some lively music whilst marching up Fourth street to the park, followed by some of the visitors. The grounds looked very pretty and bright with flowers, but most of the picnickers preferred to remain in the town, as few of them tnrned up at the park during the afternoon. The boxing match came off at 3 o'clock, at the Park, between Billy Edwards and Gus Brown. The latter was floored, to the great amnsement of the spectators. A wrestling match between the same parties followed, and afterwards two professionals gave a series of performances on the trapeze, and some contortion feats which were greatly appreciated.

The event of tbe day was Whistler's walk on the water. The bath in-closnre was filled with an excited crowd, who watched him arranging his "boat" shoes with great interest, but when he began to waddle across the placid pool, the Santa Rosan, who did not appreciate the difficulty of the task, laughed and jeered loudly. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in dancing until time to depart, and the party returned to the city by the 8 o'clock boat first on a slnrle, went Co tecond on a wild pitch and tame home on Mullet's drive to the pitcher, who muffed. In the third inning the visitor made two runs by several next usable error. Lawton baited to Robertson, b.o erred, an 4 went to second on Robertson's overtnrow Powers, and tallied on Mullee'a bad throw to third.

Levy was here fined 50 by the umpire for Interfering with Anderson. Sweeney al reached first on an error of Anderson, sndi scored on Incell hit for two bags. The home club also scored this inning. Meagher batted a slow one to third, snd by dctteroui running reached first He stole second and went to thir on a wilJ pitch, and scored on Sweeney's error. In the fourth inning the Haverlys added two more runs, a'so on errors.

Donahue batted to Newbert, who erred. Sweenev struck to Anderson, who let the ball pass him. Newbert picked it np and made an overthrow to first, which let In Donahue and Sweeney. The borne club made the score even in tbe sixth inning. Anderson hit for a single and Muliee did the same.

McLaughlin batted to Incell. who threw to Sweeney to head off Anderson, but he erred. Andervon, while attempting to steal home, was it cut Newbert batted to Incell, and he threw to Dennett The rnnner ran into the axe man, hich made the latter anrrv. Bennett held the ball, and. not watching the' game, allowed Mul-letnd McLaughlin to score.

Th game now took an interesting turn. For the lat five innings the visitors hauled hard score, tut failed. In the last inning it looked aa If they would surely get a man over the plate. wh hy Flint and Meagher prevented this. Bennett hit for a single and stole second.

Hanley flew to Newbert luce 11 drove the sphere out to Flint and tnat fine thrower McLaughlin in time to catch Bennett at the home plate. Fisher made a clear hit In Meagher's diit-Ict. and Incell made a desperate rnn for home, bnt he was met with the ball in Malice's hand, which was fielded to him beautifully by Meagher. This ended the game with a victory for the Alias by a score of 5 to 4. There was a great crowd in attendance, and the seating capacity was texed to its utmost.

A Stockton delegation witnessed the contest The score is as follows: ALT, IB. B. BIT. BS. PO.

Cannon won the match, which was of two in three falls. He lost the first round in 12 minutes and 4i seconds, but gained the two others in 11:25 and 6:30, respectively.

Each fall he won was with the strangling hold, which roved a revelation to tbe Australians, many of hem declaring their belief that such a grip was not fair. In a letter to Mike Smith of this city. Cannon states that he is doing very well financially. He has boomed wrestling high, and he cleared up $4,500 in his match with Connor. He does not expect to return here until March or April next The Acme Athletic Club, of Oakland, will move into their new on August 1st when, assisted by the Olympic Club of this city, they will give an athletic exhibition.

The second annual picnic of the Irish-American Athletic Club will be held one week from next Sunday. In a mile run at the Bay District track, yesterday, between James O'Rourke, of the Mission, and C. E. Cron. of the Eintracht Club, for a gold medal, the former conceded Cron HO yards, and the latter won by twenty yards in 4 2-5.

W. J. Kennedy, of the Golden Gate Athletic Club, and A. H. Lean, of the Eintracht Athletic Club, are training hard for their 220-yard running race, which is expected to be one of the best-contested races of the season.

James Lahye, the winner of the middleweight championship medal of the Golden Gate Athletic Club, who broke his arm at the exhibition of the club July 1, 1SS7, will be tendered a benefit by a number of the local athletic Clubs of this city. Picnic of Columbus Guard. The second annual picnic of the Christopher Columbus Guard of Oakland was held yesterday at Schuetzen Park. The attendance was good. The chief features of the day were music and dancing.

At 4 o'clock the drawing of prizes took place. The following are the lucky numbers: 182, gold watch and chain; 1U5, necklace and locket; 63. gent's gold watch: S32. lady's gold watch; 503, pair gold earrings; S56, gent's gold ring; 679, pair bracelets; 16, earrings and lace pin; 12, silver pitcher; 517, meerschaum pipe; 728, meerschaum cigar-holder: S25, lady's gold ring; 20O, gent's scarf pin. Holders of any of these numbers can receive the prize at No.

710 Broadway, Oakland. The Swiss Picnic. The twentieth annual picnic, civil and military, of the Swiss Mutual Benevolent Society was held yesterday at Harbor View. Over 1,200 people assembled to take part in the various amusements. An excellent band was in attendance and the dancing was greatly enjoyed.

Among the events of the day may be mentioned the notable score of Charles La ge horn, who came off as the prize bowler, having; won the 36 possible points. The Oak Leaf Picnic The picnic of the members of the Oak Leaf Social Club was held yesterday afternoon at the Seaside Gardens. The number of the members, with their friends, who passed the gates amounts to about 1,200 persona This the second picnic of the Oak Leaf Social Club was in every was as successful as tbe first given, and it was the general sentiment that the day could not have been more pleasantly passed. Miscellaneous. Philo Jacoby and his party of hunters and anglers returned on Saturday last from their ten days' excursion to the headwaters of Austin creek.

In Sonoma county. On July 1st they killed three fine bucks and one the next day. The 3d of July was devoted entirely to fishing. The result of ten days' hunting was six deer, one wild cat and a large number of small game. Philo Jacoby killed a even-rattle snake, which had taken up its quarters beneath his bed.

The "king fisher," Gottschalk, never canght less than fifty-four trout in one day. In the party, besides those mentioned, were Messrs. Schubert, Muller, Blum, Bierneck, Bierwhal and Eaunsch. W. J.

The claim made by that In dice shaking it requires a pair to win has no more foundation than the claim that a full hand or fours are required to win. bank on Sundays will be deferred until her return. Fishing for black bass In Crystal Springs reservoir was temporarily closed on the 1st Inst Whether this reservoir will be opened for fishing again this season is uncertain; nor is the reason of its closing after only one month's fishing publicly known.

Both San Andreas and Pilarcitos reservoirs are open for fishing, but anglers there have not been very successful of late. It is reported that the Contra Costa Water Company are stocking their reservoir near San Leandro with black bass. The reason for this, aa stated, is to purify the water, which, when supplied to Oakland consumers, has a most undesirable color, taste and smell. The trouble is one that will not be remedied by the introduction of black bass or other fish or by the straining process through sand, as proposed. The causes are, primarily, the impurities which drain into the tributary stream from the cow pastures and the growth and annual decay of lake weeds and other vegetation.

This vegetation is never removed from this lake or reservoir, nor is it in tbe reservoirs that supply the water of this city, but is not so bad in the latter, owing to the cool ocean winds. A large areaof all these reservoirs is exposed when the water becomes lowered, but nothing is done to remove the decaying vegetation, and the water is affected thereby. San Rafael enjoys good water, because the vegetation in Lagunitas reservoir is raked out before it begins to decay, and, when dried, is removed to manure lands in lower places. Trout-fishing in the South Yuba river near Cisco is reported as being good, large catches of rainbow and Eastern trout being caught, tbe fish being generally of good size. A lot received In this city from Cisco on Tuesday were of good size, several Eastern trout weighing one and a half pounds each.

Fishing in the north fork of the American river, opposite (south) Cisco, is also reported good. The trail between Cisco is a difficult one, it taking from five to six hours for either animals or men. This trail, we hear, is under contract to be improved, so that it will take less than three hours from Cisco to the river at Hurd's soda springs. Good catches of trout are also reported from the South Yuba, about eleven miles from Emigrant Gap. This point is the lowest down on the river where the water remains clear, mining operations commencing just below that place.

The excursion trains to Sissons and other points on the line of the California and Oregon Railroad, north of Delta, which left this city on the 2d inst were very largely filled with anglers, who sought to spend their vacation on the upper Sacramento river and tributaries. -The trip was a pleasant one, but very few fish were taken. The line of tbe railroad follows closely the river, and during the time of its construction the fish were destroyed in various ways, so that the stream which formerly was the most prolific with trout is now one of the most barren waters in the State. The axiom that where civilization went the aborigines, or wild tribes, were destroyed in its path can be supplemented with another, that trout vanish before the presence of the Chinese." The railway company employed thousands of Chinese laborers in constructing its road along the upper Sacramento, aud the celestials, using giaut powder cartridges, destroyed the fish that were numerous in its waters. The railroad builders cleared the timber aloug the line by felling the trees into the river, and afterwards, to prevent these from floating down in the rainy season and carrying away its bridges, nsed dynamite and fire to destroy what threatened danger.

Between the two causes both salmon and trout vanished, and to-day the finest trout stream in the State gives no reward to the skill of anglers. The railroad is now finished and the same causes that destroyed fish will not again return, but the charm of angling that attracted hundreds to the upper Sacramento is gone. The restocking of this river with both salmon and trout is due the people of this State, and it is the direct interest as well as duty, of those who caused the destruction of the fish to replace the same at their own expense. The Fish Commissioners have a large amount of restocking to do as well as to prevent violation of law, and have very limited means to meet the expense of so doing. The attraction of tfout fishing makes a large railroad travel and hotel patronage, and both these interests should unite and take measures to restock the river with salmon and trout to its former abundance.

Some years since Charles Crocker donated to the Fish Commission a large sum we believe) to plant an additional quantity of young salmon in the Sacramento river, which was done by the late B. B. Redding and associates in office. At that time tbe railroad did not extend beyond Redding, and the number of anglers who visited the Sacramento and McCloud rivers annually were not a tenth of those who now go to those streams. If tbe Sacramento river is restocked the tide of angling travel will increase to the advantage of both railroad and hotels.

What is necessary is for the parties in interest to agree and take steps in time to secure both calmon and trout spawn. The salmon eggs can be taken from graved fish in the McCloud river in September and hatched out in December and placed in the Sacramento and tributary streams. The trout eggs can be had in February, and in April the young fish be placed in the same streams. The cost of a million salmon and half that quantity of trout eggs, hatching out the same and distributing the young fish would not exceed $2,000. Possibly a less sum would do, and if such numbers of salmon and trout were placed in the upper Sacramento, it would incite a travel and hotel custom of from ten to twenty fold that amount in the next succeeding year.

The hatchery could be established at Sissons, Every branch of sports is well represented In this week's resume, the sportsmen, apparently, having been infused with more vigor by the hot contests of the Fourth. Hunting and fishing parties are now returning from their camps with great reports of their catches and kills. The wheelmen, hardly over their good work Santa Cruz, are thinking of getting op more races. The pugilists are making affairs lively in their Circle. The oarsmen are making their clubhouses ring with the rratse of their Stocktonian friends.

Kifle shooting is at its hight THE DIAMOND FIE1D. Various Items of Newi Occurring In Itaseballdoin. Very little of interest has occurred In loca baseball cirles during the past week. The dis cussion of the race tor the pennant is about all that occupies the attention of the players. Manager Finn has been very busy endeavoring to strengthen his team, and he has done so by fol lowing the suggestion made in this column by signing Crosby, the pitcher.

The latter's work in yesterday's game proves that the suggestion was a wise one. All the Eastern games in which the Chicagos participate are watched wi'h interest by local people, who are interested in Van Haltren, and many have been disappointed because he has not been fairly tested in the box. This is no doubt due to the fact that their regular pitchers are iu good trim, and Sunday the right-fielder is ill. He will probably appear in the box in the game to-day. At Central Park.

The MeFherson Conways scored an easy victory over the Electrics yesterday at Central Park. In the first three innings not one of the Electrics crossed the plate, while their opponents piled up 7 runs. The McP. kept up the run-getting and closed the game with 22 to their opponents' 8. The playing of Kropp at first for the visitors was the feature of the game.

The score is as follows McPii. G's. Kropp, 1st Lewis, s. Finn. 2d Randolph, 3d 1.

Besides, he is whacking the ball. Walter Appleton has received a dispatch from Manager Mutrie of the New York club, stating that the members of the team are willing to come to the coast this winter, if they receive a reasonable guaranty together with a percentage of the receipts. Fresno, Cat The total number of games to be plaved by the California Baseball League are: Greeuhood Morans, 41; Haverlys and Pioneers, 40 each, and Altas, 37. The championship is worn by the club having the highest percentage at the end of the season. How about those protested games Mr.

Mone? It will look rather suspicious if he does not decide them before the end of the season; at which time he will have an opportunity to place the clubs on a level, by giving the disputed games to the clubs that are behind. The Pioneers have won two games since President Mone started off to enjoy a vacation, and they now believe that he is their Jonah. He is gone where the woodbine twineth, and if he remains there until the swallows nest again the Pioneers will have a chance to win the pennant. How easy it is to make a baseball crank! Sometimes it is a matter of but a few innings and often those who have pooh-poohed the game the most have become the greatest cranks. No sport has such an eager, enthusiastic following, the more you go the more you want to go.

We have found people who stay away simply because they are afraid of the excitemeut. There is a scheme ou foot among Eastern managers to sign players by the year, from January 1st to December 31st. This is in order to hold the players, providing the management wants the olub to come to California or any other quarter where baseball cau be played during the fall and winter. The scheme does not meet with the approval of the ball-players. Denny, the world's greatest, is keeping-right along with his reputation.

After the way in which he and Patsy found Van Haltren, while out here, under the old rules, they'll have a picnic with him nuder the new. California Spirit of the Timet. If we remember correctly, an succeeded in striking each of them out in more than one game, and if we remember right they seldom hit him safe. There Is considerable talk about Kirby, the Indianapolis pitcher, being taken with the sulks as he doesn't like the management, and that he is playing for his release. The fact of the matter is that he can't pitch.

With good support in this city last winter he was slugged unmercifully, and he pitched under the old rules, too. The Indianapolis management, tiring of his actions, sold him to Cleveland for $1,500. Next season, when the Stockton team Is in the League, the race for the pennant will be more exciting than ever. If some enterprising business man in San Jose will organize a strong team the directors will no doubt admit the Garden City into the League. There are some good ball-players in that town and the people manifest a great deal of interest in the game.

An enterprising manager would experience little ditiiculty in organizing a strong club for the League. The strongest colored team that has ever appeared in the field will make a tour through the South and to California after the close of the present season in October. The nine will include Newark's famous colored "battery," Stovey and Walker, the crack second baseman Grant and five members of the Cuban Giants' team, with Fowler" of the Binghamtons the well-known Jack Jackson as manager. The team will play great ball and undoubtedly be a drawing card. John Eagan, formerly captain of the Portlands, of Oregon, in a communication to the Examiner, states that the directors of the Northern League, 'consisting of the Portlands, Willamettes, Seattles and Victorias, are willing to offer first-class inducements to any strong club in this city to visit that section of the country next winter.

He believes that the trip would be remunerative aud enjoyable. He says that there is a baseball boom in the northern country this season. The Portlands have won the championship for three consecutive seasons, and they are now far in the lead. The Chicago correspondent of the Sporting Life has the following to say about Van Haltren He is a quick and active man between bases and plays his position well. As to his pitching, that can scarcely be fairly judged as yet.

When he has played in half a dozen games it will begin to speak for itself, and take my word for it, it will speak well. He has speed enough to make the strongest batsman careful at the plate aud a curve and drop ball that when uuder command will make monkeys of two men out of three when he begins to understand their preferences as to hight in delivery. The extent of his command can scarcely be judged as yet. He was worried and a trifle nervous in his first game, as well he might be thanks to Mr. Doescher but if the man's style and bearing Count for anything, this will quickly wear off Anson likes him aud says that in "thirty davs time he will have the three greatest pitchers in the country in Clarkson, Baldwin and Van Haltren.

The Chicago quartet rendered the following song at the reception to Mike Kelly: Michael Kelly came to town To sing a little chanson. He paid I've come with Boston beans To do op Baby Anson. Oh, I come high, bnt Yankee land With its bright shekels bought me. And though 1 didn't like to go able circumstances. They trained in heavy barge fitted no with old style pin rowlocks, and as they only arrived in Stockton the day before tbe race they had but two practice pulls in a boat entirely strange to them and fitted with swivel rowlocks.

The intense heat also interfered somewhat with their proper rest If well boated and under more favorable conditions it is the general opinion that they could reduce that time at least thirty seconds. Secretary Grownev of tbe Ariels is In active training writing up the minutes of the last meeting. Pat Brennan, John Twigg and ex-Supervisor J. D.

Pugilistic Jack Hickey, tbe well-known middle-weight pugilist, has announced his willingness to fight any man in America at 150 pounds. Arthur Chambers will back him for $1,000. It Is strange that La Blanche, the "Marine," does not come forward to answer the defl. He jumped Into Dempsey's tracks when the latter retired from the ring, and claimed tbe middleweight championship, but he cannot hold the title without fighting for it The Mitchell-Gallagher fight la booked for August 8th, near Pittsburg, Pa. Patrick, or, as he Is better known, "Reddy" Gallagher, was born In Clarksville, of Irish parents.

He stands five feet seven and three-quarters Inches and weighs, in condition. 152 pounds. In 1884 he met and defeated J. Moran at Cleveland in five minutes and twenty seconds; defeated T. Brown (colored), weighing 200 pounds, in one minute and thirty-four seconds; defeated W.

Drogan in two rounds and two minutes. Later he met J. Gallagher of Lima, Harry Park of Cleveland, James Connelly of Boston and A. R. Ramsey of Cleveland, all of whom he knocked out in short order.

He next fought Pete McCoy, and it was the latter's good fortune that the police interfered in the sixth round. Dick Collier next fell before Reddy's terrific hitting powers in fifteen secouds. The great event of his career was when he met Jack Dempscy, the "NonpareiL" It was in this battle that Dempsey had his arm broken while trying to stop one of Reddy's heavy blows. A gentleman In this city, who knows Gallagher well, describes him as being a good-natured, boyish-looking fellow with red hair and freckled face. He neither drinks liquor nor smokes cigars, keeps good hours and is ready to fight at the drop of the hat His backer is Tom Costello, the well-known sporting man.

Little needs be said about Charlie Mitchell, the Englishman; he has been here and is well known all over the world. The men will fight with hard gloves, according to Queensberry rules, for a purse. There was considerable wrangling before a match was ratified, Gallagher insisting on a fight with bare knuckles to a finish, for a side. Madden, who looked after Mitchell's interest, said if it was to a finish fight the stakes must be $2,500 a side, and as Gallagher could not command that sum it was agreed to battle six rounds for a purse. The fight will be in private.

It is strange that nothing has reached here regarding the proposed fight to a finish between Jake Kilrain and Charley Mitchell which was to have taken place at Shelbyville, N. on the Fourth. The Examines called the turn on the affair several weeks ago when in this column it prophesied the match' would blow over In smoke. The arrangements for a fight between Jack McAuliffe of Brooklyn and James Carney of England have been consummated. Carney came to this country originally to meet Mc.

Auliffe, but for various reasons they could not be brought together. Now after months of talk on both sides the two world-renowned lightweights will fight with skin gloves for a side, open to $5,000 a side. The battle must take place between the first and sixth days of October, within 300 miles of Boston. Only ten men a side will be allowed to witness the mill. Carney sailed for England on the day of tigniDg the articles and he will return about September 1st.

William Daly has already come out with the proposition that he will match Mike Daly against the winner of the McAuliffe-Camey fight Tli- challenge worked up by Fox on Jem SmitJ" of England to fight Jake Kilrain is not regarded favorably in the sporting world. It is thought as the Examiner expressed it in last week's issue of "Sports," that the challenge is simply to protect Kilrain from fighting the heavy-weights of America, who should have the first go. Tbe following letter, published by the Police A'ew, is most significant: June 27.1S87. Urtaor of the PiJine Xncnf I Inclose A10M, which I offer to wager on either of these propositions: 1. That Jake Kilrain of America will never be matched to tight Jem Smith of England "for 500 asiUv." a.

That Jake Kilrain will never "go to the Continent" to fight anybody under London rules. You have my address and can certify to my responsibility. If Smith comes here, bold my S1O0 as my first deposit for a wager of on Smith to defeat Kilrain In whatever fashion they fight. NORTH-KM DEB. For the benefit of "A Monterey Subscriber," it mar be stated that Kilrain has never fought Snllivan.

The Stewart-Murphy fight will take place next Sunday, aud there is every indication that it is to be the best battle seen here in many months. Murphy, who once was a member of the John L. Sullivan combination, has been in active training for weeks about the boathouse at Long bridge. Stewart has been actively training ia the country. Dan Denny sends a challenge to Joe Sawyer to fight to a finish with or without gloves for fun or money.

Deacon Jones, having whipped every thing in sight of his weight will give ten ponnds to any one In his class for dust" Recently Mike Smith offered to back the Black Demon" for $250 under similar conditions. Deacon says he would prefer meeting Gus Brown to any one else. Martin Costello, "the Buffalo," writes from Melbourne, where he Is at present that he could not get another fight in Sydney, and therefore he quit the place. Young Mitchell is in the same fix, and, as there is no probability of their getting up a match in they propose joining Tom Cannon In a combination. fclavin, who fought a draw with Bufl'ttlo in Australia, is soon to leave there with Jack Hall for this city.

The Bicycle. 3frs. II. C. Finkler is the latest California wheelwoman to Join the L.

A. W. The failure of Woodworth, the Los Angeles rider, to compete at the Santa Cms races was a great disappointment to the local riders, as the different racers would have been pleased to test his speed and as great things were expected of him through the careful preparation he had undergone. The riders were all in excellent trim for the races. Davis had been carefully trained by R.

Gibson, the rnnner; George H. Strong trained Adams; Finckler, Biedertnan, Ireland and the others trained themselves, while Adcock was trained and advised by every one who could get within speaking distance of him, and which put him in such a condition that he had almost to be carried on the track, making his win in the ten-mile the more wonderful. One is surprised at the few events on the programme of a day's racing in England, but this surprise is soon dissipated by a glance at the entry list where thirty names are often down for one event, and as the race is usually run in heats of five men each, with a couple of finals, it is plain that there is plenty of sport The Coast bicycle records received their long-looked for revistne at 8anta Cruz. The first to go was the was done in the novice race In the record was 1 :29. The first half of tbe mile championship was run In the same time, but this was beaten by Biedertnan in the mile handicap, although bis tint was not taken.

The mile record was broken three times, going from 2 :55 2-5 to 2 :52, and finally to 2:50 1-5, where it stands to the credit of C. A. Biedertnan. W. G.

DavU holds the two, four and five-mile records, tbe latter standing at 15:49. C. E. Adcock, theldng-dis-tance champion, placed the ten-mile record to bis credit in 32 2-5. For the edification of those who did not see the races the following description of the three-mile handicap is given: Ireland and Turner rode from scratch, Wheaton from the 50-yard mark and Hood lOO yards.

Wheaton passed Hood near tbe first quarter and finished tbe first mile in the lead with Turner second. Turner spurted at the quarter-mile post and took the lead from Wheaton at l)i miles. Ireland moved up at 1 miles and pawed Hood, taking first place at the end of the second mile. Turner led again at the 2' miles, with Ireland and Wheaton close up. At the last quarter Ire-laud took the lead and won after a close finish in 9 "-2S 3-5 record.

Wheaton barely got second place from Turner. Ireland rode a splendid race and deserved his success. It is Captain Meeker's intention to have an-otaer century run of the Bay City Wheelmen before the close of the riding season, when he will endeavor to carry through twenty-five or mfre members. There was organized in this dry, on Tuesday last, a club to be known as tbe Pacific. Coast Harriers;" its avowed object is to encourage outdoor athletic sports.

There is nothing mercenary about it, as admission wilr be free, and it officers serve without remuneration. Why not organize a similar club in the bicycling line? Tbe majority of local riders are disengaged on Saturday afternoons, and the track at Fourteenth and Center streets, Oakland, is in perfect condition (better than the Santa Crus track), the mile having been ridden on it in 2:47. It ia under the control of an ardent sportsman, George H. Strong, who may possibly place it at the disposal of such an organization. Who will take the initiative in this mailer Athletic.

The Melbourne Sporttma devotes three of its columns to the rue co-Roman wrestling match which took place there on May 21st between Tom Cannon and John Connor for $2,500 and the championship of the world. The match was a most sensational one, and the 6,000 people who witnessed it now regard Cannon as fully possessing the science and strength of their departed favorite Clarence TllB Tafl-Enflers ia tte TM Snc-cessiTB Gams. THE VICTORIOUS ALTAS. 1 Meat lor tie Slonga City Clnl at lflStles Ii tbe EasL Lm It Is now apparent that the Pioneers have at last decided to show that thev know a little bit about the great American pastime. They have been clutching the tail end for a long time, and they arc making an earnest and commendable effort to surrender their unenviable position to one of the crack clubs.

It was with this object in view that they won their third straight game yesterday afternoon from tbe dandy Oakland pets, and they did it without a great effort The people that occupied the grand stand and bleaching boards, numbered about 10,000, and they witnessed a brilliant exhibition. But it was not an exciting contest, because the Pioneers took a winning lead in tbe fourth inning and almost whitewashed their opponents. BRILLIANT FIELDING. It -Is safe to say that the fielding snd batting of the victors has never been excelled by any club on this coast, not excepting the visitors from the East They played an errorless game until the eighth inning, when Hugh Smith dropped au easy fly, that he probably thought was impossible to muff. Crosby made his debut with the Pioneers, and his work in the box was superb.

He compelled the G. to scatter their hits, and tbe ball was rapped out safe only four times for the same number of bases. He allowed bat few balls to go beyond the diamond, thereby compelling the in fielders to make all the assists and large majority of pct-outa. He proved to be a ball player from the ground up, and amazed the spectators by the manner in which he compelled the leading base-stealers in the league to hug the bags, as if they were afraid that the bases would take wings. CHANGING TWIRLKRS.

Pnrcell was In the points for the O. A and the sluggers took great delight in knocking him out of tbe box and breaking his record with a vengeance. They bunched their hits in the fifth inning, and when they again appeared at the bat they faced "Fifteen-Inning Knell," who did good work during the remainder of the game. In the first few innings both aides hatched goose eggs. They struggled hard to get in a run, but fortune was agaiust thorn.

Two of the Pioneers reached the third bag, but the side wan retired on pretty plays befoie they could get as far as the plate. It was in the la half of the fourth Inning that the stalwarts commenced operations, much to the chagrin of their opponents. THE KCN-CETTINO. N. Smith reached first on a hard drive to Blakiston that almost paralysed the latter's pedal extremity.

H. Smith was given six balls, aud Nick went to second. Then Perrier hit to Knell, who threw N.Smith out at third. Crosby came next and struck out Carroll raised a high fly to Knell, but the latter missed tbe ball together with the opportunity of preventing a run. Carroll reached first and Perrier and II.

Smith scored. The side was shortly afterwards retired by McDonald, who neatly caught a foul fly running backwards. It was a magnificent catch that was loudly applauded. The G. fc failed to tally in the following innings.

Knell was retired at first by "Big" Smith, who made a splendid stop of a hot grounder with one hand. Purcell gave Carroll an opportunity to make a kpleudid "graud stand'' catch of a foul fly, and Shea, who was given six balls, was caught while trying to preempt the second bag. BARD HITTING. Then tbe Pioneers came in and went for Pnrcell haramer-and-tongs style, causing the fielders to chase leather until their limbs were sore. Eleven men to the bat, seven hits and seven runs.

This explains the character of this Inning. Taylor opened the round wflh au infield single. "Big" Smith sent the sphere to Knell, and it was fumbled until he got to first N. Smith hit the ball so bard that it seemed desirous of seeking surcease of punishment over the left field feuce. He took two bases, aud Taylor and Jack Smith scored.

N. Smith went to third on a very wild pitch, and tallied on Hugh Smith's single. Tbe latter was sent to second by Perrier, who nearly sent Shea to grass with a hot bounder. Crosby was assisted out at first by Shea, and a double play was made by shutting out H. Smith at the home plate just as he was beginning to feel proud for scoring a run.

But still there were only two ont, and the Pioneers wanted a few more runs in order to make tbe unfortunate Oakland boys wish they were home. Even little Carroll was imbued with this commendable spirit and sent Perrier to third on a hit that could not be mistaken for anything else than a single. Moore rapped the sphere for a safe hit, and Perrier tallied. Uagus sent the ball almost to the right field fence, and did not stop running until he bad the third bag in his possession. But it was only a two-base hit for Borchers threw the ball to home to shut out Moore.

It was an overthrow and botti Carroll and Moore scored. Gagits also tallied on McDonald's error in muffing a sixth ball, which sent Taylor to first. Taylor was also anxious to make a run. but Big Smith took np the ab and fanned the tephyrs, much to tbe disgust of himself and Taylor. Tbe score was 9 to O.

THE POOR OAKLANDER8. The Oakland pets felt very sore, and they stepped to the plate for the sixth time, but were evidently feeling dejected. Still they attempted to send a man around the bases, but the result was a dismal failure. Donovan reached first on a safe hit Borchers struck out and Donovan went to second on a passed ball. Then Crosby induced McDonald to strike three times at balls that seemed as if they were going over the plate, but took another course just before they reached his bat Blakiston wound up the inning by knocking a fly to Moore, which the latter captured with graceful ease.

The Pioneers were not yet surfeited with runs, although their opponents were without a single tally. N. Smith went to first on balls and to second on a wild pitch. 1L Smith lifted the ball into tbe air and It dropped into tbe grasp of KnelL Another wild pitch sent N. Smith home.

Perrier was also given six balls, and he scored on Shea's error in missing a ball thrown to second to shut out Crosby. THE ONLY ONE. The Pioneers did not succeed In adding any more runs to the score, butin the eighth inning they allowed Donovan of the G. to make a successful tour of the three bags aud plate, lie started out with a single and was advanced to second when Hugh Smith made the first error for the Pioneers by dropping a lazy fly. He sought to capture the ball with a prolusion of stylish nourishes, and as a consequence, it drooped to his feet, making him look very glum.

Then N. Smith made an error by a short throw to tbe initial, which allowed McDonald to reach that base and gave Donovan a tally. Tbe side was retired before McDonald reached second. The G. did not score in the ninth inning, and the Pioneers did not find necessary to take their final turn at the bat HOW IT WAS DONE.

The Champion Haverlys X.os the Game in the Capital City. Special to the Exaxixek. Sacramento, July 10. Catcher McLaughlin made the winning run for the Altas this afternoon in their contest wiln the Haverlys by daring base running. It was in the eighth Inning, and the score stood 4 to 4, when McLaughlin went to bat He hit a hot-liner toward Hanley.

The ball was a trifle too high, and passed Hanley. By fast running McLaughlin stole second and third. It was wla or lose for his club, and McLaughlin then displayed his base-running abilities. He was midway between third and home, when Incell pitched a swift one. which Etc in failed to hold, and before he could pick up the ball which rolled three or fonr feet away from the home plate, McLaughlin had scored amid long-continued applause.

The Haverlys played a steady game, thongh had Bennett kept his head the result might have been different Levy did fine work In center. Mnllee pitched better than last Sunday, and McLaughlin supported him nobly. Meagher, who took Lovett place at left distinguished himself by his beautiful catching and throwing. Flint covered center in good style, catching everything that came his way. His throwing to home, with that of Meagher saved the Altas from defeat If the home club had lost the game Anderson and Newbert would have received the blame, as they had an off jay.

The visitors opened the game, but failed to score, leaving two men on baara. In this inning, after two hands were oat, Anderson reached PLEASURE OJf THE TAMALPAIS. Four Hundred Excursionists Visited Martinez and Vallejo. It was a happy crowd of 400 excursionists that went up on the Tamalpais to Vallejo, Benl-cia and Martinez. The youth with his girl with the bright ribbons and a pleasant smile was there so were the father and mother with their family of children, and the old folks, too, all on pleasure bent and to get the benefit of the crisp, revivifying breezing.

There was amusement for everybody. Innocent and otherwise. Going up there was a brass band concert on the upper deck, and below the chnek-a-luck man with his lay-out initiated the gullible into the mysteries of his game. Altogether it was an en jovable trip. The Tamalpais passed Mare Island to give the excursionists a view of the navy yard, and then landed at Vallejo.

Most of the passengers got off at Martinez, however. Here there was dancing, and two Spanish gentlemen showed their skill with the foils. Thus two hours were delightfully spent and then the return trip was begun. The steamer started at lO o'clock and lnnded at the dock about 9. There were several officers on board, but their services were not needed.

TUMBLING TAIL-ENDERS. How They Popped the Plsreona Yesterday at McMahon's. Six members of the Golden Gate Club ap peared on the club grounds at McMahon's yesterday morning to bring off the third medal shoot of the association for the current season. In the first class four members took part. Ash-croft winning the medal after a tie with Lee and Munson.

The tie was shot off at five pairs, out of which Ashcroft scored eight In the second class Louis made ten to Foley's five, the latter being his only opponent After the medal shoot the wind freshened and shooting proved more difficult A ten-bird race at blackbirds produced some good work on the part of Lee, who broke eight in very workmanlike style.

The only marksmen present at the Shell Mound range yesterday were the members of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein, who were assembled for their monthly target practice. The best shooting was done by Philo who made a score of 392 out of a possible 400 rings.

This being the third time Jacob! has won the medal it now becomes his individual property. The second prize was won by John Horstmann with 353 rings, and the third prize was won by Henry Tietjen with 344 rings. Tbe fourth-class medal was not awarded, as none of the members of that class appeared to shoot CALIFORNIA SCHUETZEN CLUB. A meeting of the California Schuetzen Club took place yesterday at Harbor View. There was great interest shown and each member exerted himself to tne utmost to win tbe much coveted prize the championship medal.

In this contest K. Wertheimer made a score of 415 rings at a range of 200 yards. This medal for the championship Is a fine specimen of workmanship, and its intrinsic value is about $35. The shooting was out of a possible 500. First Class A.

There were many topics discussed yesterday at Long Bridge among the oarsmen, and the pleasant entertainment they were given at Stockton was not the least The Ariel crew's victory over the champion Stockton's was also a topic of conversation. The Stockton boys came in late but took their defeat good-naturedly.

con Lynch says: "Didn't I tell you our boys couiu puu a ooat f- The Stockton Club will have a chance to re deem themselves at the Rowing Association Regatta in the near future. frank s. Mulun got lost In the crowd at Stockton, but with the aid of a friendly San Franciscan he found his way to the hotel Frank says: "Next time I visit Stockton I will be accompanied by a man of the town." Dave Creamer of the Amltys used every exer tion to maxe tne visit ot tne Ariel crew to stock-ton pleasant and comfortable. Before leaving Captain Cochrane, on behalf of his crew, thanked the genial Dave and in return tendered the use of tbe Ariel house to the Amity Club whenever occasion may offer. Henry Peterson says that the speed of the Amity's boys increases with close acquaintance.

Jim Cochrane has been termed the mascot by his clubmates. Charlie Lipp says the Examiner caught on right when it said the Ariel's crew would be a hard one to get away from. They were never once headed in the race. Johnny Sullivan is getting back to his old rowing form. A match between John and his old-time rival, Lou White, would be interesting, as they are both good scullers.

Charlie Peterson says: "You bet It is hard work rowing in the hot sun when there is another boat chasing you: but then it makes a difference when there is a cool $150 waiting for yon at the finish." The promptness of the regatta committees at Long Bridge and at the City by the Slough was as admirable as remarkable, tbe starting of boat races being proverbially unpunctuah Jim Cochrane is of the opinion that the regatta at Stockton was the best managed affair of the kind that has ever taken place on the coast The winners received their money the moment me last race nnisnea. Austin Stevenson is a convert to the theory that to make a good race it is necessary to have a boat Stevenson says he had an old heavv scow on the Fourth of July, and she leaked so fast that he was more anxious to elude the Cor oner than win first prize, hence his conspicuous position in the rear of the procession. Dick Comona, stroke of the Stocktons, says that his crew will not allow themselves to become discouraged by their defeat but will keep in active practice and be on hand at tbe next regatta. The Stockton Club is the kind that never spoils true sport Fred Smith says: "You fellows will always win if you take my advice. Gets lots of sleep and never mind what Cochrane says about row ing over the course at 5 o'clock in tbe morning.

It requires a man of great endurance to sleep to 10 o'clock." Billy Dunn and Linky Regan of the Gates got In right on the Ariel crew at Stockton. Dunn says: "Another race like that and I will own the best barge that Griffin can build, even if have to row her myself." Charlie Long was asked, shortly after the race: "Why did you beat Grownev ao far? Long replied "Well, I had to keep headway on my boat and aid not want to capsize." Tom Tenneson, stroke of the Stockton ama teur crew, and Austin Stevenson, ex-champion, are visiting in the city. Charlie Lipp says: "It would be in order for the club to provide the crew with a first-class as I consider they should be as well boated as any other crew on the bay." "John Shelly and George Lieninger Jhe com mittee having charge of the regatta at Stockton, managed tbe affair so well that at the conclusion of the programme they were only three minutes behind the allotted time in which to complete the races. Henry Peterson says that during his trip throughout the East and Europe he never met with a recei tion to equal that given by the citi zens ot Stockton on tne our in ox juiy to the Visiting oarsmen. So confident of success were the many ad mirers of the Stockton big four that one excited individual offered to bet Lou Moore of the Pio neers his horse and buggy against $100 that the Stockton crew would row the Ariels out of sight in three miles.

Lou had an eye to business and wanted a bill of sale thrown in. Bill Growney has discovered a rising sculler in the person of Max Mannheim, the trainer of the Ariel crew. The undeveloped champion takes a spin every afternoon in the club Bliding- seat nnueuau kiiu -Leeps coroner At Murphy in painful suspense. It Is reported that since the new man ventured out in the club's boat the Deputy Coroner, armed with a boathook, has been stationed night and day on the end of Lung wharf, but so far the young waterman has met with no more serious accident than to have been blown a little out of his course. The charge by some of the Stockton people that the Ariels had picked a crew with which to beat their crew is denied by the Ariels.

The l.st of members composing the Ariel Club In nnssession of the Secretary of the Rowing Asso ciation shows that each one of the crew has held membership in the Ariel Rowing Club for at least three years. nenry reierson, urea Smith and Charlie Peterson have each entered or rowed in sinele-scull races under the blue and white of the Ariels, while Mascot James Cochrane has rowed with the two four-oared shell crews entered by the Ariels in 1883 and 18S4, and which won the champion cup donated by the Breeder and Sporttmnn.

Special to the Extvixnl Los Angeles, July 10. To-day's game at the Sixth-street Baseball Park was a complete surprise to every one. The home team were on their mettle, and played the finest game they have ever played on the grounds. Swan had been designated as pitcher for the home club, but failed to show np. so Nagle was put into the box, and to say that he surprised everybody by his fine work but mildly expresses it He certainly pitched a great game, and Monroe canght him perfectly.

The latter's pick-ups. throwing to bases and catching were features of the game, as was his one-hand catch of Young's high throw to the plate, shutting out a man. Coacher played a great fielding game: he made some wonderful stops and throws, as did Young at third. George, as usual, played an excellent first base, Williams did hard and timely batting for tbe home team. For the visitors Flynn and le Pangher did well, and O'Day'e second-base play was about the finest exhibition of fielding iu that position ever seen in Los Angeles, ate made a very fine catch after a hard run, and was loudly applauded.

Nagle. Monroe and the balance of the home tesra now own the city. Several of the friends of the club gave them a champagre supper tonight The gsme was, without doubt, one of the best ever played on this coast Following is the score: 108 A NfiELES, AB. R. IB.

His wife, Marv Connors, residing with six small children at 744 Harrison street toll Examine reporter that be bad been on a protracted spree, and this accounted for the attempt at suicide.

A Game at Watsonvllle. On the Fourth of July the Tribunes went to Watsonville and crossed bats with the Salinas City club.

Knell is a good shortstop. Hayes wants an engagement Meagher is again with the Altas. Purcell will be suspended for the present The Pioneers have at last struck a running gait Crosby is now the permanent twirler of the Pioneers. Robertson and Newbert had their "off day" in Sacramento yesterday. It is a wise man who can name the winners of the pennant iu the local league.

Pete Sweeney continues to attest to the fact that he is only a scratch baseman. Live Taylor has got his eye on the base and cracks it out in his old-time form. The Haverlys are at present the most dejected team of ball-players in the country. Indianapolis is the only League club which has not yet played an errorless game. Walter Appleton is probably congratulating himself for not having signed Purcell.

Maul, the crack pitcher of the Southern League, has proved a failure in Philadelphia. The Pioneers have a good pitcher in Crosby and will probably do better work in the future. Haves has been released from the Pioneers just to show that the club could exist without him. Burke has not yet played with the Detroits, although they were in such, a hurry to have him join the club. Hayes absence does not appear to weaken the "Jumbo" team.

He appears to be a Jonah to the club. Reserved seats were sold for the first time at Haight-street Park yesterday afternoon, and there was not one unoccupied. Manager Finn should feel proud of the fact that he pitched the first game in wnicn me Haverlys were defeated by his club. Curt Welch, the St. Louis Browns' great center-fielder, was presented with an elegaut diamond stud by his many St.

Louis admirers. Mansger Finn says that he nteds two pitchers and is now negotiating with Hapman, the Los Angeles twirler who shutout the Haverlys with two hits. The Only Keley admitted that Van Haltren truck him out three times in Chicago, but Um pire Doescher sent mm to the initial on Dans each time. Crosby is the hardest working twirler ever neen in this city. He plays the field as well as the box.

and his base running ia a feature of bis playing. Piercy, who Imported Crosby to this Coast, is well pleased with that player's work in yesterday's game. Andy says that he was sure he'd Drove a daisy. The Oakland pets are falling off in their batting. They seem to forget how to hit at a ball.

If they don't wake up the team will lose sight of the pennant McLaughlin, who is one of the most daring base-runners on ine coast, won toe game in Sacramento yesterday by stealing the plate from third base. Borchers yesterday made one of the longest throws ever witnessed at the Haight-street grounds. It was from right held to the fence back of the catcher. Charley Sweeny and several others of the Cleveland Club will probably be released. Sweeney is a back number and does not play ball up to nis lormer standard.

The Chicago Club is no doubt holding Van Haltren in reserve. At present they do not find it necessary to put him in the box, because they are knocking out au tneir opponents. The G. lead the league in batting and fielrifnir- Thev have made 1 0 hits and 72 er rors in fourteen games. In the same number the Haverlys have made 110 hits and 9b errors.

The Pittsburgs have secured an Eastern League outfielder named Beecher. Some one of the regular fielders will have to go, and there is a rumor tnat j.oxn xruwu mc i ia chased. Friday week Manager John Kelly was chosen to finish nmnirine a came in which his own club was playing. There isn't another manager in the country to whom such a compliment would be paid. Lovett.

the nseudo-twirler. returned to the East rather suddenly last week, after promising to pitch for the Pioneers. It required but a very short time for him to discover that be could not play ball in a California club. Hereafter no one will be admitted to the Press Stand at Haight-street Park unless he has a press ticket Attorneys who think they own tbe earth will please bear this fact in mind and buy a reserved ticket in the Grand Stand. Twitehell of Detroit leads the League in batting.

The New York Club leads in batting with a percentage of .356. Pittsburg and Detroit are even for fielding honors. The New Yorka are Only five points behind the leaders in batting. Van Haltren Joined the Chicago White Stock REMINISCENCES. Jefferson Davis Publishes an Account of His Kxperience.

Baltimore, July 10. The Morning Herald of this city publishes a six-column contribution, giving an account of Important interviews with Jefferson Davis. In these interviews Davis, among other things, charges that the Federal Government endeavored during the late wsr to have him assassinated. On this subject Mr. Davis says: "When the Confederate Government was at Montgomery In 1861, 1 received an anonymous letter from Philadelphia, the substance of which was that the Governor of Pennsylvania had released a noted desperado from the penitentiary upon the conditiou that he go to Montgomery and assassinate me, with the promise of a reward of 10,000, and if he succeeded he would gain his release.

The man stated that he could not probably, succeed alone, and rave the name of another convict, a character like his own, and with whose assistance he felt sure of success, and that the second convict was released to accompany the first" Mr. Davis then gave, with much circumstantial detail, accounts of various attempts on his life. Once he discovered a man watching him behind the brick wall surrounding his residence and followed him. The man ran and escaped through a barn, and, Davis believes, with a conveyance containing colored servants. While riding ont to visit the defensive works around Richmond, accompanied by Colonel W.

Preston Johnson, a pistol ball, evidently intended for "business," passed just between them. This shot came from an apparently vacant house. Subsequent search revealed an armed man under the floor. He was sent to General Lee by Mr. Davis' orders with an explanatory note and the bone that he would be put in a front line to stop a ball intended for a better man.

On another occasion, in the suburbs of Richmond, a shot was fired at the President of the Confederacy from behind a high wall. Mr. Davis continued: "There were many reasons before Dahlgren's raid for believing that efforts, inconsistent with the rules of war as practiced by civilized nations, were made to secure the assassination of the President and to acquire information by spies, and that large rewards were offered for such services, including arson and murder. "On one occasion, when I was known to be traveling on a railroad to the army, was brought by a lady, who bad overheard a conversation in a barn, that obstructions would be placed on tbe track, and tbe information verified by a detachment sent who found the obstructions and some United States soldiers secreted in a barn near the place." Mr. Davis gives his motiveeand political status in 1861, and claims that he never was a dis-unionist, but that the Northern Senators rejected at that time every proposition that promised pacification.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH. Father Larkln's Sermon on "The Miracles ot Christ." Rev. Thomas Lark in delivered, a very Interesting sermon yesterday morning on "The Miracles of Christ" from the pulpit of St Patrick's Church on Mission street between Third and Fourth. The miracles by which the Redeemer manifested his divinity are as well authenticated, he said, as any other facta of history.

Notwithstanding this, there are many persons who place no credence in the marvelous works recorded of Christ because they say these works would have been in contradiction to tbe laws of nature. But surely the world's Creator was not bound by his own laws, and He was capable of creating other laws for the time being in order to fulfill His purposes. The person who denies ITIm this privilege attempts to make a god of nature by proclaiming the material universe to be almighty, and this is indeed most absurd. For were the material universe supreme it never could have produced virtue, such divine attributes as justice, truth and other pure spiritual faculties, which are apart from and far superior to matter. These godlike gifts adorning the glorious reason of man.

God's highest grandest creature, reflects the faculties of the omniponent, eternal reason which des'gned tbe world. The mlracle-worki ng power of the Son of God did not cease with His death. He transmitted it to His Aposties, and it has in turn been given to their legitimate successnra, the bishops and priests of the church. They are, moreover, ready to use this power should the use of it be required. The reason why miracles are not wrought to such au extent as in former ages is because God receives greater glory whp nations accept bis faith without the working of marvels, and the evidences they already have Is more than sufficient Simple, obedient faith, which seeks not wonderful signs in confirmation of divine truths is most acceptable to God.

We read ot St Thomas thatAvlien the Apostles tbld him of Christ's resurrection, he refused to believe unless he could behold with his own eyes tbe risen Master. Our Savior then on next appeariug to the Apostle called Thomas and desired the doubter to place his finger within the wounds. The Apostle humbly desisted, acknowledging his faith, but Jesus said, 'Because thou has seen me Thomas, thou hast believed. Blessed are they who have not seen and have Tbe words of Jesus attest the superiority of the soul which meekly bows in faith to God over the self-willed spirit which demands of the Almighty to prove nis truths by miracles," "EXAMINER SPECIAL TRAINS.
