These dogs are owned by Mess Simmons and Donahue, two of Cripple Creek most popular young business men e dogs are being put in shape to run in California next_month, and If one of them does not win the John Grace challenge cup there will bega whole lot of disappointed people here. When these gentlemen took five dogs to run for the big purse at Merced last November very few people here knew anything about it is different now, however. The ing spread | the intelligence that Cri dogs did ‘w"’ell. nnd‘when Rusty E0la was beaten by Mialmo in the final there were many expres- sions of regret. The Colorado coursers returned home loud in their praise of that wonderful climate of | California, but more especially of coursing and coursing_men whom they had met on the | Coast. They did not waste much time in get- | ting a new string of dogs on their return, as they had left all their Merced runners on the Coast. They claim to have faster ones now than even Rusty Gold, among the number be- | ing a brother and the eire of the Merced runner-up. The Cripple Creek coursers will leave here for San Francisco on the 10th of February with their dogs that are entered for the Grace cup, the first round of which will be run at Ingle- side Park on February 21. With a thermometer here registering close to zero at noon, dogs need heayy cover without | doubt. Still it does look as though they would | be handicapped in regard to training, com- pared with the California trained hounds. The Owners, however, say that they have the best dogs on earth and will convince their Call- fornia friends that high altitude road work is better for & dog than sea level exercise.

Dr. Dennis met with an accident while out in his shell near the Unlon Iron Works last week. His oar broke in the middle, and he fell into the bay. He was rescued by a boatman and taken to the boathouse. The South Ends will hold a banquet the first week in February. The Ariels will be represented this sea- son by a powerful junior crew. The men who compose it are well-known athletes of the Turn Verein. A “low jinks” will be held by the Ala- medas within a short time. UNEMPLOYED ORGANIZED. They Will Make an Earnest Fight for Recognition in the Charter. The unemployed of the city have made a permanent organization for the pur- pose of demanding recognition on the charter. Their headquarters are at 1028 Market street, where their petition is constantly exhibited for signatures. Their petition demands that there be a specific levy of taxes for the purpose of giving work to the unemployed, and that the minimum wages paid shall be §2 a day.

San Francisco has fewer bicycle clubs in proportion to its size than any other | ity in the United States except Cincin- | nati. The wheeling interest is not dor- mant, however, for there are estimated to be over 25,000 riders In this city alone. Of this number a scant thousand belong to organized clubs, and over half of the’ total individual membership of the C, A. C. C.—or over 60—is made up of unat- tached riders. In looking around for a reason Yor this state of affairs, we are confronted with the fact that the managers of the cycle | clubs here have not yet learned from our Eastern brethren the art of making their clubs sufficiently attractive to induce a large membership. True, we find in the Olympie, Imperial, Bay City, San Fran- cisco, California and similar institutions rather attractive club quarters. But with the obsolete club run and an occasional unentertaining “smoker’’ lue efforts stop, and there i{s nothing w0 tempt a man to Join a club or to patronize it after he has done so. But the club manager will answer and say: “Ah, but we have only 100 members, and, at §1 a month, that is barely enough | | | money to run the club. without run- ning into debt for more luxuries for the pre; Wait until we get more mem- er: more inc Wait.

Many an un- attached rider would be a club man to- day If he saw where it would accrue to | his advantage. He is probably not a | racing man, as statistics shaw that orly one wheeiman in every 200 ever races himself and that only 1 in every 25 actual riders ever attend a bicycle race. There- fore, he is not attracted by any club that caters to the racing element, and it is a false idea to think that the winning of races, relays and the like is of particular benefit to the club. The winning ciub may oe better known in the public mouth, but a glance at its membership roll and treasury will explain the rest. ¢ returns at once. sco bleycle clubs Therefore, our unattached friend must be enticed by some other means than cycle racing. Mayhap he likes touring | awheel, in whi event a long list of proposed tours for the season. prepared months in advance of their occi the eclub eaptain, will be a bait at whic! he will likely nibble. But the chances are he wants his cycle club to also serve a soctal institution, where he may pa frequent evenings during the week. Now a pretty, well-located club house, with plano, reading and card rooms and bil- llard hall, will attract him for the first few visits but not after that. Probably his own home is as good as the club house, his sisters play the plano better | than any of the boys at the club, if he | desires to read his home is more quiet, | and billiards are a pastime that one soon tires of if it is the only one, particularly when playing with chipped balls and un- 3 tipped cu; Yastern bicycle clubs have been through all this, and many of them have suc- cumbed. Others, with stronger minds at | the helm, have met the situation and | couquered it. How? By providing means of indoor entertainment that make club life enjoyable and attractive. Propor- tionate size duly considered, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago have ten times | as many bicycle clubs as has San Fran- | cisco, and they are all flourishing. A | large membership of desirable young men who patronize and support the institution, is all that is needed to make a club's con- | dition ‘“flourishing” and its treasury | plethoric. | 1 think the trouble with the San Fran- cisco clubs has been that in many of | their forms of entertainment they were not satisfied unless they made money out of them. The club treasury required this, | but that was not getting at the root of the evil. With more members the treas- | ury would be fat and it would not be | | necessary to make every entertainment | | self-supporting, to charge an entrance fee | | tor every little billiard or card tourna- | | ment, or a “hat-check” at the dance. | Among the social doings of Eastern | clubs, we read of *‘the annual ball of | the Harlem Wheelmen. The decorations | will be especlally tasteful, while the best of music is promised for the dancers. Ad- mission is by invitation only, procurable | from the members and limited to one card | to each member.” | Again: “A new iden has been evolved by some of the bright members of the Royal Arcanum Wheelmen’s Club, and it takes the shape of a free dancing class, which will practice at the club house every Thursday evening from now until the first of April.

It was reported last Saturday that the bar would positively be opened on Sunday morning, but the barrier remained intact, | and, as a consequence, there has not been any fishing worthy of mention during the past week. Messrs. Vogelsang and Babcock, the ish Commissione: left this city for Russian River station last Saturday, ex- pecting that the bar would be opened on Saturday night. They were accompanied by Mr. Mansfleld, the champion fly- caster, and John Siebe, the champion cottontall rabbit exterminator of the The an- glers had very poor luck, Mansfield being the only representative of the pleasure family who landed a fish. He stated that it was the first fish he had ever taken on a spoon, but allowed that it was a game fighter and had afforded him royal sport. The deputy who was dispatched from this city by Chief Babcock to investigata the reported killing of steelheads by tha net fishermen of Tomales Bay remained only one day at Point Reyes, during which time he overlooked examining any of the nets, but was satisfied that every- thing was “O K,” judging from a short conversation he had with one of the fisu- ermen near Inverness, which is a pleasure resort mear the bay. The deputy, it is said, had schemed to pounce down upon the lawbreakers on the following aayv. when they least expected a visit from him, but a notice from headquarters that his presence wgs_required at ussian River station on® Sunday upset his calcu- lations. Instead of looking out for the trans- gressors of the law In Tomales Bay. the deputy spent Sunday rowing the friends of the chief of patrol up and down the deep pools of Russian Rivér. But it hap- pened that while the deputy was obeying the mandates of his superior, the fisher- men of Tomales Bay were seining steel- heads under the noses of some of the anglers who had visited Point Reyes on Saturday last. Some of the fish taken in the net were not more -than twelve inches in length, but the law says such an offense con- stitutes a misdemeanor, as a twelve-inch trout can readily escape through a net the meshes of which are seven and one- half inches in length, when drawn closely together. The Tomales Bay fishermen use nets of very small dimension, and this fact is missfoner. However, an, lers need not expect to in of sport nmext vear Paper-mill Creek. But the Commi say that they will stock it exten this year. Anglers will rejoice when they will learn of the stream being stocked for a fact. Several thousand fry of the Loch Leven trout found their way into the Country Club's waters this year. The anglers of the club should certainly enjoy grand sport when the fish will have reached a size fit for a place in a creel. Some months ago it was stated in these columns that Professor David Starr Jor- dan of the Stanford University, who is the acknowledged American authority on fresh and salt water fishes, had said that from the limited knowledge he possess in every particular of the steelhea ofth Pacific Coast he could not say whether they were of the salmon or of the trout family. He believed, however, that they were a trout of the anadromous variety, but until he engaged in a more extensive re- search and had given the steelhead the attention it must have for scientific cla sification he refused to say which it was, Viz.: a salmon or a trout. Professor Gilbert visited several of the coast streams this season, and doubtless he will lecture before the fly-casting club at some near future date on the mysterious steelhead. Tt is presumed that the name “steelhead” will cling to the fish whether it be a salmon or a trout and that its game qualities will not suffer in the least by a proper classification. As matters stand at present, there is | nothing in the law_ to prevent an angler from catching steelheads in fresh water and above tide water with rod and line. Professor Jordan or some ichthy- | ologist—a standard authority as it were, on matters piscatorial-must classify the steelhead before an angler can be punished for having killed one or many of them above tide water, or, in fact, any kind of water, with rod and line. Quite a number of so-called hookbills have put in an appearance in the pools at the mouth of Paper-mill Creek. Last Sunday *“Andy” caught four, Tom Mar- shall two and Battu one. George Walker and W. Kennedy landed two beautiful steelheads. - Latest accounts from the point are that quite a number of fish are Lelnx caught at “the White House” and “‘Sandspit.” JUDGE WALLACE OBDURATE.

The prisoners pleaded guilty to assaults ing and robbing old Isidore Goulet, and tried to mitigate their sentence by turn- ing State’s evidence against “Bert” Gray, who they allege was the man who puf up_the job. Gray was arrested, but after a short trial the jury acquitted him. As both prisonets were under the age of 21, an effort was made to have them sent to a reform school. Judge Wallace, however, was obdurate, and said that a life in prison would teach them the error of their ways. Gray is now in jail awaiting trial for a murderous attack on Goulet. NEW TO-DAY.
