The annual trials OF the Pacific Coast
at Bakersfield and throughout the week
the eyes OF the sportsmen throughout
the state will be turned in that direction.
There are already on the grounds some
Of the most noted dogs in this part of
the country, or in the entire country,
for that matter. The drawing for the
Derby was made yesterday and at 10
o'clock this morning the first brace OF
Derby performers will be put down on
the field trial grounds:
Field trials were formerly run under
heat system, similar to that used irf
coursing matches. The various heat
winners were pitted against each other
through the different series and the dog
last in was declared the final winner
of first place. The runner-up took Sec
ond place, and other dogs in a similar
manner took place in the order of their
retirement The heat system was aban-
doned by the Pacific Coast Field Trials
club some. years ago, and resort has
SiiiCC pCcil utiI u Will 40 huOW IL as lIle
"spottlng system" much more salts
factory system of determining the mer-
its of the dogs
Under the "spotting system" the dogs
are drawn In braces only for the first
series. The conduct Of the trials after
the first series Is entirely in the hands of
the Judges. They can order down any
two dogs they please, excluding from
the second series such dogs as they think
have failed in the first series to show
sufficient quality to entitle them to fur
ther consideration While dozen dogs
might run In the first series, it could
happen that only two or three would be
ordered down in the second series.
The whole end and aim of the trial is
to determine the best dog, and in arriv-
Ing at that conclusion the judges have an
unlimited discretion as to the number
and duration of the heatJ.
The field trial ground near Bakersfield
has been carefully preserved since the
opening of the season. Birds are said
TO De plentiful and should such prove the
case the running off of the trials will be
greatly facilitated. None of the dogs
now at Bakersfield will be allowed to
sNA Oh ehS Siop SlOuuQ uutll put QOWn
for actual work in the trials. They have
been given their preliminary work on
similar ground located within a radius
OF fifteen or twenty miles from Bakers
field. In the trials, therefore, all COM
petitors will have an equal chance. The
club motto is, "May the best dog win."
and such is the sentiment which will
follow the dogs in all the excitingraces
OF the coming week.
1t is thought that the Derby will be fin
ished with ease by Tuesday night, in
which event the all-age stake Will be
started Wednesday morning. Should
tho number Of all-age entries come I'D
to expectations the stake Is likely to
last three days. The showing of quality
is strong, and should the competition
prove close in the second series it is
certain that the judges will take ample
time to pick the winners.
The winning dogs in both Derby and
an-age stake will fare better this year
than before. The number of certain
starters is sufficient to insure generous
purses, and. in addition, the decision of
the judges is to determine the ownership
of three handsome trophies.

THE WHEEL .

There Is not much doubt that the
board of public works will report ad-
versely to the petition presented to the
city council some weeks ago, asking that
an ordinance be adopted requiring all
bicycles to be equipped with bells at all
times and with lamps at night. The
wheelmen's organizations nave taken
up the fight against the measure and the
proposed ordinance will die a-bornin'
II they have their way about it. What
they argue is that if the present ordi-
nances which refer to bicycle rid
ing were properly enforced there
would be no necessity for any other
measure They claim that the great body
of wheelmen are not breakers of this
ordinance, but there are some few who
willfully violate all regulations. The
law-abiding wheelmen would willingly
assist in the prosecution of the other
class. and all they want is an impartial
enforcement Of the speed and other or
dinances. There is another measure the
enforcement of which would greatly
benefit all wheelmen and that is the law
against throwing glass, tacks and other
sharp substances into the roadways. It
is unsafe to ride bicycle in certain Dor
tions Of the city because of the ha

ALL OCCURS IN NAVY DEPARTMENT


WASHINGTON. Aug 27-Admiral
Schley came to the Navy Department
quite early, and after call upon Acting
Secretary Allen, emerged from the
main door OF the secretary's Office
His presence had become known and
as soon as he was seen, cheers rent the
air from the clerks who had arsem-
sembled to catch glimpse of
the hero of Santiago. Officers and
clerks from the Navy, State and
War Departments crowded the corri-
dors leading up to the Navy Depart
ment, until 1t was impossible to pass
through. They crowded around the
Admiral eagerly reaching forward to
shake his hands. The lady clerks were
even more demonstrative. The Admiral
was kissed by old and young without
discrimination.
1t was finally necessary to form line
and pass the crowd around through the
large rooms of the secretary's Office in
order to give them chance to shake
hands with the Admiral. Many pro-
minent Army officers took part in the
demonstration.
The Admiral finally escaped into
Captain Crowinshield's office. Admiral
Schlsy will leave Washington this after
noon. He expects to sail for Puerto
Rico next Wednesday, with the military
commission.

COMMITTEE IN EUROPE.
Address the President Concerning the
Philippines and the Continuance
of the Monks There

LONDON, Aug 27.-The Philippine
Island Committee, in Europe, has adj
dressed letter to President Mckinley
regarding the appeals made to him by
high Roman Catholic ecclesiastics In
America to protect the religious orders
10 the islands. The expulsion of the
Friars, the committee contends, is a
necessary precedent. The letter names
particularly the Archbishop of Malaga
and the Bishops of Nueva Sagoyia and
Nueva Caseres, "whose acts of hostility
against both natives and Americans
and against the Jesuiss and other
respected religious institutions, are
condemned by every one.
The committee urges President Nc
Kinley to aid the Filipinos to suppress
the immortality Of the diabolical insti-
tutions fostered by those monks. The
letter concludes as follows: Your
name can never be associated with that
OF Friars; and the sense of right of the
noble nation at whose head you are
placed, will never permit the ever vic
torious and humanitarian Stars and
Stripes to protect them.
