Numerous Road and Track Events for the Cyclers To-Morrow. Another Sunday comes to-morrow and | with it more than the usual quota of | wheelmen’s races. There will be taree | road events at San Leandro, those of the | Acme, Imperial and Barker clubs, and | the first two named will be star attrac- | tions. The track racers will also have | their day at Vallejo, the occasion being the second meet of the Ariel Bicycle Club on its six-lap board track. The eventsare as follows: One-third, one-half and one mile open, protessional, and a match race for the amateur championship of Solano County between Winchell, Bruce, McCau- ley and McKay, mile heats, best two in three.

M. The annual twenty-mile road race of the Associated Clubs, to be held around the triangle at San Leandro on Sunday, July 11, 1s sharing the attention given to race meets of an earlier date, because of its importance. This event ranks second only to the famous relay race. There has been considerable just complaint this yi at the ruling of the race committee in limiting the pace-making for this race, | which shouid really be a paced affair, and | the question has arisen whether the com mittee has such right. If they have it is a misiake o use i, as there is bound to be illegal pacing in the race, and one would think Mr. Adams and his confreres had nad enough trouble about protests and the like not to lay tnis race open to the very evil of which they have complained” fn previous ones when it can be easily avoided. The demand of the times is for paced races, that the men riay be drawn out to their very best ef- iorts, and the twenty-mile road record of the world is within the grasp of the C. A. C. C. if its road-racing committee will sanction unlimited pacing in this race, as it should ao. Entries for the race close with Mr. Adams next Saturday noon. Each club contesting is Invited to submit the names of two tandem teams, from which the official pacemakers will be selected, and will also be permitted to name one judge. These names must be sent to the com- mittee not later than Wednesday, June 30. The Pacific Cycling Club held its annual meeting recently, at which the foilowing officers were elecied: President, Ernest E. Erbe; vice-president, Lawrence W. Pryor; | secretary-treasurer, Herbert R. Hioks; captain, Adolph Herbst; lieutenant, Dan’ iel Bourk, The club is in a flourishing condition. There is some prospvect of Walter C. | Sanger, the great Milwaukee rider, com- ing to the coast after his Denver engage- ments. Since his defeat of that remark- able plugger, Hachenberger, last Satur- day, he has been beset with challenges. He has signed to ride W. W. Hamulton | three races unpaced, at one, two and five miles, on July 16 and 17, aiter which he may come further westward. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold aclubrun to iocoloma, Marin County, to-morrow, under Captain Hadenfeldt an¢ Lientenants Spiliane and Smith. They will leave on the 9 A. M. Sau-alito boat. This is a picturesque trip, and as the roads are said to be good a large num- ber should attend. The Garden City Cyclers will again try their hands at racing under slectric lights and will hold a big meet on their cele- brated three-lap track at San Jose next Wednesday evening. The events are s 1wo-thirds of a mile handicap and one- mile scratch, amateur; a two-thirds of a mile handicap, professional, and a match race, best two in three, mile heats, be- tween the crack professionals, Allan Jones and Hardy Downing. The entry list 1s a representative ome and includes some of the best riders in tne State. The track will be well lighted, and a reduction in the price of admission should further help to swell the crowd. It yin be a gala night for the cyclers in San ose. The Terminal City Wheelmen of Stock- ton will hold a ten-mile handicap road race on Sunday, July 4, unier the sanction of the California Associated Cycling Clubs. The Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra- mento have decided to hold a one-day meet, and that on July 5, so there will be 10 place for the riderstoassemble on Sun- day, the 4th. The majority will probably 20 to Sacramento in advancea day or two, however, (o get the advantage of training on the track ihey are going to race upon. Entries for this meet close Monday. The programme for the Sacramento mees includes five events, viz.: One mile novice, one mile open and one mile hadi- cap; professional, two-thirds of a mile open, and one mile handicap, amateur. Thiss bould prove a splendid card. The East Oakland Wheelmen have post- poned their road race which wasscheduled for to-morrow. | B. | "Miss Dorothy Pendergast, cap There will be a meet at Fresno on events being a sirictly amateur July 5, the two-mile handi- cap, one-mile scratch, five-mile scratch paced and one mile novice.

Russ, the swift Olympic amateur, has retired from the track for the time being and will take a boliday for a while. He will race again in August and Septem- | ber. The following are the entries and hand- dicaps for the five-mile road race of the Imperial Cycling Club, to be held over the Haywards course to-morrow morning at10:30: I R. Lind, W. Maack and E. A.

Bozio, prepared the handicaps and also arranged the prize list, which is a | | were mentioned ascounties in which the season for shooting game birds and ani- mals was curtailed. It has since been learned that the ordinances which were passed by the Supervisors of these coun- ties have expired by limitation; conse. quently the State law as it now reads will cover both Alameda and Napa counties. The season for shooting grouse and moun- tain quail will open on September 1 and not on September 15, as stated. Every sportsman should keep a copy of the report of the changes that have been made in the State ]aw by the Supervisors of the different counties, as the seasons have been shortened in many of them. The game wardens will keep a sharp look- out for deer, dove and quail shooters in their respective counties. Ata meeting of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors, which met yesterday, Messrs. M. C. Ailen and J. T. Lemon, on behaif of the sportsmen and anglers of this City, mads a strong plea for the appointment of a game warden for this City and County. The matter was taken under advisement, but it is koped that the Supervisors will consider it favor- ably. S{vernl valuable dogs have been poi- soned in Sausalito recently and the sports- | men of “the City of Birds” have raised a | subscription for the detection and arrest of the person or persons who scatter poi- soned meats for the dogs.

The Empire Gun Ciub will meet at its thooting grounds, Alameda Point, to- morroy, and the direciors promise all sportsmen who will attend a first-class outing. The regular monthly free-for-all shoot of the Reliance Gun Club will be held to- morrow also at the Webster-street grounds, Alameda, and there will be four special events, the most important of which will be a twenty-bird race, with $20 added money. Shooting will commence promptiy at 10 . ». The Olympic Gun Club will convene at Ingleside to-morrow and live birds will be used instead of tne inanimate targets. It was rumored that the humane society would interfere with the sport, but from latest advices the shooters will not be molested, as the society is of the opinio that pigeon-shooting from traps is not a brutal as some people attest, On July 4 the California Wing Cleb will pepper _live biras at Ingleside, the En- cinal Club will shoot clay birds at Birds Point, the Golden Gate Ciub will make a noise at Alameda Junction; but the prin- cipal feature of the day’s sport will be the open-to-all tournament which will be beid under the auspices ot the Monterey Wing Shooting Club at Monzerey. In a report in Wednesday’s CaLL of the changes that have been made in the game laws by the Supervisors of the different counties of this State, Alameda and Napa Cyling road race to-morrow handicaps, are: D. The race should be productive | missioners’ office in the Flood building. | of fast time if the course is at all good. At a recent session of the club some mem- ber suggested thata representative should appear as a contestant in the Chicago fiy- casting tournament, which will be held in August, After discussing the question at lengih it was decided that at the next meeting of the club, which will be on Tuesday evening, a resoiution to that effect wiil be offered, and doubtless it will be carried unanimously, a= the club is very anxious 10 prove to the satisiaction and edification of its Eastern brother- that Califoruia can hold its own iy and in the very best of com- vany in contests either at long-distance casting or casting for accuracy and deli- cacy. Messrs. Golcher and Mansfield are among the members of the club who can whip a fly over 100 feet of water with con- summate ease, and If necessary the gen- tlemen mentioned, with a slight lubrica- tion of their elbow joints, may run up a few more feet to their credit. Of course, this wiil all depend upon the company they may meet in competitive casting. There are several very expert “‘accuracy ana delicacy” casters in the club and indeed, there is no reason why the fly- casting club of San Francisco should not be represented by at least one member at the great Chicago tournament. W. F. Whittier and party and J. G. Edwards and son will spend a few weeks fisning on the Sacramento River, in the vicinity of Castle Crags. Flv-fishinx will be poor on the McClond River from now until the latter part of September. The trout are keeping close company with the salmon and will feed on salmon roe for the next three months, John Gallagher, the cuampion spoon- caster of Oakland; Jobn Butler, the champion salmon-roe caster of this City, and Dr. von Hoffman are enjoying royal sport in the Big Meadow country. W. R. McFarland, P. M. Cox, T. Eis- feldt and Al Newman were prospecting for striped bass last Sunday in Alameds Canyon and Mc: nd had & most vovel experience. He was up with the birds and in his boat bright and early, bent on iving the pass a good trial. After troll- ng for some time the reel gave him warn- ing that something was doing, and grasp- ine the butt end of his steel rod he struck his fish. Out went the line and away went the boat with the tide. The fish kept close to the bottom of the lagoon, but was travel- ing fast. The angler, finally growing tired of the strain, gave Mr. Fish the butt of the rod—an old trick of anglers—and the denizen of the deep turned in its course and stopped short. All efforts on the part of the angler could not stir it for fully half an hour. Finally Mr. Cox, who is probably betier known as “Doc,” came to the assistance of his friend. ““What huve vou got there, anyhow?"’ askea “Doc” of Mac. “Don’'t know—don’t know what it is,” excitedly answered the tired angler, “but we must land 1t; dow’t matter if it is the Pproverbial sea serpent.’” The fish was landed finally after one bour’s hara work, and it proved to be an 80-pound stingaree. The anglers were not very anxious to handle the “beauty” of the deep until they had emptied six chambers of a revelver into its hea When Mr. Stingaree was dead beyond a doubt, the “‘Doc” held a post-mortem and decided that the fish should ve attended to its own affairs and not have meddled with anglers’ lures. Six young stingarees were taken from the fish, and the string, which measured three inches in length, will be presented to John Butler on bis return from the mountains. The “Doc” was not to be outdone by his companion. An hour after the cap- ture of the stinparee, he hooked and landed a four-foot leopard-shark, which gave him, as he stated, enough ‘“‘reeling up” to satisfy his curiosity for the sport for weeks to come. THE SPECKLED BEAUTY. In brookler's icy deeps, For the fly, Now the trout before he leaps Skins his eye. For he fancies ia his speckels, All equivalent to freckels, That he knocks the urban sheckles High and dry. On the hyperbolic curve ee him jump, Like the milkmaa full of nerve At the pump. And the ang.er’s madly spitting Wi.d profanity beficting The occasion while he's sitting On the stamp. Now, this youtbsome, toothsome fish, Spick and span, Asthe dainty of the dish Leads the van. And he makes the joet flutter When hix tail beginsto spuster In the bacon or the butter Of ihe pan. Oh, the trout's a bigger fish Than the whale. There is music in the swish his tail *Neath his light the perch and catfish And.he thin fish and the fat fish And the fishball and the fat fish All must paie. For the “speckled beauty” hip, H1p, hooray— Forhe makes our fancies skip In the play. From our plssine visions never Can the trout his giory sever— He's the fish of fish forever Anu aday. £ K. MUNKITTRICK in Western Fiel — - THE PUGILISTS. Schemers Are Arranging for An- other Veriscops Entertainment at Carson City. Jobn L. Sullivan is really anxious to fight Fitzsimmons, not for “blood,” but for the kinetoscope or veriscope profits. Sullivan is well aware that he is a aead bird so far as prize-fighting is concerned, but he has nevertheless a bright idea which may met him a snug sum in the sweet by-and-by. There are thousands of people who will pay 25 cents 1o take a peep at big John in bis wild attempts at boring holes in the atmosphere when striving to land right d left swings at the champion’s head. Fiizsimmons has an interest in the pres- ent 'scope, but he has no particular objec- tion to adding to his exchequer, es- pecially when the game iseasy. Sullivan has started in to take off adi- pose tissue at Billy Muldoon’s ranch, but the retired wrestler wiil not pat poor oll John through a very severe test, as there may be danger in too much hard work, now that Sullivan has passed the me- ridian. Doubtless the contest—if it ever | takes place—will be decided at Carson. The color of the scheme that is being concocted by Bastern sports is easily dis- cernable. Sullivan and Fitzsimmons and Skarkey and Maher will about form the | combination. The former pair will spar | six friendly rounds, and the Irishmen will | “do battle” to a finish. It is certain that the fistic tournament { will not end successfully—that is from a | financial point of view—as there will not be sufficient interest taken in the matches by the sporting men of this City (o guar- antee the presence at the ringside of 100 people from this vicinity. ‘Who would care to see Fifzsimmons do- ing a cakewalk with bigJohn, and who would care to see Sharkey in a rough-and- tumble engagement with Peter Maher? The lovers of ring sports have been educated up to a high standard of scien- tific pugilism, and it is very sale to say that the patrons of the game in this City will not squander time or money in a trip | to Carson to see a hippodrome between hl{pndromeru. 'he Olympic Club has wisely concluded to give professional pugilism ““the shake,” -ng in the future the ciub will amuse and interest its members at home. Several 00d amateur boxing contests will be beld in the club gymuasium in July and mem- bers only will be afforded an opportunity of seeing them. The California Club will give a profes- sional entertainment 8t Woodward's Gar- dens on the evening ot July 2. e s O THE YACHTSMAN. The Zolus and Fawn Will Race To- Day for the Perpetual Chal- lenge Cup. The unfinished race between the yachts Zolus and Fawn for the perpetual chal- lenge cup will be over the same course this afternoon. The committee, profiting by last Satur- day’s race, have set a limit of four hours in which the race must be sailed. At the first leg out to Blossom Rock it will be a ebb tide race, and by the time the boats round the rock there will prob- ably be flood tide. Jack Short will not sail on the ZEolus during the race owing to the death of his grandfather, but his place will be filled by Eddy Lathrop, the popular secretarv of the Corinthians and the commander of the Pride. The Corinthians will leave to-night for Marin Isiands. It wes the intention of the club to have & race there for boats under twenty feet, but owing to the heavy winds which prevail at this time, it has been postponed until later in the season. The Californias will hold their annual club regatta to-morrow for the Wallace trophy. A large number of boats have enterad, and a great race is lool for. Ata meeting of the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association last month it was de- cided to hold the second annual cruise at Vallejo, on Sunday, July 4 The pro- lgr-mmo ‘arranged for the day iz as fol- lows: “Upon assembling at Vallejo, as above, the captains will, immediately after colors, at 8 A.M., report for orders on board the commanding officer's yacht, which will be distinguished by the asso- ciation’s pennant flown at the main truck. The success of the cruise last season justi- nd Stresm. fies & hope that the one of this year will bo an event long remembered by yachis- men.” — CRICKET CHIRPS. Portland Players Will Follow the Exampie of the Local Clubs. The Redding cricketers had a match on the diamond jubilee day, the opposing teams being the Keswick and Redding clubs. The former is composed of the staff of the Mountain Copper Company at Keswick and was under the leadership of Captain Bridge. The latter was captained by W. W. Grabam. Lewis T. Wright, general manager of the company, and R. N. Truman, manager of the catering de- partmént, directed the entertainment of the guests.

The Sunnyside Improvement Club held a rousing meeting Wednesday night on Circular avenue. President Eugene Dasse stated that the time had arrived when the property own- ersin the Sunnyside should demand in réspectful language their share of the ap- propriations in improving the City on that side of the Mission. What was most wanted, he said, was a school-nouse large emough for 200 chil- dren. " The question of opening a street from the Sunnyside slope to the Mission road, west of the House of Correction, came up. To obtain this the following petition w: presented for signatures: To the Honorable the Supervisors, ete.—GENTLE- MEN: The undersigned members of the Sunny- side district. Lake View and Ingleside im- provement ciubs do most respectfully petition your honorable body (o set aside for the pur- Pose of a street fifty feet of the westerly end of the House of Correction tract, said line run- ning from its northerly end to Ocean avenue, The opening oi said street would be of last ing benefit to said district and would give an outlet o the residents of Sunnyside district, which they are without at present. That the entire cost to the City would be OPEN GAMBLING HAS STOPPED The Grand Jury Expressed Its Conviction to That Effect. Credit Given the Police for the Enforcement of the Laws in That Direction. The Slot Machine Spoken Of as an Evil That Should Be Sup- pressed at Once. The Grand Jury yesterday received a big batch of reports from its standing committees, the most interesting of which was that of the committee on gambling. The report, having properly introduced 1tself, runs as follows: Under the guidance of a competent officer of the police force, who Was most familiar With tae Tesorts of the gambling fraternity, they have been ensbied to visit most of the known Tesorts existing in the City for gambling pur- poses and to investigate the methods em- 10y ed. P'3% Tegards the white population the investi- gation was almost barren of results, as we were informed by the proper authorities—the Police Department—that all places of ques- tionable resort had been closed. far as we can ascertain by pretty thor- ough investigation, those desirous of risking their money on gambling devices resort openly to the racetrack, pugilistic encounters, stocks, and the various methods not amenabie 10 the'iaw : o to private games of cards, hence beyond the reach of the law, because per- mitted. Your committee would most respectfully suggest that the racetrack, with its attendant devices of bookmaking, pool-seiling and other methods by which large sums of money are lost and won, receive particular attention from this Grand Jury; to the end that the iaw be more strictly enforced and greater restric- tions placed ou gembling methods in commo use. As a vice it is too widespread, and its evils 100 well known 1n this community to call for more than a suggestion «t our hand: The attention of this Graud Jury is &lso d rected o the form of gambling, in & small way, by the device known as thesiot machine. These machines are in universal use and may be found in mnearly every saloom, cormer grocery and cigar-stand 1 the City, and from such obsarvations as we have made they have superseded many of tne other forms of gam- biing and have become most populsr. The results of this form of gambling, so openly conducted, so general in its use and o popu- iar, on the'youth of this City seem to be over- looked; nevertheless to the City boys, sccus- tomed to the universal use of the nickel, it is a wonderful attraction and 1ts effect on them mest deplorable, for certainly a_more perfect school for gambiing could not have been in- vented. A member of this committee received a visit 1 have a young son earning smail wages to heip support himseif and tie family, but lately he has contracted the nabit of pui- ting a portion of all hisearnings in the nickel- he-slot machine, and he has become 8o fas- cinated with the game and the habitis so strong we cannot break him of it; won't you Grand Jury gentiemen please do something to suppress these gambliug machines and save other boys as well, for they are all learning to play tne game.” / The influcnce of this device én the general publicis most pernicious, and in view of the common good we would most respectfully sug- gest that the attention o1 the proper authori- ties be directed 1o this matter that steps may be taken to correct the evil. In the case of the Chinese we visited most or all of the resorts known to the police, or to slight, and that in proportion to the cost the advantages of such a road or street would be reat. ¥ Hoping you will grant this request st your earliest consideration, we remain, respect- fully yours. In connection with this road ex-Mayor Sutro was requested to permit the cutting of Sunnyside avenue through his land. This, however, he declined to do on the eround that the property was for sale, with a parchaser in sight who objected. Should the Supervisors grant the land asked for, R. Moore, secretary of the Sun- nyside Land Company, bas promised to deed four lots of 25 feet for the benefit of the proposed roadway. The club also wantsa roadway from Spreckels avenue to Ocean avenue as an opening in a westerly direction. It wants a tannel cut under the Southern Pacific Railroad Company’s line from Berkshire and Bosworth streets to the Mission road. & On motion of Charles Miller a vote of thanks was tendered to THE CALL for its attention and fair representation of the wants of not unly the peovle of Sunny- side but those of every -ection of the City. This motion was carriea by a rising vote. ——— THE San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- wey will run a special excursion to Uxiah next Sunday, June 27, for which the charge will be only $2 for the round trip.

The Chinese act on the principle tha nal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Ssnti- nels are always posted to alarm ihe inmates, and the utmost ingenuity is displayea in in venting means of escape and avoiding cap- ture by means of trap doors, secret paneis and various other avenues, by which not only are the occupants spirited’ away but all evidences and gambling devices are removed before the officers of the law can gain entrance. In conclusion yovr committee would most respectfully state as the result of their invest- igation the conviction that to the enforcement of the laws prohibiting gambiing by the po- Iice of this City is due the fact that open gam- bling resorts such as the law contemplates no longer exist. CUDWORTAH, H. W. HANNEMANN. JaMES FOGARTY. The committee on jails reported they were all well ke ut that jail 1 was old and should be repiaced by a new building; branch 2 should have an electric light plant, which could be supplied for $2000, and would effect a saving of $40 per week. A number of prisoners were kept tbere who ought to be in the home for feeble- minded. The most pressing need there is that of employment for the prisoners. The committee calls upon the philan- thropical to suggest some means by which they may be kept busy. A committee investigating the Record- er's office reported a leaky roof and the plaster falling off. The needs of the office were presented in a long communication from the Recorder, in which a new steel safe was named as of the first importance, and after that an electric light system and a heating apparatus. The Pubiic Ad- ministrator and the Registrar were com- mended on the conduct of their offices. The parks and squares committes made several recommendations, among them being closets “'in every square of the City and County, particularly for the use of children who play in these squares.” LITTLE PETE'S KILLING, The Jury Failing to Agree Is Locked Up for the Night, The last Legisiature enacted a statute which caused considerable delay in sub- mitting Judge Carroll Cook’s charge to the jury in the case of Chun Woon Sing, indicted for the murder of “Little Pete.’ Under the old law a trial Judge had the privilege of delivering his charge orally, but now the entire document must be in writing before it is given to the jurors. Judge Cook would have been fully pre- pared to proceed if ex-Judge D. J. Murphy, representing the defendant, had not sprung a big surprise by declining to make an argument.
