THE FIELD TRIALS
 OPEN ON MONDAY

Interest in the Pacific Coast field trials which will be held at Bakersfield com mencing on Monday Is now intense, ow- ing to the short space of time that inter- venes before the first cast-off is made.
 The settlers will outnumber the point CTS greatly this year. and doubtless they will carry off the heavyweight prizes and honors that are attached to win.
 The owners of the comparatively few pointers that will be entered are san guine however, that surprise is in store for some of the setter fanciers, but time will tell the tale. It is to be hoped that the pointer, although not as popular a dog nowadays as the setter among Pacific Coast fanciers, will prove beyond cavil that he Is still entitled to recognition among the best of families.
 It is said that the grounds, although somewhat dry, are in tolerably good con- dition and that birds are fairly plentiful. Doubtless they will be rather wild. owing to the long spell of dry weather; runners may be found numerous. A number of Sacramento will leave tomorrow for Bakersfield. MT.

"chuteing." Will the dealers offer ths prizes? Ask any local tradesman in cycling goods what he would pay for the advertisement that his wheel had out coasted every other in contest Of that nature.
 The deductions to be drawn are these: Experience has shown that club that caters to bicycling solely is not the most successful. True, all its members should be wheelmen, but by making the club at tractive to their social life you build up the bicycle interest. And the first club that falls in line with the Eastern custom and tries to see, not how few entertain mentS with which 1t can get along through the winter, but how many 1t can crowd into the closed riding season, will be the leader in all bicycling affairs, both racing and social.
 Take the situation in this city to-day. There is not a single local club that I know of, and this paper is usually the first to record these things, that has any form of social entertainment in prospect. Not even a card tournament or smoker. '" Dances2 ''We can't make any money out of dancing parties,' is what the president will tell you.

JUDGE WALLACE oBDURATE. He Would Not Send CoDvicted
 Boys to q Reform School

Judge Wallace yesterday sentenced George alias Boots Rowe and Charles Kelly to seven and ten years imprison- ment respectively.
 The prisoners pleaded guilty to assault. ing and robbing old Isidore Gouet, and tried to mitigate their sentence by turn ing States evidence against Bert" Gray who they allege was the man who put up the job.
 Gray was arrested, but after a short trial the jury acquitted him. As both prisoners were under the age of 21, an effort was made to have them sent to reform school. Judge Wallace, however was obdurate, and said that a life in prison would teach them the error of their ways.
 Gray is now in jail awaiting trial for a murderouS attack on Goulet.

The skirt was simply a black calico
walking skirt, with a double lining fast
ened firmly to the outside at the bot
tom and secured at the waist with two
strong belts. There were capacious
openings at convenient points, and the
skirt was worn beneath the outside
skirt, which had n long slit in the full
pleats to correspond with the opening

Frauds i'm the Brute creation.

Humbugs are by no means confined
to the human species; they figure
among the lower animals as well. At
least, one who has studied closely their
habits says SO. In military stables
horses are known to have pretended
to be lame in order to avoid going to a
military exercise. A chimpanzee had
been fed on cake when sick; after his
recovery he often feigned coughing in
order to procure dainties. Animals are
conscious Of their deceit, as Is shown by
the fact that they try to act secretly
and noiselessly; they show a sense of
guilt II detected; they take precautions
in advance to avoid discovery; in some
cases they manifest regret and repent.
ance. Thus bees which steal hesitate
often before and after their exploits, as
II they feared punishment But at all
this kind of thing man leaves his fel
iow-animals far behind.
