WOMEN LEARN BUSINESS
Glasses Formed to Show Difference Be
tween Stocks and Bonds.

The woman who prides herself upon
her ignorance of business methods and
business training is not so conspicuous
these days as formerly. The modern
woman feels it necessary to be informed
about ordinary business routine, and
while she may never find it necessary
to exercise her talents outside Of her
home, or for other than personal in
terests, she rejoices In the fact that
she knows how to be business-like if
the occasion arises. Members Of her
edge is acquired as the result of expert
ence, and experience is not always the
gentlest Of teachers. The class fad has
in recent years extended to instruction
in business methods with which 1t is
presumed every woman should be IA
miliar, and includes as well the she'd
ding Of a little legal light upon some
everyday transactions affecting even
the home woman.
instruction in class must necessar-
lily be more in the way Of suggestions
or advice to fit particular cases than
a set course Of study. The classes meet
but one hour q week, the number being
limited, and each member usually comes
prepared to ask information on some
special point. The form Of instruction
includes explanations, for instance, as
to the difference between stocks and
bonds, between coupon and registered
bonds, the manner Of computing inter
est in the banks and points about diyi-
dends and discounts, for many women
who are possessors of stocks and bonds
and of bank accounts are in need of
such instr uction- Then there is advice
about real estate transactions, mort
cages, etc. This is where the legal
aspect OF. the instruction comes in, and
la few minutes talk enables woman
to see Just why such and such course
of procedure must be followed. AS for
the keeping of accounts, that, Of course,
lis bookkeeping instruction, given in the
(simplest and most comprehensive form.

CRICKETERS WANT GAME
WITH AUSTRALIAN TEAM
AntipOdean Cracks Will Pass Through
san Francisco on Their Way
TO England

A meeting Of the California Cricket
Association will be held in this city
on Monday evening. The chief mat
ters for discussion will be the pro-
posed acquisition of a new ground for
cricket and the visit of the Australian
eleven of 1905 to this city next spring.
The Australians will be on their
way TO England, which they expect TO
reach AT the end of March, their OPEN
ing match 10 be played early in April.
II satisfactory arrangements can be
made with Major Wardill, the man.
ager Of the Australian team, a match
will be played here between the Aus
Jralians and an eighteen of Califor-
mia. The secretary of the California
Cricket Association has addressed a
letter 10 Major Wardill. in which the
suggestion is made that a game be
played in San Francisco.
Lovers OF cricket in this city and
the neighbOrhOOd would be glad to
see the cracks from the Antipodes and
she Australians would probably be
willing after three weeks on board
ship to stretch their legs on a cricket
field. The Californians will be quite
out OF practice. as the earliest games
IN California are not played until
April, whereas the Australians are not
only superb players. but will leave
their country al the height of the
summer cricket season there.

Important Match to
Be BoWIed To-Day
at Oakland.

Bowling on the green" or Scottish
bowls, was introduced in San Fran
cisco about two years ago by few
enthusiastic Scotchmen. In that pc
riod of time il has become an i'm
mensely popular pastime among men
of all nationalities and ages. The
game appeals more strongly to men
past the meridian of life, but it also
has some youthful followers.
At present there are several Scot
tish bowling clubs on the coast, the
largest being here and in Oakland.
The home club has a membership Of
about 100, while the club across the
bay numbers about half that many
members. The Claremont Country
Club has laid out a splendid green,
which will be used to-day for the first
time in an inter-club match. Teams
from the San Francisco and Oakland
clubs will meet and formally open the
new green.
This match is unusually interesting
because of the fact that San Fran
cisco won the last inter-club contest
on the Oakland green, while the pre-
vious match was won by Oakland on
the San Francisco green. This will
be the first meeting of the clubs rep
resentatives on a neutral green. Each
club will send its best twelve men
into the fray. San Francisco will pin
its faith to the following: Y. c. Law
son, w. r. Eaton, H. L. Tickner, j.
S. Webster, A. A. McVicar, ]. G. Mof-
fatt, Judge Lucien Shaw, Andrew Nc
Nair, Thomas Aitken, Robert Park, L.
Millar and T. Mcknight.
No tournament matches will be
played on the park green to-day, as
most of the cracks will be across the
bay. Play will be resumed next week.
The doubtless tournament which has
been under way for some time will be
completed as soon as possible.
Y. c. Lawson. the man who intro
duced Scottish bowling here and an
enthusiastic worker in its cause, will
leave for New York next month. Mr..
Lawson was the first president of the
club and its first champion. The sue
cess of the club and popularity of the
game is due in a great extent to his
untiring efforts. H. L. Tickner. the
new club president, is another en-
thusiast, who will prove worthy sue
cessor to Mr.. Lawson. M. L. Grove
was the second champion. ]. c. Mof-
fatt the third and DR.. Hamilton the
present champion.

LEASHMEN AIM
FOR STANDARD
WANT PURE BLOOD
Some Promising Grey
hounds Change Owners.

From the registrations and other de-
tails of breeding filed with the Cali
fornia Coursing Committee it is evident
the standard of greyhounds on this
coast will not deteriorate for years to
come. The number of greyhounds bred
is large while the quality is of the
best. The sires which stand highest
among the winners are in strong de-
mand, showing the coursing men want
the best strains available.
George Nethercott Of Sacramento,
whose kennels have produced some SEN
sational performers in recent years,
has registered a litter of ten puppies
by Rocker -Freda c. Six of them are
dogs.
Tommy Hall, the veteran coursing
man of Merced, has registered a litter
by Rocker-Cla Barton. The latter
was a good performer on the plains.
w. d. Murphy has purchased Idaho
Boy from G. Lacy Crawford.
S. Mahoney has bought Lydia, a
promising puppy by Rocker-Bumble
Bee.
w. P. Spencer has bought Yellow
stone, a puppy of the same litter, which
performed well last week.
DR.. F. P. Clark of Stockton has pur-
chased from James Sweeney the six
teen-month-old puppy Creole Sue. She
is of the second litter of Rocker Fiery
Face. The first litter included such fast
ones as Richard Anton, Rocker Arm
Raby Aurora and others. DR.. Clark will
start it at Stockton for the LOnjer Cup,
which is run for each year in Decem-
ber by young greyhounds owned in the
San Joaquin Valley.
