Flectwing as In splendid condition and is well pleased with his colts. Both Thompson and Ethel Downs have contracted the habit of tongue loliing. Beyond a doubt they would trot better and faster miles with this defect cor- rected. Fitz Lee is one of the lightest galted pacers on earth. If he could go fast without the hopples he would be ready money in almost any company. Ten horses stepped last quarters bettef than 33 seconds Wednesday during the morning workouts. Ethel Downs moved one in about 31 seconds—a 2:04 clip. Maben’s green pacer by Sidney is reel- ing off quarters at a 2:08 clip. She will beat 2:15 directly, and no one ever saw a slicker gaited one than she. Young Durfee sits a sulky exactly like his father, He has some strong racing material in Osito, Mamie Riley, Lady Margaret and oné or two others. Surely the McKinneys are great this season. Lottie seems a popular name. Several trotters and one or two pacers hav peared already at this meeting under tl appellation.

It is pretty fast, however. Queen Alix, 2:03%. has been mated with the ex-California sire, Sable Wilkes, 2:18. Both were wonderful colt trotters and a bundle of speed should result. Alix will be shown at the down east horse shows this fall. Few handsomer trotters are to be seen than Eureka by Ira, son of Piedmont. He {s a beautifully colored chestnut about the shade_of the old-time show-ring cham- pion, Mambrino Klni. Jimmy Sullivan as a crack-a-jack three-year-old in the bay colt Monte Carlo by Monaco and horsemen are nearly agreed he will beat 2:20 this season. He seldom makes a break and is perfectly gaited. One morning this week as a filly by Nutwood Wilkes was stepping the back- stretch the veteran writer Joseph Cairn Stmpson asked ‘“Where is she?”” as he was timing her. Mr. Carter, her owner, at once remarked: “Where Is She. 1 shall name her. She is not named as yet, put that names her. That is an odd name and not likely to have been taken. That fast colt Who is It, by Nutwood ‘Wilkes, is sick and will not start again for a month beyond a doubt. He was rated as good a prospect as has shown to date in_Californla. McKinney, 2:11%, glves promise of be- mml"'i»“ great sire. Everything at the track by him shows well and the green mare Mamie Riley can shade 2:20 a bit when conditions obtain quite to her liking. Arthur L., 2:15, is at the track and jog- gmf; to cart dally. Later he may make a little turf history. Myrtle Thorn traces directly to the old- time flve-mile race mare Nourmahal. It is a line not at all bad to have in a pedi- Tee. !Few, 1f any, horses at the track can pace the stretch faster than the big chest- nut gelding Bernard. Right around 313% seconds it is every time he is asked to sprint to the wire.” Tuesday he stepped a half in 1:06 so easily the railbirds began predicting 2:10 over the Oakland track should he start on a favorable day and ap- hat be at all closely pressed. Mr. Carter is delighted with the young trotters by his horse Nutwood 1lkes. John A.

Ex-Commodore T. F. Tracy's sloop Seceret went up to Suisun. The Corinthian ficet made an early | start on Sunday morning. In Montezuma | Slough the Elia ran upon a mud bank and allowed the rest of the fleet to pass her, the Clara coming out of the slough first. I'he Merope ran aground, but soon floated off; Thetis anchored at the mouth of Montezuma Slough, near Collinsville, and ran upon a lee shore. The skipper took his wife over to Black Diamond, and did not get his boat back to her moor- | ings till ¢ o’clock on Tuesday morning. t about 5:45 on Sunday afterncon th= Corinthlan fleet began to come to anchor at Vallejo. Shortly before noon on Mon- day the fleet started homeward, Queen and Mignon being the first to leave Val- lejo. There was a lively breeze, causing some of the boats to reef. The crulse was most successful. The following Encinal yachts took part in the Interclub crulse: E. K. Taylor's yawl Emerald, W. Bates’ sloop Vixen, R. Mitchell's sloop Fawn, E. Ward's sloop Sphinx. All came back except Fawn, which went up the Sacramento River for a two weeks’ cruise. The yawl Spray, formerly Siwash, for- merly Guinevere, is now back at Tibu- ron, and Commodore J. S. Hanley made his up-river cruise on the yawl Emerald. The following yachts flew the California flag at Vallejo: R. R. I'Hommedieu and 8. C. Delamater’s sloop Phoenicla, Secre- tary G. F.

Han- lon, Carrier and others, had an agreeable up-river cruise, passing through the slough into the San Joaquin. To-day and to-morrow are ‘‘open” days on all the club programmes, except the Pacifics. This club has a race of the 15- footers scheduled, but as most or all of these are not in sailing trim the event will not take place. W. 8. Goodfellow’s schooner La Poloma, after lving for some weeks In Sessions Basin, East Oakland, has gone south to Santa Catalina.

Ring target—Young, 66; McLaughlin, 66—6S. | Last evening the following dispatch was received from the Glendale range: NEW YORK. July T.—In the National sharp- shooters’ tournament to-day Willlam Hayes of | Newark, J., carried off the honors with a | core of oints at the point target. Joseph inger of Los Angeles distinguished himself | with 47 points out of a possible 50 at the stand- ard target. The score was tied by W. H. Tay- | lor of Pittsburg, and the Californian duplicated his first score In attempting to beat the Pitts- | burger. .C. W. Swain, secretary of the Ione Rifle Club, sends an account of some excellent shooting by Dr. B. H. Foreman, one of the new enthusiasts. On June 2, at the Ione range, he made on "the Columbia target ten'shot scores, offhand, at 200 | vyards, 61, 56, 61, 64, 70, 7. On July_3 he | made, under the samé conditio 63, 67, 72, 75, 77. On the last oc | doctor fired fifteen con: | making a 47 1-3-average. This was done with a 32-40 Winchester, 165-grain bullet, nitro priming, bullet seated in shell. The Ione Rifle Club promises to turn out some of the best shots tn the State. | A number of riflemen in this part of the | State have been experimenting with a new semi-smokeless powder that is giving | great satisfaction in the East. It is very | much *“‘softer” than the old black powders and does not “back up”’ with so much vim. The “FF" grain gives better satis- faction, fouling less than the single i Used with a nitro priming it shoot: S clean as the high-priced smokeless and as evenly and strongly as the straight black The “FFFQ” acts well in revolver shells There is one thing that commends th powder to rifle shooters—the manufactur- ers have not yet joined the powder com- bine. When shot straighf, the ordinary black powder primers can be used, but with a nitro priming a nitro primer must be used. The military shots have learned with regret and sorrow that poor old Corporal Lew Townsend is no more. A more en- thuslastic rifieman could not be found in the State, and so dearly did he love his old Springfleld musket that he adorned the plece as no gun ever had the honor of being decorated before. The barrel was of rich bronze and the stock and handle of the cleaning rod were inlaid with orna- ments and brilllants. Away back a quar- ter of a century ago he shot with some of the best marksmen of that day, and held his own, and it was rarely that he missed attending the monthly class medal contests of his company on the Shell Mound range, even when so ill that he could hardly hold up his gun. His affec- tion ‘for “his boys” was almost as great as_his love for his musket. He will be sadly missed on the range. M. J. WHITE. FISHERMEN SEEK THE GAMEY TROUT Boca and the Upper Sacramento Prove the Favorite Rendezvous. An Oregon Stream. The majority of the well-known fisher- men are now away on thelr annual vaca- tions and reports of excellent sport reach this city from many points. At Boca are such well-known wielders of the rod as Eugene V. Sullivan, George Walker, Jack Sammi, Al Cumming, H. S. Skin- ner, John Siebe, Ai Wieland and M. J. Geary. James Chesley seturned during the week from Boca with a fine basket of fish. One weighed fifty-three ounces and proved the best of his catch. A V. F. Bogart has been enjoying the sport at Boca, which is an old stamping ground of his. Boca and the Upper Sac- ramento are from all accounts providing the best sport at the present time. A. Rose caught three good bass on the Russian River recently. They averaged thirteen inches in length and a pound in weight. Charles Huycks has been fishing the San Gregoria and had good returns al- ét;gugh those caught were chlefly small The anglers of this city have had opened to them a new fleld recently in e Pelican Bay district, Oregon. This 1 some forty miles by stage from Ashland, and is pronounced a paradise for fisher- men. The fish which are of the silver trout specles are from one to ten pounds in weight and provide the most exciting of_sport. J. W. Barnes leaves for the stream to- day, while G. W. McGrew and family went north-on Wednesday last. G. W. Wright and E. Langerman left at the same time, making ?xue a colony of San Franciscans in quest of the gamy trout.

R R R R e e g The gun men, who haye been such ar- dent followers of trap-shooting for some months past, have grown careless of the sport recently and now await the open- ing_of the shooting on with impa- tience. Deer and doves be shot on and after next Friday, the 16th inst. All indications are to the effect that there is game in abundance. In the near-by counties of Alameda, Marin and San Mateo the birds exceed in number those of any son in recent These are said, however, not to compare with the quantity of birds in the district about Marysville, Wheatland and Rio i rtsmen of the metropoli their way there annually arded this year o giin ol ason will, it is claimed, have 1l effect upon r_hunting.

This is the home of the deer and is fairly teeming with game. The majority of the shooters go by way of the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Iy to fah and thence by stage or private conveyance to the haunts of the deer. g The favorite arm of the riflemen will be of 30 caliber, shooting a soft pointed bullet, and the rifles of 38-5 caliber. Otto Feudner has just returned from a visit to his home in Dixon. In the Putah Creek district he saw doves in endless quantity and all plump and well grown.

The championship tennis tournament at San Rafael this year was singularly devoid of interest. In former vears there was always a contest for the first place in the tournament and even the prelimi- naries had a bright streak here and there which relieved the monotony of matches played in desultory fashion. Sumner Har- dy is now the champion player of the coast in singles. itney, who held that title n of 1897-98, failed to appear to cont with Hardy, the winner of the tournament, and thus forfeited the championship. The one good match of the entire tour- nament was between Sam Hardy and his brother, Sumner. The absence of Robert N. Whitney was a_sufficient guarantee that the championship would again re- turn to the Hardy family. After the de- feat of Sam F by his brother there le opponent left for g, during the latter ament, was not a its former self.

George Whitney was on the lins and at every stroke he regretted his in- ability to compete for the championship honors. He had been playing an excel- lent game up to the time he took {ll, and then he was forced to abstaln from even light practice. As it is, he surrendered the cup and forfeited the honors that went with it. The tournament has done one thing in the interest of the game.
