Californ’a Fish | AEEx | Commissicn, i gusa | The officials of Nevada have at last awakened to the importance of seconding offorts of the California State Fish Commission in preserving the trout in Truckee River. This trout strearh, pro- nounced the finest on the cc in Nevada. In the past the fish have not been protected in that State and the ef- s of the California officlals on thelr side of the line have been nullified. Fish and Game Commissioner Vogelsang made a special trip there a few days since and held several conferences with the Nevada officials. As a result they adopted resolution reciting the necessity of protecting fish in the close season, the bullding and main- tenance of tish ladders and the prevention of millmen dGumping sawdust into the river. The resolution directs the District Attorney, Sheriff and Constables to exert every effort to protect the fish, A new fishladder has been erected re- cently near Reno and three more are to be added. One Is in course of construction near Verdl. The Fish Commissioners hope | to take spawn on the Truckee next spring and will then stock it to its fullest ca- pacity The Fly Casting Club will be held at Jules on Tucsday evening. Archie J.

The snipe and duck shoot- ing is remarkably good. On Monday they killed thirty-seven snipe on the marsh in front of the lodge. They also secured good bags of canvasbacks and mallard. The scason opened on the 1st inst. They spent one day in quest of deer, but say no_signs of them. The enthusiasts who went across the bay on Sunday to fish the estuary for striped bass returned practically empty- handed. Among the well-known rod- wiel were: Turner, Brotherton, “Doc’’ Watt, Christianson, Wilson and Babcock. The net result for the day was three or four small fish, F. H.

They are the advance guard of a | large number of fishermen who will go | north for the splendid sport offered there. | John Gallagher went up some days since | and his first essay on the river netted him two large steelheads and seventeen small ones. The fishing is pronounced remark- | able for 80 early in the season. Colonel Kelihor and C. G. Young are three weeks. J. W. Orear of Oakland goes to Webber Lake and Meadow Lake to-day for the fishing and grouse-shooting. A party of 100 fishermen went to the Farallones on the steamer Point Arena last Saturday. W. R.

The important point in the proposed amendment {s the inclusion of rowing in the list of sports to be controlled by the Pacific Association, though the Amateur Athletic Union, of which the association | is a member, exercises no jurisdiction over oarsmen, leaving their affairs to the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen. the amendment will pass, the matter having been thoroughly thrashed out some months ago. Last Sunday there was a large attend- ance of members at the South End boat- house, and several went out in skiffs or barges. For the present the recently com- pleted handball_court is attraeting much attention. The “Irish” barge crew is ex- ected to return from Manila by the next ransport. The Acme Club has promised to pay $10 per month to the South Ends as compensation for the loss of the barge Garfield, which was burned in 1895 while in the Keeping of the Acme Club. A new junfor barge crew has been formed. It is made up of two skiffmen, a handball player and an oarsman—J. Foley and Dr. C. 'C. Dennils, Al Hampton and Emii Blumlein.
