HEAVY STAKES
 FOR THE GREYH0UNDS.

The dissension disturbing the Interstate CCursing Club appears to have had little effect on the sport itself. To-day's stake a. Irgleside Is the biggest of it's class ever hung up and embraces d htgh class entry of no less than fifty performers. Most of them are flyers of well known quality, but one or two are making their first appearance. The sport, in corse- quence. bids fair to develop something sensational. The running beglus to-day at D. m, and tomorrow at II a. m.
 The added money to-day CS25O Is the biggest amount ever hung up in a stake of this class on the coast. The aggre- gate purse amounts to $375; the winner of first renewing no less than S125.
 Kay & Trant are running their entire string to-day, and among them Carlotta Is making her coast debut. Carlotta is one of the famous Robinson stTiEP brought out from St. Louis early last summer. Diamond Dick, Big Buck ard Nelly Daley are also strangers to the general coursing public.
 Billy Murphy, the well-known train CT, mas taken up quarters in Los Angeles,
 The drawing at Delta Hall Thursday evening was the best attended for many months. The candidates entered, too. might have been largely increased had 1t been possible to run off q greater num- Der in the time allowed.
 Henry Spring of San Jose was up dur days stake with Pat Malloy. Evidently Santa Clara County like San Francisco. is out for the sport whatever may be the petty questions occasionally arising
 The likeliest looking candidates for to- days run down are Lass O Gowrie Susie, Pat Malloy. Nigilant, Seminole, Sly Boy Myrtle, Diana, Fireman, GranuaIe, Vic tor Moondyne, Leonora Flrebau, Tod Sloan, Fleetwood, Count of Monte Cristo. Duke of OakgroVe, Carlotta, Black Prince. Sylvia. Connemara, Counterfeit, St Lawrence and Sky ball.
 Communications have been received at this office directed to the sporting editor but as the writers omitted their names. their letters cannot. consequently, be given due notice in this department.

MESSENGERS CAME
 TO THE RESCUE
A Fair and Related Western Union Operator Who
 Was Insulted.
Three Gallant Boys Thrashed the Ruffan and Drove
 Him Away.

Three messenger boys who work In the Western Union Telegraph office on Market street, under the Grand Hotel. performed a gallant act few nights ago. when they drubbed a rufffan who had insulted lady at the crossing op- posite the office.
 The victim of the insult is herself a Western Union operator, and was on her way to take the last Valencia street car when accosted by the man. Fear ing for her safety she went to the office opposite Montgomery street, and asked the service of a messenger to escort her to her car.
 After she had left the office with the boy the other attaches learned of the difficulty, and three of the youngsters. none over 16 years of age. started out to investigate. They found the lOafer standing on the corner, and promptly attacked him. Finding himself out numbered, the fellow took to his heels and ran down Second street to Mission, where he was overtaken by the three messengers and hammered into a state of complete subjectiOn.
 The boys modestly decline to tell any thing of their adventure as knight CT rants, except by significant winks, and the fair operator has not been bothered since.

ROWING CLUBS
 PREPARE FOR REGAT'TAS.

The outlook for rowing has never been brighter. At the last meeting ot the South Ends the following new ohcers were installed: President, Edward Scully; vice-president John D. Mahoney; Secre- tary, James P. Foley; financial secretary, Matt J. Breen; treasurer, Joseph O' Lay; captain. William Thomas; vice-capta1n' Alex McGeorge:. collector, George G. Fox; board of trustees-Joseph Foley, William Barry, William Mead, Dr. c. c. Dennis and Joseph Lyons; sergeant-at-arms, James Pallas.
 The cold weather has little effect in keeping the South End members away from the clubhouse. Last Sunday morn- ing over thirty-five members rowed away from the boathouse in barges, sk1ffs ana shells.
 A crew, composed of Joe Lyons, T. l. Fitzpatrick, George Fox and James Fee nan, rowed over to the Dolphin boat house, and on the return home they en- countered rough water and a strong tlde, which made things lively and interesting.
 The South Ends new handball court will be attractive addition to the club: Although unfinished, it gives signs or surpasSing any court in this city. Such experts as James C. Nealon, Jack Bonnet, Al Hampton and James McElroy have set the stamp of their approval on It by otter- ing their names for membership, and they will undoubtedly be voted in at the next meeting.
 The Dolphins' pretty and commodious boathouse no longer rests on water, as Contractor Sullivan moved 1t back sixty feet, and it makes an attractive picture sheltered by trees and shrubbery.
 The DOlphins will open their season next month, when Pape and Patch VII compete in the last race of the series Tor the clubs diamond medal. Patch sue ceeded in carrying it off once, while Tape has won 1t twice.
 On the same day the club will inaug.. urate a race among the junior oarsmen or the club. the winner to receive a goId medal offered by Judge Treadwell; 10 become it's possessor, it will have to DC won three times.

HERMAN CONVENTION TO-DAY
The "Boord of Erip" Will Probably
 Be Allowed to Die.

At Vallejo to-day will be held special State convention of the A. O. H. Board of Erin. The main object of the meeting will be to consider the report of com mittee appointed to formulate a plan for amalgamation of the organization with the A. O. H. of America.
 The Ancient Order of Hibernians' Board of Erin, as the order Is styled, is open for membership only to people born in Ireland, and 1t goes without saying that in time it would naturally die out anyway. Furthermore. there is a grow ing feeling in the membership that the order is un-American and it is thought to be time for it's dlscontinuance.
 The plan of amalgamation above re- ferred to is the suggestion of Bishop McSaul of Trenton, N. J., to whom the organization appealed for advice in its quandary. It is thought that the propo- sition will be readily accepted by the delegates to all the State conventions of the order and that the union with the larger and more powerful organization will be effected without serious oppoSi- tlOQ.

 Over Circular Track-t

fishes are on the run, the spoon, the bait ed hook or. in fact. the naked fly will be acceptable to the new arrivals that have not felt the prick of the sharp steel nor have seen the anglers who flash wild and woolly whiskers when excited.
 John Gallagher. the champion angler of Oakland. and some friends are located near Russian River Cottage. The troll lers have not enjoyed very good sport during the week, as the river has been closed and the fish consequently had to remain in the ocean, where seals have congregated in great numbers during the past month.
 If the weather remains fine. the anglers who will fish on the river tomorrow should certainly meet with grand success.

long-term concession for working the
coal and other mines of the chinese
province of Shan-Sl, building railroads
there and in general developing the
province. That Is all, II might mean
much or little. II does mean one OF
the greatest strokes OF business this
generation has seen. Its bearings UP
on the future OF China. and the BRUSH
empire. and all trade and Industry IN
that half of the world, are simply IN
calculablc.
The coal fields of shan-si are among
the most important In the world. They
cover an area OF more than fourteen
thousand square miles, and are esti-
mated TO contain enough coal to sup
ply the entire world, at the present rate
Of consumption, for two thousand years
or more. a large proportion of II Is
anthracite, equal in quality to the best
found In Pennsylvania. OF IT there are
believed to be ut least six hundred and
thirty billion tons, or more than twelve
times as much as all the coal of all
kinds now mined In the whole world IN
n year. there is also nearly as much
butumlnous coal. Of "A fine coklnG quail

tageous combination than this. when
to II are added the practically llmitless
wealth, energy and skill of Great Brit
ain. There Is In 1t promise of profits
that will make the Klondlke seem poor.
There is in II potency of Industrial
revolution in all the Eastern. Hemls-
