Very few steetheads have been caught so far by means of bait-fishing. The roe is good only as a lure for the capture of hardmouths and pike, both of which are very plentiful in the river. The steelhead is taken by trolling.

Mr. Watt has also some very excellently dressed red flies which he expects will act as good tempters of fishes when baited with £hrimp. The chief of the fish patrol, Mr. Bab- cock, caught a 12-pound steelhead last Sunday near Duncans Mills. Among the anglers who made good catches were A. Wilson, McFarland, McGreggor broth- ers. A. McMillan, Mr. Cox and G. Duncan. According to a letter received at this oflicé yesterday Deputies Wiison and Cross made a prospecting trip to the mouth of the Russian River Wednesday morning and caught two large nets, but failed to land the fishermen, who ran like deer the moment they saw the officers ap- proaching. The nets contained a large | number of steelheads, that were returned to the water. The deputies now propose tocamp in the vicinity of the place where | illegal fishing has been carried on, and the arrest of some of the law-breakers is certain to follow. Recent intelligence from Oakland states that John Gallagher, the champion angler of that city, hooked a sturgeon off the Long Bridge a few days ago and landed it after a fight which lasted six and a quarter hours, Q i 5 W. A. Tiley, a railway mail service clerk, went to Duncans Mills Wednesday moriing, and returned Thursday evening with four fine S-pound steelheads and forty-three hardmouths. Mr. Tilley had no trouble in giving the steetheads away {o his friends, but when he attempted to dispose of the hardmouths he failed badly. He eventually had to hire a boy to !flke‘ them to the dumps. They ranged in size | from twelve to twenty inches in length and almost filled an ordinary potato sack. On his return he remarked that had he known they were not good to eat he could Yiave easily brought down a few more sahnon. .

In Clear Lake ihe carp are so numerous that the inhabitants talk of importing sea-lions to destroy them.

Thousands Entered Russian River When the Bar Broke. Recent reports from the Russian River were to the effect that thousands of steel- heads were congregated below the sand- bar waiting for an opportunity to run up the river to spawn. It was necessary for a heavy rain to wash out the bar before these | fish could reach their favorite spawning grounds, Yesterday the information was received that recent rains had broken the bar and thousands of fish are running to the headwaters of the stream. As may be supposed illegal fishermen at once made efforts to secure a haul of fish before the run was over, Upon this subject Deputy Wilson makes the following brief report: DUNCANS MILLS, Cal., Dec. 19. Tothe State Board of Fish Commissioners—GEN- TLEMEN: The mouth of the river was opened yesterday morning, and the fish came by the thousands. I wentdown the river after dark | and stayed all might.

These magnificent fish were recently beguiled from the clear | waters of Lake Crescent by Rear-Admiral L. A. Beardslee, commander of the Pacific Coast squadron. Admiral Beardslee ar- rived in this port on the flagship Phila- delphia, and while the big guns of the man-of-war were hurling death-dealing missilesatan inoffensive target the admiral, in company with M. J. Carrigan, secretary of the Port Angeles Board of Trade, drove | to Lake Crescent, where they spent two HE WAS HARD TO SHAKE Tenacity at 40 to 1 Won in a Rattling Drive From Highland.

So perfect is the drainage system of the course at Ingleside that by a casual glance at the track yesterday afternoon one would bardly suppose that thE fatt it salloniin | Zoolein, who demonstrated a coming re- torrents the previous night. Floats were run over the track during the forenoon, which left the surface bard and dry, though as a matter of course the going was heavy, precluding fast time. The racing was excellent; far above the average. Butsome way or other the out- siders in the betting will insist on ming- ling with the favorites, much to the dis- gust and sorrow of the talent. After Bueno, a backed good thing from the El Primero, had taken the opening race every other first choice on the card was downed. Probably the hardest knock the crowd | received occurred on the third race with but five starters. The distance was a mile, | and Barney Schreiber's mare, Highland, carrying but 99 pounds, opened a 6 to 5 fa- vorite. Theglungers, however,ell figured the two- year-old Ramiro with ninety-two pounds up a ‘“pipe,” and the big coin cut his odds from 8 to 5 down to a 6 to 5 favorite, the Schreiber entry receding in the betting to 9 to 5. Roma, Miss Maxim and Tenacity commanded slight support, although a few straigling bets did cut the odds against the latter from 40 to 30 to 1. ‘When the flag fell Highland was away in front,; but the second flag was a bit dilatory in dropping, and Slaughter pulled y slighly, which lost him the lead. Miss axim then went out in front, showing first until nearing the half, where Isom had worked Kamiro into the lead. Strik- ing the stretch the field was well bunched, the favorite leading Highland a head, with Miss Maxim but a length away, a head be- fore Tenacity. - Less than a furlong from the wire High- land had the two-year-old favorite beaten, but Slaughter apparently did not realize that Tenacity was dangerously close to him on the outside. Garner kept diligent- Iy at work on the latter and, getting up on even terms, the two boys indulged in a rattling drive home, Garner, on the out- sider getting the verdict by the shortest of heads. Ramiro, who hung on gamely, was but half a length away. There was a joyous shout from the group of bookies watching the race, for the outsider’s win meant thousands of dollars to them. In the opening race at six_ furlongs Bueno was_backed from fives down toa 21% to 1 favorite, and in a hard drive through the stretch beat W. L. Munson, the second choice, out a nose on the wire. turn to form, was third. x In the one and a quarter miles selling event Cadmus was looked upon in the nature of a cinch, and 7 to 10 about him was eagerly accepted. The balance of the betting done was chiefly contfined to pick- ing a place horse, with Julia O the fayorite for that position. When the field was sent away Silverado galloped in front for nearly six furlongs, when Garner, who had been running second with Julia O, shot to the front with his mount., and Martin, on Cadmus, moved into second position. The favorite was hard ridden to the wire, but could not catch Honig's mare, who won cleverly by a length and & half in 2:16. Trix was third. The Macdonough entry, imp. Miss Brummel, was backed from 9 to 10to 7 to 10 to pull off the two-year-old run over six furlongs, but the best she could do was to finish second to Kowalsky, who was away first and won romping. The last race at seven furlongs ended in another bad upset. Foremost and Circe carried most of the coin, each going to the post 11 to 5.

In case the day is fine and the ground in good condi- tion the Olympics, according to Prophet Kennedy, a well-known autharity on base- days in quest of the speckled beauties for which the lake is famed. The admiral is an expert authority on fishing, and his big catches in Eastern waters have often been the subject of com- ment in the sportsmen’s journals. But in forty years of fishing in the East, Europe and California he failed to recall a single instance of such wonderful luck in trout- fishing as was experienced during those two days at Lake Crescent. A few experiments at the lake proved that a hook with a narrow copper spoon was the most alluring bait, and with their lines trailing behind a rowboat, the admiral and Mr. Carrigan proceeded to troll. The first fish caught was an ‘‘aye- opener”’ for the admirai. It pulled likea whale and fought savagely for its liberty before it was lznded in the bottom of the boat. It measured 323 inches in length, 734 inches through and weighed 103 pounds, The admiral pronounced this beautiful specimen of trout a genuine blueback, and the now thoroughly excited fishermen re- newed their trolling, with the result that the second blueback was even larger than the first, a veritable monster weighing 11)4 and measuring 28} incbes in length and 8 inches through. The weifiht and size of the others caught were as follows: Eleven pounds, length 28 inches, deptn 83{ inches; 11 pounds, length 2814 inches, depth 8 inches; 6 pounds, length 2237 inches, depth 7 inches; 10%1 pounds, length 314 inches, depth 7 inches. The 604 pounds of fish represented by these monster trout was by no means the entire catch for the two days, as the ad- miral and Mr. Carrigan returned to Port Angeles with a string of smaller trout which wouid have more than satisfied fish- ermen blessed with ordinary luck. The surroundings of Lake Crescent are as much entitled to comment as the fish in its waters. It has heretofore been known as the best point for trout-fishing in the State, vet Admiral Beardslee’s success will add greatly to its fame. pfae - L o Disastrous Failure! ‘We can mention no failure more disastrons than that of physical energy.

Young Garner was in great form yester- day. He brought in three winners, includ- ing the 40 to 1 shot, Tenacity. Dan Honig certainly made no mistake when he got nold of Red John and this promising youth. ‘While at the post in the third heat High- land was the recipient from Roma of a resounding kick in the off hind leg, but it did not appear to affect her running quali- ties. . The well-known horseman Frank Phil- lips, is certainly experiencing a spell of iil Iuck. In poth of Oakley’s races he was the favorite. and was undoubtedly far and away the best horse, but unlooked-for cir- cumstances beat him in both. In the first race yesterday W. L. Munson, after stand- ing a'drive for fully half a mile, was beaten outanose on the wire. Truly the fates are sometimes cruel. Sam Doggett rode W. L. Munson and Pittsburg Phil went down the line on him. Macklin put up one of his good rides on Bueno or the race would have been Mun- son’s. Riley Grannan kept the different book- makers’ cashiers busy for a while paying him his Julia O tickets, but dumped most of it back again on Ramiro. George Wheelock was another that re- garded Ramiro a little oil out of the can, and found time to_get down off the block and bet $3000 on him. Hughes & Co. wrote one ticket of $1600 against a $1000 on the Baldwin colt. About the only man in the ring that made any sort of a killing over the Tena- city race was Johnny Coleman.. Johnn laid against tne other starters in his boo! and backed him to some extent on the outside, the little deal netting him about $4000. The attraction of this afternoon’s racing card is the Haggin stakes for two-year-olds at seven furlongs, worth $1500 to the win- ner. There is a splendid field of starters, including such good performers as Kam- sin, Can’t Dance, Caliente, Sallie Clicquot, Belle Boyd and Sir Play. The well-know= capitalist and admirer of the turf, Colonel P. A. Finnegan, is now a stockholder in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, having purchased a block of the stock yesterday. Colonel Finnegan’s name is fa; ar to all California horsemen, he having at one time held the position of president of the Pacific Coast Blood-horse Association, and some years back occupied the same office in the State Agricultural Society. To all appearances Fred Gardner was not backed to any extent at the track, but as his people were very anxious that Tod Sloan should ride him it is more than likely that some of the poolrooms were aware of the fact that he was a starter in the race.

George E. White was before Judge Hebbard yesterday on an order to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court for transierring some of his property under at- tachment to outside parties. The particular bit of property was a mortgage whicn he held and transierred to the Bank of Ukiah. There are many other charges of the same na- ture pending against him, each involving a particular piece of property, and so_the order 0 show cause as tried was submitted until all the other cases could be tried. Then all will be decided together. ————————— Over Patents in Door-Openers. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday the patent infringement case of George Risch- muller against David McWhirter and William Leavens was argued. The parties to the suits are inventors of the patent door-opening de- vices much used in flats. All Rischmuller asks for is $1 damages and a decree declaring that he was the original patentee. TROLLEY CARS AND PILLS, From the Evening News, Newark, N. J. decidedly pretty brunette, v-six years old, tall, aud & pleasant con- versationalist. On the ground floor of her res- idence she conducts a well-ordered candy store. When our reporter visited her store, she in response to & question told him a very interesting story. “Until about two months ago,” she began, “I enjoyed the very best of health and could work nignt and day it necessary. Suddenly, and without any apparent cause,I began to suffer from intense pains in my head, in my limbs and temples. Almost distracted with this seemingly never ending pain, I tried cure after cure, prescription after preseription and almost a gallon of medicine of all kinds. Nothing did me any good. In fact I became worse. The knuckles of my hands soon became cramped and the pain in my hips became more and more distressing each day. Busi- ness in the store to be attended to, however, and so I was obliged, suffering as I was, to keep more or less on my feet and_occasionaily I was forced to goout. This was the ordeal I dreaded. Each timeI went out I trembled when I went near the car tracks, for my pain at times was so severe that I was obliged to stand perfectly still, no matter where I was, On one occasion I was seized in this way while I was crossing the tracks on Market street, and there I stood perfectly rigid, unable to move hand or foot, while a trolley-car came thundering along. For- tunately, it was stopped before it struck me, but the dread of it all lasted as long asmy pain, tor I never knew, when crossing the tracks, whether I would not arop to the ground in my agony and be crushed to death. My anxiety to get well grew apace, and I had about given up in despair when Isaw in the Lveni f News one day an advertisement of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Here was something I hadn’t tried before, and I lost no time in getting to the mnearest drugstore. There I paid 50 cents for a box of these truly wonderful, health-restoring pills. Before T had finished taking halfi of the pills I begen to feel relieved; the pains in my hips gradually disappearea, aud for the first time in many days felt as if there was some hope. I continued to take the gilh, and the more I took the better I felt. I nished one box, got another and now have taken only a few of the second fifty cents’ worth, I am free {rom all pain and as happy as the day is long. Since I began to take Dr. Williams’” Pink Pills I have gained thirt; ounds, and now when I cross the car tr-ckx{ on’t care if there is a dozen vehicles near by. It is a great relief, I assure you, and suffering humanity has a never-failing friend in Dr. Wiiliams'’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I know :htnun talking about. I speak from expe- ence.”” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain.in a con- densed form, all the elements necessary to give nevw life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
