Knitnet Sheridan sppesred in the role of Con liellly In Howard P. Taylor's melodrama of "IrlBh Inspiration" at the Grand Opera House last evening. For five acta the largo audlent witnessed startling sensational and thrilling situations interspersed with flashes of Irish wit, and set off by piotureaque scenery. A genuine waterfall In the first act makes a beautiful setting to an attractive scene, O'Rourke's mill and storehouse was also a realistic one, as was the duel between Eugene Moore and Fred Butler. Mr.

Sheridan's role of Con brought out his rich brogue and good voice, his songs being well received. As Lady Margaret Miss Lisle Leigh was pleaalng and Miss linesman In the love scenes with the star was effective. SPORTS AT THE GRQViS.

C. Smlther of Los Angeles. The Berkeley Bible Seminary belongs to the Christian, denomination and will be under the control of the State convention of the Christian Church. Tbe Idea of found ing a Christian seminary originated two years ago. At first it was not considered feasible project.

It was thought suffi cient funds for Its maintenance could not be raised in this State. But a committee went to work and as it reported a month ago that an endowment of 180,000 had been secured directors were appointed, ana yesterday the seminary formally Incorporated. The $80,000 is in good securities and most of the sum yielding good interest. The seminary will be a theological college, but an annex to the University of California By a special arrangement with the professors of the university tne directors have been able to affect an affiliation. No secular instruction will be given at the hemlnary, but the students attending will be permitted to pursue a special course at the University, The seminary win De conducted similar to the Christian demnomina-tlon annex to the Chicago University.

The trustees have received a number of applications and when the seminary opens on the 12th of August they expect a very creditable showing for the new school.

Neel brothers proved too much for the Wrenn brothers on the Kenwood tennis courts this afternoon In the finals for the Western championship. The former team won in straight sets, the snore being 6-3, 6-0, 83. The successful players, by reason of their victory, earned the honor of being privileged to reprsent the West In the tourney for the national championship to be held at Narrsgansett Pier next month. To-day's tennis failed by a wide mark to come up to championship form. The play at times was pven exasperatlngly Blow, O'f course, at times a pyrotrchnical display of the marvelous was bound to show Itself.

But these bursts of uncommon brilliancy were the exception to the rule. was Inherent In nearly every winning stroke, and to this care fast playing gave way. Terrific smashes and drives of lightning speed were generally conspicuous by their absence. Each side seemed fearful of the other, and during a large part of the time contented Itself simply with hatting the ball across the net. and depended more upon an opponents' error to win a poiht than on its own superior playing.

The defeat of the Wrenns can be briefly explained. They were outplayed from first to last. Oeorge Wrenn, who carried off such high honors in last Friday's match for the tourney championship, bad the worst sort of an off day. i TENNIS TOURNEY.

The League of American Wheelmen Will Not Admit Colored Cyclers, The Oakland Club Was Refused Ad-mission Because It Is Composed of Negroes. TRIED FOR THREE YEARS TO GET iN. President Williams of the Oakland Organ' uatlon Says He Is an American and Will Demand His Rights.

Alameda County Bureau "The Examiner," 914 Broadway, Oakland. OAKLAND. July 20. Harry Williams, the President of the Oakland Cycle Club, is very indignant because the League of American Wheelmen refuses to admit his club to membership. The Oakland Cycle Club Is composed of fifty-seven colored men.

When they have club races they want to have their records sanctioned by the American League. Three ysars ago Henry Williams, tne riesioeiu, wrote to n. M. Lynch, who controls the League affairs on Coast, and asked to have his club enrolled. The only answer received from Jlr.

Lynch was tha League affairs were tn such a condition that Mr. Williams would have to wait a while. Time passed, and President Williams' impatience became exhausted. He had waited nearly ttylve months, and It was drawing near the time when the club wanted to nave us annual run, and all the members were fager to go on record under the League colors. Mr.

Williams therefore wrote again, ana once more he was told to wait a few months longer and all would bs well. There were so many things to be attended to that the Oakland bikers would have to be patient. President Williams was getting very weary, but he took the Coast officer's ad vice and let another year slip by. Last month he again broached the subject to Representative Lynch, and soon afterwards he was referred to the President of the League for advice in the matter. At last, Mr.

Williams felt, he would have his club enrolled. He wrote to the League President, therefore, at once, and last even ing received a reply that made him very In dignant. It was to the effect that the Oak land cyclers could not Join the American Wheelmen, as the League debarred colored organizations from membership. The let ter closed with the advice to organize a col ored league on the Coast. "It is simply preposterous, sain Mr.

Wil-liama to-day, as he read the letter to a group of sympathizing cyclers, "that we, who are Americans, cannot become members of this organization just because of our color. It's shame and an outrage. "It would have been just as sensible for them to have told all the red-headed men who ride wheels that they would have to form a red-headed League of American Wheelmen as to tell us that our color pre vents tis from being as good Americans as any others. "What am I going to do? Why, fight this thing till we get recognition. If some newspaper would only come to our rescue and put the wrongs we colored citizens suffered be fore the people, I believe we would soon get justice." RACING IN THE EA3T.

SAN JOSE, July 20. -Henry Miller, the cat tle King and surviving partner of the firm of Miller Lux, entertained the Hoard of Super- vigors this afternoon with a sketch of his early struggles for bread and a brief description of tbe manner in which he acquired mil lions of ares of land In this and other counties, The Supervisors were sitting as a Board of Equalization to adiiiKt the tax levy, and Mil ler appeared In answer to a summons issued last Friday at the Instance of John Owsley, to show cause why the assessment on about acres of his land should not be raised. Owsley owns a big ranch near Gilroy and he wbb as aessed from Jlfi to an acre, whllo Miller land, which adjoins Owsley's, waa assessed at trom to only.

AsaMgor Spltzer claimed that land was or better quality and more desirably locat ed, tut Owsley was not satisfied with the ex pianatlon. The board finally decided that there was too much disparity in the valuation Miller and Owsley's property and Miiler asetnnt was raised from $2 to $1 on Mo acres and from lio to IM) on 11 acres.

Price 1 SO. All Drugliita. Children It Still Determined Not to Fight for a Smaller Pursa Than $6,000. SOMETHING MAY DEVELOP TODAY. Manager Groom Has Promised to Define the National Club's Position in the Matter, There la need of a good diplomat In lnral pugilistic circle Just now.

'Tarson" Pa-vles would no doubt fill the bill and possibly Tat Sheedy, If be were still In the promoting line, mlpht be able to unite the broken threads and make everything serene and snt-lablo once more. The Msher-Choynskl contest is the cause of all tne trouble. The National Club, the Olympic Club and the Occidental Club all want the mill. The National bid the tnon money for the affair, but the Supervisor are determined not to grant the Nationals a permit. If that were the only complication matters might be straightened out, hut there are others.

Peter Maher, for private and personal reasons, will have nothing to do with the Occidental Club. That makes complication No, 2. Maher has no objections to the Olympic Club, and the Olympic Club baa no objection to Maher. So far so good, but Maher declares that he will not fight for less than and the Olympic Club Is equally positive that it will not give more than That is where complication No. 3 crops up.

Maher and his manager. Buck Connolly, are not flurrying themselves over the outlook. They have made up their minds to remain in this city until Monday next no matter what happens. To-day tbey expect a definite answer from Manager Groom of the National as to his club's ability to handle the fight. If Groom and his associates resolve to "throw up the sponge," as the fighters nay, and no other club offers Connolly will set about arranging a friendly exhibition between Maher and some local heavyw eight at one of the vaudeville houses.

Ly this means Connolly experts to gather in enough money to pay the expens of his little band and on Monday next ha will bid good by to San Francisco. "We are not stuck on the outlook," said Connolly yesterday, "but we are not worrying any. It was hinted in the East before we left that we would find things different hen we got here, and that instead of fighting for the $6,000 promised we would be asked to get into the ring and battle for a much less sum. We told the people in Pittsburgh that we would have $6,000 or nothing, and we are going to stand pat on that proposi tion. "This Mr.

Groom of the National Club seems to thing that he can pull off the fight, and we are willing to give him reasonable time to perfect his plans, We expected something definite from him to-day, but he now says he will give us a final answer tomorrow. He talks of bringing Maher and Choynski together somewhere outside of San Francisco in case he cannot make a satisfactory arrangements in the city. If he wants us to fight somewhere else I will require him to put up $1,000 to remunerate Maher In case he fails to bring off the fight, 1 will put up a like amount to guarantee Peter's appearance in the ring on the date set. "If everything Is arranged satisfactorily to-morrow Peter will take up his quarters at one of the big road houses near the Cliff House and begin training right away. If Groom decides that the jig is up so far as his club is concerned and if no other club offers $6,000 for the fight we will go back home.

Boxing will be in full swing in New York after September and the Choynskl-Maher match is one that will keep. I don't know of any better drawing card in the business to-day, and I'm satisfied that there will bt no difficulty in commanding $6,000 for eight rounds between these men." The Impression is gaining ground in sport-, ing circles that the Maher-Choynaki contest is not for San Francisco. It Is said tbit the Supervisors have determined not to reconsider their action In regard to the National Club's permit and very few people consider the managers of the tottering club foolhardy enough to guarantee the pugilists $6,000 for a fight outside of San Francisco. There would be a rift in the clouds if either the Olympic Club or the Maher outfit were a trifle unbending, but as the Olympic, is determined not to give $6,000 and Maher is determined not to accept less it looks as if there will be no fight. A friend of J.

Ross Jackson, whose name is frequently mentioned in connection with the presidency of the National Club, stated yesterady that some of the local papers had placed Jackson in a false light in regard to the present squabble between the club and the Supervisors. He said tbat Jackson bad never participated in any of the profits arising from these pugilistic exhibitions, and hat his office as president was more an honorary affair than anything else.

Willows and Stockton Will Give Extra Days to the Thoroughbreds Many Hojjes Training at t'acramento, The running horsemen are preparing their steeds for the coming season, and from all accounts Intend to enter liberally at the Vallejo, Fetaluma, Woodland, Willows, State Fair and Stockton meetings.

All the good thoroughbreds will be on hand when the State fair meeting opens, and horsemen are wondering about the condition in which the California steeds will arrive from the East. Over 200 trotters, pacers and runners are now in' training at the Sacramento track, while other strings are being worked over the other tracks of the State. In two weeks the California Racing Circuit will open in earnest, and it will be racing for blood and money. Fred McCuIlough, the well-known steeplechase jockey, Is schooling a lot of Rancho del Paso horses over the jumps. Theodore Winters, the prominent politician and horseman from Nevada, has another grand yearling at his farm by Joe Hooker-Marion.

It is a full brother to the famous Yo Tamblen. Colonel Burns and his partner, Water-house, took a trip to San Jose Sunday to see their yearlings and two-year-olds on that track. The harness horsemen are very busy, preparing for the coming circuit meetings. Stockton has decided to give a meeting after the State Fair in September for runners, pacers and trotters and thus prolong the circuit. W.

Freeman, Secretary of th Willows Association, says that the entries at that place have filled well and probably a few extra days will be given to the runners. Miss Beatrice, tho two-year-old Direct filly that won the Consolation purse of the "Horse Review" stake recently at Chicago in 2:34 and was bred in Haywarda by Mllo Knox. Matt Storm has his string of runners quartered at the Fleasanton track, and he says they are all doing well. He has two fine looking yearling colts by the great Morrelo, and he looks for great things from them. Hal Fisher, who ran many races at the Bay District track, is now the property of Policeman Hanley.

The policeman rtdeB him over the boulevards leading to the Park. By kind treatment Hanley has made the horse as docile as at lamb. He follows the policeman about the streets. MIGNON AT THE TIVOLI. Very Enjoyable Performance GiveflLas Night of Ambrose Tbemas1 Famctts Romantic Opera.

Ambroias Thomas' romantic opera, "Mlg- non," was given at the Tlvoll last night ia the presence of one of the largest audiences of the present season. Since 1st production in Paris thirty years ago Mignon" has always been a favorite opera. Apart from the pathetic and touching story, the music is at all times agreeable, even If It fails to rise to absolute greatness. The score replete with charming melodies, jewels which sparkle and glow In a tasteful setting of eflned and delightful orchestration. Ont of the strongest points in the perform ance of lat evening was the impersonation of the title role by Ninl Bertlnl Ilumphrys.

iter singing snowed a distinct advance on anything she has previously attempted, and iu several scenes she developed dramatic ouali ties hitherto unsuspected. The popular solo, Dost inou Know mat Sweet Land was charmingly sung, gaining a well-deserved encore: but Mme. Ilumphrys' best work was shown In the boudoir scene of the second act. Abramoff, as Lothario, repeated the success which he made In this role during the Tavary season. Mis resonant tones are always welcome, for he never fails to give a satisfactory renoering or any part wnlcn ne undertakes.

Mlchelena, as Wilhelm Melster, waa hardly no to his usual standard. He sang and acted like true artlBt, but his voice appeared tired, or possibly it may have been auected by untavor able climatic conditions. Klchard Karl waa an acceptable Laertes and succeeded In in fusing a good deal of genuine comedy Into the part. Mme. Natall, as till tin.

failed to arouse any special enthusiasm. Her principal solo, I Am Titanla, demands higher qualities of vocalization than she appears to possess, and her upper register was at times unpleasant iy furced. Miss Russell sang the part of 1-red- erlck In her usual style. The charming ga votte, which is a prime favorltct with every operatic contralto, passed almost without rec ognition. The orchestra, under Oustav Ulnrlchs, did admirable work, although the trombone player was at times too demonstrative.

This evening "Martha" will be given, and for the rest, of the week the programme Is as follows: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, 'Migntm' Saturday. Martha. Thursday. for the benefit of Gustav Ilinrichs, "I I'ugll-accl" and orchestral selections from "Hansel and Gretel." A Small Wine IroiIn-l. Chief pepupty Collector of Internal Revenue L.
