The Placer Couuty cricket which started lasi Sunday and in | festival, | or track events for some time to come, / ago Cycling & E. W. Peabody, Chic Ciub. Country riding is at its best in the late autumn, however, as the roads are im- proved after tbe early rains and the| weather is cool. Hence the number of | club runs scheduled for to-morrow. The proposition to hold a coasting con- test here next month has caused consider- able favorable comment. Iiis the idea to afford some amusement for the individuaal f the associated clubs who are men. Three vrizes will be . the first to be 2 $35 gold warch. The matter will be brought to s head at | the association meeting a week frum Sat- 1 urday night, when President Swain will be asked to appoint a committee to take charge of the matter. | The cycle baseball league is forming, many of the clubs having already ar- ranged their teams. The Bay Citys play anciscos Sunday week, and the Cycle Press take on the Cycle Board of | Trade the followinz Saturday afternoon. ient G. H. Orr of the Capadian | Wheelmen’s Association will leave for his homeat Toronto this morning, via steamer to Victoria. He will report to his a ciation ail he has learned while on the coast, and early action regarding the C. A. C. C. is expected. The Garden City Wneeimen are surely in a flourishing condition. Last Wednes- day night they held a house-warming at the oid clubrooms of the Garden City Cyclers, to which ladies were invited, and a pleasant evening’'s entertainment was given. Besides a selected musical pro- gramme, dancing was induiges in, after which came a banquet. It reminded one of the good old times when the G. C. C. was at the zenith of prosperity. Oa Sunday, the 3lst inst., a five-mile bandicap road-race will be neld, probably on the horse track at San Jose, in order to creste enthnusiasm. The scratch men will be Tony Delmas, Julius Smith, Roy Bridgman, Frarn 4 and C. M. Smith. The club has only been organized twenty days, and in that time 1ts racing men bave won two professional races at the Veiodrome (Hardy Downing), first time and second and sixth places in the C. A, C. C. roazd-race (C. M. Smith anda Thorne) and a second and third at Vallejo (C. M. Smith and Frank Cotter.) There is a sur- pius of §78 in the treasury, and over 100 members on the roll. Tue new officers of the ciubare: J. B. Lambkin, president; Robert J. Butler, vice-president; Joseph A. Desimone,secretary s H. L. Miller, financial secretary; who, with Dr. F. Schumacher, Edgar Johuson, George H. Osen, George E. Owens and Al Hubbard constitute the board of dire Captain Joseph Jury and A. A. Hostetter, Tony Dei- mas, J. Arguello and R. R.

To-morrow Captain Lewis will take the San Franciecos on the postponed run 1o Ban Mateo Beach, leaving the ciubhouse at9 A M. Earl W. Peabody of the Chicago Cycling Clubis making for himseli & most re. markable record as an amatenr. In 1895 Arthur A. Zimmerman, champion of tne world, won 101 first places during his season’s racing, a performance which has never been equaled before or since. Pea- body set out 1o equal this record at the beginniug of this season, and bids fair to accomplish the feat. So far he has eighty-three firsts to his credit, and a month more of continual racing before the circuit ends, with two amateur races to compete in each day. Peabody is classed as an amateur by the L. A. o yet he travels hundreds of miles away from his home, and has no other occupa- tion save cycle racing. The question is naturally often askea: *“What wheel aoes heride? And I wonder if he is not a good ‘ad’ for some manufacturer?” The annual theater party of the Cali- fernia Associated Cycling Clubs will be beld Thursday evening, November 11, at the Tivoli, the opera to be “The Geista '’ The iocal clubs have taken hold of the spirit of the thing with a will. The Bay City Wbeelmen have secured a block of 50 seats, Imperials 75 and Californias 75. In- dividual members ot the association can secure their choice of seats by applying now to Jules F. Hancock, 636 A‘;grkex street. There was such a demand for seats last year that many who put it off until the last day were disappointed in having to take back rows, and standing-room was ata premium after the docors haa opened. Applications should therefore be made early. The Bay City Wheelmen will have a run to-morrow to Centerville under com- mand of Captain Harry Larkin. They will take the 9 A, M. broadgauge bost. In the afternoon the Bay City uine will play a match game of baseball with the Uen- terville Lu Lus.

The final match of the carnival will be played to-day and to-morrow, when the bitherto conquering Placerites will meet the powerful Alameda team. UMPIRE YACHTING AND ROWING The vachting season is over and noth- 1ng 1s being done in local yachting The new clubhouse of the San Fr Yachting Club at salito is attracting attention among yachtsmen. Itis mod- ern and possesses many new features. On Thanksgiving day the boating clubs contemplate giving a regatta at Long Bridge, in which ail the clubs participate, except the South Ends. The regatta will be soclai in character. There will be no | classification and no prize:. The cinbs participating in the regatia will be: The| Pioneers, Ariels, Dolphins and Alamedas. | The committes having charge of the re. zatta is iollows: J. Nolzn, William Esoy, J. D. Mahorey, 8. Pembroke ana | A. P. Rothkoff. The South Ends would l'ke to parti pate in the Thanksgivinz day festivities, but they are busy at work on their new | nandbeil court. They expec: to have the roof covered to-morrow. The court will be 80 feet long. The material for its con- struction cost $300. The members are ~recting the struciure themse!ves, conse- quently nothing will be expended for iabor. A. J. Fritz, ex-president of the ciub and a lawyer, puts in his Sundays blistering his hands in order to see the building go up. The South Ends are rapidly increasing in membership. Walter Murphy, a late made member and Wwho tips the scale at 235 pounds, 1s an aspirant for coxswain of ihe prize contesting crew next year. IN ROUGH WATER. The California Swimming Club will give another rough-water exhibition for the public Sunday at 2 o’clock. The pro- gramme will be as follows: Race around the Olympic pier, from the south to the north shore. The distance 1s estimated to be about 700 yards. The en- tries are: R B. Cornell, 0. C. Schuite, A. Baker, G. Hinkle, F. Barrett, D. Carroll, G. Gafiert, A. Hanton, H. McBirney, M. Yale, E. McClearnon, J. Phiilipps, G. La Coste and M. Durand. Following this event Cornell, Baker, Schuite, Hinkle and Barrett will swim to the Seal Rocks and attempt to plant the club’s banner thereon. The day’s sport will conclude with the club giving a series of fancy swims and riding the breakers on boards, so famous among the natives of the Hawaiian Islands. The officers of the day are: A. W. Wehe, siarter; M. Kennedy, 8. Babcock and M. Vigeraux, judges; George Ander- son, 8. McBirney and H. Hartter, timers; 0. R. Bterling, referee. The club desires to thank THE CALL for the kind courtesies it has extended through the columns of its paper. HANDBALL IN THE COURTS.

Saylor | mp in the after- noon by a scoreof 16 to 14, but Catton was the winner in the evening, scoring 20 to Sut- ton’s 16, including his handicap of one.

Sutton had the evening game well in hand | at the end of the twenty-fifth inning, with thirteen points on his string o Cation’s eight The latler picked up five beauties in his tweuty-sixth essay, ed off one in his thirty- first, and finisned with two runs of three in nis ‘thirty-fourtn aud thirty-fifth innings. Some wonderful averages were made in the short games after the toarney. The most note- worthy of these was Galizgher’s phenomenal run of eightat three cushigns. He and Cat- ton engaged in a game consisting of that num- ber of peints. Catton won the bank, missed, and Gallagher, aiter picking off & mervelous mx-cusnion shot, foliowed it up with seven more beauties, and finished the game, thereby making an average of eight. | on the Oi course this ball does not siderable mprovement on Platt in the | position, but _not the general strength to the team in interference, accurate This will be a day of football matches for the teams avout the bay. The most important will be the contest this after- noon between Stanford and Reliance at 3 o’clock on the new Eighth-street gridiron in this city. This forenoon at 10 oclock, same grounds, Holtt's School at Burlingame will meet the Central High School of Oakland. At Berkeley, this forenoon, on the university campus the alifornia freshman team will play the Varsity of the University of the Pacific, and to-day also Lowell High School of this city will struggle with Mt Tamalpais Military Academy of San Rat The line-up for the match of the day will be as follows: Reliar Positlon.

All its backs can punt, and the spectac- ular kick ng game, so interesting to spec- tators, will probabiv be a prominent feat- ure of their play. Wycoff is an old-timer with Reliance.

Stanford team work has greatly im- proved during this week, but the tackling is still absurdly high. Carie is doing sensational work at guard, both in line-breaking and in run- ning with ball, and Coach Brooke looks upon him as one of the greatest gunards in the country. Fisher, too, is developing as a line-bucker, but like most of Stan- ford’s halfbacks lately has done less effective work on the defensive. Levitt, who plays epd to-day, is a quick, sure tackler, who has had four years’ experi- ence on the second eleven. Burnett, the cenier, is steadily improving, but his great weakness is passing for kicks. The annual intercollegi freshman match will take place in this city, on the Eighth-street grounds, next Saturday aft- ernoon, at the same time that the Stan- ford Varsity and Reliance eleven will meet in San Jose in their third contest, a special match arranged 1o gratify the en- thusiasts of San Jose. Something of the relative ability of the Stanford and California freshman teams may be figured out from the following recoras of their games this season: Californis Freshman.18|St. Matthew's Bchool. 0 Callfornia Freshman. 6| Hoitt's School ........

The work has been hghter than usual, and devoted largely to signal practice, as many of the men are now in first-class conaition, and Trainer Lean dces not wan any risk of having them ‘*go stale, There have been fewer accidents on the Berkeley gridiron than ever before at this stage of the football season. Haskell and Premo are the onlv men who are laid up at present, and tbey will probably be all right again in a few weeks. ANGLERS CATCH STRIPED BASS. The anglers wio recently returned from Eel River state that trout and salmon fishing is now first class and that excel- lent sport will continue until the arrival of heavy rains, Jonn Gallagher, the veteran angler, who has whipped every stream in this State that countains trout worthy of a place in | { | an angler's basket, is profuse in his praises of the Eel River. He says that the small steelbeads that average three- | quarters of a pound in weight take a fly readily and fight like little demons. The large steelheads and quincat salmon are caught by means of trolling, yet occasion- ally a full-grown steelhead will rise toa fly. Just previous to Mr Gallagher's de- parture from the happy fishing grounds re hooked asixteen and a half pound | steelhead on a number ten fly and landed bis prize after enjoying a first-class ex- perience in playing a large fish on light tackle. He says the ‘‘batiie royal'’ lasted three-quarters of an hour. Al Wilson and R. last discovered the feeding grounds of the striped bass, but they do not propose to make known it the fishing grounas until they wili bave an ampie sufficiency of sport. McFarland says that bass make a very game fight and afford an angler grand sport. It is rnmorea that the troiling grounds are somewhere in San Pablo Bay. 1f heavy rains should fall between now and December 1, local anglers will enjoy some first-class _sport fishing for steel- beads in the Paper mill and Sonoma creeks. VOLLEY BALL IS POPULAR. The volley-bail tournament is progress- g satisfaciorily. The zame played be- tween the Peerless team from the Cen- tral Young Men’s Christian Association and the Mission II was of unusual inter- est. Bolh sides were in it, but the Peer- less lost with a final score of 46 to 24 in favor of Mission IL The courts were occupied by the follow - ing players: Mission II side—W. B. Gor- | man, G. W. Falls, George McLeod, Arthur ey. Peerless side—Ed Ziska, H. S. Merion, F. Rossick, L. C. Chaponot. A week ago the Peerless defeated the Mission 1 eam by a score of 50 te 37, and nobody expected to see such a result. The teams have now the following points to their credit and debit: Won. Lost.

William Cowan, a Recent Arrival From Australin, the Latest Victim. William Cowan, a recent arrival from Australia, swore to & complaint in Judge Conlan’s court vesterday for the arrest of W. 8. Woods and Arthur Semler on the charge of obtaining money by false pre- tenses. Cowan stated thaton September 16 he answered an advertisement that asked for a partner in a pickle factory. He met Woods and Semler, and they took him to the Sonoma Pickle Works on Battery street, telling him they were the owners. They wanted $400 for a half interest in the business, and after some talk, Cowan agreed 1o pay $300. They went before a notary and an agreement was drawn up and signed, Cowan paying over the money. Cowan wanted to go back to the factory, but Woods and Semler prevented him. and instructed him to call nextday at a store on Seventh street, near Mission. He did so, and found two empty pickle barrels and one about half full. "He made inquiries and found that Woods and Sem- ler had nothing to do with the Sonoma Pickle Works. Since then he has been trying to get back his money, but without success. .. Divorces Granted. Divorces have been granted in the Superior Court as follows: Charles 8. Ruggles from Theresa M.
