@EVERAL of the California Yacht
Club fleet cruised yesterday from
o their moorings in Oakland Creek
to Sausalito, where they
were received by the members of
the San Francisco Yacht Club, refresh
ments being served and an informal en-
tertainment given in their honor.
To-day the California and San Fran
cisco fleets will take a cruise together in
the channel toward the Heads, as the
tide runs out until 12:46 p. m. The Cor
inthians have no event scheduled for to-
day. Next Saturday they will cruise to
Corinthian Cove, and on the following
day will hold the annual Corinthian
games ashore.
The command of the San Francisco
fleet has for some time past devolved on
Vice Commodore r. s. Bridgman, as
Commodore w. N. Mccarthy, owing to
the illness of Mrs. Mccarthy and the re-
cent death of their infant child, has had
no time nor inclination for yachting
On the 18th inst. both the Corinthian
and California Yacht clubs will hold their
closing entertainment the former at Ii
buron and the latter in the clubhouse on
Oakland Creek. The jinks committee of
the Corinthian Yacht Club is hard at
work preparing for the closing entertain

Interpreting the law as 1t stands, the
Commission officers have replied that the
steward of a club is liable to arrest II the
birds are kept in one room. Qualifying
This they add If the birds were in the

law would not be considered violated.
Manager Babcock Of Hotel Coronado Is
also in a quandary. He has shooting

wears to extend an invitation to the
snortsmen among his friends to spend a
few days with him in quest of ducks. AS

cold storage at the hotel to be distributed

The Woman Would Speculate.

Among the stories told Of the recent
furry in Wall street is this: An army Of
fcer stationed in the hilippines has been
sending home his salary for his wife to
save She sought to add to it by taking
flyer in Wall street She had invested
every dollar of her husbands savings. and
in the panic of Thursday all was swept
away. She appealed to Henry Clews, with
whose firm she had dealt:
'If 1 show you the way to get your
money back will you promise me that you
will not speculate again?' asked the
broker.
Indeed I WILL" tearfully assented the
woman.
''Wen, here's your money; now keep out
of the market"
Clews said afterward that he had not
invested the money.
A broker who listened to the story

seemed that in promising their puppies
for this champion stake the owners did

youngsters. later feeling is that in the
scramble for the much coveted honors the
older dogs are the ones whose chances are
in jeopardy The recent wonderful show
ing of the youngest of the lot, Hugh

feeling. Palo Alto, Sisquoc, Dewdrop,
Sacramento Boy, Luxor, Flying Fox and
other fast ones, veterans to the game
they are, will find it difficult to outpoint

now that the course for the final flag in

tions have arisen this season that add
much to the interest of the game. Here
tofore predictions have been made far in

thusiasts a chance to figure the compar-
ative worth of tried and experienced
hounds
The running of the last Futurity at Un-
ion Coursing Park, however, brought out
a new factor, as the work of the young
sters in that event and in subsequent
stakes has placed them. in the estima-
ton of competent judges, on an equal
footing with the more matured champions

composed of professional musicians dis

make the play the success it Is. This
feature is claimed by the management to
be gilt edged, and is said far exceeds the

Their fine band is said to possess more
than ordinary ability to render classical

The parade ought to tell something OF

Philip stewart's Cougar Hunt.

Scribner's Monthly for November,
which was out last week, contains the
second installment of President Roose-
velt's account of his mountain lion hunt
In Colorado. 1t is illustrated from photo
graphs taken by Philip B. Stewart, who
was the Presidents hunting companion
on the trip. In the course of the article,
Roosevelt tells an anecdote of Mr..
Stewart. The dogs had treed a cougar
and the hunting party was approaching
the spot.
While we were still some distance off we
could see the cougar in n low pinyon moving
about as the dogs tried to get up, and finally
knocking one clean out of the top. 1t was the
first time had ever seen dogs with cougar,
and was immensely interested but Stewart g
whole concern was with his camera. When
we were within fifty yards OF the tree and |
was preparing to take the rifle out of the
scabbard, Stewart suddenly called "halt,"
with the first sym ptoms OF excitement he had
shown, and added, IN an eager undertone
| 'Wait there is "A rabbit right here, and want
to take his picture" Accordingly we waited,
the cougar not fifty yards Off and the dogs
yelling and trying to get up the tree after it,
while Stewart crept up to the rabbit and got
kodak some six feet distant. Then we re-
! sumed our march toward the tree, and the
cougar, not liking the sight of the re.
Inducements, jumped out
The writer tells US that Stewart got a
cougar-"a young-of-the year, and, ac-
cording to his custom, he took several
photographs of it. Then he tried to poke
it so that it would get into better posi-.
tion for the camera; wherupon it jumped
out of the tree and ran headlong down
! tbo hill tho volpinO dooc hut q fau foot
behind" This animal was treed and
killed, but how is not told. 1t is stated
that in one of their gallOps after the
dogs, Stewards horse fell and performed
complete somersault. AS the rider con
tinued with the chase after the accident
presumably he was unhurt.

Ex-Postmaster in Trouble.

W. w. Brownfeld, until about a year ago postmaster at Grannis, Polk county, was arrested last week at Anaconda, Mo-, charged with embez- clement. Brownfeld is under in- dictment in the western district of Arkansas, and will shortly be taken to Fort Smith where his trial is to be held. He claims to be innocent of the charge lodged against him, and intimates that a spirit of spite, though not on the part of the gov ernment, is back of the trouble. He acknowledges that there was short age of a few hundred dollars at the Grannis postoffice during his admin istration, but is not able to fix the blame. The deficit was met by his bondsmen when its existence was dis covered, and this he claims to have made good through the sale of Kan sas property owned by his wife. Ac- cording to his story, he resigned when he learned that he was sus- pected of wrong-doing. This story is at variance with that of the gov ernment officers, who say he has been a fugitive from justice since June ot last year.
