There are two very good reasons why | the wheelmen will stay in town to-morrow. In the first place the rains of the past week have made the roads very sticky and prac- unridable. Again, the mdoor | urnament now in progress at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion is snch a strong attrac- tion that proba all the cyelists will congregate there this afternoon and even- ing and to-morrow. The success of the Pavilion meet thus far is phenomenal. It is said that there more people present the opening , Thursday, than attended the show ast year for the entire week, and last crowd was fully as large. Every seat in the house was sold in advance, and the people packed the galleries, aistes and every available space where a view of the races couid ad. On account of the number of fast prof es- 1 riders in n, it is probable that er Wikidel will add several events or them to the programme for to-morrow | afternoon an ening.

W Member of the Netfonal Racing It has been learned that there has been quite a change down south regarding these teams. The Sy se team at Coronado has disbanded. Wells and Terrill are here | competing at the indoor tournament, Me- | Crea has returned to Los Angeles, Hamil- | ton is going back to Denver, the quad | team will separate, and Manager Shafer is | ng to Syracuse. The sextuplet used by | the team for record-breaking is now on its way here and will be seen at the show next week. The Stearns team, now at Santa Monica, | will leave there to-day and try the track at | San Diego just vacated by the Syracuse people. Being a mile dirt_ track it is deemed better for record trials than the | three-lap cement affair at Santa Monica. Do not lend your bicycle. Once get your wheel aajusted to snit your own peculiar make-up, and then don't letany one else | e it. If youdo you will get it back w { saadle-post “‘raised just a trifle’’ or the | little bit lower.” Perhaps th handle-bar your friend will have found the chain too | loose, or the bearings not quite as. he | thinks they ought to be. At any rate, | nine times out of ten the borrower will | take liberties he wouldn’t think of doing with a rented wheel. As Goddard would | say, “Verbum sap.” The Bicycle Protective Association met Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, but no important business was transacted. It was resolved to support the Pavilion toar- | and quickness which made his presence | | 6,000,000 miles of macadamized road could | is composed of four chains side b OF SPORT. re Doing. haul as much as three horses can haul | over the average dirt road of this country. It is estimated that it would be necessary to build about 1,000,000 miles of macad- amized road in the United States in order | to have as good a system of public high- | ways as is found 1in several European States. At $4000 per mile this would - volve an outlay of $4,000,€00,000, a pretty their delegate will be warmly welcomed, | and he is thinking of deposing a certain { committee chairman, who is not as active in his work for the league as he should be, and appointing the Alpha’s delegate in his stead. \ g The economical advantage of belonging to the league is evidenced every night at the anifion tournament, when leagzue members, by presenting their membership cards, are admitted at half price. It only cosis $1 a year to belong to the league and any one attending the cycle show every night saves $1 75. SPALDING. LR ROD AND REEL. glers Are Getting Ready for the Opening of the Season. A dispatch was received last Wednesday An large sum of money. : But if a half of the draughtanimals | could e dispensed with by the building of such roads there would be an annual | saving of $768,000,000 in the feed bill.

Consequently, if road bonds were issued The dispatch did not say whether the W. W.

The people are actually paying 3 per cent on $26,000,000,000 in order to keep up the present bad roads, while it would not cost them a sixth of thatsum annually to build the 1,000,000 miles needed in_order to put this country on a par_with France iu the matter of good roads. W. W. Needham of the Olympic Club Wheelmen has taken to the track again | after a rest of two years and is riding nightly at the indoor tournament. Need- ham was a prominent racer of the Garden | City Cyclers some years ago before he came to this City and has lost none of his old-time speed. The Barnes people are now constructing at Syracuse a ten-seated machine, to be called a “double quint.”’ The frame will have two top bars and three lower one: and will easily hold four times the weight ie, put together with long rivets, making it practically a link beit. The chain is con- tinuous, and the rear sprocket-wk is built to siand the strain. The machine will be ridden for the first time at the L. | A. 'W. National meet a: Louisville next | sumiuer. Last Sunday afternoon the following ladies and gentlemen organized them- selves into a bicycle club, the name of which has not. yet been chosen, anc elected as officers: Mrs. H. Allen, captain; J. C. Wilder, president; Mrs. A. S. Rhorer, secretary; Van Dyke, se arms; the other members being: Mr. and Mrs. William J. O'Brien, Mr. and Mrs, R. S. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilder. On Sunday, March 8, the club will have a | run to Haywards. Nowsdays you see little of the bow- backed scorcher. He seems to have dropped out of existence with the silence ant-at- | steelheads were small or large, but it is presumed that the run was made up of large fish. A few local anglers took passage for the happy casting ground just as soon as the news arrived here, but nothing in the way of news has been received since their de- parture. Possibly the steelheads have de- parted from the big tidewater pools tothe | spawning beas up stream. Anyhow, itis | a well-established fact that the breeding | fishes which su ddenly make their appear- | ance in the brackish waters of the Paper- | mill Creek during weekdays are genemlly conspicuous by their absence on Sundays, when the army of bait and spoon casters from this City put in an appearance. It will not be many weeks when the angler who firmly believes that protection to the breeding fishes means good sport to all lovers of the pastime during the spring nd summer months will have an.oppor- tunity of whipping old and favorite waters. The first of April is not very far off and n that great “all fools’” occasion there will be a happy meeting of old friends on the verdant banks of streams and creeks which, for many seasons, have been the stamping grounds of a fraternity whose | love for angling seems to be innate. | In April the trees will be in full bloom |and the sweet odor of divers wild flowers | will add materially to the enjoyment | lovers of the quiet and pleasurable art of trout-catching will derive from an outing | in the mountains. It is hardly to be expected that the | anglers who cling tenaciousiy to fly-fish- | ing as being the only true and sportsman- | like manner of catching trout will enjoy good success during April. Possibly,” if fine weather continues, fly-casting may prove tolerably successful, but generzlly | speaking the worm, roe or spoon will ac- | complish the desired end, which means a good basket of fish. of the ten men who will ride it.

It is a very good plan to occasionally turh one's bicycle upside down and care- fully examine the outside of the tires. Very often there will be noticed small cuts in which grit or little fragments of stone may be embedded. The cuts should be cleaned out with a pointed piece of stick, a little solution inserted and when the lat- ter is dry the cut closed up. An operation of this kind will take, perbaps, half an hour once a month, and in return the tires are rendered much more reliable and much less likely to receive damage. R. C.

The cknsus returns show that there are in the United States about 15,000,000 horses, over 2,000,000 mules and 49,000 asses. The cost of food forthese animalsis about$1,576,- 000,000.

The bicycle stoop was regretted from the moment it was mtroduced. You no longer see, very seldom at least, wheelmen shooting along the cowntry roads with heads bent over the handle bars, their tongues almost pro- truding for want of moisture, and a gen- eral lack of freshness and comfort about them that should not be noticed about any wheelman. Low handie bars have seen their best day. In this age the rider wants to sit upright to appreciate the beauties of cycling. He wishes to gaze about him, admire the scenery and feel that wheeling is doing him some good. The applications of twenty members of the Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club for mem- bership in the i.eague of American W heel- ment were sent East by Secretary-Treas- urer Scovern yesterday. This being 75 per cent of the ciub’s membership it thereby becomes a league club and is entitled ito send a representative to the board of offi- cers, a_condition which has never hap- ened in any division of the league be- ore. Chief Consul Kerrigan says that | 'According to the present outlook the | streams which promise to pan out best are | within close proximity of the San Fran- | cisco and North Pacific Coast Railroad. The Pieta, Sulphur and some other creeks | in the vianity of Cloverdale should yield | good messes of trout during the opening | days of the season. It is doubtful if the | once famous Paper-mill and Lagunitas | creexs will prove worthy of much atten- | tion this year cwing to the long spell of dry weather, which kept the streams low, and thereby prevented the breeding fishes | from reaching their spawning beds. As previously stated in THE CaLy, the | Fish Commissioners should give more at- tention to the stocking of streams that are extensively fished during tH® open season. When the La Motte fish hatchery was stationed on Sonoma Creek, above the town of Glen Ellen, that stream was un- questionably noted for its excellent trout- nshing; put of late years it has received a | black eye because of 1ts scarcity of fishes. | Streams within near reach of this City re- guire stocking annualiy, and when the ‘ish Commissioners will give the creeks that are yearly becoming worse some a tentiongthe angling fraternity will not fail to ugpnciata the work that is being done in their behalf. 1t is said that a part of Los Gatos Creek will be dammed this, vear, so as to give gicnicken an .opportunity of enjoying oat-rowing, An angler writes to the lgorflng editor to know if the owners of the pleasure park propose puttingin a fish- ladder in the proposed dam. Possibly the Fish Commissioners can answer the ques- tion. An exchange recently published the fol- lowing: The most curious creature of tie worm family is the diplozoon, a singular parasite which infests the gills of several ;Paciex of fish, particularly the bream. lach individual diplozoon has two dis- tinct bodies, united in the middle so as to form a perfect St. Andrew's cross, each balf of the creature containing precisely the same kind of organs, viz.: an alimen- tary canal, a venous system, reproductive organs, etc. . i Le Fly-casting Club will hold its sec- ond meeting at the Olympic Club in a few days. In all probability the casting tour- nament will be held in Sutro’s baths. The lake in which the boats used in shooting the chutes dash into was suggested, but it is hardly possible that the the contests will be held there, —— THE OARSMEN. Ladles of the Pioneer Club Who Practice on Sunday Mornings. The recent Lake Merritt regatta has warmed the oarsmen upto their sport -considerably, and, although no regattas are set for the immediate future, the various boat clubs are already at work developing material that will form the nucleus of this season’s racing cre®s. The main ambition of the local clubs seems to be to lower the colors of the South End senior barge oarsmen, who have been victorious in every race tbey entered. : Their easy defeat of the University crew in the Lake Merritt regatta stamps them as the finest four-oared barge crew ever turned out on this coast. 2 The crew is under the captaincy of Robert MacArthur, the well-known ath- lete, and the South End Club is ready to back it against any crew on the coast, the Pioneers preferred. b The Bob Cook stroke, which is used by the University crew, is pronounced in- ferior to the long, swinging stroke of the South End crew. The University boys are by no means discouraged over their defeat, but say they have gained much from_the racein the way of pointers on their boat and their stroke. ) The winners of the various events in the Lake Merritt regatta have been presented with their prizes, which are beautiful watches and which were well worth the effort made to win them. On Tuesday evening, April 7, the Ariel Boating and Swimminy Club will hold an entertainment and dance at Union-square Hall. The Ariels have been making ‘consider- able improvements in their boathouse. An addition has been built on the side for the accommodation of the Whitehalls, and the interior of the house is embel- lished with large portraits of renowned oarsmen. Several members of the club are becom- ing yachting enthusiasts, and there is a rumor afloat that the club intends to form a yachting annex. The Dolphins are determined to make a showing in the next regatta. They are offering every inducement for the stroung- alrmed pullers of North Beach to join their club. James B. Keenan has vresented the club with a handsome club flag, and Mr. Lothin will donate to it an extremely large American flag. J. Marron, G. Sullivan, Fred Woerner, ‘W. 0. Patch and J. Cronin will represent the Dolphins in the junior contests of the coming regatta. The swimming race between Mr. von Hadlen and Jack Kirby, both of the Dolphins, is now off, as Mr. Kirby is in Sacramento and obtained a six months’ leave of absence. The Pioneer Club has purchased the barge, J. R. McDonald, the property of some club members, and intends to fit it up for the bloomer crew. The bloomer crew are improving won- derfully, and are already able to give some ot the crews that spin along Long Bridge Sunday mornings a lively brush. The girls go out every Sunday, and it matters little to them whether they row nlnng the calm inshore waters or the more E.mx lesome waters of the center of the ¥ heee e THE RIFLE. Clubs That WIIl Be Represented at the Ranges To-Morrow. There is an interesting programme of events billed for to-morrow at the Shell Mound range. The San Francisco Schuet- zen Verein and the Germania Schuetzen Club will hold their regular medal shoots. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club will hold its semi-monthly medal and prize contests with pistols, revolvers: and rifles. The monthly medal shoot of the Inde- pendent Rifles will aiso take place. Com- panies A, M, F and K will send out their marksmen for practice, and the Nationals (Companies C and G) will hold their regu- lar monthly class shooting. One of the rincipal events will be_the monthly Eul)seye shoot of the Nord-Deutscher Schuetzen Verein, at which event it will be aecided who has won the beautiful medal presented by Captain L. Siebe, the proprietor of the range. The medal will go to the sharpshooter making the three best bullseyes during the twelve bullseye shoots of the club. A beautiful medal will be shot for by the San Francisco Schuetzen Veérein for the marksman making the most centers during the year. This medal will ‘be pre- sented by Huber Bros., proprietors of the Califernia Hall at 620 Bush street. The San Francisco and the Oakiand police are doing considerable nard practice at Shell Mound for the coming pistol match between picked teams from the two de- partments. At the recent election of officers of the Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club the fol- lowing were selected for the ensuing year: Fresident, George Alpers; vice-president, Ludwig Siebe; secretary, August Brune; treasurer, John Peters; shooting masters, John de Witt and E. Barruth. oy g7 T THE ATHLETES. Men In Training for Champlonship Games—The Seattle Club. A number of Olympic Club athletes who are infatuated with outdoor sport will visit the outdoor grounds to-morrow. The running paths are being placed in first-class condition for the sprinters, and Caretaker McIntyre expects to see the pretty park crowded with athletes during the spring days, training for games that will be held in tne near future. Latest intelligence from the Stanford University is to the effect that a strong team of athletes will be in the field this year to compete against the clubs of the Pacific Althletic Association in champion- nhif contests. The Berkeley University will not be found sleeping, asits athletes Ppropose to commence training just as soon a3 the cinder path will be ready to prac- tice on. The Reliance Club will. also have, some 2ood men who will compete under its col- ors. The president of the Seattle Athletic Club, who has been on a visit to this City, stated to Dr. Short, the leader of the Olym- pic Club, that in all probability a team of athletes and boxers from the Northwest will journey to this City and contestin the xing tournament and also the games held in May at the club’s grounds. Itis quite probable that some of the athletes from the Fresno and Los Angeles clubs will be among those who will con- test at the annual gfilmpkvmhi meeting. The following letter to THE CALL from the secretary of St. Mary’'s College Ath- letic Club oiy Oakland is udf-exgllnlwrn The election of officers of St. Mary's College Athletic Association was held last Tuesday evening. The following young gentlemen were elected for the ensuing term: ugh 8. Dimond, president; J. William Solen, vice-president; Joseph M. O’'Donnell, secretary; and Joseph L. Taafte, treasurer. The newly elected officers are men who have always taken an active interest in college athletics, and under their able supervision the spring field day to be held il May frpmiseu to be one of the most successful in the history of the associa- tion. ——— THE BOXERS. Sullivan May Referee the Sharkey and Greggains Contest.' On Thursday evening the second exhi- bition of the National Athletic Club will be held at the Bush-street Theater, and as the star event of the evening will be a brilliant affair, doubtless a large gathering of sport lovers will e present. In all probability the ereat John L. Sul- livan will be selected to referee the match. Both Sharkey and Greggains are well satisfied to have the Boston boy pass judg- ment on them when they have fnished their eight rounds. J. Ross Jackson, the president of the club, is sanguine that Thomas Shaikey. Greggains and Sharkey will put up the greatest fistic contest—that 1s, from a scientific point of view—that has been seen in this City in many years. Experts who have seen Sharkey punch- ing the bag say heis a terrific hitter and will surely put the fireman to sleep if he happens to land on the right spot. Greg- gains is as shifty on his pins as Corbett and will keep Sharkey guessing where and how he can place one of his favorite right-hand punches to produce effect. Following the main event of the evening Dal Hawkins and Phil McGoldrich will box eight rounds for a purse. The pro- ceeds of the evening will be given to the Children's Hospital. John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion heavy-weight pugilist, will arrive in this City to-day in the company of Paddy Ryan, the “old Trojan.”” Commencing on Monday the two popular men of puglistic fame will appear in a boxing exhibition at the Columbia Theater for one week only. Sullivan is said to be looking well and is very anxious to have an opportunity of shaking hands with his old friends, who are many in this City. Sullivan will always be looked upon by the sporting fraternity as the greatest fighter that ever stepped between ropes. For twelve years he held the champion- ship of the world against all comers. For twelve years he went about the country, not begging for a big purse o be put up: but offering $1000 to any man who would last four rounds with him. He was the idol of the sporting world, and that night when it was reported over the wires that the great Jobn L. had been conquered by James J. Corbett thousands of hearts were made sad. It istrue his profession was one which many condemn, but there were but few people in_the United States who rejoiced over the Boston boy’s defeat, for Sullivan was not alone: a fighter such as the world has seldom seen, but he fought for glory aud not for filthy lucre, and fought like a man. The money which he earned he gave away, but for iwelve years he lived like a prince, and then met defeat at the hands of a man who had the good fortune to win the title of champion, but who apparently lacked the courage to de- fend it, and gave it away to an alien. The following editorial on law-makers and prize-fighters recently appeared in the Chicago Chronicle: Somewhere down on the border line between o Alex Greggains. Texas and Mexico, where are lacking the two features absence of which is said to make sheol disagreeable—water and good society— several muscular persons hope publicly to oatter cach other into & comatose condition in the presence of several hundred other persons who have wagered moncy on the result. There won’t be a tithe of the money wagered that changes hands on a general election. Not half the blood will be shed in the “fistic arena” that is annually poured forth by colle- gians on tne day set aside by official proclama- tion as a fit season for giving thanks to God for all his mercies. Yet the likelihood that this entirely commonplace exhibition of man in the exercise of his brutal abilities only might be given on the soil of a United States Terri- tory has stirred the Congress of the United States to such a burst of statesmanlike zeal as never before has been manifested. A bill pro- hibiting grlze-flghung i the Territories]of the.United States passed both houses of Con- gress in one day and was dispatched to the President for his signature within forty-eight hours of its first suggestion. Suppose this measure had been a claim for just damages due & citizen from the National Government. The ghost of poor old “Billy” McGarrahan could testify that in such event it would %rob&blx drag along for decades. Sup- pose it had to do with reforming the currency system or the taxing system of the Govern- ment. Insuch event tho Senate would tack a free coinage amendment to it and thus weight- ed, it would sink down into oblivion. l’ow many years have been spent in the effort to get congressional action, pro or con, on topics of National or local importance! How inconsist- ent it is that the Congress which is utterly im- potent to enact laws for the relief of the treas- ury is instantly ready to legislate for the stoppage of a boxing match. he prize-fighters injure few people but themselves and injure ihemseives but little. The moral harm done indirectly by their ex- hibition of the concussionary force of the human fist does not greatly over-balance the benefit accomplished by their wide teaching of the doctrine that to have a sound body a regular life, abstinence from alcohol and a simple diet are mnecessary. Every Congress does the Nation more harm than a dozen “fistic_ tournaments.” The eagerness Qf the statesmen to stop this particular evil suggests that they desire to Compound for sins they are inclined to By damning those they have no mind to. A well-regulated prizefight has one merit which might well impressed upon Con- gress—the principals have to do something or quit. They can’t filibuster and they cannot set up a dummy between them to pound in- stead of pounding each other. It would be an exceedingly good thing if somebody could “‘nold the watch” on this do-nothing Congress and call time. In spite of the apparent decadence of ugilism in this country, there are strong indicatiors that it is not to become a lost art and sport so_readily as its_opponents desire. Pn the Massachuseits Legislature there was recently introduced a measure known as the anti-sport bill, which was designed to put a stop not only to boxing, but to all rough sports. The efféct has been to arouse strong opposition. At a hearing given by a legislative committee recently the weight of the testimony was greatly against the bill, and this was fol- lowed by a large protest, signed by some of Boston’s most influential citizens, against the passage of the measure. The position taken by them is that as between really scientific’ boxing and downright brutal pugilism there isa broad distinction. On the other hand, advocates of the bill contend that so long as boxing is permitted it is next to impossible to prevent prize- fights. The remarkable feature of the con- troversy is the unexpected strength which the friends of the ‘“‘manly art” have de- | veloped 1n a city where the strict prin- ciples of the Puritans are supposed still to prevail. 2% | FOOTBALL TO-DAY. Blue and Gold vs. Red and Gold at Central Park. Rain or shine the two teams of the Boys’ Brigade will meet to-day in their closing game of football for this season in Central Park.
