1 T. H. Arnold of the Western Golfer, pub
lished at Chicago, has recently been vis
iting the links of Southern California. He
pronounced the new grounds of the Los
Angeles Country Club as equal to any In
the Western States. They are pretty and
of natural rolling land, admirably adapted
to the game, the excellent management
of the greens forcing members to play
genuine golf. The earth-bunkers are pre
ferred to the barbed-wire fences common
on Easteyn links. The putting-grounds of
sand instead of green turf are disappoint
ing at first, but once players get accus
tomed to them, they find them attractive.
The sand putting-ground requires steady
nerve and excellent judgment, on account
of the roll of the ball, and so demands
. expert^ pJay^^Mr.^ Arnold_thlnk» tijat.
THE SA!N FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. 1899.
trtere is a lack of the genuine St. An
drew's golfing spirit here: the people play
good American golf, hut they have for
the most pur; been their own teachers,
and their play lacks the beauty and thor
oughness of the simon-pure St. Andrew's
golf.
TO PROTECT THE
TRUCKEE TROUT
Nevada Officials Will Co-operate
With the . Calif orn a Fish
Commission.
The officials of Nevada have at last
awakened to the importance of seconding
the efforts of the California State Fish
Commission in preserving, the trout in
1 Truckee River. This trout stream, pro
nounced the finest on the coast, is chiefly
in Nevada. In the past the tish have not
; been protected in that State and the ef
forts of the California officials on their
I side of the line have been nullified. Fish
and Game Commissioner Vogelsang made
' a special trip there a few days since and
! held several conferences with the Nevada
officials.
As a result they adopted resolutions i
reciting the necessity of protecting fish
in the close season, the building and main- •
: tenance of fish ladders and the prevention :
■of rnillmen dumping sawdust Into the
river. The resolution directs the District
Attorney, Sheriff and Constables to exert
every effort to protect the fish.
A "new fishladder has been erected re
i cently near Reno and three more a.re to
be added. One is in course of construction
near Verdi. The Fish Commissioners hope
1 to take spawn on the Truckee next spring
and will then stock it to its fullest ca
pacity.
The next meeting of the San Francisco
Fly Casting Club will be held at Jules on
Tuesday evening. Archie J. Treat will en
tertain the members with an illustrated
, lecture on the mountain lakes most fre
■ quented by the anglers. The musical por
tion of the programme is being prepared
by Charles F. Stone. President Walter
D. Mansfield leaves for Verdi, on the |
i Truckee River, to-day, and will endeavor ;
: to return with sufficient trout for the
dinner.
F. G. Sanborn and Frank McLennan
have returned from Pelican Bay, where
I they spent two weeks shooting and fish
| ing. They fished both the Williamson
and the Sprague rivers, as well as Pelican
Bay. The latter Is providing the best
i sport of the season, but not so sensational
!as last year. The snipe and duck shoot
i ing is remarkably good. On Monday they
i killed thirty-seven snipe on the marsh in
i front of the lodge. They, also secured
I good bags of canvasbacks and mallard.
: The season opened on the Ist inst.
I They spent one day in quest of deer, but
saw no signs of them.
The enthusiasts who went across the
bay or. Sunday to fish the estuary for
striped bass returned practically empty
! handed. Among the well-known rod
wielders were: Turner, Brotherton. "Doc"
"Watt Christlanson, Wilson and Babcock.
The net result for the day was three or
four small fish.
F. H. Reed fished the Truckee River
i near Boca last Saturday and Sunday and
had good sport.
John Butler, John Salmi and John Lem
-1 mer leave on -Monday for their annual
pilgrimage to Eel River for the steelhead
: fishing. They are the advance guard of a
I large number of fishermen who will go
, north for the splendid sport offered there.
1 John Gallagher went up some days since
and his first essay on the river netted him
two large steelheads and seventeen small
i ones. The fishing is pronounced remark
able for so early in the season.
Colonel Kelihor and C. G. Young are i
still at Boca, where they have been for !
three weeks.
• J. "W. Orear of Oakland goes to "Webber
Lake and Meadow Lake to-day for the
fishing and grouse-shooting.
A party of 100 fishermen went to the
Farallones on the steamer Point Arena j
last Saturday. W. R. Borlinl caught the
prize fish, a thirty-two-pound cod. Dr.
ieberst and S. V. Costello were also sue-'
I cessful, if what they say is true.

STRIVING FOR BLUE RIBBONS.
The Becond annual horse show of the
Burllngame Country <'lul> was opened <>n
the club grounds yesterday. It will be
concluded to-day, when a large attendance
iis expected, the entire affair being thrown
open to the public. An immense amphi
theater has been prepared Immediately in
I front of the clubhouse, from which the
competition is watched by the members
| and their guests.
SCULLERS MEET
IN CONVENTION
Will Discuss the Government of
Boat Racing on This Coast.
Around the Clubs.
A notice has bi-en sent by the secretary
of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic
Union to the representatives of the vart
j ous clubs included In the association, in
forming them that the annual convention
of the association will be held on Monday
evening, the 18th inst., in the parlors of
the Olympic Club. Delegates are request
ed to bring with them proper credentials
certifying to their appointment as repre
sentatives. The following amendment to
the constitution, which was approved by
the board of managers on April 14, will
be presented for final adoption or rejec
tion:
The association shall have Jurisdiction
over the following athletic sports: Basket
ball, billiards, boxing, baseball Undoor and
outdoor), gymnastics. handball, hunlle
racing, jumping, lacrosse, footliall, pole
vaulting, wrestling, running, swimming,
rowing, tugs-of-war, walking, putting the
shot, throwing the discus, hammer and
Wrights.
The important point in the proposed
amendment is the inclusion of rowing in
the list of sports to be controlled by the
Pacific Association, though the Amateur
Athletic Union, of which the association
is a member, exercises no jurisdiction over
oarsmen, leaving their affairs to the Na
tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen.
There Is, however, little doubt that the
amendment will pass, the matter having
been thoroughly thrashed out some
months ago.
Last Sunday there was a large attend
ance of members at the South End boat
house, and several went out in skiffs or
barges. For the present the recently com
pleted handball court is attracting much
attention. The "Irish" barge crew is ex
pected to return from Manila by the next
transport. The Acme Club has promised
to pay $10 per month to the South Ends
as compensation for the loss of the barge
Qarfleld, which was burned In 1895 while
in the keeping of the Acme Club. A new
junior barge crew has been formed. It is
mado up of two skiffmen, a handball
player and an oarsman — J. Foley and Dr.
C. C. Dennis, Al Hampton and Emii
Blumlein. They are all hard workers,
however, and will give the junior crews
of thp other dubs a hard rub. -- •.„
Leashmen to Course for $3000
Thirty- Foot Yachts to Compete
Swift Carrier Pigeons to Race
The Mameda Boat Club intends within
the oominfc three weeks to give a regatta
on the estuary. There will be a barge
relay race in which a packet will he car
ried, a pie-eating contest in yawls, ana
short dashes of an eighth, a quarter and a
half mile in outrigged skiffs.
QUAIL ARE SAID
TO BE PLENTIFUL
Promise Good Sport for the Gun-
men in the Field When
the Season Opens.
With Ihp waning of the deer and the
dove season the sportsmen are preparing
against the rapidly approaching- day when
they will divide their attention between
Hiiail and ducks on marsh and upland.
In Elumboldt County mountain quail are
in abundance, while no valley quail are in
sij. r ht. The opposite is the case down
Salinas way, where valley quail are nu
merous. The sason will be hue in
Fresno County as no shooting is allowed
until November 1. The sport will be ai
its best throughout tho State at that date,
as a month earlipr there is a lingering
touch of summer in the atmosphere that
is :it;aii!St a man exerting himself in the
field.
The Empire Gun Club will promote one
of the most ambitious shoots at blue
rocks to-day and to-morrow ever held on
this coast. The meeting will be held on
the club grounds, Alameda Point, and
will be made a festive occasion. There
will be a merchandise shoot each day,
the gunmen being divided into twelve
classes, according to their merit. It must
be an inexperienced man who cannot win
something out of the hundreds of prizes
offf red.
The "varmint" hunt of the Olympic Gun
Club has been definitely fixed for the 17th
inst. The members will go to the grounds
the day before. On Wednesday evening a
club dinner will be held at which the
medals won during the year will be pre
sented.
J. Homer Frltch. H. F. Rose and others
of the club will spend the Admission day

CRUISE TO NAPA
Many of the San Francisco Club
men to Spend the Holi
days en the River.
Commodore A. M. Clay cruised to Marin
Islands last Sajturday, returning on Sun
day to Oakland Creek J. Carrier last
week put his new yacht Jessie E on the
beach in the creek and thoroughly cleaned
and painted her for to-day's regatta. As
she is the smallest boat in the :!G-foot
class she will receive a considerable time
allowance from all her competitors, and
should Rive them a good race.
Commodore T. 1,. Hill made an early
start from Bausalito last Sunday morning
with a large party on board the flagship
Cygnus and dropped anchor in Paradise
Cove, l.ater he was joined by the sloops
Juanlta, Thetis and Catherine. The Cyg
nus and Thetis raced home to Sausalito.
t lie former having a considerable start,
but towing three boats, while the latter
towed a skift and carried a canoe on
board. The Thetis passed the Cygnus.
but the moorings of both boats were
picked up almost simultaneously.
l^ast night Commodore Hill, followed by
three or four of the San Francisco fleet,
which has no entries in to-day's regatta,
started for Vallejo, where he anchored
for the night. To-day the yachts will sail
up N'apa Creek to Napa City, and will
anchor close to the bridge. To-night the
Native Sons of Napa will give a reception
to the yachtsmen, and to-morrow the fleet
will start for Sausalito.
Last Sunday the burgee of the South
Bay Yacht Club was se.en at the main
truck of a boat anchored off the San
Francisco clubhouse at Sausalito. The
boat was the sloop Feu Follett, formerly
owned by H. J. Gorter of the Corinthians.
Auzerais and Smith, owners of the sloop
Papoose, were desirous to get a race
toward the close of last season, but the
boat arrived too late to start In the re
gatta of September ft, and no race could
be arranged for her afterward. This year
she is not entered in the Admission day
regatta, nor Is any other yacht of the
South Bay fleet.
PENNANTS AND CUPS

spoi^ys
rp HE third renewal of the California
Produce stake will be run at Union
Produce stake will be run at Union
I Coursing Park to-day and to-morrow.
■*■ This is on*, of the richest stakes of
the year, the iotal prize money being
11350. A commbtep made up of men rep
resented in the stake decided to withhold
$450 of this amount for a consolation
stake to be run one week from to-mor
row.
The value of the prizes at Union Park
has spurred the Ingleside management on
to great efforts with the result that $1005
Is offered at that park to-day, making a
total of $3105 for which the dogs will run.
The most attractive feature of the
card is the Champion stake. In this are
such popular flyers as Connemara, Luxor,
Cavalier. Soubrette, Thornhill. Wild
Tralee, Kid McCoy, Jessamy, lwin City
Girl, Flyaway and Lawrence. In addi
tion to the big stake there is one for
non-winners, dogs that have not finished
better than third at either park during
the past six months. '
In addition to the Produce stake at
Union Park there will be an open stake,
for which $750 is offered in prizes. This
of itself would prove a good card under
ordinary conditions. When taken in con
junction with the big stake it makes a
marvelous programme. The dogs were
placed well in the draw, thus insuring
good sport throughout the various rounds
of the stake. Both stakes have a partic
ularly open look, it being a brave man
who "would attempt to pick the ultimate
winner. The Produce stake will attract
the attention of breeders the world over,
curiosity being excited as to what blood
lines will produce the greatest grey
hounds.
"Tom" Fitz of Merced will be a factor
in the local coursing from this time forth.
He has Thomas Mclnerney's great dogs
Johnny R. Rosie R, Norah, Regina and
Tommy Rex in his string. Some of these
have many stakes to their credit.
Three of D. J. Healey's dogs became
engaged in a fight while being exercised
recently. As a result Day Spring was
killed and Grenada sustained a broken
leg. The other nine dogs of the string
dragged their trainer along in an effort
to get into the tight.
Miller's Robbie has whelped seven pup
pies to For Freedom. The For Freedom-
Sly Girl youngsters are doing well. One
ot these will be the first of the great
English dogs progeny to run. It will be
run as a sapling, the others being saved
until they have attained their full growth
as they are too valuable to risk injury
to them. J
The annual plains meeting of the Inter
state Coursing Club will b< held at Mer
ced early in November.
