THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1895. The wheelmen are now looking forward fo the great race meeting which will be held in San Jose next week. Record- smashing is sure to result. A number of road races have been slated for to-day. Among the sportsmen the greatest interest is manifested 1 the live-bird and blue- rock shoots which are held on Sundays at the Oakland track. Anglers have learned that good fishing will not result until next month, when the rivers and creeks will not contain too much water. There will be two coursing meetings in San Mateo County to-morrow. This afternoon the athletes of the Berke- ley and Stanford universities will hold games at the Olympic grounds. THE WHEELMEN. All Ready for the Great San Jose Meet on Friday and Saturday.

D. Sheidon, for it was these three men who selected 'and placed the team and kept after the men and with them until the race was over. Now that the relay has passed, interest in matters of cycling has centered in San Jose, where a great race-meet will be held next Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20. San Jose lone in its ability to attract crowds to bicycle races on weekdays. In any other part of the State such an event would be a failure. The racers from differ- ent parts of the State are already in daily training at the track, and the work they are doing clearly demonstrates that Cali- fornia is to witness some wonderful riding next week. The surprise of the week is the wonder- ful development of Coulter. A week ago he was slow compared with the others, but now he is riding as fastas Ziegler. Every day the two of them have desperate sprints down the stretch, Coulter invariably lead- ing across the tape. Thursday, after a hard afternoon’s work, he rode an unpaced third of a mile, flying start, in 38 1-5 sec- | onds, which is under the world's record. | and the last eighth in 14 seconds. Hé made the last quarter in 28 seconds Har- bottle is also riding very fast, making a mile in 2:06 Thursday.

Cyelers of San Jose good deal about the followed some of their 7 seem to have forgotten hard luck wic best men. T that the falls their men suffered were but part of the race and might as well be attributed to careless or reckless riding. For instance, when T. Delmas went bead over heels near Milbrae it was his own iault through look-| ing around. Carey was fortunately clo by with a new wheel fitted to Delm which the latter got on and was but little del On this , when Ha k his terrible fall, mowing down | the whole bunch, Delmas was up front setting pace, and consequently escaped the tumble which the others took. Was this Olympics made a game race throughout, and would have been a prominent factor had not thelr team been crippled before the race was run by the injury of three of their best riders, neces- sitating two withdrawing and the subs tution of u ined men latter, how proved a wonder, J. E. 0 won his relay in handsome aking a severe header near the ter rode a great finish, as he *s, and was behind only be- cause the men before him kept him back. The Acme Club put up a great contest, finishing a_trifle over a minute behind the leaders. There were some errors in judg- ment in the riding of this team. Kitchen did not make his relay as fast as he could bave done, owing to a dispute with Alex- ander, the hant»n City rider, as to pace- making. Byrne, on the seventh, can do much gem.er than 28:57 any day. Rose, on the eighth, would not accept the lead which Byrne gave him, but waited for the Bay City man, Terrill. The latter can ride rings around Rose, as the result of their relay showed. Castleman made a fine fin- ish, though a collision with a dog lost him fully & minute. 1t was a day of accidents and incidents, yet very satisfactory to the wheelmen of this city, in that a local club won a fair and hotly contested race, granted as being the greatest event of its kind in the world. Eastern wheelmen have no such annual race, aithough different localities have from time to time held 100-mile relay races, and even 1000-mile interstate relay races from Chicago to New York. The Jatest in San Jose since the relay is that the San Jose Road Club wants to race the Garden City Cyclers around the Lay with the same two teams that com- eted in last Sunday’s event, the Road Club reserving the privilege of putting another man on the last ten miles in place of Ziegler. I am inclined to think if they can have Ziegler they had better keep him on that last relay; he may be needed. ¥ In Oakland a proposition i on foot to arrange another 100-miie relay race be- tween the Acme Club Wheelmen and the Bay City Wheelmen of this city, the teams to be the same as competed in the race last Sunday. Both clubs are willing if a suitable tropby can be provided for. A very good picture is presented here- with of the winning team, that of the Ba; City Wheelmen, the personnel of which is as follows: T. A. Griffiths, 21 years, 156 pounds; C. 8. Wells, 26 years, 190 pounds; Archie Reid, 24 years, 180 pounds; W. A. Terrill, 20 years, 180 fioun s; T. S. Hall, 19 years, 146 pounds; H. F. Terrill, 21 _years, 18 pounds; F. G.

Languetin, 22 years, 130 pounds; E.TUl- bricht, 33 years, 160 pounds, Average age, 22)4 years; average weight, 159 3-10 pounds. aptain Theodore C.

Byrne of the Imperials will commence training on Monday. The class A one-mile race is going to be a fine event, and as tandem pacing is to be put in the final of the heats the record may be lowered.

A Tandem pacing will also be put in the one-mile invitation and the two-mile scratch, class B, the Garden City Cyclers being desirous of getting records for their new track. The following sweeping challenge has been issued by the “‘kindergarten” of the Garden City Cyclers: We here announce that the Garden City Cyclers' “kindergarten” would like to arrange aTace with any kindergarten team (members under 19 years of age) on the Pacific Coast, from a quarter-mile dash up to-a fifty-mile relay race.

To-morrow afternoon the California Cy- cling Club will hold the first of a series of one-mile handicap club races at Central Park. Three of these will be run every other Sunday, the intermediate Sundays being devoted to club-runs. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold a club run to-morrow to Blythedale, Marin Coun- ty. under Captain Dodge, riding from Saa- salito. They leave hereon the 9 a. M. boat, and unattachéd riders are cordially in- vited to accompany them. The ride is easy, and a good dinner isassured the tourists at their destination. To-day the San Francisco Young Men's Christian = Association Cycling Club will hold its initial road race over the five-mile course from San Mateo to San Carlos, Etflflinf about 2:30 p. M. The complete entry list with the riders’ handicaps was exclusively published in the CAry last Wednesday. To witness the race specta- tors should take the train which leaves Third and Townsend streets at 11:45 A. M. There are nineteen entrants, the scratch man being J. E. Edwards, who rode the first relay for the Olympic Club last Sun- day, covering the ten miles in 29 min. 85 3-5 sec., faster time than was made by any other rider over this relay before. J. A. Ostendorf has just been enrolled as a member of the Bay City Wheelmen. The regular meetin§ of the California As- sociated Cycling Clubs. will be held this evening at the rooms of the Olympic Club Wheelmen. There is a great deal of busi- ness to be transacted. The Santa Rosa ‘Wheelmen have applied for membership and will be voted upon and undoubtedly elected. The matter of confining future relay races to class A riders only, as exclu- sively published in the CaLL on Wednes- day last, will also be brought up for dis- cussion and all delegates should not fail to be present. The quarter-mile track at Alameda is being put in condition for training pur- poses, and the Oakland and Alameda racers will now have equal advantages with the wheelmen of this city and San Jose. . The Liberty Cycling Club of this city will hold its initial five-mile handicap road race to-morrow, from High street, Fruit- vale, to San Leandro, starting at 10 A. M. The entries and handicaps are as follow: F. irelan, 1 min. 50 sec.; L. Andre, 1 mi 50 sec.; O. St. Denis, 1 min. 50 sec,; Koch, 1 min. 20 sec.; A. Joost, 1 min. 20 sec.; 8. Honigsberger, 40 sec. ; Q. Steinan, 40 sec.; C. Bouton, 40 sec.; . Irelan, 40 sec.; C. Meyer, 40 sec.; C. T. Roach, A. 'W. Shields and E. Bellman, scratch. The Imperial Cycling Club has had a committee at work for the past week formulating a plan for the incorporation of the club. A report will be made at the meeting next Monday night. The ciub has just received 100 of the elegant gold buttons recently ordered for members, the design being a royal crown of gold, the center set with pearl enamel, on which ap- pears in white letters, “Imperial C. C.” To-morrow the Imperial Club will haye a club run to Camp Taylor, led by Captain Egan. They will start on the 9 a. M. Sau- salito ferry and take the train to' San An- selmo, and will wheel from there to Camp Taylor and return, a distance of twelve miles each way. Frank M. Byrne, the well-known eclass A racer of this club, goes to San Jose this morning to commence ac- tive training for the great races there next Friday and Saturday. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold a club run to-day to Petaluma. They will take the 8 A, m. Tiburon ferry and "local train to San Rafael, riding from that point. The distance each way is about twenty-two miles. The Olympic Club Wheelmen propose to have a nquet among themselves and Messrs. Thornton, Stratton and Hunter have been appointed a committee to ar- range time and place. If it is on a par with their “‘smoker’”’ last January it will certainly be a very jolly gathering. W. C. Lovie of Redwood City, a very fast rider, rode the third relay for the Califor- nia Cycling Club last Sunday and met with an accident. Hisnamesake, Lou W. Lovey of this city, a well-known wheelman, has since been receiving innumerable letters from his friends offering sympathy and asking as to_his condition. Mr. Lovie of Redwood City has about receyered from ghe collission and consequent fall he suf- ered. Racing men will do well to keep their eyes on the Santa Rosa rose carnival, to be to be held May 8, 9and 10. Bicycle races will be run every day in conjunction with the general programme, and as the prizes will be up to the standard a good many of the local riders will doubtless compete. A good chance for a “pot-hunting”’ expedi- tion for some crack class B man here pre- sents itself. Captain Peppin, the newly elected road officer of the San Jose Road Club, has called a run to-day for Palo Alto, stoppin, at Santa Clara to witness the five-mile roat race for the Santa Clara championship, to start at 9 A. m. Next Tuesday evening there will be an entertainment and ball at the Road Club Hall. C. E. High won the medal offered by the club ‘to the man attending the most ruas, he having at- tended them all. W. Harris, who was injured badly in the relay race, is slowly improving, but will not be out for some time. A committee has been appointed to secure if possible the use of the Central Park track in this city on which to hold a race meet, there being no track available for the club’s use in San Jose. The club has some good men entered in the races to be held at San Jose next week including: Ziegler, McFarland, Schwall, Larder, Nav- let, and Carroll, Benson, Peppin and Belloli in the novice. The Sonoma Bicycle Club has recently been organized with the following officers: E. R. Perkins, president; Fred Batto, vice- president; George W. Reed, captain; Ben- jamin Weed, secretary; H. H. Granice, treasurer. E. P. Lewis is actively engaged in organ- izing a bicycle club in Ukiah, that thriving town now having a great many wheelmen. The Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland will hold a run to-morrow to Oak Grove, on the road to San Pablo, where a lunch will be spread and the riders will be joined ! by the trampers’ annex of the club. A large party of ladies rode up from San Jose last Saturday afternoon to lend the encouragement of their presence to the Garden City Cyclers in the great relay race Sunday. After the race, in which their club finished an easy third, they rode back to San Jose on the Oakland side of the bay, much discouraged, and with half an intent tion of joining the Associated Clubs them- selves and entering a team in next year’s event. The riders were all members of the Ladies’ Cycling Club of San Jose, an organization with a large membership of enthu c wheelwomen. R. Harry Kavanagh, M. Mitchell Shields and a party of four other wheelmen rode to San Jose last Sunday. It was their first trip for such a distance, but they arrived in good shape, though very tired. Shields was an old-time member of the Bay City Wheelmen and one of the best ordinary riders on the coa: SPALDING. THE ANGLER. Oatching Fingerlings in Paper-Mill Oreek. Those Who Had Good and Poor Luck, Among the large number of anglers who returned from Point Reyes and vicinity last Sunday evening was an old veteran stream-whipper who has not missed an opening day of the trout-fishing season since 1870. His basket contained several small fish, with an occasional good-size trout for display purposes on top of the beap. He said that of the many streams he bad fished in the past twenty years the Paper-mill was the most prolific of any creek, considering the enormous quan- tity of fingerlings and large fish that have been taken from it, especially in recent years. “Why, if the Fish Commissioners fail to keep this beautiful stream well stocked with trout every vear,” said the old angler, “there cannot possibly be any trout in the stream in five years hence. See this crowd? Why, there are enough anglers here to clean out the creek from top to bottom. The Lagunitas and Paper- mill are very convenient to this city, and the train time to Point Reyes is such that an angler can leave in the morning, get five or six hours of fishing and return on the same-day with a nice mess of fish. This is the principal reason why the Paper-mill is so largely patronized by the fraternity. .““Now, there are other streams not any further from the city—the Sonoma, for instance, where just as good fishing, if not better, can be had, but the railway accom- modations are such that only those who can afford two days’ vacation can visit Glen Ellen. “If a train was run to the latter place on Sunday mornings, returning from Glen Ellen at 5 p.m., I have no doubt that the Sonoma Creek would receive a large amount of the patronage the North Pacinc road is now enjoying. There are several good streams south of this city, such as the Los Gatos, Boulder and their tribu- taries, that will pan out splendidly until the latter part of the season, but the rates to those places are too high, and as a con- sequence few anglers from San Francisco visit them on flying trips.”’ Many complaints have been made of the slaughter of fingerlings last Sunday by alleged anglers, many of whom actually boasted of their achievements. Any ang- ler who will boast of having killed sev- eral hundred little fish ranging in length from two to five inches should be con- signed to a glass case and presented to the Academy of Sciences as one of the living curiosities of the nineteenth century. If an angler cannot do any better on a stream than to fill his creel with a lot of little fry, he should quit fish- ing and wait until such time as the trout will have grown to something like decent proportions. Of course there are gluttons among anglers as well as in all other lines of sport, but the man who feelsa pride in hogglilng everything reiardless of size and weight is quickly marked out as being a fitting companion for those who, like him- self, will not stop at anything aslong as there is an opening for slaughter. Give the little fellows a chance to grow, Fentlemen. and when a fry of three or four inches happens to fasten to your hook take it off gently a% return the little fellow to its element. ho knows but the very fingerling that you liberated to-day may fill a large u%aee in your basket or that of a brother angler later in the.season? The Supervisors. of this city will be asked, in the near future, to pass an ordinance mak- ing it a misdemeanor for uni rson to have in their possession trout of less than six “‘inches” in lmflh. John Siebe and Al Wieland succeeded in basketing a nice lot of trout last Suud‘:Z from Throckmorton lagoon, a stream whi is fished only by members of the Tamalpais Club. Mr. Siebe landed one beauty which scaled 314 pounds. . Henry Hansen, who is probably better known among his acquaintances as “Tea- pot” Hansen, was one of the successful anglers who fished the Paper-mill last Sun- ay. Amonflg the most successful anglers who returned from Marin County on Sunday evening were George Twitchell, William Kittle, F. Dolliver, R. McMillan, W. Cooney, J. Douglas, J. Sammi, A. New- man, G. Knight, C. Ewing, C. Cate, O. Bransdorff, M, McDonald, A. Newman, J. Myers, K. Libby, R. Kerrison _and son, E. Cross, P. Dugan, 8. Riordan, Doc Simp- son, James Watt, R. Armstrong, A. Banker, O. Terry and A.Smith. Several nice trout were caught at or near the mouth of the creek in tidewater. W.F. Bogart and Joseph Shain tried their luck at Boulder Creek, but their catch was small. They report water too high and food too plentiful. H. Orear, J. Ryan and Fred Venkersome whipped some stream near Livermore with only oor success. Bob Hewson—‘“game-leg” ewson—Georie Walkerand another com- | panion fished the headwaters of Los Gatos with good success. Y % James Chesley of the Chronicle received 8 nice mess of trout on Thursday from a friend who returnec from the Purissima. R. F. Chapman had good success in Roll- ing Brook, which is a small stream that empties into the Garcia River, about twelve miles north of Point Arena. :: It is quite probable that the Spring Val- ley Water Company will open the San An- | game, hard for their match, which will be de- cided this month in the Los Angeles Ath- letic Club. If Gallagher has not retro- graded physically since the time he made such a splendid showing in this city against Tracey, the clever Australian, George Green will have a very interesting time while he is engaged.in the task of putting Gallagher to sleep. The contest should, however, prove well worth going a distance to see. ATHLETIOS. Officlal List of the Great Intercollegiate Games at the Olympic Grounds. * In case the weather is favorable this afternoon for outdoor athletics the ad- mirers of the sport can very safely count upon seeing games which should certainly attract an immense gathering to the Olympic Club’s outdoor ,{rounds. T'he crack athletics of the two universities, viz., Stanford and Berkeley, will meet in ath= Jetic competition, and as the entrants for the various events which have already been announced are in magnificent con- dition record-smashing should certaix}ly result. The star athletes of the University of California who are booked to meet the champions of different universities in the East next month will make their last ap- pearance oh this coast to-day in athletic competition prior to their departure. Their opponents from Palo Alto, according to the very latest intellizence, are ready for the and although they may meet with a — THELAST & Y A e o FROM THE RI{SB TO THE OREEL.

Now that there is a law prohibiting the catching of black bass before July I, the company will, nodoubt, be only too pleased to give anglers an opportunity of thinning out the millions of trout that are enjoying themselves in San Andreas Lake.

The salmon is ‘seen in the act of darting through a pool at a floating fly, and on finding his mistake he leaps from his element, showing that beautiful silvery coloring of the side which is such a charm- ing sight to the man who hasa fi%ht on hand that will tax all of his skill and cunning, The last struggle and the final landing of the beautiful prize on terra firma area joy and pleasure which only the thorough disciple of angling can well ap- preciate. "BOXING. Imperial Athletic Club Has Changed Hands and Fistioufls Will Be Resumed. . Professional bhoxing contests are to be resumed in the lmperial Athletic Club of Colma. Managers Bergen and McAuliffe have sold their interests in the club, and in futuré the resort will be managed by a prominent sporting man, who will leave nothing undone to popularize the sport of boxing. The contests, of course, will be limited to a certain number of rounds, and the referee will be instructed to stop any match wherein the vrincipals resort to bru- tality as a means of gaining a victory. The Colma Club will be fitted up in first-class style and the first match will take place somewhere about the middle of May. An attempt has been made to consummate a match between Peppers and King, bug, as the former has insisted that King must . weigh not over 154 pounds at the ringside the chances of a meeting between those men are decidedly poor. King has grown very stout since he last boxed in this city, and no matter_how hard and faithful he may train it will be impossible for him to get down lower than 160 pounds and be in lleyglnd of form for a ten or twenty round u James Anthony, an Australian bantam- weight, arrived a few days ago, and in case he cannot succeed in securing & match on this coast he will journey eastward, where hs will be readily accommodated. Anthony is said to be a very clever fellow, and judf- ing from his appearance he should be abl to give a good account of himself among the best of company. According to latest reports from Los An- geles Gallagher and Green are 8] defeat, it can be very safely said that some of the boys who will don the cardinal colors of Stanford have some big surprises in store for those who are now confident of seeing Berkeley throwing cinders in Stan- ford’s eyes. : Scoggins and Barnes, the champion sprinters of Berkeleg, will need be in good condition to defeat Stanford’s crack short- distance runners. Scoggms is credited with having run 100 yardsin 10 seconds, but if he will do 10} to-day the crack sprinters of the Olympic Club will be sur- rised, as they have put Scoggins down ?or 10%¢ seconds, The track is in exceilent condition; in fact it could not be any better for sprinting, and should the wind remain low during the afternoon there can be no excuse offered by the contestants for poor performances. According to the very best authorities on athletics the greatest feats that have taken place at a field-day on this coast will be placed in the shade to-day. An athletic meeting such as will be given this afternoon should attract an immense crowd, and it goes without saying that when the games are overa good opinion can be formed of the popularity that first- class athletic sports commands on this coast. 1 “In order to maintain her relative rank with respect to Berkeley,”’ writes a cor- respondent from Palo™ Altq, “‘Stanford must make at least thirty-two points, but Captain Brown says thirty-eight is not too little to expect of his men, and if the boys make that score it will be largely due to the efforts of Brown himself, who has made a model track captain.” The following is an official list of events and entries by the two colleges: 100-%"(! dash—First heat: Stanford—Ber- nard, Woodward; Berkeley—Hupp, Scoggins. Second heat: Stanford Berkeley—Chick, Barnes. 220-yard dash—First heat: Stanford—Ber- nard; Berkeley — Barnes, ScogEinl. Second heat: Stanford—Woodward; Berkeley—M. An- tony, Magee: 0-yard dash—Stanford: Knowles, Hazzard; Berkeley—Koch, Hilborn, Budleg. Half-mile run—Stanford—D. Brown, Cope- land; Berkeley—Cole, Colt, Parkhurst. Mile run—Stanford—D.

Stanford expects much from all her men and is at a disadvantage in having but a single man in certain events where she should have three. It will be noted that Berkeley, in most of the events, has en- tered more men than Stanford, which gives her an advantage. : : 2 In the runs Bernard will give Scoggins a hard fight, and but for the former’s recent iliness there are many who are ready to assert that Bernard could make the 100 in 10 1-5 seconds. Woodward is doing well, but has not been in training as long as most of the men. Knowing ones say that both Brown and Copeland can make the 880-yard run in 2 minutes flat and the mile record for the coast is likely to be lowered by D. Brown from 4:36 to 4:33, or thereabouts. 3 Johnson and Culver at the broad jump are well over the 2i-foot 6-inch mark, and Culverand Dole each clear within a few inches of 10 feet at the pole vault. Whether Frazer can beat Dozier at the bicycle race is a question. Dozier has made a fine record in the southern part of the State against such men as Burke and Fox, but Stanfordians expect to see him left in the rear by Frazer. First place in the shot-put and hammer- throws will doubtless go to the U. C., but Stanford is likely to get second in both these events. ;. : The mile walk will be very interesting, as Farmer of Stanford walks in about the same time as Bakewell, Berkeley’s pride. HANDBALL. Contestants Who Will Meet fn the Oourts To-Morrow. The handball courts have prepared an excellent programme of games for to- morrow. At the San Francisco court a match has been arranged between two of the leading players of this city which, no doubt, will be very interesting as the players are very evenly matched and it is thought that whichever oneof the two will appear in the better physical condition when the game is called will capture the stake. Besides this special match there wiil be several other games of interest to the lovers of the sport. At the Union court Manager McManus has booked the followin Qla\'ers for the day: P.T. Don- nelly nns M. Dillon against J. Feeny and R. Linehan. T. McManus and C. Long against D. Doherty and H. Batzner. Jack Riordan and Jack Dillon against A. Pen- noyer ana William Kelly. The bill of athletic fare to be introduced at the San Francisco court reads: First game V. Darius ang G. Ward to play J. Brown and P. Barry, Second game—M. McNefl and G. McDonald to play J. Rodgers and P. Ryan. Third game—J. Slattery to play P. Kelly, a single-handed game for $25 & side. Fourth game—J. Morris and W. Fuller to play €. McKinnon and D. Connolly. 3 Fifth and final game—J. Jones, the Australian champion, to pll}' J Harlow and P. Cahill of Chicago the best of seven games for $50 a side. This game is exciting great interest in hand- ball e%reles.u Cahill_has two fine hands and his partner Harlow, the well-known amateur, is noted for his hard serving. A few bets have been made on the outcome of this game, with Harlow and Cahill on the long end. SACRAMENTO SPORTING. Morrison Goes After the Duck-Hunters, Coursing,” Wheeling and Angling, SACRAMENTO, April 13.—All that is talked about in shooting circles at the present time is the bluerock tournament to be held at the Kimball and Upson grounds in this city on the 21st inst., and many of the local trap-lovers are putting in their spare hours at practice shooting in the hope of giving visiting shots a close rally for the various prizes offered. Local shots are rapidly getting into form, asevinced by the scores made at the trap last Sun- day. Nicolaus, Chapman and Soule broke 23 out of 25; Flint, Newbert and Greenlaw accounted for 22 each, and Mohr, Upson. Chapman, Flint, E. Nicolaus, Morrison and Goerk smashed 20 of the bluerock fliers. The live-bird shoot of the Pelican Club, which takes place on the same date as the bluerock tournament; is also attracting great interest. The Spoonbill Club go to the trap to-morrow for their second club match and good scores may be looked for, as competition is active. g In cycling circles the interest is con- stantly increuain%, and bloomer costumes are constantly becoming more popular among the ladies. There are a number of country excursions arranged for to-mor- row in which the male contingency will convey the lunches for the parties, and runs will be made into the surrounding vicinity to a distance of twenty miles. The Athletic Clab Wheelmen will go on the tramn to Davisville and make a run to | Esparto via Woodland, probably returning by way of Winters. They claim that the | trip is beautiful, and anticipate much pleasure from their outing. Fish Commissioner Morrison says that the new law governing the fishing interests gives universal satisfaction to the majority of persons engaged in that occupation along the Sacramento River, and a num- ber of them have promised to keep him in- formed of any violation of the law that takes place. Morrison has made several trips ‘along the river, and is arranging a system of patrol that will make it a simple impossibility for the law to be violated. Knowing ones of this section claim that no better man could have been chosen to fill the bill. The ap})ointment of Mr. Helms as Game Warden for this county has struck dismay to the hearts of the hunters up and down the river, and never before have the lives and hnlppiness of the duck family been so aceful and assured. For years past it as been the custom for this class of gun- owners to kill all the duck necessary for the consumption of themselves and fami- lies at all times and seasons, but Warden Helms has been dropping onto them like a meteor out of a clear sky, and in several cases, scarcely had the blue smoke drifted from the muzzle of their guns when his hand fell on their shoulder, coming from they knew not where, in fact he seems to be everywhere and nowhere, and is proving himself a very efficient officer. . A party of young sportsmen boarded an incoming train in Yolo County this week andran into Commissioner Morrison, who ‘was returning from Davisville. “You had better allow me to inspect the contents of those game-bags, young men,” remarked the Commissioner. 1 can’t deny that I have a duck,” re- marked one of the party, as he displayed a fowl denuded of plumage and with its head, feet and wings cut off. ‘‘That’s all right, said Morrison, “take it home and eat it.” When the train ar- rived in Sacramento County Mr. Morrison m,glved up to the young man and said, “I'll take a look at that bird,” but no bird could be found, it had gone through the car-window when crossing the Yolo bridge. . There is talk of another coursing match in the near future aud dog-owners are looking forward to it with great in- terest. So far Governor Jim has proved himself to be the fastest footed of all the many fast dogs of Sacramento County, although Kelly’s pup Jack is a good second and bids fair to heag the list on reaching his majority. Judging by present com- ment these dogs will carry Sacramento County money in the next State meeting. RUTHERFORD. SAN JOSE SPORTING. News That Will Interest Wheelmen, Anglers and Sportsmen.

It is hoped that the counties bordering Santa Clara County will make as good selections, so that the destroying of the eggs and young of birds and the dynamiting of fish in this section can be stopped. & The excitement attendant on the open- ing of the trout season has somewhat abated, still the creeks within easy reach of the city are well fished and good-sized baskets taken. That the close season for trout should be extended to May 1is best evidenced by the large number of finger- lings that find their way to the frying- pan. In the more mountainous streams the water is yet a little too high for good fishing and the fish are rather sluggish in rising to the fly, as the high water earries down sufficient insect food.
