TO-DAY AT SAUSALITO RAMONA. TRUANT. RAINS RETARD TROLT FISHING Give Angling With the Fly a Setback,' but Do Not Spoil Sport With Bait P The rains of the past week have given the anglers who are devotees of fiy- fishing another setback. as the streams | are higher than they were and the time when the trout will take the fly has been put farther away. The rain will have but little effect on the bati fish- ing, which is reported good at present. One effect of the late rains will be to freshen up the streams and to help the last run of small fish, which usually come in from the ocean about this time. In a dry year they cannot get far up the stream, but this year they can do s0. This should make the late fishing good. The nearby streams still attract a! large number of anglers, but this is only the skirmish line of the army which will be afield later on, when the sport begins on the rivers and moun- tain lakes. The first of the great fly- fishing will be engaged in the Rig Meadows at the headwaters of the Feather River. About the same time the McCloud will be available, then the upper Sacramento, and finally the Truckee. Flyfishing on the latter stream is seldom good before July. Many of the men out now believe “It is not all of fishing to catch fish.,” They are repaid by the pleasure of be- ing on the stream under the blue skies. The sight of the wild flowerg“in théir profusion and the general fr ess of the country are alone sut t to at- tract the lover of nature o f doork. The Paper Mill, although ped by many men, continues to d good catches to those who know its peculiar- ities. Some large fish have been taken at, Point Reyes. Four steelheads landed there ranged from 2% pounds to 6 pounds. Quite a number of fish from 6 to 10 inches in length have been taken there on the fly. To secure a good catch the fisherman must know all the conditions of the water. He must also know how and where to cast. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the noted au- thor, will return to Princeton with a high opinion of California anglers and of California angling. As the guest of Charles S. Wheeler at the latter's country home on the McCloud he had the unalloyed pleasure of landing a seven-pound Dolly Varden. These fish put up a stubborn fight like that of the bulldog. Others of the trout fam- ily fight for their liyes near the sur- face, but thé Dolly Varden usually seek ‘the depths and it requires great skill # bring ‘them to the landing net. The Dolly Varden preys on the small- er trout and when a full-grown one is taken the fisherman usually says, “That means another 50,000 rainbow trout saved.” Many fish are being taken on the McCloud with bait at the present time. ‘William Halstedt and some friends fished the San Lorenzo near Santa Cruz recently.and had good sport. ‘W. W. Richards will soon be on his favorite streams in Santa Cruz County. He knows this territory thoroughly. Al Cumming and party left last night for the Klamath.

HAVE LICENSES New State Law Classifies Owners Who | Run Their Own Cars as “Mechanies.™ After to-day no one, whether owner or chauffeur, will be permitted to op- erate a motor car on. any highway or public road in the State unless he is duly registered in accordance with the provisions of the law regulating the ownership and use of automobiles. A supply of blanks for the registra- tion of motor vehicles and of chauf- feurs has been received from the Sec- retary of State and members of the Automobile Club of California may obtain them by application to A. J. Frey, the secretary, at the offices of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. There has been some discussion as to whether an owner who operates his motor car is required to register as chauffeur or not. The owner of a car, when operating it himself, is a “me- chanic” within the meaning of the law and must be registered as a chauffeur. The law even goes further than this. If the wife, son or daughter of an owner who is duly registered as the law requires desires to operate the motor car he or she must take out a license as a chauffeur. The membership roll of the Auto- mobile Club of California now has about 400 names of people in all parts of the State, the number of members | having been all but doubled since the 1st of January of this year. It is ex- pected this will be an active season among the automobilists of California. The Supervisors of Santa Cruz Coun- ty have already declared the mountain road open, saying that if the State law is constitutional the road would be open without any action on thewr part as soon as the law becomes op- ative. er’.l'ge first run of the Automobile Club during the present season will take place next Saturday and Sunday, the 29th and 30th inst., to San Jose, those ]m TRAMONTANA. TENIS CRACKS AFTER HONORS Championship of San Fran- ciseo County Brings Out the Keenest of Rivalry —_— The next tennis event of importance will be the annual event for the cham- plonship of San Francisco. It will be played as usual on May 30 at the Cali- fornia Club. This will be the first championship evént of the year and each and every tennis crack in the city Is anxious to win the title. J. D. Mac- | Gavin, the present champion, will' not defend. Unless Percy Murdock de- cides to play the championship will probably go to George Baker. The Jatter is a trifle stronger than any of the other players and will he { in Mittle danger of losing unless some- body like Murdock decides to enter. The others who would have a chance against Baker are George Janes, Her- bert Long, Charles Foley, Clarence Griffin, Harry Rolfe, Neil Baker, Her- bert Schmidt and Carl Gardner. The Academic Athletic League ten- s tournaments are scheduled for the 29th inst. and for May 13. The singles will be played a week from next Sat- urday and the doubles two weeks later. Some of the schools are anx- ious to hold the doubles across the jbay, but the players from this city are opposeqd to this plan. As most of the school represented are in this city, the doubles, as well as the singles, will probably be played, as in the past, on the California Club courts. There will be an unusual number of high-class players in both events this year, judging from the entry list on this side of the bay. Lowell High School will be represented by Herberr Long and Melville Long in doubles and by. the former in singles. Lick will have Marius Hotchkiss and Harold Ga- briel in doubles and one or the other in singles, probably Hotchkiss. Poly- technic will also have a strong repre- sentative in singles. It will pin its faith to Charles Foley. The latter in one of the cleverest players at the park. That the singles championship will go to either him or Herbert Long is almost a certainty. In doubles Poly- technic will not be so strong. Foley will have rather a weak partner. The doubles championship will in all prob- ability go to either the Long brothers or Gabriel and Hotehkiss. The players from across the bay have not been heard frem, but it is safe to say none will turn up that Foley and Long need fear much. Although active players ara more numerous in the California_Club than ever before, there seems to be less in- terest in tournaments than formerly. Especially is this so among the so- called first class and second -class players. Both of these classes are com- paratively small and the players show little or no inclination to try conclu- sions with one another. A state of affairs entirely different exists in the third a!‘d fourth classes. These sections are "both large and rivalry Is keen among the Jower class- men. The players are evenly matched and go into a tournament with a de- termination to win if possible. Arrangements are under way for a tournament to settle the grammar school championship. A cup has been donated and the first annual tourna- ment will be played probably during the month of May. Many of the boys in the Junior Club go to grammar school and they are anxious to settle the question of supremacy among them. Two tournaments will be completed to-day and to-morrow. morn- ing on the park courts Miss Lulu Wegener and Mrs. Watson (owe 15 1-6) and Miss Weed and Miss Van Vliet (1-6) will meet in the fAnals of the handicap double tournament for the Olds cups. . who take part reaching the rendez- vous at the Hotel Vendome by the route and at the time they prefer.
