SPORT
The sport of cycling is still in the
ascendency, and, as will be seen in the
Call's department of wheeling, club runs
on Sunday are becoming a very popular
fad. Oarsmen are training like beavers for
the regatta, anil the lovers of coursing are
anxiously waiting for the big meeting on
Thursday. The rifle-shooters will have
some spirited contests at the San Rafael
ranges on the 30th inst., and the winners
will go East to participate in the big shoot
ing festival. Angler*, athletes and sports
men are having considerable enjoyment in
their respective forms of sport.

The parade of wheelmen last Wednesday
night was about the largest gathering of
the kind ever brought together in this
city. As a rule cyclists arc averse to
parading, but where the cause is their own,
as in this instance, they turn out en
masse, and the effect of several hundred
■wheels in line is very pleasing. There was
pome comment because the Bay City
"Wlieeln:en did not appear in the turn-out.
This club should have been well repre
sented, whereas there were but tnree mem
bers in line. In such a movement, where
the direct benefit of themselves and all
other cyclists is concerned, it seems to me
that the oldest and one of the largest local
clubs should have made some effort for the
good of the cause, and surely it would have
been no hardship for them to have turned
out in a body and. paraded with the other
clubs for an hour or so.
There is disse ntion in the ranks of the
Imperial Cycling Club and several of the
charter members have resigned. Still the
club is strong numercialiyand the loss of a
few mt-mbers should not affect it. Cap
tain Johnson has called a run for to
morrow to Niles Canyon, leaving on the
!' a. m. broml- grange boat. A special meet
ing of the members will be held next
Tuesday evening. President Tooker has
appointed the following committees: Del
egates to tin"- Track Association — J. S.
Egan. E. C. Douglas and J. F. Burns; to
the Associated Clubs — C. H. Dannals, W.
W. Wilson and W. W. Earle. The Im
perial'; will have a I out ten men entered in
the Bay City Wheelmen's races.
The "California Cycling Club will hold
the third of a series of one-mile handicap
club races at Central Park to-morrow
morning. Two weeks from to-morrow the
winners of the three races will ride the
final, aim the victor will be rewarded with
a medal.
There will be a road race to-morrow from |
San .lose to Gilroy (thirty miles) between
teams from four prominent business
booses there. The first rider to arrive in
Gilroy scores 20 points, the second 19, and j
so on, the last rider scoring one point.
The make-up of the teams is as follows:
From T. \Y. Hobson &, Co.— H. P. Peoples,
Charles George, W. A. Rogers. Ed Willis
ton and J. W. McCauly: from the City
Store— l). O. Thornton, A. M . Turel, R. w. -
.Katy. Thomas Welch and Al <J. Col; from
A. L. Bcassj Co. — A. Brassy, It. Brassy. A.
E. Johnstone, Joseph .Jury and E. R-ey
naud: from T. W. Spring it Sons— A. Pede
munte, P. Cbararia, W. K. Jamison. E. P.
Meyer and Charles J. Sullivan. The otti
ciafs will be: Referee, J. A. Desimone;
starter, <i. A. Howes; judges— H. If. N.
Spring, E. Turd, P. E. Col and W. Hobson.
The start frill be made from the corner of
Market and r^anta Clara streets at 8:45 a. m.,
finishing at the Williams Hotel, Gilroy.
The teams are very evenly matched and a
good race should result.
Although the Royal Cycling Club was
organized out of the Crescent Road Club
the latter organ zntion has not gone out of
existence and is progressing tinelv at the
oid clubroomt-. Mil Octavia street. New
members are being admitted at every
meeting and the club is far from being de
funct. All communications for the Cres
cents should \>e addressed to L. Bearwald,
secretary, v* the ioregoing address.
Captain Quadt has called a run of the
Golden Gate Cycling Club to Crystal
Springs and return for to-morrow. The
club is interested in the present movement
ior better streets and roads and will lend
all the aid in its power.
As already published in the Call, the
Camera Club Cyclists go to Tocaloma
to-morrow on the 8 a. m. Sausalito, and the
Olympic Club "Wheelmen to San Mateo to
witness J. E. Edwards' attempt to lower
the world's rive-mile road record.
Captain L. L. Korn of the San Francisco
Road Club announces a run to-morrow to
Petaluma, taking the 8 a. m. Tiburon ferry.
Members will assemble at Seventh and
Market streets promptly at 7:30. This is a
new and active cmb, of which Ed Sands is
the president.
The Outing Road Club will attend the
Liberty Cycling Club's picnic to-morrow
at Tamalpais. All wheelmen are cordially
invited to attend this affair, which prom
ises to be a most enjoyable event. Take 9
a. M. Sausalito ferry and train to Tamal
pais. No wheels need be taken on this
trip, unless some of the cyclers wish to
ride back in the afternoon. Tne commit
tee in charge consists of Warren Irelan,
Joseph McLaughlin, A. Joost, Charles
Mayer and H. K. Morton.
The Outings made a fine appearance in
the parade last Wednesday night, turning
out a large percentage of their membsr
ebip.
Captain May r has called a century ran
of the Liberty ''lub for Sunday, June 2.
Captains ifodgfi and Kitchen of the Bay
Citys and Acnes, respectively, are arrang
ing a joint picnic run for June 2. to some
place in Mann County.
There will be an interesting road race to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock over the San
Leandro trian.de, the contestants being
employes of four downtown wholesale
houses. The teams are as follows:
Neustadter Bros.— J. H. Ballin, A.
Malioney, M. Ballin, F. Hoag and F. Web
ster.
Levi Strauss & Co.— J. P. Cunningham.
H. Fischer, J. Waterman, G. James and
A. Mains.
Dunham, Carrigan, Hayden Company—
H. F. Coffin, W. A. Landry, J. 8. Egan.W.
A. Scott and J. R. Knight.
Tillman & Bendel entered a team at first,
hut withdrew to attend the picnic of the
Retail Grocers.
Rediimton & Co.— J. Mullen, A. Goddard,
J. Van der Bos, W. Eskin and C. Weber.
The distance of the race has not yet been
fully decided upon, but it will probably be
for twenty-five miles, being three times
around the triangle. Much enthusiasm is
manifested in the event among the houses
represented, and as one recognizes in the
entries the names of several riders who are
prominent in racing circles no doubt the
affair will furnish good sport.
J. J. B. Argenti, W. R. Phillios and
Walter N. Brunt of the California Cycling
Club took a long trip last Saturday. They
loft here at 6 a. m. and rode to Mountain
View, thirty miles, without a dismount.
Then continued on to San Jose, where they
had lunch, afterward resuming their jour
ney, arriving in the evening at Gilroy, hav
ing traveled thus far eighty miles. Not
satisfied they started on the long and
tedious climb up to the Hot Springs,
fifteen miles further, which point they
reached at 7 p. m., making nearly 100 miles
in thirteen hours.
The Gem City Cyclers is the name of a
new club now being organized by the
wheelmen of Los Gatos.
J. E. Alexander of San Jose contemplates
a trip to the Yosemite Valley about June
Walter Jamison of San Jose, a Fast
Class A Bider.
1, accompanied by Mr. Winship of Stan
ford. Edwin Molirig, wife and two chil
dren, will ride their wheels from here to
Paso Robles about June 15. At the same
time W. H. Stinson and James Coffroth of
the Olympic Club and Joseph B. Carey
of San Jose will start on a trip from here
to l>os Angeles.
Horace B. Sperry was in the City last
week, but left Tuesday for Fresno. He
carries his wheel wherever he goes, and
rides all the time.
Thomas H. Doane is contemplating rac
ine once more.
The proposed race to-day over the tri
antrle, between teams from Oakland, San
Jose and San Francisco Boy's High schools,
has been indefinitely postponed. The
team from this City first withdrew, as they
could not train, having to take examina
tions for Berkeley and Stanford. And now
the San Jose team has withdrawn, as they
think the Oaklanders altogether tob
speedy for them. The Oakland team con
sisted of Messrs. Goooh, Childs, Mahoney,
Baker, Orra and Colby, all speedy young
riders.
Entries for the race meet of the San Jose
Road Club on June 1 will close to-night
with the last delivery of mail at San Jose.
A large list is expected and valuable prizes
have been offered in the various events.
Captain Delmas has called a run to Gil
roy to-morrow to witness the finish of the
business-houses' race. The run is divided
Percy Mott.
into two sections, the first of which will
ride leisurely to .destination, while the
second will be a scorch, led by two tan
dem teams in an endeavor to lower the
San Jose-Gilroy record of 1 hour 30 min
utes. Impromptu races will be held on
the Gilrov track Sunday afternoon.

the middle of November. It is to be hoped
that Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton,
Marysville, Dixon, Redding, Fresno,
Bakersheld and other live wheeling towns
in this State will apply for dates on the
National racing circuit, thus making more
of an inducement for the racers to c6me
here.
I present this week likenesses of Percy
R. Mott and Walter Jamison. Mott is a
new luminary in the cycling sky, but his
few performances have been brilliant and
his future as a racer is bright. In build,
manner and countenance he much resem
bles Julian Pye Bliss, the great Chicago
racer. He rides for the A:me Club Wheel
men of Oakland, and added to the club's
great list of victories at the Fabiola fete in
Oakland, May 11, by winning the one-mile
handicap, class A.
Walter Jamison is another new rider and
hails from San Jose. From a large field of
starters he won the mile novice at the
Garden City Cyclers' meet on April 19,
which was a good performance. He will
ride at the Bay City meet on May 30, ana
should show up well in class A handicap
events.
The Garden City Cyclers and San Jose
Road Club have both called runs to this
City on Decoration day to attendjthe Bay
City Wheelmen's races. An attempt will
be made on the world's class A competi
tion record in the mile scratch event at the
road club's meet. Tandem pacing will be
used.
The California Associated Cycling Clubs
will hold a regular meeting next Saturday
night at the rooms of the Reliance Club
Wheelmen in Oakland. All delegates are
requested to be present. There is a
"joker" in one of the amendments to the
by-laws offered at tne last meeting which
will be sprung on the unsuspecting dele
gates, I am told.
The Southern California racing circuit
has turned out a grand fizzle, owing to the
mismanagement of Charles Fuller Gates,
and the class B racers who went down from
here have returned. Walter Foster of the
Olympics, Allan Jones of the Garden Citys
and Burke and Castleman of Los Anjjeles
have entered in the Bay City Wheelmen's
races. The latter two intended to ride at
Los Angeles on May 30, but say the track
is dangerous, so they are coming here.
The Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland
will have a run to-morrow in conjunction
with the trampers' annex of the athletic
club to Lake Chabot, where a picnic lunch
will be served, and then they will have a
scorch home over the hills.
The Bay City Wheelmen's race meet at
Central Park on May 30, Decoration day,
promises to be the most successful event of
its kind ever held in tnis City. No pains
have been spared to make it so, and the
club is deserving of success. The entry
list, published elsewhere in to-day's Call,
is large and representative, containing the
names of all the prominent class A and B
riders of this part of the State. It is
questionable if the grand stand will be
large enough to accommodate all those
who wifeh reserved seats, the demand al
ready has been so large. Clabrough,
Golcher & Co.. »505 Market street, have the
reserved list. San Jose and Oakland will
be represented, and every cyclist in this
City who wants to be "in it" will be at
Central Park next Thursday.

THE ANGLER.
San Andreas Lake Will Be Opened
Next Month.
Anglers who have become tired of catch
ing the small fish of coast streams are
longing to hear from the mountains, where
grand sport should soon be realized.
The headwaters of the Sacramento River
in the vicinity of Verdi is a favorite place
of the lovers of Hy-casting, and should the
stream continue to recede happy moments
may be expected in the near future.
Commissioner Emeric cannot stand the
strain of ''wait awhile" any longer and in
the company of a friend he will give the
upper Sacramento a trial next week.
Should the enthusiastic sportsman meet
with good luck it can be taken for granted
that a rush to the homo of the whoppers
will quickly result. The Truckee is a lato
stream and will not give up any of its
beauties until July and August.
Anglers who have been whipping the
coast streams report a trreat improvement
in the growth and size of the fish. In
creeks which yielded ringerlings, a few
weeks ago, some very nice trout were taken
during the week. The favorable reports
to hand have come from the Pescader and
San (rtregorio creeks in San Mateo County,
the San Lorenzo in Santa Cruz County
and some of the tributaries of the Russian
River above Healdsbure. The reason for
the improvement in coast-stream fishing
is accounted for in the receding of the
small streams which feed large bodies of
water. The trout which v;. to very re
cently enjoyed the cool and densely cov
ered pools of the canyons dropped down
to the large creeks on finding ihe water
which had covered their backs gradually
diminishing, and they can be readily dis
tinguished from the young steelbeads that
remained in the larse streams by their
color, which is generally dark, with a pro
nounced red stripe down the side.
Some anglers who are not conversant
with the habits of the steelhead will in
variably pronounce those dark-looking fel
lows genuine specimens of the mountain
trout, when in reality they are the steel
head changed in color because of their long
stay in water that was shaded from the
sun's rays.
With the exception of some private
waters that have been stocked with East
ern trout— New Hampshires— the only fish
of the trout species that may be taken
! from coast streams and their tributaries
i are steelheads.
Probably the Fish Commissioners may
take a notion to stock some of the coats
streams with New Hampshire and Loch
Leven trout some time in the future, but
be that as it may, it is a poor consolation
for the anglers of this City to hear of the
Commissioners stocking the streams of
Northern and Southern California with
foreign trout, while the creeks near home
are almost "called in."
Local anglers will be pleased to learn
that San Andreas Lake will be thrown open
on June 15 and that the new Crystal Lake
may also be opened to anglers "this year.
Permits, however, will not be so easily pro
cured as in past years. The gentlemen of
the company who will issue permits stated
that owing to the indiscriminate manner
in which passes were disposed of lust sea
son by Tom, Dick and Harry a now rule
will be enforced this year, and only anglers
who are well recommended by stockholders
of the company will be honored with ang
ling privileges.
The trout in the lake are in excellent
condition this year, and those who will
avail themselves of the opportunity to try
a "dry" cast at the start may assuredly
look for grand sport. Henry Skinner, the
champion long-distance fly-caster of the
coast, has had a number of small Hies tied
especially for the San Andreas Lake, which
are certain to create no end of trouble
among the now happy denizens of that big
pond. Skinner, like many other expert
anglers, most emphatically objects to
losing a line trout because of" delicate and
pretty tackle. The small Enclish and
Scotch flies are very neat things to look at,
but the}' will never answer for the kind of
fish ing that is to be had in Lake* San An
dreas, and those who purchase them
will find their mistake when a tish of one
pound or more is struck.
Frank Dolliver caught a three and a
half pound trout near Point Reyes last
Sunday.
Al W"ilson is engaged in the pleasant oc
cupation of catching smali bass near the
mouth of Russian River. Wilson predicts
that this will be a great bass year.
Deputy Fish Commissioners should oc
casionally visit some of the prominent
French and Italian restaurants and ask
for quail on toast or a venison steak.
Deputy Commissioners McFarland and
Davis have had a 400-mile ride down the
Sacramento River recently in a canoe. If
any one should ask him, McFarland can
give a very interesting story of his trip
and where they stopped over for refresh
ments.
James Watt is very much perturbed
over an article which appeared in last Sat
urday's Call in reference to a catch of
small trout which he made recently in
Paper-mill Creek. Why any man of good
common-sense should feel aggrievedover a
little truthful statement in connection with
an outing on the stream in question is
somewhat of a puzzle to all followers of
the angle in view of the fact that for some
weeks past the trout taken from the Paper
mill and Lagunitas creeks were all of a
size less than six or seven inches.
Mr. Watt's catch compared favorably
with the creels of other anglers who had
whipped the stream this month, conse
quently the very popular Scottish angler
cannot have any reasonable right to ob
ject to the truth. It must be said, how
ever, of the gentleman in question that
there are few men on this coast who can
handle a rod and cast a fly with the same
skill as Mr. Watt, and it goes without say
ing that when he encounters a brother
angler on a stream or lake where large fish
dwell, the race for "high hook" is generally
won by the gentleman who had "cast" an
objection against a statement that his creel
contained a number of small fish at the
end of a recent day's outing on the well
flogged Paper-mill Creek.
" GLADYS," THE WHEEL.
Miss Frances E. Wlllard's Ex-
periences With a
Bicycle.
The New York Critic in its current issue
devotes some space to a review of a book
by Miss Frances E/Willard entitled "How
I Learned to Ride the Bicycle."
Miss Willard, in a particularly bright
and interesting manner, relates her ex
perience with the wheel and compares it
to "that greater wheel," the universe, de
ducing from its use many lessons which
are ordinarily considered to be in the
province of the preacher in his pulpit.
The following is an extract from the
Critic's article:
Her "Reflections by the Way" should be
sufficient inducement to anybody to buy and
read Miss Frances E. AVilla'rd's book. "They
give the machine a standing in literature
hardly lower than that of the horse or the ship,
and will doubtless be responsible for many a
broken nose and dislocated kneecap. Miss
Vvillard commenced to learn to ride by con
ceiving a vast respect for her wheel, which led
necessarily to her personifying it. Gladys
such is the name of her mettlesome steed
acquired a soul, a voice, and spoke to her
mind's ear, like haalam's beast, she says; or,
a* we should prefer to put it more eomprehen
sivelv, like a Dutch uncle, or like the talking
plank of the goods-hip Argo. "I did not ask you
to mount or drive," quoth Gladys on her first
attempt, "but since you have done so, you must
now learn the laws of balance and exploita
tion. • * * Strange as the paradox may
«ecm you will do this best by not trying to do
it at all. You must make up what you are
pleased to call your mind— make it up speedi
ly or you will be cast in yon mud-puddle and
no blame to me and no thanks to yourself.
* * * Do not look down like an imbecile
upon the steering-wheel in front of you.
* * * It is the curse of life that nearly every
one looks down. * * • Look up and off and
on and out: get forehead and foot into line, the
latteractingas a rhythmic spur in the flanks of
your equilibrated equine; so shall you win
and that right speedily." In addition to pay
ing strict attention to these and other
oracles. Miss Wlllard engaged the ser
vices of three stout young Englishmen to hold
her fiery enarper while she mounted, and as
many buxom English lasses to keep it from
dancing around too wildly when it was started.
But the main thing, she found, is will. It is
the wobbling will that make* the wheel to
wobble. "The bicycle," says Miss Willard, "is
like the world." when the world downs you
you get down on it ; but with patience and de
termination all comes right again. The w.ieel
is a means of pleasure, a means of health, a
means of grace. It is a temperance reformer,
a dress reformer. It images in its course the
greater whee.— the universe. For these and
other reasons, plenty as blackberries, she has
learned to ride it at the aj»e of 53, and her ad
vice to the rrftder is, "Gothou and do likewise."
And do not furcvt, we wouid add, that she is the
first to give the machine life, to make it a sym
bol, a winged word, a myth.
THE CRICKET FIELD.
The Citrus Colony Club Defeats the
Pacific Club.
. On Friday evening, May 17, an eleven of
the Pacific Cricket Club < journeyed to
Placer County to fulfill an engagement
with the Citrus Colony Club of Penryn.
The night was spent in Rocklin, and
next morning the team was driven out
to the ground of the Citrus Colony Club.
The home team went to the bat first and
made 146 runs. Against this total the visi
tors, who seemed to break down unac
countably, were able to make only 56.
Being more than 80; runs behind the Pa
cific Club men "followed on," but in the
second inning were able to make only 55
runs. The home team thus won by an
inning and 35 runs. The score was as fol
lows:

COURSING.
Entries for the Big Meeting Will
Close Tuesday.
All lovers of coursing from City and
State will be at Casserly's Ocean View
park, on Thursday next, to witness the
much-talked of interstate meeting be
tween the fastest and best-bred dogs in
America.
Coursing is one of the most interesting
outdoor sports when properly conducted.
ai >fi it goes without saying that the races
which have been held" in Casserly's pane
since the change of management took
place have been of the most satisfactory
The event cf the season will occur
on Thursday though, and on that day
every man who has a love for coursing a"t
heart will be in the grand stand, an in
terested spectator of what promises to be
the grandest inclosed coursing meeting
that has ever been held under the colors
of the red, white and blue. From Sacra
mento, Stockton, Merced, San Jose and
even as far away as Los Angeles, intelli
gence has been received that dogs are being
conditioned for this particular meeting,
and that numbers of sportsmen from the
interior, who are passionately fond of the
game, will be at Ocean View to see the
flyers fleecing fur and to hear the old Irish
and Scottish bagpipes piping favorite
lullabies.
The interstate coursing meeting will be
a "rattler," without doubt, and, according
to the large numbers of dogs that are being
trained for the event, it is but reasonable
to suppose that the running off of the tirst
round will occupy the entire day. Sports
men must not forget that the entries for
this meeting will positively close on Tues
day evening, the 28th instl. at 909 Market
street, and that no entry will be received
on the following day.
The entrance fee has been placed at $5
because of the number of excellent prizes
that are offered, namely: $250, $125, $50
and three $15. There will be a consolida
tion stake for aIJ dogs that fail to capture a
prize, and the club will add a very suitable
purse to be run for.
The meeting will be under the manage
ment of I). Shannon, president; J. Perigo,
vice-president; J. J. Eamonds, treasurer.
Field stewards — P. Curtis of Santa Clara,
W. C. Peyton of Santa Cruz, W. de B.
Lopez of Pleasanton, H. Hull and G. H.
Layng of San Francisco. The secretary ia
J. R. Dickson of the California Turf, and
the judge and slipper will be respectively
John Grace and James Wren. The two
latter gentlemen are too well known to the
patrons of the leash to need comment here.
Their names are enough to insure a fair
field and no favor, and that is all that
coursing men require when out for sport.
Mr. Casserly received yesterday 250
strong hares from Merced, which when
liberated in the park made themselves at
bonie with the old residents that are now
waitine in the breeding paddock for an op
portunity to show their heels to the fastest
running dog.
The following dogs will race to-morrow
in Kerrigan's Coursing Park:

THE FAITHFUL DOG.
Pacific Kennel Club's Election of
Officers.
The outlook for a "warm-belt" discus
sion between the members of the Pacific
Kennel Club at their next meeting is
promising. The general opinion of dog
fanciers is that talk will be discovered a
very cheap commodity when dog topics
will be argued amontr those of the mem
bers who retired minus blue ribbons at the
late bench show.
It is an unquestionable fact that a judge
of a bench show cannot please all exhibit
ors, but. then, there is such a thing as
favoritism, too. which judges have been
accused of, and it is said that "Honest"
John Davidson did not look through hig
glasses at every dog that came before him
for judgment.
Some people will be surprised if strict
harmony will prevail at the next meeting
of the club.
The following matter of interest to the
dos-fanciers of this coast appeared in the
American Field of the 18th inst. :
The report of the A. K. C. quarterly meeting
shows thai several matters of more than ordi
nary Interest were attended to, and the amend
ments recommended by tne committee on
rules cannot but attract notice; however, it
appears that the only one as yet adopted was
that in regard to kennel clubs on the Pacific
Coast organizing a committee or board to in
vestigate charges and attend to objections
raised out there. The plan is almost exactly
similar to the one we suggested, in re
gard to coursing matters, in the Ameri
can Field of April 14, 1894, and it is
probable that the A. K. C. will not find the
Pacific Coast fanciers as backward in respond
ing to its suggestion as the coursing men of
that section have been in accepting ours, for
it Is an open secret that the California kennel
clubs have "got it in for" the A. K. C. in a mild
way. The latter in acceding to the request,
which almost amounted to a demand, that the
stipulation for 500 entries should be waived,
as far as Pacific Coast shows are concerned,
might as well have been generous and ex
tended the grant to shows held west of 100
deg. west longitude, thereby including the
Colorado fanciers, who really are more isolated
than the members of the California kennel
clubs; their only show (Denver) never has ap
proacned the 500 mark, and the nearest show
to them is at Omaha, some 600 miles away.
THE OARSMEN.
Crews That Are Training Hard for
the Regatta.
Next Thursday the greatest regatta ever
held in the West will be rowed at El Campo
and the senior and junior four-oared barge
championship of the Pacific Coast will be
decided.
The Stockton crew hap engaged quarters
at Tiburon and will put on their finishing
touches there. They intend to walk over
the Marin County hills between Tiburon
and El Campo and then on reaching the
latter place take a spin over the course
which has been selected for the race. This
method of training will be pursued every
day, beginning with next Monday morn
ing. Manager Manchester reports that
his crew is in first-class trim, and when
questioned as to its chances for victory in
the senior race smiles and his face assumes
a knowing look, as if to say — just wait and
see. This crew is regarded as the dark
horse.
The South End senior crew, champions
for many years past, for some unaccounta
ble reason in not regarded very favorably
by the sporting fraternity. Tney have a
good team, with Frank Duplissea as stroke
and Bode in the bow and Carson and
Horstmeyer in the waist.
The senior race, as judged by the sport
ing element, rests between the Pioneers
and Dolphins, with the Stocktons as the
dark horse. The Pioneers and Dolphins
doubtless have good crews, so have the
Ariels, Stocktons and South Ends, and it
seems to be any one's race.
In the junior race, owing to the number
of entries, it seems to be even harder to
pick the winner than in the senior. Atone
time it was thought the race would be be
tween the Olvmnics and South Ends, but
the South Ends' stock has greatly de
preciated during the past week, and with
its decline the St. Mary's, Acmes and
Ariels have risen and even gone above that
of the Olympics, and now the general
opinion seems to be that the first place is
between the St. Mary's and Acmes, with
the Olympics and Arie'ls battling hard for
third place. A week ago the ~Bt. Mary's
were not considered as being very promi
nent factors in the race, but during the past
week their improvement has Deen so
marked that it is pretty safe to say, if they
continue to improve proportionately during
the coming week, that Mr. Jauriet, their
general manager, will have the pleasure of
conveying the beautiful silver trophy and
the junior championship to St. Mary's
classic shades.
The South Ends are, from a knowing
one s idea, too light to put much force in
their stroke, and if they seek better than
last place it would seem proper for them to
select a heavier crew.
The honor of the boom in rowing circles
properly belongs to the energetic mem
bers of the South Ends, and more par
ticularly Messrs. Fritz and Herget and the
other members of the regatta committee.
Had it not been for these members row
ing would have remained a back number
in sporting circles.
Patrol-boats have been secured by the
South End Rowing Club to guard the
course of the races. No boats of any de
scription will be allowed to approach
nearer to the course than a quarter of a
mile or be permitted to land on the
grounds at El Campo either before or after
the races.

LADY CYCLISTS.
A Clique In the San Jose Ladles'
Cycling Club.
War! I knew it. My woman's intuition
told me so. Denials thick and fast are
heaped upon the assertion that there is a
lack of interest in the Ladies' Cycling
Club.
The club, I am informed, is in a moat
prosperous condition except for the exist
ence within its sacred confines of a
"clique." This is the "rift within the
lute." That all men are created equal is a
historical fact, but you see they did not
mention women, and until the precious
creatures are included in this statement
they will be club members in name only.
Dainty shoulders will be shrugged and
penciled eyebrows uplifted in the same
feminine manner whenever one outside of
the "clique exclusive" puts in an appear
ance.
Truly these cliques are abominable
things and do much toward ruining a
club. It is surely unpardonable for any
member or members to wilfully disregard
A Prominent Lady Cycler of San Jose.
the captain's orders when on a run, and
this i« not an unfrequent occurrence in
the club mentioned.
Girls, join hands and work together for
awhile. Throw yourselves out of the argu
ment and work for the club, then if it is
not a success rather than have a club in
discord begin all over again — form two
clubs and let the clique rule its own little
kingdom. Don't descend to petty quarrel
ing. Don't listen to the trivial gossip,
which amounts to so little after all. Prove
to those critical creatures who sit back
and laugh in their sleeves while you strug
gle that you are equal to the emergency
and can turn from the beaten path without
falling in the gutter.
Last week Mrs. Kate Wilcox, Mrs. E. E.
Gummer and Miss Emma Rheel rode to
Gilroy, a distance of miles, in two
hours and twenty-five minutes, and after
arriving there were royally entertained by
friends, who took them for an additional
spin of fifteen miles. This was a highly
creditable performance, as the ladies rode
against a strong wind the greater portion
of the way. Miss Edwards and Miss Gray
of the L. C. C. at the same time rode ten
miles in thirty minutes — relay time. Who
knows but that in another year we shall
imitate our charming Parisian sisters And
hold a "meet" of our cwn.
What a beauty the new diamond-frame
ladies' wheel i?. Do you know, in another
year methinks we shall see but few "drop"
frames upon our streets? The diamond
frame is so much stronger, safer and
lighter that it surely has a great deal to
recommend it to the true lovers of sport.
How ridiculous when you stop to con
sider — seeing a modern Sandow spinning
by on a 17-pouna machine, while by his
side, on a 25 or 30-pound "ice-wagon, is a
bit of femininity who imagines she is having
a good time until in some happy moment
she mounts a diamond frame and realizes
what she has missed. We are going to wear
bloomers — of course we are — so why not
ride a diamond-frame wheel? We, with
our Californian independence, are not go
ing to adopt skirts because in New York
and Kansas they are going to fine the dam
sels fair who appear upon the streets in
bloomers or knickerbockers. Oh, no! We
are going to tilt our pretty noses, stamp our
"Tnlby" feet, and defy the antiquated fos
sils who would deprive us of our comfort.
80 many women make a mistake in
wearing a corset while riding, no matter
how loosely it may be adjusted. In riding
as in walking the clothing should be sus
pended from the shoulders, while the
waist should be free from all restriction.
"But," I hear the tearful maiden with
French fashion-plate form say, "how can I
go without a corset? Why, I look like a
mealsack tied in the middle without it."
Little girl, buy a pair of Indian clubs — not
too heavy; arise each morning from your
downy couch, and after a cold or tepid
bath, accord ing to your nervous system,
take lifteen minutes for massage and club
swinging.
Don't ne afraid of cold water. The shock
is a little unpleasant at times, but the
afterglow is worth the plunge.
Follow this system faithfully for a
month, in the meantime letting the corset
stay where it belongs— in the closet— and
tell me whether or no you see a difference
in the state of your muscles. It is a crying
shame to distort our bodies with these in
struments of torture when we were in
tended to be living, breathing images of
health and purity.
Imagine Psyche in a corset, high collar
and balloon sleeves, or Diana in a godet
skirt.
We cry out against the Chinese com
pressing the feet of their babes, and yet we
had better crush the life out of our toes
than our lungs. I don't advocate the
dress-reform female who walks our streets
in negligee robes intended for the privacy
of one's apartment; but I do say let us
breathe the God-given air and get the sun
shine and warmth into our bones ami
blood as was intended. Away with the
"ivy-leiif" girl. To-day she must be an
oak. Not many moons ago I heard a pop
ular club man remark that the ladies
ought to bring their club affairs under the
management of the men's club to assure
success; and immediately the thought
struck me that the result would be apt to
be the same as it waa a few years ago when
fourteen of us. chaperoned by a charming
woman from the City of Oaks, made a tour
of the lakes. Upon our return there were
forty-nine engagements announced.
Query: If the L. C. C. becomes asso
ciated with the G. C. C, how many club
men will think themselves engaged?
This week I send you a picture of one of
our girls who is enthusiastic upon the wheel
question. Again am 1 requested to with
hold the name, so you must guess who it
is, for you shall not find out from
"The Girl."
SAN JOSE SPORTS.
All About Shooting:, Fishing, Cyclings
and Trotting.
SAN JOSE, Cal., May 24.— Now that the
series of matches between the Cyclers' Gun
Club and the Gilroy Sportsmen's Protective
Association have been decided, it is hoped
O. C. Feppin, Captain San Jose Road
Club.
that those interested in shooting will take
the necessary steps to hold a State shooting
meet here during the summer. A good
range could be secured near the city for
both rifle and gun shooting, and the offer
ing of suitable prizes would attract a large
number of first-class shots from all over
the State. Not only would the city and
county be benefited by stich a tournament,
but it would awaken an interest in le
gitimate sports that would tend to secure
better legislation for fish and game. Let
the Cyclers' Gun Club or the Gilroy Sports
men's Protective Association take* hold of
the matter, and the interest awakened
through the State will be such as to make
it a success.
The Union Rifle Club will shoot a prize
match with the Verein Schuetzen Club in
the near future.
The weather of the past two or three
weeks has made trout-fishing good, and
there has been a rush of fishjermen during
the week to the various streams of the
county. From the Llagas and Ysabel
come reports of big catches, while those
returning from the Calaveras and other
streams are equally as loud in praise of the
fine baskets taken. The Los Qatos Creek,
being easily reached from this city, has
been visited by large numbers of sports
men, and while no large catches have been
made, good-sized messes were the rule.
Charles P. Owen, Rick Prister, Chris
Ducker and Curtis Barker have just re
turned from a fishing trip to Milt Creek
and Pescadero River. They report the
sport good in that vicinity and a catch of
840 in two days.
B. M. Gregory of Los Gatos took eighty-
C. A. Belloli of the San Jose Road Club
seven large-sized trout from Los Gatos
Creek above Wrights, in a couple of hours
last \\ ednesday.
Game Warden Mackenzie has been busy
during the past few weeks supervising the
erection of fish ladders in the streams and
notifying those using water for irrigation
purposes from the streams to place screens
at the mount of the ditches to keep the
young trout from running into them. If
the same precautions had been taken
years ago the streams would now be
abundantly supplied with fish.
Syd Vincent, a Bay City Wheelman, and
Armstrong, a novice of Alameda, have
entered for the Road Club races.
