The sturdy representative of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club has made giant strides toward the championship during the past year. He has won a number of important races and 1b expected to prove a formidable opponent for champion, C. Dennis, If they meet during the coming season.

Tape Is pronounced tho best sculler on the Coast from the neck down a subtle way of saying thatbebas every qualification except judgment. The Illustration Is from a photograph taken expressly for "The Examiner by Bushnell. cnampionsnip course at El Campo. The rowing officials have been In consulta tion during the past week with Emmet Hay-don, manager of El Campo, with the result that the prospects are bright for a regatta In June over the championship course. The.

grounds are taken far lu advance, but It is expected that some arrangement can be made. by which the oarsmen csn hold their races. The suggestion his been made that the first OOOOOdOOOOOOOOOO ooooooo ooooo oooo regatta this year extend over two days. By this arrangement all the barf contested on one day and all the scull races on another. The oarsmen would be served by this as they could compete In both classes.

The club regstta of the Arlels Is the next competitive event on the cards. The club of ficials have selected the first Sunday In June as the date and expect a large attendance and interesting sport. The South End clubmen expect to lose the services of Dr. C. C.

Dennis, tho crack single eculler of the Coast. He Is a lieutenant In the Naval Reserve and may be called for duty at any time. The rivalry betwen crews of the South Lnd Club that developed during the recent regatta has broken out again. The result has bicn the matching of the following crews for a spe cial race: First crew James Fcehan, stroke; Emil Blumleln, afterwalst; Chas. Crelghton.

Fltzpatrick, forward waist, and W. Fox, bow. George Fox has recovered from his recent illness and is again a visitor at the South End boat house. The new racing barge of the Alameda Boat Club has not been completely fitted with tents and outriggers. The members of the club ex pect that it will be ready for use to-morrow when it will be given Us first trial on the estuary.

The Alamedas nave suffered a serious loss of racing talent owing to the enlistment of some of their most promising oarsmen in the volunteer army. The men who have enlisted are B. H. Hawks, J. (1.

Hawks, Otto Meyer, E. H. Hennlnger, and J. C. Stamer.

The latter' Is one of the club's best performers in the skiff, while Meyer has been considered the mainstay of the junior crew. HOMING PIGEONS TO BE TRAINED FOR WAR. Government Officials Will Experimen' With Swift-Flying Birds in the Transmission of Messages. Arrangements have been made between gov ernment officials and the Homing Pigeon Fed eration, with its headquarters at Philadelphia, for the use of 3,000 pigeons to be placed in training at once. The War Department will use these birds for the navy.

It Is the intentiou to maintain a system of coast-llnp signal stations, Including homing pigeon lofts end ell the equipments for communicating over long and short distances on the sea board. Vessels cruising within certain distances of the ohore will be enabled to warn coast cities of approaching danger. Considerable attention baa been paid to tho training of pigeons over water on the Atlantic coast, although but little has been done In this direction here. The Navy Department on this Coast has, however, a number of pigeons, the loft being located at Mare Island. These birds have been but partially trained over water, as their liberation has been usually made from the coast steamers.

This gives the bird but a short distance to fly before reach ing the coast, and its flight is then along the roast line directly home. A few birds have been taken west a far as the Farallones, but beyond that point few have been trained. Outgoing stamers usually leave so late In the day that there 1 nothing gained In liberating the birds before nightfall, and If It Is delayed until the following morning the distance Is then too greot for the bM to attempt with any degree of safety. In case of war and engagements of vessels from one to three hundred miles from the ME 11 ITS Winner if the Rules Were Violated, FURMAN RETURNS SOUTH. Efforts to Match Him With Rins, Wing or CM, Smith Fai' Olympic and Reliance Outings.

The meeting is an Important one, as In addition to th consideration of grievances that developed over the relay race the officers will outline the work of the association for the ensuing year. From the temper of the delegates It ll thought possible that they will take the re lay trophy from the Bay City Wheelmen, If evidence Is produced cf infractions of the rules by the members of the club's team. Some of the members nre alleged to havo boasted that they placed no value on tha cup, but intended to land their team first at tne linisn, wnemer oy creuuauia ur ui- credttable means.

The work Is one that all wheelmen should have, as it covers a vast field, the Information being supplied by authorities on the different subjects. William Furman, the Los Angeles rider who was brought from the south by the Bay CUy Wheelmen te strengthen their relay team, has returned home. When he came here he seemed anxtoue for a matcli with the fastest of the northern riders. After leading Wing over the tape at theemi of the relay he apparently thought It best not to put his fortunes again to the test. Ho would have been busy if he accepted all the opportunities offered him for racing.

Edmund Russ was anxious to race him at any distance from one-quarter to five miles, under any conditions he might Impose. A meeting was arranged at which the proposed match could be brought about, but neither Furman nor his representative wa present. The next heard of him he was on his way south.

The second annual dog how of the San Francisco Kennel Club will open Wednes day morning, the 18th at Mechanic' Pavilion. The entry this year, although ellgbtly less than that of last year In numbers, Is better In quality, and the club mem bers are being congratulated on their suc cessful efforts In obtaining the large and representative entry of five hundred and sixty-three dogs. In St. Bernards, Great Danes, spaniels, fox terriers, cockers, bull terriers, pointers and setters the quality and number are good, while In collies, owing to the enter prise of the Verona, Oakslde Kennels, Nor man J. Stewart and others, the public on this Coast will see some of the beet repre aentatlves of this breed In the world.

Superintendent E. M. Oldham of the forthcoming show speaks regarding the new rules of the American Kennel Club and for the benefit of Intending exhibitors as fol lows: Some months ago, when the new rules were adopted by the American Kennel Club, there wat much diversity of opinion whether they would be as satisfactory to the general body of exhibitors the old nilea which had been In force since the Hrst show was held In this country. At New York, where the new rules first came Into force, It was luimed lately noticed that many of the old champion dogs were kept at home, as, under the conditions of the new rules, they had to compete In the "free for all" class, whereas under the old rule they had a class to themselves. This naturally made tome opposition among tlielr owners, who contended thut It was not fair when the rings had leen some years In competition and bod worked ihelr way to the championship Clnsa to make them contend with young dogs who had not sutTered from the wear and tear of bench shows.

Supporters of thwiew rules, however, approved of this lum-vution, as from their side of the question It, brought tlie best 1K to the front. The chief advantage to a kennel club by the new rules is that one dog can be entered In four classes, tlius giving exhibitors a chance to win more prizes, while, as the club has only to pay for benching and feeding one dog, for which It obtain one or more entry fees, It is murunlly beneficial to the club and the exhibitor. The coming show will be a fair test as to the popularity or otherwise of this rule. The dog show will be open to receive dogs from 8 a. m.

Wednesday, the 18th Instant, to noon the same day, and judging will commence promptly at 2 o'clock. It Is desirable that owners of dogs should be on hand when the Judging commences, so that they can take their dogs Into the ring to be passed niion. A dog always shows better with his ownee than with a stranger, and as, In the absence of an owner, some attendant will be deputed to take the dog Into the ring, the owner should, when I present to perform this work. Exhibitors should remember when takln? their dog Into the ring that the Judge Is there for the purpose of examining and eoniiarlng the different specimens exhibited, and not to admire the exhibitor. On entering the ring, as a rule, after the numbers In the class are recorded, the Judge asks the exhibitor to move around In a circle go that he can aee the action ami movement of the dogs, gome exhibitors forget themselves ami what they are there for and walk between the Judge and the dog.

It Is lmjiortsnt that the dog should be led so that the Judge can see his every motion. After the judge bus given bis decisions and the ring is cleared for the next class It Is not considered good form for those who have not been fortunate In receiving one of the prixes to around and grumble over the awards. Among the famous dogs that have reached Coast since the last show which was held at San Jose are Champion Havoc, cocker spaniel which has been successful In the East. He was first shown at Boston in 1896 and scored first In a strong class Since then he has won at many of the prin cipal shows In the East and West. He Is one of Champion Black Duke's best sons, and will undoubtedly do much to Improve the breed on this Coast.

Mr. Carlton, the Secretary of the club has entered a Boston terrier whose pedigree and points are of the highest class. Mrs. Lee of Toledo has sent the St. Ber nard Alto MUo.

This dog took second prize at the Grand Rapids show this year to Champion Duke Wadsworth, who has since been purchased by Frank J. Gould. TROUT STREAMS YIELD EXCELLENT RETURNS. Sacramento, Klamath and McCloud Rivers Reported by Sportsmen in Good Condition for Fishing. The trout streams of the Sierra are rapidly reaching their condition for sport.

George Emmons and W. F. Bogart, who vis Ited the Sacramento at Slmm's Station last week, had splendid sport, returning with fifty three trout, 1n weight from one-half to three pounds. They report the stream in perfect condition and the fish rising well to the fly. Al dimming and party on their way to Kla math river visited the McCloud at Pnlrds, Their catch was not large in numbers, but the fish were all of good size.

One of the party, E. Marks, took on a fly and a rainbow trout that weighed five and one-hnlf pounds. Another party on the day after tholr departure killed one that weigh ed six and one-quarter pounds. Cummlcg, who returned from the Klamath early this week, had line sport during his stay. His fish averRKcd about three pounds and were caught at the rate ot about twenty a day.

Some of the pigeons had flown front that point betore, and with little delay tney made directly for home, followed by the balance of the birds that were liberated. Edward S.

Moore of Tres 1'inos, has notified "The Examiner" that he has in his possession a homing pigeon whic came to his plnce about onp year ago. The bird is mnmea "12422."

The proposed Inter-club golf match between the organizations promctlng the Scotch na tional game In this city and In Oakland has been postponed until autumn. It was found that the grounds of the Oakland Club are In such condition that the matches could not be played with satisfaction.

The picturesque links are of adobe character and at this season are too hard for satisfactory playing. The proposed matches will be revived after the first rains next autumn. The result of the medal match last Saturday Is still In doubt. A question arose over the scoring and the matter was referred to a special committee, Under the methods of scoring followed by the club Mr. Lawson and Mr.

When the San Franclseo challenge eup was established a few years ago by somo enthusiastic yachtsmen headed by Will Brooks, the Corinthian yaehtowner, Encinals were given first possession of the trophy by lot, and allhoufih at tho timo tho Alameda Club was more of a social than a yachting organization, the members arose to the occasion and three races were sailed before the cup went from the Eneinal oily. At first San Fran-eiseos challenged for the trophy and named Morrell's sloop Queen. Commodore Leonard of Corinthians changed his largo cruising yawl El Sueno into a. sloop, cut down her top hamper and Jlbboom in order to reduce racing length to within the necessary figure, and simply walked away from the Sau-sallto yacht. Still not discouraged, the San Francisco Yacht Club challenged the following year with Louis Sutherland's reconstructed sloop Catherine.

Encinals were taken by surprise, having no defender of that size; but a syndicate of members bought tho old Fawn, put a modern bow and stern on ber, and sailed her to victory. Finally, lant year the trophy was carried off by Morrow and Westerfeld's sloop Aeolus to the Corinthian clubhouse. It Is probable that only a few boats from other clubs will attend the Enclnal reception. San Francisco, Pacific, Corinthian and California Clubs have a cruise scheduled to Vallejo which will, without doubt, be generally carried out, as It la the first of the geason. Other club programmes were drawn up much earlier than Enclnal's, and while there is no disposition to slight so Important an affair as the Alameda opening, the active sailors are anxious for a cruise, and have indeed been sorely impatient over the indoor amusements of the past month.

It is to be regretted, slnc President Tisdale and Commodore Hanley have been careful to personally attend the other club openings. The following California Club boats will cruise to Vallejo: SWi'S M.i'.tte (Hnrtmnnnl, Corlnne W. H. (Vmlrti. Kmhla (Ci.tnni.Kjore Lancaster).
