N ‘' THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1895. Great preparations are being made by the cyclists for a fitting celebration of the | Nation’s day. Race meetings will be held | at several places, and it is presumed that | record-breaking will occur. As this is the | season for enjoying the pure and sweet ozone of the country, wheel runs in all directions are slated for to-morrow. Trap. shooting is fast becoming very popular. Coursing is a weekly pastime enjoyed by lovers of the le: The oarsmen have concluded to bring aquatic sport on a | level with other pastimes that are now | flourishing, and, as a result, several crews | can be seen practicing on the pay in the vicinity of the boathouses. Cricket, tennis and angling are not far behind in the race | for popularity. — - THE WHEELMEN. Races at Santa Cruz To-Day—Asso- clated Clubs’ Joint Run. Club Events To-Morrow.

Most of the racing men and all the club members who can afford the time will be in Santa Cruz to-day and to-morrow, at- tending the carnival, and the cycling events in conjunction therewith. Several parties rode down Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. The Olympic Wheel- men started to ride down at 5 o’clock last night, resting at San Jose and going over the mountains early this morning. The racing men all left by train last night. The Pilot Wheelmen, who have in hand the management of the races, have done ything in their power to make their initial meet a success. The track is in good condition, the prizes liberal, and as all the fast men will compete success seems assured. The emblem of the Pilot Wheelmen is the most characteristic design for a cycling | club yet seen here. What could be more appropriate for a club with that name than | a pilot wheel with the letter P in the center? Put this on a man’s sweater and it requires no imagination whatever to de- | cide that iar question: “What club does he belong to?”" He is a Pilot wheel- man. The annual run of the Associated Clubs Emblem of the Pilot Wheelmen. comes next Sunday, and after that we will | K ard with pleasant anticipation to 1l meet of the League of Ameri- heelmen, to be held at San Jose on | v 4. The races wili be under the | s of the Garden City Cyclers on celebrated three-lap track, and the meeting will be on a par with that of last April. The foliowing is the list of events: Tiwe-thirds of a = niie, lhllnl"('l}'fi, 3 ing that the Cyciers e lot of prizes for these n be noticed that the usual novice race has been omitted. This is Lu>: a3 well, as it is uninteresting. Entry lanks will be sent out next week, and riders from al! over the State will undoubt- edly compete. At the last meeting of the Crescent Road Club the following officers were elected: tupa fin It President, J. Leve; vice-president, H. Hecht: treasurer, E. Tisfelder; recording wecretary, L. Bearwald; financial secretary, Izzie Cohn; sergeant-st-arms, A. Blumen: thal; captain, A. Bearwald; first lienten- ant, H. Gunderson; second lieutenant, L. Sittenheim. The following were elected to member- ship: George Thompson, William Lee, Thomas Brannen ana Fred Klopstock. The club holds a club run to Camp Tay- T to-morrow, leaving the clubrooms at 30 A. 2. and taking 8 A. u. Sansalito boat. Captain A. Bearwald is on an extended trip on his wheel through Sonoma Count, &nd intends mwaking Santa Rosa and Marl ‘West Springs before returning in time to dake the club on its run next unday. W. A. Terrill of the Bay Cily Wheelmen is making a splendid showing on the Na- tional racing circuit. At Syracuse, N. Y., ! on June 10, he won the mile handicap from eighty yards in 2:06 1-5 against such men as Bald, Murphy, Cabanne, Titus, Mac- donald, Coulter, Ziegler and 'men of equal prominence. At the same place on June 12, against the same competitors, he won a mile handicap from sixty-five yards in 2:113-5. As the season progresses he will develop even better form. The Outing Road Club had a most en- lo_vablp run last Sunday to San Rafael. For to-morrow no run has been called, but most of the members will aitend a picnic at Tamalpais. The annual joint ciub run of the Califor- | nia Associated Bicycle Clubs, to be held on Sunday, June 23, to Niles Canyon, will at- tract all the riders from San Jose, Oakland and this City to that point. It will prob- | ably be the largest joint run ever held in | this State. Messrs. R. Miller, A, C. Tupman, C. E. Harding, C. W. Beatty, K. E. Mastellar und J. 5 Baker started from Bakersfield on their wheels last Saturday afternoon for Visalis. arriving there at 3:30 A. 3. Sunday. Returning, they left Visalia at 3:30 p. M. Sunday and arrived homeat 120’clock mid- | wheeling trip to_any part of the The distance from Bakerstield to | |clinz races will be held. C. E. Harding, J. E. Baker, K. C. Mastellar and C. W. Beatty will represent the Bakersfield club in the quarter-mile race and the six-mile | road race. WL Btinson and James Coffroth, the | Olympic Wheelmen who lft last Satuzday awheel for Los Angeles, arrived at Paso Robles Tuesday. In a letter to the writer Mr. Stinson sa3 Arrived here last evening in good shape; made Salinas the second day, and run through to Paso Robles to-day. arring a few sandy | places the roads are great, and through Salinas Valley the wind fairly blows one along.

R gards to all. The Los Angeles wheelmen should be on ever, that his feet became badly blistered and altogether it was a rather disgrantle party that arrived in Redwood Sunday night in time for the last trai The scenery on this trip is grand, but one must be in good condition to stand the trials of the journey. Halfmoon Bay and Pescadero both have the wheeling fever, and there are many riders in the vi- cinity. James H. Lyons is 2 familiar figure awheel in the park early morningsand Sun- days. He has not yet attempted country riding, but will do so shortly. Captain Lyngreen has called a run of the Eintracht Cycle Club for to-morrow to Petaluma, leaving the hall at 7:30 A. M. One of the most enjoyable club runs of the season was held by the Eintracht Cycling Club to the Newell Bros.’ ranch, near Palo Alto, last Sunday. The boys Will | were admirably entertained by their hosts, |and it was with reluctance that they | started on their homeward journey. | _ Preparations are being made by the { Benicia Wheelmen, a club consisting of | seventy-five members, to hold the greatest | race meet on the Fourth of July that ever | was held in this part of the State. The track is a quarter mile and is in the public | park, in the heart of the city, which has een given to the wheelmen for their own | use by the Trustees of the town. Prizes ranging from $10 to $50 will be given. | Wheelmen from all the neighboring coun- | ties have signified their willingness to be present. There will also be a ladies’ race | for a prize valued at $25, which is creating | quite a furor among the lady cyclers; also ) a parade in the morning and an illumin_ FULLER AND LEMMON ON A TANDEM, the lookout for these two joily cyclists, who will make friends wherever they stop, and no doubt have a most enjoyable trip. Now that a 200-mile road record has been established for the course around the bay, | an attem}.t will be made shortly by Richar Siebe of the Golden Gate Cycling Club to lowerit. He is a very fast rider, with wonderful endurance, and his fellow mem- bers feel confident he can lower Sorenson’s record of last Sunday. The five-mile road race of the Golden Gate Club over the San Mateo course on June 30 will be hotly con- tested, as fully a score of riders are now | actively training for the event. Victor A. and Frank Hancock are still touring Northern California in the inter- ests of the revised roadbeok for the League of American Wheelmen. In a letter to his brother here, Victor writes from Eureka, under date of June 4, as follows: We arrived here O. K. after the roughest trip I have ever take: We left Ukiah Thursday morning and arrived here Monday noon, four and, a half days. Roads rough and muddy. Going thmnrh the redwoods it was all mud and mostly all waiking. It will be better in a month or %o. Plenty of walks up three and tour mile hills. We used drags with success down all the long grades. The roads for the last twenty-eight miles are pretty good. There are lots of wheels here and the interest taken in cycling is about the same as in other laces. There are two renting places. The eague hotel is the Vance House. We found every stopping place from Willits (first place out of Ukiah) ana Rio Deil was but & farmhouse, all about fifteen miles apart. Here in Eureka the boys are beginning to train for the Fourth of Jnlgr races. There are severai very good riders, and I might mention Roberts, Putnam and Ohman. We leave here to-mor- row for home, going along the coast as far as Guerneville, then through Santa Rosa and Napa Valley. The data which the Hancock brothers are securing for the roadbook will make that work of inestimable value to ail wheel- men. They secure maps of all localities, accurateiy measure distances by cyclome- ter, appoint league hotels, show where roads are good or bad, sandy or hilly, and make it so that any one contemflsting a State can by reference to the roadbook tell justabout how hard the trip will be, how long it will : take, the best conditions, etc. The book Two Feather-weights. cannot be purchased, but is given gratuit- ously toall members of the League of American Wheelmen in this State. The members of the Bay City Wheelmen are all ordering white duck cycling snits and will appear in them for the first time av the leagne meet at San Jose on July 4. Captain dge is arranging for a trip around the bay on a tug on July 7. J. W. Mullen, F. G. Montealegre and Dr. T. H. Morris of the Olympic Club Wheel- men made a trip through San Mateo County last Saturday, which was replete with incidents and accidents. They left here via train Saturday afternoon, and commenced wheeling to 8an Mateo, going in the direction of Halfmoon Bay. The roads were good and the‘grndeu easy, and they reeied off the first fourteen miles of thelr journey in time. A fter leaving Halfmoon Bay the road is very nnd{ for seven or eight milesand only ridable in places. Then came a climb of five miles, and when they reached the summit it was discoyered that Montealegre had broken his {ront sprocket wheel and Mullen had punctured his tire, so they walked the remaining three miles to Pescadero, arriving there at9:30 ». M. The next morning the village blacksmith was | called upon, and he gave up the attempt to repair either wheel after three hours’ bard work. As there is no stage from Pes- night, Visalia is eighty-one miles, making their round trip 162 miles over ordinary roads. The wheelmen from Bakerstield will all attend the celebration to be held at Visalia on the Fourth of Jhly, whenfseveral oy~ cadero to Redwood City on Bundays Mul- i len and Montealegre had to pay a man | $8 50 to carry them and their wheels to the nearest railway station, while Dr. Morris started back awheel. He had to do so much walking over the hilly roads, how- | among whom were the Fuller brothers. | Since Frank Fuller went East C, F. Lemon ated parade in the evening. A good day’s sport is guaranteed. There are several tandem teams in the Olympic Club Wheelmen, prominent has taken the rear seat, and with George Fuller on front they make a speedy class A team. It seems to me they could easily lower the existing record of 2:10 and a fraction, made by the Reliance team, Grif- fiths and Boyden, at 8an Jose on June 1. Clark and Smith of the Garden City Cyclers made 2:00 at Santa Rosa May 9, but that record was never allowed. Captain L. L. Korn has called a run of the San Francisco Road Club to Lake Chabot for to-morrow. Members will as- semble at the clubrooms, 722 Golden Gate avenue, at 8:30 . m. sharp. About the best club run of the season, full of original schemes. was that of the Young Men’s Christian Association clubs last Saturday to Niles. It was the result of plans made by Dr. J. 8. Brooks and A. P, CbiFrot) of this city and Rev. F. H. Maar of Niles, all interested deeply in cy- cling. The local riders went down'in the afternoon in time to enjoy a swim in the canyon. Supper was served in the open air and was followed by a big campfire, around which gathered 105 wheelmen from San Jose, Oakland and the city clubs. After speeches and singing and a general jolly time refreshments in the form of cakes, sandwiches, flapjacks and coffee were served. The Niles brass band fur- nished music, and a display of Japanese lanternsand redlightsadded to the attract- iveness of the occasion. A similar ran is to be taken monthly by the club. Captain J. J. B. Argenti of the Camera Club Cyclists has called a run to Tocaloma to-morrow. The roads in the vicinity of Tocaloma are in good order. Members not desiring to make the entire run can train to San Geronimo, and thence by wheel to Tocaloma, a distance of eight miles. The club will take the 8 A. M. boat for Sausalito. ‘The Royal Cycling Club will have a run around the City to-morrow. The club will turn out in full force for the Associated Clubs’ run to Niles on the 23d. The fol- lowing new members have been elected: ceptionally high and when in that condi- tion the trout remain in the deep pools and feed upon grubs and snails which they find sticking on the rocks. Anglers who take pleasure in sitting on the bank of a stream there to watch and wait for a trout to come along and enjoy a feast of ‘‘salmon roe” or worms may do fairly well, but this system of fishing ‘is abhorred by scientific anglers. 3 So far as lake fishing in the mountains is concerned the most flattering reports have come from Tahoe, where the big rainbows are now bestirnug themselyes and affording the guests of the Lakeside House royal pleasure. Yo reach Tahoe excursionists will take the cars leaving the Oakland mole morning and evening for Truckee, at which latter place a stage will be in waiting to take them to the Jake. Donner Lake is within easy distance of Truckee, and excellent fishing can be en- joyed in a small stream which runs from the lake in the direction of Truckee at this time of the year. The stream in question contains large numbers of Eastern brook trout. Webber Lake will soon be heard from. When the trout commence to take the “f on Webber the sport is unexcelled, and the fish—cut-throat trout—are superior in flavor to any trout on the coast. Quite a number of anglers whipped the streams in the vicinity of Cloverdale last Sunday, but with the exception of one gentleman, Mr. Mansficld, who basketed a nice mess of fish, the others had rather in- different luck. Walter Mansfield, G. Ran- kin, J. Bogart, Joe Shain and Robert Hew- son fished the headwaters of the Big Sul- hur. Mr. Mansfield at the peril of his Ele, descended a steep mountain to a small stream which empties into the Big Sul- phur, and for his pains and bruises he was rewarded by the capture of about two dozen good size fish. Eugene O’Rourk and and Donald McRae whipped the Pieta Creek and caught quite a number of small fish. The Pieta is an ideal trout stream, which when stocked with brown trout— the only native trout of the glens—will give the anglers sport galore. Mr. Mallon and friend fished the Ackerman Creek and re- turned with all small fish, a shade better in size than fingerlings. Charles Precht and George Walker caught some nice trout last Sunday in the Calaveras Creek. The spoonaccomplished tbeegood work, as the trout positively re- fused to notice a fly. “Doc” Simpson and George Walker, two rominent members of the Rod and Gun “lub, took their departure on last Thurs- day evening for Truckee. They intend giving this beautiful stream a trial with spoon and the‘June bug’’ bait, of which lat- ter “killer” the doctor has a large supply. John Butler, “the only S8almon Roe John,” and his fishing companion, Colonel John Gallagher, the champion long-distance spoon-caster of Oakland, will leave for ruckee on Tuesday, and it goes without saying that when the two Jacks make their appearance on the river banks there will be a concentration of trout in the vicinity of the place they will decide upon fishing, as Butler has shipped two cases of salmon roe to the happy fishing-grounds of the Sierras. Otto Braunsdorf, who is probably better known among anglers as Young Sugar- house, is having grand sport on Stoney Creek, where the trout are game and dash madly at the royal coachman, a favorite fly on that stream. Tne Tamalpais Sportsman’s Club has renewed the lease of its preserve for five years to come. Last Sunday some of the club’s members enjoyed first-class fishing on the Throckmorton Lagoon. The old Camp Taylor hotel is now under the management of Joseph Bertrand, who is also looking after the interests of the uests who are rusticating at the Tocaloma otel. The morning and evening fishing on the Paper-mill Creek, near Camp Tay- lor, should now be good, and there is no question that the guests at the Camp Tay- lor resort will receive first-class treatment from the new management. Salmon fishing in the Santa Cruz Bay is 500(1 at present, and sportsmen fond of ep-water fishing should not miss the opportunity that is now afforded for the capture of the king of fresh-water fish. n future, anglers who intend to have a little bass fishing in the lake of the San Jose Water Company must procure an in- vitation from the president of the com- E:ny, and no fish under half a pound must taken. ¥ In yesterday’s paper an article describ- ing the kinds of fish that arrived in the United Btates Fish Commissioners’ car from Washington, D. C., appeared. The large-mouth hgack bass will be a valuable addition to the fishes of this coast. The bay is literally alive with sardines. At the tide-gauge on the Marin County shore the Italians are taking them by the ton. The natural conclusion is that there must be salmon in the wake of these schools of their favorite food. The anglers argue that if the fish are caught in Bolinas Bay to the north and Monterey and Santa Cruz bays to the south it 1s absurd to sup- ose that they allow the sardines to crowd into this harbor and not follow them. Taking these arguments seriously to heart, Professor Moore, who is not only a successful and earnest fisherman, but a close observer of the habits and eccentri- cities of everything that swims, has got up a salmon rig, and to-day will labor along the shores of Richardsons Bay for his own amusement and the general good, because, should he succeed in taking even a single fish, the entire Sausalito fleet will be put in commission. In seining for sardines the fishermen fre- quently land a few shad heavy with spawn. 1t is not probable that they are virtuous enough to return them to the water. Tom cod are becoming more numerous, and the bay dolphin is frequently seen, To hook on to a dolphin means good sport. They cannot resist a spoon when it comes their way. 1t will soon be time for a run of sea bass, and the bass gives quite as much fun as the salmon, and is of course a capital table Leo Lederer, Jo&c}wh Lubin, Alva Posner, A. N. Rixon, H. Brietstein, Jesse Kutz, 8. Davis and Fred Greenebaum. The Royals are arranging for their quarterly five-mile road race, which will take place early in July. As the club is developing some sturdy road riders a fast race as assured. SPaLDING. Mr. 8. W. E. Hawkins, advertising man- ager of the Stearns bicycles, says in the ewspaper Maker that next year, after the present contracts expire, bicycle advertis- ing will be done mainly in the daily papers instead of in the monthlies as now. The daily paper is the paper of the present. The magazine is to it what the almanac is to the morning’s weather report. THE ANGLER. Late News From the Sacramento and Truckee Rlvers. The anglers who have given upin dis- gust the idea of catching trout any larger than fingerlings in the coast rivers are now looking forward to the big streams of the mountains for something at al like sport. The Upper BSacramento River in the vicinity of Sims is rapidly getting into con- dition for fly fishing and already some nice baskets of fish have been taken from the stream that is about eight miles above Sims Station. A letter to the CaLy from W. Anderson, a sportsman who Is rusticat- ing in that vicinity, states that anglers { who intend whipping the Sacramento should leave this City about the last week in June, as then the fishing will be first- class and good success will certainly crown the efforts of Waltonians. ‘W. A. Cooper, who is at Sissons Camp on the McCloud River, writes as follows: Iam having very good sport now surface- fishing. 1 have taken several trout that have averaged three-quarters of a pound. Yester- day 1 caught two fish—one on the stretcher end one on the middle fly—each of which scaled almost one pound. 7The natural trout flies are now out, and the morning and even- ing fishing is splendid. The water is ice-cold and the trout are s firm as stone. We expect to entice some of the Dolly Vardens soon. They will take onli{worms, ete. 1Joe Kelly and J. Reis are enjoying good eport also. . Although a few anglers who could not be induced to wait until next month have taken their departure for the Truckee River, it is only reasonable to presume that they wiil return disappointed with their luck. The Truckee River will not be in condition for fly fishing this year until the latter part of July asthe water is ex- fish. Possibly the reason more are not taken on the troll in the harbor is that the fishermen are not industrious enough to work for them. Mr. N. J. Brittan has returned from a fishing trip to Santa Catalina. He says the yellow tail isas game a fish as he wants to hook. They rush and leap, and if there is any defect in the tackle disaster is inevitable, From all reports the waters about this island must be the grandest place in the world for taking sea fish with | the sight had quite gone. crowd of well-wishers meant good luck to the champion of the West and those who have joined him in the ride over the plains and mountains to the great cities of the East, where they expect to win many honors before the butts. To-morrow morning several well-known marksmen includin, %Vxllinm Ehrenpfort, George Helm, D. B. Faktor, 1. P. Schuster, Louis Bendel, George Alpers, H. M. Wreden and Max_ Schwab will leave this City for Milwaukee and thence to New York. They will be accompanied by 2 larze number of their comrades as far as Berkeley, and then a good hearty 'shnk}nfl of bands and well wishes for California’s expert bullseye punchers will send them o The CALL will be greatly surprised if a majority of the leading prizes to be con- tested for in the great Eastern target com- petitions will remain on the other side of the Rockies, considering that such a grand army of first-class rifle-shooters will rep- resent California on this occasion. The following clubs will shoot at the California Schuetzen Club Park, near San Rafael, to-morrow: California Schuetzen vlub, Eintracht Schuetzen Section and Gruetli _Schuetzen Section. At Shell Mound Park several companies will meet to engage in rifle practice. GUN AND DOG. Grassing Pigeons at Oakland Track. Eleven Black Pointers. The season when doves can be shot will cemmence on July 1 and will ena on February 15. The birds are very plentiful this year in several parts of Alameda County, and especially between Sunol and Pleasanton. The deer season will open on July 15, and though does and fawns cannot law- fully be kiiled at any time of the year, the shooting of mule deer will continue until October 15, giving sportsmen three months of an open season. As the Supervisors of any county in the State are no longer empowered to change the dates of the cpening of the season for the killing of game birds or animals the season for the killing of mountain quail and grouse will open on August 15 and closeon February 15. The San Francisco Gun Club will have a live-bird shoot to-day at the Oakland track and the Recreation Gun Club will shoot at live pigeons to-morrow at the same Elace. At Sacramento a bluerock tournament will commence to-day and will close to- morrow. Among the sportsmen who will represent this City in the race are Fanning, Webb and Robertson. Further particulars are given in the letter from the CaLy’s Sacramento sporting correspondent. Entries for the Derby of the Pacific Coast field trials which will be held at Bakersfield on January 20 wiM close on July 1. The following story regarding a cure for | cataract is credited to Mr. Labouchere by tne British Fancier: Some ten years ago (more or less) a valuable English setter re- ceived an injury to one eye. Asa personal favor the owner’s doctor examined the eye and reported that. as far as he could tell, Nevertheless, the man in charge of the dog regularly once a day chewed up some ordinary ivy leaves and spat them in the dog’s eye. In a comparatively short time the cataract entirely disappeared, the dog’s eye looked as well as ever and his sight was periect. Boon after that a small dog owned by an- other man had cataract (from the scratch of a cat, I believe), when the same treat- ment was followed with a like good result. Jack Sammi, a breeder of thoroughbred Irish water spaniels, is puzzled over a lit- ter of youngsters his liver and white col- ored pointer bitch is at the present time nursing. The puppies are_as black as the blackest of their Pape pointer stock, and Dave Thom, who by the way is a greatad- mirer of the blacks, has been looking over the pages of “Blackstone” for days past in the hope of finding some chapter which may treat on freaks of nature in dogdom. However, the owner of the little nigger dogs cannot understand where the black co orinpk has come from as he has truced the stock back to several generations and finds that there have been no black ointers connected with the breed. James Markland, the owner of a prize-winner at the recent bench show, is of the opinion that there must have been a black sheep in the family somewhere. The California Turf, a paper devoted to kennel and horse news, has changed ownership. It is now managed by D. L. Hackett and J. R. Dickson, and with those gentlemen at the helm it should travel in a smooth course to prosperity. At a recent meeting of the American Kennel Club it was stated that a rule will be made debarring all dogs from compe- tion at shows held under A. K.C. rules ;hat have been cropped after a certain ate, D. C. Braden, the one-armed wing shot who lives at Beaver Falls, Pa., will be matchea to shoot a second time against ‘W. 8. Cannon of Newark, N.J. The con- sideration will be $500. rod and line. The sport in_the coast streams has been indifferent this season. The Pescadero, once & fine stream, has yielded nothing but fingerlings this year. The big trout has been apparently” caught out, for the close season along the Pescadero is more honored in the breach than the observance by those who live in its vicinity. Once a wretched fish of any size shows his fins the pool is besieged. If he won't take the hook the spear or pitchfork is jabbed into him, and the farmers’ boys camp on his trail shonld nov this method of assassination avail, and drag him out from under the banks. The San Gregorio, the Purissima and the La Honda, once well populated streams, have suffered the same fate. The restocking of these waters is simple enough, but the preservation of the gamy fish appears to be a problem too hard for the commission to solve. it Wil THE RIFLE. Departure of Famous Marksmen for Eastern Cltles. Lovers of rifle-shooting will look for- ward with particular interest to the scores that will be made by the crack riflemen of this City who have gone East to partici- vpate in the great shooting festivals at Mil- waukee and New York. On Thursday the famous marksmen, A. Strecker, F. O. Youngand E. Bloedau, left this City on their journey to the places where noted marksmen from all parts of America will be on hand to contest for honors and glory in rifle-shooting. They were accompanied to the Sixteenth-street station, Oakland, by a number of their friends and lovers of rifle-shooting, and as the cars pulled out from the station the champion of the vic- torious California Schuetzen Club team of 1876 pitched an old shoe at the head of Philo Jacoby which he (Strecker) had worn some years ago in Philadelphia when he defeated all of his competitors, The firing of the old shoe into the center of the COURSING.

The Pacific Swimming Club, assisted by the Olympic Club Swimming Annex and the Dolphin Boating and Swimming Club, will give an exhibition at 2 P. M., at the Sutro Baths, Sunday, June 23. The officers of the day will be: President, Charles B. King; master and director genersl, George 8. McComb; business manager, M. Joseph- son. The Pacific Swimming Club has been in existence since 1887. Its object is to pro- mote the art of swimming and diving on this coast and to place it _in the foremost rank of outdoor sports. Its officers are as follows: Charles B. King, president; M. Josephson, vice-president; Julian W, Farnsworth, secretary; G. A. Rosenberg, treasurer; John H. Vollmer, captain. The alub has been in the habit of open- ing the season by giving an exhibition each year at the Terrace Bathe, Alameda. The club has among its members some of the most expert divers and swimmers in the world, and among those worthy of special mention are: Professor Ed Mowry; rofessor H. L.

The betting on the san; SAN JOSE, June 14.—Captain Celine Delmas has called arun to Los Gatos for Monday, June 23. This should be a very enjoyable affair, as the road is in excellent condition and the various cherry trees en route simply loaded with the luscious fruit. Many impromptu runs have been en- joyed during the moonlight evenings, the ladies having once more become interested in club affairs. Their fair correspondent ‘‘denies the nlle%‘m.ion and defies the alle- %nlor.” when in her last letter she declares hat in _their club a clique does not exist. Many will be glad to know that the one unpleasant feature of the club is now of the past. May they prosper, bless ’em, and do all sorts of energetic things before the sum- mer is over. Queer things happen to merry cyclers occasionally, and recently while Roxie (my wheel) and I have been enjoying these balmy evenings many amusing episodes have been brought to our notice. One beautiful evening we passed such a happ}' couple. He was whistling a “Robin Hood” &ir, while she hummed a sweet second to it, and I leaned over the handle-bar as they passed, whispering to Roxie to see what a tine couple they were, but Roxie rattled her spokes and almost succeeded in sending me into the gutter as she shook her head and said: “Yes, he’s lovely now; 80 is she; they’re voung, their hearts are iight and they think they love, but just wait”—and here Roxy waved her handle- bars gracefully—'‘just wait till they leave the smooth road, then we'll see.” We didn’t have to wait long, for suddenly swinging round a turn we met them re- turning. The girl had given away to an uncontrollable desire to laugh—the situa- tion was such a funny one.” At least five miles from home and his sprocket wheel broken; the chain hanging from the frame, suspended by his club colors he had so proudly worn an hour before. He was provoked, but he couldn't cry, so he just walked—but oh, the steps he took. Every one meant a volume. Roxie almost ruined her tire she laughed so hard after they had passed, so I proposed going back to hel them on their way, and what do you zhinE we heard him say, standing there in the moonlight. “Why,” said he, “I didn’t know wheels could be so obliging, for just think how I can chat with you now.”’ 8he looked very happy, so Roxie and I sped by with a little sigh of regret for bappy days when we believed in that sort o’ thing—and after a moment’s silence Roxie soberly said,*I think they will travel the roufih road together and smile even be- tween the tear drops.” Roxie being so wise in those matters, I offered no remurk. Much pleasure and a merry time is anti- cipated bly the members of the Ladies’ Cyeling Club on Saturday, when _they go to Santa Cruz. A jolly crowd will bé on that last train. As'a chaperon will be in demand, I have promisegeto lena dignity bend a little more gracefully when riding. While we realize the harm in a stooping position, yet we cannot advocate the rig- idly upright. As long as these bits of female loveliness cling to the corset, of course it will be impossible for them to bend at the waist line. Ido notliketo see a woman of generous prop sweater without any visible means of sup- port. For those who feel the need of support let me recommend the e waist, which supports the bust and the muscles of the w free.
