This will be hela under the auspices of the California Ath- letic Club, e wheelmen have arranged excellent rammes of sport for Sunday and Mon- The lovers of trap-shooting, so called, | will have a great day's outing on Sunday. The annual meeting of the California In- animate Target Association will be held at Alameda Junction shooting grounds.

Jones and Ziegler Will Meet Agaln at the ValleJo and San Joss Races. Thers are two big race meets to enter- tain the wheelmen to-morrow and Mon- day and the prospects are that both will be well attended by local enthusiasts although they' are held some distance away. To-morrow San Jose will make the first attempt at hclding a Sunday meet there under the auspices of the Gar- den City Cyclers, and Monday the Ariel Bicycle Club of Vallejo ‘will open its new track. or both meets there is a good pro- e, long entry list and valuable the second-named feature being in- v the first and last. The usual ex- on rate of §125 for the round trip to San Jose on Sunday will induce many to own in the morning, though several rties are being made up to ride down heel this afternoon on the Oakland side. The Vailejo excursion will be made by The steamer Monticello has been chartered, and for $1 one may make the Herbert D. Clark, Who Will Extol the Benefits of the C. A. C. C, to Southern Califor- nia Wheelmen, round trip and have admission to the races free. The steamer will leave Mis- sion-street wharf at 9:30 A, M., returning at 6 p. m. and midnight. Senator George E. Dixon and a crew of five will ride the sextuplet machine at Vallejo, a sight ‘which alone is worth the trip. The racers are in splendid condition for both these meets, having had all the tralning they require, and_some splendid racing shouid be seen. The meeting of Jones and Ziegler at both places will be watched with interest, as Ziegler claims he is going to wive out the onus of his de- feat by Jones last Sunday, and the latter confidently remarks that he don’t think he can do it. Herbert D. Clark of Alameda. who has gained considerable prominence in cycling circles here by reason of, his clever writ- ines on the sport, will spend the month of June in Southern California on his an~ nual vacation, and while devoting his time to recreation of course will find many oppcrtunities to extol the ben efits of the California Associated Cyeling Clubs to the wheelmen of that poriion of the State. Mr. Clark’s missionary work in this direction will be productive of much good in increasing the inaividual mem- bershiy of the assogiation in the south, The Eastern officials of the League of American Wheelmen are not gaing to let tue North California Division die for lack of attention if they can help it. Captain Strong, the new chief consul, who by the way has been alesgue memner for eighteen years, says that as soon as he can get the run of affairs he will give his attention to recruiting the membership and making up the lost ground. He feels corfident that the league will continue with a good memberskip in this State. He is not zoing 10 adopt a policy of fighting the C. A. , and says that many of its most prominent members are his personal friends. Of course there will beno race meets, as the C. A. C. C. controls that field now. Butin the way of roacbooks, tour- ing, hotel rates, lcgislative matters and the like there is much good that the league can do, and he proposes to direct its ener- gies in that direction. The latest bulletin of the racing board is as follows: [BULLCTIN No. 5.1 May 28, 1897.

Mr. | Dwyer is best remembered by the dele- | gates to the C. A. C.

He will be gone several weeks. SPALDING. e T THE PUGILISTS. Slavin and Butler Are In Great Condition for Monday Night's Battle. The only really good and interesting fight that the sporting fraternity may ex- pect to witness until the National Club gives its next entertainment will take place on Monday eveuning, under the aus- | pices of the California Athletic Ciub, at | Woodward’s Pavilion. Frank P. Slavin, the great beavy- weight, and Joe Butler, the colored pugi- list of PEiladelphia, will have a decidediy warm passage at arms. Slavin is un- | doubtedly one of the games! fighters that | ever stepped between the ropes of a ring, {-and as this will be the first time he has actually trained for a battle since his de- feat by Peter Jackson in England, his many admirers expeet to see him make short work of Butler. But the colored fellow must not be underrated. He is said to be as quick as a flash and hits like 1 a kicking mule. Butler has whipped some good men in the Kast, aod be says,and very confi- i dently, too, that he will have Slavin's scalp dangling from his beit before the end of the sixih round, There is one thing certain, and it isthat the fight will be a scorcher from go to finish. The pugilists are heavy punchers and_knockdowus will doubtless be many during the time of batie. This will be Slavin’s first appearance in Ban Fran- cisco, and as he will enter ihe“Ying in splendid fettle for a sharp and punishing nght, the yatrons of the game can count | upon seeing a great battle, Siavin has a long string of victories to his credit. He defeated Billy Farnum, | who was the only pugilist 1hat ever low- ered the colors of Peier Jackson. He also whipped Joe Goddard, *the Barrier cham- pion,” in one round; Joe McAuliffe in two rounds, Jake Kiirain in one round, Jim Hall in seven rounds, Frank Craig in | | not trained for any of them. one round, Mick Dooley in three rounds, and fought a four-round draw with Peter Maher. Slavin pays no sttention to the fights he has had in the East, as he had If he whips Butler be will be ready to meet Jeffries or any heavy-weight, bar none. According to Butier's record the colored pugilist must be a heavy puncher. The men who went down before bim are: Henry Baker, C. C. Smith (the “Thunder- bolt”), F. Craig, Joe Goddard, Ed Binney, Jim Daly, Protessor Banks, George Read- ing, George Williams and other lesser lights. If Butler wins he will send on a chal- lenge to fight Bob—Armstrong, who is “Parson’’ Davies’ protege. The preliminaries to Monday evening's entertainment shouid furnish gzood sport. Sammie Maxwell of Scotiand will meeu Frank Rafael in a ten-round bout and Ike Rubenstein of Sacramento wili meet for the second time Toz Cooney of Boston. As there is “bad” blood existing between the two last-named fighters a hurricane battie may be looked for. Who will now fight George Green? is a question that many people ask, but an- swers are scarce. Tommy Rysn is the only man who is a fit candidate for the job, but Ryan cannot do battls under 150 pounds and fight strong, consequently there is little hope Jo: Butler of Philadelphia and Frank Sla in size and anglers will note when they put up their rods after the day’senjoy- ment that the trout will run about haifa pound each in weight. 5 Ic is said that the large fishes, which were s0 plentiful last year, feil victims to the attacks of coons, cats and cranes last winter wnen they left the deep water for the spawning beds in the small streams that act as feeders to the lake. The former keeper of the lake, Mr. Kerr, who made a study of the fishes and their habits, lnvariably kept a sharp lookout for the breeders during the winter season, and when they became landlocked in some of the small pools of the streams he netted them out and returned them to deep water, thus saving great numbers of large trout. Doubtless Mr. Richardson, the present | keeper of the lake, who is most obliging to visitors, will look out for the fishes next winter. The Wilson spoon is, as formerly, a most killing lure. but anglers who prefer using the fly will find that good results will ac- crue from trolling a cast slowly aiony the west shores of the lake. Three small flies of midget size are best, and from an ex- perience two anglers had last Sunday the fly fancied most was a close imitation oi a mosquito—dark brown body, gray hackle and slate-color wing, size 16. Good reports have been received from Boulder Creek and some of its tributaries. Messrs. Cooper and Walker had good suc- cess last Sunday. The streams with.n easy reach of Ukiah and Cloverdale are now in excellent order for fly-fishing, and several city anglers who fished in the vi- cinity of Ukiab during the past week re- turned with well-filled baskets. It is said that the Fish Commissioners are taking thousands of bass fry from the of a meeting between Tom and George, Green says that he will not fight in futur - any opvonent who will scale over 145 pounds, and that if Ryan will agree to go him a twenty-round race at or under the welter-weight limit he can be accom- moaated. “They ail say that I cannot fight under 150 pounds,” said Green, **but I will fool the wiseacres when any of the welters will agree to eet me at weight. I am not a midale-weight_yet, but I guess after I am a little older I must tackie some of the light middle-weights, and perhaps I may beat some of them: too, who knows?”’ It was stated yesterday) that the Cali- fornia Athletic Club had signed “Kid” Lavigne to fight McKeever at catch- ;aights some time in the latter partof une. It will be remembered tbat McKeever had the besc of the “Kid” in an_gngage- ment they had in delphia some time ago, and now the “Kid"’ is desirous of a return match, He will find a hard nut to crack when he meets McKeever, unless he alters his idea of fighting at catchweights. In first-class condition La- vigne will fight at 138 pounds, but in this glorious chmate pugilists run up in weight, and doubtless “‘the Kid’’ will scale 140, which will be about five pounds less than his opponent will scale. McReever will develop during his sojourn on this coasi, Consequentiy there is no telling whet weight he may fighu at when he en- ters the ring next. There is very little said of the Olympic fights. 0;Donnell is training bard for his contest with Greggains, but judging from the recoras of the fizhters there should be one man in the game, and his name teve.” O'Donnellis a more polished fighter than Greggeins and having more science, height, weight and experience it is hard to imagine where Greggains will get off, unless it is on the small side of Lhe purse. His only hope of success isin punching—thatis, if he can—the heart out of O'Donnell before Steve gets a move on. History says that when O'Donnell is scoring a lead he makes short work of his opponent, but he cannotrelish an up- hill game. A THE ANGLER. Why the Trout of San Andreas Lake Are Smzll This Year. The San Andreas Lake will receive a good dragging Sunday and Monday, not by ne as may be supposed, bupt by spoons and spinners attached to the ends of silk lines. Sunday will inaugur: the opening of the fishing season at that lake, althouzh the water company did not provose to issue permits until July 1. The fishes sverage very small this year Russian River, and local anglers are pro- testing against what they call “too much of & good thin " e THE YACHTSMAN. The Callfornlas and the Corin- thlans Will Hold Regattas To- Morrow and Monday. On Monday next the Corinthian Yacht Club will hold its twelfth annual regatta. The owners of the different boats have gone to great trouble and expense to put their yachts in winning trim, and as the interest is unabated the races on Decora- tion day should be the pest that have ever been seen on our bay. On the first beat to the Presidio Shoal buoy it will be a flood-tide race, but as it is high tide at 1:10 . m. at Fort Point the chances are that a strong ebb will be run- ning when the boats beat out for the sec- ond time. In the first class the principal struggle should pe between the Eliaand the Sveed- well, as the Clara has not been sailing in her true form, owing to the number of alterations she has underzone. The Speedweil points higher and will probably gain a great deal on the beat to winaward, but the Elia should make up the time in the run and the reach. Ed Donohoe has lightened the Speed- well by removing about twelve hundred pounds of ballast, so as to give the boat greater buoyancy and speed. The Pride’s topmast and rigging have been removed, and Eidie Lathrop thinks his aiteration will be a great improve- ment. The Pride has never been properly tried out, but Lathrop will surely get out all the speed that is in her. Judging from the performance of the boats up to date the Speedwell should wir. In the second class the race will be be- tween the Harpoon and Queen. The Har- poon has this season shown herself to be a much improved boat and should easily win out. In the 30-foot class ex-Commodore Pew has decided not to race his Truant, but he will sail the Zoius. The latter boat has been fitted with a new weighted centerboard, which it is hoped wiil greatly steady her in a blow uand improve her sailing qualities. Numerous changes have also been made on the Amigs, which have greatly im- proved her, as was seen by the fine show- ing she made in the opening cruise. She will be sailed by Frank Stone. The Mignon is an excellent heavy-’| weather boat, and in a heavy biow will surely rive a good account of herself. The & lus should win in her class. In the 25-foot class the Pheenicia stands the best chance of winning. In the 20-foot class the boats are mostly new and it is difficult to get a line on them. If there is a hard blow some of the latter may not start, but nothing less than a hurricane will prevent Frank Baker from sailing over the course in bLis Phyilis. In the yawl class the Guinevere proved herself to be a fast boat in the last regatta and will probably win. Gl THE ' GUN. Teams That WIill Shoot In the Tournament on Sunday and Monday. Quite a number of sportsmen from the rural districts are now in this City waiting for the opening day of the much-talked- of tonrnament of the California Inani- mate Target Association, which will com- mence on Sunday and will end on Mon. day.

Fifteen gentlemen representing amateur athletic interests of this State met ]“f night in executive session in the directors’ room of the Olympic Club. The principal point of discussion was as to the relative standing of clubs devoted to general athletics and those devoted to some special branch of the same. The meetinz was a unit in the senti- ment that clubs which are devoted to spe- cial athletics, such as boxing clubs, row- ng clubs, bicycle clubs, etc., should not have the same representation in the new association as clubs, associations, universi- ties, etc., devoted to general atnletics. It was agreed that it would be better for the special clubs to forin an assuciation of their own. The object of the proposed organization is ultimately to relieve amateur athletics irom the evil influences of professional sport. Baid Chairman W.P.
