Next Wednesday evening the National Athletic Club will entertain gentlemen of sporting proclivities at Woodward’s Pa- vilion, The club has a first-class card and donbtless the place of amusement will be filled to overflowing with pleasure-hunt- ers. Asalready stated, George Green, the clever Californian welter-weight, will en- gage in a passage-at-arms with Charley McKeever, who by the way is ranked as the most polished exponent of the manly rt east of the big mountains. McKeever is a Philadelphian and his record of win- nings stamps him as being a remarkable fighter. Sporting men who have seen McKeever in battle siate that he is an extraordinary quick fighter and that he uses excellent udgment. Green will have an advantage in weight of probably eight or ten pounas, and the handicap in his favor in this particular leads nuany of the sports to the opinion that he should win, as he is rnnlt{ed s being just as clever as his oppo- nent. There are, however, some authorities on the game who contend that the Cali- fornian will not go twenty rounds if the battle be hard fought from the start. They advance in the way of argument the fights that Green had with Tracey and Smith. One of the prominent sports of this City said in the presence of a number of peo- pie a few evenings ago a sporting re- sort that Green was fading away in the ninth and tenth rounds of bis fight with Tracey and that 1f the contestsuad been twenty rounds instead of ten -Tracey would have won the batile, Then when Green fought Smith in Carson he wi growing weak when Smith quit fighting. It must be remembered, however, that those fixhts were Lard ones, especially the Tracey fight. which was of the hurricane order of thumping from start to finish. Green is improving with age and if he fails to receive a verdictin his favor on Wednesday evening his numercus friends will be sadly disappointed. The bettin; is 2 to 1 with McKesever on the short end. Tbe California Club_will introduce for the first time in thi s City on the evening of the 3lst inst. Frank P. Slavin, the pu- gilist who gave Pater Jackson such a hard battle in England. Blavin was whipped, but wnen the contest came toan end Jack- 80n was in a very bad condition. In fact, the wonderful colored pugilist did not re- cover from the punisiment hereceived for many days after the batt e, and it will be remembered that he has not fought a mill worthy of any mention since that time, Siavin neglected himself, and for many months after his defeat be live | a wild life, which was fast making inroads on his magnificent constitution. He left Eng- land for America about two years ago, and while in New York he continued the pace that kills for some months. Finally he days’ outing, something we have not had realized that too much of a good time was not conducive to either health or wealth, and he resolved “to brace up'’ and have another try for championship honors. Within the past iwelve months Slavin has improved in health and although he has met with some reverses he is stila dangerous man in the ring. Judging from his looks and general appearance now he shou!d give a first-ciass account of himself when he mensures arms with Joe Butler, the colored Hercules of Phila- on Monday, May 3L is training at the Seal Rock House and his prospective opponent is located in San Rafael with Maxwell, who is matched to fight Frank Ralfael on the same evening. Butler's record says that he has de- feated Smith, “‘the Thunderbolt,” in three rounds; Henry Baker in 1 minute and 32 seconds, Joe Goddard in three rounds, and on the 3d inst. he put George Wil- liams to sleep in one round. The Olympic Club has matcted Billy Smith of Australia and Baker, the fizhter who was whipped by Jeffrizs, for July. Emd i ds THE ANGLER. Why Coast Streams Should Be Largely Stocked With Trout Fry. Trout fishing in the coast streams this summer bas been very poor. In fact the sport is annually becoming less interest- ing, aud anglers are wonderinz why they cannot journey to their favorite streams as in former years and return with some- thing like a decent catch of fish. They forget, however, that there are new anglers born daily and that yearly new faces are seen on favorite warters. Angling is becoming quite a fad, and as the army increases the trout family gradu- ally decreases. It the anglers of this City, who are many, shouid form a club possibly the Fish” Commissionsrs would give some at- tention to their sugeestions, as in unity there is strength. Tue CaLs has always contended that the streams which are fished the most persistently should be stocked largely every year. The Lagunitas, Paper Mill, Sonoma, Purissima and Los Gatos creeks should be stockad with thousands of trout fry at least twice a year, and the stocking whould be under the supervision of some official who understands his business. Ina recent publication of an Eastern journal, which is devoted to the sports of Tod and gun, there appearsa very inter- esting communication from a fish cul- turist, in which it is stated that it is only alossof time and money to stock trout streams with trout fry that are not at least eight or nine months old. The writer contends that the dumping of baby fry into trout streams means only a waste of fishes. Doubtiess the Fish Commissioners will stock largely the coast streams that are fished most next year. The Spring Valley Water Company will issue permits to stockholders who desire to fish in San Andreas Lake on Sunday, the 30th inst. Charley Precht caught a beautifcl basket of fish last Sunday at Point Reyes. The trout at the “White House” are of | good size and will take the fly only. In the morning and evening the fishing is reported as being first class. The following catches were made at the Geysers last week: Frank Jordan of Alameda and_ H. Mason of Oakland, 820; Juke Vassar, 57; J. Marsden of Honoluly, 35; A. Vogelsang, John Siebe and W, D. Mansiicld, of San Francisco, 150, Total, ‘T'he following catches were also made at Pieta Creek during this week: R. Cantel, 54; P. Bargagliotti, 80; C. Cantel, 50; Ed J. Dunn and Mr. Richardson, of San Francisco, big catches. Angling at Glen Ellen continues to in- crease in interest. Boniface Harrison of the Mervyn reports good catches daily and es that the trout are already mo: ngerlings.” Two persistent lad, are bringing in messes of ni twenty nice fish every day, and “still they come.” —— THE OARSMEN. Crews In Actlve Tralning for the EI Campo Regatta, to Take Place May 30. 5 The members of the South End Rowing Club are looking forward with great inter- est to the club regatta which is to take place on Sunday morning, May 30. The three junior crews have been train- ing hard for the pasttwo weeks and as great rivalry exists between them an in- teresting race is expected. Following ia the list of those who have entered up to the presen: date: Senior skiff race—Frank Duplissea and Dr. Dennis. Junior skiff race—James Foley, George Fox, Henry Bo Matthew ' Breen, Ciarles Cutter and Thomas Barry. In the junior shell event Robert Mc- Arthur is the only entry, but Ed Shortall and Joseph O'Day are to be heard from. In the senior barge event the losing crew will pay for s French dinner. The midgets will row in the same positions, with Frank Duplissea stroke, Gus Carson afterwaist, Bob McArthur forwardwaist and Henry Bode bow. Their opponents, known as the new senior crew, will row in the following vositions: Ed Scully, .stroke; George Bates, afterwaist; Matt Breen, forward- waist; James Pallas, bow. The three junior crews are composed of the following: Crew No, 1—Herbert Hawkins, stroke; Will Mead, afterwaist: Frank Reichiing, forward- Frank Tobin, bow. Crew No. 2—Joe Lyons, stroke; Alex Mc- George, afterwaist; Will Fox or Jim Nealon, forwardwais:; Wili Meherin, now. Crew No. 3—T. 1. Filzpatrick, stroke; Hugh Mclsaac, aiterwaist; George Fox, forward- waist; Joe Campodonico, bow. George McGrill, Doc Fiynn and Frank J. Burke act as cockswains. 1tis now a certainty that George Phelan of the Ariels will enter the senior skiff race; in fact, he is having a boat built especially for this event. This will bring about the long-looked-for struggie between he and McCa d. Among the oth material that is striving for entry in the senior event may be mentioned James ‘Wilson and G. Wutkoff. clélk: clm nb:h-ll race u:o:ldid “’monl ln; wi Tepresen and Watkcft. " ety Andrew Carroll and C. McAuliffe will enter for the junior skiff. A junior barge crew is now in constant Archie training, the personnel bein; Connell Taylor, G. T. McGuiness, James and C. Bulger. There is much speculation concerning who will comprise the senior barze crew. If Phelan and McCausland can be pre- vailed upon to enter, the chances of lbectln a winning crew will be much righter. The club is anxiously awaiting the com- pletion of its new barge, to be ready in & few days. If it proves as fast as is ex- pected it will doubtless be an added en- couragement to the aspiring oarsmen. STOCKTON, CaL., May 21.—At a meet- ing of the directors of the Stockton Ath- letic As<ociation last evening it was de- cided to havea regatta on Stockton Chan- nel on the coming Fourth of July. or rather, on July 5, since the National holi- day fails on Sunday, A bicycle race on the afternoon of the 5th was agreed upon large to-morrow, and doubtless the races will be c’ose and excitinz.

THE YACHTSMEN. The Entries for the Corinthian Re- gatta on Decoration Day Have Been Flled. The last gruise of the Corinthians was a great success. The boats haa several lively brushes, notably among which was the race between the Elia and Pride. Captain Ames made a boast that if the Eliadid not outsail the Pride he would jump into the bay. Now the confident mariner is sorry that he spoke, for the tars on board the Pride have called upon him to make good his boast.

The California Branch <olds Its Annual Meet ng. The California Branch of the Women's Auxiliary and the Board of Missions held their annual all-day meeting in St. Paul'y Episcopal Church yesterday. The morn- ing session was devoted to the celebrating of the holy communion by Bishop Nichols and a sermon by the Rev. C. L. Miel, rec- tor of St. Paul’s Church, Sacramento. His text was: *I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lora.” Mr. Miel spoke of the pain and the pleas- ure ot work—of unconscious work and work the result of p: of the visible and invisible effects, of faithfal activity. He closed with an appeal (o the members of the auxiliary to continue their work hope- fully unto the end. A'lunch was -erved to the auxiliary by the lad:es of 8t. Paul’s. The afternoon session was called to order by the president of the auxiliary, Mrs. Newlands. The reports of the var ous officers were then read, showing in many ways a decided improvement over the reports of 1896. During the year $587866 has been raised by the auxiliary and 1ts many branches. The Bishop then made s short address, in which he said he hoped the ladies would be able to raise the necessary $50 a month for an arc deacon.
