from o'clock
yesterday morning until noon by anglers,
who practiced casting flies so as to put
themselves in trim for the sport OF trout
fishing when the season opens in few
days.
There were a mum Der who are recognized
as experts at long-distance casting, and
many who would be willing to consider
themselves such. The casting that was re-
corded by W. A. L. Miller and Horace
Smythe, the judges, was north of a small
wharf, while south of it were number Of
buoys for the use of those who were not
entered with the cracks" These were
active and made many good casts, showing
considerable proficiency with rod, line and
reel
Those who were casting for record
showed much ability in handling the trout
bait, and the following is the score Mans
field, II; Allen, 10; Golcher, "a; Kline, 81; /;
Young, II; Saunders, So; Peterson, "a. and
Haight, 72.
scored 81 and Crowell rs; at 45 feet Crow
ell scored 95 and Finch SO.
For the first time new target was put
in operation. 1t is the invention of W. A.
L. Miller, and consists of a ball buoy
which may be sunk at any desired dis
tance. Affixed 10 this by four wires is
rattan ring twenty-four inches in diam
eter. and ten inches outside of that is an
other rattan ring fortythree inches in
diameter. This is attached to the inner
ring and is held up by number OF corks.
This target is sunk TO certain depth, so
that when the fly reaches it it will not be-
come entangled in the rattan. The idea
of this target is to enable the judges to de-
termine with more accuracy the points
made. Ii the fly strikes within the outer
circle it counts 9and within the inner one
it scores 10. Both rings when under the
water are plainly visible to the judges.
Arrangements are being made to have
future long-distance casting tournaments
in the large tank of the Sutro baths.
During the afternoon the park was
crowded with people, the fine weather
having drawn them out. There was
large turnout of vehicles, while cyclers
were out in full force. 'It is noticeable
fact" said one OF the park officers, "that
while there is very large number of
cvclers in the park to-day, about 80 per
cent of the riders are new ones. 1t has
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-30

been so for six weeks. This is accounted
for by the fact that the new ones are the
contingent OF '96, which is very large, and
that the old riders will turn out in full
force in a few weeks. Aside from this,
large NUM- ber of the old riders are now GO
ing out on the country roads for long
runs"
There were quite number Of contribu-
tions to the park museum last week. J. A.
Heifer presented 143 coins. Specimens of
coral were donated by Leong Lam, the
first Chinese contributor. Lam had charge
of the Chinese exhibit at the Midwinter
Fair. DR.. T. r. ,Grindley presented an
oldtime porcelain plate. George w.
Williams presented an old-time revolver,
of the Adams pattern. Mrs. BIanco Paul
son, sister of +. W. Dohrmann, presented a
piece of cancer wood, a very fine specimen.
Mr.. Bardnell has added number OF inter-
esting and curious articles to his collection.
Captain Thomson OF the Park police has
in his possession fine fur cape that was
found in the park week ago.
The Sutro line was well patronized yes
terday, every car being packed with peo-
pie bound for the western shore. The COM
pany is having new cars built to accommo-
date the traffic.
The Sutro baths were crowded all day,

This Week-The Record of

The proba bility that there will be re-
duction in taxes this year of about one-half
per cent, combined with decreased insur-
ance rates, will undoubtedly have some
considerable effect on the real estate mar
ket A prominent broker, interviewed on
this subject last week, said: THE present
ruling rate at the savings banks for good
loans is 6116 per cent. A reduction of one
half per cent in taxes would inevitably
cause reduction in the interest rate on
loans of a like amount. This would, in
turn, make it necessary for the banks to
reduce the rate of interest paid on de-
posits, in which case many depositors
would be very likely TO invest their money
