TENNIS.


The mid winter tennis tournament
held on the Casa Blanca courts at Riv-
erside on December 29th and 30th proved
a very great success Notwithstanding
the threatening weather and though
Mondays rain had made the ground
somewhat soft for accurate playing
The result was a confirmation of the
prevailing opinion that o. S. Picher, the
champion of Leland Stanford university
would win. He waSplaying in excellent
form, and the fact that he lost but one
set during the entire play would indicate
that the best man won. His play was
of that even, accurate style which is
certain to bring player to the front in
any company, and coupled with his en-
durance and brilliant strokes made him
an easy winner.
The play began Tuesday with match
between Rowan of Pasadena and Picher
of Stanford, which was won by the lat
ter in three straight sets, though Rowan
showed excellent form at times and
should have won the first set Welcome
and Way played the second match,
which was handily won by Welcome in
straight sets. Picher next met and de-
feated Braly of Lo. Angeles in straight
sets and Rowan then defeated Way
in one, two, three order, Welcome
serving Brady likewise. all the games
having been won straight the entire day.
The second days play began with Pich-
er and Way, which match showed the
only set lost by Picher during the tour
nament. Way seemed to approach his
regular form and only lost the match
after one of the hardest struggles OF the
tournament. Score GA. 4-6. 6-2, 6-2.
Rowan and Welcome had battle royal
at the same time. it being the only five
set match. Welcome won the first two
sets and Rowan the next three The
closing matches for gentlemen We're all
won in straight sets. Rowan defeating
Braly. and Picher defeating Welcome
won the first prize. silver mounted
brushes. and Rowan second prize, a ster-
ling silver souvenir. The chief attrac-
tion of the second days play was the
Santa Monica and Miss Grace Gilliland
of Riverside. Miss Jones clearly delnon-
strated her right to the title of cham
pionship of the coast by defeating her
opponent in three straight sets and at
no time was the issue in doubt. Miss
Gilliand possessed wonderful certainty
of return, but the terrific drives of her
opponent simply We're impossible to re-
turn, and it is doubted if any lady player
in the land could excel her game--cer-
tainly not in base line play.
An account of the tournament Would
be incomplete did it fail to speak of the
| excellence of the arrangements and the
hospitality Of the members of
the Casa Blanca club, who had
spared no pains to give every one a
most enjoyable time. The thar,ks of the
guests are due to Messrs. Bettner. Hal
sted, Chase, West. Duyckinck and other
members of the club.

The London Westminster Gazette
says that phrenology as applied to- horses
is a new and interesting study, and sug-
gegts that the following maxims should
be carefully observed by all lovers and
owners OF horses: Every horse car
ries an index to his temper and intelli-
gence in his face. The teachable,
tractable animal is broad and fiat be-
tween the eyes; the bony ridge of his
face dishes slightly from the point
where the face narrows towards the nos
trils. His ears are we'll set, sensitive
and far apart, with well defined ridge
of bone extending across the top of the
head between them. Always feel for
this ridge In judging a horse. The eye
should be large clear and bright, with
a prominent ridge of bone along the
inner and upper edge of the socket"
Nine sires have during the past year
formers to place themselves upon the
list of sires having twenty-five or more
standard performers TO their credit.
Among the number is Ashland Wilkes,
the sire of the champion of all harness
horses. In addition there Is Stamboul,
2:07h, and Nelson, 200, and the fact is
worthy of more than passing note that
ttese two last named horses are the
first trotters having records of 2:10 and
hotter fyvanfV-6Va standard
performers. The other stations taking
rank among the greatest sires of stand
ard speed the past year are: Elyria,
Elial G.. Atlantic, Hamdallah, Nephew

Willard Fl. Stimson, of Los Angeles,
who gave Del Norte his record of 2:0S.

THE HORSE


The following rules regarding the reg
istration of horses should be read care
fully by all those intending to race at
lnglefide. for Secretary Leake will see
that there are no infractions in future:
In order to provide for the identifica-
ton of every race horse, and to secure
the proper certification of it's pedigree.
1t must be registered with and in the Of
lice of the American Stud Book in the
city of New York by giving its name, if
any, it's sex, color and distinguishing
marks, with the name, If any and pedi-
gree Of both its sire and dam. If the
dam was covered by more than one stall

under this rule. which have either five
uncontaminated thoroughbred crosses,
or which authentically trace only
through and to animals duly recorded in
the first five volumes of the American
Stud Book or in recognized stud book
of another country.
A claim for a name may also be made
to the secretary of the course where a
horse first runs. provided the claim, with
all regis traton fees. is at the same time
forwarded to the stud book for proper
record. No name shall be registered un-
less with a designing numeral, If the

No horse foaled in the United States
since January 1. 1892 and no foreign

racing in New England. 1t has been
notable not alone from the fact that two
superb trotting tracks have been opened
in Massachusetts,. but also from the fact
that two other tracks have added much
to their historic past by securing new
and erviable recordc. 1t is doubtful if
there ever was year when trotting in
this section of the country has interest
ed so large a percentage of the popula-
tion as this season. No doubt a great
deal of interest was created by the con-
slant succession of record breaking
races and miles which fell to the lot OF
New England tracks. The success of
the trotting seaaon speaks we'll for the
enterprise and liberality of her track
managers and the organizations pro-
noting racing within New England s
! borders. The season was never so long
ir. the history of the New England turf
racing commencing in the circuit the
1st of June and continuing until the mid
die of November. The great racing
which this section has enjoyedis Is due in
a great measure to the fact that many
of the leading stables of the west and
middle states have campaigned in New
England during the season, affording
larger fields and faster trotters and pac-
ers than in previous seasons. So far as
