will make another attempt at lowering
records tomorrow on the Elmhurst track.
About a month ago Fuller made some rec

will try to lower some of his own exist

able to negotiate. He will try for all dis
tances up to five miles, tandem paced, and

LAST DAYS OF THE
SEASON FOR YACHTING

Commodore DR.. T. l.. Hill has issued
a postal card to the members of the
San Francisco Yacht Club, announcing
the postponement of the minstrel per-
Torrance which was to have been given
at the clubhouse at Sausalito on Octo-
Der 80 for the benefit of the club The
postponement was rendered necessary by
the political engagements of several of
those who had promised their services,
by the Good Roads parade and other
counter attractions. The yachting \sea-
son will therefore, end to-day, and the
closing cruise will be taken tomorrow.
A starting gun will be fired at 11:15 a.
M, and further signals will be given from
the flagship. On Sunday, October 30,
Commodore Hill will sail the sloop Cyg,
nus to the Corte MADEIRA creek and lay
her UP for the winter. The postponed
