THE FIELD OF SPORT. An Eventful Week for the Slog- ging Clubs. Campbell Winner of the Sheffield Handicap. A Lull After Friday's Storm of Athletic Events. il^l'K^LL those interested in general ath- Mv letic sports and pastimes have had •liNSi' ample opportunity during the week to fully satisfy their individual special fancies. With the exception of a sanguinary and fatal slogging match to a finish, every prominent sport could have been witnessed on the Fourth, and he who was not pleased must have in- deed been hard to satisfy. Such full and detailed accounts of last Friday's games were given in 'I'm: Call yesterday that there is nothing to be added. After a storm theie always comes a lull, and from now on for some little time there will be a season of quietness in athletic circles, outside of the club boxing exhibitions. The California Athletic Club is said to bare decided to be the one to bell the cat ami test the power of the municipal and State authorities in stopping the glove con- tests, whether for a money prize, a medal, or simply for honor. Next Wednesday night will be a most eventful one for the clubs. Then it will be decided, according to the latest on dit, whether tbey will con- tinue to flourish as in the past, or go out of existence. The California Club's plan is said to be to at once bring matters to a head on the evening above named by giving a glove contest at its rooms. It is expected that the principals, seconds, referee, time- .per, club officials and a number of the audience will bu arrested as soon as the contest begins. All hands will at once be released on bends, such arrangements bavins already been made. The club's lawyers will press the case in the Police Court. If the defend- ants are held to answer and convicted it will probably mean a disbandment of all the athletic clubs. If acquitted the exhibi- tions will be resumed as in the past. Such, nt least, is the schedule said to have been mapped out by the club, It is fullyrecog- nized by the club that something must be done and that at once to determine its standing. If it can give no more exhibi- tions the club's main object no longer exists, as itis freely admitted that it is only the contests that attract tbe members and keep tliem ou the subscription rolls. As the say- ing Is: "No glove contests, no California Athletic Club." An attempt, however, may be made to substitute wrestling matches for the glove- fights. If made it is certain to prove a failure. The public of San Francisco ha* too vivid a recollection of wrestling fakes ii. all their glory, as given it few years ago, ever to . are again enough for them to eveu cross the .street to witness the most cele- brated champions contend for supremacy. ATHLETICS. General uracil. Over the Olympic Club's Games. As far as the contests were concerned at the late Olympic games the meeting was a great success. Captain Jordan ran the games off promptly aud his handicapping was excellent. In the 300-yard, Kurtick, Espiuosa, Collins, Grand and Foster nil showed a marked improvement in their running. Foster cicaily proved that he is becoming a master at the hurdles, and should he keep up his present form, MoffiU and Furcell will not be able to keep in the youngster's company at the championships. P. D. Skillmau of New York ran the two miles in 10:19 breaking the Coast record. Ifhe had been in go..d trim lie should have won the two miles from Cassldy, «ho was conceded 135 yards' start. Skilliuan's best time for two miles is 9:44. The Olympic Club will undoubtedly present Skiflman with a record medal for his performance. Charley Jeiliuek proved at the Olympic Club games that he is the speediest young- ster turned out this year. The 100-yard handicap race was an excellent win for him, he running equal to 10 3-3 seconds. The Olympic Club will hold a field day on September Sth or tub, when all the best amateurs on the Coast will be entered. Every time Schifferstein jumps he strains himself, and he had to give up the idea of breaking his record on the Fourth on that account. C. H. Sherrill, the crack Yale sprinter, will be an absentee from the championship games. The injury which he sustained in the 100-yard dash at the New York Ath- letic Club games is so serious that lie is un- able to move about except with the aid of crutches. The Alameda Olympic Club will shortly give a "ladies' night" exhibition, when some of the best amateur and professional talent on the Coast willappear. The P. C. A. A. A. has arranged the fol- lowing programme, to be decided on Sep- tember 17th, at the State Fair iv Sacra- mento, entries for which will be receiver! at the Olympic Club: Four hundred and forty yard run, scratch; one-mile walk, handicap: half-mile run, scratch; two-mile run, handicap; 220-yard handicap; limning high jump, handicap; putting the 10- --ooi.il -hot, handicap; Uliy-y.irdiuu, scratch.

Jordan of the New York Athletic Club, v.. recently won the general athletic champion- ship of America, Is, according to some of his f i lend.', anxious to extend his laurels by defeat- ing some crack professional for a laige amount of money. Just how Itcan bo arranged Is difficult to say. for there Is no professional champion, although many of tills class would jump at the first lavoi able opportunity to make ii match with dan and gain the notoriety by such a move, II nut money. At a programme consisting of an equal number of runs, jumps, weights and hurdles, Jordan would be dllllcult P. beat aud iiis doubtful If such ath- letes as H. M. Johnson, I*. J. (irlffln, D. Al. Sul- livan or T. Altken could defeat him. It is rumored that 11. M.

The fourth Sheffield handicap foot-races, under the auspices of the. California Foot- racing Association, were held at Central Park yesterday. The attendance was not as large as on previous occasions, although tlie racing was very good, all ot the contest- ants being in excellent form. The stretch was 189 yards. As ou the oc- casion of the races last month, Peter Jack- son acted as starter. Jim Acton, the wrestler, was the official liandicapper, Billy" Jordan was judge, and Edward Evatt time-keeper. In the first heat were E. R. Dobbins, O. Connors and G. Bartels. It was won by Bartels, who had a handicap of 29% yards. Dobbins bad 19 yards and Connors 30 yards. The time was 15 1-5 seconds. A. le Grande, 23VJ yards, and C. Morrow, 2f.!4 yards, and W. J. Farmer, 20 yards, started in the second heat. The former was the winner in I*24-5 seconds. In the third heat were J. P. Haughn, 20 1 / 4 yards: L. A. Clinton, 21 yards; T. J. Kiley, 20 yards, and W. Little, 20 yards, ltiley won with Clinton a close second. Time, 12 2-5 seconds. The fourth heat was won by D. E. Fletcher. 24 yards, with F. Kendal, 25% cards, Second; George la Blanche was third. Time, 12 4-5 seconds. The fifth heat was closely contested be- tween 11. M. Johnson, 10 yards, and J. Bee- nan, 30 yards. Heenan won by a scratch in 12 1-5 seconds. Although there were lour entries for the sixth heat, only Ed Tiers made an appear- ance, He had a walk-over. B. Campbell was the winner of the sev- enth heat, withH. Martinas a good second. Time, 12 4-5 seconds. The eighth heat was between C. A. El- dridge, 28 yards, and W. A. Kendrlcks, the veteran champion, 34 yards. Hendricks won the heat. Time, 13 seconds. In the finals Messrs. Tiers, Kiley, Bar- tels and Fletcher started in the lirst heat. Fletcher lost a yard by a false start. Kiley and Fletcher came in, neck and neck, and a dead heat was declared. In the second heat Le Grande, Heenan, Campbell and Kendricks started. Be Grande came in first with Campbell second. The time was 11 4-3 seconds. There was considerable interest mani- fested in the final beat in which were LvGrande, Campbell, Kiley and Bartels. Campbell was the favorite anil won the heat easily in 1- seconds. Campbell was second, Kiley third and Bartels fourth. The prizes were distributed as follows: First winner, Sl3u; second, (40; third, £20; fourth, Slo; to winners of heats, 530, to be divided. AMONG 1111* OARSMEN. Waves or Discussion Over Ihe itesults of the Kegattn. The excitement of the regatta over, the oarsmen have settled down to every-day af- fairs. The South End amateur four chafe considerably over defeat by the Ariels, but promise to come to the scratch next time in much better form. The amateur champion cup has been won twice each by the South End and Ariel clubs. Should either of these clubs win it again, it will become their property. Edward Heenan of the Pioneers has pur- chased the historic craft "County Sligo" from Mike Long. Heenan intends to go after Stokes, the winner of Friday's single scull race. Speaking of O'Connor's defeat by Stans- bury, the sculling championship is* likely to remain for some time where llanlau left it. Of the leu men who compose Yale's champion crew all but two are 0 feet and over in height. The lightest man is bow, 159 pounds, and the heaviest. No. 0, is 18. pounds. The average weight of the crew is 173J4 pcunds, or just six ounces heavier than their late opponents, the Harvurds, who averaged 112 7 pounds. Advices from i-ngland are that Pasotto, the American amateur, is in .splendid fix for tbe race on July 9th at Henley on the Thames. Uaulan, Teenier, Hosmer, Gaudaur, Lee, Ten Kyk and Hamm have entered for the Duluth _ Superior regatta on July 21st to nib. The purse for the single-scull race is $2990, divided as follows: First, $1750; sec- ond, 9300* third. 9400 Double sculls, the winners will receive 91000, the secoud crew 9990 and the third $310. Four-oared shell, first boat, 91000; second, SOOO, and $300 to the third. The course is pronounced one of '.lie finest in the world. ' The professional single-scull race last Fri- day converted Charles Peterson to the theory that in order to win a fellow must have as good a boat as his opponent. Char- ley says that he had an old bulk, and when lie biiuck the rough water off the cattle wharf he became more anxious to elude Cor. Eaton than win lirst money. Some of the boys who were looking at the race are of the opinion that Groivuey pushed V una "Pete so haid that the latter lost his head and tumbled out of his boat. THE KING. Carney's Challenge for the Light-Height Cll-impI on sill p. Locally matters are quiet— very quiet in boxing circles. Allthe champions, present, would-be and have-been, are keeping as snug as mice, and to talk match to them now is almost as deep au insult as asking them what they do now for a living. Joe Chuyiiski will fight George Godfrey, providing the Gladstone club of Boston consents to offer a purse sufficiently large. He says he will go East in September or October ii the arrangements are satisfac- tory. Joe McAuliffeand Billy Madden are the guests of "Pony" Moore at his suburban resilience' on Fiuchiey road, Loudon. They have been dined by the Pelican Club fel- lows, and McAuliffe seems to have made an excellent impression among the sporting gentlemen. Jem Carney, who is safely out of Chief Crowley's jurisdiction, and therefore quite bold, has issued the following challenge: 1 willlight any man In the world for (2500 up, a Queensberry rule Ugh', ami let my $500,n0w up be covered; or I will allow any mau In the world lour pounds and light prize-ring rules, and will allow any man In Australia or America $500 lor exoeuses. lam 38 years of age last November, but 1 -til! think 1 can lick any man In creation at 134 pouuds, and shall uot be convinced other- wise until 1 meet my master, whom 1 have uot seen. Anyway, I willleave my depositor £50u up. and by covering it any man in the winId Can bave a match for i 2500 a side and the title ot light-weight champion of the world, which highlyearned honor 1 intend to uphold so long as 1 possess tile stienglh and skill. Possibly Jack McAuliffe is the man that Carney is bunting for. Ed Smith of Denver and George Godfrey have been offered a S2OOO match by the Puri- tan Club, -smith lias already accepted. Sullivan nud Muldoon are again fighting with their mouths. McAuliffeand Kelly have agreed to fight in the rooms of the Ormonde Club next au- tumn for a purse of (2000, $500 to be for- feited to McAuliffeif there is any foul play on the part of Slavin. Lord Lonsdale is the stakeholder. McAuliffe receives $500 expense!. The Pelican Club of London is trying to match George Dixon, who defeated Nunc Wallace, with Cal McCarthy, for the ban- tam-weight championship of the world. The club lias offered a SSOOO purse. The following speaks for itself and also quite loudly for the Niobrarians: Niobrara; Near, The citizens of this place willraise a purse of $10,000, and possibly a larger sum, for Jobu L. Sullivan aud I'eter Jackson to bailie for. We suggest thai the light shall be fought ou the laud lying south of the forty-third parallel and be- tween Die Missouri and Nebiaska rivers, near tins place. This laud is not under the com nil of either Nebraska or Dakota; in fact is no man's land, so far as the Government Is concerned, and the mill could be had wilhout the least fear ol auy trouble as to prosecutions. This place can be reached by cither the Northwestern Ol Chica- go!', Milwaukee and bt. Paul railroads. CITIZENS* COJI.MITTKK OF NlOßltAllA, NEBIi. Till ROD. Fish Commissioners Will Sleet to In- vestigate Charges. The New York Forest and Stream evi- dently considers the salmon as being quite a rare bird iv the eastern portion of New York, it has the following item in its last edition": a fine pair of salmon were seen last we k dis- ling themselves in a pool below the rails near the mouth of ltondout Cieek, which flows into the Hudson Kiver. They remained there two days, elia-ing oue another aiound the pool and cv. to the very edge of the bank. They were undoubtedly male and female aud lv search of a spawulug-bed. Playful, giddy things! The Tiburou fishing grounds appear to be played out. Smelt are running very freely at Sausalito ami at the old Oakland wharf. Rockcod are alarmingly scarce this season, chiefly on account of the very wet winter, Owing to the heavy flow of fresh water into the bay from the surrounding country, the rockcod have abandoned their old grounds, and itis but very recently that tbo bay an- glers have been at ail successful in making fair catches. The Fish Commissioners will hold a meet- ing on Tuesday afternoon, to consider charges made that some of the deputies are neglectful of their duties, drawing double salaries and augmenting their expeuse ac- counts over the limit. thk GUN. Pigeon Shoot of the Alta Gun Club at B.iy View. The Alta Gun Club shot a blue-rock pig- eon match for a purse at the Ray View Four-Mile House on Friday. The following is the score at fiftybirds each : L. Holden 45, L. Urbais 44. J. Roach 41, W. Griffin 40. Griffin and Roach will shoot a match for $50 on Sunday next. The California Gcrmania and Eintracht Sciiuetzen clubs will meet at Harbor View to-day for their monthly shoot. The local rill. men, I'liilo Jacoby, Utschig, Kulils and others, are In R.rlin, Germany, and will poll triggers to-day at the grand Bunilscliiitz. open to all competitors. The Shooting and Fishing Journal of Bos- ton says : It is confidently expected that tho team contest, America vs. Germany, will be won by the New York Independents. The team will probably be Gus Zniiuier- maun, R. Walther, D. Miller, G. llorurig- hausen, A. Rcrgerow. I'liiloJacoby, Alex Stein, Gebhard Kraus, E. Fischer, J. Utschig and R. Basse. The San Francisco Gruetli Shooting Sec- tion will hold a prize shoot at Harbor View, on -Sunday, August tilth. In cash prizes alone 5257 will be offered. Mugan of San Diego has challenged Mar- tinez Chick, the champion wing shot, to a contest for the Peters medal. They will shoot twenty-six singles and twelve doubles. Chick has allowed a handicap of three yards.' He has already won the medal four times and if successful in this match he will retain it for good. - C. Mcllish has challenged J. Bruns, who won the Selby blue-rock medal ou Sun- day last, and the match will be shot on Sunday, July 27th, at the Lincoln Gun Club grounas, Alameda Mole. The Beck-Elliott match for the American field champion wing-shot cup, now held by Beck, will be shot for at Indianapolis, Ind., August 4, 1880.

Kennel Notes. The special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, England, interviewed Prince Bismarck lately at Friedriclisruhe. In speaking of the Prince's' noted dogs he says; 1entered a long, narrow drawing-room, In the center of which stood his Highness talking lo the Princess and another lady, the fourth and lifili members of the group being two line Danish hounds, one a singularly handsome black dog named Tyres, after the old original "Relclis- Huud" of world-wide celebrity in connection with his soli lied attempt to throttle Prince Uort. chakotf shortly idler the Hint meeting of the Beilln Congiess. Tyres I was gathered to his forefathers at a good old age some ihree years ago; he died painlessly InIlls master's bed-room, conscious of the latter! presence to the very last. To quote the Prince's words: "A lew minutes befoie Ihe falthlul old dog died I spoke to him, He nad not the stiength to wag his tall, but lie opened tin eyes and as he looked at me au ex- pression came over bis face that told me as plainly as if lie bad spoken that lie recognized me ami wished me well." Tyias 11 was the gift of the present Emperor and 13 "more even tem- pered, but of less strongly marked individuality" than his pi edecessor. The oilier stately bound, a glossy slate-colored female of great stieugib and beauty, is own granddaughter to the famous "Realm Dog." to which she bears a Ktroug re- semblance. Both dogs, as soon as they caught sight of me, advanced hurriedly, bent an In- vestigation, widen 1 rejoice to say turned out satisfactory to me as well as to themselves. It is stated that Sir John Lester Kuye lias brought to his ranch in the Northwest some Belgium and French w.df bounds, which do great work ivkilling coyotes. The Wheal. The Bay City Wheelmen, In conduction with some of the other bicycle organiza- tions, will probably make a big effort before long to secure good training grounds with a suitable track for the uso of the local wheelmen. It is certainly a disgrace that a city like San Francisco, with a population of 300,000 people, should be without a good bicycle track, especially when the Dumber of riders in it is so great- Charles Kluge, the Eastern bicyclist, will go into training at once aid willshortly at- tempt to establish a new American twenty- live mile record on the Irvingtou Milburu course. Coursing at Ocean View. The coursing was continued yesterday at Ocean View, but the attendance was very slim, uot more than thirty or thirty-five people being present. Au eight-dug stake was run off, and .me really good trials were witnessed. The amount of money iv the stakes was not large— about 520. T. J. Cronln's Jack Dempscy turned up as the winner, beating Cauovan's Examiner in a good trial. Sundries. A. B. Suit of Suitiand, Md.. and C. E. Brenian of San Francisco, are completing arrangements for a big cocking main to take place in San Francisco next December, for $260 a battle and S3OOO on the main. The Alpine Club will shortly place- cricket and foot-ball teams in the field. There are half a dozen line cricket-players In the club and the balance of a team can easily be picked from among the rest of the members. __^________^_ ' BASK STATEMENTS.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Campbell brought out from the tanks in the Central Statiou a prisoner who gave the name of William McGreggor. The charge of at- tempted burglary was preferred against him, he having been detected at au early hour yes- terday morning attempting with a com- panion to break Into a book-store at the corner of Grant avenue and Stock- ton place, aud to secure him the policeman had to let the other go. When searched, a jimmy, pinch-bar, dark lantern, screw-driver and oilier irons of his nefari- ous trade were found upon him. At tbe station the prisoner refused to give the name of his pal, and said that since ho (McGreggor) had only been out of San Cjuentin a little while, where lie had served a twelve years' sentence, lie would not try to save himself by giving another up. McGreggor was sent to San Quentin from this city for burglary, and itIs said that bis real name is Ryan. He was convicted under the alias of McGreggor. COAST ITEMS.

At the Fourth of July conference held be- tween Postmaster Backus and the heads of the various departments under him, Barlow. Dyer, Superintendent of the Money Order Division, reported that he urgently needed more room and additional clerks in his di- vision. Under the present arrangement the public is badly served, the clerks can- not do the business fast enough and there is not enough space for either. . There is no security for those handling money, as each clerk should have his desk protected by a wire railing completely enclosing it. D. C. Owen, Superintendent of the Reg- istry Division, asked for more room and ad- ditional help, showing by the aid of dia- grams how the present crowded space ren- dered accurate work very difficult A. M. Cox, Superintendent of the city delivery system, said that he needed the following additional clerks : One clerk to Superin- tendent; two clerks to general delivery; three clerks to Searchers' Department; lour clerks to Box Department; six clerks to City Distributing Department; one clerk to Dead Letter and Inquiry Department; one clerk each to Stations A, B, C and D. He also asked for forty additional car- riers, which he claimed are necessary to place the service on an equality with other cities; thirty of these would be placed on foot routes and ten to be mounted (horse and cart). Two of the mounted carriers would be used for the relief of Potrero and South San Francisco; two would be used as collectors: two for outside territory not now delivered, and four for the collection and delivery of newspapers and packages. Mr. Cox further recommended that twenty of the large new style boxes for receipt of packages and newspapers be placed in posi- tion to be collected by the four carriers to be detailed for that purpose. He also rec- ommended that there be established six ad- ditional brunch postoffices, fifty additional stamp agencies and ten new sub-stations and that the stamp clerk be immediately provided with an assistant. lv regard to space Mr. Cox advised that nn enclosed porch be erected on the side of the postoffice next the Appraiser's Building for the use of his department, aud recommended minor changes such as the moving of the stamp window. . Postmaster Backus summed up the needed improvements as the requirement of one clerk in the stamp-window, three in the money-order department, one in the regis- try department, eleven in the mailing de- partment, twenty-two in the city delivery department, forty new carriers and addi- tional allowance tor ten horses; also six additional branch Postoffices, fifty addi- tional stamp agencies and ten sub-stations. Mr. Backus, iv urging the improvements upou the attention of First Assistant Post- master-General Clarkson, said that ho knew it would be necessary for him to make requisition upon the custodian of the building, Collector Phelps, for the addi- tional room, but that lie hoped General Clarkson would lay the necessity of the changes before the Secretary of the Treas- ury, so that he would readily consent to the alterations asked for.

The children ol St. Francis Day Home on Powell street and of the Sacred Heart Day Home on Franklin street had, under the charge of the Sisters of the Holy Family, a gala day last Wednesday at Golden Gate Park, Two cars were kindly given by the North Reach aud Mission Railroad Com- pany for the special convenience of the children of St. Francis Home and were tilled with merry little ones, whose bright faces peeping through the windows at- tracted the attention of the passers-by. From Eighth and Market streets a pro- cession wits formed to tbe convent gate on Hayes street, where their little frieuds of the Sacred Heart Home awaited them. Three Hayes-street cars conveyed the picnickers to the park, where they speut a considerable time in the conservatory. Then all went to the play-ground, where they enjoyed themselves until lunch time, when their keen appetites were gratified by the ample lunch provided for them by their kind friends and which the sisters spread out on long table-cloths under the trees at a short distance from the play-ground. 'After lunch they again returned to play. About 4 o'clock they wended their way once more through the park to -the cars, more tired tbau when they entered, but filled with a joy pure aud innocent, the recollection of which will be sweet to recall in after years. The many visitors at the park that day remarked the appearance and discipline of the little cues, who showed the most un- questioning obedience, which is no small tribute of praise to such a large number of children, the majority of whose ages ranged from 3 to 7 years, a number beiug still younger. For the joyful day spent by their charges the sisters wish to express their sincere gratitude to all who assisted them so generously in providing for them. TIIE WRIT OF CERTIORARI. Lawyers Scored fur Making an Ignorant Use uf the Same- In a decision handed down yesterday in the case of Sayers vs. the Superior Court of this city and county, the Supreme Court took the occasion to mildly score the prac- tice of careless attorneys, who bring, for Hie purpose of correcting mere errors of law, writs of certiorari which are intended only to test the question of jurisdiction. The Supreme Court expresses the hope that they will not again so offend, since it causes needless labor and annoyance. In the case in question such a writ was asked for to present the Superior Court from punishing Attorney Savers for contempt in not return- ing a $-00 fee when ordered to do so, Sayers claiming that the ".court had no legal right to make the order. The Supreme Court denied the writ. A dally average, or 847 want nils. In TIIE (ALL last week. It Is the only want -.1 turn. For Assaulting a Policeman. Two pugilistically inclined bakers.Charles Schoeller and Frederick Wagner, became involved in a dispute yesterday morning on Howard street, near Sixteenth, and a free and easy catch-as-catch-can ensued. Officer Cotton came abruptly on the scene and the bellgerents were taken in tow. On the way to the Seventeenth-street Station Otto Max- fisher, another baker, tried to aid the pris- oners to escape. A vigorous blowing of whistles and Officer Ennis responded, but not before Cotton had been cut in the baud with a pocket-knife. Maxfisher was then taken into custody and charged with an as- sault with a deadly weapon. THE CALL brines the best results to want ads. It is the only want medium.

" For two years 1 was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and liver complaint. I doctored a long time and the medicines prescribed. in nearly every case, only aggravated the disease. An apothecary advised me to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I did so, and was cured at a cost of $5. Since that time it has been my family medicine, and sickness has become a stranger to our household. I believe it to be the best medicine on earth." —P. F. McNulty, Hackinun, .29 Summer st, Lowell, Mass. FOR DEBILITY, Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi- nates in impoverished blood.- "I was a great sufferer from a low condition of the blood and general debility, becoming finally, so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth- ing that I did for the complaint helped me so much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles of which restored me to health and strength.

THE FIELDOF SPORT.

An Eventful Week for the Slog-ging Clubs.

Campbell Winner of the Sheffield Handicap.A Lull After Friday's Storm of

Athletic Events.

il^l'K^LLthose interested in general ath-Mvletic sports and pastimes have had•liNSi' ample opportunity during theweek to fully satisfy their individualspecial fancies. With the exceptionof a sanguinary and fatal slogging

match to a finish, every prominent sport

could have been witnessed on the Fourth,and he who was not pleased must have in-deed been hard to satisfy. Such full anddetailed accounts of last Friday's gameswere given in 'I'm: Callyesterday thatthere is nothing to be added. Aftera stormtheie always comes a lull, and from now onfor some little time there willbe a seasonof quietness in athletic circles, outside ofthe club boxing exhibitions.

The California Athletic Club is said tobare decided to be the one to bell the catami test the power of the municipal andState authorities instopping the glove con-tests, whether for a money prize, a medal,or simply for honor. Next Wednesdaynight will be a most eventful one for theclubs. Then itwill be decided, accordingto the latest on dit, whether tbey will con-tinue to flourish as in the past, or go out ofexistence. The California Club's plan issaid to be to at once bring matters to ahead on the evening above named by givinga glove contest at its rooms. Itis expectedthat the principals, seconds, referee, time-

.per, club officials and a number of theaudience will bu arrested as soon as thecontest begins.

All hands will at once be released onbends, such arrangements bavins alreadybeen made. The club's lawyers will press

the case in the Police Court. Ifthe defend-ants are held to answer and convicted itwillprobably mean a disbandment of allthe athletic clubs. Ifacquitted the exhibi-tions willbe resumed as in the past. Such,

nt least, is the schedule said to have beenmapped out by the club, Itis fullyrecog-nized by the club that something must be

done and that at once to determine itsstanding. Ifit can give no more exhibi-tions the club's main object no longer exists,as itis freely admitted that it is only thecontests that attract tbe members and keeptliem ou the subscription rolls. As the say-ing Is: "No glove contests, no CaliforniaAthletic Club."

An attempt, however, may be made tosubstitute wrestling matches for the glove-fights. If made it is certain to prove afailure. The public of San Francisco ha*too vivid a recollection of wrestling fakesii. all their glory, as given it few years ago,ever to. are again enough for them to eveucross the .street to witness the most cele-brated champions contend for supremacy.

ATHLETICS.

General uracil. Over the OlympicClub's Games.

As far as the contests were concerned atthe late Olympic games the meeting was agreat success. Captain Jordan ran thegames off promptly aud his handicappingwas excellent. In the 300-yard, Kurtick,Espiuosa, Collins, Grand and Foster nilshowed a marked improvement in theirrunning. Foster cicaily proved that he isbecoming a master at the hurdles, andshould he keep up his present form, MoffiUand Furcell willnot be able to keep in theyoungster's company at the championships.

P. D. Skillmau of New York ran the twomiles in 10:19 breaking the Coast record.Ifhe had been ingo..d trim lie should havewon the two miles from Cassldy, «ho wasconceded 135 yards' start. Skilliuan's besttime for two miles is 9:44. The OlympicClub will undoubtedly present Skiflmanwitha record medal for his performance.

Charley Jeiliuek proved at the OlympicClub games that he is the speediest young-ster turned out this year. The 100-yardhandicap race was an excellent win forhim, he running equal to 10 3-3 seconds.

The Olympic Club willhold a field day onSeptember Sth or tub, when all the bestamateurs on the Coast willbe entered.

Every time Schifferstein jumps he strainshimself, and he had to give up the idea ofbreaking his record on the Fourth on thataccount.

C. H. Sherrill, the crack Yale sprinter,willbe an absentee from the championshipgames. The injury which he sustained inthe 100-yard dash at the New York Ath-letic Club games is so serious that lie is un-able to move about except with the aid ofcrutches.

The Alameda Olympic Club will shortlygive a "ladies' night" exhibition, whensome of the best amateur and professionaltalent on the Coast willappear.

The P. C. A. A. A. has arranged the fol-lowing programme, to be decided on Sep-tember 17th, at the State Fair iv Sacra-mento, entries for which willbe receiver! atthe Olympic Club:

Four hundred and forty yard run, scratch;one-mile walk, handicap: half-mile run, scratch;two-mile run, handicap; 220-yard handicap;limninghigh jump, handicap; putting the 10-

--ooi.il -hot, handicap; Uliy-y.irdiuu, scratch.Four watches agreed on Luther X.Carey's

111-5 seconds for 110 yards at the NewYorkAthletic Club games.

The New York Turf, Field and Farmsays:

A. A. Jordan of the New York Athletic Club,v.. recently won the general athletic champion-ship of America, Is, according to some of hisfilend.', anxious to extend his laurels by defeat-ing some crack professional for a laigeamount of money. Just how Itcan bo arrangedIs difficult to say. for there Is no professionalchampion, although many of tills class wouldjumpat the first lavoiable opportunity to makeiimatch with dan and gain the notoriety bysuch a move, IInut money. At a programmeconsisting of an equal number of runs,jumps, weights and hurdles, Jordan wouldbe dllllcult P. beat aud iiis doubtful Ifsuch ath-

letes as H. M. Johnson, I*.J. (irlffln,D.Al. Sul-livan or T. Altken could defeat him.It is rumored that 11. M. Johnson, the

POSTOFFICE NEEDS.The Heads of Divisions Report

ou Required Improvements.

Atthe Fourth of July conference held be-tween Postmaster Backus and the heads ofthe various departments under him, Barlow.Dyer, Superintendent of the Money OrderDivision, reported that he urgently neededmore room and additional clerks inhis di-vision. Under the present arrangementthe public is badly served, the clerks can-not do the business fast enough and thereis not enough space for either. . There is nosecurity for those handling money, as eachclerk should have his desk protected by awire railing completely enclosing it.

D. C. Owen, Superintendent of the Reg-

istry Division, asked formore room and ad-ditionalhelp, showing by the aid of dia-grams how the present crowded space ren-dered accurate work very difficult A. M.Cox, Superintendent of the city deliverysystem, said that he needed the followingadditional clerks : One clerk to Superin-tendent; two clerks to general delivery;three clerks to Searchers' Department;lour clerks to Box Department; six clerksto City Distributing Department; one clerkto Dead Letter and Inquiry Department;one clerk each to Stations A, B, C and D.

He also asked for forty additional car-riers, which he claimed are necessary toplace the service on an equality with othercities; thirty of these would be placed onfoot routes and ten to be mounted (horseand cart). Two of the mounted carrierswould be used for the relief of Potrero andSouth San Francisco; two would be used ascollectors: two for outside territory notnow delivered, and four for the collectionand delivery of newspapers and packages.

Mr.Cox further recommended that twentyof the large new style boxes for receipt ofpackages and newspapers be placed inposi-tion to be collected by the four carriers tobe detailed for that purpose. He also rec-ommended that there be established six ad-ditional brunch postoffices, fiftyadditionalstamp agencies and ten new sub-stationsand that the stamp clerk be immediatelyprovided with an assistant. lvregard tospace Mr. Cox advised that nn enclosedporch be erected on the side of the postofficenext the Appraiser's Building for the use ofhis department, aud recommended minorchanges such as the moving of the stamp

window. .Postmaster Backus summed up the needed

improvements as the requirement of oneclerk in the stamp-window, three in themoney-order department, one in the regis-try department, eleven in the mailing de-partment, twenty-two in the city deliverydepartment, forty new carriers and addi-tional allowance tor ten horses; also sixadditional branch Postoffices, fifty addi-tional stamp agencies and ten sub-stations.

Mr.Backus, iv urging the improvementsupou the attention of First Assistant Post-master-General Clarkson, said that hoknew it would be necessary for him tomake requisition upon the custodian of thebuilding, Collector Phelps, for the addi-tional room, but that lie hoped GeneralClarkson would lay the necessity of thechanges before the Secretary of the Treas-ury, so that he would readily consent tothe alterations asked for.

CHILDRKN AT PLAY.A Merry Day Speut With the Sisters In

Golden Gate Park.

The children olSt. Francis Day Home onPowell street and of the Sacred Heart DayHome on Franklin street had, under thecharge of the Sisters of the Holy Family, agala day last Wednesday at Golden GatePark, Two cars were kindly given by theNorth Reach aud Mission Railroad Com-pany for the special convenience of thechildren of St. Francis Home and weretilled with merry little ones, whose brightfaces peeping through the windows at-tracted the attention of the passers-by.

From Eighth and Market streets a pro-cession wits formed to tbe convent gate onHayes street, where their little frieuds ofthe Sacred Heart Home awaited them.

Three Hayes-street cars conveyed thepicnickers to the park, where they speut aconsiderable time in the conservatory.Then all went to the play-ground, wherethey enjoyed themselves until lunch time,when their keen appetites were gratified bythe ample lunch provided for them by theirkind friends and which the sisters spreadout on long table-cloths under the trees at ashort distance from the play-ground. 'Afterlunch they again returned to play. About4 o'clock they wended their way once morethrough the park to -the cars, more tiredtbau when they entered, but filled with ajoy pure aud innocent, the recollection ofwhich willbe sweet to recall inafter years.

The many visitors at the park that dayremarked the appearance and discipline ofthe little cues, who showed the most un-questioning obedience, which is no smalltribute of praise to such a large number ofchildren, the majority of whose ages rangedfrom 3 to 7 years, a number beiug stillyounger. For the joyfulday spent by theircharges the sisters wish to express theirsincere gratitude to all who assisted themso generously in providing for them.

FOR DYSPEPSIA,

Ayer's SarsaparillaIsan effective remedy, as numerous testimo-nials conclusively prove. "

For two years1 was a constant sufferer from dyspepsiaand liver complaint. Idoctored a longtime and the medicines prescribed. innearlyevery case, only aggravated the disease.An apothecary advised me to use Ayer'sSarsaparilla. Idid so, and was curedat a cost of $5. Since that time it hasbeen my family medicine, and sickness hasbecome a stranger to our household. Ibelieve itto be the best medicine on earth."—P. F. McNulty, Hackinun, .29 Summer st,Lowell, Mass.

FOR DEBILITY,

Ayer's SarsaparillaIs a certain cure, when the complaint origi-nates in impoverished blood.- "Iwas agreat sufferer from a low condition of theblood and general debility, becoming finally,so reduced that Iwas unfit for work. Noth-ing that Idid for the complaint helped meso much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a fewbottlesof which restored me tohealth and strength.Itake every opportunity to recommend thismedicine in similar cases."— C. Evick, 14E.Main St., Chillicothe, Ohio. :

FOR ERUPTIONS VAnd all disorders originating in impurity ofthe blood, such as boils, carbuncles, pimples,

-blotches, salt-rheum, scald-head, scrofuloussores, and the like, take only .Ayer's Sarsaparilla
