The use of toe-clips on wheels is grad- becoming quite common among all Time was when only racing men is device, and en a new man had put_on his wheel it was accepted as an indication that he was going in for track honors. But it has been found that | toe-clips force a rider to use the ankle mo- tion, which is admitted to be the best and least tiresome wey of pedaling; and be- s foot never slips when climbing | a f the clips are used. So thatthe | nand for these little articles is now | quite universal, and before long we may expect to sae them attached to all wheels when first turned out of the factory Brakes are seldom used on wheels no days, as they add somewhat to the weight, | and a good rider finds that back-pedaling answers the same purpose, while there is no wear on the tire. The presence of a brake is alwviys an indication of amateur- hness, too, which the average mew rider is vety anxious to discard as early as pos- sible.” Light wheels are very much in favor this son, it rot being uncommon to see seventeen or nineteen pound mounts upon the roads, while last year this weight was considered dangerously light even for track use. The English prophecy that wheels will soon be so light as to require | chaining down to prevent their flying off into space seems to be in close proximity. A movement which is being fathered by the clergy of Oakland to have an ordi- nance passed permitiing wheelmen the use of sidewalks in that city does not present the sentiments of the average rider, whois more than satisisfied if given his share of the road. Sidewalk riding is dangerousto both rider and pedestrian, and there are few cyclists who would not rather take to the street than be compelled to ride at a rate of three miles an hour when passing any one on foot, as well as having to dismount at_all curbs. Of course in outlying dis- tricts the footpaths are sometimes supe- rior to the road, and the wheelmen gener- ally use them in preference to the road without objection from any source. Next month the new fiscal year of the g rue of American Wheelmen com- mences and large additions to the roll of the California division are expected. Sev- eral prominent clubs have signified their intentions of joiningina bod;; in order to derive the many benefits which accrue from memhershigin the organization. Archie Reid, who made a good showinfi inclass A last year, has just commence training for the coming races. T. A. Grif- fiths has also begun preparatory work and will shine in class B this year. "Those who would Jike to seea mafch race between Jones of the Garden Citys and Byrne of the Imperials had best keep their eyes also upon Harry Terrill and Archie Reid, who are still in class A. The second tryout of the California Cy:ling Club takes place to-morrow at 10:30 A. M. over the San Leandro triangle, the road from Fruitvale to Haywards being in bad condition. The race will be for ten miles, and there are twenty-five enfrants. The relay team of the Californias will be made up next week. The club will hold a run to witness to-morrow’s race, taking the 8:30 A, M. boat. 52 W. H. Fowler is a recent addition to the roll of the Bay City Wheelmen., Cycling is booming in Watsonville. The roads thereabouts are in excellent condi- tion and all classes of people have taken to wheeling. Thelocal club, the Paf‘]aro Valley Wheelmen, are active and will be heard from prominently this season.

Butfrom theindications it would seem that the local talent will have to be in the best possible condition to prevent | many of these trophies from going East. SPALDING. ROD AND GUN. Good Work of the Fish Commission—Berges and the Big Fish, Anglers who are now looking over their tackle and figuring upon a good day’s trouting on the first day in April may safely count upon a successful opening to what now gives promise of being a good season for trout fishing. Although Mr. Emeric may have many opponents who do not coincide with him in his ideas relative to duck shooting on saltmarsh lands, it goes without saying that as a Fish Commissioner he s certainly the right man in the right place, as he will leave no stone unturned in seeing that the rivers are stocked with game fishes and the fiellds and woods with game birds and ani- mals. ‘Already the outline of Emeric’s policy is manifesting itself in a most pleasing man- ner to all lovers of angling, of whom there are many in this city. In the past seasons the CAzr has time and again called the attention of the Commissioners to certain streams where poaching was carried on in a most shumeiui)mzmner by men who took leasure in boasting of what they would o if a Deputy Commissioner attempted to arrest them. The result was that the dep- uties who were dispatched to the poaching grounds patrolled only such places as were SISSON HATCHERY ON THE SACRAMENTO RIVER. [From a photograph.] Jose during the coming of the Oly: on relay team, while Burke may join the { Acme Club of Oakland. Santa Barbara is soon to hold arace Santa Ana now has an excellent and there is one of five laps at Riverside. Wheeling is booming at Los Angeles. The Visalia Cycling Club has recently joined the league of American wheelmen. The_following new members have been elected by the Olympic Club wheelmen: F. M. Speyer, C. A. Adams, H. Justins, J. A. Code, F. P. Lindley, H. C. Johnson, V. Harris and J. J. Sweeney. The wheelmen have adopted a new set of by- laws. Much_satisfaction is expressed at the personnel of the relay team selected by Long and Hob: h in last Wednes < CaLL, the impression being general that the team comprises the ten best road-riders in the club. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold another ten-mile handicap road race Sun- day, March 24, for members only. Entries close the night before the race. The time of start and course have not yet been selected, but Captain Dodge thinks he will take his men down to SBan Mateo and ride from there to Redwood City, as after last Sunday’s ride the men are greatly dissatis- fied with the triangle at San Leandro. The first relay this year will leave this city as follows: Starting on Market street, near Ninth, down Ninth to Potrero avenue (instead of Howard street, as formerly) and out said avenue to the San Bruno road. The Garden City Cyclers have omitted from their list of events for the meet of April 19 and 20 the proposed ten-mile club race and substituted in its stead a one- change'is to be regretted, as the club race always excites a great deal of enthusiasm among the riders and club men, and more glory attaches to the winning of such an event than to a mile scratch. However, | taken altogether the programme of races offers some excellent sport and the meet will without question be a great success, particularly as so many of the Eastern cracks will ride. One question which interests a good many just at present is: Are the Eastern riders now here and to come, going to race at the meet to be given in this city on Avpril 16 by the Bicycle Track Association? ‘Without question they will if they are in condition. Bald and McDonald tried the Central Park track last Tuesday, and were delighted with its banking and general ap- pearance, their only complaint being directed to the wind on the back stretch, which is a fault that may be remedied. Ziegler always did like the track, and so do Foster, Wells, Terrill and the other crack class B riders. Edwards has never raced on this track, but after a trial of it recently said he thought it was the equal of any four-lap track he had ever ridden on. F. Edward Spooner of Chicago, who was at one time a celebrated long-distance in- door rider, recently conducted a party of racing cyclists to Mexico, the party includ- ing Maddox, Leonert, and other well- known flyers, known as the “All_Ameri- can” team. They are now in El Paso, where they will race on the 14th to the 17th of this month and will then proceed to Los Angeles. M. F. Dirnberger has joined them, and inducements are now be- ing extended to the entire crowd to come here and race at San Jose next month. Owing to the presence of Bald, Macdonald, Edwards and Ziegler there, it is quite likely they will do so. The Reliance Club wheelmen and the Acme Club wheelmen of Oakland will each hold a road race over the San Leandro course on Sunday, March 24. The result will finally determine of whom their relay teams will consist. The Liberty CyclinF Club held a very en- jogable ladies’ night fast Tuesday evening, which was well attended. To-day Presi- dent Morton of this club will start for a week’s trip to Stockton and vicinity. The ciub will_hold a five-mile handicap road race April 14. Next Friday evening the Garden City Cyclers hold their first reception in their new clubhouse for members and their lady friends, and the next night will hold a “smoker.” A large number of wheelmen from this city will attend the latter func- tion, riding down Saturday afternoon. ‘Windle, Bald and Macdonald pronounce the Garden City cyclers’ new track a record-breaker, and are delighted with San Jose’s climate for training. Windle says the reception accorded himself and the racers last Wednesday night was the finest they have ever received while travel- ing around the connt;y. A big coaching party is being arran, for the visitors, to take in the Santa Clara Valléy and Stan- ford University. To-morrow Captain Del- mas has called a cross-country run, the destination of which is a secret.” The pro- The San Diego Cycling Club has reeentlz E:sed matinee races for to-morrow have elected the following officers: Presiden en postponed one week, as the track will n, which was_published | | | mile, class A, invitation from scratch.

The Commissioners did not question the veracity of the deputies. but to all requests to stop the killing of trout by means of spear and rod the answer was, ‘“We have done our duty and our deputies report that no poaching has been done.” The anglers of this city are very much pleased that a change for the better has resulted and that in Emeric they have a champion who will see that the poachers will be brought over the coals and given to understand that fishing out of season isa thing of the past. John H. Davis, a deputy who has been recently appointed by Mr. Emeric, proved, during’a few weeks of service, that he is Est the man for the position of patrolman. e has succeeded in making two or three arrests on streams that have been for years the rendezvous of poachers. Davis did not turn his back on_ the fish de- stroyers, and if his brother deputies would only ao likewise when they are sent out to arrest poachers the parent fishes of the coast streams would soon restock those waters which are now (‘omparalively use- less—that is, from an angler’s point of view. J. M. Morrison of Sacramento, whose photograph appeared in yesterday’s CavLy, isa well-known sportsman who has given much time and attention to shooting and to game birds. In an interview Mr. Mor- rison stated that the introduction of for- eign birds bad been neglected and that he will do all in his power to advance the in- terests of the sportsmen whose end has heretofore been neglected byjthe gentlemen who have composed the ilish and Game Commission. Every Scotch angler knows what a game fish the Loch Leven trout is—a fighter that has afforded no end of excitement to lovers of angling who have been fortunate in testing their skill and experience against the Loch Leven’s wild runs and great leaps for liberty while fighting for freedom. In a year or so the anglers of this State may have an opportunity of comparing the game qualities of the Loch Leven trout with the native steelhead and rainbow. There are at present several thousand young “Highlanders” enjoying the clear and cold waters of a smalllake adjacent to the Sisson hatchery. The youngsters are now about one year old anX average from five to seven inchesin length. The com- mission received a consignment of 30,000 eggs a fear or so ago from the United States Fish Commission at Northville, Mich., and the result.of the experiment of introducing ‘‘the clans” into California waters has been most successful. The little fellows are now having a gay old time in Clinks Lake, so called, and the superintendent of the Sisson hatchery writes that it is a pleasure to see them leaping out of the clear water and other- wise enjoying themselves. . Deputy Fish Commissioner McFarland is at Eresent watching for poachers who slaughter the rainbow trout that are try- ing 1o get over the dam in the Klamath River, near Pokegama, Siskiyou County. The rainbow’s principal breeding-ground is the headwaters of Shovel Creek, which stream empties into the Klamath River near the hot springs. The 1st of April will shut off the Sunday fln&lers this year, but those who can spare a Monday for a Sunday will be in the swim, and from all accounts the ‘“‘gentle artists” may hope for good baskets of young steelheads. The Fish and Game Commissioners have elaborately fitted up quarters in room 78, Flood building. The board will be plensed to see all lovers of shooting and- fishing, and the secretary, who is a most obliging young man, takes much pleasure in giving whatever information he has at hand to interested parties. Several beautiful en- gravings of sea and river fishes adorn the walls of the compartment. Of the many beautiful specimens of midget flies now on exhibition at 416 Mar- ket street the ones tied by Miss Benn are certainly superior to any Scotch or English §a§!erns that have been handled by Henr kinner for many years. They answer ad- mirably for coast stream fishing. The Recreation Gun Club will hold a trap shoot to-day at the Oakland track and the Lincoln Gun Club will burn powder at Blue Rock, at Alameda Point. It is said that the editor of a Sonoma paper has been fishing the small streams which empty into the Sonoma Creek for some weeks past, and he thinks it is no sin either. Whatsay the Fish Commissioners? John Bergez, John Lemmar, Achille Roos, J. Osborn, Billy Brown and A. Rudolph had great fishing last Sunday in the Treckmorton goon. John Bergez has had his arm in splints up to yesterday, the result of playing a big fish forsixty-five minutes. Bergez, by some hook or crook, fastened his hook in the fish’s tail, and there was a picnic, which completely knocked the well-known sportsman out before the denizen ‘‘threw up the sponge.” Lemmer assisted Bergez in landing the beauty, which scaled” eleven and a half pounds. Lioyd Eaton surprised the anglers of Paper-mill Creek last Sunday by landing a large fish under the noses of old veter- ans. Had it not been for poor tackle he would have had another whopper that car- ried away twenty-five yards of the angler’s line. It was Eaton’s first experience in tide-water fishing and it goes without say- ing. that he shows now well-developed symptoms of the angling fever. ATHLETICS. Schoolboys Who Will Race To-Day—Gaelic ames at Central Park. Judging from the great interest that is manifested in the second semi-annual field day of the Academic Athletic League, the beautiful outdoor grounds of the Olympic Club will be crowded this afternoon with young ladies and young men who have become deeply enthused over the games. The Oakland High School won a very pronounced victory at the last meeting, which was held in October, over the Boys’ High School, but the representatives of the latter are very sanguine of turning the tables on the Oaklanders this afternoon. With the exception of Cheek the Oak- land High School has lost her best men, namely, Wilbur, Rosborough and Little- field. Tt is said that Cheek will enter in two events onl{;, the 120 hurdle and the shot-put. At the last field day Wilbur won the hammer-throw and Littlefield won the 880 yards and mile race. Rosborough captured the pole vault and high jump, and Cheek led in the broad jump: It will be seen, therefore, that the Oakland High School will not have such a good chance of victory to-day with such good material missing. However, the Boys’ High School and the Berkeley High School will make a great bid for first place, and, as a matter of course, a close race for the gold medals may be expected between the contesting schools. One of the special features of the day will be an open 100-yard dash in which Scoggins, the Berkeley University flyer,and Leonard Gill, the Olympic Club’s cham- pion sprinter, will contest. This event will give a line on what Scoggins may ac- complish in sprint racing when he will face the ‘“‘cinder diggers” of the East at the championship meetings. The following is a programme of the afternoon’s races in which representatives of the San Francisco Boys’ High School, Berkeley Gymnasium, Oakland High School, Berkeley High School and Ala- meda schools will participate: Open 100-yard dash, handicap—A.

In addition to the programme of Gaelic ames which appeared in last Monday’s 'arr, and which will be carried out to- morrow afternoon at Central Park, the following events have been added: A tug-of-war between teams selected from the Gaelic Association and the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles, as follows: Gaelics — J.

The Pacific Kennel Club’s bench-show, which opens in this city on May 8, promises to be the most successful of any that has yet been seen on the Pacific Coast. From 400 to 500 dogs are expected to be benched, many of which will come from the coast. A letter from Victoria, B. C., states that John Davidson, Who Will Judge the Dog Show. [From a photograph.] twenty-four dogs from that city will be entered. It is expected that Seattle and Tacoma, too, will be represented, as will also Los Angeles and Fresno. The management of the bench-show will be in the hands of E. H. Williams, who has on three former occasions occupied a similar position for the club, with thor- ough satisfaction to all the members thereof and to all the owners whose dogs were in his care. It is also to Mr. Wil- liams’ credit that no dog has ever been lost L E. H. Williams, Superintendent of the Bench Show. [From a photograph.] or injured in any of the shows in this city under his charge. The office of the club at 630 Market street will be opened for business on the 1st of April, and the premium list of the show will 2lso be ready by that date. The committee will introduce on this occasion prizes for the best decorated ken- nels, and Miss Mary D. Bates, a well-known floral artist, has kindly consented to judge the same.

A relay race of one mile between three clubs of the league will be one of the most interesting features of the day. The en- tries are: Parnells—J. J. Hurley, G. Brown, W. Conroy and T. Hurley. Emmets—F. Palmer, F. Creed. J. O'Dowd and M. O'Dowd. San Franciscos—M. McInerney, M. Harrington, J. McCarthy and M. Lynch.

A majority of the games, which will consist of running, jumping, weight-put- ting, etc., for young and old, are open to all those who will enter on the grounds. , COURSING. Events That Will Be Witnessed by Large Crowds To-morrow. The principal dogs noted for their run- ning qualities will skip over the sham- rocks of Casserly’s Park to-morrow—Ire- land’s great day. The entry, which is large, is ¥laccd at $10 a dog and_the pro- prietors of the park have. adged $50 to the émrse. When such dogs as_Skyrocket, kyball, Stamboul, fcn feilow, Jack Dempsy, Annie Laurie, Waratah, Nellie Conroy, Gold King, Flying Buck, Ruby, Stamboul Queen and others of the great family of racing canines meet good sport should result. . A coursing club will soon be organized in Modesto, and the new venture will have its first outing early next month. The Interstate Club will hold its spring wmeeting this year on the 80th of May, (Decoration day), in one of the parks near the city. Nominations will be $10 a dog. There will be a sixteen-dog stakes to- morrow at Kerrigan’s Golden Gate Cours- ing Park, and as the date is St. Patrick’s day Mr. Kerrigan will admit all the sports- men to the field free of charge.

He judged the St. Louis shows in 1876-77-78, the Baltimore in 1876- 77-78, the Westminster in 1877, the Boston in 1878 and the San Francisco in 1886-88 and 1891. THE OARSMEN. That Are Tr gatta. The Southend Rowing Club has nearly completed its arrangements for the re- gatta at EI Campo on Decoration day. Judging from the large number of entries the races will be the most exciting ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast. The course—one and a half miles, with a turn— has been so laid out jthat the races from start 1o finish may be seen by thousands standing on the shore at El Campo. The Olympic Club's crew took a long row from the Southend’s boathouse last Sunday morning and were coached by the veteran Dan Dougherty. Aswas expected, Bob McArthur has selected a splendid crew, and the way they handled the oars showed that they are by no means novices at the art of rowing. They are evenly divided in weight, should pull well together, and if they train faithfully will certainly make it interesting for all concerned. Two crews from St. Mary’s College com- menced training Saturday afternoon last, It took but a short time for the well-trained athletes of the college to make themselves masters of the oars. Some of them are ac- Olubs the Re- ing for Sea Spray vs. V. W. Guerrero’s Tempest, D. Dunlea’s Jim Corbett vs. T. O'Brien’s Lamp- lighter, J. Tracy’s Sandow vs. W. Creamer’s Re- gent, E.

The Acme Club’s oarsmen have been doing gymnasium work preparatory to their trial trip on the water. Their train- ing in the boats dates from Sunday next. If they are all inspired with the same en- thusiasm and ambition as Captain Cliff McClellan, they will certainly give a good account of themselves.

SACRAMENTO, March 15.—The consoli- dation of the Capital City and Sacramento Athletic wheelmen clubs seems to have added renewed impetus to the interest which has already been displayed in bicycle circles in this locality, and rarely a week passes thata club run is not made to some outlying town. Active preparations are being made for a road race, to take place on the 30th of May, over the Riverside course, and club members are in training for the event. It is the intention of the new club to hold a race meet, open to all comers, on July 4, at Agricultural Park, in this city, and every endeavor will be put forth to make this the meet of the season. Inducements will be offered that will draw wheelmen from all portions of the coast, and it is claimed that the prize list will be the largest ever offered in the State. Last Sunday eighteen members of the club took an outing run to Folsom, a dis- tance of twenty-two miles. The ride is one of the pleasantest runs in the State, over a perfectly level road, through a rich valley bordered for miles with orchards in full “bloom. These outings are always taken at slow speed, no scorching being in- dulged in. The Bacramento Coursing Club held a meeting at its headquarters in this city last evening to perfect arrangements for the meet which will be held at Sheldon on Sunday next. Dogs were drawn as follow Harry Gordon’s Siwash vs. F. Gunther’s Ring Neck, T. Da; Do Run vs. J. Ken- nedy’s Vigilant, F. Christophel’s Gilt Edge vs. J. McMahon’s Wildwood, E. W. Jones’ P.
