Practicing for the Sportsmen’s Tournament—Tennis and Wheel. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Aug. 30.—Sacramento eporting circles are making great preparations for the coming tournament of the State Sports- en’s Assoclation, to be held at Agricultural 4 September 4, 5, 6 and 7, snd every evidence bas been adduced going to prove that it willbe the greatest affair of a like nature ever held in the State. A delegation of twenty of the best shots of Southern California will be present, and will endeavor to convey the various trophies to the land of cactus and orange blossoms, and San Francisco will also be represented. The Fay diamond medal, which is to be competed for, is on exhibition at Eckhardt’s gunsiore in this city, and is at- tracting great attention, end there 1s no doubt that the entrance money will net the present ossesser of the tropny, Martinez Chick, at east $200. At last Sunday’s shoot of the Peli- can Club, Game Commissioner James Morrison walked off with the medal, killing 19 out of 20; the birds were fully matured and flew strong, yet the percentage of scores were the best of the season, being 18 per cent with pearly twenty entries. Doves are geiting scarce, and being fat and rong are flying hard. ' Messrs. Eckhardt, Teports more game in Sacramento County this vear than has been known in years,and is fully borne out in his statement by all local shots who have been out prospeeting for doves. Hun- dreds of mallard and teal can be found on the sloughs near the city limits, and are so tame that the rei)m’! of a gun fails to start them to wing, and Helm reports having seen an enor- mous number of potted-breast hawks this sea- son during one of his trips along the Cosum- nes River; he saw two flocks of these game-de- stroyers in all containing at least sixty hawks. One flock of thirty-five were hovering over a beavy of guail that were in the willows along the river bank. Helm threw his gun together and killed six out of the flock before they left the vicinity. He elaims that in all his many years’ experience in forest and field he never kaw hawks consorting in flocks before, and in such numbers, The salmon run of the past week has been the largest of the season and the boats have made money and are improving every hour, as the season closes on August 31. George Chapman and J. Shilling, who have been making Sunday raids on the trout streams near Cisco, killed thirty-five and thirty-six Dolly Varden trout last Sunday. The road members of the Capital City Wheel- men’s Club made the run to chlmm last Sun- day, twenty-two miles and return, with over twenty participants. The clubis well on the road to prosperity. Miss Crocker, Elliott, Hursh and Upson, some of Sacramento’s crack wheelmen, were in at- tendance during the meets of the Pacific Cy- clists at Dixon and Woodland. They report the circuit riders as meeting with favor all over the State, aad honors are being divided very evenly. The t Park Association will lay a two-lap mile bicyele track at the park next seasom, which they claim will be thef best in the State. The Cepitol City Club has adopted the follow- ing schedule of laws: The speed of bicycling within the city limits must not exceed eight miles an hour: approaching vehicles, cyclists must pass to the right,and when overtaking vehicles they must pass to the leit, always sounding bells. Tennis is rapidly becoming popular and the courts are occupied at sll hours. Among the most prominent players Jerome Carroll heads the list and is coming to the front rapidly. The directors of the State Agricultural So. ciety have offered a medal for a match of doubles between Driscoll and De Long ys. the Hardy Brothers. The match will take place in the courts of the Capitol Tennis Club and will be the event of the season. Tennis was the principal sport at the courts at Bartlett Springs this season. Among the ladies Mrs. Warner, Miss Snooks and Miss Davis—the latter two being Sacramento experts with the racket— ave taken the lead, and among the gentlemen Moye Stevens of Los Angeles has taken the most games. =i SAN JOSE SPORTING. Lion Hunting a Great Sport—Santa Clara College Football Team. SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 30.—During the past week several parties from this city have en- yed rare sport hunting mountain lions in the vicinity of Moody's Gulch, about five miles above Los Gatos. About ten days ago C. Salsman and F. J. Galley, while fencamped in Moody’s Gulch, ran across several lionesses with kittens, On their return home they or- ganized a party and secured several fox hounds and went back to enjoy lion hunting. During the week’s stay they killed three lions and six half-grown kittens. The largest of the lions weighed about 130 pounds and succeeded in killing one of the hounds and seriously wounding a couple of more before the hunters could dispaich it. Mountain lions are quite numerous in that vicinity, and those in the party pronounce the sport most exciting. :nting is attractin, ason draws to & past week several fine bu vere killed on the Llages and in the mountains back of Los Gatos. In the latter vicinity some good shoot- ing can be had on moonlight nights in the vineyards, where they come to feed on the vine leaves. Everything points to an abundance of quail the coming season. Young birds were never more numerous then this vear. But little fishing is done, although those who have visited the trout streams during the past week have secured good messes. A great many of the local fishermen are at Capitola, where trolling for salmon is at its height. Sev. eral poaching parties have returned with good catches of black bass from_the reseryoir of the San Jose Water Company and Weber Lakes. One party returning from the latter place ex- ibited & dozen fine bass, the smallest of which was eight inches long. Fishing at both places is prohibited, but the parties generally get around aiter the watchmen are in bed. ¥ ning meet of the Garden City Cyclers ission day promises to be a great suc- he tandem race is attracting a great ition, and it is thought that the entries for that event will be large. ¥ lowing the meet in this city, the n Jose Road Club and the Tribane Cyclérs of Gilroy will hold a joint race meet at the Gilroy race track. The Ladie: cling Club of the ¥. M. C. A., the Association Cyclers and the Elite Cyclers held a joint run to the fruit orchard of Mrs. Hayes-Chynoweth near Eaenvale Wednesday evening. 1t is suid that Miss Mala Helm of Santa Clara, who recently rode ten miles between Irvington and Milpitas, paced by a tandem, in 35 much attention ose. During the minutes, will ride an exhibition mile with pacemakers at the cyclers’ meet on the 9th. _During the past week 50,000 Truckee trout mo mykiss) have been received from”the Fish Commissioners by Game Warden Macken- zie and distributed in the various streams of the county. During the summer 100,000 trout have been planted in the streams of this county, and another shipment of 50,000 trout was received this morning. A football team is soon {0 be organized by the students of Santa Clara College. During the coming week several trial games will be played, when Messrs. Wilson and Gassell, the coliege coaches, will select the players. nta Clara College has several good baseball nines and the boys are practicing dally, so as to be in form should any challenges be sent their way. The shooting section of the San Jose Turn Verein has purchased a tract of land near Oak Hill Cemetery for a shooting park. i g SPORTS AT CATALINA. A Fish Which Reeled Off Five Hun- dred Feet of Line In a Jiffy. AVALON, Catalina Island, Aug. 30.—The amount of fish being now daily taken at Cata- lina Island, almost defies belfef. Not before this season has the sea given up its denizens o sbundantly. J. Neale Plumb,a New Y ork multo- millionaire, who is putting in three months at Caralina this season, sll of which time he de- votes practically to fishing, heads the list with the following astonishing record of catches in # single week, aggregating five days’ fishing: For ight yellow-tails weighing all the way from to forty-two and a halfl pounds; thirty-six rock bass, three barracuda and one enormous _tunny, weighing sixty-one and a half pounds. This last cateh aroused moreinterest and dis- When cussion than any before this season, the monster was brought ashore speculation as to his class was rife. Many old fishermen pro- nounced it an albicore, but Mr. Plumb, who is &n expert angler and has ceught hundreds of albicore from the deck of sailing vessels off the coasts of Africa and South America, in- sisted thet this fish differs in severai respects from the albicore, noticeably in the length of its fins. Neither could an albicore, he con- tended, tow a boat four miles out to sea, as this one had done. When the fish struck, Mr. Plumb and his faithful lieutenant, Mexican Joe, were not over fifty yards outside of a kelp- bed, trolling about in’ pursuit of seabass in 125 feet of water, with & heavy “pipe-sinker” :m] a fiying-fil, weighing about & pound, for Bit. At the very first dash the fish took out 500 feet of line. It was impossible to check him, and bad it not been for the presence of mind and skill of Joe Mr. Plumb declares be would naye lost his prize. The old Mexican fisher- man turned his boat like a flash and backed up toward the fish, relieving the tremendous strain and allowing the intrepid angler to re- gain some of his line, nearly all of which had been reeled off. The fish kept right on out 10 sea with & steady pull, and Joe relinquished the oars, the boat rushing along faster than he could row. When about & mile out the fish began making deep-sea plunges, which alter- nated with swiit dashes out to sea, till finally he retired 350 feet below the surface, where he sulked some time and then permitted himself 1o be slowly reeled to the suriace. The game fellow gave one fearful plunge as he reached the surface and then ley passive at_the mercy of his captor, who promptly gaffed him. » After lengthy Giscussion as to his class by reterence to the United States Commission of Fish and Fisberies, volume and section 1, plate No. 95 A, an exect engraving of the fish was found, labeled “The Alalonga, or long-finned “Tunny.’” This settled the dispute and the mysterious fish was duly classified as a tunny. }. B. Foss of Bekersfield, who has the reputa- tion of having caught the largest number of deep-sea groupers At Catalina for the two pre- Sabng seasons, 1s here again for & week's con- test with groupers. He never fishes nearer ghore than six or eight miles and is an expert in his line. e SPORTS AT STOCKTON. Pigeon-Shooters of the Athletic Club—A Very Clever Boxer. STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 80.—All of Stockton is talking about the tug-of-war contest ‘which took place at the pavilion Saturday night be- tween James Peters (Bob Smith), who was sup- FHelm, J. Bruner end Crackwell, in their recent trip to Centerville, bagged 105 of the blue streaks in & day’s shoot. Game Warden Helm pe & rancher of Union Island, and A;dk lg?)duu‘, anchor man of the Italian team of this city, an account of which ap) t0-day's’CALL. The Italians were so confident of the successof their man that they wagered over $3000 on the resuit. Podesta is an old hand at the business and was consided invin- cible. 8o great was the interest taken in the event by all classes that fully 3000 people wit- nessed it. Bunday the first shoot of the Stockton Ath- letic Association took place, and a number of members of the Stockton Gun Club partici- pated. The day was a perfect one, and some good ecores were made, The new grounds of che association at Goodwater Grove were used for the first time. A sheltered grand stand has been erected for the benefit of spectators, and there are few places in the State better fitted for trap shooting than the Xhu selected by the Gun Club annex of the Athletic Associa- tion. George Schaeffe: of Sperry & Co. and L. Payne tried for first place with forty-six birds each to their credit. Since then there has sprung up sreat rivalay between the ‘two and. Payne has challenged Schueffer 10 & match on Sunday at twenty-five birds each and has deposited a $25 forfeit with your corre- spondent to bind it. If the match is made it will in reality be one between representatives of the Stockton Gun Club and the Gun Club annex of the Athletic Association, as Payne represents the one and Schaeffer the other. There are many better shots in both clubs than either of these men and Stocktonians think they can pick up ten men who can defeata similar number from any one club on the const. Trap shooting is having a regular boom and there are more enthusiasts here who love this sport in proportion to the poxulnlicn than in any other city on the coast. The match that the Stockton Gun Club was tr)‘in% 10 arrange with the Empire Gun Club has fallen through for the present. Wednesday night the Stockton Athletic Asso- ciation gave its first exhibition at its new gymnasium. The affair was & very creditable one, as the members have only had the use of the gymnasium and apparatus since the middle of Ju! Some clever wrestlers have been de- veloped since Charles Moth was engaged as in- structor, and there are many good boxers in the club. The gymnasium was erowded with visitors and a good exhibition was given. Stockton ‘passeuen in Sam Frankenheimer, a brother of Jules, the stocky helfback of Stan- ford, one of the best heavy-weight boxers on the coast. He has often made Charlie Turner quit and is &s good a man as ever. Franken- heimer boxed an exhibition bout with Moth Wednesday night. The field captain of the association is pick- ing out & football team to go against those re resenting the Reliance and Olympic clubs th: year. eisanold hand at the business and has some splendid material to draw from. Stockton will be heard from this year in foot- ball circles. There are a number of old col- lege players here and much new material. A match has been finally arranged between Charles Moth and a farmer named Seeley of London to wrestle five bouts on September 20. The styles are to be side hold and catch-as- catch-can. ———— GREAT POLO GAME. Entries for the Southern California Meeting at Santa Monlica. SANTA MONICA, CAL., Aug. 30.—The fifth annual meeting of the Southern Cali- fornia Polo Club, which begins on Admis- sion day, September 9, on the club’s three- quarter mile track, adjacent 1o the club grounds at Santa Monica, give promise thus early of being far more successful than any of its predecessors. The entries closed on August 26. They were so nu- merous and of such a good character that it is proposed to extend the meeting a day, thus making it two instead of one. Other races will be added in which some of the horses in the Monterey meet are expected to participate. The following ofticers have been appointed : Stewards—H. A. Winslow, Roy Jones, Peter D.

THE TAMALPAS BALWY Stetson Will Acquire Points for the Proposed Mountain Road. Prospects of the Enterprise and Its Stimulating Effect Upon the Vicinity. Among the objects of the visit of J. B. Stetson, president of the North Pacific Coast Railroad Company, to the East, is the examination of the cable road to the summit of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For it is now decided that there shall be a road built to the crest of Mount Tamalpais, and Mr. Stetson, who is a good engineer himself, wants to see just how the thingis done, and if he canim- prove upon it on this coast. It has beer estimated that the cost of such a road would be between twenty and thirty thousand dollars, although this is considered by experts as a good deal below what the actual expenditure will arrive at. Mr. Stetson, before his departure, in dis- cussing the subject, expressed the opinion that it would be a paying enterprise from the start. There come, he computed, about 30,000 tourists every year to San Francisco, and undoubtedly a large percentage of these would embrace the opportunity of obtain- ing the suEerb view of plain and ocean the great peak affords. Even now those who walk up the mountain on moonlight nights to see the sun rise have within the past two seasons mounted into the hun- dreds. The cars would be so swung that they would pregent an almost horizontal position when on the steepest grades, With the beginning of the railroad, which will be probably next spring, the founda- tion of the hotel 'on the crest of the moun- tain will be laid. To leave San Francisco at 11:30 at night, sleep 2800 feet above the level of the sea, and see the Farallones ly- ing apparemla' at the base of the mountain will be an addition to the many new sen- sations California offers strangers. Btimulated by those signals of progress Ban Rafael is deliberating on an electric road to thread the town, run past San An- gelmo to Ross Valley, and down as faras Tamalpais village. The absence of street transportation is a drawback to the town, and the trolley will soon, according to resent indications, make its appearance n that delightful suburb. e — Passing Confederate Bills.

L THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Rico Was a Big Surprise, Winning at the Long Odds of 25 to 1. THE FAVORITES SLAUGHTERED. Belle Boyd Crippled the Talent Badly by Finishing Outside of the Money. There are seven races to berun off to-day. The horses in the first event will be called out at 2 o'clock. EChevalier rode the favorites in the first three races and none of them secured any part of the money. Peoples, who rode Don Pio Pico, is certainly of the improving sort. His finish on the big colt gives promise of a future for the lad. A. P.Miller, the owner of Favory, who has been an invalid for many years, watched the victory of the horse from his stable on the hill facing the stretch, where he had been wheeled in an invalid’s chair. Owner Boots of the Elmwood stock farm has secured the services of C. Heuston, a clever light-welght who can ride at 100 pounds and was formerly in the employ of Fred Foster. He will probably arrive lo-dly_._ When Gold Bug had won the third race, aged and gray-haired James Hunter, the owner of the stocky little chestnut, ap- proached By Holly and begged him not to bid his horse up, as he was his sole depen- dent for support and he did not possess the necessary means to back him and pro- | tect the animal in case he received a boost. The bronzed horseman from Flosden walked away with his hands in his pockets and the old man considered his equine friend safe. But when the horse was put up to be sold' an outsider, acting for some one not sportsmen enough to do his own bidding, raised the horse’s price $400 over his entered figure on the programme. Through aid from some brother horsemen |the aged owner was able to retain his | racer. The act came in for condemnation on all sides, even the stable-boy extending his sympathy to Gold Bug's owner. The usual slaughter of favorites con- | tinued, every one on the card being de?ly | mired. The biggest surprise of the day was the victory of Rico, a 25 to 1 outsider, in the six-furlong hanaicap, who won cleverly with McIntyre up. The burly Don Pio Pico took the open- | ing event, a five-furlong dash for maiden two-year-olds, after getting away from the | post next to last. Starting second choice Peoples, who had the mount on him, gradually hewed his way through the bunch_and won by a nose from Cyrene, with Isabelle a fair third. The 7 to 6 choice Carrara, with Chevalier up, was never prominent from the start. Favory had no trouvle in disposing of the lot that lined up in the next race, a six and a half furfong dash, starting one of the second choices. He took the lead from Tamalpais entering the stretch, and won handily from Examiner. Johuny Payne, a 40 to 1 shot, was a good third. Red Will, the 2 to 1 favorite, finished in fourth place, ridden by Chevalier. Jack Atkins’ good filly Belle Boyd was an even~monei chance for the third race, u five and a half furlong spin with light welter-weights up, but she proved a griev- ous disappointment. Chevalier accepted the worst of a poor start and she could never get to the front. Lloyd laid away with Gold Bug until the bend for home, when_ he cut loose and fairly walked in. In a drive Olivia, a 4 to 1 shot, beat Abi P, the third choice, hali & length for second place. The winner was backed down from 8to 314 to 1. The great dump of the day occurred in the six-furlong handicap. At post time it was 7 to 5 and take your choice between the Boots pair, Vinctor and Nebuchad- nezzar, and sturdy Royal Flush, with juicy quotations against the others. Silver Staie was away first when the flag fell and showed prominently in front up to the last furlong, when the field closed on her and the result looked in doubt. Royal Flush now gradually assumed command, and to all appearances had the field beat, when Mclntyre came fast on the outside the last seventy yards with Rico, and, catching Hinrichs on the first chance fast asleep, won by a length. Vnctor, :\]\\'n‘\i from the post last, finished a good third. The Blmwood stock farm’s Peter the Great opened favorite for the last race, a mile selling dash, but gave way in the betting to Fred Gardner, who was backed down to even money from 8 to 5. The race, however, was onlr a mild gallop for Peter, who won as he liked, two_lengths before the favorite, in 1:423{. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

A CHINESE INSPEOTOR NOW. Ex-Assistant United States District At- torney Charles Weller Appointed. Charles L. Weller, ex-assistant United States District Attorney and candidate at the last election for the Superior bench, was notified this morning that he had been appointed a special Chinese inspector under Collector Wise. The guestion of landing Chinese has taken up nearly all of Mr. Wise’s time, and for the last eight months he has been attempting to secure the appointment of an attorney who could attend to the legal end of the business and at the same time act as an inspector in ex- amining the cases which arrive on every steamer. 5 Mr. Weller’s commission will probably arrive to-day, and he will assume his new duties next week. As soon as he is thor- oughly éénversant with the routine of the work, he will probably examine all the Chinese on the steamers instead of the Collector. 5k A number of appeals from the decisions of Collector Wise have been taken to the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Collee- tor’s reasons for retusinf a landing to the Chinese will be put in legal form by Mr. Weller.

Itisto be 1}4 miles— three-quarters of a mile and turn. In the senior barge race, the South Ends, Pioneers and Sacramentos can al- ready be counted upon. The Stocktons are doubtful, owing to the illness of Bert Lyons Smw}, .and the protest entered against David C. Creanor (stmke}, who is said to be a professional baseball pitcher and rifle shot. The Olympics and Acmes 1cay not be able to have their new barges finished in time. rt McArthur, cap- tain of the Olympics and their stroke, will act as captain and forward waist of the South Ends, of which organization he is also a member.

Secretary Mead of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association has sent the following card to the members: It has just been brought to our attention that & person or persons are calling upon our members goliciting money for the psyment of the insertion of their name in a directory of some sort, and saying that they represent the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ iation. Please notice that we have no person collecting money for any purpose for this association, excepting our regular collectors collecting the dues of the members, and such persons carry written authority from us for urpose. As yet we have no one soliciting advertise- ments, and we would thank our members to notify us fmmediately by telephone or wire when they are so approached, so that we can take proper steps to protect them. The secretary states that the persons have been charging members of the asso- ciation $1 for each name to be placed in an alleged directory. He has learned that several members have been d_n'g:d by the unlicensed use of the association’s name, and the belief is that the men are im- postors and have no directory except in their minds. e Mrs. Gift Divorced. Mrs. Suda M. Gift obtained a divorce from Monroe E.Gift in Judge Daiugerfield’s court esterday.

That Proposition in Practical Politics Offered to E. L. Colnon. The Harbor Commissioner Will Be Asked to Name the Man Who Made It. The Grand Jury held another session yesterday and considered fully a communi- cation from the Civic Federation respect- ing the proposition in practical politics made recently to Harbor Commissioner Colnon. An interview published in Tre CaLL of August 20 reported the Harbor Commis- sioner as saying to the reporter: In regard to San Francisco Yomlu T may say that I might have formed alliances with local politicians, but I did not. Some of these poli- ticians came to me with propositions purely financial in their nature. In one of these propositions I will say that the cool nng(emon ‘was made that there would be as much as $400 a month on one appoint- ment. Of course, not wlshlns to do practical politics on this basis, I refused to entertain any such a proposition. Iimmediately went to Dr. Morse of the Board of Health and warned him to be very careful in the matter of appointments, as I had been ap- roached on the subject as above stated. Dr. orse can tell you more about the matter. I was approached in other matters and solicited to engage in “practical polities” in another appointment—an important appoint- ment under the Board of Health—where the sum of §1000 a month was represented as the profits if I could control and secure the ap- roln!ment for the person desired. Dr. Wil- {amson will bear me out also in my statement a8 to warning the Board of Health. The Civic Federation directed the atten- tion of the Grand Jury to the interview from which the foregoing paracraphs are copied and requested an investigation be made. i3 3 It is ascertained that a special meeting of the Grand Jury will be heid next Mondav, and at that time Harbor Commissioner Colnon will be asked to name the persons who made to him the propositions in “practical politics.” THE ZOUAVES DISBAND. ‘They Will Not Comply With the Condi- tions Imposed by the Gov- ernor’s Manifesto. The French Zouaves met for the last time on August 27, and each man turned in his uniform and arms. The company has gone out of existence, for it will not continue under the conditions which Gov- ernor Budd’s recent manifesto imposes. The decision was taken ai the meeting in question and was unanimous. It is only the military branch of the society, however, which has disbanded; the be- nevolent institution is still in existence and bids fair to live long. The Zouaves were organized as a military eomunv in May, 1870. In February, 1877, the evolent organization was formed, with the camm as its basis, and the in- stitution has a strong one in French circles of San Francisco for many years. The list of those who have commanded the Zouaves comprises: E. R. Lavigne, Voisard, F. Haffer, I. Bine, J. tes, J. Peyre, A. P. Bellue, J. Dalnimnpu and L. Rignaud. The officers who were with the eomg:niwhcn it dis- ed were: Captain ignaud, First Lieutenant H. Pucheu, Second Lieutenant Z. Lonstalat, Adjutant J. Desechamps, Sergeant-major P. Largenti; color ser- geants, A. Vallon and M. Andiclion; quartermaster sergeant, A. Laplace; ser- nts, E. Montanban, J. Matluron, harles Mazeris and T. Menein; corporals, L. Borel, P, Pouquette, L. Lacrampe an J. Andiclion; cantiniere, Rosine Borel; guidon, A, Cosseron. These officers were elected September 2 last. ———————— The citizens of Meadville, Pa., celebrated last week the seventieth anniversary of Lafayette’s visit to that town.
