POSSIBLE CONDITIONS.
RUSSIA RENEWsREQUEsT
British Diplomats Active in Urging a
Strict Observance of Berlin Treaty
-Russia's Only Hope OF Success Is
Uniting Three Fleets,

Boilind. March 8. - The Porte has
thus far met the requests of the Rus
sian ambassador to Turkey to permit
the Black sea fleet to pass the Oar
danelles by naming conditions wholly
unacceptable to Russia. One of these
conditions is that Russia shall break
Oft or evade the fulfillment of her
agreements with Austria respecting
the Balkans and give the sultan leave
to settle the controversy by his own
methods and assist Turkey should ALL
stria or other powers dispute the sui,
tan's decision. ~
Renews Request.
Russia has rejected the proposition
as preposterous. but she has renewed
her request, to which there seems lit
tie likelihood of the sultan yielding,
as the British diplomacy is active at
Constantinople in urging on the Porte
the strict observance Of the Berlin
treaty.
Would Not Use DardaneIIes.
Russia would not use the Darda-
nelles now if she could in the opinion
Of experts here. because the Black
sea fleet Is not ready for far eastern
campaign, and if it were ready, Russia
would wait until her Baltic fleet is
thoroughly equipped.
Hope is in Unity Of Fleets.
1t is believed that Russia could not
hope for. a decisive naval success with
out the Baltic, Black sea and Mediter-
ranean squardons uniting and proceed
ing to the east together otherwise they
would be destroyed by piecemeal.

CYCLING HOSTS
AT INGLESIDE
Unprecedented Entry Is Sc
cured of Noted Riders for
Various Distance Events

Cycling in its palmiest days could
hardly afford the sport in prospect at
the meeting which will be held to-mor-
row at Ingleside track. In addition to
the cycle races there will be events for
automobiles.
There are seventy entries for the five
mile handicap thirty five for the novice
race and big lists for the one and two
mile open events.
Nine clubs will send representatives
to the mark in the Australian pursuit
race. In this the teams will be started
at different parts of the track. AS the
members of one team overtake those of
another the latter must retire. If one
team has not overtaken all the others
at the end of ten miles the winner will
be the team which first completes this
distance. The rAce is a complicated
one, but if it works out properly great
contest should result.
The crack teams of the Reno Wheel
men, Los Angeles Wheelmen, Garden
City Wheelmen and Bay City Wheel
men will compete.
The meet is under the direction of a
committee made UP of F. G. Bollo, NJ
Bollo and f. G. West.

with enthusiasm.
To create an interest in the new
type on this coast they purchased
some splendid representatives in the
East, which they are showing at the
San Francisco Riding Club. These
horses all have a dash of the thor
oughbred, showing it in their confor-
nation and in their fine heads, full of
character. They have many distinct
gaits and change from one to another
at some signal which an onlooker
would not notice. At slight snap of
the fingers they canter, while a touch
on the name makes them start on a
square trot.
Particular attention has been paid
to their mouths and it seems they can
be controlled with silken thread.
