to McNear'S To-
Night,


The secretary of the Encinal Yacht
Club has notified the Corinthians of the
receival OF their challenge. No action will
be taken until the board of directors meet

The interest in small boats is on the in
crease, as is shown by the late additions
to the Corinthlan feet.
f. E. Baker is having a cat-yawl built
by Wilson from designs that appeared in
the Rudder. She will be % feet over all
and Is feet load water line. She has an
up-to-date appearance and should develop
great speed.
Charles BarIage is having a boat SINH
lar to Bakers built. She will be cat
rugged and will be 10 feet over all. When
completed she will be called the Dread
naught.
As the new boats will be finished in
time for the next regatta good race will
surely take place among these half.raters.
The Chispa set sail for Benicia last
week. Ex-Commodore Cutie has had her
on Turner's ways, where she was thor
oughly overhauled and put in frst-cla
shape for the season.
In the opening cruise last Sunday the
Amigo was very much admired by yachts
men. The shifting of her mast two feet
and six inches has improved the boat won
derfully. She showed great speed and
will surely give the other thirty footers q
close race in the coming regattas.
Tonight all the Corinthian boats will
cruise to McNears'. This is practically
the first cruise of the season and a large
number OF boats are expected to CO.
Peter Dean has again chartered the
Frolic for the season. The boat has I'M
dergone extensive alterations, and she

ing and some impromptu races are talked
uf. The lovers of gun and rod are having
enjoyment in their respective lines of
sport. Coursing, rife-shooting, tennis,

POISON FOR PETS.
A Mysterious Woman Has Declared
War Against Dogs and Cats.

The police, as we'll as the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, are on
the lookout for some iend in the neigh
borhood of Baker and Folsom streets who
has been spreading poison for the extinc-
ton of dogs.
The neighborhood is one of private
homes, and the residents nearly all have
pet dogs. Last year about this time a
Great Dane and two hunting dogs were
poisoned, and heavy rewards were offered
for the capture and conviction of the
poisoner. The latter, however. disap-
peared until week ago, when a dozen or
more dogs and cats were taken violently
ill. and were only saved from death by
remedies promptly applied.
The belief is that a mysterious woman
seen skulking about the neighborhood
some time ago threw poisoned meat into
the back yards of the different houses.
