THE WHEELMEN.
Garden City Cyclers' Relay Team— News
From All Parts of the State,
A good deal of talk was heard since the
25-mile road race was run last Sunday
about what might have happened if things j
had been different. Some say that Ul- j
bricht should have set such a pace as to !
kill off Foster, but the latter's admirers ;
fay that was impossible— that no man can j
- I fast as to leave Foster behind.
When the latter fell from his wheel Ul
bricht had the opportunity, had he wished |
it. and that be did not take advantage of the '>
chance is evidence that either he was un
able to increase his speed or he is too !
square a sportsman to take such an unfair
advantage. Be that as it may, the fact re- i
mains that Foster remounted after bis fall, j
and as his wheel was uninjured be soon j
caught up with the scratch men again arid ;
eventually won the race.
Considerable complaint was found with
the handicapping in some instances, and
justly 80. When it is remembered that out
Of the thirty-nine original entrants ten re- !
fused to start, and of the'remaining twenty
nine starters but sixteen finished the race,
it will be seen that something was wrong, i
Some say that Handicapper Smyth is too !
busily engaged with his numerous business
duties to enable him to give all the neces- ,
fary time to the work. On the other hand,
handicapping is always a very difficult i
matter early in the season and particu- \
larly in a long road race.
Of course the uppermost topic of conver- ;
cation among wheelmen now is the great ;
annual 100-mile relay race around the bay, ;
to be run on April 7. The captains of the '
various clubs are now picking out their
teams of ten men each. In most cases
there are about half this number in each
club who can be depended upon to ride at
the necessary rate of speed, and the re- !
znainder are selected by ten-mile tryouts,
several of which are to be held over the
San Leandro course to-morrow.
The Garden City Cyclers of San Jo?e is
the first club in the field with a complete
team, which is already selected and now in
training for the event. The men who will
comprise it are: Edwards, Osen, Smith,
Jones, Delrcas, Alexander, Jarman, Hub
bard, Davis and Cushing. The club will
not bold a '■ ■ hi' «m< at ih-at
intended to do so, on the 17th inst. The
men above named are some of the fastest i
riders in California, and the team that may
defeat them will do it by a very small
margin, and the men will "know that they
have b>>en in a race.
Captain Kitchen of the Acme Club of
Oakland has n<>r yet decided upon the per
sonnel of his team, but it will, no doubt, j
fee madp up largely of the same men who |
rode for them last year.
The Olympic Club Wheelmen have six !
men selected to ride for them, Messrs. Pos
ter, Lung, Coulter, Haley. Castleman and :
Chapman. They may* add Leavitt or ;
Btinson, but the other's will have to be j
i by a try-out.
The Bay City Wheelmen will show up j
• this year, and have us a nucleus of
■ un Messrs. Wells, Ulbricht, i-
H. F. Terrill. W. A. Terrill and Griffiths.
A - this club has more racing men than any |
-i they will have little dif
ficulty in belectint: the" others; but to give I
;uir chance a ten-mile road race will '
be run to-morrow from Fruitvale to Say
wards. The result of the match will aid I
c.iptain Dodge materially in determining
of whom the remainder "of the team shall |
On April 12 and 13 the Garden City Cy- |
clers of San Jose will hold the greatest race- j
meet ever held upon the coast at th'-ir new
one-third of a mile cement track, which is
now finished. The features of the races
will be a one-mile invitation event for class ;
B riders and a ten-mile club race for class !
A. The latter race will take place the af- !
D of the second day (Saturday), to i
modate visiting wheelmen who can- ;
•n Friday.
At this meet will occur the long-looked
for meeting between Edwards arid Ziegler i
i^ j■«• :i a good track. The other participants
in the invitation race besides these two I
will be Bald, Macdonald, Harbottle, {
Bimms, Coulter, Castieman, Terrill, Foster,
Osen. Wells, Long, Davis, Deinias, Smith, (
Ulbricht and Cushing.
Saturday night after the races there
■will be ■ reception to the visiting Wheel
men at the new quarters of the Garden |
City Cyclers, and on the day following a
picnic run to Alum Rock will be held. The '
various committees are already at work .
preparing for the events. The prize list,
racing events and entry blanks will be out j
next week.
Messrs. E. C. Bald, Ray Macdonald and
W. F. Simjns, the Eastern racers, with !
Trainer Asa Windle. left the East last i
Tuesday, and are due here Monday or
Tuesday next. They will at once go into
training for some of the many events to be J
held during April, although It is doubtful j
if they can get into their very best condi- |
tion until the latter part of that month.
The Young Men's Christian Association !
Cyclers of this city are about to adopt a j
new uniform, sanipics of which were sub- i
mitted at their meeting last Tuesday even- j
ing. They will not be represented" in the j
r'-iav, but their men will be prominent in
the "many track events of the year.
To-morrow the Olympic Club Wheelmen
■will have a five-mile handicap road race
Iroui Fruitvale to San Leandro, the start
being at 12 o'clock noon. There arc four
teen entrants, and the handicapping was
done by Captain Thornton as follows: C.
li. Coulter. \V. K. Foster and K. 1 .. Long,
scratch: W. H. Haley and E. Chapman, 30
\V. J. Christ, 45 sec. ; B.W. Bernhard
and F. W. Fuller, l\i mm.; William Hob
son, C. F. Lemmon, Bert Gunn and O. H.
Hanson, VA natoy J- F. Cunningham, J.
Placeman and H. Haydenfeldt, 2 nun.
One time prize and live place prizes have
been offered for the race. Oi course the
greatest interest centers in the three
scratch men— Foster. Coulter and Long—
as they are on rival teams and are anxious
to defeat each other, Foster is in the best
condition, while Long is hardly fit to ride,
having been too busy to train. But
nevertheless a good race will result, and
the record may go.
Wallace L. Thompson of the Bay City
Wheelmen, who made such a good show- .
inn in the class A races at the Pavilion
last month, has just returned from a '
wheeling trip to Santa Cruz. He says the i
roads from here to San Mateo are very
poor wheeling. From there to San Jose
they are in excellent condition, continuing i
so to Los Gatos, where the mountain climb !
begins. In the mountains the roads, are ;
SPORT
pood and bad in places, but average well
and are all ridable as far as Santa Cruz.
Mr. Thompson made the journey both
ways on his wheel and was delighted with
his* trip.
Morton and Andre of the Liberty Club
will start for a week's trip through Santa
Cruz and Monterey counties next Satur
day.
"the Olympic Club "Wheelmen will give
bronze "century" bars to all their mem
bers who ride 100 miles within one day of
fourteen hours during the coming season.
This is a practice quite prevalent in the
East, it being the custom there after a man
has earned say five or ten bronze bars to
1 exchange thorn for one silver bar, and there
! is considerable rivalry among the riders to
; make as many centuries as possible during
1 the riding season. This practice keeps the
men interested in road-riding, and the
, clubs are consequently greatly benefited.
Frank W. Fuller baa recovered from the
severe fall he suffered while riding at the
Pavilion races last month. He has an
i nounced that he will not give up wheeling,
although he has forsworn all track-racing,
and will hereafter be only an interested
spectator.
Next Tuesday evening the Liberty Cy
cling Club will hold its brst ladies' night.
The affair takes place at the clubrooms,
; corner of Mission and Erie streets, and
! should prove very enjoyable.
Interest in wheeling has again been re
; vived in Petaluma. and a club is now in
• \ Istence there with a membership of over
! 10|). Before long the I'ay City Wheelmen
will make their regular annual pilgrimage
i in that direction, and while there will be
; the guests of the Petaluma Wheelmen,
j whose emblem is a tortoise.
The first of the California Cycling Club's
i ten-mile try-outs, to select their relay
riders, will take place to-morrow over the
i course from Frtutvale to Havwards, the
start being at 9:80 a. m. from High street,
: Fruitvale. A club run to witness the race,
j composed of those riders who will not
participate, will go over on the 8 a. m.
boat. The secona try-out will be held a
Week from to-morrow.
Napa is coming to the fore as a cycling
town and a club will soon be organized
i there. Some five or six years ago the
I Vineyard Valley Wheelmen were quite
; prominent in that vicinity and a race meet
i was held there on Thanksgiving day of
j 18S9, which proved very successful. Since
; then, however, interest in the sport has
lagged until recently. The wheelmen
there are now joining the League of
American Wheelmen and intend to again
be "in the swim."
The Imperial Club will journey to Red
wood City to-morrow, under Captain
Egan, starting from the clubrooms on
' Golden Gate avenue at 8 a. m. The ten
mile roadrace of this club, which was to be
• held to-morrow, has been postponed in
favor of this club run. The fact is the
riders of the club are not satisfied with the
Fruitvale-Haywards course, and after
riding over the road to Redwood to-mor
row may decide to hold their roadrace on
the ten-mile stretch from San Mateo^to
Redwood City, which is said to be in splen
did condition. Messrs. Adams, Bgan,
Millett, Burns and Farle, the racing com
mittee of the club, will decide this.
The Imperials have been presented by
Frank A. McCurty with a bull pup, which
bids fair to rival the celebrated mascot of
the Bay City Wheelmen, "Mike," which it
greatly resembles.
The Santa Rosa wheelmen have adopted
a new uniform, as follows: Bloomers and
coat of gray, black stockings, white sweater
and black cap. The club's emblem is a
white voie. Gray has been found the most
serviceable for a cyclist's use and it is
probable that the Garden City Cyclers of
San Jose will adopt this color.
The whcelrooni at the Olympic Club is
being considerably enlarged, as it was
found insufficient in size to accommodate
the requirements of the wheelmen's in
creasing membership.
Eruil Ulbricht. who made such a good
showing against Foster in the 25-mile race
last Sunday, has returned to Los Angeies,
where his business interests are, but will
be back here in April and will ride in the
great 100-mile relay as a member of the
Bay City Wheelmen's team. It is likely
that F. G. Lacey will also come up and ride
for the same club.
The Liberty Cycling Club has elected the
following new members: G. Payton, C.
Koch, S. Honig.sberger, C. Steimer and O.
St. Denis. The regular weekly meetings
of this club will be held on Tuesday even
ings hereafter instead of Thursday. To
morrow the club will have a. run to the
Presidio, and a roadrace over the San
Leandro course is contemplated for
April 14.
The next regular meeting of the Cali
fornia Associated Cycling Clubs will be
hfld at the rooms of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen Saturday evening, April 13.
To-morrow the Reliance Club Wheel
men of Oakland will hold their postponed
five-mile handicap roadrace from Fruit
vale to Siiii Leandro. Captain Bates says
there will be about twenty starters, and as
Harbottle, Bates and Dieckmann start
from scratch a pretty race should result.
Captain Kitchen of the Acme Club
Wheelmen of Oakland has called a ten
mile run for to-morrow from High street,
Fruitvale, to Havwards over the regular
Associated Clubs' tan-mile course. This is
more fur the purpose of picking riders for
the relay team than it is in the nature of a
road race, but the scratch men will try for
the ten-mile record nevertheless.
There is much rejoicing among class A
racers. At the recent meeting of the League
of American Wheelmen, held in New York,
the rule which limits class A prizes to
medals, jewelry, plate, etc., was amended
owing to the impossibility of enforcing it.
Now anything not exceeding $50 in value
may be given as a prize. The class B rid
ers may race for prizes not exceeding in
value $LSO. The latter class of riders can
also race wherever they like practically,
while class A men must only ride within a
radius of 200 miles of their homes.
Hereafter the dues of the league will be
75 cents a year. This does not include
the League Bulletin, subscription to which
is optional; it will hereafter be published
for 75 cents a year. The league in this
Suite is increasing in membership very
rapidly. Clubs are joining in bodies, and
many unattached rulers are coming into
the fold, realizing that they get returns for
their dues greatly in excess of the amount
expended. It costs a club nothing to be a
league club, the only requirement being
that all its members shall belong to the
organization, and by being a league club
preference is had over other club's in the
matter of sanctions for race meets, and
many other advantages are obtainable that
can only be had in that way.
The San Francisco Bicycle Track Asso
ciation held a meeting at the rooms of the
Imperial Cycling Club last Thursday even
ing, and delegates were present from all
the various clubs of this city. It was de
cided to hold a race meet at Central Park
on charter election day, April 16, and a
committee, was appointed to prepare for
the same, consisting of H. F. Wynne,
C. C. C.j G. H. Stratton, 0. C. W.; E. C.
Douglas, I. C. C; 8. J. McKnight,
Y. M. C. A.,and F. H. Watters Jr., B. C. W.
The constitution and by-laws, prepared by
a committee appointed for that purpose,
were accepted. Training quarters are to
be built ut the Central Park track at au
expense of $40 for all the c übs, save the
Bay City Wheelmen, who have arranged
for their own accommodations close by,
THE SAX FRAXCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1895.
The next meetine will be held Thursday,
March 28, at the rooms of the Young Men's
Christian Association Cycling Club.
Casey Castleman and Tom McAleer, long
distance wheelmen, are considering terms
for another race, which will probably be
run during the coming month if the boys
can get in condition in so short a time.
COURSING.
Occidental ClnVs Annual Meeting— The Great
Waterloo Event.
Twenty-five or thirty of the members of
the new Occidental Coursing Club met at
Minerva Hall, Fifteenth and Mission
streets, Thursday evening last, to make
nominations for their first coursing event
of the season, which comes off to-morrow
in Kerrigan's Golden Gate coursing park.
None but members of the club can nomi
nate or run a dog at the meeting. This is
Ayw the only organized coursing club in
this State. Henry Hull, one of the most
popular of the leashmen, is its president;
J. Perigo, one of the oldest, and it may be
said one ot the most ardent enthusiasts of
the leash, is vice-president; P. Carney is
the treasurer, and George Wattson of 1027
Turk street is its efficient secretary. Great
interest is felt by all the members in the
success of the club, afld as a result every
thing moves along smoothly.
Twenty dogs were entered for to-mor
row's event and the draw was as follows:
J. H. J'erigo's Longfellow vs. P. Carney's
Mission Boy; J. Dean's Castaway vs. I>. V,
Roach's Gold King; J. Hurley's Jimmy Rex vs.
D. Curtin's Dolly Varden; A. Merrill's Faster
and Faster vs. "P. Reilly's Rambler; ('.. Watt
son's Belmont vs. J. Moffett's Trix ; J. Dean's
Rustic Maid vs. J. Tracy's Terrible Hwede; W.
Perry's Cooiuahsle vs. A. Merrill's Butcher' Bo y;
J. Tracy's Bandow vs. li. Hull's PD 8; J. H.
Perieo's Wee Lassie vs. H. Hull's John Mit
chell; G. Wattson's Lady Clare vs. J. McCor
mack's Little Rose.
Field officers — Judge, John Grace; slipper,
James Wren; slip steward, J. Perigo; flag stew
ard, 1). Curtiu; field stewards, 1). D. Roach, A.
Merrill and Thomas Ford.
Prizes— First $40, second $30, third $20,
fourth and fifth $10 each.
Coursing will commence at 11:30 a. m.
Next Sunday (St. Patrick's day) there
will be a big meeting at Ocean View park,
nominations for which will be made Friday
night next at Pythian Hall. The entry
money for each dog will be $10, and most if
not all of the crack dogs of the State will
be nominated. John Grace will judge and
James Wren will slip.
Skyball, Ruby, Stamboul Queen, Wor
atak. Best Trump, Nellie Conroy, Flying
Buck, Royal Fellow, Tom Hayes, Stam
boul, Jack Dempsey, Dottie Dimple, Hark
away, Valley Queen, Vida Shaw, as well as
a host of lesser luminaries, are sure to be
nominated, and it is said the famous Sky
rocket will again make his appearance in
the leash.
Sportsman from Napa, Vailejo and Sui-
BUn had a great coursing match at Suisun
ou Sunday last. There were sixteen dogs
in the stake, six of which were from Napa.
Eighteen rabbits were killed, and accord
ing to a spectator the way they "made hare
fly" was a caution to the" fleet-footed deni
zens of the plains. Frank Henry's Black
Bart from Napa took tirst money.
It is now a settled fact that there will be
three or four at least of California's crack
freyhounds in the American Waterloo cup,
udge Grace, T. J. Cronin, W. D. Murphy
and M. W. Kerrigan having taken nomi
nations.
Up to the present there is no news of the
result of the English Waterloo cup. The
original date of the meeting was the 20th
of February, but in consequence of con
tinued wintry weather in England it wa3
postponed till the 27th; but as there is yet
no news it must have been again post
poned. The weather in England during
the month of February has been the most
inclement for years. Joe Thompson, au
Australian bookmaker, who was here a
couple of years ago intending to start a
race track," has a £10,000 book on the great
event, it is said that Colonel North of
Fullerton fame has nothing in his kennel
this year that has a chance. Count
Strogonoff, the Russian nobleman who
supplied the winner last year, will
be represented this year by Jack
Herschel or Skager Kaek, both of which
have shown great form during the present
coursing season in England. The Earl of
Sefton will be represented by his eldest
son this year, and he, in all probability,
will nominate his recent purchase, Maid
of Glenetive, for which he gave a high
price only a few months ago. L. Pilking
ton, one of the greatest of the English
leaflhmen, will send Thoughtless Beauty to
the slips, and 33 she had shown great form
in the big stakes in the northern counties
she is backed for thousands. The result of
the Waterloo all over the sporting world
now is looked for with as much interest as
the English Derby, and the amount oi
money bet on it cannot be much less than
from £ 30.00U to £70,000.
Two stakes will be run at Casserly's Park
to-morrow— a lb-dog puppy stake and an
8-dog all-agea stake. The draw for the.
puppy stake is as follows:
T. MrCoomVs Mocking Bird vs. J. Eagan's
Applause, s. a. Cumminee' St&rlijrhi vs. .1. Me-
Nc mura's Little Joe, T. .Mitchell's Flying Jib vs.
.1. Sullivan's King of the Abbey, .?. McNtmara's

The prizes are: First, $20; second, $15;
third and fourth, $10 each.
The all-aged will meet as follows :
T. Tuite's Salvator vs. S. A. Cummin?! 1 White

GUN AND GAME,
Assemblyman Bassford Congratulated— Why
Game Is Scarce Near the City.
With the exception of those sportsmen
who are the lessees of many thousands of
acres of marsh lands in Alameda, Sonoma
and Solano counties the great body of
sportsmen were delighted when the news
arrived from Sacramento that the Assem
bly had passed the bill throwing open
marsh lands to all sportsmen.
The bill was passed by a vote of 57 ayes
to 3 noes, which has proved very conclu
sively that this matter of the rich man
squatting bodily down upon his less for
tunate brother sportsman will not be tol
erated in this cosmopolitan country.
Of course the Senators will have to give
the subject their attention, but it can be
safely taid that they will concur with the
gentlemen of the Assembly, who did not
have to hesitate a moment to see into the
good and bad tides of the measure.
A majority of the sportsmen who are in
terested in duck-shooting preserves are
representatives of the Country or Tamal
pais sportsmen's club*, whose property
under lease stretches from Sausahto as far
back as the ocean on the north side of the
Howard and McShafter estates — a dis
tance of fifty miles. One would naturally
suppose that the 200 sportsmen who shoot
over this great stretch of deer, quail, snipe
and duck country would have all the sport
they could wish for without trespassing
upon the corns of the poor man who, as a
rule, has but one day of the week to enjoy
himself with his dog and gun oil
the marshes within easy reach of this city.
As Assemblyman Bassford properly re
marked, "It is a queer law which will pro
tect ducks that ruin the farmers' crops at
night and punish sportsmen who attempt
to shoot them in the daylight on preserved
lands."
Wild ducks, with the exception of
the mallard, teal and wood duck, are mi
gratory and breed in the far north. The
cry of the alleged salt marsh duck-pre
server, that game is annually becoming
scarce because there are not a sufficient
number of preserves, is the worst kind of
bosh. Why aquatic game is not as plenti
ful now as it was some years ago can be
easily accounted for. T*cn years ago the
southern country was comparatively a cattle
range, or, in other words, cattle-raising was
the principal industry. In recent years
the lands over which 'large herds roamed
have been transformed from wild and
desolate prairies into fields of grain and
fruit. Irrigation brought about the change,
and the thousands of canals that are now
feeding a great and prosperous country
| with water at all seasons of the year are
the magnets which attract the aquatic
game fowls that in former years made the
marsh lands bordering the San Joaquin
and Sacramento rivers their headquarters
during the winter season. This is the
principal reason why wild ducks are not so
plentiful near at hand as they formerly
were. The second reason why the birds are
less numerous is the increase of men who
'shoot for market. Thousands of fine ducks
that are shipped to this city in the early
months of the year are dumped into the
bay as unfit for table use. The weather in
September and October is generally very
warm and game will quickly spoil in tran
sit to this city. Market shooting should
be prohibited during the first two months
of the open season.
A good story is now being told of the
veteran sportsman, John Stack. It ap
pears that Mr. Stack was a very great lover
of duck-shooting 8 few years ago and sel
dom returned from the great quacking
grounds with less than a small wagon-load
!of game. One fine day as the great pellet
i puncher of aquatic bipeds was returning
from the chase he met the leader of a '
j family of bovines, who immediately
charged upon Mr. Stack, compelling
him to seek protection from a good
stiff horn on the srunmit of a
rock, which, fortunately for the sports
man, was within easy reach of his then
nimble nether extremities. The bull
kicked and bellowed, and defied the hunter
to come down from his high perch and do
battle. Mr. Stack grew angry, as the pros
pect of spending a cold night on a mossless
rock looked very promising for the sports
man. Finally patience ceased to be a
virtue, and Mr. Stack warmed the sides of
the king of the herd with No. ti's. The
bull kicked up a frightful fuss when he
felt the sting of the lead, and started on a
run for parts unknown. And now the
sportsman's friends are mean enough to
say that the animal is running yet. Mr.
Stack will never forget, however, "the day
he was "treed. by a "bull.
Among the sportsmen who engaged in
a blue-rock shoot last Sunday at Alameda
Point was "Painterboat" Casey, who made
a clean record during the past year by not
having killed a single duck. Casey is by
no means disheartened, and if practice
will in any way improve his shooting he
should be able to break at least half a
I dozen blue-rocks out of twenty-five before
l the season finishes. Last Sunday his
score was four breaks put of twenty-five
birds shot at, which is not bad for an'ama
teur who had handled a strange gun.
Billy Murdock says that he will make
Casey a better shot on duck than Super
visor King before the opening of the next
game-shooting season.
George Roupe, a well-known sportsman,
returned from the Columbia Mountains in
Washington recently with a number of
beautiful elk horns, two of which have
been mounted and attract considerable at
tention among sportsmen who visit the
Pacific Kennel Club's headquarters on
Kearny street. Charles Ladd received re
cently from Alaska the head of an elk
which puts everything in the way of elk
I heads in the shade. The horns are im
mense, one branch bearing eighteen prongs
and the other sixteen prongs,. Several old
sportsmen who have seen L'add's latest cu
riosity from the far north pronounce the
I horns" the most wonderful specimen of their
kind they had ever seen.
ROD AND CREEL.
A Depnty Fish Commissioner Egged for
Doing His Dnty.
Charles Cate was t he only really success
ful angler who landed large fish at Point
Reyes last Sunday. Cate caught five at a
place known as the Sand Spit, and before
he had finished the killing he succeeded
with the assistance of Al Hall in breaking
two rods, which proves conclusively that
something besides brute strength is neces
sary in playing large fish to a successful
ending.
Several small Bsh were caught at Em
barcadero, on the Sonoma Creek.
Now that the rivers and streams are very
low poaching above tidewater flourishes,
and the .rQemnHssione// would come in for
a good deal of praise if they placed depu
ties on tne near-by coast streams until the
opening of the angling season.
It is understood that a deputy left yes
terday for Glen Ellen and that an officer
will patrol the hanks of the Paper-mill
and Lagunitas creeks from now until the
Ist of April.
A Deputy Fish Commissioner recently
appointed by Mr. Emeric was instructed
to visit the streams near Napa and arrest
anybody found catching trout in fresh
water. The deputy succeeded in bugging
one transgressor of the law, who was lined
15 for having trout in his possession. The
deputy was returning well pleased with
having accomplished some good at least,
j but way met at the depot by several frienda
of the convicted law-breaker, who made
life miserable for him until such time as
he sought refuse in a railroad car.
The clothes of the offioer were painted a
thick brown color, the result of his having
stopped the flight of several hundred" eggs
which were thrown at him while he was
waiting for the train. Although there
were some of the constables of the town
present when the firing of soft eggs was
going on no arrests were made. The dep
uty had done his duty and it does not
speak well for the constables who per
mitted the disgraceful assault to continue
without either causing the arrest of the
egg-throwers or ordering them to desist.
Some of the friends of Captain J. M.
Morrison of Sacramento are using their in
fluence to have him appointed a Fish Com
missioner. Governor Budd has already
selected Harry Emeric, a sportsman and
angler, who is a strong supporter of salt
marsh preserves, and as Captain Morrison
will share with Mr. Emeric m his opinions
on this score it would hardly prove satis
factory to the general body of sportsmen
and anglers unless the Fish Commission
was evenly divided on the question of pro
viding sport for the rich and poor alike.
Anglers who appreciate literature on
their sport should read William C. Harris'
monthly magazine, the American Angler.
Part 6 contains beautiful illustrations of
various kinds of cat fishes, the kingtish
and Eastern pickerel.
THE OARSMEN.
Amatenrs Who Are Preparing for the Snmmer
Regatta.
The latest additions to the already long
list of entries for the coast championship
races on May 30, under the auspices of the
South End Rowing Club, are the St. Mary's
College and the Vailejo Club. The ath
letes from the college take their initial
spin from the boathouse of the South Ends
on this afternoon. There are ten can
didates for positions on the senior four,
and they are all athletes who have hereto
fore distinguished themselves on the grid
iron or diamond, and it will be hard to
select the four to represent the college in
the big event.
Mr. Me Arthur of the Olympic Club
promises to bring out a crew that will as
tonish the old oarsmen. It is rumored
that Mr. McArthur, who is an adept at the
oars as well as one of the best all-round
athletes the Olympic Club can boast of,
will himself row in the Olympics' senior
crew.
Mr. Cliff McClellan, captain of the Acme
Club of Oakland, only wishes that there
were a few more events. It seems that the
club is full of oarsmen, who are anxious to
cover themselves with glory and win lau
rels for their club.
The crews from Vailejo and Stockton
promise to be exceptionally strong ones,
and will have the advantage of having
their methods of rowing and training kept
secret from their opponents in San
Francisco and Oakland.
The following letter from the secretary
of the Pioneer Rowing Club is self
explanatory and proves that the Pioneers
are certainly in the swim for place this
year:
The Pioneers are no-.v showing raore activity
in rowing than ever, und everything tends to a
good season for aquatic sports. Our member
ship is increasing rapidly, and we have at pres
ent a larger number of active members than
we have had for six years. There are two
crews now in active training, viz., a heavy
weight and a lightweight amateur. The
heavy-weight crew consists of: G. Callopy,
stroke; .1. Shields, afterwaist; Fred Orr, for
wardwaist; (J. MoCormick, bow.
Lightweight crew: F. A. Michels, bow; C.
Oaks, forwardwaist ; F. J. O'Neill, af terwaist ;
H. Leech, stroke.
It is the intention of the captain to form two
more crews, as we have plenty of material, ftnd
altogether the boathouse presents a very lively
appearance.
Among the professionals who can be seen
regularly in their shells are: John T. Sullivan,
Dan Leahy, J. Dunphy, Bob Crowley, Ed Hee
nan and .J. Brennan.
The club has a new four-oared barge, spe
cially built for racing, and has christened her
the Veronica. Yours respectfully,
T. J. O'Neill, Sec. Pioneer Club.
SPOETS AT LO3 ANQELES.
Latest News of Interest to Horsemen, Wheel-
men and Athletes.
Los Akgelee, March B.— The short race
meet which will be held at Agricultural
Park during Fiesta week is attracting
much attention among horsemen. The
meet will be a running event, and many of
the best horses in the State are entered.
The principal race listed is the Newton
handicap, for a purse of $1000. There has
been some talk of attempting to get up a
race between Silkwood, the Orange County
pacer, and one of the Eastern livers, but
this project has been abandoned. Silk
wood is enjoying life at Santa Ana on
Farmer TVillits' ranch, and his owner is
disinclined to talk about a match unless
the stakes are big. The old farmer declined
offers of a liberal order from several turf
men to take his big black pacer around the
circuit this year, and utterly refuses to
allow any one else to handle his pet. It is
an oft-repeated opinion among experi
enced racing men that if Silkwood was
given a thorough course of training under
younger hands he would prove a surprise.
His record is now close to the seven-minute
mark, and he has never been closely
pressed to better it. Every year the Orange
County people come up to the regular
meet with their pockets full of "rocks" to
back the black pacer, and they generally
go home with increased capital and "a
higher admiration for "Willits' great
horse.
George Green of the Olympic Club has
been in the city several days for the pur
pose, it is supposed, of arranging for a
"go" between himself and Billy Gallagher,
the boxing instructor of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club. Since the Fraser match
was declared off the Athletic Club boys
have been busy trying to fix up another
event to take its place, and the outcome is
expected to be a "set-to" between Gallagher
and Green. Green visits the clubrooms
daily, and has had several conferences with
Gallagher and the officers.
Wheeling as a sport and pastime has re
ceived a wonderful impetus in Southern
California during the past year. Three
years ago the number of cycles ridden in
this city were numbered in the hundreds,
while now there are at least 2000 used for
business and pleasure. There are thirty
eight agencies that do a paying business,
and a new one springs up nearly every
week. The Police Department has made
arrangements for a squad of officers
mounted on wheels in addition to the reg
ular horse detachment, and a trial has
proved that the men so equipped can do
good service.
BILLIARDS.
Ives the Napoleon Has Arrived and Schaefer Is
Coming.
Frank 0. Ives, the "Napoleon" of bill
iards, arrived in town yesterday. He has
been giving exhibitions with Schaefer
through lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
rado, etc., to large and enthusiastic audi
ences. At Salt Lake City he was com
pelled to quit on account of ill
health, and William W. Catton of Rock
Island, 111., will take his place and fill en
gagements already made in Montana,
Washington and Oregon. In the mean
time Ives will remain quietly in San Fran
cisco and recuperate his health and by the
time Schaefer arrives, about March 18, he
will be in shape to give a good account of
himself.
Ives reports that the attendance at all
the exhibitions has been good and that
there is apparently a great revival of in
terest in billiards.
William H. Catton, who will arrive with
Schaefer, has never been on the coast.
Tliere is some talk of a match between
him and Baylor.
With Ives, Schaefer, Catton and Saylor
in San Francisco, there should be a great
revival of the "gentleman's game."
ATHLETIC.
High School Boys Who Are Training for the
Academic Field Day.
The athletes of the Lowell High School,
which was formerly known as the Boys'
High School, will meet to-day in a num
ber of athletic events at the Olympic
grounds. The winners will be selected to
represent the school in the annual acade
mic games, which will be held in the near
future.
To-morrow afternoon a 100-yard handi
cap race will be contested by members of
the Olympic Club. John Elliott, who is
the only athletic representative who is
capable of placing men on marks that in
variably result in close finishes, will do the
handicaping.
The Oakland High School boys will hold
games to-day on the other side of the water
to select a team which will represent them
in the league championships.

MADE THEIR ANNUAL DEMAND.
Messrs. Sicbe and Block Want Pay for
Extra Deputies.
Assessor Siebe and Tax Collector Block
made the annual demand on the Super
visors for funds to pay the extra deputies
yesterday. Both sent in communications
to the Finance and Judiciary committees,
stating that the appropriations made were
not sufficient to carry on their respective
offices.
Assessor Siebe asked for $5000 extra over
and above the $45,000 appropriated, stating
that for the past sixteen years the office
had been allowed $50,000 per year for the
purpose mentioned, and tnat as the busi
ness of his department was constantly in
creasing he could not possibly get along
with less.
The Tax Collector asked for $7500 addi
tional to the $32,500 allowed by the appro
priation, stating that such a sum was" ab
solutely necessary, as his funds for extra
deputies would run out with the present
month, and that unless his request was
acceded to he would not be able to finish
the work of the fiscal year ending June 30
next.
Both communications were referred to
the board as a whole.
The principal of the Potrero primary
school was present to ask that the school
house be immediately repaired, as it was
in bad condition inside and out. He rep
resented that the roof was in such poor
condition that the shingles were falling off
in spots. The committee recommended
that the house be placed in thorough repair
at an expense of from $'2500 to $3000.
A park is to be laid out around the Lin
coln homestead, in Lariie County, Ken
tucky, where Abraham Lincoln was born.
An electric railway will convey visitors to
the park from Hodgenville, two and a half
miles distant.
DUCAT IS BACK
IN HIS OLD FORM
He Downed Bellicoso Yester
day and Equaled a
Coast Record.
THE FAVORITES ALL BEATEN,
A Great Plunge Was Made on
Ferrier, but Ret
Alfonso Won.
That racing piece of machinery, Ducat,
for which Ed Corrigan paid $10,000, starred
in a six-furlong race yesterday. Ducat's
early recollections of San Francisco and its
surroundings are very unpleasant, for
when he arrived here he had to be taken to
the track in an ambulance, being decidedly
under the weather. But he is convalescent
now and ran or rather skipped six fur
longs yesterday in 1:13, equaling the coast
record. And he did it with such an air of
elegance and ease that the $10,000 aristo
crat evidently treated it as a huge joke.
Withal, he went to the post second choice,
N'aglee Burkes Bellicoso having the call
in the betting, going to the post 11 to 10,
while Ducat was at one time quoted 7 to 5.
Lucky Dog, Sue Abbott and Kitty L were
the only other starters.
Lucky Dog tried to run away with the
race, leading until well into the stretch.
Bellicoso then took command and kept his
backers in jubilant spirits by leading until
eighty yards from the wire, where Ducat
came thundering along with his gigantic
strides and passing him won by a scant
length. Lucky Dog was a fair third. Al
though defeated Bellicoso was by no means
disgraced, for considering the weights and
the caliber of his victor, he ran a highly
creditable race.
It was a most disastrous day for follow
ers of the favorites, as not a single race
saw the favorite number hoisted on the
top. This downfall began with Yreka in
the opening event, the race going to Little
Bob, a 10 to 1 shot. Rey Alfonso then
galloped off with the second race at sto 1,
followed by Mollie R heading her field
home in the third race with 19 to 1 against
her. Ducat downed Bellicoso and Captain
Coster did the trick cleverly in the last
race with 12 to 1 as his price in the ring.
A swell plunge was made on Ferrier in
the second race, but he got away poorly
and could never get to the front. The
fallen idol, Rey Alfonso, won the race,
running the six furlongs in 1:13J..£ very
handily.
Yreka went to the post a 11 to 10 favor
ite for the opening race, a six-furlong spin
for maidens, but after leading all the way
to the stretch threw it up. Mutineer and
Esperance appeared to have the race be
tween them, when Little Bob, a 10 to 1
shot, came fast on the outside ana won by
a length. Mutineer was second, a head in
front of Esperance. Lochinvar, ridden by
Hennessy, a 100 to 1 chance, ran away
twice, and the Held was dispatched with
out him.
Carrying top-weight, 117 pounds, Ferrier
was considered the proper thing for the
six-furlong handicap and was backed
down from Btos to even money. Dukt:
Stevens, opening up 15 to 1, closed with
eights against him. Rev Alfonso and the
other starters all receded a point or two
from their opening quotation.
The favorite was in a poor position when
the flag fell, Don Fulano, Rey Alfonso and
Realization showing in front. Rey Al
fonso almost immediately took the lead,
and was never headed, winning handily by
two lengths from Don Fulano. In a drive
Quirt beat the favorite Ferrier out a nose
for third place. Duke Stevens got away
from the post poorly, and was never dan
gerous.
Booze, Rear Guard and old Hy Dy ap
peared to be the best of a cheap lot that
lined up in the third race, a mile polling
affair. Hy Dy was a consistent favorite
throughout the betting, with Booze second
choice at 2J4 to 1. There was quite a heavy
play at'dji'ferent times on Catch 'Em, and
Mollie R was also backed down a point or
two, having opened at 15 to 1.
After having considerable trouble with
the field at the post, Ferguson sent them
off to a very fair start. Third at the quar
ter, Fravdey took the light-weighted
Mollie R to the front, and she led a merry
chase to the wire, winning by four lengths
from the fast coming Hy l>y, with Griffin
up. Miss Buckley was "third, two lengths
further away.
Morven, certainly foaled under an un
lucky star, was made favorite for the last
race, a five-furlong scramble, but his usual
ill fortune clung to him, for, getting away
rather poorly, he was never able to get to
the front, and finished fourth. The race
was won cleverly by Captain Coster, a VI
to 1 chance, well backed by his stable, who
left the bunch in the stretch, and won bj r
half a length from Royal Flush. Joe
Cotton finished third.

JUDGE LOW DISSATISFIED.
He Says Jiis Courtroom Is Not Habit-
able.
Police Judge Low appeared before the
Board of City Hall Commissioners yester
day and declared that unless he was given
different quarters than those his court now
occupies he intended to adjourn his court
until some provision was made for him.
He stated that the rooms in which he sits
are unfit for human habitation, being close,
dirty and infested by vermin.
The board agreed to look around and see
whether they could not find him a proper
location within the next few days.
P. Marion Weils, the sculptor who has
in charge the statue which is to surmount
the dome at the new City Hall, was pres
ent at the meeting and stated ihat on in
quiry he had found that the figure could
be cast in bronze for $12,500 instead of
514.C00, as he bad previously stated. The
board took no action in the matter.
Progress estimates aggregating $31,484
for work now being done on the hall were
finally allowed. Of this suni $27,750 goes
to contractors who are building the dome.
Architect Shea had a sample of white
metal for the inspection of the members,
but the Mayor, who presided, was not sat
isfied with one sample, and asked Mr. Shea
to bring specimens of all varieties to the
next meeting.
A METEOR SHOT BY HER.
Strange Experience of tin- Schooner
Premier at Sea.
The schooner Premier arrived from Grays
Harbor yesterday morning. Captain Hee
gaard reports a peculiar experience on the
way down. On Friday, the Ist inst., at 2
o'clock in the morning, while Mate Nelson
was on watch a big meteor shot out of the
sky and buried itself in the ocean about
1000 yards away from the vessel on the lee
side.
The Premier was in latitude 43 deg. 30
mm. north and longitude 125 deg. 40 ruin,
east. The sky, according to the ruate, was
suddenly illuminated and the big mass of
flaming metal came hissing along irom
west to east, looking like a blazing coal.
The men watched its course in mortal ter
ror until it disappeared with a loud explo
sion beneath the waves.
