BM NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—It Is stated that the famous sugar duty rebate case recently decided against the im- porters by the Supreme Court Is to be reopened. The new plan is to attack the . constitutionality of the Treasury Department's practice, -which, the im- porters say, amounts to the assump- tion of a right to increase the duty at will. Attack Is to Be Made on the Consti- tutionality of the Treasury De- partment's Ruling. SUGAR DUTY REBATE CASE TO BE REOPEXED The State of Washington contem- plates sending militia companies, though the matter has not been defi- nitely decided. It is probable that Idaho will also be represented for - a few weeks and 'possibly Colorado.

"-*M!fe ' There will be no coursing at Union Park to-morrow, . but a special holi- day stake of forty-eight entries will be run on Monday. The first brace of dogs willbe sent to the slips upon the arrival of the 10:15 a. m. train. The officials endeavored to secure grey- hounds of the same class and they succeeded. No one entry stands out above the others, so there will be some livelyspeculation as to the ulti- mate winner. The likely winners in the first round look to be: Pocatelli, the champion greyhound, is in training and will sooi\ be seen in the running. The hares are excep- tionally strong for this season of the year and the dogs require severe work to fit them for competition. P. J. Reilly has registered a litter of seven puppies by McVey-Rosie Clair. The latter is one of the famous St. Clairs and much is expected of the youngsters. The management of Union Cours- ing Park has announced the annual renewal of the Inaugural champion stake, which will be run on New Year's day. The entrance fee will be $10 and there will be liberal added money. Among the fast dogs which are expected to start are: Richard Anton. McVey. Barge, Belle Free. Friendless Boy and .others. On Monday, January 2, fi special holiday stake will be run in its en- tirety. :'r: % The San Pablo shore furnished ideal canvasback shooting last Sunday. Nine men secured limit bags easily. .Henry Klevesahl and Dr. Hutton secured a joint bag of- 40 cans near Giant. 'Jack Moi sen picked' up 17 cans in the same neighborhood. The birds killed in this district were as fat as butter, while those secured near Petaluma were thin. It is supposed the former are livinghigh on the -baited preserves, while the, latter have to scratch around after clams for, a living. : 7>ete McRae, Jim Maynard and Mr. Fishbeck ' took a/ day,, off " from duck shooting ;and enjoyed some, excellent sport. after quail near Point Rjeyes. Stow. Lake, in Golden Gate Park, has been. full of . wild .ducks In the finest possible condition The birds seem to have \ no fear of the visitors there, as they let persons approach quite close to them. The majority are spoon- bills^, mallard and' bluebllls. They do nbt',remain long, the, call of the wild taking /.-them away to new feeding "grounds. - - .... \u25a0" Mr. Carlson, who Is one - of the regu- lars , at , Alvarado. says, the men who shoot' there are disappointed j if they do not get the . limit.^ The \ good - shooting never , lasted so ; long before ', as it has thisyear. As the marsh Is . easily _ ac- cessible, there - are \u25a0 a great- many men out." . The gun stores have been deluged with orders -for shells recently. Many men expect^ to spend the holidays after ducks and quail. - If weather conditions are favorable" an army of 'sportsmen will be afield, especially onthe New Year's holidays.. . The members of the Miramonte Club at Burdells had excellent shoot- Ing last Sundav. Ed Donohoe was a guest of the members and secured 42 birds, chiefly sprig. On the preserve of the U. M. C. Club Charles Lains killed 40 birds, the ma- jority of which were cans. Clarence Neuman was the only other member out. . " . The duck shooters are in a quandary as . to the quality of the sport which awaits them to-morrow morning on the marshes. The rain of Thursday night is expected to have some »effect on the shooting, but how much cannot be de- termined until the fun commences. Some of the men who were out last Sunday had a peculiar experience. The fog was so thick on some of the pre- serves that the birds could be heard dropping into the ponds and slough3 among the decoys and yet could not be seen. The birds were moving about in great numbers. The members of the Empire Gun Club found the shooting over their ponds- good, but the fog hung over the slough and spoiled the sport there. ' ' l,\ •' Of the foregoing the -nominees for the ofnees of commodore, vice commo- dore, port captain, secretary and treas- urer are the incumbents, who gave gen- eral satisfaction in the performance of their duties during last season. Frank Stone and W. McFarland take the places of W. J. Hogg and Orlo East- wood on the board of directors. On the regatta committee T. J. Kavanaugh and Douglas Erskine retain their of- fices, while Stewart Middlemas takes the place of James K. Bulger. As it is the cuEtom of the. Corinthian Yacht Club to adjust all differences and harmonize the various parties before making up the regular ticket, the nom- inees are acceptable to all the members and are elect«d unanimously at the an- nual meeting, which is held on the last Wednesday in January. The annual dinner of the Corinthian Yacht Club will take place on New Year's day in the clubhouse at Tiburon. year's sport. The nominating commit- tee, consisting of C. Morrell, ex-Com- modore E. F.

Brickell, for vice commodore; E. J. Bowes, for secretary; W. A. Stringer, for treasurer; J. H. Keefe, for port captain; Frank J. Stone and McFar- land, for directors; T. J.

Betten will fill the responsible position of Judge, being the first Call- fornian to act in that capacity since 1SS9. The Eastern judges have lnvara- bly advised that a Californian be se- lected, as the habits of the birds are different from those In the East and also that many men competent to act reside here. The trials are expected to last throughout the week. Among the well known sportsmen who will attend the trials are: Presi- dent W. W. Van Arsdale. Secretary Albert Betz. W. S. Tevis. Frank Mas- key, Frank Mayer, C. W. Hibbard, J. S. . Brownell, W. W. Richards. Judge C. N. Pest. W. E. Gerber and J. E. Terrv of Sacramento; H. W. Kel- ler of Santa Monica; John H. Schu- macher.

Anderson of Santa Clara; Dr. A. M. Barker. San Jose; J. Sub Johnson. Visalia, and A. G. Parks, Hanford. The champion stake tests the con- dition, stamina and bird finding quali- ties of the dogs. While they are do-=ni for only half-hour heats for the first time in the other events, here they are down two hours, making a trying ordeal. The prize Is a valuable cup. which must be won twice to become the property of the winner. Chief interest centers In the Pacific Coast champion stake, entries for which will close uoon the completion of the all-age event. Any setter or pointed having won a first, second or third in a recognized field trial will be eligi- ble. This will be the first running of the champion event since 1901 at Cor- onado. At that time there was only two starters. Six or more are expected at the forthcoming trials. lse of being the most successful ever held on the coast. Birds are plenti- ful on the carefully preserves grounds over which the sporty a-rtters and pointers will work. The** are a large number of high class field dugs in training and an unusually large num- ber of well known sportsmen have sig- nified their intention of being present. SCew Tear's day. There will b* play on the links every day from to-day until i he 2d of January, inclusive. On Mon- ilay, the 2Cth inst., there will be a handi- cap over eighteen holes on the Presidio course for the members of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club. On the same day the members of the San Rafael Golf Club will take part in a handicap over eighteen holes on the Happy Valley course for a cup pre- sented by A. S. Lllley. Though no contests have been defi- nitely arranged to tjjke place on the course of the Claremont Country Club, several players will be out for practice, and a contest of some sort is likely to held. The Claremont members are much pleased with the c«w course, which is interesting and not too diffi- cult. The club, with its handsome, well -equipped clubhouse, fine bowling green and lawn tennis courts, its i oque court, garden, stables, golf course and trap-shooting ground, its excellent location and th« fine view it affords, has been pronounced by men -.vhc are familiar with country clubs Sn many parts of the United States as superior to any similar institution in the Western States and equal to any in the land. On Tuesday, the 27th inst.. the la- dies of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club will hold the qualifying round over eighteen holes, medal play, of the first competition during the present season for the Council's cup for women. On Wednesday morning the eiffht ladies who qualify will take part in the first round at match play. On Thursday morning the four win-' ners of the first round of matches will play in the semi-final round. On Friday morning the two winners in the second round will play in the final round, the winner in which will have her name, with the date, en- graved on the handsome silver trophy. Piay on each day will begin at 9:30 a. m. promptly. New Year's day is, always a busy one among the men of th« San Fran- cisco Golf Club. The New Year's day handicap over eighteen holes gener- ally brings out more than a score of competitors, prizes being offered for the bent gross and the best net score. The annual competition for the Liv- erpool cold medal is also held on New Year's day, the winner becoming the medal play champion of the club for the year. The gold medal is at pres- ent held by H. C. Golcher, who won It on January 1 of this year with a ecore of 29, 46. total 85, J. W. Byrne being the closest possible second with 46. 40. total 8 6. The upual competi- tion for the. srpld medal and the han- dicap will no doubt take place on January 2. 1905. Arrangements will soon be made for a home-and-home team match be- tween representatives of the Clare- mont Country Club and the San Ra- fael Golf. Club. . the California Club. The Golden Gate Club has given up tournament play for the present and has nothing sched- uled until the latter part of January. In the meantime the boys of the Junior Club and the ladies of the Annex are taking advantage of the respite and are holding tournaments regularly. The Junior Club, which was organ- ized by Mr. Marvin about two months ago, has grown with surprising rapid- ity. The club started with about twenty members and already has some sixty on the roll. The boys average almost two tournaments a week, in which the entry list is always large and the interest at a high pitch. A continuous tournament was started last week and as the boys will be able to play after school hours it should prove a great success.' This club will prove an excellent training school and will develop many good players. It is restricted to boys 16 years of age or under. The dues and initiation fee are small and any boy within the age limit can be- come a member. The Christmas tournament, which the California Club is planning, will be an interesting affair. It will be a scratch doubles in which partners are drawn. This will make the affair something of a lottery. If the best player Jn the club draws a fourth- class man the team will stand abso- lutely no show to win. I- neeras hard- lyjust to the better players, who have been asked to- give handicaps In all the tournaments of late. A straight scratch doubles would be more satis- factory and would > be working no hardship on the poorer players. When the Whitneys \.ere the club champions an occasional handicap even; was always frowned upon. In those days the men" who were learn- ing the game considered themselves fortunate if they could get one handi- cap tournament out of three. Now the cracks consider themselves lucky if one tournament in five is a scratch event. The New Tear's tournament, which will not be interfered with by the Christmas event in case of rain, will be the annual class singles tourna- ment. It will determine who is the best man in each -class. Every active member of the club will participate in this event, which is one of the most important. of the year. It will also determine V^ho. the club's best man is. J. D. MacGavin's departure leaves this question open, r The winner of the first class \u25a0 will be the club champion for the year. The continuous tournament,, which was started about three weeks ago, has not been as successful as was ex- pected....This, however, is not due to a- lack of interest, but ' is due - to weather conditions. The board is full of challenges at .all times . and , the players seem anxious to. get -at one another. A mistake; was made:: in starting an event' of this kind in mid- winter. Most of the players cannot get out -during the week and- the at- tendance is so large on Saturday after- noons that the "courts are given over entirely to doubles. This leaves Sun- day the onlyl day on which most of the members can play. In case of a rainy Sunday or an' enforced absence from the city the matches drag along. The days are too short for, a . continuous tourney. v An event of this kind in the spring or early fall . would . prove a great success, but, in* mid-summer, or winter It. is a difficult thing, to ( hold. The players, are;. taking more interest in this , tournament, than any similar one held in the past. . " Following is the standing of the players:; First cUm No. I,. Ray -B.

The Independents, however, drew the bye last Sunday and so had no opportunity to add to their list of victories. The Independents are in a better position with regard to the ultimate result than the Rovers, for they have, lost only one match out of six, whereas the Rovers have lost two matches out of eight, or in the proportion of one in four. It is probable that the Oakland Hornets will become a more important element in the contests that " will be played next year. The results of the league matches up to date are shown in the table. ..-.'\u25a0 No matches . for the 1904-1905 cham- pionship of the California Association Football League will be played either to-morrow or on Monday, but four practice games will be played by league teams during the holidays. At Freeman's Park to-morrow the Occi- dentals will line up for a friendly con- test with the Albion Rovers, the ball being kicked off at 2:30 p. m. At Idora Park, beginning at the same time to- morrow, the Oakland Hornets will play against the Independents. On Monday, the Occidental eleven will engage in an association football match against the Wolf Tones, play beginning at 2:30 p. m. on the ground at Ninth and Bryant streets, San Fran- cisco. The Wolf Tones are champions of Gaelic football, having defeated the Parnells 4 goals to 3 in a match played a few weeks ago. On" the same day, beginning at the same hour, the Vam- pires will play the regular annual match against a team of the Seamen's Institute, San Francisco, on the cricket ground at Alameda. There will be but one Christmas tournament on the tennis courts and that will be a scratch doubles held by Although It is yet midwinter, the yachtsmen of Ban Francisco are al- ready thinking of the approaching Nominating Committee Has Selected the Present Boa'rd With but Few Changes Some Future Champion Is Expected to Spring From Banks of Organization GOOD TRAINING SCHOOL REGULAR TICKET IS UP Junior Club at Golden Gate Park Proves a Marked Success in Brief Time 10

There will be no coursing at UnionPark to-morrow,.but a special holi-day stake of forty-eight entries willbe run on Monday. The first brace ofdogs willbe sent to the slips upon thearrival of the 10:15 a. m. train. Theofficials endeavored to secure grey-hounds of the same class and theysucceeded. No one entry stands outabove the others, so there will besome livelyspeculation as to the ulti-mate winner. The likely winners inthe first round look to be:

Pocatelli, the champion greyhound,is in training and willsooi\ be seen inthe running. The hares are excep-tionally strong for this season of theyear and the dogs require severe workto fit them for competition.

P. J. Reilly has registered a litterof seven puppies by McVey-RosieClair. The latter is one of the famousSt. Clairs and much is expected of theyoungsters.

The management of Union Cours-ing Park has announced the annualrenewal of the Inaugural championstake, which will be run on New

The duck shooters are in a quandary

as . to the quality of the sport whichawaits them to-morrow morning on themarshes. The rain of Thursday night

is expected to have some »effect on theshooting, but how much cannot be de-termined until the fun commences.

Some of the men who were out lastSunday had a peculiar experience. Thefog was so thick on some of the pre-serves that the birds could be hearddropping into the ponds and slough3among the decoys and yet could notbe seen. The birds were moving aboutin great numbers. The members of theEmpire Gun Club found the shootingover their ponds- good, but the fog hungover the slough and spoiled the sportthere.

H. L. Betten will fill the responsibleposition of Judge, being the first Call-fornian to act in that capacity since1SS9. The Eastern judges have lnvara-bly advised that a Californian be se-lected, as the habits of the birds aredifferent from those In the East andalso that many men competent to actreside here.

Among the well known sportsmenwho will attend the trials are: Presi-dent W. W. Van Arsdale. SecretaryAlbert Betz. W. S. Tevis. Frank Mas-key, Frank Mayer, C. W. Hibbard,J. S.. Brownell, W. W.

The champion stake tests the con-dition, stamina and bird finding quali-ties of the dogs. While they are do-=nifor only half-hour heats for the firsttime in the other events, here theyare down two hours, making a tryingordeal.

Chief interest centers In the PacificCoast champion stake, entries for whichwill close uoon the completion of theall-age event. Any setter or pointedhaving won a first, second or thirdin a recognized field trial will be eligi-ble. This will be the first running ofthe champion event since 1901 at Cor-onado.

Though no contests have been defi-nitely arranged to tjjke place on thecourse of the Claremont Country Club,several players willbe out for practice,and a contest of some sort is likely tob» held. The Claremont members aremuch pleased with the c«w course,which is interesting and not too diffi-cult. The club, with its handsome,well-equipped clubhouse, fine bowlinggreen and lawn tennis courts, itsioque court, garden, stables, golfcourse and trap-shooting ground, itsexcellent location and th« fine view itaffords, has been pronounced by men-.vhc are familiar with country clubsSn many parts of the United States assuperior to any similar institution inthe Western States and equal to anyin the land.

the California Club. The Golden GateClub has given up tournament play

for the present and has nothing sched-uled until the latter part of January.

In the meantime the boys of theJunior Club and the ladies of theAnnex are taking advantage of therespite and are holding tournamentsregularly.

The Junior Club, which was organ-

ized by Mr. Marvin about two monthsago, has grown with surprising rapid-ity. The club started with abouttwenty members and already has somesixty on the roll. The boys average

almost two tournaments a week, inwhich the entry list is always large

and the interest at a high pitch. Acontinuous tournament was startedlast week and as the boys willbe ableto play after school hours it shouldprove a great success.'

This club will prove an excellenttraining school and will developmany good players. Itis restricted toboys 16 years of age or under. Thedues and initiation fee are small andany boy within the age limit can be-come a member.

The Christmas tournament, whichthe California Club is planning, willbe an interesting affair. Itwill be ascratch doubles in which partners aredrawn. This will make the affairsomething of a lottery. If the bestplayer Jn the club draws a fourth-class man the team will stand abso-lutelyno show to win. I-neeras hard-lyjust to the better players, who havebeen asked to- give handicaps In allthe tournaments of late. A straight

scratch doubles would be more satis-factory and would > be working nohardship on the poorer players.

When the Whitneys \.ere the clubchampions an occasional handicapeven; was always frowned upon. In

those days the men" who were learn-ing the game considered themselvesfortunate if they could get one handi-cap tournament out of three. Nowthe cracks consider themselves lucky

if one tournament in five is a scratchevent.

The New Tear's tournament, whichwill not be interfered with by theChristmas event in case of rain, willbe the annual class singles tourna-ment. It will determine who is thebest man in each -class. Every activemember of the club will participatein this event, which is one of the mostimportant. of the year. It will alsodetermine V^ho. the club's best man is.J. D. MacGavin's departure leaves thisquestion open, r The winner of thefirst class \u25a0 will be the club championfor the year.

The continuous tournament,, whichwas started about three weeks ago,

has not been as successful as was ex-pected....This, however, is not due toa- lack of interest, but

'

is due-

toweather conditions. The board is fullof challenges at .all times . and ,theplayers seem anxious to. get -at oneanother. A mistake; was made:: instarting an event' of this kind in mid-winter. Most of the players cannotget out -during the week and- the at-tendance is so large on Saturday after-noons that the "courts are given overentirely to doubles. This leaves Sun-day the onlylday on which most of themembers can play. Incase of a rainySunday or an' enforced absence fromthe city the matches drag along. Thedays are too short for, a. continuoustourney.

v An event of this kind in thespring or early fall. would .prove agreat success, but, in*mid-summer, orwinter It.is a difficult thing, to (hold.The players, are;. taking more interestin this ,tournament, than any similarone held in the past. ."

The Albion Rover*, having playedmore matches and won a greater num-ber than any other team, stand at thehead of the championship table. TheIndependents, however, drew the byelast Sunday and so had no opportunityto add to their list of victories. TheIndependents are in a better positionwith regard to the ultimate result thanthe Rovers, for they have, lost onlyone match out of six, whereas theRovers have lost two matches out ofeight, or in the proportion of one infour.
