Davis had and would has ation ce its pub- seems general that they have not treated the San Jose ympic Clut topic of ¢ club right. It is true thiat they now reside rere, but they were under no expense to the Cyclers, being on theabsent list. They, course, were entitled to join any club h but colors of the club that has stood by them re they chose for its social advantages, why should they desert the racing straddled a wheel, which has helped th ctory and given them their present reputations as class Bracers? Itisa well-known fact that Allan Jones, now ranked as one of the best men on the coast, would have been nowhere but for ever since th the C; e club encouraged him, assisted in his training, helped to get him on the m, and made him what heis, and in return he calmly turgs the ing, “I don’t care what they t. he Cyclers are nothing to me.” 1t would seem as though these class B men had no gratitude, for Jones’ and Davis’ desertion was not without a precedent. | Walter F. Foster coolly withdrew from the Bay City Wheelmen, at a time when he was in his prime and they were helping him as b et been assisted since. Otto Zi the San Jose Road Club beiore he Wwent East, at least he joined another club and deserted the colors of the Road Club. Perhaps there is something behind these withdrawals, bowever, in that each one of these men immediately joined the Olym pic Club Wheelmen.. Itis rumored that the genial secretary of the Olympics has asub- of whispering into the willing ears of the racing contingent highly colored tales of the many advantages the annex offers its members. It must be admittea the Olym&xic Club has many advantages not offered by purely bicycle clubs, but the zealous secretary’s ambition to enroll the name of every racing man of prominence on the coast on his books, and some now in the far East, bas embittered the other clubs, for they don’t know when he may come rapping at their door and inveigle their champion away. What would the Im- perials do without Byrne, the Bay Cities without Wells, Terrill or Vincent, the Cal- ifornias without Harvey or Alexander, or the Road Club without McFarland? The various clubs. do not like the way the Olympics are enticing away their. racing men, and this last instance, where Jones and Davis are concerned, has opened a but arily bealen'wound, and the Ganien Ci 'yelers have two warm synlg:\thizers n the San Jose Road Club and the Bay City Wheelmen. When Ziegler left the Road Club to cast his fortunes with the Olympics he lost much of his prestige among Californians. When he appeared upon the cyclers’ track in the races on April 19 and 20, he was hissed as never was a racing man_before. It is not improbable that Jones and Davis will meet the same reception should they race in the Garden City on July 4, for which events they are now training. The public are at a loss to understand why the Olympic Clib Wheelmen ‘cannot develop racing talent of its own, from a membelshigo 250, without borrowing it from the other cycling organizations, The annual joint club run of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs to Niles Can- yon to-morrow will bring ferth nearly all ihe road riders belonging to clubs that are members of the association, and many un- attached riders as well. The Associated Clubs has been in_existence several years and previous affairs of this nature ‘have been so well attended and enjoyable that the wheelmen all look forward to to-mor- row’s jaunt with pleasant anticipation. The lullo\\'ing clubs are members of the association and can be looked to to turn out a large proportion of their member- San Leandro and Haywardsito Niles. The San Jose riders will go direct to Niles. | Tumch will be prepared for 500 wheelmen, which, it is safe to say, will be disposed of | if even only half that number attend, Capt: n Burk’s instructions to clubs are t in alphabetical applies to all clubs, whether bers of the”association or not.

With but three exceptions the prizes are unset diamonds, every first and second prize being one of those much-sought-for gems. Without question the meet will be | one of the best ever held in this State, and | the league should receive a well-merited | boom in consequence. | H. C.

The San Jose Road Club is about to lose its popular captain, C. C. Peppin, who Jeaves shortly for Oregon. As Lieutenant Navlet did not wish the position, owing to oulders of Second Lieutenant M. J.

The order in which the first five finished r riding time and handicaps are as B Net riding time. .13:05 2-5 16 47 There were a dozen other starters whose finishing time was not taken. Elford, the winner, is & new rider, and did very well. The course was not in the best of shape, and at one time the two scratch men, Brown and Gooch, narrowly escaped col- liding with a wagon, which compelled them to slow up, and they lost consider- able time. The officials were: A.T. Brock, W. B. FAWCETIT, OLYMPIC CLUB WHEELMEN., Thursday for Los Angeles to enter the | races there on the 25th. They will return in time for the races at San Jose on July 4. { The Los Angeles Wheelmen will find them two gentlemanly fellows and very fast class B ride: W. A. Searles Jr. and R. J. Elliot of the Bay City Wheelmen made a hard cycling trip last Sunday, which as a test of en- durance is remarkable. They left here at 4 A. ., destined for Pescadero to meet a friend, Mr, Wakeman, who has been tour- ing in that vicinity awheel. Pescadero is sixty-three miles away, the last twenty- five miles being over the roughest kind of a hilly country, where walking was gen- erally preferable to riding. They finally got there, however, and after lunch and a short rest started homewards, not arriving here until after 10 o’clock at night. The last ten miles of the trip around the bay road were made in very slow time, as it was dark as pirch and they were com- pletely tired out. Monday neither felt a fianicle the worse for his long journey, owever. The Outing Road Club’s trip for to-mor- row will be a pienic run to Haywards Park, leaving on the 8:15 A. M. narrow- gange boat. Members are requested to bring their own luncheon. Bert Mayer of this club has just returned from his Lake County trip, and pronounces the roadsin very. fiood condition and the trip a very en- joyable ome. Captain Davis is rusticating at Bolinas Bay until July 1. Upon the invitation of Mrs. A. G. Mc- Farland the Camera Clup Cyclists will take a run_to-morrow to Camp Alta Vista, and Captain Argenti has issued the follow- ing circular describing the trip: Owing to the length and character of the rTun ay early start is desirable. Members wiil assemble at Twenty-first and Valencia streets at 6:30 A. ., thence along San Bruno road to San Mateo, twenty miles; thence via Pescadero road to Cape Horn, seven miles, passing Crys- tal Springs dam; thence to desiination, where Vice-President Mrs. McFariand will exercise her prerogative as hostess. Return by train or wheel from San Mateo, ar- riving in town about 6:30 P.M. The roads, though rolling in character, are in good condi- tion and a pleasant trip is assured. The run being upon inyitation will be confined exclu- sively to members of the annex. Bring cam- The Diamond Cycling Club is the name of a new wheeling organization formed in Alameda last Tuesday evening, with a charter roll of thirty-five members. As soon as the work of organization is com- pleted and officers elected the club will be heard from regarding runs, races, etc. The Royal Cycling Club is progressing finely in"its new quarters on Van Ness avenue. At the last meeting six new members were elected. Alva Posner has been elected bugler. On June 30 the club will have a run to Camp Taylor. To- morrow they will go to Niles Canyon on the Associated Clubs’ run. * The Liberty Cycling Club has adopted a novel idea in the shape of a_sinking fund to cover breakageson runs. Each member who desires to avail himself of this in- ship: Acme Club Wheeimen, Reliance Club Wheelmen and Young Men’s Chris- tian Association Cycling Club of Oakland; Garden City Cyclers and San Jose Roa Club of San Jose; Crescent Athletic Club of Berkelez; Santa Rosa Wheelmen of Banta Rosa; Bay City Wheelmen, Califor- nia Cycling- Club, Crescent Road Club, Librty Cycling Club, Imperial Cyecling Club, Olympic Club Wheelmen, Pathtinder Bicycle Club, Royal Cycling Club and Young Men’s Christian” Association Cy- cling Club of San Francisco. 5 _Captain John F. Burk of the California Cycling Club has the arrangements for to- morrow’s run in hand. His orders are for the local clubs to take the 9 a. . creek- foute boat, which lands at the foot of Broadway, Oukland, where the Oakland emmnsem will join the run. All will then proceed through Ozkland, past Fruitvale, surance deposits 10 cents a week with the treasurer, and for such premium is in- demnified against all or any damage to his wheel upon a ciub run. I wonder if this will enqourage recklessness upon the part of the riders? The clubelected H. Wal nig and H. J. Vollmer to membership at the last meeting. The Sunset Cycling Club was organized last Monday evening in. this City with a membership of thirty-five to start with. The following are the officers: Arthur Sherley, president; Miss Besshy, vice- president; P. W. d’Arcy, secretary; C. Shaw, treasurer; P. Morrin, captain. The club will meet every Monday evening at 305 Van Ness avenue, near Grove street. The Imperial Cyling Club will turn out en masse on the association run to-morrow. FrankM. Byrne, the club’s popularclass A racer, will return from his trio to Portland referee; H. F. Kellogg, starter; H. L. Gil- bert, I. L. Gilbert, Fred Starratt, C. Pomeroy and F. Jackson. The racin i board has issued its twelfth bulletin, under date June 20, 1895, as fol- lows: SANCTIONS GRANTED. June 15, Santa Paula Wheelmen, Santa Panla, July 4, Redlands Cycling Club, Redlands. July 4, Stockton Athletic Association, Stock- ton. July 4, Ventura Wheelmen, Ventura. July 4, Brooklyn Parlor No. 161, N.S. G. W., East Oakland. In the protest of A. W. Cleaver trom the de- cisicn of Referee C. F. Gates at San Bernardino May 22 last, the National Racing Board sus- tains the referee, saying: “The rules provide that the decision.of a referee shall be final in all cases when such decision does not conflict with the racing rules. There was no conflict in the deeision rendered, and the referee was in a better position to decide the question of & foul than the racing board could now be.” For violaiion of clause C, class A, amateur rule, A. W. Cleaver of Los Angeles is declared a professional. R. M. WELCH, Representative National Kacing Board. The members of the California Cycling Club will make a trip to La Honda Sun- day, June 30. The run will start from the clubrooms next Saturday evening at 6:30, and the men will ride to Woodside, some five miles beyord Redwood City, where they will stop over night, completing the trip to La Honda ancF returning to Red- wood City Sunday. The wheelmen of Visalia offer a hand- some banner to the club having the largest number of men in line in their parade on July 4. The banner is of purple and gold, the wheelmen’s club colors. On the rich purple silk plush is worked the following in gold: “Visalia, July 4,1885.”” A large wheel traced in gold is the central orna- mentation. This banner will be competed for by all the wheeling clubs within a reasonable radius of Visalis. The Crescent Road Club will attend the association run to-morrow. A new uni- form was adopted by the members ata meeting held last ‘ednesday evening, which will be readv early in July. The club propose holding another five-mile road race shortly, and will offer valuable trophies for the eveni. The club was recently presented by Byron D. Bent with a photograph of the club members and several views of the run to Camp Taylor two weeks ago, all neatly framed together, which has been hung in the clubrooms. it is rumored that the Faicon team will be disbanded on July 15. The team is now on the Eastern circuit, and is composed of Otto Ziegler Jr., C. R. Coulter and C. C. Harbottle. The latter has already left the circuit and returned to Canada. No reason 1s given for the breaking up of the team. It is a surprise to notice Coulter’s vastly improved form, as he is now winning many races on the circuit. On June 20, at Utica, N. Y., Ziegler was given twenty yards handicap over him iu a two-mile race, ana yet Coulter won it and Ziegler finished third. W. A. Terrill has also beaten Ziegler in scratch races. What's the matter with the “little demon?” The Petaluma Wheelmen will hold a race meet on July 4, confined entirely to class A events as follows: Half-mile invi- tation, scratch; one-mile invitation, scratch; one-mile club handicap; hali- mile scratch, boys under 16 years; quarter- mile scratch, boys under 14 years; hali- mile scratch, county; quarter-mile scratch, copn'tly; two-mile scratch, county; one- mile Two Rock Road Club event. The prizes are well selected and of good value. En- tries close June 27 with George B. Murphy, secretary, 1014 Fourth street, Petaluma. W. B. Fawcett’s' likeness is presented this week. He is a well-known member of the Olympic Club Wheelmen and has al- ready made his mark on the track in class A races. He will ride at San Jose on July 4 and will be up with the bunch in all the finishes. 2 Charles 8. Wells and Harry Terrill, the Bay City Wheelmen’s two fastest racers in classes B and A respectively, will go to Los Angeles to compete in the races there on June 25, the occasion being the Turners’ festival. President Charles A. Adams, CaptainJ. J. B. Argenti, Byron D. Bent and Henry Owens of the Camera Club Cyclists will start awheel for Lake County early in July, to be absent a fortnight. They will visit all the springs and resorts, and as all four will carry cameras some good views may be expected when they return. SPALDING. Mr. S. W. E. Hawkins, advertising man- quer of the Stearns bicycles, says in the Newspaver 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. Ciali bAudain COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL. Captain Sherman on Berkeley’s Chances for Next Season. Although it is nearly two months before football playing will begin on this coast, the captains of the various teams are al- ready actively engaged in overhauling their material and taking an inventory for next year. From the present indica- wns it looks as though the great college me will be the sport to attract the un- divided attention of the college athletes. The track athletic team that will return in a few days will be too tired to go into training at the opening of college, and so that branch of athletics will remain quiet for the first term at least, thus giving foot- ball the entire attention of the collegians. The mildness of last year’s great Thanks- giving day®&ame has undoubtedly gained the pastime numerous new enthusiasts. Captain Ed Sherman of the Univers of California eleven has been carefully look- ing over his men as far as can be relied upon at this early date. He is confident that as good a team can be gotten together next season as ever defended the “‘blue and gold.” He has this to say for the general prospects and_for the players in their re- spective positions: The prospects for next seasonI consider to be &s good as they have been in almostany season heretofore, that is, consiuering the available and likeiy-to-be-available material that will be required. A brief summary of the men for each position is: Halibacks—Ransome ’97 needs no explana- tion. His safe kicking makes him invaluable. His knee, which caused him so much incon- venience last year, may possibly bother him slightly. 2 7 Hupp, '97, though light, is a rattling good piayer ‘and 'has the making of u star in him. He'is speedy and contains the necessary grit. Dozier, '98, it_is said, will be unable to play on account of his parents objecting. Hilborn}'96, may make a good player if he will train hard enough. L Kinzie, 97, is a good player in all respects, but as vet he is somewhat uncertain. For fullback I have Rhubottom, a hard gritty layer. Lastseason he pluyed teckle and will ¢ somewhat new at s position. He bucks well. Dorn, ’98, is & green man all around, but he is fast and a tower of strength, He made the Iargest strength test among _the freshmen last year, being second only to Yale's strong man. He kicks well for a beginner and may make a very good man. Magee, another ’98 man, is also new at the game. Like Dorn, hekicks welland is fast and strong. schmidt, Law College, '97, substitute for last season’s team, is the only available man at present for the center position. He may make a good man. His build may seem to be against him, but not necessarily. He is fast, strong and'willing. At present his weight is 225, but le will play at about 200. For guards we are well fixed. Sherman, '96, is'a good fast player. He is a great deal above the nverage in weight. Plunkett, '96, makes & good guard. He does most of his playing by mere strength. He weighs heavy &nd always keeps in the pink of condition. Iam not cer- tain of having him with us, for he is talking some of going to Harvard. Winkler, '98, is the tall man of the team. He is very strong, having the greatest lung power of any man in the university, If he learns to handle himself better he may make something. Tackles—Wittenmeyer, '98, is a hard player in all respects. He knows the game periecily, and handles his great weight with agility. Ferguson, '98, has excellent chances to be a takle next season on the first elevesn. He takes such great interest in theé game and is so de- termined that he will probabiv do excellent work. Avery,’98, is & good player, but he will have to train harde: complish much. Bunker, , is an entirely new man, but he is quite strong and very heavy. 1have hopes of him, Thére are four or five men for ends. Wilson, ’96, is among them. Hopper, '98, although light, is one of the grittiest eflpluy of the lot, and is improving rapidly. He goes in for do or die. Morgan, and Julian, '98, are well-built fellows. y both did excellent work on the freshmen team last year. I will play my old position of end. 3 The most important Yofiiuon in the team, that of guarterback, will be well filled. Ken- nedy, 9%, plays the position well. He is very cool-headed and speedy Baker, 98, did wonderful work last year. When he makes up bis mind totackle a man he is sure to do it. He will make a hard struggle to get on the team. In the class of '99 I can as yet give no opinion. I expect to geta couplé of men for center work from it. I saw Hall of the Oak- land High School eleven lnkln§ the entrance examinations. He will bea likely man for teckle. Reno Hutchinson of the same school :.fix‘d La. very good player is coming in also, I nk. We have plenty of material for as good a team as the University of California ever pro- duced. put it ail depends on Low the material develops. Some men develop into good Flu)‘crs in one season; for others it takes much onger. The grest fault with the men is that they do not study the game. ‘When asked as to the result of the next game with the wearers of the caruinal, the doughty little captain shrugged his shoulders, but from the expression it was easy to see that he did not fear the other fellows. The training next year will be radi- caily different from anything ever at- tempted at Berkeley. The coach and the captain will not have so much to do in the matter as will Walter Magee, the in- structor in physical culture. The term at the Stata University begins much earlier than at Stanford or at the colleges in the Tast, thus giving the football team much more time for training. The first two weeks beginning with August 15 will be devoted by Captain Sher- man to getting his men together and giv- ing them light work in handling the ball. Then Mr. Magee will have charge for the next few weeks. He will do most of his work in the gymnasium, giving the players such exercise as will strengthen their weak points. _The actual football playing will not be- gin until the coach arrives at_the usual time. By that time the men will be in per- fect physical condition, and be able to stand the hard work they will be subjected to. Great care will be taken not to over- train the men, as has been the case more or less):ifrevmus seasons. H. H. Lang, immediste?’ upon his re- election to the position of manager, en- gaged a coach, whose name he refuses to make public. He will appear on the ground abeut at the accustomed time—six or eight weeks before the Thanksgiving day game. —_—— CHAMPIONSHIF TENNIS. Players Who Will Engage in the San Rafael Tournament. The admirers of the fashionable game of tennis are practicing daily for the cham- pionship tennis tournament, which will be held at San Rafael, commencing on July 2 and ending July 4, The championship trophy, which was presented by the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association and valued at $200, is a very handsome prize; the runner-up prize is a splendid gold watch and chain, which has also beén presented by the association. Clabrough & Golcher have given two beautiful rackets as a prize for the consolation race. Sam Hardy, who is the present *toast champion, will | defend the cup this year. Among the most promising competitors who are now practicing assiduously for the contests are: Sumner Hardfi' . B. de I:ong, George Whitney, R. N. Whitney, D, E. Allison Jr., W. B. Collier Jr., H. 'W. Crowell, J. A, Code, A.E. Kaser, H. F. Allen, A. J. Holmes, Walter Magee and others who will be favorably heard from on the days of the contests. The Lakeside Club of East Oakland, which has joined the association, may send some of its rep- relsentatives to compete for prizes and glory. : T. A. Driscoll of Oakland, who is tourirg in England, played with E. Renshaw at the Queen’s court (London) recently, and his friends are anxious to hear of thg re- sult of the game. It is announced that the Neighborhood Tennis Club of West Newton, Mass., had at last succeeded in its plan for bringing together English and American plavers in an international contest. Pim, the English champion, who is recognized as the fore- most_player in the world, and Mahoney, the Irish® crack, have accented the club’s invitation to compete at West Newton.« America will be represented by Larned, Hobart, Hovey, Chase and possibly Cham- pion Wrenn, who, howeyer, may be pre- vented by his duties as Harvard baseman. The ‘‘round robin’’ ] will govern the contest, matches being played by each contestant with each of Lis opponents. A he tourney will be the first real inter- national tennis contest eyer played in this country. The visitors will arrive early enough to get some practice on the courts before June 25, the opening day. They will leave for England immediately after the contest, as Pim must defend his Eng- lish championship at Wimbledon on July 8. SR s THE SWIMMERS. A Programme That Will Be Enjoyed + To-Morrow at Sutro’s Baths. The Pacific Swimming Club; assisted by the Olympic and Dolphin clubs, will give a first-¢lass entertainment on Sunday after- noon at the Sutro baths. Many of the leading swimmers and fancy divers of the State will be on hand and their perform- ances should prove quite interesting. The programme as arranged by the committee s second | principle | by the way, was an Englishman—the said eihibitur instened to make a friendly call on that important functionary, and his visit was promptly followed up by the pres- entof a very choice smoked ham to the gentleman who was to decide the fate of the collie at the show in question. When the show had come round, the collie, on whose bebalf the visit bad been paid and the ham had been sent to the judge, was awarded a highly commended ticket. The exhibitor was naturally very much cha- rined at this, and on meeting flle_]l\dfz‘k? fie said, “Did you get the ham a’ richt? O, yés,” replied the judge, “I got it all right, and it’s very good.” '¢I wis just thinkin’,” said the exhibitor, “that T micht hae got a bit farrer ur‘)_ wi’ my collie, par- ticularly when you liked the ham sae weel.” ~“Ah, but,” replied the judge, “‘you must have miscalculated there, forthe man who got the first prize sentmre awhole pig.” THE ANGLER. Opening of the San Andreas Lake. Sport in the Mountains. Local anglers are making preparations for the opening of the San Andrecs Lake on July 1. The recent spell of warm weather will materially add to the success of those who will whip a fly in preference to trolling a spoon. A gentleman who returned from the lake yester- day states that miliions of small flies have made their appearance on the water since the warm wave and that trout are eagerly feeding upon the flutter- ing insects and waxing strong and fat in anticipation of the sterling battles in which they will engage on anglers’ day. The large fish are, however, more likely to be tempted with a spoon than with a fly, though anglers who have employed both devices for their capture contend that there is more real pleasure in the landing of a one-pound trout on a fly than a four-pound trout on a spoon, as by the former method delicacy and cunning must be used, while by the spoon route the question of success depends altogether on the way in which the fish is hooked, as rough usage in the playing ana landing of a trout 1 the rule and not the exception. Very nice trout have been taken during the last few weeks from some of the coast streams, but in numbers they have de- creased wonderfully. As it will be lawful to take black bass after July 1 it is presumed that the de- mand for permits to fish in the bass lakes will be great. It is rumored that the Spring_Valley Water Company will be more liberal with invitations this year than in former years, as the bass in Crystal Lake are so numerous that they frequently telescope when passing. The rush of sportsmen and anglers to the mountains has set in. The man who loves shooting best must not indulge in his favorite sport to excess, as game of all kinds, excepting snipe, is still under the H, L.

Excitement Caused by the Bursting of Shotguns—Trap-Shooting. The Country Club will hold its monthly live-bird pigeon contests this afternoon at the Oakland track, and the captain of the club hopes that the members will take sufficient interest in the sport to attend in larger numbers than at former shoots. To-day, under the auspices of the Port- land (Or.) Gun Club, a grand Pacitic Coast handicap will be held at Portland. The Empire Club will engage in an arti- ficial clay-bird shoot to-morrow at Ala- meda Point, and at the Oakland track a team-shoot will be held, which promisesto be very interesting. Local sportsmen, and es shooters, have been aroused by the recent bursting of guns. J. 8. Fanning had a Smith gun burst while engaged in trap- shooting recently. He states that he was using forty-two grains of gold dust smoke- less powder when the barrel of the gun blew off within a foot or' so of the breech. Fanning said that he was surprised such a tning should have occurred, as he had fre- quently used larger loads and experienced 10 bad results. A. H. Allison of Elmira, Solano County, had an accident of a similar kind, and yes- terday a market hunter was testing a gun he had recently purchased, when it burst near the breach, lacerating his left hand. Some eogle contend that the barrels of some of the closely choked guns used in trap-shooting are too thin in parts to in- cidily trap- . Clark, Charles B. King, | sure safety, while others contend that the smokeless powder or nitro used by those men whose guns have exploded is not alto- gether safe. The matter is causing no end of talk nmonfg sportsmen. Apropos of a recent discussion of judges not *‘going straight,’”’ a good story is now going the rounds among dog fanciers, says an Irish paper. A well-known -Scotch ex- hibitor was the proud possessorof a collie, with which he was particularly anxious to win the first prize ata certain show. On finding out the name of the judge—who, wing of the law, and if he be detected in the act of knocking over deer, quail, duck, grouse, etc., punishment is certain to fol- low—that is, provided the officers of the county where the slaughter is committed will do their duty. The anglers, though, can enjoy them- selves to their hearts’ content, as this is the time of the year when trout-fishing should be at its best in most of the rivers and lakes of the mountains. Letters from anglers who are camping near the Pieta and Sulphur creeks in Sonoma County state that trout are very plentiful near the headwaters of those streams. The popular “Doc” Watt has returned from a short vacation to Boulder Creek and speaks very well of the fishing in Kings Creek, a small stream iprhe hills distant about ten miles from Boulder. According to late reports from the Truckee River anglers should not visit that stream until August, as the water is ex- tremely high and cold, and the trout are feeding on bottom larve. Very flanterinfi reports have been re- ceived from Tahoe and Donner, and itis said that the famous cut-throat trout of Weber Lake have begun to show their noses on the surface. Jack Sammi will leave this City for Truckee this evening. He intended to re- main a few weeks in the St. Helena Moun- tains, but that place did not suit him and he has decided to change camp. He will bring two large oil cans full of salmon ros to his {riend, John Butler, who had forgot- ten his favorite bait in the hurry incident to hisdeparture from this City last Tuesday. A telegram from Boca states that since But- ler's arrival the trout in theTruckee have begun to show signs of puating. Evidently because of the large quantities of roe they have seen floating down the river within the past few days. John Gallagher of Oakland will leave for Truckee in a few days. John will give Lake Tahoe a trial and his big spoons will catch on. George Walker writes a friend that the Truckee is a great place for “lumber and sloth heads,” and that the bottom of the river is full of them. He lost fifteen spoons in one day in the attempt to land some of them. {e says they came from the Truckee mill hatchery. G Dr. Windele, who is a most enthusiastic fisherman, will leave on Monday with a party of friends for the Truckee and the neighboring lakes. }fenr Siinx\er, Rev. Charles Miel and Dan 0'Connell had a good forenoon sport on Lake Lagunitas on Tuesday. It is an undeniable fact that Mr. Miel can take more fish on that beautiful lake than any angler in the State. Henry Skinner well deserves bis Yitlo of champion fly-caster. He throws long, lightly and accurately and is quick in striking his fish. The trio succeeded in basketing considerably more than the average daily yield of the lake to good fly fishermen, but in the afternoon, which was extremely warm, nothing would tempt the fish from the cool depths of the take, The land-locked salmon at the lakes or the Country Club continue to afford good sport. They, too, are a fanciful fish and will only rise to the fly that suits their dainty fancy. At this season the green drake seems to be their choice. They will only rise at certain hours and then they mean business. Almost every rise scores a fish. Their teeth are as sharp as those of the hake, and when in playing them if they are allowed a little slack they will cut through a snell of double gut like aknife. A tight line, as they are usually strongly hooked, and no fancy work are the best methods to bring them into camp. The name of the land-locked salmon as a gime fish will undoubtedly lead to the stocking of all the'confined waters in the State with these fish. They afford not alone good sport to the aniler, but they are a very superior table fish. rofessor Moore, who has a deeply seated conviction that every fish that swims will take either the spoon or the fly, worked Richardsons Bay care- fully this week to vindicate his theory. The professor demonstrated that smelt, perch and even rockcod could be taken on the spoon. His next experiment will be with an artificial red berry to catch shad off the tide gauge. Ernest, the stew- ard of the Pacific Yacht Club, made some weeks ago an examination of shad which were broufiht ashore in a fisherman’s dragnet. He found that they were filled with berries and other vegetable matter, When this fish comes into season it ma: not be an unusual sight to behold a regi- Xlaenf« Ofl_hsh;irmenh adlon;: the Sausaiito shore casting for a shad wi i Baltad with ]é_! ] ith their hooks An old steelhead, which had evaded all the anglers’ Jures since the opening of the season, was taken last Saturday by Albert Watson in a deep.pqul below the old dam, Mr. Kramer experimented with frolling for a bay dolphin this week, and hooked a big fellow which ran hislineli out and then wished him good-by. A spoon of about the size of those used on Lake Tahoe is the roper thing for trawling for those fish Sen ;F:;E'nl:redalcq:'simeg with the spot, ¢ dolphins are ¥ ay real good fun. - Te in the bay it is — BAY ANGLING. Where to Go for Rock Fishand Other Denizens of the Deep. Rnckcod-fishing was very good last Sun- day on the north shore. It is eaid that there was more fish brought over on that day on the ferry-boats than at any time this season, Large quantities of tomcods and kingfish were ght on the sand- banks opposite the Sausalito shores and a great many smelt at Target Rock, near the fishyard. Sunday Fred Walters and "companion caught (*pmmds of red rockeod on the Californ® City shore, some of the fish weighing over one pound each. Tuesday Frank Burke, the well-known angler, and two companions caught about eighty pounds of red and blue rockcod at Point Cavallo, the largest a blue rockeod, weighing two pounds ang three-quarte Anglers fishing in boats near Point Cy vallo can safely anchor inside the tiderip in a southerly direction, where the d varies from seven to fourteen fathoms, stay there during the ebbtide, but on the flood the fishing is best on the reef extend- ing southeasterly from the point about 100 to 150 yards, in about eightean fathoms ¢ water, Tt h do not run quite as la as at Lime Point, but there is more shelter and not so much danger of losing anchor and fishing-tackle.

S THE BOXERS. nd and eighteen Anthony Will Journey to England if He Whips Mahoney, The admirers and patrons of fistic s will have a chance of seeing Jimmy thony, the champion bantam pugi Austraiia, and Danny Mahoney. the ¢ pion bantam of the Pacific Coast, i A\ RN ’,\* ~sS\waw 7 James Anthony, the Australian Cham- pion Bantam-Weight, contest to 2 finish at the Colma Athletic Club on next Friday evenin Although the contest is limited to twenty rounds, it may be safely predicted that the game will not run that string of rounds, as Anthony, who has won thirty-five battles in his native country, captured mostly all his scalps in ten rounds or less. Men who hayve seen him perform in f: way Aus- tralia do not hesitate to y that in Mahoney he will meet a surprise. The little slim-built Californian is as quie cat. and will puzzle the foreigner in more ways than one. Mahoney is unquestionably one of the cleverest little fighters who has ever stepped between ropes, and it would not at all surprise many of the old members of the once-popular California Athletic Club to hear of his suceessful capture of an Aus- ltm{imz scalp on the evening of the 28th nst. Anthony is not as clever nor as cunning ad the Californian, and should he fail to bring his opponent to the sawdust inside of ten or twelve rounds, Mahoney’s chances of success in the latter part of the race will certainly be first class. Henry Peppers and Martin_Mulverhill are booked for ten rounds and jt goes with- out saying that this meeting should bea warm-belt starter to the event of the even- ing. Mulverhill has promised Joe King, the pugilist whom Peppers defeated last month, that he will wipe out the hot stuff of his opponent in short order, but Peppers takes a different view of the matter. The gants of the ring, Professors Sam Print and Wilson, are also on the programme for a short and spirited engagement, which will more than satisfy those who faney the hurricane style of fighting, as the contest will certainly prove to be a game of ham- mer and tongs from start to finish. Should Anthony prove successful he will imme- diately leave for Engiand, where he will be matched to fight Billy Plimmer, the English champion of the bantam class. THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, Gustave Haustaen, a Pedestrian, Makes a Quick Trip on Foot From San Jose. Gustave Haustaen, “The Flying Dutch- man” came into the: CALL editorial rooms yesterday at 12:30 with a message from the sporting editor of the San Jose Mercury to the sporting editor of the CaLy, which he had received in San Jose at 3:30 in the morning. He came up on foot, making the distance, fifty-three miles with an additional six miles he had to make through missing his road, in nine hours. Haustaen claims to be the fastest long distance man in the country, and is looking fora match. He said that he had run thirty-five of the fifty- nine miles, but when he arrived he showed little signs of fatigue. Some time since, he said, he had made the trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a distance of 600 miles, in nine days on foot. Haustaen is of the opinion that long distance pedestrians are very scarce, as he finds it difficult to geta match for money or marbles.
