FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1896. After a few weeks lull in matters pugil- | istic, a storm has arrived which will keep | the fancy blowing during the remainder | of the month. Yesterday two important matches were consummated. Big Joe McAuliffe, the | Mission giant, was signed to fight Choyn- | ski on the evening of the 28th inst., and | Van Buskirk telegraphed the managers | of the Colma Club that he would fight | Jeffries on the evening of September 2. The wheelmen will have a gala outing | at San Rafael on Sunday. The intercollegiate football players are arranging for the selection of teams. | The oarsmen are all in active training | for the Stockton regatta. | The Interstate Coursing Club is exercis- ! ing its dogs preparatory to the next big | meeting at Ingleside Park. Deer hunters are scouring the hills in quest of game, and the anglers are now enjoying the cream of the season’s sport | in the mountains. All in all this is a very busy season in all-round sporting. Fimarisic- e THE WHEELMEN. Road Raclng at San Rafael and a Watermelon Run at Stockton To-Morrow. There are very few cycling events scheduled for to-morrow or the near tuture. Not that interest in the sportis flagging, but tbis is a poor time of the year for club runs or road races, as the country roads are hot and dusty and the weather is too warm for comfort. Many of the local clubs will go to Stock: ton by boat to-night to attend the water- | melon run of the Terminal City Wheelmen there to-morrow. Another attraction for those who like road racing wiil be the two events arranged by the management of the Hotel Raiacl and open to all amateur riders, a two-mile bandicap and a five-mile | bandicap, for which good prizes have been | offered, These will be run off on the road | between San Anselmo and San Ratael, | the finish being in front of the hotel. | Riders can enter the races on the ground 10-morTow morning, ana the handicapping | will be attended to ihen by Robert A. | Smyth, official_handicapper of ine League of American Wheelmen. Three coast cities will make a bid for the wheelmen on September 9, Admission | dey, Santa Rosa, San Jose and Stockton. | Santa Rosa has not yet made any great preparations, and may decide not to hold | a meet until later in the season. The San Jose men were up to the ‘last_meeting of | the associated clubs and tried to get the annual parade for their town on that day, which shows that they are already at work on their meet and entry blanks and prize lists may be expected before long. The Stockton meet will pernaps prove | the greatest drawing card, as the Native | Sons celebrate there on that day, and the prizes they have offered are so iiberal that most of the best racing men will attend that meet. The races will be held under the auspices of the cycling annex of the | Stockton Athletic Club, which is com- posed largely of members of the old Osk Leaf Wheelmen, whose cordial entertain- | ment of all visiting wheelmen has en- | | deared tbhem to the membvers of the Olympic, Bay City, Reliance and other clubs who have irom time to time made pilgrimages to that city. They bave secured the half-mile dirt track at Goodwater Grove, which has always -been lightring fast, and on this the races will be run. There will be a mile scratch and a mile handicap for the professionals, with four prizes for each race, $80, $40, $20 and $10, aggrepating $150. There will be two amateur events, a half-mile scratch and a mile handicap, with the full limit of prizes.allowed by the league. The cychists of Stockton will arrange for the reception and entertain- ment of the visiting wheelmen in con- junction with the Native Sons, and all are assured a merry time who journey to that point on September 9. | no matter Low careful a rider may be. The Btockton Athletic Club is situated in a large and excellently appointed club- house near the water's edge. The club has parlors, gymnasium, baths, wheei- room, billiard-room, lockers and all other conveniences, including a room for the storing of shells and racing-boats used by the rowing annex, which is an important feature of the club. Among the wheel- men in the club one will meet Arthur Wright, Bob Inglis, Fred Eckstrom, Hutchinson, McCuen and a dozen others who were well-known as members of the Oak Leafs, together with considerable new blood which has been infused into the ranks of late. The Stockton Road Club is a new and strong organization numerically, having more members than the Terminal Citys or the cycling annex of the athletic club. The Terminal City Club is a league club and in this connection considerable good work for the league has been done by Or- rin S. Henderson, the local consul, who, by the way, is one of the champion swim- mers of Stockton. The Olympic City Wheelmen are talk- ing of a joint run with the Reliance Club | Wheelmen to Stockton by boat Saturday | evening, August 22. | wheelmen of the athletic club have de- Hearing of this the cided to invite them to be their guests while there and will also invite the Bay City Wheelmen to come up at the same time. Arun to Lodi and a feast upon watermelons would be features of the re- ception. - Walter B. Fawcett is arranging a_big race meet to be beld on the Central Park ; track on Saturday afternoon, August 22. He has the support of all the local cycling clubs ana the Cycle Board of Trade has called a special meeting for next Monday night to consider in what way they can lend the project their aid. Wheelmen of this City are alive to the fact that there should be race meets held in this City and | that they can be made a success if prop- erly handled, and Mr. Fawcett 1s receiving a great deal of encouragement in his pre- liminary arrangements. Suitable prizes will be awarded in the different events and there will probably be a match race between two crack professionals from dif- ferent clubs, paced by tandems. Collisions are sometimes unavoidabt& course, it is always better to avoid a smash-up if such a thing is possible. There ave cases—and it happens to nearly every cyclist—when a collision cannot be avoided. Then the old saw, “Self-preser- vation 1s the first law of nature,” comes in. Put on a little extra steam and strike your adversary’s wheel Lead on. Don’t allow him to hit you broadside or your wheel won’t be worth much. Above all, always keep cool and observe the rules of the road. If you do this it will be the other fellow’s fault if there is any trouble. ‘Whéelmen should avoid all sweetened drinks when on_tour. They only serve to increase the thirst. The most beneficial drink is ginger ale. The imported article | is the best, and if served in a large glass, with a fresh egg broken in it and thor- oughly mixed, the potion is delicious and exceedingly refreshing. Tom Cooper, who leads the racing men on Spooner’s percentage ladder, 18 a youth who is trained to perfection. 1n fact, it is said he could never get into finer physical condition. Old trainers say that unless a rider shows progress he must go back. This is apt to happen in Cooper’s case. He is now in that rare form where his con- dition is faultiess. There is a chance of his breaking down any day. Unless he pays striet attention to himself the strain is ‘apt to affect him. Experienced men say he cannot last the season out at his present gait. Bald is a larger man ana seems to have more strength and nerve force, but the circuit last year told on him. Cooper is a more conservative young man than Bald, however; saves his money and does not run around ‘‘with the boys’’; as aresult he is not as_popular among the circuit followers as is Balg. The eyclists of this country are looking toward Louisville, where the annual race meet of the League of American Wheel- men will begin on August 10 and continue five days. Kverybody nad a royal time at Asbury Park last year, but those who go to the Blue Grass State will, in all proba- bility, not be sorry that they made the Jobn S. Johnson, the Crack American Racer, Who Has Just Returned From Abroad. G ; B ity S o577 e ey journey. The Kentuckians are s hos- pitable people and the visitors will be well looked after. The racing features romise to be the very best ever given ata ational meet. A large crowd of enthu- siasts will go down from New York and the Bast, and arrangements are being made torun special trains by more than one of the roads. _Visitors io the meet should not leave Kentucky without first visiting Mammoth Cave, one of the won- ders of the country. Excursions will be run from Louisville to the cave at reduced rates for L. A. W. members. Never lend your bicycle to anybody. Better by iar to go down into your pocket ana hand over to your friend the price to hire a wheel. It isa difficult matter toget a wheel adjusted to a person and when you once get 1t fixed to suit you it is better to keep it that way. If you loan it the borrower is sure to change something. Those who purchase a new bicycle every year will readily agree with the above. The latest bulletin of the racing board is as follows: Bulletin 21. August 7, 1896, Sancions granted—August 6, G. G.

WELCH, Member National Racing Board. On Sunday, August 16, the Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold a five-mile road race, for which there will be a large field of entrants and numerous valuable prizes. On the following Saturday night they will go by boat to Stockton and have a run to Lodi the following day. French manufacturers are apprehensive over the anticipated invasicn of American bicycles, and from the feverish haste with which the Chamber of Deputies has been asked for protection, it is inferred that the foreign makers fear a comparison of their wheels with those of this country. This season has seen exports of thousands of American wheels for foreign ports, but they are nothing to the number that will follow next year. There is a craze spread- ing for American bicycles that has taken the form of a stampede. The mermbers of the San Francisco Road Club will go to Stockton to-night qn the 6 o’clock boat, under Captain Pixley, and attend the watermelon run there to-mor- row. George Hamlin, the crack racer of the club, will ride in the transcontinental relay race on the 24th on_the stretch from San Leandro to Haywards, and will try to lower the world’s five mile record held by himself at that time. Hamlin is also going to try for the world’'s ten-mile record before long. The Alpha (iadies’) Cycling Club will have a run to San Jose to-morrow, taking the 7 A. M. boat, led by Captain Mahony. Twenty-one new members joined the North Carolina division of the League of American Wheelmen last week, bringing the total membership up to 1602. The membership is increasing steadily at the rate of about twenty-five per week. Appli- cation blanks and information can be had productive are the head waters of the Eel river. Anglers who can afford the time and the expense of travel should repair to the streams of the Sierra Nevadas, which are now in excellent order for fly fishing. The famous Truckee River is daily growin, better and within a few hours’ ride of Boca there are several shaded mountain creeks that contain rainbow, cutthroat and New Hampshire trout. The flies that have been giving the best results of late are: Brown hackle, red tail, gray hackle, Benns’ royal coachman, cadis No. 2, re ant, black gnat, March brown, Katie May, Murdock’s professor No. 1 and Emeric’s professor No, 2, hare’'s ear in yellow, grizzly king, McRae’s San Andreas mos- quito and Skinner’s neverfail. Al Cumming, the champion fiy-caster of Fruitvale, 5‘. authority for the state- ment that he is having a fly made which will put all flies in the shade so faras Truckee River fishing is concerned. It will be known as the Royal Highlander. ptain George Cumming is perfecting arrangements for a party of local sports- men who are contemplating a trip to the famous Williamson River in Southern Oregon. The captain is now 70-odd years of age, and a more enthusiastic angler does mnot live on this side of the Rocky Mountains. 1t will be many years yet be- fore the captain’s line will run out, as he is as hale and hearty as a young colt. ‘Walter Mansfield, the president’ of the Fly-Casting Club, left last evening with his fishing mate, W. Bogard, for a whip at the Truckee and small streams in the vi- cinity of Boca. As ‘“‘there areothers” who will journey East in the very near future, it is hoped that the experts in fly-casting will leave a few silver-sides for the ones who are now enjoying only feasts of an- ticipation, 3 It is said that the Federal Fish Commis- sion is interested in Crater Lake, in Ore- gon, and men have been sent there to as- certain if it is supplied with enough nat- ural food to warrant its being stocked with fish. Like Trapper's Lake, in Colorado, this lake is very deep; in fact, it is said to be the deepest fresh water lake in the West, aithough less than five miles in width, Professor Hervey recently returned from an outing on the Ivfiver Sur, in Monterey County. He says the trout are large and numerous, but that they will not take a fly ; bait must be used. % George Walker, Joseph Kelly and Wil- liam Cooper have been whipping the Truckee since Saturday last. As nothing has been heard from them the supposition is that they have not enjoyed very good sport. Miller, the jeweler, caught a half-pound trout in the Lagunitas Creek recently which was nlfiicteg with parasites. H. C. Golcher has been credited with having made a iong-distance cast of ninety-two feet recently oh Stow Lake. A morning paper stated that it came within three feet of equaling the amateur record for the United States. An Eastern paper devoted to field sports replies as follows: We beg leave to correct the sporting editor of the Chronicle. On August 17, 1895, during the medal contests of the Chicago Fly-Casting Club at North Garfield Park in that city, B. W. Goodsell, a member of the club and an ama- teur, made a clean cast of 101 feet, or only eighteen inches short of R. C.Leonard’s pro- fessional single-handed world’s record, made at Central Park, New York, several vears be- fore. What makes Mr. Goodsell's feat more re- markable is as follows: In the single-handed long distance fy-casting club medal contest he was using an 8ig-ounce, 105 foot rod, & 9-foot leader, with a single fly; and his cast, 101 feet, never has been equalled or closely approached—so far as we know—with the same implements at any casting event in the world. There will be some practice casting this afternoon on Stow Lake, and on the even- ing of the 11th inst. a meetini‘ol the Fly- Casting Club will pe held in Flooa build- ing, which will be addressed by Professor Hibbard. At arecent meeting of the Fish Commis- sion the application of the Visalia Sports- man’s Club for 25,000 cut-throat trout was granted. The fish will be shigpea in the near future and distributed by members of the club. The following anglers recently returned from Webber Lake: Cnharles Huse, Judges Hunt, #inn and Slack of this City, Judge Smith of Stockton, T. E. Beans and Ralph Low of San Jose, Alexander Vogelsang, B. Townsend, Sam Neustadter, M. Huif, by addressing the cycling editor of THE CarL. Frank Dutton, A. Cumming, J. Wheland and H. Emeric, A SCENE ON TRUCKEE RIVER. The Pacific Cycling Club will bave a run to Napa Valley to-night and to-morrow. The start will be made to-night by steamer Zinfandel from Jackson-sireet wharf at 7 o’clock to Cutting’s landing. To-morrow they will make an early start and ride to St. Helena, returning by train late in the afternoon. Allan N. Jones of the Olympic Club ‘Wheelmen will try for the world’s straight- away mile record to-day, paced by a triplet. The attempt will be made on the third or fourth relay course whichever is judged the best. SpaLDING, o L S THE ANGLER. Where Sportsmen Can Enjoy Good Fishing—Stocking Streams. Although the season for the capture of trout by lawful means will not expire until the 1st of November, local anglers are in a quandary as to how they can spend their off days from business in the enjoyment of a pastime which they love best. They say it is only an expenditure of time and money tovisit any of the coast streams, as none of them contain trout of a size worthy of a place in a creel—thanks to the very “excellent’’ system of stocking creeks as now employed by the Fish Com- missioners. £ There are, however, a few streams in Bonoma and Mendocino counties which will pan out well to an experienced angler who will credit trout with having suf- ficient power of vision to see a large object when it gets immediately opposite a pool, the water of which is now as clear as crystal. Trout are very cunning in summer and to catch them the angler must be accurate in casting and use only the very finest and best quality of tackle.” The greatest secret of success, however, is in keeping your presence hidden from the quick eye of the wary denizens, and to accomplish this trick long-distance casts are frequently necessary. The Fish Commissioners have placed large-mouth bass in what.is known as the ‘lake in the woods,” a body of water within half an hour’s tramp of Webber Lake. The bass will destroy the trout fishing if there are any trout in the lake in guestion. Several thousand Loch Leven and Brown trout fry have been placed in Webber Lake, and the little Loch Levenites are now .jumping at flies as if their lives depended upon the number they catch. They are very well pleased with their new home evidently, and in a few years hence anglers will enjoy royal sport, as the Loch Levin trout is the gamest of the family. Local anglers are in hopes that the Spring Valley Water Comruy will rein- state James Kerr, the keeper of San Andreas Lake, who was discharged a few days ago. Kerr was very popular with the angling fraternity. AL GUN AND RIFLE. Localitles Where Good Deer- Shooting Can Be Enjoyed. The Olympic and Empire Gun clubs will meetat the traps at Alameda Point to-morrow and some lively cracking of clays will certainly result. Sportsmen who are not members of either of the aboye-named clubs are invited to attend a pool and practice shoot which will be held on the Empire grounds to-morrow aiter- noon, commencing at 1 o’clock. On October 4 and 5 the California Inan- imate Target Association will meet in sirong force a® San Jose, where its an- nual tournament will be held, The San Joaquin Valley Gun Club held its monthly shoot last Bunday and the following are the scores made: Medal uhootl 29 singles, unknown angles— A class—Murray 12, Wild 20, Gilmer 12, J. E. Buckman 15, Reed Giddings 12, Mc- Veagh 20, “‘Sensaboy” 17. B class—C. T. Buckman 16, Simmons 11, Cadweli 12, Suss 14, The club intends to finish up its medal Pieta Creek was in past years a favorite resort of anglers, but this year the trout averaged only four inches in length, and trom all unts rattlesnakes are numer- ous along the creek bottom. _ - The headwaters of the Big Sulphur Creek, a beautiful stream which empties into the Russian River near Cloverdale, will be found well worthy of a visit. The fish are all of good size and occasionally a whopper weighing a pound will test the quality of your tackle. Latest reports state that first-class fishing can be had ear Boonville, which place is reached b{ tnm from Cloverdale. North of Ukial are several good streams, but the. most shoot on September 6, as a majority of the members will attend the Fresno shoot. On August 16 the Golden Gate Gun Club will meet on the grounds of the Pacific Tournament Association, Alameda Junc- tion. The Lincoln Gun Club will meet at Alameda Point on the same day and the Reliance Club at the Webster-street grounds, Alameda. Jobn Bergez of the Tamalpais Club scored an excellent shot 8t a running buck on Friday morning and brought down his game at 400 yards with the improved Win- chester, which carried cartridges loaded with smokeless powder.

Wetmore reports having had splendid deer shooting at Warm Spring Creek near Skaggs Springs. | James Lynch, cashier of the First Na- tional Bank, will lecture soon on the pos- pibilities of a tenderfoot getting lost in the McCloud River country. Last Wednesday a jolly gathering of sportsmen bent evidently on having a | thirty-five deer, one bear, one panther and caught upward of 400 fine fish, averaging about eight pounds each. Superior Judge Dougherty spent two weeks with a party in Humboldt County and brought homu{s fine bearskin and two coyote scalps as trophies. Major L W. Juilliard returned w«dl¥ from the Brown ranch, in Salt Point Township. The major and_party camped while there at the celebrated Velvet Horn camp, where the deer, according to report, graze with the cows in the Brown pastures. One of the many weaponsin camp was an ancent 8-bore 12-pound shot- fun, known as ‘‘death-in-the-pot.” With this ormidable weapon loaded with slugs Major Juilliard sallied forth the morning after his arrival. About 300 yards from camp he was startled by a crash in the underbrush and held a pair of horns moving above the under- wood. ‘A quick aim, two loud 1eports from the trusty “death-in-the-pot,” and the major found himself flaton his back with a sadly bruised shoulder. Butstone dead in the underbrush a8 a result of the major's aim was the finest Southdowr ram on the Brown ranch. i THE (IARSMEN. A Row In the Alameda Club—All Ready for Stockton’s Regatta. The Alameda Boating and Swimming A MOUNTAIN GROUSE. - few weeks of health-giving recreation, left this City on the Tiburon boat bound for the Hood ranch, which place is noted as being a favorite resort of sportsmen. It is distant about twenty-two miles north- west of Oloverdale. The gentlemen who composed the psr% are Jim Shaw, Ben Kerridge of Los Guillicos, Dave Hear- field, John J. O’Farrell, Dr. Aule, Mr. Livingston, Charles Fair and Colonel P. Boland. They were well supplied with ammunition for tne destruciion of bear, deer and ratilesnakes, and it goes without saying that during their sojourn in the country game of all kinds ‘‘in season’’ will suffer. A particularly interesting and well compiled handbook relating to the game of this State has just been issued. It is entitied “California Game Marked Down,”” and is profusely illustrated with halftone sketches. The author, Dr. Wilham B. May, has evidently made a most careful study of his subject, for he treats every department in a succinct but entertaining style. illthe most ligely resorts of fish and fowl, from the Sierras to the southern line, are briefly described, and the best methods of bagging everything from a California lion to a chipmunk are clearly set forth, In addition to this is some val- uable information relating to the manner of reaching the various happy hunting- rounds and the accommodations for tour- sts which each possesses. A chapter of unusual interest is devoted to a contrast between Atlantic and Pacific coast, fields of sport. The little work will be a welcome addi- tion to the library of every lover of the chase either on land or water. If the sportsmen’s clubs of this City had as keen an interest in the protection of game and fish as their confreres of the Northwest there would be less complaints of poaching and game destruction. At a meeting of the Tacoma Rifle, Rod and Gun Club recently it was decided to offer a reward of $25 for information that would convict any one in that section of violating the game laws. The club also secured the services of three detectives, who will scour the country in search of game-law viola- tors, The law-abiding sportsmen of Ta- coma are determined that others shall respect the laws whether they wish to or not or pay handsomely for violating them. The recent conviction of a violator, who was fined $150 and costs, should serve as a warning to others. T. Cleary, an enthusiastic sportsman, returned recently from a very successful angling and shooting trip in " the vicinir of the Ferr{ ranch, which is situ: about ten miles northwest of Cloverdal f‘l.l writes of the sport he enjoyed ss ollows: A jolt crowd were encamped on the Ferry Ranch, Dry Creek, Sonoma County, for eight dli'a, It was composed of Dave Hearfield, the wellknown ericketer, Tom Cleary, Dave Drady of THe CaLi, Robert Nolan of this _City, uanr%s W. Hoyle, the 8mith brothers, Hiram sehultz and Hen Vessor of Cloverdale. The party was upusually lucky, having killed fourteen bucks and caught a large num- ber of tront, The trout were of the rainbow variety and ran from about four to eighteen s, Owing (o the temperature of the water the fish Were a trifie soft. We had the \same experience as all others who have visited that part of the coumriv this summer, viz, an objection to the inclinacion of the “docile’ :aitleanake sharing our blankets, one about four fest long being killed in the vieinity of our sleeping ‘‘apartments.” Several illed on the Fe: place this season and one large fellow is still r.mwlln. about there.

All hands voted it the best time they had ever bad, and nothing of a serfous nature intervening they will repeat it next summer, The following letter from V. Moore of Santa Rosa will show that the pleasures of camp life where good shooting and fishing abound are sought after by the leading lights of the City of Roses: Fully 200 samping parties left this city dur- ing July, and as many more will outfit from here thismonth.

They killed in ten d'ldy': Remarkable | Club has five crackerjack oarsmen train- ing for the senior outrigger skiff race of the Stockton regatta. A tryout race will soon be neld, and the winners of first and second places will row under the club’s colors at Stockton. The men in trainingre Jack Lancaster, captain of the yacht Edna; A. Webb, Fred Ayers, Samuel J. Pembroke, champion outrigger skiff oarsman of the coast, and Dr. Cecil Dennis. The club has also several men in tramn- ing for the junior outrigger skiff race, but it is thought that Victor Hadcock, who rowed second in this event at Stockton on last Fourth of July, will be the club’s se- lection. For the four-oared barge race the following crew will be entered: Jack Lan- caster, stroke; A. Webb, afterwaist; Fred Ayers, forwardwaist, and Victor Had- cock, bow and captain. The oarsmen will use the Stockton Ath- letic Association’s barge Jim Budd to row the race in, as the Alameda club has no racing boats. b The greatest number of entries in the regatta will come from the South End Club of this City. 1t will have an entry in every event on the programme. Two uew skiffs are now being built for the club by Twigg & Sons. It was confidently expected that the Dolphins and Ariels would drop in line with the South Ends and make an entry in every race, as these clubs, unlike some of the other clubs, have plenty of boats; but it now looks as if they have already got “cold feet,” for the only entry from the Dolphin Club will be W. O. Patch in the junior outrigger skiff race. The Ariels held a meeting last Monday night and tried hard to get some barge crews together, but their efforts were fu- tile. They will be strongly represented in the single scull and outrigger events, how- ever, and the club still has hopes of organ- izing a junior and intermediate four-oared crew to row at Stockton. ‘William McCausland will be their repre- sentative in the senior single scull, N, J. Prendergast will row in the junior single- scull race, and Jim Wilson, George Phelan and Bob Ellis will have a try-out to see who rows in the senior outrigger event. J. R. Bockmann, Andy Carroll, N. J. Prendergast and A. Raconleigh will also have a try-out to settle the question of su- premacy in the junior outrigger event for the Stockton regatta. The Pioneers are going to make them- selves known at Stockton on September 9, and will be in the field with two strong crews and two crack skiff rowers. If the junior crew win their race they will enter or the intermediate contess. The personnel of the two crews is as fol- lows: Junior— J. Bnnlei‘ stroke; F. Torths, afterwaist; Tom Faulkner, for- | wardwaist; W. St. John, bow, and George Fitzsimmons, coxswain, Senior crew—John Clifford, stroke; George Collopy, afterwaist; Coney Ochs, forwardwaist; Fred Orr, bow, and George coxswain. Both crews are ing. Jubn Clifford, who won the whitehall championship of Baltimore harbor two years ago, will be the Pioneers’ representa- tive in the senior outrigger event, and Fred Orr is the most likely candidate for the junior skiff race. Ac the last regular meeting of the Pio- neers the following new members were enrolled on the club’s roster: J. Madden, PLil Torths, Tom Faulknerand J. Roeder. The club’s barge, John T. McDonald, Which was nearly wrecked while coming from Goat Island u short time ago, has been entirely refitted. Sliding roller seats and the latest patent oarlocks have been put in, and the boat is now thought to be as fast as any of the new racing cratt. A change has been made in the per- sonnel of the South End junior crew. Hngh. MclIsaacs, the stroke of the St. Mary's College crew that rowed second to the victorious Olympic Club crew in the championship quth of last year, has taken J. Casserly’'s place and will row stroke oar. The South End senior crew will com- mence training immediately upon the ar- rival of Gus Carson, the Twaist man, from his trip up the river. The Uiympic Club crew, the same one that rowed in third place at the recent El Campo regatta, has commenced training from the South End boathouse. The members of the Alameda Boating Club held a rather stormy meeting at their boathouse at the foot of Chestnuu street, Alameda, last evening, to settle the controversy between 8. J. Pembroke and J. Sansom, president of the club, over a seat in the P. A. A. as the club delegate. Three delegates from the P. A. A., J. Rothkopf of the Dolphins, J. Rheinhart of the University Boat Club and William Espy of the Pioneer Club, were to be on hand to try and settle the difficulty, but only one, William Espy, showed up. At the next meeting of the P. A. A. he will revort the elected candidate to the asso- ciation. Discussions at the meeting were warm and at times a free fight seemed inevita- ble. Pembroke thought that he was be- ing insulted bi; the officers of the club for di;q;lmlifying im as a club delegate after he had been elected by a vote of 22 to 5 at the last meeting of the association. But there were members present who thought that as he had missed two meetings—a club meeting and an association meeting —he didn’t properly represent the club, and as a consequence they elected Sansom in his stead.
