Lovers of rifle-shooting are getting ready for the great annual Schuetzen Club festi val which will be held in San Rafael Park in a few weeks. . The coursing meeting at Ocean View next month will attract dog men from many parts of the State. Angling parties are leaving the City daily for the mountains. The Country Club will hold its annual pigeon shoot and polo races at Del Monte during the latter week of this month. { -''" The addition of a rowing annex to the Olympic Club will boom amateur aquatics. Devotees of tennis are arranging ; for a ceries of matches to be held in the J sub urbs of Oakland. THE WHEELMEN. San Jose Road Club's Five-Mile Road Race To- Morrow. CLUB EVENTS TO-MORROW. Acme Club Wheelmen— Run to San Jose. California Cycling Club— to Napa. Four Aces Cycling Club— Run to San Eeandro. Garden City Cyclers— Bun to Warm Springs. Golden City Wheelmen— Bun to Toco lorn a. Liberty Cycling Club— to Bolinas. Outing Boad Clvb — to Camp Tay lor. Pacific Cycling Club— Bun to Eos Gatos and Saratoga. Reliance Club Wheelmen — to the Beach and Presidio. San Francisco Boad Club— to tho Beach. Ran Jose Boad Club— Five-mile road race. There has been nothing of particular mo ment during the past week, except the arrival of the Mclirathsfrora Chicago last Monday on their tour awheel around the world. They have been shown every at tention since their arrival, and will no doubt enjoy themselves here up to August 13, when they embark for Japan. George A. Nissen's wonderful perform ance of 25:45 in the ten-mile road race of the Acme Club Wheelmen last Sunday, stamps that young rider as a "speed mer chant' of great ability. It is a question whether any one will be able to lower this record for a long time. To-morrow he will make an endeavor to establish a record between the Courthouse, Oakland, and San Jose, so low that no one will want to even try to beat it. The distance is exactly forty-four miles, and Nissen will make the start at 2 p. m. and will be paced by four tandems from the Diamond Cycling Club of Alameda, under whose colors it is stated he will ride hereafter. Nissen seems to be as much of a wanderer from one club to another as some of our other reputed crackerjacks, having belonged to the Ala medas, Bay Citys, Acmes and now the Diamonds. But his joining the latter club is excusable as he lives in Alameda and it is more convenient to him. The regular bimonthly meeting of the board of governors of the California Asso ciated Cycling Clubs will be held this evening at the rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen, 441 Golden Gate avenue, and all delegates are requested to be present. An amendment to the by-laws will be offered, which must pass the meeting unanimously to become a rule, that no contestant can ride in the relay race for any club unless he has been a resident of the locality in which the club is situated for at least six months prior to the race. Although one negative would kill this resolution, it will probably be passed, as it is favored by all the clubs. The proposition to hold a theater party for the benefit of the association, also a steamer ride around the bay and the annual ten-mile race in Octo ber, will be thoroughly discussed. The question whether the Koyal or Crescent club is entitled to membership under the original application cf the Crescent Road Club, will be finally reported on by the inter-club relations committee. There is a rumor, which sadly needs verification, that the association will hold its next meeting after to-night in San Jose. The Pacific Cycling Club will ride to Los Gatos by moonlight to-night, returning via Congress Springs to-morrow. The roads covered on this trip are in splendid condition. The Camera Club cyclists held a meeting last Thursday evening. Captain Argenti reported on the recent club runs and Pres ident Adams interested the members with several readings on cycling from papers written by himself. The club will meet again on the 15th inst. The picture accompanying this article shows three of the fastest" and best known class A riders in California, representing three of the largest cycling clubs — Percy R. Mott, Acme Club Wheelmen Dan T. Whitman (of Los Angeles), Olympic Club Wheelmen, and Floyd A. McFarland, San Jose Road Club. The picture gives the impression of an actual race Mott's side glance at Whitman's wheel, the latter's determined look, and McFarland with that celebrated hump on his back. Harlow H. White, chairman of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, with four com panions will leave next weeK for an ex tended vacation in the northern part of Humboldt County on a hunting and fish ing trip. Cycling clubs continue to be organized everywhere. The latest is the Polytechnic High School Cycling Club, with the follow ing officers: President, W. Britt; vice president and second lieutenant, S. Phil lips; secretary, treasurer and first lieuten ant, L.White; captain, N. Cahn. Several country runs are planned and the club promises well. The Liberty Cycling Club will go to Bo linas to-morrow, taking the Ba. m. Sausa lito boat. This is a hard ride, but a par ticularly beautiful one, and the scenery en route fully repays one for the hard work incident to the trip. On Sunday, the 11th inst., the club will have a run "to San Ma teo, on the 18th to the park with the ladies' annex, and on the 25th a live-mile roadrace over the San Mateo course, the entries for which close Tuerday evening, August 13. The handicapping will be done by F. Fan ning, C. Meyer, R. McLean, S. Mitchell and J. Quarga. The Outing Road Club will enjoy a run to Camp Taylor to-morrow, taking the 8 a. m. Sausaiito boat. Captain L. L. Korn has called a run of the San Francisco Road Club to tne beach to-morrow, leaving the clubhouse, - 726 Golden Gate avenue, at Ip. K. The blind run last Sunday ended at the Ingleside, the Outing Road Club being the guests of the San Franciscos. An excellent repast was served and every one had a jolly time. The California Cycling Club, members will go to Napa to-night, leaving the City on the steamer Zinfandel from Jackson street wharf at 6:15 o'clock sharp. They will enjoy a run in the vicinity of Napa Sunday and return that nieht. For those who cannot get away on this trip another run has been called to the park for to- 1 P. R.

The San Jose Road Club will hold the I eighth of a series of five-mile handicap | road races over the East San Jose course j to-morrow, the entries for which are as j follows: J. Wing, J. A. Harrington, F. Smith, F. A. McFarland, R. D. McFar- I land, V. A. Benson, G. Hardenbrook, J. j Carroll, A. L. Benson, C. Dahlstrom, Ray | Hogg, H. Galloway, Charles Maddox and I Gus Navlet. They will have handicaps ; ranging from nothing to 3 minutes, with | McFarfand on the scratch. The record for the course is 13:43 2-5. held by McFarland, and he will try to lower it considerably. After the race the club will entertain the I Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland, who I ! will ride down to-night on the Oakland ! side under Captain Kitchen. The Road '. Club will meet them at Warm Springs. The Oakland Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club j will hold a five-mile road race on next ! Thursday evening at 6:30 o'clock, from | San Leandro to Haywards. B. H. Elford and E. C. Brown are looked to to make the best time. Captain J. A. Delmas has called a run of | the Garden City Cyclers to Warm Springs i to-morrow, where they will be tendered a I clam bake by the proprietor of the Warm Springs Hotel. The San Francisco Bicycle Track Asso ciation will meet next Friday evening at j the rooms of the Young Men's Christian I Association. There is still some talk of ! the association holding a race .meet at Central Park, to increase its treasury if possible. The meet could be held on a Saturday afternoon and would probably be successful. The Four Aces Cycling Club will have a run to San Leandro to-morrow, leaving their clubrooms, Eighth and Mission streets, at 10:30 a. M. sharp. The Golden City Wheelmen will have a run to Tocaloma to-morrow, leaving on the Ba. m. Sausaiito ferry, thence by train to San Anselmo, where the ride will begin. Ten new members have been added to the roll and several more . applications are to be voted on. The Reliance Club Wheelmen of Oak land will hold a club run to the beach and Presidio to-morrow. The club will hold a five-mile handicap > road race • from? San Leandro to Haywards on Sunday, August 18, and Captain Bates expects a large entry list. The Pastimes have added a bicycle an nex to their club and have elected "the fol lowing officers : K. M. Borman, captain ; F. X. Larkey, first lieutenant; J. T. Mc- Carthy, second lieutenant. The first run will be held Sunday, August 11, to San Leandro. The _ Olympic Club Wheelmen have a five-mile handicap road race scheduled for Sunday, August 18. Ten valuable prizes will be offered, ana as Foster, Jones and Davis will ride the pace will be very fast. Foster will - endeavor to ride within the world's five-mile record of 11:19. He will undoubtedly lower Alexander's coast five mile record of 12:03 2-5, but whether he can lower the former mark is a question. However, with good pacing and a fast course he should be able to do the trick. The following communication from Miss Ida M. Stanford, secretary -treasurer of the Ladies' Annex to the Liberty Cycling Club, is self-explanatory : . The Ladies' Annex to the .Liberty Cycling Club was formed last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. _N. A Robinson, . 1141 . Market street where twelve young ladies congregated for the purpose of joining a bloomer club. ; The charter members are: Mrs. N. A. Robin son, Miss Ida M. Stanford, Miss L. M.

Henry Martin, capitalist and worthy grand treasurer of the Native Sons of the i Golden West, is now an enthusiastic ! bicycle-rider. He started in with the idea i that the exercise would reduce his weight. I He was not disappointed, as he has lost ; twenty-two pounds avoirdupois in about j three weeks. The success of the experi ; ment has given him a liking for the exer cise and the "bike" is now one of Mr. Mar j tin's most cherished possessions. His favorite exercise ground is Washing- I HENRY MARTIN- ON HIS "BIKE." ton square and there is not a night in the week but what "the most popular man in the order of Native Sons" can be seen at exercise. When he first started in Henry tipped the beam at 300 pounds. Now he only weighs , 278 pounds and has a com plexion like a healthy schoolboy. The youths of the neighborhood have tried and tried again to beat ■ him in trial spins around the square, but in a spurt he can win hands down. Over a distance he is not so good, as his weight tells. When Mr.-Martin made the pleasing dis covery that he could control a "bike" he at once procured a complete outfit. His bloomers and sweater are of the latest pat tern and his cap is of Scotch plaid. When in full uniform he presents a striking ap pearance and his friends compliment nim. Every Sunday Mr. Martin goes to Oakland and . takes a ' ten-mile spin. As soon as Deputy . Collector Jerome has recovered from the effects of his last accident, Mr. Jerome intends to challenge him to a con test on the Oakland racetrack. In spite of the acknowledged . ability of the Custom house man as a bicycle-rider there are many who are willing to bet that Martin will win out in the end. GUN AND RIFLE. A Horse Whose Instinct for Hunting Is Marvelous— Snap Shots. Although some weeks have passed since the inaugural day of the deer-shooting season, very few flattering reports of suc cess have arrived from the several camping parties that left this City for the happy hunting grounds. Sportsmen who have returned state that although male deer are scarce in parts of the countrj* where in past years they were plentiful, does and fawns have increased in numbers, proving conclusively that considerable poaching must have been going on during the closed seasons and that the bucks were singled out for the slaughter. ' The fact that the deer as well as the small game will soon disappear unless the Supervisors appoint county wardens is very conclusive, and the sportsmen of every county of this State should at least interest themselves in the protection of game birds and animals during the breed ing season. Campers kill off many quail that are raising broods, and for every mother that, helps to furnish a meal for a camper at least" one dozen little chicks suffer the death that occurs from neglect and starvation. The camper, however, does not care a fig for the result of his van dalism as long as his appetite for quail on toast is appeased, but if there was a county warden lurking in the vicinities selected by the rusticators many a representative of the latter tribe would be made to pay handsomely for luxuries unlawfully pro cured and the county treasury would profit by the transaction. ' "The men who leave this City for a sum mer outing are no worse than country town clerks and the sooner they will be made to understand and to fear the law the better it will be for the game and the people at large. Tui- Cam, stated a few weeks ago that county ordinances that do not conflict with ' the State game law are still in force. It is ! very evident that the game protectors of j some counties have been taking a lesson from The Call's teachings, as letters have : reached this office from sportsmen in the j country giving particulars of arrests that I have been made for the killing of deer and ' quail out of season. Six arrests were made in Lake Country last month and five ar rests have been reported in Mendocino. . In the last-named county the deer shooting season will open August 25 anc close October 15. In Lake County the sea son opened on the Ist inst. and will close October 1. Several deer were killed in Santa Cruz County in July, but the season I did not open until last Thursday. There having been no game warden appointed j for Santa Cruz County, fawns, docs and bucks were slaughtered with impunity. j The sportsmen of Amador and San Joa ! quin counties should remember that the I season for deer-shooting in their respective j counties is from September 1 to Octo- I ber 1. The live and inanimate bird shooting events on slates for to-morrow are: Cali fornia Wing-Shooting Club, live birds, at the ; Oakland Park; Electric Gun Club, clay birds, Oakland Park: Sportsman's Association . of Alameda '. County, clay birds, at Oakland Park. '• George Jackson/ a prominent represen tative of the Pacific Kennel Club and Olympic Club, while dove-shooting last ; Sunday : near Cordelia, espied some large bird sailing lazily in the air toward him. He supposed it was a large chicken hawk, but as the; object drew nearer he saw that it was a real simon pure Ameri can eagle on a mission for young mutton. Two charges of No. 8 shot brought the noble specimen of the feathered tribe to earth, and, according to the sportsman, the expression of rage depicted in the bird's eyes was something to be admired and ■--agM_WMM|a_W|[|^^ H.Wagner, J. Berriere and two friends have left this City for a month's shooting and fishing in the vicinity of Ferndale, Humboldt County. T. M. Barney of the Tamalpais Sports men's Club succeeded in bringing down a splendid spiked buck last Monday. Mr. Barney was a very proud man on his re turn from the chase, not because of having captured a splendid deer but because of the excellent shot he had made at the animal while it was going at top speed in comparatively open ground. The deer dressed at 120 pounds. McAvoy, a teamster for Miller & Lux, succeeded in bagging another large buck last Sunday on Shattuck's ranch. Mr. Mc- Avoy states that the horse he rides when deer-hunting will manifest signs of alarm when passing near the lair of a deer and invariably snorts and tramps the ground when he scents big game." Any person doubting: this statement can win a wager of $50 from the owner of the horse if proofs cannot be shown on trial. E. O'Rourke, E. C. Lachs, Joe Rodgers and Doctor Hitchcock left last Monday for a three weeks' shooting trip to Branscomb, which place is about fifty miles north of Ukiah. They expect to find bear, deer and lions in abundance. The trouble in Wyoming between the Indians and the white settlers was caused by the wanton destruction of game, which had been killed out of season by the In dians. .The settlers were punished when caught in the act of killing game during the closed seasons and they naturally rebelled against the visits of the red men, who can never be made to understand that game must be protected during what is termed the breeding season. Wyoming is a natural preserve for big game. The Indians know every inch of the country, and it has been found no easy task to keep them in their reservations every summer and fall. An Indian will pursue for miles a female elk just to secure the unborn young, which he considers a great delicacy, and to gratify his fiendish desire thousands of female elk have been killed just at a season of the year when they require the closest protection. The Indian agents are undoubtedly to blame for the uprising and the present condition of affairs, because if they had refused to give the Indians permission to leave their reservations, ostensibly to visit neighbor ing tribes, but in reality to go hunting, there would be no necessity for the send ing of troops in pursuit of the Bannocks. If some scheme can be devised compelling the Indian agents to conform to the laws respecting Indians hunting off their re spective reservations future difficulties be tween the reds and the wnites will 'be pleasantly avoided. THE ANGLER. Pleasure-Hunters Who Are Off for the Mountains— Short Casts. Now is the time of the year anglers should shake the dust of the City from their boots and repair to the highland streams, where the best of trout-fishing is to be had. The larva, which were so plen tiful in the rivers whose banks were washed by the swift and heavy waters dur ing the months of June and July have dis appeared, and the result is the trout which have waxed strong and fat on snails and other crustacean food must now look up to the fluttering insects which arop from the overhanging trees into the jaws of death, so to speak. ' ■ .* ""•'•'■' The angler who prefers one hour of fly fishing, to a day's bait fishing can safely rely upon good" sport in any of the streams which contain trout from* now until the end of the angling season. To have good sport it must be understood that skill in the art of fly -casting is in dispensable. Practical experience is also necessary, because at this season the water of a river or stream is as clear as amber, and a trout is quick to see danger ahead. Success in angling greatly depends on the man at the butt of the rod. Moral : Do not let the fish see you. Cast well ahead and strike quickly and lightly and you wiil be rewarded "with success. Small flies are best, but they must be tied on substantial gut. If the day is dark try flies of light color, and the reverse on bright days. W. A. Tilley returned a few days ago from Truckee. He reports that the river is yet too high for first-class trout fishing, but some good sport can be relied on for the morning and evening's whip. He speaks very highly of the sport that awaits anglers on Sagehen Creek, which is only a short distance from Boca. Robert Hewson is preparing an excur sion which will be run from this City to Boca at reduced rates. The excursion is specially intended for anglers, and Mr. Hewson is of the opinion that it will be a great success. . Al Cumming is preparing for a two months' outing on the Truckee and Inde pendence Lake. He will divide his leisure time between shooting mountain quail and grouse and landing rainbow and cutthroat trout. Captain George Cumming is now enjoying the grand fishing that always awaits anglers on the Williamson River. The captain's companion, a Mr. Moore of New York, sends word that he never enjoyed such grand sport, and twenty five trout he caught in one afternoon's fish ing scaled sixty-five pounds. Billy Cooney caught a nice basket of fish last Sunday in Stony Creek. John Lemmer returned from the head waters of the Sacramento River a few days ago with some very nice trout. One salmon which Mr. Lemmer hooked overcame him completely. He thinks the fish must have weighed at least forty pounds. Henry Skinner, the champion long dis tance fly-caster of the coast, Mr. Chase of Santa Cruz and John Gallagher of Oak land will leave this evening for Boca, to.be gone one week. How those old rainbows will suffer a skinning out. , ■, . - .. ■ - 'Merton Allen of the Chronicle, George Jackson, H. Gobher and Mr. White will take their departure ' on the 6th inst. for the famous Van Duzen River in Humboldt County. V The party of expert anglers and big-game hunters will spend three weeks in the happy hunting grounds of Northern California. - Bass-fishing in San Andreas Lake has improved, but trout-fishing still remains poor. Anglers and sportsmen will,* no doubt, be sorry to learn that John Sammi, treas urer of : the San Francisco Rod and Gun Club, has been confined to his room with a severe attack of rheumatism, the result of a cold. CRICKET CHIRPS. Recent -Matches in England— Big Scores In Ireland— At Home. So many and varied are the reports regard ing the present size of the Grace testimonial fund that ; it is impossible : to do more than guess at it. The last gave the "single shilling account" credit for 03,000 shillings. The ma jority rof foreign : clubs has * yet to ; be heard from, so ; the grand total jis likely to be emi nently, satisfactory. :In regard to " .V. G.s" recent exploits with the bat it is reported that in the seven matches in which he has played for Gloucestershire this . season he has . played twelve innings— not out— and scored 1054 runs; with an average of 95.9. It must be : near the record score that Essex made |in its ( match with Somerset last month," -92, to which the highest contributions were 15.1 by Carpenter and - 147, by .'■ C. McGahey . Their opponents made 375 in two innings. ' • But the | most important English event to chronicle is the Harrow and Eton match.which, after three long days, resulted in a draw in Eton's . favor. r The '-. latter, called ; both its innings for .260 and; 2B3 respectively; their adversaries' finished first innings netting 326 and the second 75 for 9. As in England, the season has been a notable one for scores in the Emerald Isle. In the re cent Leinster-Ulster match the first two Lein ster men put on 152 in an hour against excel lent bowling, and the side was only dismissed for 535, while ; centuries are everyday occur rences. jj_*iiji I' _M llijfclfii 'M.I fil* j— tt 1 1 -ijili-i| iit iil'iifyri I regret, to say that F.

The : matches : scheduled for to-morrow are: Alamedas vs. Pacifies, at Alameda— likely to be a close event— and Bohemias vs. Californias, at Klinknerville. The latter maybe forfeited by the Californias on account of their captain's absence. Umpiee. HANDBALL. Rules That Will Govern the World's Championship Match. The champion handball-players of the world, John Law lor and Phil Casey, are now in Ireland. As stated some weeks ago in The Call, Lawlor left New York for Ireland purposely to play the Irish champion, Fitzgerald, for the Irish cham pionship and the championship of the world also. When Casey learned that very keen interest was manifested in handball by the Irish people he concluded to put in an appearance on the other side of the water, and in all probability he will chal lenge the winner of the Fitzgerald-La wlor match, but the game must be played in ac cordance with the old rules, as the Irish people do not take much stock in the rules T. Lawless. framed by Phil Casey. It will be interest ing to the lovers of the game here to learn of the articles of agreement and the rules that will govern the big Irish game. The following is a copy from Dublin Sport, an Irish sportsman s journal : Articles of agreement entered into this 15th day of July, 1895, between James Fitzgerald and John Lawlor, whereby the said James Fitzgerald agrees to play the said John Lawlor a match at handball— the best of twenty-one games— twenty-one aces to each game.— in the racquet and handball court, Grattan street, Cork, for fifty (£SO) a side and the champion ship of the world. The first ten games of the match to be played on Thursday, August 15, 1895. Play to commence at 2p. m. and not later than 3p. m. The remaining portion of the match to be played on Tuesday, August 20. Should it rain and wet the floor so as to inter fere with the match being played on either of the days mentioned, the match shall stand postponed from day to day till the court shall be in proper playing condition, Sundays ex cepted.-." It is also agreed that the match shall be played according to the following rules: 1. That every hall served over the short line shall be an ace unless returned. . *• ■■'-.* ,"* 2. That three short balls be a hand out. 3. That any ball striking the tell board shall not be up. 4. That each player will have the privilege of selecting a ball every other game: the said ball after being selected cannot be changed during the game unless it be unfit for playing, the player losing the toss to have the first choice. 5. That neither of the players shall leave the court during the progress of the game, unless with the consent of the other. 6. That on signing this agreement, twenty five pounds (£25) shall be deposited with the editor of Sport, who shall be final stakeholder. The balance of the stake money to be deposited on or before Thursday, August 8. 7. That the referee must decide all disputes according to this agreement, and his decisions must be final, as no appeal to a court of law shall be allowed-" 3. That if the referee selected for the first part of the match be unable to act as such for the second, another referee be appointed. 9. That Mr. Lawlor receive half the gate re ceipts for his expenses; the other half to be divided between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Hor gan, the proprietor of the court. 10. That either player failing to comply with this agreement will forfeit the stake and cham pionship. The famous Kanturk player, Timothy Twohill, has been after the* Irish cham pion for several months for a game, but for reasons best known to Fitzgerald the latter has ignored the Kanturk man. However, Twohill has deposited the sum of $125 as a guarantee that he means busi ness and will meet the winner of the big match when the race for place is finished. Casey is accompanied : by Dunn, the champion amateur player of America. According to the present outlook hand ball will be a most interesting pastime this summer in the green little isle. ■> The principal topi, of conversation among handball-players during the week has been the proposed match between M. J. Kilgallon and J. Harlow, the coast champion, { for a monetary consideration and the championship of the coast. .- . . It was confidently expected that all arrangements for the match would have been made this week, but unfortunately it j has not turned out as was anticipated. j The stumbling block was the proposition of Kilgallon that the match should be con tested in the three courts— the San ; Fran cisco. Occidental and Union. Harlow's friends objected to this proposition on the grounds that it would take too long to de cide the match, and that it would look too much like a hippodrome or* "fake." 'On Sunday night the matter was talked over with Kilgallon and he agreed on the r sug gestion of Harlow's backers *to play the first of the series of games in the San Francisco court and he would have the option of selecting either the Occidental or Union courts to play the balance of the games. Since then Kilgallon has made no move ment to clinch the match, but it is under stood that he wants a week or two to train and finally decide upon the dates for the match. Harlow ,is only too anxious to meet him, and by agreeing to play the con cluding games of the series in i either the Occidental or San Francisco courts he has shown a sportsman-like spirit and a proper feeling . for. the best interests of the game. It is to be hoped that Kilgallon and his backers will meet Harlow in the same lib eral spirit, and that all arrangements for the match will be completed without any lurther unnecessary delay. T A h m d t _-- of the match between Kilgallon and T. F. Bonnet of the Occidental court has not yet been fixed. / It is considered probable that . it will not take place till after the match between Harlow and Kil gallon is played. Bonnet has no ambition for cnampionship honors but simply wants GAIL BORDEN EAGLE Brand ' _ ..CONDENSED MILK.. ; Has No Equal SOLD EVERYWHERE . NEW TO-DAY.

The Price of Wheels DEALERS WORK BOTH THE EXTREMES of high price and low price to catch buyers Just now the high price proves the best bait. First, because it is human nature to imagine a thing is the best if it costs the most; second, because paying- a high price sounds "swell" ! whether the article is so or not. There is another class of buyers, however, who want the best but are not willing or rather cannot afford to pay any more than a thing is worth just to gratify their vanity.
