10 THE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing. Mabher, the Irish champion pugilist, will arrive to-day, and diplomats from the Oc cidental and Olympic clubs have been dis- patched to intercept him en route. The Olympic Club’s first boxing enter tainment will be held on the evening ot the 31st inst. in its gymnasium. The wheelmen are arranging for the bi; street parade, which promises to be one oi the most interesting wheeling events oi the season. Sportsmen will be scouring the hills and canyons to-morrow in quest of deer, as it will be the first Sunday of the open sea- son. The Btockton Rowing Association has been very successful in securing aguatic meetings. The tempting prizes offered induced the oarsmen of this City to for- sake home waters. Lovers of coursing, angling and other kindred sports are enjoying themselves in good style. e L THE WHEELMEN. Annual Picnic Run of the Asso- clated Cycling Clubs. Some observing man's discovered (How, I've never thonght L0 ask), That & Kentacky maiden’s bloomers Have a pockei for & flask; That the cycling girl of Texas As she rides is Dot afraid— She provides a pistol pocket When she has her bloomers made; That the bloomer girl of Boston, Always cool and wisely frowning Has a pocket In her bloomers W here she carries Robert Browning: Thagthe Daisy Bell of Kansas, Who has donned the cycling breeches, Has & pocket in her bloomers Fall of woman suftrage sp That Chicago’s wheeling woman, When her cycle makes rotations, Has a svecial bloomer pocket Where she carries pork quotations; That Milwaukee's cycling beauties, As they pedal day by day, Have a tiny secret pocket Where a corkscrew’s siowed away; That the Gotham bioomer aamsel, Whom Manhattan dudes admire, Bas a tutti-fratti pocket Full of gum to mend her tire. —Toledo Bee. But the San Francisco girl, we find (In perfect shape 8o rare), Keeps no pocket in her bloomers, For she has no room to spare. The annual picnic run of the California Associated Cycling Clubs is booked for to- morrow, and as the association numbers all the prominent clubs in this part of the State, the picnic will naturally at- tract most of the organized wheelmen. The destination is Coyote Point Beach, near San Mateo, a ride of about twenty- ‘one miles. The start will be made at 9 A. M. from Twenty-second and Folsom streets, at which point all the clubs, in- cluding the Oakland clubs, are requested to assemble. The Garden City and Moun- tain View cyclers will join the run at San Mateo. Each club is to provide lunch for its members, which will be transported to the grounds by the association if brought te the starting point not later than 7:30 o’clock Sundry morning. There is a commodious bathbouse at the beach, and a swim in the bay will be'one of the features of the trip. Lunch will be spread 1n & grove of trees, where liquid refreshments will also be served. The trip should be a very pleasant outing for the wheelmen, and as a diversity from the succession of road races we have had for the past two months, it is gladly welcomed. Last year the association picnic was held at Niles Canyon and as the arrangements for lunching the big crowd were inade- quate, many had to go without their noon- day repast, and altogether 1t was rather the picnic run to-morrow. The club beartily indorses the proposed parade of iext Saturday night, and Captain Barrow ‘xpects a large turnout. There will be a wembers’ meeting next Monday night and 4 whist party for members ednesday *vening, July 20. Straws show which way the wind blows, :nd the following taken from the secre- tary’s notice to members of the Imperial Club may have some significance as indi- cating that wheelmen will be a strong ctor in political fights this coming elec- ion, and will bend their energies toward e “cting the men who will most likely be fr endly to their interests: “If you wish 10 'ote at the coming election go to the Cit iail and register at once, as there re b 't a few more days in which you can gist'r. It is a duty you owe to yourself d t> your club that you vote at the on ing election and elect the men who wii. louk out for the interests of wheel- men.” R. M. Welch, member of the National Racing Board, has issued the following bulietin No. 18, dated July 17, 1896, as tollows: Ssnotions granted_—September 7, Capital City Cycling Club, Pheenix, Ariz. H. K.

M. WELCH, Member National Racing soard. The Bay City Wheelmen will attend the vicnic run to-morrow. Lunch will be pro- vided for the members by the club. Con- trary to expectations, the Bay Citys will | turn out en masse in the cycle parade next Saturday night. Not only wili they make a big showing as to men and wheels, but they will have a band of their own and introduce several special features. Presi- dent Kerrigan says if the club is going to turn cut at all it had better do so witha hearty spirit, and as this spirit is now being shown the Bay Citys will probably make a good showing. The California Cycling Club will be a big feature of the parade a week from to- day, and on account of its large member- ship Captain Mayo expects a great many in line. To-morrow the club goes on the association picnic. Saturday evening, Aungust 1, a smoker for members will be held at the clubbouse. The Outing Road Club will have a run to-morrow to Mill Valley under Captain Davis. Charles Albert Adams, president of the Olympic Club Wheelmen and the Camera Club Cyclists, was the lecturer before the California Camera Club last evening, his subject being *‘Picturesque Japan,’ 1llus- trated by about a hundred stereopticon views. It has been good many years since Mr. Adams ted Japan, but he was thoroughly familiar with his subject, and a large number of wheelmen present enjoyed xie entertsinment exceedinely. dwin E. Stoddard, of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen, who travels for the Cleveland people, started on a trip last night which will last abouta year and will carry him preity nearly all over the Americas. He left here for Mexico and will then journey through the Central American countries, down the west coast of South America, visiting Ecuador, Chile, Peru and other places, then up the east side, stopping at the three Guianas, Argentine Republic NAT BUTLER OF BOSTON, TWO-MILE L. A. W, CHAMPION. unsatisfactory. The preparations this year are more complete, therefore the run should be a big success. Tom and Nat Butler of Boston have been making a remarkable showing in the professional events in the East of late, winning the majority of the events in which they have started. Both will soon be on the National circuit, competing with Bald, Cooper,” Sanger, Ziegler, Gardiner and the other cracks, and many expect them to continue to prove the victors, Torn is small but compactly buiit, while Nat is above the average size, Nat Butler to-day holds the L. A. W. championship for two miles. and to win it had to beat Bald, Cooper, Kiser, Murphy and a lot of thecracks. Three members of the Outing Road Club recently scorched from Fruitvale in pretty fast time, as follows: N. Browsn, 2 hours 5 minutes; P. Anderson, 2 hours 9 minutes; A. Hoffman, 2 hours 20 minutes, About three-fourths of the members of the Out- ing Club have recentiy joined the League of American Wheelmen. 2 Sanfora Plummer of the "Bay City Wheelmen, official referee of the L. A. W., is quite ill at his home in this City. Plummer was not well about a week be- fore the Petaluma méet on July 4, and of- ficiated at that meet against the advice of his physician; he suffered a relapse and is now confined to his room and will not be about for a fortnight. “ The Olympic Club Wheelmen will at- tend the big picnic to-morrow, the club furnishing lunch for the members. The run will leave the club house at 8:30 A. M. and join the other clubs at the starting int, Twenty-second and Folsom streets. ‘homas G. Spillane is now acting captain, ‘Welter Fawcett being at Sacramento in connection with the indoor tournament to be beld there next week. % Byron D. Bent of the Bay City Wheel- men has returned from a trip a-wheel to Les Angeles, Catalina Island and other ints of interest in the south, whn\re he E:d a most delightful time. and Brazil, and by the time he reaches North America again he will probably be more fluent in Spanish than in English. Stoddard jokingly remarked as he left the Bay City clubhouse for the last time yes- terday that he might find some crack rider down in Patagonia who would be eligible for the Bay City’s 1897 relay team, and if s0 h; would try and induce him to come north. The Marysville Appeal recently pub- lished an eight-page bicycle ediuon.p It was filled with cuts and matter of epecial interest to wheelmen. Beveral local cy- clists contributed articles concerning per- sonal experiences with the wheel and al- together it was quite a creditable and interesting number. The Eintracht Cyclers will havea run to-morrow to Haywards, leaving the club at 9 A. M., under Captain H. C. Frank. The Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland have issued the follow.ng postal to mem- bers: “On Saturaay evening, July 18, there wiil be a jubilee smoker to celebrate the winningof the Baker & Hamilton cup last Sunday, in the most hotly conteated race ever seen on the coast, when the Acme riders plucked victorv from almost certain defeat by tneir hard ridine. The cup will be on hand and all must come to do it honor.” The cup was presented to the winning team at a banquet tendered them by James M. Hamilton Thursday evening at Tortoni’s. at which the five men of the team, C;ruin Swain of the Acme Club, James M. Hamilton, George F. Neece, F. L. H. Noble, M. C. Allen, J. 8. Conwell, F. H. Kerrigan, V. A. Dodd, R. James J'gce Jr., J. F. Hancock, H. F. Wynne, C. N. Ravlin and R. A. Smyth were present. % The Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club desire it stated that they wili not lead the cycle parade next S-tmd-g night, nor take any active part in it. Oaptain Mahony says that they would like to see better streets and the park lighted well enough, but they have been accustomed to leaving The Imperial Cycling Club will attend | such movements to the men in the past, ~ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1896 Frank Lacost of the Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club Is Credited With Having Killed on Wednesday Last the Largest Buck That Has Ever Been Bagged in the Preserve. and will do s0 now. as theirs is a strictly touring club, and they would not care to take part in such a demonstration. To-morrow, Captain Mahony, Mrs. H. F. Wynne, Miss Rita Mahony and Miss Lena Egeberg of the Alphas will endeavor toride a century around the bay in less | than ten hours. They accomplished such a trip in eleven hours several weeks ago. The start will be made to-morrow morning at4 o'clock from Tenth and Market streets, and they will lollow the relay course to San Jose, finishing in Alameda about 2in the afternoon. SeaLpING. R GUN AND DOG. About the Deer-Shooting Season and the Hunters. Bportsmen are now taking advantage of the opportunities offered in some of the counties of this State for deer-shooting. The Supervisors of some counties have shortened the season because of the scar- city of deeriin the localities where they reside. Generally speaking, it can safely besaid that a sportsman who will shoot at and kill a deer for the pleasure of the sport in a county where the Supervisors have cat off the open season altogether will not be molested, because there is no general cb- jection on the partof the Supervisors of any county to prevent any person from | killing one or two deer occasionally. The object of a close season is princi- | pally to protect the deer from extermina- tion and it is a good law. The sporting editor of THE CALL, in an interview with a promineyt member of | the Ukiah Sportsman’'s Club, learned that | the Supervisors of Mendocino County had shut down upon an open season because of the rapid slaughter of deer, both male and female, by professional hunters. The sportsman did not hesitate to ssy in answer to & question thatany man who shoots a deer for his own privale use in Mendocino County will not be molested, | and if he should happen to be arrested by some *“‘fresu’’ constabie for having venison in his possession, his acquittal would be certain to follow, as there is not a Judge or jury in the county that would be in favor of punishing him. Some of the members of the Country Club had good success on the opening day of tne season. William Kittle got one splendid buck and another member brought down a buck vesterday. A letter written at Inverness, a pleasure resort near Tomales Bay, to the sporting editor, states that on the 14th inst. keepars of the Country Club went outside of their juris- diction and ran their dogs through ihe | canyons near Inverness with the inten- tion of driving the deer into the club demesne. If this report is true the club | should bring the keepers to task. The sportsmen of the Tamalpais Club had excellent sport on the 15th inst. A party, composed of Johnny Bergez, Wil- liam Berg, J. Carrigan and W, Domerjue, bowled over three bucks—one a spiked horn and two forked horns. Each mem- ber of the party killed a deer excepting Carrigan, who did not get a chance to try his eye and nerve. Another party, con- sisting - of Frank Lacost, Billy Brown, J. Osborne, H. J. Wicker and Achille Roos, was not so successful. Lacost was the only representative who bagged game, and to his cradit be it said that he brought down the finest specimen of the deer family that the club has seen in years. It | was a forked horn which, when dressed, scaled 135 pounds. One of the dogs of the club ran down a coyote and a battie royal ensued, The coyote stood hi# ground well until the pack arrived. Hunting parties are now being organ- ized for several deer-shooting expeditions, To-morrow being the first Sunday of the open season there will be cracking of rifles ad libitum all over the country. The Alameda County Sportsman’s Club will hold a clay-bird shoot to-day at Ala- meda Point and to-morrow (Sanday) the | Linco!n Gun Olub will meet in strong force at its own grounds in Alameda. The prizes offered are all first class and a gala day’s outing is promised. The Golden Gate Gun Club will shoot at the Pacific Tourney grounds to-morrow and the Cali- fornia Wing Club will assemble at San Bruno, where live pigeons will be used. The following letter from Marysvilie to the sporting editor concerning the differ- ences of opinion that exist between attor- neys and’ journalists relative to the game law and the Supervisors will prove inter- esting: Quite a discussibn has been goIng on be- tween the local pul;en as to the right of hunt- ers to shoot doves in Sutter County before July 15, the date established by the Board of Super- visors of that county for the commencement of the open season. The Appesal claimed that it was legal to kill doves on and after July 1. The Democrat declared it was not. District Attorney McLaughlin and Attorney A. H, Hewitt of Sutter County were asked for an opinion and they decided in favor of the Ap- peal as follows: A new section (6268) was added 1o the Penal Code by the Legislature of 1895. Said section Teads as follows: “Kvery person who, in the State of California, beiween the 16th day of February and the 1st day of July in each year, shall bunt, pursue, take, kill or destroy, or have in his pos- session, any dove or doves, suall be guilty of mis- demeanor.” The Legislature clearly intended that that section should be a general law, and since the passage of th t section no law has been enag by the Legislature suthorizing any Boari of Ppervisors 1o shorten or extend Lhe ciose season, and it stands orr ihe statute-books of our State to- day us a general iaw. he only authority that a Board of Supervisors had in the matter was that contained in section 2914 of the county government act and section 636 of the Penal Code, which were passed fwo years previons to the Penal Code section 6268 The Penul Code section above referred to was a portion of an act of the Legislature amending sec- tion 626 of that cude reiating to game. Section 27 of the act last referred to provides pressly that all acts and parts of acts iu confli with the provisions ot said act are repealed. Con- sequently section 2933 of the county government act and section 636 o: the Penal Cole must have been repealed, as they were in conflic; with the general g.me law. As the game law now stands 10 Board of Supervisors has the power to shorten or extend the close or open season. The Appeal now asks the editor of the Demo- crat to acknowledge his error or cause the arrest of some of Sutter's legal lights who have been shooting doves since’the 15t and make a test case of it. The question as to the power of the Supervisors to make changes in the general game law should be easily answered ing to section 11 of ar- | prizes, worth $1500, will be shot for. ticle XTI of the constitution, which confers upon the Boards of Supervisors the power to enact any laws in regard to the regula- | tions of flsi and game which-are not in | contiict with the general laws. The open season can be shortened or closed, but the close season cannot be shortened. Therefore it is patent that the Super- | visors can shorten the season between VJulfi 15 and October 15 or close it alto- gether if they are so inclined, but they canuot go ouiside of those dates, cther- ]wise they conflict with the general game aw. Joseph Bickerstaff and R. Itjen re- turned yesterday from a_ two days’ deer hunt in Marin County. Mr. Bickerstaff killed a fine buck. e RIFLE AND PISTOL. A Growing Interest In Revolver Shooting Among Local Marksmen. Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, will be alive with riflemen to-morrow. The California, Eintracht and Grutli shooting clubs will hold their regular bullseye con- tests ana the San Francisco Turners and the Ladies’ Schuetzen clubs will hold their regular medal contests. The California Schuetzen Club is pre- paring for its annual prize festivai, which will be beld on August 16 and 23 at Schuet- | zen Park. On August 25 the prizes will be distributed. The shooting festival com- mittec consists of Philo Jacoby (chairman), L. C. Babin, Otto Burmeister, N. Remens- wrger. D. B. Faktor, Joseph Straub, J. C. ailer, F. F. Carroll and Robert Langer. Abour $1200 in cash and 170 merchandize The programme will be similar to tbat of last year, ihe contests being on the ring, man and point targeis. Twenty targets will be open zll day on both occasions. Among the marksmen of this locality there is a growing interest in revolver practice and before very long there will no doubt be a large number who will com- pare fuvorably with those in the East and in Eum{,)e. he San Francisco and Oak- Iand police revolver teams have already proved that there s good metal in their ranks for they have made excellent scores with their heavy service revolvers. Inone respect these men shoot under great dis- advantages. They are not permitted to become familiar with one weapon, but are obliged to take from the rack the first one that comes to hand and no man can do his best with a strange firearm. It is hardly fair, from a marksman’s point of view, for the authorities to place such a handicap | upon the police marksmen. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club’s members are desirous of meeting the police revolver sharps, and any other class or club for that matter. To thatend the club has opened an all-comers’ revolver match for a trophy and a number of cash prizes which will be distributed at the end of this year. The match is open for all service revolvers (the 32-44 excepted), but principally for the larger calibers. For the pocket revolver there is another match, in which the prize is a beautiful medal which was presented by Howard Carr, the well-known rifle and revolver shot. The members of the club, and in fact several who are not members, are pol- ishing up their large revolvers. The con- aitions of this match are six-shot scores on the Columbia target. The best single | score wins the trophy and the next best takes the cash prizes, which by the end of the year will be worth_shooting for. A. C. Mayers of Watsonviile has re- | cently perfected an open-front rifle-sight | for bunting purposes, which has com- mended itself to a number of hunters who have inspected the invention, which will be patentea. In many respects it resem- | bles the old Rocky Mountain sight now | used on the Winchester rifles, but instead of an aluminum strip in the center this part is mude of ivory, and is much thicker than the other material. The sides are of oxydized steel. The side view presents a small strip of white over the crown, but it is the rear view that attracts attention. Sighted on a dark object the ivory center stands out clear and distinct. On’a white object the white of the ivory cannot be seen, but the black oxydized sides stand out as clear as two ink lines. The in- ventor claims that it is a periect sight for a bright licht and a deep shade, such as the marksman -often riences on the open plain and in the dark forest. It is likely that several of these sights will be used during the present deer-hunting sea- son. The sight is constructed to stand rough service. M. J. WaITE, e SR THE OARSMEN. The South Enders Disbanded—Pet- erson Wants to Row Hanlan. From the present outlook of thines the championship regatta of 1896 will be de- tl:’l'da: on the Stockton channel on Septem- r 9. Local oarsmen were very desirous that the Pacific Coast Amateur Association allot the championship races to San Fran- cisco during the Golden Gate Carnival, but the Stockton people made such stren- uous efforts to have their regatta on Sep- tember 9 a championship meeting and offered such liberal inducements to the oarsmen that the N. A. A. will, it,is thoucht, give them the preference and nm:non their regatta asa championship alr, The association has been forwarded a check for the amount of the prizes. which in each instance will be an individual trophy to every oarsman who participates in the races. 1 oarsmen will be given free trans- gomuon with their boats to and from 'hf'hon'il.lnn“ the Stockton Athletic Asso- ciation will fit up its gymnasium with cots, to be used as slel:pin”qnm-rl for the vis- itors during their sojourn in Stockton. The clubs have promised an entry in esch event on the programme for which they hl't.lnitlble boats. This will necessitate rowing a _great many of the races in heats, as the Stock- ton channel can’t very well accommodate over four boals in a race, owing to its nar- rowness. Several new single scullers will make their initial appearance in the singles on September 9. They are as follows: John Foley of the South Ends, Jim Keenan and W. O. Patch of the Dolphins and George Phelan of the Ariel Rowing Club. The Giant crew of Stockton has had a damper cast over its enthusiasm as to its rowing ability. The oarsmen were living in hopes of meeting the South Ends’ crack senior crew on the 9th of Septem- ber, but now that MacArthur, the crew's captain, has aspirations to be a star in the pugi firmament, and Bode, the bow man, has joined the ranks of the bene- dicts, and Duplissen, the stroke, is paying all his attention to the single scull, the Stockton boys must rest on the laurels they have won. The South End Junior crew of the fol- lowing personnel: Ed Tobin, bow and cap- tain; Matt Breen, forwardwaist; James Pallas, afterwaist; Ed Scully, stroke; and George McGrill, cockswain, will be on hand, however, to try; the mettle of the Giant crew. _ The Pioneer Club has implicit faith in its crew winning the championship this year. The boys have been rowing regu- larly for some time back and are already in good trim. The personnel of the crew is as follows: Fred Orr, bow and captain; Coney Ochs, forwardwaist; George Col- lopy, afterwaist; John Clifford, stroke; and George Fitzsimmons, cockswain. The aisbandment of the South Ends’ crack crew will be regretted by all interested in rowing matters. They were always the favorites with the public in the different regattas, where their magnificent stroke was always favorably commented upon. The personnel of the crew was as fol- lows: Henry Bode, bow? Bob McArthur, forwardwaist and captain; Gus Carson, afterwaist; Frank Duplissea, stroke, and George McGrill, cockswain. Henr; Peterson, the champion oarsman of the Pacific Coast, is anxious to take | Gaudaur’s place and row Hanlan, who has | just challenged the former for arace at the | ancouver regatta. Peterson says that as Gaudaur is going to England to row Stanbury he cannot ! see how Gaudaur can possibly row Hanlan on September 1, the date set for the Van- couver regatta, consequently he is anxious | to take Gaudaur’s place and row Hanlan for the $3000 purse. The Olympic Club team of athletes just | returned from Portland isloud in its praises of the boating facilities of the Portiand club and deem it advisable for tue ad- vancement of the sport here that the local clubs take part in some of the Portland regattas or offer inducements for the Port- land oarsmen to come down here and row, which the latter are very anxious to do. The boating annex of the Olympic Club is reported as being in a flourishing con- dition, with forty-five members, two four- oared working sheils, a new four-oared | racing sheil and a number of private boats. The present officers of the annex are as appended: Chairman, J. McEiroy; secre- tary, E. A}liwn' captain, B. McArthur; | directors, J. T. McCarty and E. Sullivane Now that McCauslacd has been defeated by Duplissea it is thought that his race with Johnson, the northern sculler, will | be declared off. Duplissea states that he will take McCausland's pMce and row Johnson, either at the Vancouver regatta or on the bay here during the fiesta re- gatta. [t has been noised about that the South End Club would defray Johnson's expenses if he would consent to row the local man here during the carnival. —_—— GAME. LAW. Differences of Opinion Among Sportsmen and Attorneys. The following letter to the sporting edi- tor of TE CALL from Judge Carroll, who is enjoying a very pleasant vacation at the mountain lakes, will interest all lovers of the gentle pastime: LAKE INDEPENDENCE, Cal., July 15, 1896. Sporting Editor Call: Situated in'the heart of the Sierras, in the region of perpetual snow, is Lake Independence, which, in my opinion, is the queen of mountain lakes, not only from the grandeur of the sceuery, but also irom the excellent quality as well as the number of its fish. Iwassomewhat disappointed iu the size of the fish, but this is overbalanced by their flayor. fishing is dome with flies, princi- though some erthusiast, like . Finch, will persist in “cast- ing,” and I must say that, thus far, he has proven to be the most successiul, so far as numbers are concerned. At Cumming, the champion fiy-caster of Fruitvale, Alameda County, arrived here yes- terday from Webber Lake. He went stream- fishing and returned in a few hours with a fine creel of Eastern brook trout, one of which es- pecially was a ‘“beauty,” weighing four pounds, but as I understand that “Al'” is an “expert angler,” I presume this will not be & surprise to his many friends, whom Isee by ‘1HE CALL have been anxiously inquiring of his whereabouts. He shipped fish to-day to his friends. I was somewhat diu?»ln ted to read in THE CALL that the fish shipped by me ar- rived in poor condition. As they are kentalive in tanks until ready for shipment, and as the trip is made in a single day surely some one must be at fault. Judge Groezinger snd myself went to Web- ber Lake yesterday aud were most royally enlel’u.lnod’ by our genial friend, Murdock, the Fish Commissioner. He reported the fish- ing very good. We also had the pleasure of meeting Judges Hunt and Slack of San Fran- cisco, who also reported very fair success. Oun the road back Judge Groezinger endeavored to myself and Ed Teeter and was thrown out of his conveyance, but he was uninjured, bar- rine a little -mkl? up. Guided by Ed Teeter and Ed Steel, two of the most successiul guides in the Sierras, we leave to-day for a grand deer and bear hunt, but of course the result must be sent to you later on, and I trust I may have a successful m_&m record in the columns of THF CALL. e best fishing here is to be had in the evening. The boats are towed to the head of ihe lake by a sterm launch, handied by Ci tain John Lehan and George A.McDonald, and a8 the lake is three and & haif miles long the angler is pretty tired on his return to the hotel, as the boat must be rowed very slowly. I find the “Katy May” and the “Royal Coach- man” the most successful flies at nt. Our mutual friend John Grindley has been rusticating here for the past two weeks, and tndtln' from the number of shi] %ed y him sureiy his friends must be aware o? is T coos e A great rivalry at present between Cumming, Fineh and Cohen. Each endeavors to rise first in the morniug in order to be the first on_the stream. They all left at 4 A,y xo-d:nhmunonher has' yet returned I am unable to report results. The accommodations here are excellent. The hotel is managed by J. H. Mackormick, and he seems to think that he cannmot do enough in order to please the guests. Yours truly, JOHN A. CARROLL. The_ sporting editor of THE CALL is in- debted to Mr. Finch for a beautiful mess of cut-throat trout, which arrived in ex- cellent condition. Champion fly-caster Al Cumming states in a letter that Eastern trout will be the next to arrive at this office. Arthur Foster, who arrived a few days ago from Independence Lake, states that A. B. Finch is seriously thinking of stock- ing the lake in question with rainbow or smoked herring—a fish which is said to be very prolific in some of ihelakes of the Arctic. G.W. Morgan of the El Bonita Hotel, at Duncans Mills, writes that the anglers are having excellent sport in Russian River, catching black and striped bass, A party, composed of Dr. Moss, E. Swain, W. H. Fuller and daughter, C. A. Bennett, Miss Flora Frisbie, Misses He'en and Goldie Banders, W. J. Thompson, J. Deering and Miss Walton, have been enjoying grand sea fishing at the moufh of the river. A. Bennett, E. Deering and W. J. Thompson caught sixty fish last Monday, | which consisied of pike, black and striped bass. Mr. Morgan states also that some of the sportsmen have had very good sac- cess deer shooting. THE ANGLER. Where First-Class Sport Can Be Had In the Mountalns. Anglers are now enjoying the cream of the season’s sport. Reports from moun- tain lakes and streams are most satisfac- | tory. The pleasure and heaith seekers | who are rusticating among the pines of | the Sierras and Siskiyous are shipping beautiful mountain trout almost daily to | their friends in this City who cannot | avail themselves of the opportunity of an outing in the pieasant altitudes. The angling at Lakes Tahoe, Indepen- dence, Webber and Donner will be first- class until the middle of August, after which month the fish will drop to the bottom of the big ponds, where the water is cool and pleasant. The spoon will then replace the fly, which is now successfully used in surface fishing. The Truckee River, which is unquestion- ably an ideal trout stream, will not be at its best until August, and consequently there are many anglers who have pur- posely deferred their vacations sothey can have an opportunity of whipping its crystal waters when angling is ripe. With the exception of the part of the MeCloud River which at certain times of the year affords grand fly fishing, there are but few of the coast streams that can be compared with the Truckee, from an angler's point cf view. Then the accom- modations at Boca are first-class, and tne journey from this City to the happy hunt- ing and fishing grounds is most suitable, because of the quick passage. An angler whose time is limited can leave this City on the evening train going east and reach Boca next morning at 7| o’clock. In other words, he can enjoy a first-class day’s trouting on the Truckee and return to this City in time to com- mence business the following mormng. An angler with the same time allowance cannot have a full day’s fishing on Paper Mill Creek in Marin County. e St BOXING. The Proposed Green and McArthur Contest Declared Off. The application of the Olympic Club for permits to hold a boxing entertainment in its building on the 31<t inst. and an exhi- bition in Mechanics’ Pavilion in August or September was granted yesterday by the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors. | The Occidental Club was also granted permits to give entertainments in August and September, but ths application of the Pocenix Athletic Club for an exhibition was denied. Nothing was heard from the National | Club, which is at present taking a well- earnea rest. Peter Maher, the Irish pugilistic cham- vion, aud his manager and trainer, Con- noily, will arrive this evening if the train they are on will land on time. | It is difficult to say what Maher will do | until he has bad a conference with the managers of the Occidental and Olympic clubs. Young Mitchell is of the obinion that it is not conducive to health or to wealth to have too many irons in the fire at one time and consequently he does hot propose to make any very flattering over- tures for the Maher and Choynski mill. | The Occidental Club slate is aimost com- plete, but a change may be maae if Joe and Peter will agree to a reasonable offer. The Olympic Ciub’s proposed purse of $4000 atiil stands good, but if Maher and Choynski are best on riding the high horse the clubs may ignore them alto- gether and engage other talent. Pugilist Jeéria! is in great demand. He says that fighting azainst managers who are anxious to take him under their wing is much harder work than fighting in the ring. Jeffries should announce who his manager is if he has any, so that the clubs will know whom to correspond with in case they may need his services. By having too many msnagers he lost a good chance to pick up a nice pot at the Olympic Club. *Joe McAuliffe will have another chance for his life,”” remarked Billy Jordan yes- terday. ‘“‘If Farley can keep his eyes on the big fellow and steer him clear of re- NEW TO-DAY.

Catarrh Quacks and Quackery Why do we put thieves in prison and leave the quacks outside? 3 Catarrh quacks and catarrh ‘“remedies are so numerous because catarrh is so frequent and so hard to cure. iz And because the average physician never attempts a sys{emalicA treatment. He fears he can’t cure and he is too honest to try. Yet it's a troublesome disease. If it does not kill it causes great distress, disa- bility and misery. 2 And sometimes it kills! It can be cured. 3 Dr. Sweany, in the course of his iong and brilliant record in several other spe- cial branches of the healing art, has dis- coverea the hidden source, the invlsxb!e germs of this obstinate malady, and is probably the only physician in the world who can truly guarantee to cure: Catarrh of the nose and pharynx, Catarrh of the head or inner ear, Catarrh of the eye and ear, Catarrh of the throat (bronzhitis), Catarrh of the lungs (consumptian), Catarrh of the stomach (dyspepsia).
