The wheelmen of this City will be well represented at San Jose Sunday, as the Garden City boys have prepared an excel- lent programme of sport. Lovers of rifle-shooting are getting ready for the great annual Schuetzen Club fes val which will be held in San Rafael Park in a few weeks. The coursing meeting at Ocean View next month will attract dog men from many parts of the State. Angling parties are leaving the City daily for the mountain The Country Club wili hold its annual pigeon shoot and polo races at Del Monte during the latter week of this month. The addition of a rowing annex to the Olympic Club will boom amateur aquatics. Devotees of tennis are arranging’ for a series of matches to be held in thesub- urbs of Oakland. SiieL g S THE WHEELMEN.

They have been shown every at- tention since their arrival, and will no doubt enjoy themselves here up to August 13, when they embark for Japan. George A. Nissen’s wonderful perform- ance of 25:45 in the ten-mile road race of the Acme Club Wheelmen last Sunday, stamps that young rider as a “speed mer- chant” of great ability. whether any one will be able to lower this record for a long time. To-morrow he will make an endeavor to establish a record between the Courthouse, Oakland, and San Jose, so low that no one will want to even try to beat it. The distance is exactly forty-four miles, and Nissen will make the | start at 2 p. ». and will be paced by four tandems from the Diamond Cycling Club of Alameda, under whose colors it is stated | Nissen seems to be | he will ride hereafter. as much of a wanderer from one club to another as some of our other reputed crackerjacks, having belonged to the Ala- medas, Bay Citys, Acmes and now the Diamonds. But joining the latter club is excusable as he lives in Alameda and it is more convenient to him. The regular bimonthly meeting of the board of governors of the California Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs will be held this evening at the rooms of the Bay Ci ‘Wheelmen, 441 Golden Gate avenue, and all delegates are requested to be present. An amendment to the by-laws will be offered, which must pass the meeting unanimously to become a rule, that no contestant can ride in the relay race for any clpb unless he has been a resident of the locality in which the club is situated for at least six months prior to the race. Although one negative would kill this resolution, it will probably be passed, as it is favored by all the clubs. The proposition to hold a theater party for the benefit of the association, also a steamer ride around the bay and the annual ten-mile race in Octo- ber, will be thoroughly discussed. The question whether the Royal or Crescent club is entitled to membership under the ori%:nal application cf the Crescent Road Club, will be finally reported on by the inter-club relations committee. Thereis a rumor, which sadly needs verification, that the association will hold its next meeting after to-night in San Jose. The Pacific Cycling Club will ride to Los Gatos by moonlight to-night, returning via Congress Springs to-morrow. The roads covered on this trip are in splendid condition. The Camera Club cyclists held a meeting last Thursday evening. Captain Argenti reported on the recent club runs and Pres- ident Adams interested the members with several readings on cycling from papers written by himself. The club will meet again on the 15th inst. The picture accompanying this article shows three of the fastest and best known class A riders in California, representing three of the largest cycling clubs—Percy R. Mott, Acme Club Wheelmen; Dan T. Whitman (of Los Angeles), Olympic Club Wheelmen, and Floyd A. McFarland, San Jose Road Club. The picture gives ihe impression of an ncmnrruce—Mot!'s side lance at Whitman’s wheel, the latter’s etermined look, and McFarland with that celebrated hump on his back. Harlow H. White, chairman of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, with four com- panions will leave next week for an ex- tended vacation in the northern part of Humboldt County on a hunting and fish- ing trip. yehing clubs continue to be organized everywhere. The latest is the Polytechnic High School Cycling Club, with the follow- ing officers: President, W. Britt; vice- resident and second lieutenant, S.

When he first started in Henry tipped the beam at 300 pounds. Now he only weighs 278 pounds and has a com- plexion like a healthy schoolboy. The youths of the neighborhood have tried and tried again to beat him in trial spins around the square, but in a spurt he can win hands down. Over a distance he is not so good, as his weight tells. When Mr. Martin made the pleasing dis- covery that he could controla ‘bike” he at once procured a complete outfit. His bloomers and sweater are of the latest pat- tern and his cap is of Scotch plaid. When in full uniform he presents a striking ap- earance and his friends compliment him. Bvery Sunday Mr. Martin goes to Oakland and takes a ten-mile spin. As soon as Deputy Collector Jerome has recovered from the effects of his last accident, Mr. Jerome intends to challenge him to a con- test on the Oakland racetrack. In spite of the acknowledged ability of the Custom- house man as a bicycle-rider there are many who are willing to bet that Martin will win out in the end. GUN AND RIFLE. A Horse Whose Instinct for Hunting Is Marvelous—Snap Shots. Although some weeks have passed since the inaugural day of the deer-shooting scason, very few flattering reports of suc- cess have arrived from the several camping parties that left this City for the happy hunting grounds. Sportsmen who have | returned state that although male deer are scarce in parts of the couniry where in past years they were plentiful, does and fawns have increased in numbers, proving conclusively that considerable poaching must have been going on during the closed seasons and that the bucks were singled out for the slaughter. The fact that the deer as well as the small game will soon disappear unless the Supervisors appoint county wardens is very conclusive, and the sportsmen of every county of this State should at least interest themselves in the protection of game birds and animals during the breed- | ing season. Campers kill off many quail that are raising broods, and for every mother that helps to furnish a meal for a camper at least one dozen little cbicks suffer the death that occurs from neglect and starvation. The camper, however, does not care a fig for the result of his van- dalism as long as his appetite for quail on toast is appeased, but if there was a county warden lurking in the vicinities selected by the rusticators many a representative of the latter tribe would be made to pay handsomely for Iuxuries unlawfully pro- cured and the county treasury would profit by the transaction. f The men who leave this City for a sum- mer outing are no worse than country town clerks and the sooner they will be made to understand and to fear the law P.

Harrington, F. Smith, F. A. McFarland, R. D. McFar- land, V. A. Benson, G. Hardenbrook, J. | Carroll, A. L. Benson, C. Dahlstrom, Ray | Hogg, H. Galloway, Charles Maddox and Gus Navlet. They will have landicaps | ranging from nothing to 3 minutes, with McFarland on the scratch. The record for the course is 13:43 2-5. held by McFarland, and he will try to lower it considerably. After the race the club will entertain the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland, who will ride down to-night on the Oakland Club will meet them at Warm Springs. The Oakland Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club will hold a five-mile road race on next Thursday evening at 6:30 o'clock, from San Leandro to Haywards. B. H. Elford and E. C. Brown are looked to to make the best time. Captain J. A. Delmas has cailed a run of to-morrow, where they will be tendered a clam bake bf' the proprietor of the Warm | Springs Hotel. The San Francisco Bicycle Track Asso- ciation will meet next Friday evening at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association. There is still some talk of the association holding a race meet at Central Park, to increase its treasury if ossible. The meet could be held on a gaturday afternoon and would probably be successful. The Four Aces Cycling Club will have a run to San Leandro to-morrow, leaving their clubrooms, Eighth and Mission streets, at 10:30 A. M. sharp. The Golden City Wheelmen will have a run to Tocaloma to-morrow, leaving on the 8 A. m. Bausalito ferry, thence by train to San Anselmo, where the ride will begin. Ten new members have been added to the roll and several more applications are to be voted on. The Reliance Club Wheelmen of Oak- land will hold a club run to_the beach and Presidio to-morrow. The club will hold a five-mile handicap road race from San Leandro to Haywards on Sunday, August ]"Si“d Captain Bates expects a large entry ist. The Pastimes have added a bicycle an- nex to their club and have elected the fol- lowing officers: K. M. Borman, captain; F. X. Larkey, first lieutenant; J. T. Mc- Carthy, second lieutenant. The first ran will be held Sunday, August 11,to San Leandro. The Olympic Club Wheelmen have a five-mile handicap road race scheduled for Sunday, August 18. Ten valuable prizes will be offered, and as Foster, Jones and Davis will ride the pace will be very fast. Foster will endeavor to ride within the world’s five-mile record of 11:19. He will undoubtedly lower Alexander’s coast five- mile record of 12:03 2-5, but whether he can lower the former mark is a question. However, with d pacing and a fast course he should be able to do the trick. The following communication from Miss Ida M. Stanford, secretary-treasurer of the Ladies’ Annex to the Liberty Cycling Club, is self-explanatory: The Ladies’ Annex to the Liberty Cycling Club was formed last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. N.A. Robinson, 1141 Market street where twelyve voung ladies congregated for the purpose of joining a bloomer club. The charter members are: Mrs. N. A. Robin- son, Miss Ida M. Stanford, Miss L. M.

Henry Martin, capitalist and worthy grand treasurer of the Native Sons of the Golden West, is mow an enthusiastic | bicycle-rider. He started in with the idea that the exercise would reduce his weight. He was not disappointed, as he has lost twenty-two pounds avoirdaupois in about three weeks. The success of the experi- ment has given him & liking for the exer- | cise and the “bike’’ is now one of Mr, Mar- tin’s most cherished possessions, | The officials | country giving particulars of arrests that | have been made for the killing of deer and | His favorite exercise ground is Washing- BAK VIEW HENRY MARTIN county ordinances that do not conflict with the State game law are still in force. Itis very evident that the game protectors of some counties have been taking a lesson from Tre CALL’s teachings, as letters have reached this office from sportsmen in the quail out of season. Six arrests were made in Lake Country last month and five ar- rests have been reported in Mendocino. In the last-named county the deer- shooting season will open August 25 anc close October 15, In Lake County the sea- son opened on the 1st inst. and will close October 1. Seyeral deer were killed in Santa Cruz County in July, but the season did not open until last Thursday. There having been no game warden appointed for Santa Cruz County, fawns, does and bucks were slaughtered with impunity. The sportsmen of Amador and San Joa- quin counties should remember that the season for deer-shooting in their respective fiounties is from September 1 to Octo- er 1. The live and 1manimate bird shooting eyents on slates for to-morrow are: Cali- fornia Wing-Shooting Club, live birds, at ON HIS “BIREM 'URDAY, AUGUST 3, 1895. the Oakland Park; Electric Gun Club, clay birds, Oakland Park: Sportsman’s Association of Alameda County, clay birds, at Oakland Park. George Jackson, a prominent represen- tative of the Pacific Kennel Club and Olympic Gun Club, while dove-shooting last Sunday near Cordelia, espied some large bird sailing lazily in the air toward him. He supposed it was a large chicken hawk, but as the object drew nearer he saw that it was a real simon pure Ameri- can eagle on a mission for young mutton. Two charges of No.8 shot brought the noble specimen of the feathered tribe to earth, and, according to the sportsman, the expression of rage depicted in the bird’s eyes was something to be admired and feared. H. Wagner, J. Berriere and two friends have left this City for a month’s shooting and fishing in the vicinity of Ferndale, Humboldt County. T. M. Barney of the Tamalpais Sports- men’s Club succeeded in bringing down a splendid spiked buck last Monday. Mr. arney was a very proud man on his re- turn from the chase, not because of having captured a splendid deer but because of the excellent shot ke had made at the animal while it was going at top speed in comparatively open ground. The deer dressed at 120 pounds. McAvoy, a_teamster for Miller & Lux, succeeded in bagging another large buck last Sunday on Shattuck’s ranch. . Mc- Avoy states that the horse he rides when deer-hunting will manifest signs of alarm when passing near the lair of a deer and invariably snorts and tramps the ground when he scents big eame. Any person doubting this statement can win a wager of $50 from the owner of the horse if proofs cannot be shown on trial. E. O’Rourke, E. C. Lachs, Joe Rodgers and Doctor Hitcheock left last Monday for a three weeks’ shooting trip to Branscomb, which place is about fifty miles north of Ukiah. They expect to find bear, deer zmd. lions in abundance. The trouble in Wyoming between the Indians and the white settlers was caused by the wanton destruction of game, which had been killed out of season by the In- dians. The settlers were punished when caught in the act of killing game during the closed seasons and they naturally rebelled against the visits of the red men, who can never be made to understand that game must be protecied during what is termed the breeding season. ‘Wyoming is a natural preserve for big game. The Indians know every inch of the country, and it has been found no easy task to keép them in their reservations every summer and fall. An Inaian will vursue for miles a female elk just to secure the unborn young, which he considers a great delicacy. and to gratify his fiendish desire thousands of female elk have been killed just ata season of the year when they require the closest protection. The Indian agents are undoubtedly to blame for the uprising and the present condition of affairs, because if they had refused to reservations, ostensinly to visit neighbor- ing tribes, but in reality to go hunting, there would be no necessity for the send- ingof troops in pursuit of the Bannocks. If some scheme can be devised compelling the Indian agents to conform to the laws respecting Indians hunting off their re- spective reservations future difficulties be- tween the reds and the whites will be pleasantly avoided. B ANGLER. THE Pleasure-Hunters Who Are Off for the Mountains—Short Casts. Now is the time of the year anglers should shake the dust of the City from their boots and repair to the highland to be had. The larva which were so plen- tiful in the rivers whose banks were washed by the swift and heavy waters dur- ing the months of June and July have dis- appeared, and the result is the trout which have waxed strong and fat on snails and other crustacean food must now look up to the fluttering insects which arop from the overhanging trees into the jaws of death, 0 to speak. - fishing to a day’s bait fishing can safelv rely upon good sport in any of the streams end of the angling scason. To have good sport it must be understood that skill in the art of fly-custing is in- dispensable. Practical experience is also necessary, because at this season the water of a river or stream is as clear as amber, and a trout is quick to see danger ahead. Success in angling greatly depends on the man at the butt of the rod. Moral: Do not let the fish see you. Cast well ahéad and strike quickly and lightly and you wiil be rewarded with success. Smali flies are best, but they must be tied on substantial gut. If the day is dark try flies of light color, and the reverse on bright days. W. A. Tilley returned a few days ago from Truckee. He reports that the river is yet too high for first-class trout fishing, but some good sport can be relied on for the morning and evening's whip. He speaks very highly of the sport that awaits anglers on Sagehen Creek, which is only a short distance from Boca. Robert Hewson is preparing an excur- sion which will be run from this City to Boca at reduced rates. The excursion is s}»ecially intended for anglers, and Mr, Hewson is of the opinion that it will be a great success, Al Cumming is preparing for a two months’ outing on the Trucfiec and Inde- pendence Lake. He will divide his leisure time between shooting mountain quail and grouse and landing rainbow and cutthroat trout. Captain George Cumming is now enjoying the grand fishing that always awaits anglers on the Williamson River. The captain’s companion, a Mr. Moore of New York, sends word that he never enjoyed such grand sport, and thattwentiy- five trout he caught in one afternoon’s fish- iu§ scaled sixty-five pounds. illy Cooney caught a nice basket of fish last Sunday in Stony Creek. John Lemmer returned from the head- waters of the Sacramento River a few days ago with some very nice trout. One salmon which Mr. Lemmer hooked overcame him completely. He thinks the fish must have weighed at least fortv pounds. Henry Skinner, the champion long dis- tance tly-caster of the coast, Mr. Chase of Santa Cruz and John Gallagher of Oak- land will leave this evening for Boca, to be gone one week. How those old rainbows will suffer a skinning out. Merton C. Allen of the Chronicle, George Jackson, H. Golcher and Mr. White will take their devarture on the 6th inst. for the famous Van Duzen River in Humboldt County. The party of expert anglers and big-game hunters will spend three weeks in the happy hunting grounds of Northern California. . Baes-fishing in San Andreas Lake has improved, but trout-fishing still remains poor. Anglers and sportsmen will, no doubt, be sorry tc learn that John Sammi, treas- urer of the San Francisco Rod and Gun Club, has been confined to his room with a sevelr; attack of rheumatism, the result of a cold. b CRICKET CHIRPS. Recent Matches in England—Big Scores in Ireland—At Home. Somany and varied are the reports regard- ing the present size of the Grace testimonial fund that it is impossible to do more then guess at it. The last gave the “single shilling account” credit for 63,000 shillings. The ma- jority of foreign clubs has yet fo be heard rom, so the grand total is likely to_be emi: nently satisfactory. In regard to “W. G.'s recent exploits with the bat it is reported that in the seven matchesin which he has played for Gloucestershire this season he has played twelve innings—once not out—and scored 1054 runs, with an average of 95.9. It must be near the record score that Essex made in its match with Somerset last month, 692, to which the highest contributions were 153 by Carpenter and 147 by C. McGahey. Their opponents made 375 in two innings. But the most important English event to chronicle is the Harrow and Eton match,which, nnex_ three long days, resulted in a draw in Eton's favor. The latter called both its ished first inni 5 and the second 75 for 9. e A0 As in England, the season has been a notable give the Indians permission to leave their | streams, where the best of trout-fishing is | The angler who prefers one hour of fly | which contain_trout from now until the | 1 gestion of Harlow’s backers to play the one for scores in the Emerald Isle. In the re- cent Leinster-Ulster match the first two Lein- ster men put on 152 in an hour against excel- lent bowling, and the side was only dismissed for 535, while centuries are everyday occur- rences. 1 regret to say that F. A. Anson, captain Qf the California Club and one of the association’s vice-presidents, is confined to his bed wit" serious sickness. He is one of our most enthu- siastie and able cricketers, and all his friends will join in the hor for his speedy recovery. The matches scheduled for to-morrow are: Alamedas vs. Pacifics, at Alameda—likely to be a close event—and Bohemias vs. Californias, at Klinknerville. The latter may be forfeited by the Californias on accountoi their captain’s absence. UMPIRE. o e ANDBALL. Rules That Will Govern the World’s Championship Match. The champion handball-players of the world, John Lawlor and Phil Casey, are now in Ireland. As stated some weeks ago in THE CaLL, Lawlor left New Yt_n-k for Ireland purposely to play the Irish champion, Fitzgerald, for the Irish cham- pionship and the championship of the world also. When Casey learned that very keen interest was manifested in handball | by the Trish people he concluded to put in an appearance on the other side of the water, and in all probability he will chal- lenge the winner of the Filzgern]d-L!}wlm‘ match, but the game must be played inac- | cordance with the old rules, as the Irish people do not take much stock in the rules T. Lawless. framed by Phil Case{‘. Tt will be interest- ing to the lovers of the game here to learn of the articles of agreement and the rules that will govern the big Irish game. The following is a copy from Dublin Sport, an Irish sportsman’s journal: Articles of agreement entered into_this 15th day of July, 1895, between James Fitzgerald and John Lawlor, whereby the said James Fitzgerald agrees to play the said John Lawlor amatch at handball—the best of twenty-one games—twenty-one aces to each game—in the racquet and ndball court, Grattan street, Cork, for fifty (£50) a side and the champion- ship of the world. The first ten games of the | maich to be played on Thursday, August 15, 1895. Play to commence at 2 P. M. and not | later than 3 p.M. The remaining portion of the match to be played on Tuesday, August 20. Should it rain and wet the floor $0 as to inter- fere with the mateh being played on either of the days mentioned, the maich shall stand postponed from day to day till the court shall be 'ind proper playing condition, Sundays ex- cepted, t is also agreed that the match shall be played according to the following rules: 1. That every ball served over the short line shall be an ace unless returned. 2. That three short balls be a hand out. 3. That any ball striking the tell board shall not be up. 4. That each player will have the seiécting a ball every other game: | after being selected cannot be changed during | the game unless it be unfit for playing, the | playcr losing the toss to have the first choice. | 5. That neither of the players shall leave the | court during the progressof the game, unless with the consent of the other. 6. That on signing this agreement, twenty- five pounds (£25) shail be deposited with the editor of Sport, who shall be final stakeholder, The balance of the stake money to be deposited on or before Thursday, August 8. 7. That the referee’ must decide all disputes according to this agreement, and his decisiona must be final, as no appeal to a court of law shall be allowed. 8. That if the referee selected for the first part of the match be unable to act as such for the second, another referee be appointed. 9. That Mr. Lawlor receive lmfi the gate re- ceipts for his expenses; the other half to be divided between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Hor- gan, the proprietor of the court. 10. That either ?lnyer 1ailing to comply with this agreement will forfeit the stake and cham- | pionship. The famous Kanturk player, Timothy Twohill, has been after the Irish cham- ion for several months for a game, but or reasons best known to Fitzgerald the latter has ignored the Kanturk man. However, Twohill has deposited the sum oi $125 as a guarantee that he means busi- ness and will meet the winner of the bi match when the race for place is finishedg. Casey is accompanied by Dunn, the champion amateur plaver of America. { According to the present outlook hand- { ball will be a most interesting pastime this summer in the green little isle. The principal topiz of coaversation { among handball-players during the week { has been the proposed match between M. J. Kilgallon and J. Harlow, the coast | champion, for a monetary consideration and the championship of the coast. It was contfidently expected that all arrangements for the match would have been made this week, but unfortunately it has not turned out as was anticipated. The stumbling block was the proposition of Kilgallon that the match should be con- tested in the three courts—the San Fran- cisco, Occidental and Union. Harlow’s friends objected to this proposition on the grounds that it would take too long to de- cide the match, and that it would %ook too much like a hippodrome or ‘fake.” On S\;ndrl?( nifiht the matter was talked over with Kilgallon and he agreed on the sug- grivne e of the said ball first of the series of games in the San Francisco court and he would have the option of selecting either the Occidental or nion courts to play the balance of the games. 3 Sinee then Kilgallon has made no move- ment to clinch the match, but it is under- stood that he wants a week or two to train and finally decide upon the dates for the mateh. Harlow is only too anxious to meet him, and biv agreeing to play the con- cluding games of the series in either the Occidental or San Francisco courts he has shown a sportsman-like spirit snd a proper feeling for the best interests of the game. Itisto be hoped that Kilgallon and his backers will meet Harlow in the same lib- eral spirit, and that all arrangements for the match will be completed without any turther unnecessary delay. The date of the match between Kilgallon and T. F. Bonnet of the Occidental court has not yet been fixed. It is considered probable that it will not take place till after the match between Harlow and Kil- ;nllon is Ehyeq. Bonnet has no ambition or championship honors, but simply wants e S — 8 ~CONDENSED MILK..
