Rosseter has three other nominations in Santa Alicla, Pocahontas, | and Gallant Foe. Curtis & Sons of Santa Clara have three nominatlons, but have not named their entries. M.

The Yosemite. kennels have three nomi- nations, and will name their dogs on the night of the drawing. They will all be Bastern importations. Al Austin will run Douglas and Glenstone, and _expects a slice of the “long green.” Arthur Massey Will have two dogs in, and may make an- other nomination. Russell & Wilson of Tllinois pin their faith to Glen Rosy, who, it 18 said, is one of the greatest perform- ers on the plains ever brought here from the Fast. Tim Cronin claims to have a mortgage on first money, and says the only dog in the stake will be his fast and Hever Anornhill, Black Pattl, Winged Foot, Skylark, Crusader and Miss Alice have already been named. and from ail appearances the stake will be filled to {he limit., The drawing takes place this evening at Pythian Castle, at half-past 8 oolock, and no doubt one of the largest Crowds ever present at a drawing will be on hand. The advance sale of excursion fickets has been very large, the low rate of $4 for the round trip being a great in- ducement for many to enjoy a few days outing, including hunters as well as leash- oo Cas wild duck and geese are very plentiful in the vicinity of Merced. LADIES IN DOUBLES AND SINGLES TOURNAMENTS Rarely have the courts of the California Tennis Club received as much patronage as during the past week. The fine weather has brought out the players of both sexes and some spirited matches have resulted. On Wednesday afternoon the ladies played a singles handica tournament, which was left unfinished. Miss Hunter defeated Miss Foster, who was handicapped 15, in two straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. 'To the surprise of all Miss Mason played Miss Hoffman for the first place in the first class, and won out to the score of 7-5, 6-0. Then Miss Hunter met Miss Mason, the latter giving the former odds of 15, which proved.too big a handicap, however, for Miss Mason, who lost the first set, 7-5. The concluding sets will be viayed on Monday. is morning the ladies will play in a doubles tournament. The following ladies will post their names, the teams to be drawn just before the tournament: Miss Mason, Miss Hunter, Miss Bowman. Miss Eisen, Miss Foster and Miss Chese- brough. The men have been out in force and some very fine tennis has been witnessed on the courts.

The South Ends' annual entertainment and dance will take place at Union-square Hall on Tuesday evening, November 1. Plenty of talent has been engaged, and a pleasant evening is expected. The Ploneers are taking a greater in- terest in the approaching regatta than they have done in any previous one, and are working enthusiastically to make it a highly successful affair. To-morrow the captain will get the crews ‘together at the poathouse and arrange about the boats to be used by them. The Dolphins, who gave a very success- ful ladies’ day at their boathouse on July 31, proposed to hold another to-mor- row, but have now decided not to do so. Their twentleth anniversary entertain- ment and recefmon will be given at Na- tive Sons’ Hall on Wednesday evening next, November 2. The only entry from the Dolphins at the champtonshlg regatta will be the intermediate crew, which ch beat the Ariel and South End junfors at Long Bridge on Jufy 3 of this year. The Ariel junior crew, consisting of E. McDonough, bow; A. Haughton, No. 2} F. Loth, No. 38, and E. Lynch, stroke, has moved into speclal quarters near the boathouse 0 as to facilitate practicing. The men go out at 5:3) every morning, and again in the evening under the coach. The Ariel inter- ing_of J. R. Bockman. mediate barge crew is made up thus: H. Wilson, bow; J. McKenna, No. 2; G.

The new barge, the seats and rudder of which required some alteration, ‘was delivered a day or two ago. No- lan will get a senior barge crew to- gether, but, as it is not yet made up, its chances of winning will not be very good. F\ Wilson and G. W. Phelan will enter the senfor skiff race, and J. McKenna and J. Fickert the junior event. It is possible that willlam McAusland may row in a shell, but he has had little or no practice lately. H. Wittkopp also may enter the shell race. The Ariels gave their .annual reception and dance at Union-square Hall on Thursday evening. It was very well attended.

Angelrs can well afford to lay back on their rods” for a few winters and discuss the grand entertainments they had last winter on Russian River. The striped bass which promised no end of enjoyment to anglers who take pleas- ure in_‘“still” fishing, have disappeared from their feeding grounds in the Oak- land estuary as mysteriously as when they came. The fishes are roamers, and to locate their whereabouts anglers must be out on prospecting trips continuously. C. A. Vogelsang, one of the deputies in the office of the Fish Commission, has recently returned from a trip to the Truckee River, where he removed half a dozen obstructions from that stream, 80 that the fish could have the full run of the river. Many years ago the lum- ber men built large dams across the river so as to make a catchment for the logs sent down from the side hills in the lo; chutes. Now all of the timber is strippe from the mountains contiguous to the stream and only a.small second growth marks the place of the forests. The mill men have had to go far back into the mountains, and hence the dams are of no use to them. More than that, the Leg- islature of Nevada has taken hold of the fish Breservnllon question and has aided thek alifornia. commission greatly in its work. The reason for the interest of the Cali- fornia Commissioners in the future of the Truckee River {s because its headwaters are the finest in the State for Mr. Vogelsang and a party of four men worked for several days blowing up the obstructions with giant powder, for the dams were built of large logs and so well put in that it was impossible for a trout to get over or around them. short time ago Commissioner Gould visit- ed-the Truckee and induced the lumber men on the lower end to gllce fish lad- ders in the stream around their dams. Since Mr. Vogelsang's work is finished the river {s now open from ramid Lake to the very headwaters and it is belleved that the right of way will be productive of good results in the near ‘the large mykiss native of will ascend the stream an mean sport ad libitum.

From its very infancy there has been a scarcity of good talent. Neariy every ball player available in this State and Oregon has been given a chance, and while from among them some very good players have materialized, yet it is use- less for any one to say that there is not room for improvement. Every team in the league could stand another good man, and some of them, goodness knows, could stand eight or nine. Would it not then, in view of this fact, and in conjunction, of course, with the other many advantages to be gained by such a move, be a good idea for the directors of the league to open its doors to these brilliant manipulators of the horse hide. 1 think so, and those with whom T have discussed the subject agree with me. They say it would boom the game ‘out of sight,” and as they pay their little quarters regularly at the gates of Recreation Park, some little consid- eration should be given them. It would be an easy matter to distribute Lange, Hughes, Mertes, Reitz, Chance, ! Beckley, Irwin, McHale and Van Halt- ren. Give each ciub a man, and then let the weaker team have the preference in taking those two glayern ‘who will neces- sarily be left over by an equal division. No team can then complain; all will profit by the scheme; the fan’s will whoo, er up as they never dld before; an those- ever welcome 25-cent pleces will simply pour in. And then again these Eastern men will improve the style at lay. Their coaching, particularly dur- ng critical situations, will be of invalu- able service; their presence will even give a tone to things, and a bit of this will make us all feel ilke somebody. I would, therefore, suggest that the league call a meeting and have these players signed at once. Good players are needed, and such an elegant chance to secure them should not be overlooked. % JOE CORBETT. B Charged With Embezzlement. J. A.

Suit has been brought, in the interests of the bondholders, to foreclose the mortgage on the club property, which will doubtless be sold. The Pacific Club was originally founded by certain seceding members wh n Kranciscos, and when the o Club house Wi burned iwo years ago there was considerable talk about amalgamating the two clubs, but no definite arrangement was ever reached. .Last year the club gave an order to %ngelbrecht, the boatbuilder, for six non- capsizable half-raters, for which $150 each was to be paid. The boats were lightly constructed, so that the weight of the iron shoes ‘caused the seams to open. They were constantly in need of repairs and” were a source of continual expense and worry. During the season of 135 there were to have been five races for the half-raters, and Herbert Law, form- erly commodore of the club, offered a silver cup to the boat winning a majority of the races. Later, finding that no rac took place, he withdrew the cup and pre- nted it to the Association, by which it was awarded to the yacht in the twenty-foot speciai class amaking the best timé over the speci course at the Admission day regatta. The Pacific Club s remarkable for the beauty of its clubhouse and grounds, the fewness of the boats enrolled in it, the wealth of several of members and the size and costliness their _boats. But the failure of the Pacitics and the Success of the Corinthians prove vachting is not a rich man’s sport in San rancisco Bay. The summer weather is too rough for luxurious yachtsmen, and many parts of the bay are too shoal for large boats. Owners of handsome, ex- pensive yachts manifest less club spirit than the owners of moderate-sized or small craft. They seldom join club cruises and rarely enter regattas. The San Francisco Yacht Club will hold a minstrel entertalnment on_ Wednesday evening, November 16, in Native Sons’ Hall. Vice Commodore G. T. S. White will keep the sloop Will o' the Wisp in commission for some time longer, and during the winter will lay her up in a sheltered part of Hurricane Gulch, which is protected.from the northerly and south- easterly gales that occasionally occur. The schooner Vine, which has been en- gaged in trading in_the South Seas, is anchored off the San_ Francisco Club house. Her captain, J. E. Burns, is a member of the club, Commodore E. A. Wiltsee of the Paciflcs intends to make the San Francisco house his headquar- ters. The drawbridge at Tiburon will be opened to-morrow at about 11 o'clock in the morning, and most of the yachts and arks will leave the cove and seek safe winter moorings in the lagoon. E. Dono- hoe's Speedwell will be taken up to Lark- spur and the sloops Truant, Aeolus and robably the Nixie will not go into_the agoon. The Aeolus will be allowed to dry out, and will then have her seams re- calked. Already the Corinthians, who have no sooner had one jollification than they begin to look forward to another, are talking of their New Year's day dinner— the thirteenth. The Encinals have just concluded their billiard tournament, in which Thomas O’'Connor_won the first firlze and G. T. Wright the second. A bowling tourna- ment, with contestants of oth sexes, is now In progress at the clubhouse. Cap- tain Taylor, in the yawl Emerald, and J.

They played against Burns Valley at Lower Lake on October 18, against the Lasevort Club at Lakeport on October 19 and against Lake County at Lakeport on October 20. They lost the match against Burns Valley by 27 runs, that against Lakeport by 8 wickets and that against Lake County by 22 runs. On October 22 they were beaten by the Alameda eleven at Alameda, and on October 23 by the Pacifics on the Gold- en Gate grounds.
