Salmon fishing at Cipitola is not quite s0 good as it was a few weeks ago, but the rockeod, smelt, skipjack and sea bass con- own with any player excepting Jones. He leaves for Idaho to-day on business, and before he returns he will take in Yellow- atone Park. p There will be some interesting games in the courts to-morrow. At the 8an Francisco Jones will play a return match against Harlow and George Hutchinson, who de- feated him last Sunday, At the Union the event of the day will’ be a match between R. Lenihgn and Al Pennoyer and J. Feeney and J. Nelson, and D. Farrell, an old-time crack player, and W. Kelly will play against John Riordan and Terry McManus. Several good games are on the list at the Occidental, ——— WRESTLING. The Relatives of Charles Eyton, the Australlan, Looking for Him. The mother of Charles Eyton, the Aus- tralian _wrestler, is enxiously inquiring about him and has forwarded money for his return passage to Sydney to W. Rob- ertson of 434 California street. _ Eyton was last heard of by local sports in Portland, and is supposed to be some- P b33AY P S w\‘ P ONE DAY’S CATCH OF ROCKCOD BY WELL-ENOWN VISALIA SPORTSMEN AT CAPITOLA. tinue to run in good quantities and good catches have been the rule for some time | past. A party of Visalia sportsmen have been enjoying the fishing for a week past | and on Tuesday last made the best catch | of rockcod of the season. H Captain Pansy, the veteran, who knows 1, piloted them, insuring a | sport. The party consisted of Clerk W. Hammond and i . M. Jeffards of Tulare Mr. Jeffards the elder latter gentleman. »d the trip rather better than his .com- panions, Mr. Hammond declaring that he | has serious doubts about any one feeling | better afloat than ashore. 'he picture shows them with one day’s catch. HANDBALL. Jones WIll Challenge the Winner of the Lawlor-Fitzgerald Match. Local handball playersare awaiting with the keenest interest the result of the match between Lawlor, the American champion, and Fitzgerald, the Irish chsmpion. The tirst rub was, according to arrangements, played in Cork, Ireland, yesterday. If J. C. Nealon of the Occidental Court. Lawlor should win he will in all prob- ability claim the world’s championship | now held by Casey. He has repeatedly challenged Casey to play for the cham- pionship, but the latter always refused to accept the challenge unless Lawlor con- | sented t o play under the new rules to toss from the ace [ine. This Lawlor would not | agree to, on the ground that Casey had | gained the championship while playlngi under the old rules, and should continue | to stick by the same rules. 3 When Jones, the Australian champion, | was in New York;Lawlor threw out a chal- | lenge to play either Casey or him, but neither accepted—Casey for the reason stated and Jones because he was sick and not in_ proper condition to play. Now Jones’ friends in this City are prepared to back him for any amount to play the win- ner of the Lawlor-Fitzgerald match, and a challenge will be forwarded as soon as the result is known. If Lawlor should win he will likely pay thbis City a visit, as he bas often expressed a wish to take a trip to California, and the match could be played here. Jones will find plenty of backers. Harlow, the coast champion, is pe- culiarly unfortunate in getting ona match. The date for his proposed match with M. J. Kilgallon, for the coast championship, which has been so much talked about, seems still to be in the distant future. He is eager for the fray, but Kilgallon is not responsive. LastSunday it was announced that Nelson and Lenihan of the Union Court had accepted Harlow’s challenge to play them and that arrangements were to be made the following night. Harlow is still waiting to hear from them. J. C. Nealon, as ardent and enthusiastic a player as ever tossed a ball, made his re- appearance in the alley of the Occidental court last Wednesday, after an absence of some months through sickness, and was. greeted with a_perfect ovation. There is no more popular player on the coast than the veteran who is champion of the Olympic - Club court, and can hold his where in the north now. Any information sent to Mr. Robertson will be appreciated. The Stockton Athletic Club will soon have a run for its money in the match be- tween Charles Moth, the professional in- structor of the club, and Georee Steely, a young farmer of San Joaquin County, who has much confidence in himself and as- pires 10 championship honors. The new exponent of the ancient game weighs but 160 pounds to Moth’s 200, but thinks that he will prove a winner. The match is billed for next month on a date yet to be set, and will be best three falls out of five, two at sidehold, two at catch-as-catch-can and the fifth to be chosen by the man who wins the two quickest falls. Sidehold wrestling is Steely ’s strong suit. Ll b Bay Fishing. Bay fishing continues good and large catches of rockcod and other varieties of fish are reported from all the principal fishing banks near the Sausalito and Ti- buron shores. On Monday Gus Johnson, the well- known angler, and companion caught over 100 pounds of red rockcod at the Lime Point fog-whistle, some of them weighing from two to three pounds. On Wednesday Dr. Landelin, from Oak- land, with two companions, brought in a lot of red rockcod from the vicinity of Lime Point, variously estimated at from 125 to 150 pounds, the largest weighing four pounds and a number weighing over three pounds each. The keepers of the Lime Point fog- whistle report having caught some very large smelt at that place, some of them weighing from two to three pounds each and measuring over twenty inches in length. Good catches of rockcod are reported from Tiburon. The best catches are said to have been made from Belvedere Point and from Battery Point on Angel Island. —-——— SPORT ABOUT UKIAH. A Party of Anglers Camp on Ten- Mile River. VKIAH, CAL., Aug. 15.—Good strings of fish are yet caught, but the distance to be traveled to get them is a little greater than in the early season. In virgin spots, wherelthe streams are practically free from invasion by the ama- teur fisherman and the sportsman, for an afternoon, only, there is good sport. Near the source of Ten-mile River an outing party recently had rare sport. It was composed of L.J.Chipman, Superin- tendent of Schoo Is of Santa Clara County ; James Hartman and Dr. Coffman and W. H. Barnes of Healdsburg. Dr. George J. Brown of Fort Bragg acted as escort to the party from the coast inward. The first evening in camp Dr. Coffman killed a fine four-point buck, and Professor Chipman caught a basketful of fine trout, averaging seven inches. The duties were assigned in accord with the experience of the occupants of camp as follows: L. J. Chipman, angler; Dr. Coff- man, heavy game; Mr. H. Barnes, steward; Dr. George J. Brown, jester. For one of the stories the doctor told, however, he was expelled from camp and he never returned. ? A pleasanter time was never had by any arty, and as they returned by way of kiah, bearded and dusty, they were lond in their grmses of the magniGicent oppor- tunities afforded by Mendocino for outing pleasures. H. L. Eastman and J. A. Cooper took a short trip to Reeves Creek on last Sunday. These gentlemen are both skilled fisher- men and found no trouble in bagging a lot of fine trout. Mr. Eastman hooked one that measured twenty-six inches and cost 15 minutes’ time to land him. Niurop. - L S A e VISALIA’'S NEW CLUB. An Organization Formed to Foster All Kinds of Sports. VISALIA, CAL., Aug. 15.—Visalia is rap- idly awakening from a state of lethargy in more lines than one. Great interest is just at present being manifested in sporting Jines. -For years the city has been witn- out a club of any sort save the Visalia Sportsman’s Club, but that day has passed, it seems. A meeting was called at the City Coun- cil rooms on last Monday night for the Hatman, cook; W. |- purpose of organizing what is to be known as the Visalia Club—an all-round club, in- cluding athletic, bicycle, tennis, reading and social features. It is proposed to raise $3000, purchase grounds as near the business center of the city as possible and there erect a hand- some.clubhouse, wherein can be found a 'ymnasium, reading-room, cardroom, bil- fiard-ruom. dance hall, baths and banquet- room. The building is to-be an 80x40 two- story structure. 3 Next to the Valley Railroad this is. what this city needs, and it should be given every encouragement by the.residents. Mayor Adams is an enthusiastic sup- orter of the scheme;and ‘many of the eading business men are warmly support- ing the project, so that it is pretty safe to say that the club is an assured fact.. . f there is any one class of persons in a community that absolutely requires care and attention it is the young boy, and such an institution as is the Visalia Club can do more in this line than all the. charities in the land. Upon the youth of a community. depends its stability, and everything that tends to make manly men, physically and morally, of them should be given the united support of the community. Quite a number of disciples of Nimrod have lately developed. The Visalia Gun @lub has developed some members that make a first-rate showing in the shootung world. At Fresno last Sunday a contest was held, and Fox, E. E. McVey and James Rice represented the Visalia Gun Club. - In event No. 5, at ten live birds, the following scores were made: b - - 1 o i CORBCORRANSO 1332181 111211 1*%101 101001 120021 201211 ¥113111 221711 10121+% 2521132 111%11 021201 Sernderiche S PYLTTYTT b Hansen. . Through the efforts of the Visalia Sports- man’s Ciub, the Kaweah River, near this city, has been converted into a delightful field for sport with the fly and rod. One, if he be an expert with_ the fly, can catch from 80 to 100 trout in a day. They are nice size, and a very game variety, making it ereat sport to fish on_these grounds. It is an easy drive from Visalia, and mem- bers of the club run up Saturday evenings and spend Sunday fishing there, thereby securing a day’s delightful reacreation. U. T. CLOTFELTER. S CATALINA ISLAND GOATS. Several Are Killed by a Party of Sportsmen. AVALON, Caraniva Isranp, Aug. 15.— General A. W. Barrett left the island, en route to Sacramento, yesterday, happy in the conviction that he had landed as fine a catch of fish as any one at Catalina this season. In company with a party of a dozen others, including Major J. T. Has- kell, U. 8. A., one of the instructors in the military school at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.,General Barrett captured no less than twenty-eight fine fish, aggregating over 500 pounds. The catch included seven- teen yellowtails and eleven barracuda. A quartet of Northern gentlemen, in- cluding E. L. and R. M. Fitzgerald of San Francisco, Wilbur F. George of Sacra- mentoand N. A. Rideout of Marysville, went goat-hunting yesterday, accompanied by a party of Los Angeles gentlemen. They went via the burro route, were ac- companied by competent guides, and spent the entire day in prowling about the inte- rior mountain fastnesses of Catalina, com- ing in at night so tired that Mr. George i rashly vowed he wouldn't repeat the day’s adventures within a week even if he knew the goats’ horns were tipped with gold. The party came upon a band of some sixty head of goats and rained at leasta hundred shots at their prospective prey, felling two noble animals, the balance of the band stampeding in great shape. - The energetic sportsmen, not to be baffled of such noble game, however, re-enforced their physical energies with a lunch and generous quaffs of Coronado water and then went on and intercepted the band about two miles beyond the point where the first battle occurred. This time they were more successful and felled four, the largest of which measured fully 20 inches across the horns. One saucy and inde- endent white fellow was knocked down y a bullet, but when the hunters ap- Brosched him leaped up and ran, pursued y a shower of shots, in spite of which the game animal made good his escape. The trip was full of exciting adventure and not without many amusing incidents. Messrs. Fitzgerald will leave the island to morrow for Los Angeles, where a dinner will be given at the California Club on Sat- urday evening, and on Monday they will sail for San Francisco on the Santa Rosa. THE SHOOTING FESTIVAL, It Will Begin To-Morrow at Schuetzen Park and All the Cracks Will Be There. The California Schuetzen Club will be- gin its annual festival at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, to-morrow and it will be conducted Sunday week. The various contests will be at the ‘“man,” “ring” and ‘“point”’ targets, and large prizes have been offered in every class. Among those who will contest will be all the members of the California team which carried off the honors in the East, and the veterans will be led by Philo Jacoby. It is expected that Adolph Strecker will carry off the honors and be crowned shooting king, but there is a large following that pin their- faith to George Helm, and others again who think an out- sider will carry off the coveted p: The contests to-morrow will decide who is to_be *‘Schuetzen king.” 1In this case the best marksman will win. The San Francisco Club decides who shall be king by the shooting away of the prepared- eagle, the shooter bringing down the last portion being crowned king. The Califor- nia Club, however, has noeagle but settles the question oh the point target. Qver $2500 in money and trophies will be given away during the two days’ contest. Few societies can boast of such a patriotic origin as the California Schuetzen Club. It was started for the express purpose of defending the honor of California at the great Centennial rifle competition in Phil- adelphia in 1876. = All the prominent shooters joined and Philo Jacoby, Adolph Strecker, A. Rahwyler, William: Streuli, William Koenig, J.'A. Bauer and William Ehrenpfort were chosen to represent the Golden West. Nine States were repre- sented, and the Califérnia boys carried off the honors with a score of 1206 against 1139 made by the Helvetia Club of Phila- delphia, ST Philo Jacoby was president of the club up to two years ago, when he resigned, but he still retains an active interest in the organization. Since the organization of the veréin in 1876 it has prospered, and now owns its -own grounds at Schuetzen Park. The ranges are among the best in California; and it is confidently expected that some good scores will be made before the festival close; —————— JUSTICE FIELD'S STAY. He Will Remain on the Coast Until . Court Opens. Justice Field of the United BStates Supreme Court will remain in San Fran- cisco until the next session of court opens in Octover. During the time he is here he will visit Monterey, Santa Cruz, and probably go to Santa Catalina. His rheu- matism is less troublesome here than in ‘Washington, and his health generally, is improved. AL P iy A Ghastly Specter - | Disease 1s ever, but In no form is it more to be dreaded than in that of the formidablé maladies which attack the kidneys and bladder. Bright's disease, diabetes and gravel may alike be- pre- vented, if inactivity of the kidneys is rectified in time with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, sovereign 4186 in cases of rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipa- tion, malaria, biliousness and nervousness. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Piggott Was First on Charmer at the Long Odds of 50 to 1. FAVORITES FARED BADLY. Vinctor Came Out of Retlrement and, Somewhat Overlooked, Won Handily. Don Plo Pico undoubtedly improves at every race. He was beaten yesterday simply through Shaw outriding Peoples, who is a novice. The ¢ause of Boreas dropping out when the pinch came was explaineéd at the conclusion of the race. The brown colt limped oft the track very lame, the trouble apparently being in the nigh hind leg. Jack Atkins evidently made no mistake when he purchased Belle Boyd. The filly’s time— 1:15—for the six furlongs against an all-aged field was & most creditable performance, un- doubtealy the best of the day. The young turfman Walter Hobart yesterday added the big brown horse Ali Baba to his string, the reputed price Frank Trainor re- ceived for his racer being $2500. The son of Joe Daniels will probably be put at the ““timber- fopping game. Johnny Coleman endeavored to bet some money on Fred Gardner, but his brother pen- cillers did not seem -over anxious to accommo- date him. They chalked 20 to 1 against him but refused the coin when offered. With a mare capable boy in the saddle, Gardner would have won without trouble. A. Johnson knew the long way around the track but not the short one. OQwner Boots did not think his colt Vinetor up to a race, evidently being afraid of Charmion. Dan Miller's mare is many pounds from her old form, and class defeated the others. When in the employ of Mr. Boots, the well- known jockey George Miller stated that he considered Vinctor the best two-year-old he had ever ridden in California. Yesterday was his first appearance at the meeting, but he showed to great advantage. Harrowing the track up one day so that it is like & plowed field, and having it as hard as a billiard table the next, may suit certain horses, but it is hard lines on that portion of the speculative fraternity known as race-goers. Wthien *“dogs’’ come out one day and reel off a mile in 1:413¢ and a couple of days later good horses fail to do a mile better than 1:42, they begin to wonder “where are we at?” The first thought of course is a job, but & squint at'the track each morning would do bettors no harm. Wonders apparently never cease in the world of racing. The last race on the programme yesterday gave form-players and the men that “figger” a paralytic stroke that will take them several seasons to recover from. It was a mile selling event, with four starters—Boreas, Peter the Second, Fred Gardner and Charmer. On past performances the race, of course, looked to lie between Boreas and Peter the Second, and when the post bell rang it was 11 to 10 and take your pick. Fred Gardner is a sort of unknown quality at the track. but. he had A. Johnson in the saddle, so the bookies took a chance and laid 12to1 against him. An allusion to Charmer by a tenderfoot drew forth a look of pity and compassion from the old-timer. She did not have a chance on earth, they said, ard her price in the books upheld the assertion—40 to 1. The flag fell and they were off, with Boreas out in front, Peter at his side. They ran this way until nearing the bend for home, when Peter the Second showed in front with the rank outsider, Charmer slightly in front of Boreas. But only mo- mentarily, the latter soon after taking sec- ond position again, and Chevalier and Sloane, the riders of the two leaders, be- gan to make their ride. Less than a six- teenth from the wire Boreas was beaten but at this juncture Charmer and Fred Gardner came along to make it pleasant for Peter. Piggott was riding Charmer with hands and feet and gradually gat her head in front. The three horses passed the fin- ishing post so closely bunched that a res- taurant napkin would have covered all of them, Charmer winning by a short three parts of a length, with Peter the Second a scant head in front of Fred Gardner. The backers of the outsider yelled like a mob of fanatical Chinese demolishing a mission, and had a floral horseshoe been procurable Piggott would probably have been carried to the paddock in one by his lusty admirers. The crowd received nothing but hard knocks throughout the day. ith the ex- ception of the lukewarm choice Bell Oak, who won the opening race, all of the favor- ites were swamped, In this particular event Bell Oak went to the post 3to 1, and after ieading all the way won at the wire by a short heaa from Don Pio Pico, stepping the five furlongsin 1:0214. Carrara wasa good third. Rob Roy was the hottest kind of a favor- ite for second race, a cheap six-furiong selling affair, closhl%in the betting at 6 to 5. Tom Clarke, Addie M and Warrago were backed principally for the place. The favorite could never take the lead, and a furlong from the wire was hopeiessly beaten. Through Hinrichs’ good ridin W'nrraio won by three parts of alengtfi from Olivia, who was a head before Tom Clarke. The winner wasdtol in the bet- ting, and ran a greatly improved race over her previous attempt. Belle Boyd, the game two-year-old daughter of El Rio Rey, downed a hot favoritein Rose Clark, who went to the post 9 to 10 for the third race, a six-fur- long dash with light welter-weights up. She led all the way up to the draw-gate, where she looked beaten, but out-gained ‘the favorite and won by a head. Crawford, the second choice, was beaten off. Charmion must have learned to loath the sound of the word race track, for ap- parently she can do nothing right an more. She went into the starter’s hands a7 to 5 choice yesterday for the short six- furlong handicap, and after showing the way until well on' toward the- wire quit badly. Vinctor, at 434 to 1 in the betting, then drew away and won handily, a short length in front of Road Runner, the sec- ond. choice. The favorite wasthird by a head. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

If the relatives of the unkmown man who was killed by a Southern Pactfic tramn on the 9th inst. at the crossing of Twenty- seventh and Dolores streets could only be found they would have a good snit for damages against the corporation. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury that inquired into the case yesterday was: That death was accidental, and while we ex- onerate the engineer from all blame, we do find that the law should be enforced limlflng the speed of trains in the City limits, and fin the railroad company responsible for permit- ting trains to run at a greater speed than the law permits. The rate of speed fixed by law within the City limits is ten miles an hour. Three eye-witnesses testified that the train was running at from fifty to sixty miles an hour, the engineer admitted it was going thirty miles, but the fireman stuck out for eight miles an hour. Some of the railrofd witnesses swore that they heard the warn- ing whistle before the train rounded the curve, but others said that the whistle was not sounded until the engine was almost upon the unfortunate man. N John R. Redmond of 311_Day street and John Walsh ana George Harris were all under the trestle when the-train came thundering along. They saw the man making his way over the bridge and all join in saying that the speed of the train was over fifty miles an bour. The train was almost on the man before the whistle was blown. Some boys who saw the man earlier in the day say be was drunk, but other witnesses swore that no man under the influence of liquor could cross the trestle without falling through and break- | ing his neck. Engineer Charles Steele admitted that the train was moving at a rate of thirty miles an hour. At that rate of speed it would take from 800 to 1000 feet to come to a stop, but it was only 200 feet from the place where he first saw the man until the engine was over him. He did not know what rate of speed was allowed within the City limits, but knew that he had to make time. Fireman George Harris directly contradicted his chief and swore that the train was only running eight miles an hour. The inquest on the remains of the Italian who was killed near the same crossing is still to be held. He was driving home from the City when the train came rush- ing around the corner and killed the man and one of the horses. In thisinstance also witnesses testify that the train was VEILING! VEILING!
