THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1895. ‘ will | from Fruitvale to San Leandro next Thurs- The construction of a park in San Mateo County where bicycle racing will consti- tute one of the principal features of amusement is now assured. The wheel- men of this City have no place to practice or to train for race meetings and an inno- vation of this kind will be gladly wel- | comed. The San Francisco Schuetzen Club will hold its annual shooting festival on Sun- day week at the San Rafael ranges. The Country Club proposes to stock its preserve in Marin County with game birds indigenous to the Highlands of Scotland. Anglers are now enjoying excellent hold a five-mile handicap road race day evening at 6:30 o’clock. The Royal !Cycling Club will hold the first of a series of five-mile road races at the Oakland Trotting Park on Sunday, September 1. A week from to-morrow they will hold several tryouts there for short distances. To-morrow the club will lave a run to the park.

San A telegram was received by the Bay City Wheelmen yesterday which comes to them in the nature of the most pleasant surprise they have had in some time. It is to the effect 1hat four of their racing men have been signed to go on the National circuit for the Syracuse people—Wells, Terrill, McCrea and L Here is the message: Z 5. Louts, August 9, 1895.

Knipf»enbcrg | and will start East at once. is the Syracuse agent in Los Ange! a member of the Bay City Club. This will make one of the fastest aggre- gations on the circuit and they should be very successful. Terrill has not been rid- ing for two months owing to a fall he re- ceived some time_ago. The reception the ‘““Syracuse Bay City quartet” will receive irom their club members on their arrival here in November when the circuit reaches San Francisco will be an ovation, and the. club is very jubilant over Wells’ fortunate combination. The Oakland Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club es, also 1 | best, and can be made much more com- fortable by taking a day and a half to do it, as they will do. Captain Hughes of the Four Aces Cycling Club has called a club run to the Cliff House and Presidio for to-morrow, leaving the clubrooms, Eighth and Mis- sion streets, at 1:30 ». ». Eugene M. Levy is secretary of the club. The Liberty Cycling Club has recently elected the following new members: D. A. Easton, A. E. Nelson, F.R. Haley, H. W. Bassett and J. Maguire. To-morrow the | club goes to SBan Mateo, and will have a | scorch over the San Carlos conrse before | returning. A. W. Rhys and W. E. Lee of the Bay | City Wheelmen will start on a wheeling | trip of twe weeks’ duration through Lake | County to-morrow. They are both expert riders'and will thoroughly enjoy this va- | cation. All communications intended for the North Star Bicycle Club should be ad- dressed to S. Hess, secretary, at 1800 Sutter street. The following communication has been received from Stockton: Mr. Spalding, Cycling Editor Call—DEAR STR: I wish to make complaint concerning the prizes given by the Stockton Athletic Associa- tion. In the Fourth of July races they adver- tised prizes valued at $15, whereas they were nhot worth half as much. You could duplicate them for $5. I think some notice ought to be taken of this matter, as they are going to give a race meet here. The complainant should register his grievance with R. M. Welch, chairman racing board, 532 California street, San Francisco. He has the power to withhold a sanction for the proposed race meet if he knew the value of prizes offered was mis- represented. Or, a better way would be, to complain direct to the athletic association which gave the prizes, and us it is a reput- able organization, I havé no doubt the dis- satisfaction would be speedily adjusted. Captain Korn has called a run of the San Francisco Road Club to San Quentin to- morrow. Members will assemble at the clubhouse at 8:30 A. ., and take 9 o’clock Sausalito boat. A picture is presented this week of Messrs. Leahy and” McBride, the (the riders in their recent five-mile road race. There is going to be a colored gentle- | men’s race at Central Park to-morrow in | connection with the general jollification of colored Odd Fellows. I understand entries have been received from many of the speedy riders from this City and surround- ing towns, and the natural rivalry for su- premacy should result in a good race. Henry Martin, the grand treasurer of the Native Sons, is having a special wheel built for him. The reason for this will be crack tandem team of the club, who paced | | blind run to-morrow, about which Captain | California. more apparent when it is stated that Mr. Martin’s weight is 350 pounds. The Crescent Road Club.will hold a five- mile handicap road race over the Sn‘n Carlos course on September 1. The club’s meeting night has been changed from ‘Wednesday to Tuesdng. Eleven members rode to San Jose last Saturday night and went to Alum Rock, ntum(ns Sunday. The associated clubs’ delegates decided at their meeting last Saturday night that the Crescent Road Club was never legally dis- organized, and they were retained as mem- bers of the association. The Acme Club Wheelmen are to have a Kitchen is very mysterious. The California Cycling Club members go to Redwood City to-morrow under Captain Burke. The Bay City Wheelmen will have a euchre party at the clubrooms en 8aturday evening, August 17, to be followed by a smoker, for members only. The entries for the ~Liberty Cycling Olub’s road race, on the 25th, close next Tuesday evening. Intending participants should note this. Chief Consul Melrose has appointed the Golden West Hotel of this City as the league hotel for S8an Francisco. All league members will be given a rate of $1 25 a day upon presenting their membership cards. The Imperial Cycling Club intends to hold a five-mile hanaicap road race over the San Carlos course a week from te-mor- row. If Byrne and some of the other speecy ones ride it will be worth seeing. SPALDING. enoaen GUN AND GAME. Foreign Game Birds for Callfornla. The Game-Warden Question, The Country Club expects soon to have some foreign game birds which will add | very materially to the already bouutiful“ supply oi small game which abounds in | its large preserve in Marin County. Messrs. Webster and Kittle believe that the grouse | and blackeock, indigenous to the High- lands of Scotland, would do well in the Country Club, and as a majority of the club members concur with Kittle and ‘Webster in this particular an order has been sent over the water for game. Itis not at all improbable that Japanese wood- cock will also be introduced here. The ex- periment of stocking the game preserve with those grand game birds will be watched with no small interest by the sportsmen of this State. The Mongolian pheasants which were liberated in the northern section of the preserve a few years ago have not done well, The grond is riot adapted to birds of this kind, and it was a mistake on the art of the club to introduce them in the ope that they would multiply and prosper. The Fish and Game Commissioners may expend a few dollars some time in the fu- ture in the purchate of foreign game for Messrs. Allen, Golcher, White and party left this City last Tuesda! for a three weeks’ outing in Humboldt County. They will camp at the headwaters of the Van Duzer River. Geol:]ge Roork, Thomas Barry and Wil- lism Johnson left yesterday for Fort Bragg, to be gone three weeks. Eugene O'Rourke and party are enjoy- in, fiood sport at the headwaters of the Eel River. Al Cumming will leave this City on Tuesday for Webber Lake. He intends to have great sport shooting mountain quail and grouse over his_crack water spaniels, The San Joaquin Valley Gun Club will terminate its season’s trap-shooting on the first Sunday of September. In the July shoot J. W. Shiell of Kingsburg won the class A prize, A. Guy Lovelace of Dinuba the class B prize and A. H. Murray Jr. of Visalia the class C medal. The contests held this month resulted in J. W. Shiell winning the class A medal, G. Lovelace the class B medal and W.A.Wild of Visalia the class C medal. C. H. Smith and W. E. Lewis and family have returned irom a grand outing in Trinity County. When they arrived at Lewiston the{]were joined by J. Bauman and George Vanmatre of Lewiston and John Reed of Minersville. The party camped at a place commonly known as Stewarts fork, near Deer Creek, where the sportsmen enjoyed mainificent fishingand first-class shooting. They bagged twenty- seven deer and three bedrs, besides small game, which was easily procured. Mr. Smith states that a few evenings previous to brenkinicump an immense grizzly bear was seen by Bauman and Lewis; but the old fellow was too cunning and broke away before the sportsmen got within good shooting distance of him. Probably all for the better for those concerned. To-morrow the Empire Gun Club will shoot clay birds at Alameda Point, and the Olympic Gun Club will enjoy the sport of smashing inanimate targets at the Oak- land track. A letter from Eureka to THE CALL states that the Humboldt Fish and Game Club has incorporated, and that the purposes of the club, as stated in the articles of incorpora- tion, are to promote the introduction and Ereu{rvatmn of game, game birds and fish in Humboldt County; to assist the officers of the law in en¥orch|g the fish and game laws; to acquire, own, lease or hire fish and game preserves and privi- leges, and to own and construct all prop- | . erties which usually accompany a fish and game club’s sporting outfit. Although game wardens should have been appointed by the Supervisors in every county in this State, there are many coun- ties withont, wardens whose people will re- gret inafew years hence the foolishness and shortsightedness of the Supervisors who refused to appoint game-keepers. During the fishing and hunting seasons sportsmen of this City and elsewhere de- Ean for those counties where game and sh are most abundant. The counties must profit by the visits of those sports- men, who spend many hundreds of dollars before taking their departure. It is not feasible to supmse that the counties where the game has been destroyed by poachers will enjoy the visits of the sport-lovers and money-spenders. If the Supervisors would give the results that accrue from game preservation a thought there would be game wardens appointed in every county of the State. s The State Fish and Game Commissioners of Maine have found it necessary toissue a circular to wardens instructing them in their duties. This isan excellent plan and it should be done in this State where game wardens have been but recently appointed. Bosides this manner of instructing the lan of assembling wardens at stated times for discussions and special instruction on cases which have developed should be fol- lowed. It has been tried in some States with great success. Some of the wardens appointed are, no doubt, ignorant of their duties, and a little drilling occasionally must be productive of more efficient service. THE CALL is in receipt of a letter frem a resident of Boca. It states that hunters bave been slaughtering grouse for the past month in the hiils near the town, and that a large party of hunters will start on a F-ouse-hummg expedition on Sunday next. t is strange that the Fish and Game Com- missioners have taken no action in this matter. Some of the Deputy Fish Com- missioners of this_ City and State have been rusticating at Boca and vicinity for some time past, but they evidently gave the matter little or no attention. "It was all fish with them. e THE ANGLER. How a Country Boy Surprised Some Noted Anglers—The Cheese Balt. Angling is one of the quiet pastimes which is largely indulged in by men and women who have a predilection for recrea- tions that afford an opportunity to study nature in its solitary confinement. The angler is generally a man who takes little or no interest in sports that are made in- teresting by the addition of gambling: consequently there can be but little news obtained concerning his outings outside of the places he generally visits on his re- turn from the country. It goes without John Gallagher, an Angler of Oakland ‘Who Has Achieved Great Success. saying, however,.thnt once a man thor- oughly masters the science of fly-casting he becomes ever afterward a convert of the sport. It isa most fascinating pleas- ure, which is enjoyed only by men dnd women who have experienced its charms— that is, practically speaking. Judge John Hunt has had a most enjoy- able vacation at Webber Lake. He speaks in eulogistic terms of the fly-fishing that Henry Skinner, Who Won the Cham- pionship Medal for Fly-Casting. zjlrll always be had on the lake in June and uly. Tie Truckee River will soon be at its best, although late intelligence from there states that the river iseven yet too high and that the September fishing will most assuredly be fine. Henry Skinner, the champion fly-caster, who i3 known to all lovers of the sport of angling, is now whipping the Truckee, and aithough his "success is not exactly what he had anti¢lpated he is nevertheless enjoying splendid fishing. A letter from Boca states that Mr. Skinner has succeeded in basketing several large rainbows, and a box containing fifty beautiful trout which was received by E. T. Allen a few days ago wa§ proof sufficient of Skinner’s clever handiing of the bamboo. Besides Mr. Skinner there are other noted anglers now whipping the Truckee. J. R. Chase of Santa Cruz, whose excellent record as an angler is envied by Waltonians who reside in the city by the sea, is among the clever Whip artists who are picking out the big fellows from the deep pools of the far- famed Truckee. Mr. Chase is very well pleased with his success, notwithstanding an occasional in- voluntary bath he takes when attempting a long cast over some favorite pool. He has landed some very nice trout, which afforded him great sport in playing, and John Gallagher, the champion aneler of Oakland, is not far behind his competitors. John has the honor of landing some of the largest trout that appeared in Boca this year, and, although “the whoppers” were caught on a spoon, much credit is due the veteran angler, as spoons without number have been tried without success, and, as will be seen by the accompanying picture, Mr. Gallagher feels deservedly proud of a nine-pound rainbow, which he succeeded in landing near the ‘‘Burned Tree,” on the Truckee, a few days ago. A letter to T CaLL from a schoolboy resident of Boca states thata chap of about 14 years of age has kindly given some of the tourist sportsmen an item or two con- cerning trout-fishing in the Truckee which they had had very good reasons to appre- ciate and admire. Enough to say that the boy will have pocket money sutficient to last him until the opening of next year's fishing season. Lewis Prenot of the Deming-Palmer Milling Company is also enjoying the palm{ atmosphere of the mountains. He is well supplied with *‘silver hooks,” con- sequently his friends will not want for trout. Louis Henry of the Spring anlg Water Company, Donald McCrea of the Bulletin, Dr. Stanton and “other” hsh and game slayers will leave this City for Boca on Tuesday. The fact that the Truckee Lum- ber-Company has ceased the dumping of sawdust into the river has increased the desire of anglers to visit the great fishing stream of the mountains, and no doubt the sport will be great from now until the end of the season. The following letter from Webber Lake cannot fail to amuse and interest anglers. It reads: There was a_gay company seated on_the veranda of the hotel at Lake Webber one after- noon not long #go, among them Judges Wal- lace and Hunt, Fish Commissioners Emeric and Murdoch, Morgan, Lake, Beans and Ralph Lowe. Wallace and Hunt fold judicial jokes. Emeric and Murdock recited wonderful fish stories. The others were attentive iisteners. The fishing was over for the day, and every box returned empty, although the most temptin flies were dexterously cast and the speckle | beautics enlivened the surtace of the water by their graceful leaps. Judge Wellace opened the symposium by in- quiring of Judge Hunt, “What fiy did you use?” “The red and black gnat.” «I tried them with the Governor and Emer- ie'c dazzlex,” said Emeric. _ “My tempter was the evening Dun,” sald Beans. ““And mine, tho ‘gray hackle, ” chimed Mur- k. dock. “Well, I did my best with the morning | glory,” said Morgan. | Then Lake and Ralph Lowe gave their expe- | riences with a variety from Royal Coachman to Bluebottle. While various reasons were being advanced as to the peculiar and capricious taste of the wily trout, a little fellow not over 3 years old came along catrying a beautiful pounder, and Judge Wallace asked: “Where did you catch him, my boy 7 “Wight up vonder.” | “What iy, did you use?” “No fly; Tcaught him with cheese.” Of course there was a laugh, followed by | an inquiry as to how he came to bait with | cheese when it turned .out that one of the boatmen as a joke had told the little fel- | low the way to catch fish was to bait his | hook with cheese. The nextday hecaught two more with beefsteak, his cheese nav- ing given out. To those who wish to fill their creels, instead of using the gaudy and artistic fly I suggest the boy’s bait— beefsteak and cheese. For the truth of this I refer to Judge Wallace. WALTON. e SEA FISHING. Catches That Were Made In the Vicinity of Lime Point. Rockcod fishing has been good during the past’ week and large catches are re- ported from the principal fishing banks extending from California City to Lime Point. On Tuesday last George Thomson, a well-known angler, and two companions caught 115 pounds of red and blue rock- cod at Lime Point and Point Cavalla, the largest a blue rockcod welghing five and three-quarters pounds and four of them weighing over three pounds each. On the same day Frank Weber and friend caught about eighty pounds of rock- cod at Point Cavalla, the largest weighing three and a half pounds. On Wednesday Frank Nichols and friend canght over 200 tomcods and kingfish on the fishing banks og osite Sausalito. On the same day Mr. Thomson and Jad; caught a basketful of tomcods, kingfis and a few flounders in the same locality. COURSING.’ How Greyhounds Are Trained In England—Inclosed Meetings. There. is no doubt that a few years hence coursing will be among the most popular outdoor sports patronized by the sportsmen of this State. The introduction of the inclosed parks has very materially inereased the interest in this splendid pas- time, as the lovers of coursing in this City cannot afford the time and expense inci- dent toalong journey into the country where hares are plentiful and the wire fences few and far between. Of course, there can be no just comparison made be- tween coursing in an inclosure and cours- ing on an open plain where the game little short-tails are frequently in better condi- tion for racing than the hounds that pur- sue them. The inclosed coursing parks, however, educate the tyros who are daily becoming converts to the grand old sport, and when an open meeting is held at Merced or some other locality where the ground and the game are in good condition the spectators thoroughly understand the rules which govern the sport, and such absurd remarks as, “The black dog won because he killed his hare, etc.,” is seldom heard at the present-day meetings, and this is the re- sult of the education received through in- doer coursing. The latter system of rac- ing must, however, be kept clean, or otherwise the pastime will decrease as uickly as it-increased in popularity. Such glsgmoehfl practices as the doctoring of dogs and *‘crooked” slipping will quickly A BICYCLE WEDDING IN PARIS, ON WHICH OCCASION THE BRIDE WORE WHITE BRIDAL BLOOMERS, MEETING OF TEE BRID., BIRIDEGROOM, BEST MAN AND BRIDESMA.

And why not? ‘Who cares to see a race between either hounds or horses when one of the animals has been physiced tosuch an_extent that it becomes thoroughly incarncned and un- unable to do justice to itseli or the people wiio wagered on its success? Itis a well- known fact that trickery of the most me- nial kind has been practiced at some of the coursing parks by unscrupulous people who cared nothing for the sport, but for the money that may be made by jobbery. THE CALL has for years attempted to ele- vate the grand old sport on this coast, and it has succeeded in a great measure to place coursing in the position it should command in this great coursing country. To still further its interests the names of men who may be detected in the act of “fixing’’ races at inclosed meetings will, in future, be published for the edification of the sportsmen who have given their time and money in the hope that-coursiag in California° would be honored and recog- nized by all classes of sportsmen asthe leading eutdoor sport. 5 G Interest in the big stake meeting which is announced to take place at Ocean View Park next month, 1s daily increasing. From all accounts there will be greyhounds from Sacramento, Stockton, Merced, San Jose ana even as far south as Los Angeies among the entrants. The managers of the park have made special arrangements with & Merced trapper tc ship four crates of hares for this big meeting. 7 The name of Q. Van Hummell, M.D., is quite familiar to all American sportsmen who are interested in coursing. The doc- tor is now in England, and in a recent let- ter to the American Field he gives some ideas on the English system of training reyhounds. Speaking of John Coke of firickdale, who is numbered among the most successful trainers of greyhounds in Englend, he says: Athis kennels there are about fifty of the hignest-bred greyhounds in training. Cook takes the saplings in hand as soon as the Waterloo cup meeting has been run In Febru- ary. They are taken and broken to lead, physic given to them, and then lightly fed on oatmeal porridge and given a little daily ex- ercise for several weeks. Then the feed is in- creased and the daily walks become longer. In a month the sapling gets about five miles’ leading every day, and & good brushing and a light hand-rubbing also every day. Twice & week he is taken to the beach of the Irish Sea and given a gallop of hali a mile on the sands. Thisiscontinued all summer. About the first of August the walk is increased to ten miles a day, the brush- ing is the same but the hand-rubbing is longer. ‘he exercise is always given on & collar and lead while the trainer goes on foot, and the only fast work these dogs get is a gallop from one trziner toanother ina field every other day —say, one gallop of half a mile each time. 1 the dog tekes on too much flesh he is galloped once every day for a few days until this surpius flesh is 1émoved and he shows proper form. Now those that are wanted for an early meet are carefully prepared and given o trial after a hare; and those that show good form are entered, and those that lack speed or cleverness are hung and buried. They tell you that they can lose money enough on good ones, and poor ones are much better dead. There will be racing to-morrow at the Ocean View and Golden Gate parks. Entries for which are: At Casserley’s Ocean View Park: J.H. Perrigo’s Kitty Scot vs. H. Hull’s Frisco Boy, J. H. Perri- go's Jim Corbett vs, H. Hull’s Butcher Boy, T. Brennan's White Rustic_vs. P.

How Dogs Should Be Cared For at Home—Treatment of Disease. Within the past few years many valuable and highly prized sporting dogs have been imported into this State. English and Irish setters scem t2 be the favorites among a large class of sportsmen. Pointers are, of course, very popular among sportsmen who make quail-shooting a specialty. ‘While conversing recently with one of the oldest and most experienced handlers of dogs in this State some valuable infor- mation was elicited regarding the proper methods of handling dogs, which will un- doubtedly prove of interest to many sportsmen. On the return from a hunt all burrs and other painful substances should be removed from'the canine’s coat, and es- pecially the burrs that get in between the toes. To toughen a dog’s feet pour some com- mon pine tar into a pan and put the dog’s feet into it so that the ball and bottom of the foot is thoroughly covered, after which vou give the dog a walk on some dusty road. For canker of the ear take one pint of vinegar, 16 grains of iodine and 29 grains of iodide of potassium. Mix and wash out the ear well and apply daily. Two or three applications will generally cure even bad cases. Cold teais an excellent wash for sore eyes. Asa purgative castor oil is one of the best. As an emetic use common table salt dissolved in warm water. For a tonic every week or ten days put a handfual of lac sulphur in the feed; about a table- spoonful to each dog. To keep the skin in good condition keep your dogina clean and tolerably warm place; change bedding at least once a week; exercise morning and evenin% and feed once a day. Mange can frequently be destroyed by rubbing the following mixture well into the skin: Oil of tar two ounces, sulphuric acid one ounce and fish oil one pint. bl CRICKET CHIRPS. The Latest Inter-County Matches in England—To-Morrow’s Game, The English cricket season.of '95 is likely to be a record one for many vears to come. In the recent Lancashire-Somerset noatch the former side scored 801 runs, the largest innings in county play, and A. C. McClaren made 424, the highest individual first-class register on record.
