the club to witness the presenta tion of the

sick, the General was in attendance and
was keen spectator OF the games. Presi-

address eulogizing the General, whom he
termed the greatest lover and patron of
amateur sports in America.
Mr.. Mccormick then pinned the first
medal on Richard Linehan, the great
overland swiper. The second medal was
given 10 AL Collins, the third to William
Collins and the fourth to William O. Con-
nor. Each of the winners made short but
appropriate speeches, and the meeting ad-
jpurned with three cheers and a tiger for

In a letter to General Forsyth General
Miias saws:

AS hIgh-power guns are being erected at
Lime Point, on the north side OF the Golden
Gate, and additional ba tteries of modern guns
and Inortars are soon to be erected there, it is
important that there be strong garrison on
that side OF the harbor which l call the Glib
raltar OF the Pacific Coast.
Angel Island is the right flank Of the second
line OF defense, and will be the most impor tan t
artillery station in the harbor. Its armament
will be at least eight high-power guns of a
modern character. The Presidio is not a
heavy artillery post, though there are two
batteries there for its protection and Tor man
ming the batteries on the south side OF the
Golden Gate. But the Preside is a grand
reservation for the Pacific Coast, and its garri-
son of heavy artillery, light batteries and bat
talon of cavalry, and in time a regiment of
in antry, shou d be available Tor any purposes
OF regular troops.
The field sports at the Presidio will be-
come one of the fea lures of that beautiful
spot and will no doubt enlist the interest
OF the citizens. Some time in March there
wilt be a grand field day in which there
will be con estants from every post in the
department. of California. The points
from which the men will come will be
Angel Island, AIcatraz. Benicia Barracks,
