The investment company | was incorporated in 1902 for the pur-, pose of doing a real estate business, with a capital of 50,000 shares valued at $10 each, and the guaranty com- pany became the owner of 26,000 shares represented by certificate No. 13. A demand for the delivery of the shares was made on June 7 last, but it was refused. Hence the demand for damages and the recovery of the stock. William H. H. Hart is attorney for the plaintiff corporation. tions stakes —————————— AMSTERDAM, July 22.—It is understood Leeds, the agent of || nnex the big end of the | | Dilion and Consuela 8, while second | | ISpeckled Beauties o % sl .

The reports from that region have attracted many anglers from this city, and several parties left for there during the past week. Reports from Aptos, Capitola, Mon- terey and Santa Cruz would indicate that the salmon fishing there is very good. Rev. Father O'Ryan and party met with unusual success during the last few days. They shipped a quantity of splendid salmon to friends in this city on Friday, and shy that the big fellows are running well there. Angling at the preserves of the Coun- try Club has been a great disappoint- ment this season. Many of the fisher- men have left in disgust after failing to land any fish. The waters there haye not yet subsided. Expert fishermen be- Most of the ! lleve that the trout will be more plen- tiful there in a few days twelve to eighteen inches too high at the present time. The colonel, who is at present at Castella, averages about a dozen fair-sized trout each night. Judge Nusbaumer of Oakland, who has a fishing lodge at Sweet Brier, near Castella, is pronounced the best fisherman on the river. He is invari- ably successful. The trout are as plen- tiful in the river as ever, but they are becoming wary and it requires an ex- pert to get them out. Jim Loftus and a friend recently took seventy-three brook trout out of Castle Creek, some five miles from Castella. —_—— SUES FOR PERSONAL DAMAGES.—Ed- ward Dexter yesterday sued the United Rail- roads for damages jn the sum of $15,8x1 15 for personal injuries alleged to have been re- celved on March 16, when he was passenger on a Lake-street car. He declares that he was alighting from the car in the dark and no warning gong or light told him of a car ap- proaching on the other track. He was struck, he says, broken. and his arm and three ribs were (TARS WILL PLAY WELL-STOCKEP TROUT STREAMS ATTRACT ANGLERS TO COUNTY ELEVEN e A team of cricketers representing the San Francisco County Club will play a match this afternoon against an eleven made up and captained by the Rev. S. H. Wingfield-Digby, chaplain of the Seamen's Institute. The San Francisco County team will consist of H, F. Pepys, A. Davies, C. W. Irish,"H. E. Boulton, A. C. Chadwick, W. Petherick, Henry Ward Sr.,, A. W. Wilding, T. H. A. Tiedemann, H. N. Storrs and Henry Roberts. The Seamen’s Institute team will be chosen from the following: The Rev. S. H. Wingfield-Digby, the Rev.

Lee, Thomas of the ship Whittlieburn; McArthur, Swan and Hall of the ship Kynance, Eubank of the ship Silberhorn, McInnes of the ship Norma and Brock of the ship Al- goa. The game will begin at 2:30 p. m. on the ground at Webster street, Ala- meda. To-morrow the Alameda and Pacific elevens will meet for the third time during the present season on the ground at Webster street, Alameda. Reckoning the results of: play’ upyto Saturday, July 16, Harold 'B. Richard- son of the San Francisco County Club is at the head of the batting list with an average for each completed inning of 208 runs. E. H. Wilkes of the Pacific Club stafds at the head of the bowling list, with an average of 7.88 runs for each wicket. He has, however, bowled little this year and has taken fewer wickets than any ef the ten bowlers whose names appear in the bowling list except Harold B. Richardson and A. McNamara. The list of batting aver- ages follows: . NEW CLUBHOUSE FOR YACHTSMEN foundations of the new clubhouse to be built by the California Yacht Club. A little informal ceremony will accom- | The California | pany the operation. Yacht Club Building Association has been in existence for some time, and has collected, by instaliments, a con-| siderable sum of money toward t.e construction of a new clubhouse for the amateur sailors of Oakland and Alameda. Plans for a thoroughly equipped yacht clubhouse, with all modern con- veniences, were prepared some time ago and, though these cannot be car- ried out completely at once, it has been thought better to make a start. The club has outgrown its present small quarters and an anchorage nearer to the bay is much desired, so as to avold the beat out of the estuary and the long run home, which sometimes had to be made against a foul tide with a light breeze. The ceremony of driving the first pile was to have been held last Saturday, but was delayed for lack of the necessary material. The annual. cruise of the San Fran- clsco and California Yacht clubs up the Sacramento River begins to-day. The yachts will return -to their mo&*- ings- at Sausalito and Oakland Creek on Sunday, July 31. As Commodore ‘W. G. Morrow will be on the cruise in the flagship Challenger, the ceremony of handing over the perpetual challenge cup to the Corinthians, which was to have been held at Tiburon next Satur- day evening, will be deferred to a later day.

This year the players are so that those town will not be missed. | numerous There will be tournament play almost every Sunday up to September 1, and the Cali Club for the first time in years will [ hold a tourney in July. It will be a | handicap doubles and will Directors’ cups. These valuable trophies have not won twice by the same team. Herbert Schmidt, one of the winners, is out of town and the cups will go to a new team on Sunday. Rolfe and Schmidt have their names on them twice. Smith | brothers, Allen and Hill and Allen and { | i | the Jatter is the only team now in the competition. On the Park courts the first and sec- | ond classes will be completed to-mor- row and the third and fourth classes commenced. In the first class there ;V\‘ill be three matches and they are all expected to prove close and interesting. Clarence Griffin and George Baker will come together fifst and, although the latter is expected to win, Griffip is con- ceded a chance. He has been improv- about a year, and he will be a hard man for the public court experts to beat in future. In the other semi-final match Carl the contestants. | but little attention. In the last month or two he has beaten some good men and is playing a fine tournament game. His opponent is an old player who has seen his best days and it is doubtful if he can take Gardner's measure in his present condition. The Whitney of old would have no difficulty beating such men as are in the first class, but he is not playing the game he did once. The sémi-finals wiil be played at 10:30 and the finals at 2:30. | 1Inthe second class but one match re- | maigs to be played, and it should prove la good one. | Adams will meet and they are so even- winner. Adams is erratic and cannot be depended upon, while Mann plays a | steady game and is always good for about so much. He should beat Adam: Mann is the only ambidextrous player on the coast. He is naturally right- handed and learned to play the game with that hand. He now plays fully as well if not better with his left hand. The third and fourth class matches will not be much to look. at, as the | players are possessed of but little skill. They are evenly matched, however, | and what they lack in skill they make lup for in enthusiasm. The twertieth annual for the championship of Southern Cali- fornia will be heid on the new courts at Pasadena next week.
