Saturday, 9Th June, 1899.

Thursday being the birthday Of His Ma
iegtv the King was marked by the hosting
of flags over public aud private buildings
and a. the consulAtes.
The Gendarme band played national airs
between five and six in the morning, and the
Corps fired a royal salute at noon.
His Excellency the Governor held, rs had
been officially notified, a reception at Govern
m6nt House ut 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which
was very largely attended. His EIceIIenGy
proposed the health of His Majesty the
King and called for three times three
cheers in honour Of His Majesty's birth
day. The company was afterwards enter
tanned Mt luncheon and passed q very plea
SAINT time.
The performance Of the Native Brass
Band in the evening was very creditablei
and the institution deserves support.
Some rockets and blue lights were shown
from the fort, and one of the former set
fire to an old shingled roof, but fortunately
the fire was quickly extinguished.
There was an eclipse of the moon on
Thursday evening lasting from about Z to IL
o'clock,
We have no wish to enter into q contro-
versy with the Chairman of the Colonial
Council over the letter which he has been
good enough TO send US md which We
print this morning, but q few words are
necessary for our own justification.
The Chairman, speaking of the two cases
compared by US in Wednesdays AUis, name
" the treatment of the Excise question
i'll the meeting in Tune 1907 and its trent.
ment in the meeting of March 1909, says
that he fails to see that there is any similsri-
ty in the two questions. We on the other
hand fail to see much difference between
them. In the first of the two meetings a
decision was taken in regard to the
amount of the Excise Duty in the
second Of the two meetings that decision
50 far as concerns 19OQ-10, was reconsider
ed. That was the only difference. Is it
not a little strange that q member who
by his position was disqualified, las stated
by the Chairman and admitted by himself)
from taking part in the original decision
was nevertheless allowed to take part in the
reconsideration Of that same decision, the
disqualitying position remaining the same J
Is it not also strange that the Chairman
found it difficult to pick ont the personally
interested parties on the recent occasion, but
found it easy to do SO two years a9oP Sure
ly it must have been just as true two years
ago as it il nov, that some members are
interested as sellers, some as manufacturers
and some, even if to q small extent, as oon-
sumers

HANDBALL SHARKS
TO HOLD TOURNEY

Secretary Henderson of the Los An
geles Athletic club has about COM
pleted arrangements for a handball
tournament to be played on the clubs
courts between two representative
players of the Olympic club of San
Francisco and two from the Los An
geles Athletic club the latter part of
this month. A return match will be
played in the northern city.
The players TO represent the local
club will be picked from the following
well known local eXponents of the art:
Gordo Whelan, the Athletic club cham
pion; Lou Guernsey, Ray Dunnigan
and Reynolds. The two to be chosen
will be decided in an elimination con-
test of a series of games in which the
candidates will be paired and the two
making the best team will represent
the club.
It is expected that the Olympic club
will use the same tactics in choosing
its team, but it is almost matter OF
fact that its teem will be composed of
Al Hampton and "Miggie" Mcclure
who are considered the best amateur
players ON the coast.
One point greatly in favor Of the
Athletic team is the fact that at the
Olympic club there are two different
courts. In one the Irish handball is
used and in the other a tennis ball is
played with At the local club the
Irish half-solid bail is used and this
is the ball agreed on both clubs.
1t is expected that one of the promi-
nent members of the Athletic club will
donate a cup, and a committee win be
appointed to decide whether it will be
a perpetual challenge cup or not.
Vice President Garbutt Of the local
organization and President William
Humphreys Of the Olympic are in favor
of the tournament. All expenses of
the coming tournament vii be betrayed
by the Los Angeles Athletic club.

GEYER READY TO
MIX WITH WILLIS
DENVER JACK AND NORTH
ERNER TO MEET AGAIN
BOUT WILL BE SEEN AT MAUD
JUNCTION NOVEMBER 80
Danny Webster Is Working Hard for
His Championship Battle with
Monte Attell-Other Pugs
Also Busy

Denver Jack Geyer and Joe Willis,
the San Francisco heavyweight, yester-
day agreed to terms for ten-round
battle at McCarey's Maud Junction
pavilion on the evening of November
30. Tuesday evenings bout, in which
Geyer was knocked out in the final
round was one of the fiercest battles
ever seen at the pavilion. Geyer, with
a hard right to Willis jaw, almost
dropped the northern fighter in the
ninth round. Geyer was, however.
outhoxed in all the earlier stages of
the battle.
The erstwhile middleweight cham
pion of the middle west believes that
I'm a return match he can take Willis
measure. He will probably force the
San Franciscan to do the leading, at
which Geyer did his most effective
work. On the other hand, Willis as
serts that the fight will never go ten
rounds and that when 1t is over 1t will
not be he who must be carried to
the corner The match will give the
fans another chance to see the two
fast heavies In action and will settle
Geyer's prospects once and for all.
Danny Webster does not intend to
leave any stone unturned to get in
shape for his championship contest at
McCarey's pavilion November %, for
he has gone to work in earnest at the
East Side, and daily is doing his reg
ular stunts toward getting into condi-
tion. He has frankie Sullivan with
him as a sparring partner and is under
the direction of Eddie Webster, his
manager
Monte Attell is expected to come
down from the north this week, though
he has not sent any definite word as to
what day he will arrive. He is doing
light training in San Francisco and
will finish up at Doyle's during this
week.
The contest between frankie Sulli-
van and Billy Cappelle, which is sched-
uled for ten rounds for the semi
windup Of the Webster-Attell night. Is
exciting all sorts of gossip. as two
more evenly matched boys in aggres-
siveness could hardly be found in the
local colony. A side bet of fairly large
proportions hangs fire. but it is ex-
boys will come forward tomorrow and
post the money with the Pacific Ath-
letic club. The hacker of Cappelle is
willing to place $1,000 on the San Pedro
lads chances and Sulivan's followers
will settle the amount to be placed
when they all get together.
Jack Geyer probably will be
matched with Joe Willis again for
November 80. the signing of articles
awaiting the pleasure Of Geyer, who
has not quite decided whether he
wishes the match for this month or
later. He will make his decision today.
Manager McCarey is trying to get
Ketchel to set the date with Flynn for
the early part of December, as IL
doubtless will draw better week or
so before the holidays than It would at
Christmas or New Years An answer
to McCarey's wire is expected tomor-

spring in all the leading California
tournaments, the principal one of which
is the All-American International Chal-
lenge cup. The trophy is a $4,000 cup,
presented by the Coronado Country
club of Southern California. Two teams
from outside California must play in
the tournament. Last year an English
team competed and was defeated by
the Burlingame team in the last game.
This coming year will bring added
interest to the cup series, for two east
ern teams are expected. The Bryn
Mawr club and Harry Payne Whitney
are to take out teams. With Mr..
Whitney will probably be two other
members of the Meadow Brook club I'm
T. S. Phipps and one of the Waterbury
brothers, together with Louis Stoddard'
who was spare man last summer for
the American team that won the In
ternational cup at Hurlingham.
The Burlingame club will have two
teams in the field, and the Riverside
and Los Angeles clubs will take part
in the series.

VETERAN DRIVER
WILL SHOW HERE
w. G. DURFEE TO CAMPAIGN
STRING IN ANGEL CITY
MRS. BoNFILlo's STABLE BOASTS
WORLDS BEST PAGER
Margin Also in String of Grand Circuit
Performer-copa de Orc Makes
2:o1 IA Pacing Record
at Phoenix
BY CHARLES JERNEGAN

What will undoubtedly be the chief
attraction for the Thanksgiving matt
nee of the Los Angeles Driving club
will be that veteran dricver and breed
er, William G. Durfee, and a string
of thoroughbreds which he will stable
in California during the winter. Dur
fee at present is driving for Mrs. l..
G. Bonflio Of Los Angeles. He has
been in the employ of the leading wo-
man owner of the west for three years
and has charge of the entire Bonfilio
stable. Il would rather lose any horse
in my possession said Mrs. Bonilio
in speaking of Durfee, than the SER
vices of such an expert"
Two of Mrs. Bonflio's horses are
among the best in the country. Carlo
kin, 2:Os IA, by Mckinney, 2:11 IA, out
of Carlotta Wilkes, is one of the pret-
tiest trotters which ever faced a bar
rier. Carlokin was purchased by Mrs.
Bonfilio for about $4,000 when the horse
was stepping the distance in some
thing like 2:15 or 2:20. Today the son
of Mckinney is valued at no less than
$4,000.
PAGER Not for Sale
There is, however. one horse in Mrs.
Bonfilio's string which money Will not
buy. Copa de orc, the fastest PAGER
in the world today and who lowered
his record of 2:02 last week at the
Phoenix races by "a of a second, is
valued at a higher figure than the re-
mainder of the horses In Mrs. Bonfilio's
stable combined.
II consider Copa de orc without ex-
ception the fastest, best and cleanest
running PAGER in the world today said
Durfee in speaking of a horse whose
prowess he alone is responsible for.
Copa de ORC was taken in charge by
Durfee when this driver considered the
horse, which had already shown sem
sational form as a colt, as being hope
lessly ruined. At the request Of Mrs.
Bonfilio Durfee started in with a course
of rigorous training, which in two
years time enabled the PAGER to ne
gotiate his mile In something like 2:05.
Then Copa de orc began to exhibit his
true class and within the following year
had lowered his 2:05 mark by a couple
of seconds. Within the past few
months Copa de ORC established rec
ord of 2:02 on the grand circuit which
The Eel tried in vain to equal Last
week at Phoenix Durfee in driving the
stallion to beat 2:02 negotiated 2:O1 Ia,
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-14

the fastest pacing mile ever made by
this thoroughbred.
As a money getter however, which
has at least during the past season
eclipsed Copa de Oro's record is Mar
gin. the premier trotter of w. G.. Dur
fees string and the property of f. ID.
Meyers of New York city. Margin is
an easy going horse with deep chest
and a fighting heart which never gives
in. The total winnings of this trotter
on the grand circuit for the past sea-
son amount to over $4,000. With a
record of 2:O5%, Margin has beaten
many eastern trotters considered more
than her peer.
Another neat winning was added
to Margins already large pile when she
easily won the Copper stakes $4,000.
during the past week at Phoenix. Mar
gin was never extended to win, taking
her three heats in succession.
Durfee's record is no less remarkable
than that Of his horses. Born, bred
and raised with trotters and PAGERS,
this driver has been a marked success
from the time when he first handled a
pair of ribbons.
The running game is all right" said
Durfee, If It were run on the square.
1t has not been, and l doubt If it ever
viii be- and that Is why l have stuck
to the harness"
Durfee's last seasons showing on the
grand circuit, which did not equal his
last performances, may be largely at
tributed TO the fact that he broke his
arm at the beginning of the year while
training a horse at Agricultural park,
Los Angeles. Later in the season he
again injured the limb while caring
for another member of his string in a
stall at Boston. Carlokin. Margin and
Copa de orc will perform here during
the coming season, and it is likely that
all will face the barrier on Thanksgiv-
ing daY.

The greater part of the contest was

Los Angeles High Defeats Polytechnic
Players at Fiesta Park by
Score of Five to

L. A. High, 5; Poly High, 3

In a fast and interesting Rugby game
at Fiesta stadium yesterday the fast
little second team from l.. A. high de-
feated the second team of Poly by a
close score of to 3. The game was
replete with disappointments and mis-
takes on both sides. Many advantages
were lost by the mechanics, and they
persistently tackled too high to down
the huskies from L. A. on the other
hand, Poly ran over Los Angeles in
the serum and outkicked them in kick
ing to touch. During the first half L.
A. was strong and pushed the ball
across the line and converted for a
score of ).
In the second half the Poly squad
took heed to their coaching and awoke
TO the game. The ball fingered in L. A.
territory most of this half, and Daugh-
terty from Poly, being given free kick,
put the ball square over the posts. maxi
ing the final score 3.
Daugherty and Mendoza played fast
ball for Poly, while Tulan made a very
pretty tackle. Hartman and Miller's
weight was of advantage to Polytechnic
in the serum.
Crank was perhaps L. AS fastest
man, while Condee, Conway and War

very slow and dragging.
That the Methodist team was the
