It must not be construed by this that all who signed its membership roll were—but some. When spoken to in regard to the inside workings of the organization the pre was always mentioned prominently something that ought to be attended to, | as it were. Horses are not pieces of ma- chinery. This every one knows. The | honest owner, alw out for the long end of the purse, is never criticized, even though his horses do train off.

It is the mecca of all Western turfmen. There the julce is not squeezed from the orange and the peel tossed to the owners—they derive all the benefit. Eight hundred dollar purs and $1000 handicaps are what make Wa ington Park popular. There is where t a run for a. be re a fair field and no favor, that cannot be sald of our own game, where the ‘“‘magnates” of either track head the list of winning owners. It is quite evident that every now and then officials In the stand overlook the fact that the public are entitled to some protection, as well as private individuals, whether they are race track owners or On Wednesday of the present week Henry Shields, with leg up on the pro- nounced favorite, Olinthus, a brother to Diggs, won the Schrefper stake at Ingle- slde for two-year-olds. An: ne indi- vidual with eyes not amicted with astig- matism could see that a well defined ef- fort was made to defeat the favorite by shutting him off. Taking a desperate compelled to tap one rider lightly with his whip, when hanging half over the fence. Of course this does not make pretty racing, but when one’s life is In danger he should protect himself' with the most available means. For this breach of turf etiquette the rider of Olinthus was suspended for the balance of the week. No attention was paid to the | rowdy tactics of the other riders, calling | to one another, “There he comes on the | inside,”” “Shut him off.” and such like. | “Oh, no,” they were giding for good peo- ple.” And this sort 6f thing will even- | tually work the ruin of California racing. | If racing is a rich man’s game, it should be so advertised. If all are welcome to participate, then all should be treated | alike. Surely the wealthy do mnot pay | their dollar at the gate. For the most | part, people in possession of money and | position pass through the gates on com- plimentary badges. The middle and | poorer classes support the sport, and for that reason the poor owner with two | horses should have an equal say with the | owner of a string of twenty.

Now that some of the selling events have a soft aspect, native owners with any sort of a fair horse are afraid, to make an entry. If a good plater does show up it is dollars to a red apple that one of the visiting Eastern owners about getting ready to depart will gobble him up. Kastern owners come out here and expect they are entitled to everything in sight, and the managers of the track appear to take the same view. So do the judges.

The stakes are identical as to class, an all-age, open event and a sapling feature being scheduled at both Ingleside and At Union Park sixty-eight includes no less than seventy-two of the clean-limbed flyers. There will be hot | sport among the leashmen before the last | flag goes up to-morrow night. The run- | ning at both parks commences at the usual hour, with the sapling stake in the slips. Many improvements have been made at Ingleside during the week that will add | to the sport appreciably. The field has been thoroughly raked and softened. The iight knoll at the easterly end has been | leveled down, and the dogs will hereafter | be slinped from the southeasterly corner. | The running will be thus brought almost | directly in front of the grand stand. There will be several performer: Sacramento at Union Park to-day. may be that they will land within the money line, but they will hardly reach | the top.

Of course there will always be an oc- casional course which will” destroy the best lald plans of mice or men. Some- times a very poor hare will be liberated in front of a brace of dogs, and by a poor slip or through some unfortunate occur- rence the better dog in all respects is thrown out. But with good hares, good slipping and good judging, the fanciers who keep a good line on the dogs can al- ways count upon success in_betting.

A FHEE bttt There certainly should be a State law | against the capture of baby trout. This| season the streams are so low and clear that many anglers who whip flies as a | means of capturing trout are deplet(ngl Last Saturday and Sunday, and in fact during the past week, hundreds of baby | trout were taken from Paper-mill Creek. One man who could not understand Eng- | lish was seen near Tocaloma with half a basket of trout the largest of which | did not measure five inches; in fact, the greater number of fishes he had in his possession were under four inches in | length. | It is not any wonder, then, that coast are quickly depleted of the finny inhabitants when so-called anglers are allowed by law to take and kill trout that are not even fit for table use; but until an anglers’ club is formed the de- struction of baby fishes will continue and the sport will become annually worse. Last Friday week the men who are in charge of the Olema hatchery drew a net through the White House pool at Point Reyes, thereby destroying the sport | which anglers enjoyed up to that time. | The netters failed to capture any large steelheads, as the big fellows which were | recuperating in the deep pool had taken their dej ture for the ocean during the warm wave which visited us a few weeks ago. But the net alarmed the small trout, many of which immediately departed for | the ocean. | The hatchery men should at least show | some respect for the angling fraternity | &nd leave network for trout alone after | | the angling ason opened. There is, however, fai; good fishing to be had at the Point for those who understand ermen might just as well remain at home‘ until next winter. Mr. Monroe of Fortuha is on a visit| to this city. He states that anglers are | having gala sport on Eel River catching small steelheads by means of fly-cast- | ing. \K‘V. E. Brooks, the dentist, has hit upon | a new idea in the way of arranging a spinner, which he guarantees will prove death to large.trout. Anglers who have | whipped the Brook spinner contend that | it is all that the maker claims for it. | Harry McMurchy and Phil Beckart re- | cently returned from the north fork of | Ee: River. Among the large numbers of | small trout the sportsmen brought to creel during their stay on the river, they ate positively that they had a 37-inch cutthroat” that weighed 141 pounds; a| -inch steelhead that weighed 9% pounds; | a 3l-inch ‘Eastern brook” trout that weighed 1012 poun and a *“California brook™ trout that scaled 7% pounds. The fact of the matter is that all of the fishes caught were steelheads. It is/ doubtful if the gentlemen canxtell the difference between a cutthroat trout and a rainbow trout, notwithstanding that they may be experts at the trap. | An excursion under the management of J. E. Locke will run on Sunday from this city to Gazadero and return; 31 50 for the roursl trfip. The train will meet the 8 o’clock a. m. boat at Sausalito. INTERESTING GAMES IN THE BALL COURTS.

The senior crew takes a practice row every other evening. The club has offered a gold medal for senifor skiffmen, and another for junior skiffmen. It has also offered a medal for senior scullers in shells. Willlam McAusland, one of the best scullers of last season, will resume sculling this year, and will, . - | in_all probabjlity, wear Ariel colors. Last | p year, when stale and over-trained, he was defeated by Dr. C. C. Dennis, but he has now a good rest, has gone up in weight and will make a formidable opponent. Two crews have been made uy to try conclusions with the Turn Verein crew. Last Sunday they had a trial spin with the senior crew and held their own. Though comparatively new men, they are thorough athletes and quick at learning. An order for a new racing barge will grobsbly be given about May 1, but the oat will not be completed for three or four months, so that it will not be in time for the regattas early in the season. The boats that the club now have are rather heavy and of an old-fashioned type. ‘Fhe Ariel Club has many new members; forty new lockers have been added to the club house and other improvements made. All the club boats are in good order, and a prosperous season is confidently ex- ected. - Last Sunday there was much activity around the quarters of the South End Rowing Club. Four crews went out for practice in the barges, the first consisting of Frank Mayo, stroke; Charles Jenkins, after-waist; T. Barry, forward-waist; W. Fox, bow, and “Doc” 'Flynn, cockswain. The second was made up of J. . Scully, stroke; TLen Hausler, after-waist; Mat Breen, forward-waist; James Pallas, bow, and Robert McArthur, cockswain. The third crew comprised Dan Connelly, stroke; J. Bogan, after-walst; George Lewis, forward-waist; Paul Sturdevant, bow, and Tom Shortall, cockswain. Of the fourths crew Charles Kelley was stroke, Charles Creighton, after-waist; Emil Blumlein, forward-waist, and James Fee- han, bow. Len Hausler and Dr. C. C. Dennis went out in shells, and James Foley, T. I. Fitzpatrick, A. H. Melletz and Barry in skiffs. n_ Hausler, the single sculler, went out for the first time ‘n a barge crew on Sunday and will prob- ably occupy a seat in the boat per- nanently. = George Lewls, a member of the senior crew of the Alameda Boat Club, and Paul Sturdevant of the Olympic Club visited the South End club house on Sunday and were given seats in one of the barge crews. Dan Connelly, Tom Barry and Emil Somps visited the club housé and were much pleased with the improve- ments. The delegates of the Alameda Boat Club to the Pacific Amateur Athletic Associa- tion are S. J. Pembroke, W. B. Hinchman and H. Maas. The Alameda Boat Club will hold its club regatta on Sunday, April 24. There will be scrub races and a stralghtaway race against time in the new barge, also a race in outrigged skiffs for club uni- forms. The preliminary heats already held by the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club for the A. B. Treadwell medal for junior skiffs have been declared off, C. M.

The start will be at McAllister and Larkin streets, instead of Tenth and Market, as eretofore. Thence down Larkin to Ninth, Ninth to Folsom, to Twenty-second, to Potrero avenue, turn- ing to the right past the City and County Hospital to Twenty-third, turning left up Twenty-third to Nebraska and the San Bruno road. From here on the route is the same as before, following the county road to San Jose, covering the second, third, fourth and fifth rel The sixth, through San Jose, has seen me .changes, but from there on to the finish the course is the same, except that the finish in Alameda is different, terminating on Central avi nue, opposite the dwelling house No. 2525, between Pearl and Regent streets, on the left-hand side of the avenue.

A reader of The Call sends in the fol- lowing interesting communication to this column regarding the trip to Spanishtown as given in a local paper last Sund: CITY, April 2 To the Cycling Editor of The Call One of your contemporaries started a g00d idea last Sunday, stating that it tablished a touring rtment ticulars” of rides around maps, ete. ” than ‘any in existenc s your contemy ary, and then publishes its first map, which ces is so inaccurate that a stranger would ly lost if he tried to follow it. This evidently drawn from some old map, and could never have been very correct. Thers 5 no excuse for this, es an up-to-date and cor- rect map of most the ground covered can now be had for 5 cents from the United States Geological Survey. In the newspaper map en- closed the number and positions of the Spring Valley lakes are all wrong, s you will see from a rough tracing of the United States map also_enclosed. I would also make the following criticisms on the description of the trip to Spanishtown: First—The place mentioned as Baden is gen- erally known as South San Francisco. Second—A large part of the road from Sfx- Mile Hill to San Mateo is not excellent going at present, being nearly impa: ble between San Bruno and Millbrae, owing to the laying of new pipes, and at all times it is indifferent. Third—At tncle Tom’s you keep straight on the main road, as the road to San Andreas turns out at right angles. Fourth—For the dam across Lake San An- dreas, five miles away, read: ‘‘Causeway across the Crystal Springs Lake.” Fifth—On the return journey the directions should be: ‘‘Cross over the big cement dam (Crystal Springs) and proceed along the east shore of lake to head of same, up lane to San Andreas dam, across same and up to the ridgs and along same to near the head of lake, then down to Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the distance from the cement dam to Uncle Tom's being fully 8% miles, instead of 3% as given in the paper. Finally, any person well acquainted with the country Wwould advise the trip being taken the Teverse way to that recommended, as it 1§ all up hill and against wind from the cemeteries in to the edge of the city. I might add that such a tri considering the country over y 7. aptain of the Reliance T. Smith of the En- hed for a five-mile to- D of seventy miles, which it is taken, is far beyond the powers of a ‘‘comparative novice,”” to whom it is ntly recom- mended. NO. L. A W. R. C. Lennie, the popular tire expo- nent, will leave on Monday for a six ‘woeks' trip through Oregon and Washing- on. s Some good cycling events will be held at San Rafael on Friday afternoon, May 6, in conjunction with the rose festival, he races will be a ten-mile handicap over the Greenbrae course, a two-mile a one-mile handicap and a half- mile scratch for boyvs under 16 vears. En- tries close May 3 with M. F." Cochrane, chairman of the cycling committee of the rose carnival, at San Rafael, from whom full particulars may be had. It would probably have been better to have held these events on the following day, Satur- day, May 7, as most of the riders who would enter are amateurs, who could easily attend on Saturday but might find it hard getting away Friday afternoon. It is not ikely that the management may make tRis change. H. W. SPALDING. ADVERTISEMENTS.
