The former is weil known to habitues of the local racetracks. Ter. days ago he was purchased by P. Ryan at auction for $1700. His win from Wax Taper certainly shows that Ryan got a bargain, Jockey Shaw still keeps winning races, and if he carries his average will cer- tainly be away ahead at the end of the season. On Thursday he won three races, one second and once outside the money out of five mounts. Rolling Boer, in Hildreth's stable, ran second Thursday to Pink Coat in a hand- icap at Chicago. Riley Grannan, who created consterna- tion in the hearts of many bookmakers not only in America but across the pond several years ago, but who lately has had a streak of hard luck, is reported to be riding on Basy street. Recently he won quite a sum. John Lodge certainly has the sympathy of the sporting public over the loss of his crack chestnut colt Rory Ough. He received an offer of $4000 for the son of Friar Tuck, but declined. The colt died suddenly Wednesday. Water Color, the California bred co!t by Watercress, again demonstrated last Thursday what a crack three-year-old he is by picking up 129 pounds and winning a mile and a quarter race in 2:07. He was purchased at the recent closing out sale of the Littlefield horses for $23,000 by Davy Johnson, acting for J. B. Haggin. B e —— Swimming at Sutro’s.

COURT PLAYERS WILL SOON GO INTO TRAINING Big Tourqaments at San Rafael in the Single and the Double Events The biggest local tennis events ever held on the coast are scheduled for the end of August and the early part of September. Play will commence on the 30th of Au- gust. On that date and the 31st the cham- pionship singles of the coast for ladies will be held. The men's tournaments will commence on September 2 and end on Sep- tember 9. During this time the gentle- men's singles and doubles for the cham- pionship of the coast will be held and pos- sibly a mixed doubles event. The order of events has not as yet been settled, but will be as soon as the meet- ing of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis As- sociation is held. If the ladles’ tourna- ment is not held on August 30 and 31 it will take place on August 23 and 24. The Hotel Rafael has already com- menced to change the courts as suggested last week. The principal fault lies in the slope at the base line, which s very an- noying to the players. Besides causing them to make double faults it also inter- feres with the run-in game. The courts are now being made level and will be in perfzet condition by the time the next tournament is played. The cbgect of the association in chang- ing the date of the championship singles of the coast from July to September was to get the cracks from the Northern States and from Southern California to enter. These men have given it out that they would journey to San Rafael if the doubles and singles were held at the same time. With such men as Freeman, Foulkes, Goward and Goss from the north and Bell, Hendricks and Sinsabaugh front the south entered, the local cracks would have to do their best to keep the cham- pionship at home. Tt will be interesting to know how such men as Smith, Brown, Collier and MacGavin compare with these cracks. Goss, the champion of Oregon, beat several of the best second class men in rrnctlce, but was beaten by Grant Smith in one of the local tournaments. The local cracks of the second class would probably have their hands full in a match with either Bell, Foulkes or Goward. Heretofore ' Collier has been the only man to practice daily on the local courts, but since the tournament of last week four other men have been out, practicing constantly. Fred Brown of Oakland, Merle Johnson, Drummond MacGavin and 3 Grant Smith are out every day and are improving very rapidly. Smith and Brown met twice during the week, and although the former won each time in straight sets play was very close. Brown, MacGavin and Smith have each taken a fall out of Johnson during the week. Although Mac- Gavin beat Brown in the University of California try-out, the latter now beats him regularly. These two men, with Grant Smith, are the most promising men in the second class. Of the third class men Chet Smith is probably the most promising. Sumner Hardy will commence training next week and will again try to wrest the coast. championship honors from George ‘Whitney. Spaulding & Co. have offered a handsome ngl cup, valued at $300, for the ccast chafpionship. The cup must be won three times before it becomes the property of any player. The lady players are doing most of thelr practice work across the bay. The entry list will not be very large, but the tennis will have considerable class to it. The matches between the Shtton flrls and Misses Hall and Hoffmann should be good ones. ARIELS WILL HAVE MOVABLE HOUSE The Ariel Rowing Club has been so much discouraged at having the site for- merly granted to them by the Harbor Commissioners taken away, after about $100 and a considerable amount of work had been expended on concrete plers on which to build the house, that the project of constructing a permanent house ashore has been almost definitely abandoned. A committee has been appointed to consider the purchase of a barge on which to build a house, which can then be towed to any part of the bay. This seems an excellent plan, and it is not unlikely that the South End Rowing Club may aiso put its house oxll‘gefl‘)oitfsmen of this cit; h city were gratified with the Lake Mg'l‘fltt regr:‘lx&, though the arrargements for the comfort of the contestants and for starting the races were somewhat defective. Their idea is to establish on the lake quarters for all the city clubs, where boats can be housed and contestants can dress com- fortably. Lake Merritt or Oakland Creek are the only places within easy reach of San Francisco that afford smooth water, and of the two Lake Merritt is much more satisfactory for spectators than the es- tuary In its present condition. The date of the eighth annual Astoria regatta has been changed from August 15, 16 and 17 to August 29, 30 and 31. This was done in order to give .the owners of launches on the Columbia River time to clean up aftersthe fishing season, so that YACHTSMEN PR CRUISES EPARE FOR AND REGATTAS Perpetual Cup Race Plans---San Francisco Club Dance---Novel Corinthian Event. HE San Francisco Yacht Club will ¢ give a dance in its clubhouse at | Sausalito this evening, beginning at 8 o'clock. Boats will leave this city for Sausalito at 5:15, 6:15 and 6:45 p. m., and leave Sausalito on the re- turn trip at 10:55 p. m. To-morrow most of the boats will take | parties of friends out for a cruise on the | upper bay, the tide, which is kigh at 11:15 a. m. and runs out until 3:40 p. m., being favorable for a trip up the bay. The Cal- | ifornias have 2 cruise to Paradise Cove | scheduled for to-day, returning to-mor- row. The semi-annual meeting of the Califor- nia Yacht Club was held recently, but owing to the lack of a quorum no busi- | ness was transacted. Some of the yachts | in Oakland Creek half-masted their flags for two or three days out of respect to the memory _of Hugh McA. Marshall, | brother of Commodore S. S. Marshall, who lost his life last Sunday by drown- ing in Napa Creek .on the return of the vacht Thelma from a visit on the Fourth accident afternoon on that day. The course is the regular Corinthian one. The race will be vnder the management of the regatta committees of the Corinthian and Vallejo yacht clubs. The only thing against the selection of August 24 is the fact that the nnual river ise of the Corinthians akes place during that week, and some | enthusiastic yachtsmen who are up the Sacramento will miss the cup race. Ac- cording to the Corinthian schedule the fleet should be at Vallejo on Saturday, August 24, to meet the ‘yachts returning from the river, but if the race takes placs on that day the rendezvous at Vallejo will be abandoned. As, hoyever, the tide will be running out until {6 p. m. on the 24th, the vachts might make Vallejo on the evening of the 23d and drop down to San Francisco in time to see the cup race next da When the yawl Tramontana returned last Sund from Santa Cruz and Mon- terey to Sausalito she had a good deal of trouble in making her moorings. Coming up under full headway she went right past them, put about and missed them again, then dropped an anchor and swung round into‘the sloop Thetis.

FISHING IN THE STREAMS OF PLUIAS ‘ Interesting Letter Con=- taining Information of Value to the Anglers The following letter from Big Meadows, Plumas County, will be of interest to fish- erm It is written by a devoted angler and contains much general information regarding the condition of streams In that locality: “W8 left Chico at 7 o’clock, arriving at the Sutton House, thirty-five miles out, at about 4 p. m., rigged up our rods at once and fished Butte Creek just back of the house until evening. Butte Creek is a sylendid looking stream, but p: of nothing but small fish. ing we started at ¥, arriving Meadows, Bunnell's, at 3 o'clock. five miles of the sixty are made in a heavily timbered country and across sev- eral small streams which look most invit- ing to the angler. They were, however, running bank full and will not be ready for fishing until late in July. “When one arrives at Big Meadows or Bunnell's he is much disappointed at first glance. You see nothing but a slough 200 fcet wide, marshy c h sides in mest places and you what under heaven you are up against. And after trying the ‘slo the same night and getting only five small fish, you almost wont to treck back to Chico. The next No fishing. rt, but a good ending. wonderful country it leasure to visit.

War- ners Creéek and Willow Creek are nice large streams filled with big fish. Mr. Vogelsang and Horace Smyth have fished this, branch most successfully, taking several two and three pound fish. They used No. 10 and No. 12 march brown and caddis flies. Roscoe Haven and Mr. Leet favor Mountain Meadow Creek, six miles up the meadows. It must be an anglers’ paradise, for they always come home with a full basket. Then there is the Big Spring, ‘five and a half miles from Bun- neil's and about a third the size of Web- ber Lake, as cold as ice cold sorings can make it. Messrs. Smyth and Finch last week filled their creels in three hours’ fishing, the smallest fish weighing half a pound, and from this to two pounds. The water in the main stream is as yet much too high for good fishing, and I am sure from the number of fish I have seen in the smaller streams, fishing will not be at its best until the middle of July. The flles most successful at this place are blue bottle, caddis No. 1 and No. 2, brown Palmer, March brown, impr. goremer, . 12 k. gray hackle. yellow body, No. 12_hook. “Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Waterhouse of Colfax have been doing Mount Larsen and the cinder cone.
