wheelmen will have a large number of
road races to-day. Cycling is growing
ni'^re popular daily. Lovers of coursing
can now look pleasantly forward to a great
open-stake meeting which will be held at
Ocean View in September. Below will be
found the latest news of interest in all lines
of sporting.

There will be a big road race over the
ten-mile course from Fruitvale to Hay
wards to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock
between the members of tha Acme Club
Wheelmen. This club is noted for its fast
road-riders, and to-morrow's event will be
exciting and closely contested, as the men
are all well trained and will ride their best.
The following are the entries and handi
caps: W. A. Burke, C. M. Castleman and
G. A. Nissen, scratch; 0. L. Pickard, J. H.
Otey. H. Hutchinson, 2% mm.; H. W.

mm.; T. C. McKinstry, M. E. Laubratich,
6 mm.
With twenty-three such good men in a
road race it should be well worth witness
ing. Burke is said not to be very well and
Kay not show up as well as his record
warrants. The others are all right and the
pace will be hot from start to finish.
The Crescent Athletic Club Wheelmen
of Berkeley will hold a one mile track race
for club members at the Oakland Trotting
Park on Sunday, August 4. The club
should be warned not to give any prizes
for this event, as it would be a violation of
a rule which the League of American
Wheelmen is strict in enforcing and would
result in all the riders being suspended for
thirty or sixty days. To-morrow the club
will have a fun to Haywards to see the
Acme road race.
Next in importance to the Acme race
comes the big joint club run of the Bay
City Wheelmen and Imperial Cycling Club
to-morrow to Petalunia under Captains
Dodge and Johnson. The men will take
the 8 o'clock Tiburon ferry and train to
Fan Rafael, riding from there to their des
tination, some twenty-two miles away,
over a roliing country and good roads.
The Bay Citys will turn out fifty men
easily and the Imperials as many more.
What the effect will be on quiet Petaluma
when these hundred noisy cyclists reach
there is not hard to imagine. Some of the
men will ride home after lunch and others
will take the train.
R. If. Welch of the Racing Board Mill
undoubtedly suspend F. C. Heineman and
E. C. Barley from the L. A. W. for one
year for racing against each other last Sun
day when he had expressly advised them
not to do so. Several of the paper? have
taken this up as though it was a matter of
j/reat concern. Had -the riders in question
been crackerjacks it might have been a
loss to the sport ; but they are only ordi
nary class A handicap riders at best, with
minor reputations for speed. It is well
that the racing board can use them as
"terrible examples'' to the racer who dares
disobey its mandates. Chairman Welch
has proved himself by long odds the most
efficient representative of the Racing Board
we have ever had out here, and his de
cisions are much admired for their impar
tiality and fairness.
The Crescent Road Club will hold a run
to Camp Taylor to-morrow. The start
will be made from the ciubrooms. 811 Oc
tavia street, at 7 :30 a. m., taking the 8
o'clock Sausalito boat and train to San
Anselmo. This is one of the prettiest
trips near San Francisco, and the ride is
very easy.
Under" the guidance of Captain F. W.
Paulson the Pacific Cycling 1 Club will ride
to Laundry Farm to-morrow, starting on
the 9 o'clock broad-gauge boat.
Merton Dux bury will start on his long
return trip acrossthe continent to-morrow
morning, leaving from Seventh and Mar
ket streets at 9a. m. A large number of
wheelmen will be there to see him off, and
lie will be escorted a short distance by the
Olympic Club Wheelmen. There is no
truth in the rumor that Duxbury is to re
turn here next spring to ride in the
Olympic's relay team. Duxbury will take
the 9:.'JO boat to-morrow morning, and
wheel via Livermore to Stockton, where he
is to meet T. R. Lillie, the holder of the
present transcontinental record, which
Duxbury is going to try to break. Then
he will rifle to Sacramento, and from there
follow the Central Pacific Railroad tracks
to Ogden. From this point his route is not
positively mapped out. The record he will
try to beat is fifty-nine days from San
Francisco to New York, and Duxbury
thinks he can bring it down to iifty-four
days.
There will be an important meeting of
the Olympic Club Wheelmen Tuesday
July 30. The question of holding
a road race over the San Carlos course
Sunday, August IS, will be discussed.
The "Camera Club Cyclists will have a
nice ride to-morrow. " Captain Argenti
will lead them to Centerville, noted for its
kindness and hospitality to wheelmen.
There will be a number of ladies ou the
trip. Members will take the 8:45 narrow
gauge boat and Alameda train.
The Racing Board has issued its bul
letin No. 16, dated July 25, 1895, as follows:
Sanction issued— July 29, Santa Barbara
Wheelmen. Santa Barbara.
The Racine: Board is not permitted to sanc
tion racing on Sundays. A club may contest
on"c or more races open only to members of the
club, and if no prize is offered in any event
aud no admission charged the public the
board will not take cognizance of
the affair. Of late these events have been
arranged with more formality tlian was ever
contemplated. Public attention has been
attracted by announcements through the
newspapers of the entries and their handicap
allowances and by publication of the results.
All this is misleading to the board. To avoid
misunderstanding and suspension of contest
ant.--clubs will lie required in future to give
notice to the board In advance of all such
events. Class A men are warned that to com
pete with class B men in such races is the equiva
lent of the competition in public which forfeits
their class A status. R. M. Welch,
Representative National Racing Board.
Blind runs are quite the proper thing

with cycling clubs now. The idea is that
the captain alone knows what the destina
tion will be, and as he leads the men to it
by the most circuitous route possible you
can imagine the uncertainty of the riders
as to where they are going. About noon
the end is reached, wherever it may be, and
the fun is all the more enhanced by an ap
petizing luncheon ordered beforehand,
to which the riders always do full justice.
The Golden Gate Cycling Club will have
one of these runs to-morrow, and Captain
Maass promises a jolly time to all who at
tend. The San Francisco Road Club will
also go off on the same kind of a jaunt,
under Captain Korn, leaving the club
rooms, 726' Golden Gate avenue, at 9 A. m.
The California Cycling Club will hold
one of its never-to-be-forgotten smokers to
night at the ciubrooms, Twenty-second and
Folsom streets, for members only. Captain
Burke of the Californias is a wise man, and
he knew better than to call a club run after
a smoker, so the members — that is, those
who feel like riding — will probably go to
the park. Next Sunday. August 4, the
club will go to Napa, where they will be
the guest 9of two of its members now resi
dent there.
The Oakland Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club
will have several pleasant runs by twilight
during August, all on Friday nights. Last
night the club went to Piedmont, return
ing via Lake Merritt. August 2 will be a
moonlight run to Berkeley via Telegraph
avenue — ladies are invited on this run;
August 9, to Diamond Canyon and home
by Hays Canyon and New Broadway;
August 16, to Alameda and home by High
street and East Oakland — ladies again in
vited ; August 2.i, to Laundry Farm and
return.
Alameda is an ideal town for lovers of j
the wheeJ, and has now three large clubs, ■
the Alameda, Diana and Diamond Cyclers, I
all of which had well-attended runs last i
Sunday. The Alameda Club went to Alva
rado, while the other two clubs stopped at
Haywards. The glories of the oid Ala
meda Club promise to be revived in its
young namesake, which has secured hand
somely furnished clubrooms on Park ave
nue. Jesse Ives, whom many an old-timer
will remember, but who had given up rid
ing for some time past, has caught the
fever again and cast his lot with the Ala
medas.
At a meeting of the San Francisco Y. M.
C. A. Cycling Club, held last Tuesday even
ing, the following officers were elected :
Joseph Sims, president; Robert S. Boyns,
vice-president; W. B. Hughson. recording
secretary; James Keller, financial secre
tary; J. Sims, captain; Percy Burr, first
lieutenant; Bert Waterman, second lieu
tenant.
The Outing Road Club held a most en- j
joyable smoker at its clubrooms, 1539 Eddy
street, last evening. The members invited
their friends a jolly time was had.
Refreshments were served and a varied lot
of amateur talent served to keep things
lively until early hours. President Stamper
of the Outing Club has just returned from
a trip through Lake County. He says the
roads are beginning to get dusty, but he j
had a most delightful trip. To-morrow
the club will have a run to the park.
Last Monday night the Liberty Cycling
Club held a theater party at the Tivoli.
Nearly all the members attended and
greatly enjoyed the evening. Thursday
evening the club held a dance at Mission
Turn-Verein Hall, which was well attend- j
ed and very enjoyable. Norval A. Robin- j
son acted as floor manager, and dancing |
was indulged in until midnight. The club
members rightly believe in enjoying social '

as well as cycling pleasures during the
week, and will have these hops regularly
hereafter. To-morrow a run will be held
to the Oakland foothills, leaving on the 9
a. m. creek-route boat. On August 4 the
members will ride to Bolinas. The ladies'
annex to the club is growing rapidly, and
under the guidance of Mrs. Robinson
promises to become quite a factor before
long.
The Royal Cycling Club is now comfort
ably located in the new quarters at 1017
Golden Gate avenue. To-morrow the club
will have a run around the city. The club
proposes holding a series of monthly live
mile road races snortly for a valuable
trophy, which must be won three times to
become individual property, similar to the
idea now being carried out by the San Jose
Road Club. Secretary Lichtenstein of the
Royals has just returned from a trip to
Lake County. He was accompanied from
Santa Rosa by C. E. Brooks and C. Tem
ple. The trip was very pleasant.
The members of the Golden City Wheel
men had a delightful trip last Sunday. They
rode to Palo Alto and were entertained
by Mr. and Mrs. Howse. They spent the
day there and did not start on the return
trip until 7 p. m. Therefore most of the
journey was made in the dark, and coming
around" the bay road it was very thrilling
to say the least. All arrived home safely
about 10 o'clock.
E. L. Douglas, J. G. North and H. E.
McCrea, the Los Angeles crackerjack, have
joined the Bay City Wheelmen.
After August 1 it will be necessary to
carry lighted lanterns while riding in the
park between sunset and sunrise. The
rule will be rigidly enforced, and there
has been such a demand for lanterns since
the notice was posted that there is a
scarcity of them in the market. Nearly
all the wheelmen approve of the new or
dinance, and drivers of vehicles in the
park are particularly pleased.
R. S. Crawford, a bicycle manufacturer
of Hagerstown, Md., arrived here this
week in a private car on a pleasure trip.
He brought a number of friends, includ
ing the Mayor of Hacerstown, and under
the guidance of Edwin Mohrig they
have been seeing the city. The party will
soon leave for Southern California.
The dates thus far arranged for the
National circuit on this coast are: San
Francisco, November 1, 2; San Jose, 7, 8,
9; Santa Rosa, 16; Los Angeles, 21, 22, 23;
Santa Ana, 28; Riverside, 30. Other dates
will doubtless be arranged before long and
we will surely see some grand racing out
here in November, as all the crack riders
will be with the circuit and some may
winter here.
The Diamond Cycling Club of Alameda
now has thirty members and more are
coming in at every meeting. A smoker
will be held shortly and several club runs
are scheduled. Nile green and pink have
been adopted as club colors. The club has
two fast tandem teams, the Marriott
brothers and the Middlemass brothers.
The Garden City Cyclers and San Jose
Road Club will attend a clambake at Al
viso to-morrow. Next Sunday the Road
Club will also hold a five-mile race over
the East San Jose course.
The regular bi-monthly meeting of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs will
be held next Saturday evening at the
rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen, 441
Golden Gate avenue. All delegates are re
quested to be present. Spalding.
THE ANGLER.
Why Trout and Bass Fishing on San
Andreas Lake Is Poor.
Anglers who have returned from San
Andreas Lake aisappointed with their
luck cannot understand the reason for such
very poor fishing as has been experienced
this season. Since the lake was opened to
anglers only one or two good days' sport
have been enjoyed. The first Sunday's ex
perience netted the spooners well-filled
baskets of trout. In fact, the inaugural
week of the season was so replete with
good results that patrons of the quiet and
interesting pastime predicted a great sea
son's angling on the lake. Disappoint
ment, however, came when least expected.
The second week's fishing was only
passable, and the catches grew daily less
until now an angler considers himself
fortunate if after a day's trolling or bait
fishing he can show to his friends half a
dozen steelheads. Fly fishing is out of
question.
The reason for the poor fishing can easily
be explained. About two weeks ago
thousands of small black snails were noticed
clinging to the weeds that are very prolific
near the banks of the lake. An old angler
who had been surmising various reasons
for the refusal of the fishes to notice lures
which have proven sure killers predicted
at least one month of very poor sport the
moment he had seen the late and unlooked
for arrivals.
"The trout are feeding on those bugs,"
he said, -'and I will prove it." A fish was
immediately opened and its stomach was
actually crammed with black snails, which
evidence was sufficiently strong to con
vince the oJd expert and the ones who had
witnessed the post-mortem that angling
for trout in San Andreas would end in poor
success until the disappearance of the
snail.
The bass are as reluctant to sample a
tempting Jworm or frog, although many
hours have been devoted to angling for
those very edible fish.
John Grindley, a well-known Sacra
mento-street business man, is expected
home from a very pleasant outing to Lake
Independence on Monday. His friends
are anxiously waiting the hour of his
arrival to congratulate him on his very
pleasant vacation and to thank him for
the several messes of beautiful trout which
he so kindly shipped to tnem from the
mountain lakes and streams. Having met
all of his obligations and supplied every
friend with edible fish, he feels that he can
now return with a clear conscience and a
robust constitution, which will more than
carry him through 11 year's hard toil at
the flowery desk. As an angler Mr.
Grindley ranks among the most successful
of the local fraternity. He made his last
shipment of 150 beautiful trout on Tuesday
last. He caught most of his hsh on "the
Samoni dogfly."
Captain George dimming and J. R.
Moore of New York left this City last Mon
day for a two weeks' fishing trip on the
famous Williamson River in Eastern
Oregon.
W. F. Bogartand William Reed returned
last Monday from a flying trip to the
Trirckee River. The former caught thirty
trout, scoring two fishes less than his com
panion. They report the river still too
high for good sport.

How a Girl Captured a Six-Pronered
Buck in Tomales Bay.
The Country Club will meet before the
traps to-day at Oakland track, and as this
will be its last live-bird shoot prior to the
grand annual outing at Del Monte next
month a large representation of pigeon
grassers is expected. On Saturday the
Empire Club will shoot at Alameda mole
in the forenoon, and during the afternoon
a team shoot will result between the Lin
coln, Electric and Empire clubs.
The Country Club has decide \ to have
its preserve well stocked with foreign
game next year. It is now in correspond
ence with English sportsmen, who have
promised to supply the club with Scottish
grouse — a very hardy bird — blackcock and
other game md igcnous to the highlands of
Scotland. An attempt may also be made
to introduce the Japanese woodcock, a
bird which the most experienced sports
men of the club believe would prosper and
do well in Bear Valley and the swampy
ground that lies between Olema and the
White House. The pheasant has proven
a failure and experience has demonstrated
that this noble specimen of the game
bird family will thrive and flourish
only in the open country, where grain
grows in abundance and where the ground
is kept moist by raii.s. Since the Country
Club commenced war on "the varmints"
only an occasional fox, wildcat, coon or
polecat is now seen where a few years ago
they were not only plentiful but bold and
very destructive to j^ame birds. The result
of "the extermination of these worthless
animals is the i lcreaseof quail and cotton
tail rabbits. The latter have become sur
prisingly numerous.
Fanning, a weli-known trap-shooter,
whose gun burst one day last month while
shooting at live birds, will soon receive
two splendid barrels from the East in place
of the barrels which were destroyed.
Detective Harper and company of deer
hunters are expected home from a two
weeks' outing in Mendocino County this
week. Officer Ryan, who was among the
hunters for a few days, states thnt several
deer were killed, and that the day before
he left for home Harper killed a 400-pound
black bear in Rattlesnake Gulch.
A large deer was killed on Shattuck's
ranch, south of San Andreas Lake last
Sunday. The successful hunter before he
had given the came animal its final
quietus received a slash from a point of
the deer's horn, which laid open the back
of his left hand.
Al Hall of Point Reyes killed a nice
buck last Saturday on what is known as
the home ranch. Hall discovered two
bucks feeding in a com patch, and suc
ceeded in picking off the best looking ani
mal of the two.
There is a young lady rusticating at
Inverness, on Tomales Bay, who has won
the hearts of the young men in that neigh
borhood. She is brave as she is pretty,
and that is the principal reason she is so
highly prized by the younjj men and de
spised by creatures of her own sex.
Last week a magnificent an tiered deer
that Jhad been chased by Country Club
hounds dashed through Inverness camp
and into the bay. Not a single man was
in camp at the time, although quite a
number of single ladies saw the monarch
of the forest as it passed on to the water.
Only one among the cluster of bloomered
pleasure-seekers would condescend to
chise the deer, notwithstanding the fact
that it was a truly noble buck. But the
young lady who had qnicKly decided upon
venison for supper sprang into a canoe
which was her pleasure craft and paddled
after the monarch that had already gained
a large handicap. Slowly the canoe
gained upon the swimming deer,
and the race, according to several
ladies who witnessed it from shore,
was of a most exciting nature. The game
had almost gained the opposite bank when
the heroine of the camp, in her frail craft,
shot alongside those treacherous liorns
that adorned an elevated skull, and then
war was immediately declared by the
young miss, who landed the blade of her
paddle emphatically on the nose of the
now frenzied buck. The latter was handi
capped in not being in a position to use his
kickers in any way excepting as a means
of increasing'his speed.
The deer, on finding that his escape to
the cast side of the bay had been cut off by
the unexpected appearance of a dear girl,
reluctantly concluded to turn about wheel,
and the race back to Camp Inverness, over
the bay, is said to have been most amus
ing. Beauty in the boat kept close up to
the beauty in the water, and each time
that the buck would manifest the least de
sire to change its course or look mean,
beauty in the boat brought down
the sharp blade of the oar on the
horns of the swimming beauty. Final
ly the highly prized game had almost
reached the Inverness side when one of the
noble deer-stalkers connected with the
camp put in a welcome appearance with
one tree squirrel he had succeeded in
killing after a morning's hunt, and his
surprise can dp better imagined thnn de
scribed when his eyes feasted upon the
water picture. Quickly grasping a rope
that was close at hand, he sprang into a
boat and headed for beauty and the beast.
The deer was thoroughly exhausted by
this time and the hunter had little diffi
culty in getting its horns in a noose, after
which a landing was easily effected.
Camp Inverness was well supplied with
choice venison steaks for some days after
ward, but the letters of congratulation the
heroine received from her friends of this
City and elsewhere since then would more
chan have pleased a fastidious princess.
A small band of deer-stalkers, composed
of Colonel P. Boland, Schoolteacher O'Con
nor, Tom Cleary and Dave Haretield, has
just returned from a week's outing at the
headwaters of the Walhalla River. Hare
held is said to have killed two deer, but
Cleary more than astonished his friends
by some wonderful shooting at a dead
squirrel which had been tied on the limb
of a tree by one of the practical jokers.
He shot nine times at the squirrel and fail
ing to bring the little animal off its perch
he concluded that it had the ten lives of a
cat and being somewhat superstitious he
refused to shoot again. When informed
that his cartridges were loaded with small
iron spikes and that he bad actually
nailed the squirrel to the tree, his joy
knew no bounds, so states Joseph O'Con
nor.
One of the most prominent sportsmen of
the Country Club. Robert Woodward, en
joyed a rare experience while deer-shooting
on Sunday last on the club's preserve in
Marin County.
Messrs. Woodward and Hamilton were
the leaders of a small coterie of sportsmen,
who stole away from the headquarters of
the club, which is situated in the romantic
Bear Valley of Olema. Just as the streaks
of daylight were noticed in the" horizon,
and being determined upon having "a
monarch" or two on their return from the
warpath, Mr. Woodward selected from
among the gamekeepers the most expert
marksman to accompany the hunting
party on its chase for big game.
According to Mr. Hamilton's watch it
was almost 9 o'clock when the dogs routed
a four-pronged buck from a deep canyon
on the ocean side of the preserve. Several
shots at long range were fired at the fleet
ing venison, but none of the leaden mis
siles took effect. The hounds being in
splendid condition followed the trail at a
very rapid pace, giving the well-fed deer
very little time for rest and reflection.
After half an hour's run the antlered
game took refuge from its relentless pur
suers by plunging into the breakers of the
beach and swimming directly out to sea.
One of the hunting party watched the
progress of the escaping deer through a
field glass until it became a mere speck on
the slirface of the deep. The object of
much concern finally disappeared from
view, and the sportsmen concluded that
some shark would be enjoying a feast of
venison which was intended for those
gentlemen of the Country Club whose pro
clivities for deer hunting are small.
How far the deer swam "out to sea,"
Beauty and the Beast in Tomales Bay
Mr. Woodward was unable to conjecture,
but his surprise may better be imagined
tnan described when, after almost an
hour's waiting, during which time lunch
was partaken of, he discovered away in
the aim distance the speck that had some
time previously disappeared from sight,
but now growing more pronounced as
time wore on.
It was the return of the noble buck from
sea, and ail the eyes of the hunting party
were steadfastly centered on the incoming
animal that was swimming rapidly land
ward on a Hood tide.
Fatigued and almost completely ex
hausted from its long swim, the deer was
scarcely able to stand on its all-fours when
it reached the shallow. After a rest of a
few minutes the noble animal walked
slowly along the shore until it reached a
cave in the rocks where it sought shelter
and rest for the time being.
Mr. Hamilton thought that the killing
of such a thoroughly game animal would
be unsportsmanlike", but the majority of
the hunters of big game decided against
him, and again the famous swimming buck
of Bear Valley was routed from his last
resting-place and killed by Mr. Woodward
just as it made its hnal appearance on the
sands of time. /
There was, needless to say, great rejoic
ing at the Country Club's rendezvous
when the successful sportsmen put in an
appearance with the largest buck that has
ever fallen before the deadly aim of a
Country Club representative.
The start, the chase, the swim, the re
turn and the shot that ended the career of
the monarch of the Bear Valley Glen is
now the absorbing topic of conversation
among the sportsmen of the Country,
Burlingarue and Pacific Union clubs.
COURSING.
The Greatest Meeting of the Year
Will Be Held at Ocean View.
What promises to be the banner coursing
meeting of the year will be held at Cas
serley's coursing park at Ocean View,
September 8 and 9. On those dates it is
expected that all of the most noted grey
hounds in California will be represented
on the field as the inducements in the way
of monetary prizes are far in the lead of
any considerations that have been offered
in the past for coursing. The first prize
will consist of $150 in gold coin, second
prize $100, third and fourth prizes $50, and
four prizes of $17 50 each. What better
inducements for a gathering of first-class
dogs could a fair-minded sportsman wish
for? It is not a bit too early for trainers to
commence training dogs for this meeting,
as there will be among the entrants some
of the cracker-jacks of Sacramento and
vicinity that will certainly make things
very interesting for the champion racing
stock of this City.
