Bay City Wheelmen—Yachtride around the bay. California Cycling Club—Run to To- caloma. Camera Club Cyclists — Run to San Leandro. Crescent Road Club—Run to Stockton. Golden Gate Cycling Club—Run to Garcia. Pacific Cycling Club—Run to Center- ville. San Francisco Road Club—Run to Camp Taylor. The racing at San Jose on July 4 at- tracted the greatest attention the past week. J. E. Edwards of the Olympic Club Wheelmen surprised his most ardent ad- mirers by his wonderful bursts of speed. Wells, the Bay City crackerjack, was in splendid form and won both class B events. By the cheers he received one would think he was a resident of San Jose, and his vi tories were surely very pooular. Captain Delmas of the Garden City Club has not Taced for several years, but decided to try his hand at the game again, and showed he had not lost his speed, by winning the one-mile Handicap class A quite handily. The accident in which Byrne and Langue- tin fell was quite unfortunate, but both are Teceiving the best of care and will soon re- cover from their bruises. There will now be alull in cycle track racing for some little time. In fact it seems improbable that there will be any meet of importance in this part of the State prior to September 9, when the Gar- den City Cyclers will hold another meet at San Jos This will be a big affair and will doubtless draw the best racing talent of the State. It is possible, also, that some of the Eastern men may be here about that time, in which event it would be doubly interesting. The Acme Club Wheelmen will hold a ten-mile road race over the Fruitvale- Haywards course on July 28. This will be a big event, as the Acmes are noted road riders, and it would not be at all surpris- ing if they lowered the existing record. Captain John Kitchen Jr., J. W. Wright, C. J. Hannan and J. H. Creeley of the Acme Club Wheelmen will start next week on a wheeling trip to Lake Tahoe, and will be on the road two weeks. The Golden City Cyclers spent July 4 at Sonoma as the guests of the Sonoma Wheelmen. They returned Friday morn- ing. having had a delightful time. %here will be a big wheeling event in the East early next week, the occasion being the annual meet of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen at Asbury Park, from July 8 to 13. As there will be several pop- ular Californians contesting with the East- erners the reports of -the races will be watched with interest. From all accounts E. C. Bald of Buffalo seems to be the star class B rider on the National circuit this year, but he has to fight every inch of the way when he races against such men as Czbanne, Coulter, Ziegler, Dirnberger, Macdonald or Terrill. Captain L. L. Korn has called a run of the San Francisco Road Club for to-mor- row to Camp Taylor. Members are re: uested to assemble at the clubrooms, 7 solden Gate avenue, at 8:30 A. M. sharp. The Camera Club Cyclists go to San Le- andro to-morrow under the guidance of Lieutenant Goodrum, starting on the 9 A. M. boat. They will be the guests of Dr. 2 1. C. Harmons at San Leandro, who has | romised to give them carte blanche with fiis peach and pear orchards. They will have a jolly time surely. Last night the club went on a mconlight run to the beach. Captain Paulsen has called a run of the Pacinc Cycling Club for to-morrow to Cen- ‘terville, leaving on the 8 o’clock boat. This trip is very pleasant and has added charms on account of the excellent accommoda- tions afforded at Centerville to wheelmen. The Crescent Road Club members will take the '5 o'clock boat for Stockton to- night and ride back to-morrow. Thisisa long but very pleasant trip if the roads are not too dusty. George Thompson has been elected vice-president of the Crecents, vice H. Hecht, resigned. Captain A. Bearwald and E. Cohn started yesterday on an ex- tended trip through Lake County on their wheels. The Bay City Wheelmen should have a merry time to-morrow. At a loss for some new wheeling trip to take the men upon, Captain Dodge decided that for once the wheels should be left at home, and the members will embark on the sloop-yacht ‘Annie E for a ride around the bay and out to the heads. There will be several invited guests aboard, plenty to eat and a suffi- ciency of those beverages so dear to the bearts of every yachtsman. The Golden Gate Cycling Club will have a run te Garcia to-morrow, and while there will be the guests of Camp Sazerac. Members will take the 8 o’clock Sausalito boat and train to San Anselmo, riding from that point to Garcia, whicl is five miles above Camp Taylor. The trip isa delightful one, through one of the prettiest parts of the State. Theclub has engn}ged clubrooms in the building of Mission Par- Jor. N. 8. G. W., on BSeventeenth street, and will hold the first meeting there on July 12. i awarded the prize, a $230 diamond, to Mec- Aleer, but Castleman filed a protest, claim- ing a foul. The matter was referred to the Naticnal racing board, and after all these | months word has just been received that the protest has been allowed and McAleer | must turn his prize over to Castleman, who is awarded the race. 1f he was like some of the pure amateurs that one hears of he wouldn’t have it to return—it would have | been hypothecated long ago. It is possible son; camping parties are leav- | Those in touch with the wheeling events ! that another race may now be arranged between the two men, and it would be a very interesting contest. Castleman is Referee Allen | | heads are waiting in the cooland sparkling | waters of the ice-fed rivers and lakes to | give the lovers of the sport of fly-fishing an | idea of what they are capable of accom- | plishing in the pugilistic way, so to speak. | Tt can be truly said that as a fighting | fish, backed by an astonishing amount of vitality and cunning, there is not a trout | in any of the streams of this coast com- | parable to the rainbow of the swift-flowing | Truckee River. Any angler who has stuck {a fly into the mouth of a two-pound Truckee River trout will not hesitate to relate an incident of sport which cannot readily be forgotten. The river in question is an ideal trout stream which catches the eye of anglers who pass in the trains that skirt its banks between Truckee and Ne- vada. The large piles of drift wood that accumnulate in many parts of the stream after the spring freshets are considerable of annoyance to anglers, who must use | quick thought and excellent judgment so as to defeat the aims of fighting fishes that invariably make mad runs for those places of refuge as soon as they feel the sting of the sharpened steel. However, | DICK MOODY OF THE GARDEN OCITY CYCLERS. very popular in the north and has made lots of friends. McAleer we have never seen up here, but he has a great reputation as a long-distance rider. The California Cycling Club has several leasant outings scheduled for this month. To-morrow Captain Burk will lead a club run to_Tocaloma, leaving on the 8 A. M. Sausalito boat. On Sunday, July 14, the club will have a run to Walnut Creek, and the following Sunday to Napa, starting the night before. The Californians are getting in many new members, and the time within which applicants may join under the reduced initiation fee has been ex- tended to July 24. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will prob- ably hold a five-mile road race on either the 14th or 2Ist of this month. Should Foster, Edwards, Jones or Long start there is a likelihood of Alexander's record of 12:03 and a fraction being a thing of the past. Foster may try for the twenty- five mile record over the San Leanaro tri- angle about the middle of August, and should get it if he is properly paced. Frank M. Byrne, the popular Imperial Club class A man, may find himself in class B very soon unless he can satisfac- torily explain a little tire deal in which he was interested. R. M. Welch, representa- tive of the racing board, has written him a letter requiring an explanation, but owing to Byrne's accident at San Jose Thursday will suspend action until he has recovered. It is generally thought, however, that Byrne’s class A standing is safe.. A rumor was current around the training quarters at San Jose that Byrne had applied for membership in the Olympic Club Wheel- men at the express solicitation of several of its members, and if this is so the Im- perial Club will suffer a distinct loss. The party of Camera Club cyclists now touring through Lake County are having a most enjoyable trip. They were at Bart- lett Springs over the Fourth and will be at Vichy to-day. Lake County is a delight- ful touring ground for wheelmen at this time of the year. H. W. Eisert and J. . Burns of the {m- perial Club started for Los Angeles awheel yesterday. If they follow the advice of others who have been over the trip recently they will ride as far as Santa Barbara and then take the steamer, as the balance of the wheeling is bad owing to poor roads. Everett Moody, better known as *Dick,” is one of the best class A riders the Garden City Cyclers have. He has been riding about a year, and is looked upon as a com- ing man. He rode second to Hdwards at the league meet on July 4 from a handicap of fifteen yards, which necessitated him passing a large field. He has never yet de- veloped his %.\est speed. it is thought, and when thoroughly trained will rank with the top notchers. His likeness accom- panies this article. The San Francisco Young Men’s Chris- tian Association Cycling Club will bold two races for members only on the Central Park track July 20. The events will be a half-mile scratch and a one-mile handicap. The riders are now in active training for the contest. SPALDING. el THE ANGLER. Pleasure-Hunters Who Are Having Sport in the Mountains. As the months of July and Ausrust are held in great esteem by anglers—those be- ing the banner or flower months of the angling season—it is no wonder that the most favorable reports are daily arriving from stream and lake concerning the very excellent fishing that is at the present time being enjoyed. Angling parties are leaving this City daily for the shaded and balmy mountain re- sorts where the game fontinales and steel- | if the game and much-sought-after fishes had no avenues of escape there would not be, by any means, the element of sport and excitement in it that makes trout fish- ing a real pleasure. n lake fishing, for instance, a trout that is firmly hooked has no hope for _its life if struck by an experienced angiter. Of course, a tyro will lose many fish and considerable tackle also all because of rough and un- skilled handling of the rod. Trolling for trout or salmon from a boat is considered by many people to be superior sport to fly-fishing. This may be so in one respect, and that is in point of numbers of fish taken, but for real, good pleasure troll- ingis a beastly practice as compared to fly-fishing. By the former method a trout when hooked will make a few rushes, then it will gradually permit itself to be hawled —no better word can be used—toward the boat in which sits the troller. The fish, unless it be a very large one, isalmost dead from suffocation when it is wound up to within landing-net distance of the angler, and as a final effort it makes a few farewell splashes and the fight is over. What a difference in the style of fighting when a game trout is hooked by the fly- caster. Down goes the tip of the rod as the fish makes its first mad rush for free- dom. Then out of the water it leaps. Another rush and a leap, and_so on—leap and rush from the moment it is hooked until it lands finally in the net of the angler, after having been given a good race for life. As exclusively stated in THE CALL on Wednesday last anglers who have been figuring on many pleasant nights’ sieep at Kerr's residence, on the banks of San Andreas Lake, during the angling season have calculated wrongly, as on and after the 15th inst. the keepers of the San Andreas, Pilarcitos and Crystal lakes will not be allowed to either house or feed anglers. he new rules further state that the keepers must not convey fishermen by team to or from any railroad station. This news was not by any means welcomed by the angling fraternity, who must, in future, concoct some scheme whereby they can catch the early morning’s fishing on the lakes. John Butler and family arrived from Lake Independence last Thursday. Mr. Butler is highly delighted with his outin and speaks most favorably of the gran sport he enjoyed He s of the opinion that the trout of Lake Independence can not be equaled in flavor, and as to their game qualities they can be compared only to the famous steeiheads of the Eel River during the months of September and Octo- ber, when the run irom the ocean occurs. Al Cumming, the noted shark catcher, in the company of Mr. Newcomb of New York; H. M. Landsberger, Ed Hinckley and Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Hinckley left this City a few days ago for Lake Indepen- dence. They will certainly enjoy good fishinF, as recent reports from there are to the effect that the trout are taking the fly in good style. Among the anglers who have enjoyed grand fishing in the mountains recently are Edward B. Wilson, Frank H. Moon, Edfin_r Teeter, Charles Lewis, John Brandt, J. Hill, J. P. Gilinas, John Ballard, R. M. Gorrill, C. D. Cameron, J. A. B. Finch, J. E. Moffatt, C. M. Wing, William Darrell, J. Shane, Miss Etta Butler, Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, Mrs. J. Cavitt, Mrs. M. A. Teeter, Miss M‘gfi" Teeter, Miss Clara Wartell and Miss Hazel Cavitt. Anglers who cannotafford a trip into the Sierras can now enjoy first-class fishing in Squaw, Sulpbur, Pieta and Warm Spring creeks, which are near the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway. Over 800 trout were taken from Pieta Creek last week and as the trout are now of good size the sport is all the more interesting. The trout of the San Andreas Lake act | had seen everything, rather peculiar at times, as for instance on the opening day of the lake every angler who had wet lines was awarded with a 5rnnd catch of trout and all of good size. n Thursday, the 4th inst., the wind was blowing from the south and as a result few fish were taken notwithstanding that sev- eral of the most expert anglers of this City worked hard for a mess. It has been the experience of many anglers that trout-fishing is not good on a day that follows a bright moonlight night. In_an article on this subject an angler writes as follows: *Last year it so hap- pened that I wa€ compelled to reverse the usual orderand take my fishing trip during the dark of the moon or not at all, and my success was so abundant in the number of fishes caught that Iam almost persuaded to think that the moon had something to do with it. True, I was fishing in waters new to me, and had it not been for a re- mark made by my guide I would probably have attributed my good luck to there be- ing more fishes in those waters than in the waters heretofore fished. “I had for a guide an old and experi- enced fisherman, who had more good horse sense (crude though it was) about fish and fishing than any man I ever met. He seemed to know to a nicety the very whims of the gnme we were after, and where, when and in what manner it was necessary to cater to their fastidious appe- tites, and before my trip was over I learned to rely on his judgment almost implicitly. He assured me that he had noted the fact during all the years he had been acting as guide that fishes were most voracious in the daytime during the dark of the moon. His theory was that fishes of the genus Esox gorged themselves with small fry on bright moonlight nights, and as a conse- quence were logy and not inclined to bite very freely during the day following."” ———— FISH AND FISHERMEN. Dan O’Connell’s Weekly Budget of News Caught on the Fly. A tidy little stream which empties into the Alameda, near the second railroad bridge in Niles Canyon, will always yield a good fish in the middle of the season to the careful angler. Stony Brook, for this is its name, used to be preserved some years ago, but the owner of the property abandoned the effort in despair. The can- yon .is filled with campers all summer, and a dozen keepers, with eyes all over them, would not be suflicient to keep these amateur gyvsies off the stream. All the trout brooks of Alameda County have de- teriorated. The Alameda itself, near the headwaters of the Wild Cat Canyon, used to afford capital fishing. But the pools are now only tenanted by a few fingerlings, and only the memory of the plump hali- pounders remains. The Calaveras, a right beautiful stream, at its junction with the Alameda stil holds a few—a very few—good fish. This is an ideal river, not unlike the Yuba in the vicinity of Cisco in character and volume. 1t has sharp falls, long reaches of broken water and deep pools. But this year the angler who takes half a dozen fish in a three-mile tramp is fortunate. It has been stocked, but the great trouble is that no matter how the trout prosper thef' are never permitted to attain a respectable size. At four and five inches they are lively, hungry and incautious. Then they are pouched by the hundreds by those vandals of the brook, those conscienceless Herods who will spare nothing that has fins. Will Kittle and Joseph Quay spent a portion of the Fourth on Trout Lake, on the County Club’s preserves. They caught some of those fine speckled fish with which the lake is stocked, and also some ‘“cutthroats.” This fish is a grand fighter. No trout that swims gives as bard a battle as the cutthroat—which, by the way is not a nice name for them, and has its sole rea- son in the red marksin the fishes’ throat. Their growth is phenomenal. The cnt- throats caught Thursday weighed a pound and were only a year old. A full pound in a single year from the egg conclusively es- tablishes the desirability of cultivating this game fish. The sport that can be had with rod and line in bay fishing is not appreciated by the majority of anglers. Indeed, those who have made a study of the sporty ways of this pastime are largely in the minority. To many it will be a mnew thing to learn that the blue rockcod will take the spoon trolling. This is a daily occurrence in Monterey Bay, where salmon trollers fre- quently take half a_dozen rockcod in suc- cession on the sardine or spoon. In this harbor in clear water the same results can be obtained, and with light tackle there is alotof fun in thissort of fishing. Smelt and perch will take a fly, so the flg fisher- man need not confine himself to the lakes and streams. The new and excellent provision which interdicts trolling with the spoon on Lake Lagunitas has cut down the big catches made in this water in the early season. The man now who fills his creel will have the satisfaction of knowing that he hus worked for the fish. An angler at San Andreas on the Fourth, while his rod lay on the bank, a steel one, heard the whir of his reel and saw his tocker disappear. Shortly afterward he booked a fish on another rod and landed a nineteen-inch trout and also the lost rod, to his delight and surprise, which the other line had fouled. Mr. Nel Vogel is the name of this fortunate fisherman. DaN O’CoNNELL. AN A AMATEUR ATHLETICS. Who WIIl Be the Next President of the Olympic Club—Sprinting. The Olympic Club athletes who have not won much distinction on the cinder path will have an opportunity to-morrow of spreading their nether limbs, as a pro- gramme of games has been arranged for their special pleasure. Itis thought that a number of the boys who fancy outdoor sports will be at the grounds this afternoon to compate for the prizes that have been offered. A few days ago Tue CALL stated that the unpleasantness that exists at the present time between the patrons of boxing and those who look upon the manly art as beastly and degrading will not assist to swell the membership of the club. = It can be, therefore, easily seen that when club members fall out upon any proposition, harmony and prosperity take wings for other parts, and without both no club can hope to sail to a safe harbor. The directors of the Olympic are evidently in a quandary as to what is most needed to revolutionize things and bring the mem- bers back to their old ways of thinking. That opinions on various club matters differ there can be no gainsaying. The fact that in the last year the club’s mem- bership tumbled from 2600 to 1700 is evi- dence conclusive that something must be very wrong in Denmark, and that the loose screws of the club require immediate attention. A decidedly live and energetic president and board of directors are a necessity. Something more than the usual weekly convention of officers for the purpose of hearing and to be heard is needed. The members, seemingly, require more for the amount of money they ex- pend in dues, etc., to hold them in the club. Times have been a little severe from a financial point of view on many of the old and, in fact, new members, who, to save a few dollars, resigned from the club. There is no doubt but that the depres- sion in business affairs, which existed dur- ing the winter months, has had con- siderable to do with the falling off of the membership, yet when it is considered that the Olympic Club provides equal if not possibly better facilities for enjoyment and health-giving than many of "the far- famed institutions of New York at a much smaller outlay, one would be inclined to think that such a' thing as a decrease in membership would be out of the question. Considering the small tax that is imposed on the members of the Olympic Club, there should be very little grumbling heard con- cerning dull times. The monthly dues of the Olympic are not half the sum the members of the New York Athletic Club are taxed. Still, there are objections heard. About a year aFo a representative of the last-named club visited the Olymilc, and, after he o inqulmd what 2 \ art of the | the initiation fee and dues were. He was the most surprised of men when his ques- tion was answered. “Why, you ?eople live in luxury for al- most nothing,” was his answer. ‘I cannot understand iaw you can possibly keep this club on such a magnificent footing and tax your members so lightly.”” The speaker was a clerk in one of the wholesale dry-goods houses of New York, and received a salary of $75 a month; still he was a prominent member of the New York Athletic Club, and was seemingly grgnd to have the pleasure and honor of eing in a position to say so. What the Olympic Club actually re- quires is a board of directors who will take the trouble of ascertaining the pulse of the members and providing means whereby obstacles can be removed when they make their appearance. John D. Spreckels is spoken of very favorably as a man who would make a most excellent presiding officer. Mr. Spreckels is a great admirer of clean sport, and as president of the great Olym- pic Athletic Club, he would certainly prove to be the right man in the right place. i S BOXING. Heavy-Weights Who Will Fight Be- fore the Colma Club. The Colma Athletic Club has matched the heavy-weights Billy Smith and Sailor Starkey to fight twenty rounds at the next entertainment. Smith is well known n this City, where he has won many battles when boxing as the leading sport. His last defeat by Childs, a colored pugilist of Los Angeles, almost broke Smith down in spirit and .in purse. He thought Childs was an easy game and played his money freely on himself to win—something that Smith was not in the habit of doing. Smith is now working at his trade, but will take a vacation in a few days and go into training. Good judges think that Smith has seen his best fighting days and that he will prove an easy mark for Starkey, who has proven himself a first-class fighter by having defeated some of the principal boxers in the class he represents. At _any rate the sailors of the warship Philadelphia will go broke in clothes and money if Starkey should fail to whip Smith in a cante SO THE RIFLE. A Team Shoot Between Companlies of This Clty and San Jose. The great success achieved by California marksmen in the East has aroused consid- erable interest in rifle shooting here among the military and lovers of target shooting. Already there is talk of matches between some of the crack shots of the several com- panies, and it can be truly said that it is only through a spirited and friendly rivalry that precision in rifle shooting may be attained. In rifle shooting as well as in any other pastime there must be some in- centive attached to stir up interest in the game, and no better inducement can be offered to increase and make popular the sport than prize competitions between men. Company F of the First Regiment of Infantry of this City will leave Third and Townsend street at 6:30 p. M. this evening for San Jose, where it will meet in a team shoot Company B of the Fifth Infantr Regiment of San Jose. The contest will be held on Sunday, and, according to the agreement entered into between the re- spective companies, twenty men from each company will contest. Members of Com- pany F of the First Infantry are cordially invited to accompany the marksmen of this City on their trip to the Garden City. This is what Sporting and Fishing says of the “jacketed bullets’”: The extraor- dinary penetrative power of metal jacketed bullets has made it apparent that the ordi- nary rifle range is not likely to be a safe place to practice with the new army rifle. ‘We understand that it has been decided by those in charge of the great Bundesfest, to be held at Glendale Schuetzen Park, Glen- dale, Long Island, in July next, not to permit the use of any jacketed bullets there. Several other rifle ranges are re- garded as unsafe when these projectiles are used. g E THE KENNEL. Valuable Information to Owners of Dogs—The Fleld Trials. TrE CALL was the only paper to publish the Derby entries for the Pacific Coast field trial meeting which will be held at Bakers- field in January next. Among the en- trants are some very highly bred young- sters that should do good work if properly trained. Every sportsman loves a good dog and is always pleased to learn anything that may prolong the life of an affectionate animal or kill pain. It is a well-known fact that eye diseases are by no means un- common among dogs, and especially is this true when the canine is suffering from distemper. A lotion of coal tar, weak in strength, and which may be obtained from any chemist, isa very excellent remedy. A common wash frequently used with good success is a lotion of sulphate of zinc dissolved in rose water. A very bad prac- tice some people indulge in is throwing a young dog into the water for the purpose of teaching it to swim or retrieve an object. Frequently animals of high breeding and timid nature die from such treatment from attacks of asthma or inflammation. Tape worm in dogs will yield to nothing so well as oil of mule-fern This is a nasty thing to give a beast but its objectionable taste may be avoided in a measure by having each dose done up in gelatine capsules. Mule-fern is a sure shot on tape worm, but as it has a tendency to cause sickness ina dog it would be well not to bave recourse to it unless other remedies, such as areca and the like, shouid fail. When puppies are being reared, it is most essential that both they and their dam should be housed on wood. Nothing will tend more to rickets in the youngstersor to milk troublesin the dam than sleepini on a brick floor. The_ better bed for dogs is made by spreading an old sack on the floor or some heavy brown paper lightly saturated with carbolic acid or coal tar fluid, as either will act as an_insectifuge and a healthy disin- fectant. Boards should be laid over this and then a bed of straw. Of course an oc- casional change in ti:» bedding is a neces- sity, or the festive flea and other trouble- some insects will, in time, assert them- seives. A Kansas City sportsman writes the American Field a story about a good- natured fat dog that is by no means un- interesting. He says: “There is a_dog here, a big, fat sort of water spaniel, that has taken care of a brood of motherless chickens. Bob is the dog’s name, ar.d he is nearly always ac- companied by the chickens. When he lies down they climb upon his back, which is so broad as to resemble the big, flat pad cn the back of a circus horse. They crawl upon his head and peck at his ears. He does not shake them off, and they hang on when he wallks slowly around the ard in his lazy way. hen he lies own they nestle in near his paws, and he will remain motionless there for half an hour at a time. The motherless brood are getting to be big fellows now, but they have not deserted him, although a brood of younger chickens have come up to climb his back and peck at his tongue and the end of his nose. It is astonishing to see the care and gentleness of the old fel- low when the chickens are near him.” COURSING. The Successful Dogs of Thursday That Will Run To-Morrow. There was a very enthusiastic crowd of sportsmen at Kerrigan’s coursing park last Thursday, and as the day was fine and the hares ih good running form the sport was consequently good.

SACRAMENTO, Car., July 5.—The opening day of the dove season was a very disappointing one to Sacramento sports- men. The day was cool and the birds hung in the heavy liveoak scrub border- ing the streams and rivers and did not put in an appearance in the passes of former years until a late hour in the afternoon, and then flew at scattering intervals that made the shooting very uncertain. A dove going with the wind, especially after having had a stray load of shot thrown in its near vicinity, is traveling with a velocity hard to gauge. There were no very large bags made by cracks shots on the opening day, as far as heard from, indeed, many of them killed but six to eight birds, while shooting on pass. The celebrated Studuras dove pass, situated twelve miles from the City, on the Folsom road, was a flat failure for birds on Monday last, as they seem to have deserted it. but possibly later in the season it may be again frequented. Sportsmen 1n the vicinity of Penryn, in the foothills of the Sierras, claim that the provisions of the present game law debar them from the pleasures of dove shooting, as the birds desert that locality for the valleys before the season opens, and they further claim that there should be super- visorial rights enabling Boards of Supervis- ors to establish the opening of game sea- sons to conform with localities, so that all sportsmen could enjoy equal advantages. During the past week Meps Fitzgerald and Fish Commissioner Morrison left the City at 4 p. M., and in two hours’ shootin, bagged thirty-five birds. Both are crack shots and birds_have little license to es- cape their guns. W. E. Gerber and Charles Burnham made a_record of forty birds. Whittenbrock and Damm bagged four dozen on Monday last. Captain Bohn of the Spoonbill Club killed fifty-four birds, and probably heads the list for the open- ing day. These birds were killed near Penryn. Stewart Upson bagged thirty-five birds on his first day’s hunt. The new line of electric-power trans- mission wires from Folsom to Sacra- mento is proving a veritable trap for Hoves: nabers Berwikillon Byl iy e against the wires. Game Warden Helmo states that he saw a pair, flving with great velocity, strike the wire almost simultane- ously, and one of the birds had its breast laid open and the other had its head cut off. ) A party of ten sportsmen will leave the City on their bicycles next Sunday fora day’s shooting among the doves. They will carry lunch and a full outfit, and hope for good sport. Camping parties are leaving the City for the hi{’ls, every day, and large numbers are making preparations. John Breuner and family leave for Strawberry, and a arty composed of Fred Burnham, George White, Lon Eckhart and John McCue will leave Folsom for Wrights Lake on the Georgetown Divide, where they will camp for six weeks or two months. Russell Flint and party have returned from their jaunt into the McCloud River district. Mr. Flint reports the trout fish- ing as excellent in that locality althou:h a ! the fish are not of extra size, two an half and three pounds being the largest caught. One raid upon the salmon re- sulted in the catch of ninety pounds of fish within an hour; he states that the largest fish caught this season weighed fifty-five pounds. A party composed of Charles Flohr, Wittenbrock, Damm, Chapman, Nold, Bryant and Rose made a trip down the river last Sunday and caught over 400 Blue Channel catfish. The Capital City Wheelmen's Club will make the run to Stockton to-morrow and the scorchers of the club will havea chance to try their staying qualities. One hun- dred and sixteen members of the club turned out in the parade on the Fourth with handsomely decorated wheels. They were accompanied by several lady riders, led by Miss Jessie Shaw, Sacramento's 7- year-old girl rider. It is expected that nearly 2 wheelmen will be in line on Admission day in September next, in honor of the N. 8. G. W. celebration. The Sacramento Tennis Club has had its courts placed in excellent condition for the approaching tournament. Stewart Upson is rapidly coming in form and will give yisitors and members a close call for trophies. RuTHERFORD. — SAN JOSE SPORTING. Twenty-Five Thousand Young Trout for the Country Streams. SAN JOSE, Car., July 5.—Those who are interested in hunting and shooting wear a happier look, now that the close season for doves has expired. During the past week a great many hunting parties have gone out and returned with well-filled bags. Yesterday the country was well scoured in search of doves and every likely place beat over and over again. Doves seem to be as plentiful this year as ever. Lovers of angling are jubilant over the fact that the streams of Santa Clara County are to be stocked with trout. The Board of Supervisors, at its meeting Monday, in- structed Game Warden Mackenzie to pro- cure 200,000 trout for distribution amon, the streams of the county. With the rigi enforcement of the fish faws now existing, in two or three years’ time fishing should be first class on all the streams. Game Warden Mackenzie in terly refloxtu filed with the Board of Super- visors last week says he has had erected tifteen fish ladders and served notices on his _quar- i he eventeen parties to place screens over t! :nouth of lt’heir irrigating ditches to keep he trout from entering. ¢ The following have been appointed dep- uty game wardens, and will keep a sharp lookout for violators of fish and game laws in their vicinity: Mat Arnerich, Frohm; S. H. Clark, Mountain View; Charles Derby, Almaden; Robert Kincaid, ;\!oun!} Hamilton; Robert Menzel, Santa Clara; George Taylor, Mountain View; Joseph McClelian, West Side; Dan Bulmore, Al- maden; D.

Prindiville, San Jose; Thomas Fitzgerald, Edenvale. e The Fish Commissioners have allotted 50,000 trout to this county—25,000 Lake Tahoe trout and the rest rainbow trout. The fish will be placed in the streams the latter part of this month. The first number of Cyeling, a weekly paper devoted to cycling and athletic sports, made its appearance yesterday. Joseph B. Carey, one of the best authori- ties on cycling matters on the coast, is ‘ng editor. The paper is handsomely printed and its illustrations are of a high order. It contains photos of Mr. and Mrs. George Owen on a tandem, Wilbur Edwards, Allan Delmas ana Henry Smith. T hetimen of Los Gatos held an il- in_which luminated parade last night, about fifty wheelmen participated. wheels were all prettily decorated.

(From the Red Wing (Minn.) Republicand “T am now twenty-four years old,” said Edwin Swanson of White Rock, Goodhue County, Minn., to a Republican representative, ‘‘and a3 you can seel am not very large of stature, When I was eleven years old I became afllicted with a sickness which baffled the skill and knowledge of the physicians. as not taken suddenly ill, buton t Ican hardly state the exact time when it began. The first symptoms were pains in my backand rest- less nights. The disease did not trouble me much at first, but it seemed to have settled in my body tostay, and my bitter exdp&‘r(ence during the last thirteen years proved that to be the case. Iwas of course achild and never dreamed of the suffering in store for me. I complained to my parents, and they concluded that in time I would outgrow my trouble, but when they heard me groaning during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. Medical advice was sought but tono avail. Igrew rapidly worse and was soon unavle to moveabout and finally became confined continunally to my bed. The best doctors that could be had weré consulted, but did nothing for me. I tried various kinds of extensively advertised patent medicines with but the same result. “For twelve long years I was thus a sufferer in constant agony without respite. Abscesses formed on my body in rapid succession and the world indeed looked very dark to me. About this time, when all hope was gone, and nothing seemed left but to resign myself to my most bitter fate, my attention was called to Dr. W iams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, in sheer desperation I concluded to make one more attempt—not to regain my health (I dare not to hope so much), but if possible to ease my pain. “I bought a box of the pills and they seemed to do me good. I felt encouraged and con- tinued their use. After taking six boxes I was up and able to walk around the house. I have not felt so well for thirteen yeats as during the past vear. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Piils, and I am able now to do chores and attend to light duties. “Do I hesitate to let you publish what I have ? No. Why should I? It is the truth, and I am only too glad to let other sufferers know my experience. It may help those whose cup of misery is as full to-day as mine was in the past.” Dr. Williaias’ Pink Pills contain, in a con- densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppres- s10ms, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow checks. In men they effect & radieal cure in all cases arisin, from mental worry, overwork or excesses o] whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes never in loose bulk) at 50 cents & box, or six oxes for $2 50, and may be had of all drug. gists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N Y.
