Imperial Cycling Club—Run to San Mateo. san Francisco Road Olub—Run to Six- Mile House. g | The principal event in cycling circles | to-morrow is the fhve-mile handicap road race of the California Cycling Club, which will be run at 11 o’clock in the morning over the San Leandro-Haywards course. There are twenty-nine men, whose names were given in THE CarL last Wednesda who bave been in active training for this | race for some time past, and as they are 81l now in excellent shape the race should be run in record time. Captain Robbins will take overa club' run of the California members, who are | not entered in the race, on the 9-o’clock | broad-gatige boat. | The membership of the North California | Division, League of American Wheelmen, 1s now down to 840 odd from 1700, which it numbered up to March 1. The member- | ship of the California Associated Cycling | Cluos is 737 and increasing steadily. The association has but to gain fifty more new members, with the likelihood of the league losing an equal number, and they will then meetand pass each other, where- | upon the organized cyclists here will have | # great jollification in honor of the event. | It will but the realization of Judge Kerri- | gan’s prophecy that the association would | have Juore members than the league | within six months after its inception. The next meeting of the board of gov-| ernors of the California Associated Cy- cling Clubs will be held Saturday evening, August 7, at Stockton instead of Oskland. The board wiil then have an opportunity | to confer with the Stockton wheelmen | upon matters of general cycling interest and will attend the watermelon run of the Terminal City Wheelmen the following d Sunday, the 8th. he San Francisco Road Club will have a clambake at Brown’s Retreat, the six- mile house on the San Bruno road, to- morrow. Captain J. 8. Lewis bas called a run, to leave the clubhouse at 11 A. M. All friends of members are cordially invited. The board of governors of the Associ ated Cy g C.ubs might discuss the de- | sirability of holding the association’s annaual theater party at its next meeting. This is about the tima of the year when tbat gala event is due. The annual joint run (Remember the one to Niles?) should also come about this time. These, to- gether with the questions of future racing | and the increase of individual member- | ship, should all be given careful consider- ation at the meeting at Stockton August 7. Charles A. Kraft of the Bay City W heel- men is desirous of regaining the twenty- mile road record, which was taken from him by Bozio of the Imperial Club last Sunday, and will make the attempt Sun- day, August 1. With the admirable pac- | ing facilities the Bay City Club can afford | nim, coupled wiin his own remarkable speed and endurance as a roadrider, Cnar- | ley ought to be able to place the mark low enough so that he won’t be bothered with having to regain it for some time to come. < Fastern pro- fessional, returned an enjoyable fortnight’s visit on the coast. Banker was very much interested in the | new association here which has supplanted the League of American Wheelmen in the control of cycling affairs, and said he was convinced tuat it had complete charge of the field. He thoucht that the contro! of racing woula be lost to the L. A. W. before another year had passed, and that whatever body then took it up would be giad to affiliate with the C. A. C. C., the Southern Cycling Association and similar movement!s. He also said he admired the pluck of the California wheelmen, and particularly of the leaders in the ‘‘secession” move- ment, for breaking away from the mis- management of that old fossil the L.A.W., and that there was no question, from the progress already made and the energy shown in the work, that it could not possibly fail. He also nad some kind words to say for the people of California. and the wheelmen in particular, by whom he had_been royally entertained while here. Banker says he is not going to take up with racing this year aiter all. He does not think he is a back-number, how- ever, and expects to start in training early | on Wa | “George P.

Coulter, the well-known racer, left for the East last evening, accompanied by his wife. If Coulter makes certain bus ness arrangements he may have to remain there, otherwise he will be back on the coast as soon as trainscan bring him, as he very much prefers California to any other part of the Union. President A. P. Swain of thne Calif-rnia Associated Cycling Clubs, received a tele- | gram during the week from Fred T. Mer- rill, the well-known dealer of Portland, | saying that he bad forwarded tue appii- cations for membership of sixty riders from Oregon, thus giving the association a swrong bold in tne Webfoot State. When the professional riders from this State go north to compete in the Oregon ruces, it is expected that the final blow will be struck, and that the L. a. W. 1 nave lost its control over another Pacific Coast Siate. Tne forces will then move shington State. E. W. Decker and R. C. Barton, the crack amateur riders ot Fresno, are here on a visit.

Judge Carroll and His Famous Ride Over the Mountains to Trout Lake. Anglers who are rusticating in the Fineh and Judge Carroll report having nad good catches in some of the rivers and lakes, but the general opinion is that the cream of the sport will be skimmed by those who have postponed their outing until August or September, as the stream fishing, owing to the hizh water of the present, will not be ripe until September. The following letter to the sporting edi- tor from Judge John A. Carroll is seif-ex- planatory, and will be found interesting: a per s trollin co mmend him to a more beautiful spot on Lake Iahoe than McKin- not re neys,situated on the west side of thel iree from wind and that grest pest the mo Oue can very comfortably enjc self at this spot on the } i have traverse the entir Tahoe, au for co ses b ough in o piease their guests. They even g0 so far as to furnish free boats and fishing tackle, n prece- dent unknown on the other points of the lake. Not having visited Tahoe before, I was some- what surprised at the manner of fishing, as [ had presumed that we could fish with a rod and fly or spoon the same as I had done at lakes Independence and Webber. But that sort of fishing is out of question here. The tackle consists of & copper wire sbout ninety feet in length, to which is attached a large spoon, and to taat & piece of gut with a larye hook, baited with a grubworm.

Yours, truly, JOHN A. CARROLL. Very good reports have arrived from the Yuba River, but anglers must keep a sharp lookout for rattlesnakes, as they are guite plentiful on the Yuba. The Truckee s said to be too high for first- class fly-fishing, but some good "catches have been made on it by anglers who have used the yellow spinner and minnow. In next week’s issue Judge Carroll’s letter will give a correct account of the kind of fishing now to be had on that lamous trout river. Two anglers who camped on the banks of Lagunitas Creek last Saturday and Sun- day night returned on the Monday follow- ing with a splendid basket of trout. They fished close to the headwaters of the stream, and their largest fish were caught with chubs late in the evening and early in the morning. Anglers who have just returned from the San Lorenzo state that the fishing is good in the evening and morning, but that it is too warm in tpe daytime 10 expect anything like good sport. Miss Emma Libby, the handsome daugh- ter of Captain Libby, is passionately fond of angling, and her latest catch on the beautiiul Lake Crescent with a seven-ounce Leonard rod, and a cast of flies tied by the famous local fly-dresser, John Benn, testi- fies to her prowess and her ability to bandle succcessfully the large and game fishes of this grand lake of the north. Miss Libby will return shortly to her angier's paradise to enjoy another such experience as she had last month with the silvery beauties of Washington’s best an- gling waters. | ” John Gallgaher, who is a noted angler, was one of the pioneers who struck it rich | in California in the fifties.

Although the season for dove-shooting | opened on the 15th inst., local sportsmen | have not scored any remarkable success. Some good bags were returned from some parts of the San Joaquin Valley, but the birds arrived in poor condition owing, of | course, to the excessive heat in the valley. | The hunters for deer report having seen numbers of does and fawns, but the wearers of forked and spiked horns, evi- dently anticipating that danger was lurk- ing near, “‘skipped” for parts unknown to the metropolitan hunter. | Some well conditioned ‘“bucks” were brought to bay by some of the more for- tunate sportsmen who were rot subject to | aitacks of “'Buck” fever—a complsint, by by the way, that invariably attacks the | tyro on his first ounting for large zame. | “Frank Commins and Paul Deimas re- | turned from a very successful chase in the Tamalpais preserve last Sunday evening. Mr. Deimas is an excellent shot and ~ur- prised his companions by bringing to grass ajprand buck that wason the run when a builet from Mr. Delmas’ rifle cut short his existence on this green earth. Of course | the sportsmen, with pardonable pride, ex- | hibited their game to many friends before | its horns were removed. | Shooting and Fishing, a sportsman’s | jonrnat published in Boston, makes the following comment on the much-talked-of Grass Valley dove stew. It says: The Grass Valley Sportsmen’s Club of Grass | Valley, Cal, will hold its annual dove stew 1 near Indian Springs. Dove-shooting supy the aitention of members a day or vance of the annual affair. Last 0 doves were used in the annual | stew, and members promise & greater number | for the coming feast. Doves are plentiful in California at th present time, "but if such practices are fol. lowed the result may be iike that of the pass ing of wne wild pigeon. From the Southern States that touch the Atlantio meny complainis were heard not long ago regarding the wholesale killing of doves, and in th: Middie West there was more of thil sort oi thing inst season. Taken alto- gether, 8 halt should be called. Although doves increase rapidly, the supply is not in- exhanstible. The regular monthly free-for-all shoot | of the Reliance Gun Club of Oakland will | take place to-morrow at its grounds in Alameda, commencing at 10 o’clock. What gives every promise of being the most successiul and interesting blue-rock shooting tournament of the season will be held on Auzust 1 atthe Empire Gun Club grounds, in Alameda, under the auspices of the Empire Club. The pro- gramme is very lengthy and inciudes a club shoot and several interesting races, open to all, for merchandise prizes. There will also be a consoiation race and class shooti Game Warden Mogan has no easy task o perform when the obstacles that are thrown in his path are taken into con- | sideration. He has made several arrests | recently and produced the strongest kind | his nest many vears ago, being the discov- | of evidence in proof that the sellers of game killed out of season should be pun- ished, and thereby an example set that may be convincing and conclusive 1o others who purchass game out of season that the game law much be re-pected. It appears, tnough, that the game- dealers laugh at the law, as nine out of every ten cases that are brought into cours are dismissed on some trivial technicality by Judges wio seem to think that the airest of a person having game in his pos- #ession during the closed season is simpl'y an absurdity and a waste of the court's valuable time. Sportsmen who are interested in the protection of game and fish should use their best efforts to assist the Game Warden by interesting some prominent attorney (a sportsman) to take up the fight for game protection, and thereby aid the Game Warden in his endeavor to se- cure convictions, —_— NEW POSITIONS IN FIRING THE U.

To-morrow’s coursing at Ingleside bids fair to develop some considerable new talent. The programme includesa puppy stake and a stake for saplings. In the former there are several candidates who will make their firstappearance, and in the Iatter no less than eight dogs will be rep- resented. The candidates seeming most likely to raise the flag in the runaown of the puppy stake are: Midlight, Maud 8, Tipperary Lass, Occivental, Rosette, Rockland, Breer, Gallant 'Foe, Nellie B, Silent Partner, Cavalier and Diver. In the sapling stake a similar visitation of fortune should fall to the lot of Jasper, Jessie Moore, Miss Dividend, Miramonte and Capasoni. made for the California Ciub meeting at Merced this fall indicate brilliancy in a high degree of success. Entries will close one week from to-morrow, and that the sixty-four dogs desired wi.l be forthcom- ing is now assured. To-morrow’s Sapling etake inciudes three vrize-winners at the late bench show, and the contests will demonstrate The nominations already | their qualities as field dogs. Willinm Kay has purchased a valuable litter o Eastern pups, which are now on their way to this coast. Jimmy Anthony, the pugilist, has suc- cumbed to the fascination of coursing and is now the owner of Tullamore, a promis- ing dog. E. V. Sullivan’s excellent puppy Jester will be missed in to-morrow’s running. Jester is entered for the Produce stakes of September 9, and will not be seen on the coursing sward until then. Very sew coast dogs will be taken East to the big meets at Davenport, lows, and Denver this fall. According to a state- ment of the owner of one of the largest kenhneis running here, the dogs could add nothing to their prestige by running at those meets. e CRICKET CHIRPS. The Ranks of Good Local Players Rapidly Thinning. Thedeparture on yesterday’s Australian steamer of Billy Robertson, whose praises as a cricketer I duly sounded last week, bids lovers of the game pause. During the past three seasons we have lost some ot the best and certainly the most en- thusiastic among players—such men, for instance, as the late Fred Anson of the California Club, Griffiths and Severs of the Pacifics, Bowhill of the Bohemiars and others. Meanwhile the new blood in- fused into the arteries of the three sur- viving clubs seems to lack quality, and the standard of play is materially lowered in consequence. 1 am told that there is plenty of talent in town, but that no pains are being taken by the officers of ciubs to secure it. If this is a iact, the end of cricket in San Francisco is within a meas- urable distance. ‘I'ne Phiiadelphians piayed the formid- able Notts eleven on the three days end- g the 14th in-t.

Orestes Pierce Produces the Corre- spondence With Defendants Mer- rill, Bonebrake and Howes. Orestes Pierce was the main witness in the Semi-Tropic Land Company’s litiga- tion in Judge Troutt’s department of the Superior Court yesterday. Mr. Pierce produced the correspondence that pused betweeri him and the defendants in the case. The letters showed he had demand- | ed payment from ex-Governor Samusl Merrill, Major George Bonebrake and F. C. Howes for the sum of $30,000 or as much thereof as might be found due after giving credit for the partial payments before made. 3 The tronble grew out of a transaction in which Henry Pierce, Emily ¥. Pope and W. H. Talbot advanced cash to the de- fendants for assisting the Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company of Rialto, San Bernardino County, to carry on its busi- ness. There was a debt of $300.000, and in order to take thisupa loan of SZ’)O,DOO; Sllit you. licited. LEAVITT & BILL, was negotiated with a bank in San Fran- cisco. To cover the balance the deiend- ants executed their guaranty, the agree- ment being that it should not be recorded. Several years passed before the plain- tiffs brought suit to enforce their claim on the guaranty. Before that time the defendants in this case notified the plain- tiffs here that it was their duty to protect their interests by interpleading 1n suits | begun by the San Francisco creditors of the Semi-Tropic Company. Mr. Pierce and his associates failed to take action on the suggestion of the defendants, and when at last this suit was brought the detendants replied that it was not their sault that the plaintiffs had failed to get what was due them; that there was origi- nally plenty of property to secure their claim and that any loss they had suffered was due to their own carelessne:s. Attorney E. 8. Pillsbury called on Mr. Pierce to read the correspondence between himself und the defendants in regard to the non-payment of the note given by the In connection therewith he was called on to tell of the ex-Governor Merrill Semi-Tropic Company. conversations of touching the gnaranty note. Samuel M. Shortridge, attorney for tlfi ) jected on the ground that it was an at- tempt to interject into the record some- thing that did not appear in the plesdings and that, therefora, could not possibly be regarded as pertinent to the issues joined defendants Bonebrake and Howes, in this procesding. The court decided to listen to the let- ters, Mr. Pillsbury remarking that they would undoubtedly be stricken out if they proved to be irrelevant. Mr. Pierce said he understood that the defendants were practically the Semi- Trovic Land and Water Company, but objection was made to the witness giving his impressions, and the remark was or- dered expunged from the record. Several letters were produced in which it appeared that in 1891 and 1892 the plain- tiffs had demanded the payment of the money due under the conditions of the guaranty. Whben this part of the corrs- spondence was read Mr. Shortriage re- marked that at most the letters proved that at the dates mentioned the plaintiffs hela the defendants to be liable under the conditions of the guaranty and that it was apparent that through their own neglect they had failed to bring the pres- ent suit until after the claim had been barred by the statute of limitations. Ina similar manner they had slept on their rights while the litigation was pending against the Semi-Tropic Company. It they had been diligent st that time they could have founa sufficient property to satisfy their claims, and no deficiency judgment would now be here to cause liti- gation. Mr. Pierce was asked by Mr. Pillsbury why be had not pressed the claim against the defendants at the time the money was first considered to be due, and the witness replied that they made such representa- tions to him that he was induced to be lenient. “Now, at last, comes out the proposition to change this action from the terms of the original guaranty iito an action on a conditional guaranty,” said Mr. Snort- ridge, but Mr. Pillsbury hastily disclaimed any such intention and took another tack in his examination. Further consideration of the case was adjourned until next Monday, when it will be called up for argument. OARPET-BEATERS WRANGLE. The Late Mr. Quigley Had Two Names and Some Property. Judge Hebbard had before him yester- day the litigation that has grown out of an attempt to settls the business of the estate of Louis Denis Quigley as he is called by his widow, though his father and brother assert that his true name was Dennis Luke Quizley. A serious dispute has arisen in regard to the ownersnip of the carpet-beating business at 2320 Market street, which the widow says belongs wholly to her late husband, and she accuses the father and brother of the decedent with having con- cealed and abstracted the property and paoers of the deceased. She even charges that they have made awhy with her late husband’s will, John T. Quiglev, a brother of the de- ceased, was called to the twitness-stand and declared that he had not concealed any of the papers or property of his late brother, and «id not know anything about his will if be left one. He also said that he and hi< brother were partners in the business, and that he as surviving partner | had a right to the possession of all the books and papers belon=ing to the firm, but that Mrs. Anna M. Quigley had taken these records into her own hands and refused to deliver them to him, though often requested to do so. Attorney J. B. Carson appealed to the court for a speedy trial of the case as he said that the business is going to rack and ruin because there is no head to it. Attorney Walter E. Dorn responded that if tue attorney on the other side is right, the brother of the decedent has no right there anvhow, yet he is willing to | expedite the proceedings as much as possible. Harrison Jones was appointed a com- missioner to teke testimony, and return the same to the court. s ——— Lovell I's Recommended. The San Francisco tea dealers met yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce pur- suant to a cali for that purpose, the object of which was the selecting and recommending one of their number to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, D.
