The regatta committee of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Un- lon met on Wednesday evening and ac- cepted the invitation of the citizens of Oakland to take part in the Fourth of July celebration there. An order was made that entry blanks for the various events should be prepared at once and that the list should remain open till the evening of July 1. There will be straight- away and relay swimming races and a water polo match, in addition to the reg- ular championship barge and outrigged sKiff races. The boating association of the Univer- sity of California and the Alameda Boat Club will enter two or three barge crews aplece and some single scullers. The South Ends, Dolphins and Arfels will also send In crews and skiffmen. The most Interesting event of the day and the one about which most speculation {s rife will be the race between George Baker of the Dolphin Boating Club in the new East- ern built skiff and Fred Ayers of the Ala- meda Boat Club in the Rogers craft. The bew representative of the Ploneer Row- ing Club on the board of managers of the Pacific Association is George Collopy, ‘who will go down to the boathouses on Long Wharf to-morrow and will try to Stir up enthusiasm for the regatta. The! Alameda Boat Club has invited the San Francisco oarsmen fo. come over to the San Antonio estuary and make use of their boathouse and equipment as freely as if they were their own. The Pioneers and Ariels, however, are in an awkward flolmon just now, as their boathouses are kely shortly to be pulled down and the site ted to them by the Harbor Com- missloners on which to erect new quar- ters has been withdrawn. The Ariels last Sunday began work on_ the construction of concrete piers for the foundation of their new house, but will not proceed with it until their position is assured. The question of the transportation of the barges and skiffs to Lake Merritt seems easy of solution. The boats will be sgnvsyled on b;h lCree:ht‘ , u;lw:g up the estuary aunch to o ggtel‘ at Twelfth street, where they will At Los Angeles Dan by Dan C, out of Mayday, won the stake, with Master Clair 2s runner;un and Sweet Briar third. taley's kennel of coursers will be trained hereafter at Petaluma and un- der the charge of Trainer McCaffrey. A. C. Bradbury has petitioned the Cali- fornia Coursing. Committee, asking that bcdy to rescind its former action in_whick it canceled his trainer’s license and ruled | him off for life. Bradbury and Bradshaw, who were in charge of Joe Watkins' dropped from the game because of their ith the doping of ome of their hounds at Ingleside Park more than a year ago. The men were tried and ruled off. The offense was a palpable one and r;xuged in a most disgraceful scene on tl Bradbury in his petition avers that he is an innocent victim and pleads, because of old age and many injuries, that he is be lifted out of the water, carried across the road and placed in the lake. slough leading to the flood gates has been improved and is deep enough for hoats even at low tide.

FLY-CASTERS WILL CONTEST TO-DAY Reports of Good Fishing Are Received From the Interior. > The San Francisco Fly-casting Club will hold a re-entry contest at Stow Lake this afternoon and to-morrow. On Tucsday evening next the club will hold its bi- monthly dinner at the California Hotel. The feature of the entertainment ar- ranged for the dinner will be an address by Horace Briggs. His subject will be “Fly-casters of Yesterday." Walter D. Mansfleld, John Siebe, Edwin Everett and A. C. Carman returned from the McCloud River on Monday last. They report the fishing good. M. L. Cross, who is collecting black bass for distribution for the Fish Com- mission, was sent to the Salt Spring Val- ley reservoir near Milton and reports that the reservoir is a very extensive body of water and well stocked and that the fry cf this year are about two inches long. Mr. Cross is filling applications in the vicinity of Stockton. Later he will take up distribution from Russian River, get- ting the fish from the land-locked waters, The trout season opened at Tahoe on the 1st, and reports received during the past week state that the weather was de. lhightful.

YACHTSMEN JOIN . HANDS AND FORM AN ASSOCIATION SIX CLUBS ARE BANDED Yawl Frolic After Trading in Alaska Joins the Corin- thians. For a time it looked as though the only clubs to remain in the Pacifie Interclub Yacht Association would be the San Fran- cisco and Corinthian, in which case the association must have gone out of exist- ence, three clubs being necessary to its legal life. But the proposal made by the Corirthians that the yacht clubs should pay their share of the expenses of the association exactly in proportion to the number of beats entered by each club at the annual races was so clearly equitable that all the eclubs, on being invited to come into the assoclation, accepted readily. All have not yet appointed dele- gates, but this will be done in the near future. The delegates of the San Franciseo Yacht Club are A. C. Lee of the yacht Surprise, A. N. Follanstee of the yawl Phyllis and A. B. Palmer. As all three are ygcht owners, and it is necessary that one of the three delegates should be a non-cwner, one of these will' have to re- tire The delegates appointed at the meet- ing of the California Yacht Club last week are Commodore 8. S. Marshall, Vice-Com- modere C. E. Clark and Port Captain A. M. Clay, but as all three are owners, C. E. Clark of the yawl Gypsie retired in fa- vor of R. R. I'Hommedieu, who is an honorary member of the California Yacht Club. ‘The delegates of the ‘Corinthian Yacht Club are T. J. Kavanaugh, Orlo Eastwood and ex-Commodore T. F. Tracy The delegates of the Vallejo Yacht Club are Commodare Charles Chapman, Fleet | Captain Al Morse and Port Captain rge Warford. The Encinal and Soutk Bay yacht clubs have announced their sire to join the association, but have t yet appointed delegates. The associa- ton is thus in a more flourishing and stronger condition than ever before, and its basis is more sound. At the meeting held at the Merchants’ Exchange Allen M. Clay, trustee of the Macdonough trophy fund, was elected president: T. F. Tracy, vice-president; Orlo Eastwood, secretary, and A. B. Palmer, treasurer. The funds in the hands of the former treasurer, H. M. Landsberger, have been turned over to the new officlal. T. J. Kavanaugh, A. C. Lee and 8. S. Marshall were appointed on the trophy committee, whose duty it will be to select the cups to be awarded in the various classes at the annual races. e regatta committee. which must con- sist of non-owners. wiil be appointed at the next meeting of the association. Com- modore J. M. Macdonough was selected as the association’s representative to the Yacht Racing Association of North Amer- lca. Last.year a committee to revise the signal code was appointed, and it was !uxsestf that a new and accurate list of achts §ow enrolled in the clubs should prepared and printed in such a form that it can easily be added to the code. The next meeting of the association will not be held till Wednesday, July 24, as grltlw Enttv;oodi !her secretary, is about eave the city for a trip to the Ha- wallan Islands. ” v The yawl Tramnntflna of the San Fran- cisco ¥acht Club is Jying at Monterey. The yawl Frolic, built many years ago by Commodore C. H. Harrison of the San Francisco and Pacific yacht clubs, and later owned by E. C. Bartlett. has re- turned from Alaskan waters, where she has been engaged in trading and is en- rolled in the Corinthian fleet. She is owned by Clarkson § be sailed by him, the members of his crew being Bruce Palmer, J. D. Keeling, Ross ‘Wright and Alanson Swain. W. G. Morrow and W. M. Edgell of the San Francisco Yaeht Club have obtained from F. A. Hyde the use of the yawl FOY&I for the season. on condition of put- ing her into commission. On giving her a trial it was found that she cannot be kept off the wind, and in the hope of curing this defect, one jib will be put on her In place of the two she carries at pres- ent. The Royal has a handsome suit of salls cut by Cousens & Payne, but some- thing is wrong with her sail-plan. Though the Boston plans for the chal. lenger for the San Francisco Perpetual Cup have been vlaced in the hands of some boat-builders, no definite arrange- ments have been made to construct her. The builders, however. and all who have seen t.e plans think that they are excel- lent.. and that if followed. a strong. weatherly and very fast boat will be the result. She has a big overhang at stem and stern, but will be a genuine yacht, constructed on_modern lines. An ex-sec- retary of the San Francisco Yacht Club =ays positively that there will be a race for the trophy during the present season. Postal Men on the Diamond. On the Sixteenth and Folsom streets grounds to-morrow afternoon the San Francisco vostoffice clerks and the San Francisco letter carriers will mingle in a championship game of baseball.
