The Olympic . €lub’ Wheelmen -had ‘a mieeting last eveningand. judging from the way they talked of Castleman, the South- ern wheelmait. who lad promised to. ride with thein in the greatroad racé of mnext Saturday, it is'only Yeasonable to presume that the Olympic:Club'will' not be. repre- sented in the Tace.. ‘The . political -adviser of the eyclists; Jack Mc@lynn, stated that Castleman is 4 teal mean fellow. because he and promised to ride with the:Ac¢me. Club team. : It-is triwe that Castleman has con- sented to ride.with the A¢me Club’s team, and as‘a consequence the Olympic.boys feel d.may not be:represented in: the urday. - McGlynn is the adviser of ‘the Olympic Club Wheelmen;. and -his ‘prognostications. are generatly accepted- us - law.

That portion of the report was adopted, and it ‘wasresalved. that those w-ho placed certificates. were .to be allowed 5 per cent commission.. The committee. presented 4 suggestion that a financial statemént be drawn_up, to show what money had been réceived by the |. association’and how it had been disbursed. This was also adopted.

Corbétt, talking of proposed changes in the boxing rules as advocated by the Olympic Club at New ' Orleans, declared himself op- posed to niaking five-ininute rounds and two-minute rests. It is notnecessary,.he said, forany changes, and none are likely ¥ The- present rules were adopted by universal consent; and nothing short of that can change them. If L the Olympic Club is allowed to make | changes every clubin the country can do | the same thing, and there would be no standard for .boxing tournaments. Cor: “bett is opposed to two-minute rests ‘be- cause it would give a winded man too much chance to recuperate. MNGLER AND SPORTSH, Trout-Catchers Report That the Streams Are Too High. The Governor Asked to Appoint a Commissioner From the South. Some of the anglers who took their de- parture from this city last Saturday with the intention of having the first whip of the season at favorite streams have re- turned, and report that the creeks are too high for good fishing. Messrs. Swan, O’'Rourke, Williams- and Douglas attacked the Glen Ellen stream and some of its {ributaries on Monday, but they retired from the whip 'after a few hours’ fishing somewhat disgusted with their luck. The stream is yet too high, and the recent freshet has Tesulted in decreasing the appe- tites' of the steelhead inhabitants, who would not be tempted with either roe, shrimp, worm, spoon or fly. The largest fish taken on Monday weighed three pounds. It was landed from a pool oppo- site the Mervyn Hotel. Mr. Williams said that dynamite must have been used in the ools between Glen Ellen and the damr, as banks that bore indications of having been killed by some explosive. there are a good many small trout in the creek that will afford good sport for anglers just as soon as the water becomes clear. ¥hie best-illing fiy on the Sonoms At this season of the year is Benn's Royal Coach-. man. 5 Reporfs. from Paper-mill Creek, La- are much the same ashave been-received from thosé who had fished the Sonoma Creek, viz.: water. too high and off color. Sonie members .of the Country Club did fairly well by worming the small creek that meanders through Bear Valley. Several nicely sized trout filled the creels of the lucky -club anglers. The Olema Creek panned out very well for those who fished that stream. Contractor McLaughlin caught fifty nice fish in Purissima Creek, and says that.the trout of that favorite re- sort lrave not yet finished spawning; as many of the fish he had.taken contained roe.or milt. The Taylor brothers of South San Francisco fished the San Gregorio and Purissima creeks and report having had ood success, returning with well-filled askets of small fish. Should the weather remain fine all the creeks will be in gaod order by next Sunday, and good sport. should follow. : ‘The following communication from C. A. Loud of the Southern California Ken- nel Club at Los Angeles is self-explanatory.
