Stockton has some good men to enter in the sprints, and one crack Matt who can clear 10 feet 6 inches in the standing broad jump. The clubhouse of the Stockton Athletic Association is now completed and will be inspected Sunday morning by a committee from the board of directors. Apparatus has been ordered from the East and will be here within the next month.

The club proposes to engage one of the best instructors in the country, and before another year will be heard from in track as well as indoor athletics. John Craig. CYCLING FOR LADIES. A San Jose Girl Who Rides a Century in Eight Hours. PAN JOSE, June While out for a spin one moonlight evening, in passing i lads and lassies awheel, I noticed that three out of ten girls, albeit they were good riders, had the handle-bars so high that their position was a most awkward one.

This is an error that should be corrected. Our girls are naturally graceful, I and they surely should not be'ungraceful Qpon the silent steed which bears them bo swiftly away from care. Having the han- die-bars a trifle lower than the seat will assure a graceful and easy pose, besides ruaking it much easier to preserve one's balance. Another thin? our should do before proclaiming themselves mistresses of the bicycle is to thoroughly learn its mechanism. They should understand how to repair parts injured, thus making themselves independent in case of accident.

Imagine a woman twenty miles from civilization with a flat tire and no knowledge of the use of a pump! In MISS LOTTIE BROSIUS OF SAN JOSE, WHO BODE A CENTTJBY LAST SUNDAY. fancy I see her sitting by the roadside a picture of despair, without even a hand- kerchief in her bloomer pocket to catch the falling tears. So many object to the Dicycle because it takes the young men ana women away from Sunday services. Do you know I believe a week spent bending oTer a desk or standing behind a counter in rooms not even well ventilated is enough to rack the nervous system of the strongest man, to say nothing of his weak sister who toils quite as hard for i the money, and surely after all the toil and weariness going for a Sunday morning spin can be no sin. Are we not nearer heaven when we are out breathing Qod'fl air and Jetting his sunshine into uur hearts than when we sit within cathedrals grand in an atmosphere that is stifling listening to sermons which do not even interest us and wishing ourselves miles away? There can be no hypocrisy in a true Christian's heart, and we are hypocrites when we attend church because twould cause comment were we to spend our Sundays elsewhere.

In ye olden time the Word was expounded by earnest men 'nealh spreading trees, and every sentence was eagerly ab.sorbed by the listeners. Now a polished man stands in a polished pulpit; we sit in cushioned pews and listen to him turning and twisting the Word until we go home believing we are not such a bad lot after all, smiling a selfsatisfied little smile and patting ourselves upon our honored pates. What mockery it is! Better a day in the country reading a sermon in every flower that blows than wearily listening to thirdlys and fonrthlys and returning to our homes refreshed In neither body nor soul. Recently while sauntering down First street a dashing chemical blonde whizzed by in rational costume. Her snit was black, with red leather facings, her cap made entirely of the brilliant stuff, and her dainty feet encased in shoes of the same hue.

"She attracted attention; she wanted to, and so the darling wish of her heart was granted, but the street gamin was there, and, with a jeering laugh, he shouted, "Ah, Charlie, get on tode bloomers," "Shut up," said Charlie. "De bloomers is all right; it's de girl." And never have I founa a better solution to the problem. It all depends upon the woman wearing the costume. Queer, is it not. that our society belles think nothing of appearing upon the beach in costumes equal to those of a ballet girl, lying under sun umbrellas, digging holes in the sand with their dear little toes and never going near the water, and yet they will give you a scornful little glance and a j-hrug of the shoulders if you dare to mention those vulgar bloomers.

They will freely exhibit at any swell reception beautiful shoulders and arms and will not even blush when you compliment them upon the beauty of their forms, but they will scream, the dear things, if you propose having them appear in public, well covered from the public gaze, astride a bi- Bloomers are neither pretty nor graceful, but we are thinking of comfort now not looks. The girl of to-day is going to be natural. She is going to prove herself something besides a walking advertisement for the mogt faehionable tailor and the best "beauty doctor," and therefore is not going to wear skirts when bloomers are proper. This week I present a picture of Miss Brosius, who made a century in -eight hours as mentioned in last Saturday's issue. These moonlight nights turn one's mind to the romantic age of Romeo and Juliet, but I think were Juliet living to-day Romeo would forsake the silken ladder and get a wheel.

The weather has made the trout slug, and as food is still plentiful they are to rise.

The Los Gatos and its tribies are well fished, although the ims are visited more by those in search creation than by experienced anglers, ill Lawrence and Charles Suvdam lit seventy-five trout in the Los Gatos around Alma and Forest Grove, Wednesday. Experts pronounce this string of fish the finest ever taken In that I.m. Twenty of the trout measured eight to ten inches in length.

They fished in the Ysabel, Alanieda, JCalaveras and Smith creeks. Considerable interest is aroused among bicyclists over the race Sunday between Oscar Osen and two of the fastest horses on the coast. The distance is ten miles, and the horses will alternate each mile. The Epworth League Cyclers and the Association Cyclers will hold a thirty-mile relay race next week. The teams will be composed of six men and the race will be held over the nve-mile course in East San Jose.

The Gentlemen's Driving Club will hold a six days' race meet, beginning September 33. The citizens have subscribed $1000. At Agricultural Park a large number of horses are in training, but all interest centers on the stable of Winship Keating, the Vendome stock farm and C. H. Corey, which leave here on Saturday, June 15, in a Burton palace horsecar for Portland, Or.

The horses are entered in the meets at Portland and Salem, but will return here in time for the opening of the State Fair races. SPORT IN MENDOCINO.

Eastman, Albert Bruner, G. T. Ruddock of San Francisco, and others, were rewarded with good catches. Mr. Lamott, who last year put at least a half million trout in one stream, was with us again this week.

On this trip he brought us 20,000 foutanalis and deposited them in Cold Creek, about six miles north of Ukiah. His son a few days before deposited 10,000 small-mouthed black bass in Clear Lake, near Lakeport. There is talk of a fish-hatchery being located at Ukiah, with Mr. Lamott in charge. Should this prove true our streams can then be constantly replenished, and with our sportsman's club to keep an eye on the "pirates," we can be guaranteed permanent sport and full creels.

Reports have come to town that pleasureseekers from abroad, who are among our SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1895. forests and streams for sport, are violating all human and divine laws in the slaughter of deer. The carcass of a doe was found by one of our citizens not far from the public road, and iv other instances does and fawns, fresh killed and stripped of their hides. The club is investigating and arrests and convictions are hoped for. Nimrod.

LOS ANGELES SPORTING. Festival of the The Santa Monica Road Race. LOS The Kreisturnfest to be held in this city under the auspices of the local Turners on June 22 and four following days is attracting much attention. It will be the most extensive of the kind ever held in this part of the State. Entries will close June 15 and there are already an immense number in the hands of the secretary.

The yalue of the prizes for athletic sports and bicycle races is $1000. After the Kreisturnfest the next big event in the cycling world of Southern California will be the Santa Monica road race. From the number of applications already in there will be not less than three hundred contestants, and as the prize list has already reached over $'2000 worth of articles, some good racing is looked for. The course is in better condition this year than it was last year and there are reasons to believe that Ulbricht's time (57:01) will be notched down very considerably. The distance is seventeen miles.

Tom McAleer made a gallant attempt to lower the 100-mile record, but at the end of fifty miles he saw it was useless to continue the effort. He intends having another go at it before long. Captain Hall of the Los Angeles Wheelmen has called a run to Santa Monica for Sunday next over the 17-mile road racecourse. Chairman Golden of the L. A.

W. is likely to hear a good deal from Southern California points if all the three-lap tracks that have been projected are completed this summer, it is possible that the national circuit may be extended to California. So far only San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles have asked for dates, but when San Diego, Santa Ana, Riverside and Pasadena carry out their promises Southern California will be "strictly in it." Society, in its most elevated region, has been struck by the cycling fever. A new club has just been organized here to be known as the Saddle and Cycle County Club of Los Angeles, and, judging by the names of those who have signified their intention of joining, it will be by all odds the swellest thing of the kind in this city. Arrangements have already been made for a town clubhouse and a country rendezvous.

At the first regular meeting of the members, held a few days ago, Sumner P. Hunt was elected president, Mrs. Victoria Harrell vice-president, M. Callender secretary and treasurer and J. E.

Cook captain. The colors adopted were crimson, red and navy blue. The bicycle scheme known by the name of the California Cycle Racing Circuit Confederation is a flat failure. It was managed by Charles F. Gates, representing a bicycle house.

The whole business seems to have been of a very ramblinc character, a sort of go-as-you-please concern that went as it pleased and, naturally, went all to pieces. Whether it was that Southern California does not offer a sufficiently large field for Mr. Gates' large ideas, or whether Mr. Gates' large ideas are altogether too large for this or any other locality, has not yet been definitely determined but there is one fact about which there remains no doubt that the circuit scheme with the big name is a fiasco. The Rambler men here say that the circuit was not paying expenses, and as there was no one in sight to keep on putting up the deficiencies, the thing just naturally dropped out of sight.

VISALIA SPORTING. Mountain Streams That Have Been Tennis and Rifle. VISALIA, May 27. L. N.

Ellis, W. H. Elam and M. L. Weaner, of the Visalia Sportsmen's Club, left Visalia recently with some black bass, intending to plant them in one of the lakes on the north slope of Shell Mountain.

The trip made by wagon as far as Dry Creek. From there by saddle horses, the fish being carried on pack horses. At the summit of Redwood Mountain the party encountered a blinding snowstorm, and had to travel in it until Woodcock Meadows, on Ten Mile Creek, was reached. There camp was made on the evening of the 28th. Here, three years I ago, Mr.

Ellis planted nine trout, caught in Kings River, and carried thirty miles in i a baking-powder can. They found that these trout had inj creased in numbers, but were only in about a quarter of a mile of the On the 29th and 30th they succeeded in catching about seventy fit for transportation. Of these some were taken a mile or more further up Ten Mile Creek and liberated, while Mr. Ellis took a part of the remainder to Weston and Stony creeks, near the north line of the Sequoia National I Park. These two streams are, or should be, ideal homes for trout, as they run through a country easy of access and which will furnish feed for almost any amount of stock.

Mr. Elam and Mr. Weaver took the bass and some of the trout by a trail farther north and east than the one followed by Mr. Ellis, and, after a very dangerous ride of several miles over immense snowdrifts, succeeded in reaching I the lakes, where they found it necessary to break two or three inches of ice in order to get the fish to the water. The return trip of this party was even worse than the ascent, as the sun was fast softening the snow, making it extremely dangerous near any treetop or log lying near the surface; however, beyond a few falls with the animals (and a few without them) the trip was made without incident.

The day following the return of the two parties to Woodcock Meadow was spent in catching more fish, which on the way home were put in Eshom Creek. The entire trip occupied a week and five streams that had never before had fish, in them will furnish sport for some one in a few years. Of the whole number caught by the party only five died and the rest were all planted in the water, not one being eaten, as one of the party said, "they are too hard to catch to be tit to eat." Other members of the Visalia Sportsman's Club, of which Mr. Weaver is president, and Mr. Ellis vice-president, intend during the summer to make like trips and keep it up until every accessible stream is stocked witn trout.

It is hoped that more bass can be procured from the Fish Commissioners, as there are many beautiful lakes all through the mountains where it is thought the bass will furnish, better sport than trout. At the regular monthly medal shoot of the San Joaquin Valley Gun Club, held at Goshen June 2, the following scores were made: Class Fox and Shiell each scored 18 out of 20, and in the slioot-off Fox won with 23 out of 25. Class E. E. McVeagh scored 17, "Sensabry" 17, G.

Lovelace 17, A. Lovelace 17, Rice 16, Bishop 16, Gilmer 14 out of 20; A. Lovelace won in the shoot-off. Class 17, Wild 12, W. McVeagh 11, Dickey 10.

The Visalia Lawn Tennis Club's present organization was started in 1893 with a membership of thirty, including several ladies, one of whom is the best lady player in the valley. The present officers are: James E. Combs, president; L. C. Hyde, secretary and treasurer.

The regular business meeting of the club is held on the first Monday evening of each month. The club has two ground courts, inclosed by a 10-foot netting, which are in fine condition. The courts are located in the central part of the town. The club has come out victorious in every contest with neighboring clubs. There is in contemplation a clubhouse and asphalt courts.

Plans have been drawn for the clubhouse of four rooms. The club belongs to the San Joaquin Valley Lawn Tennis Association.

SACRAMENTO, June 7. The long-talked-of century run of the Sacramento Athletic Club Wheelmen was made last Sunday and was greatly enjoyed by all the participants. At 4 o'clock a. m. the followingr-named members left the clubrooms: Captain Readman, Lieutenant Atwood, Messrs.

Hubert, Elliott, Wood, Beaur, Neagle and Young. The day was all that could be desired and the roads were in excellent condition, although a trine Qusty in spots. The first stop of ten minutes was made at Whiterock, twenty-five miles from the city limits. At Clarksville a brief rest was indulged in, and the club attempted the ride up what is known as the Clarksville hill, a rough stony climb of over a mile, and after accomplishing three-quarters of the distance Captain Readman, who was in the lead, swung out of the saddle and finished on foot. Hubert, who was next in line, rode it out.

From the top of the hill a hard ride was made to Placerville, miles from the starting point. Readman making the finish in 4 hours 17 with Hubert second in 4 hours 27 Atwood third in 4 hours 37 mm. They were met at this point by a delegation of the club. This party was commanded by Second Lieutenant McDonald, and included Miss Bennett, Wright and Dr. Shaw, all enthusiastic members of the club.

After a stop of 1 honr and 27 minutes for the laggards having come up in the meantime the entire party left for Coloma. After a brief halt the run was continued to Auburn, and Hubert, who had taken the lead, arrived at 2:45. Readman, Atwood and Shaw came in thirty minutes later. A stop of 1 hour and 30 minutes was taken for dinner, and the club pulled out of Auburn at 4:15 for Newcastle. Leaving at 5:05 o'clock p.

the run to this city was made without a stop, Captain Keadman, First Lieutenant Atwood and W. Hubert arriving at the clubhouse at 7 :45, making the run of miles, including stops, which consumed hours, at an average of 10 miles an hour riding time. The other members of the club arrived in the city at 9:45 p. just two hours later. The route was through the towns of Brighton, Perkins, Hangtown Crossing, Whiterock, Clarksville, Shingle Springs, El Dorado, Placerville, Coloma, Pilot Hill, North Fork, Auburn, Newcastle, Loomis, Rocklin, Koseville and Antelope.

At Placerville a large number of the meet threw up the sponge and returned home from that place. The Spoonbill Gun Club will gather at the traps to-morrow for their sixth prize contest of the season. There is only one more shoot to take place, and members are anxious to bring up their averages, so that good scores may be looked for. A letter from W. S.

Rowlison, one of Truckee's crack fishermen, states that the fish are taking the baited hook in good shape at Dormer Lake, but that the river is altogether too high for good fishing. It is claimed that vandals are slaughtering trout in large quantities in Dormer Creek by the use of dynamite, and it is rumored that Fish Commissioner Morrison intends to institute vigorous proceedings to put an instant stop to the extreme violation of the law and to punish the perpetrators. Clarence Waterhouse accompanied by a party comprising Miss Burns, Miss Evans and others will leave next week for Camp McCloud, on the McCloud River, where they will institute a campaign against fish and game. Mrs. George McCalvey, wife of Assistant Secretary of State, will pass the summer in company with her daughters and maid at the Dassenville cottage on Dormer Lake.

The lady is an expert with rod and gun and an enthusiastic mountaineer. Two summers ago she accompanied her husband on a two months' outing in the mountains of the Coast Range. They packed their camp outfit on burro 9 and roughed it. Rutuerfobd. On the Diamond.

HYMN THEN WON CANTERING. The Ring Hit Hard Over the Win of Veragua, Heavily Backed by His Owner. "Sport" McAllister appears to have regained his old form and will take some beating from now on. Starter John Merrell was in very good form yesterday, his starts with one exception being excellent. Mr.

Macdonough again gave the books a hard rap ever Veragua's win. He is accredited with taking £3500 out of the ring by the victory of the sturdy-looking son of Sinfax. The number of uookmakers weighing in was diminished by one yesterday, Nick Hall being the retiring member. Nick says some of the star plays of late were too gay for him, and thought a vacation might be beneficial. Henry Walsh, the veteran trainer, is said to be hovering in the shadow of the valley of death at his home in this City.

Mr. Walsh, has been In ill health of late, has suffered several severe strokes of paralysis, and his death is considered but a question of time. It is to be regretted that Quirt did not fall into the hands of a less hard task-master, for the honest Joe Hooker mare is deserving of much better treatment than she has received. Game, honest and persistent she is beginning at last to show signs of her long and hard campaign, and sooner or later her shortsighted owner will find himself with a broken-down racer on his hands, and he will be deserving of no sympathy. The usual card of five events was run off yesterday before a fair-sized crowd without noteworthy incident other than the breaking down of Rey Alfonso in the six-furlong handicap, after going to the post an oddson favorite.

The Prince of Norfolk's speedy son, under very favorable conditions, with but 109 pounds up, opened in the betting at 9 to 10, quickly being backed to 7 to 10. Mount Air and Howard were backed down a point from their opening quotation, but Hymn, who ran disappointingly on Thursday, receded in the books. Quirt once was practically friendless, going to the post 10 to 1. With little delay the flag sent them away to a splendid start, Rey Alfonso immediately going out in front at a ruerry clip, followed by Quirt and Mt. Air.

He maintained his lead until well around the far turn, where he suddenly began falling back and was never after a factor in the race. Howard headed the field in the stretch, with Mt. Air and Quirt at his heels. The hot clip set by the favorite had evidently told on them, for when Weber called on Hymn he passed them as if they were telegraph poles and won eased up a length from Howard. Mt.

Air was an ordinary. Rev Alfonso finished last, and when Chevalier pulled up his defeat was easily explained for the crack sprinter was so lame that it was with difficulty he hobbled off the track, through the upper gate, not being asked to return to the judges' stand. Old Rinfax was a pronounced favorite for the opening dash of five and a half furlongs, going to the post 2 to 1, but after leading to the stretch died away, finishing unplaced. Tillie with 7to 2 against her, won easily, three lengths in front of Remus. Imp.

Grand Lady was a good third, half a length away. Zeta, a True Briton filly, from the stable of Burns Waterhouse, was an 8 to 5 favorite for the two-year-old event, a four and a half furlong spin, but Shaw, on Veragua, backed from sixes down to 7 to 2, beat the flag a couple of lengths and beat the favorite out a length in a drive. Leon finished an ordinary third. The bookies apparently did not hold the riding ability of C. Russell, who had the mount on speedy Sport McAllister in the fourth race, a five-furlong dash, and never grew weary laying; 9 to 10 against him.

Norlee and Halifax; carried the balance of the money played on the race. The judges warned Russell to ride to win, and Sport simply toyed with his field, winning hands down. Addie a 12 to 1 chance, finished in the place, a head in front of Regal. At his old game, up and down the hills, Morven, with 3 to 5 against him, proved a howling success in the last race of the day at five and a half furlongs, for Charley Weber got him away in front and he won buck jumping. After a drive Johnny 'Weber got Joe Cotton home a short head in front of Tom Clarke.

Whitaker, secretary Vallejo Driving Park Association, Vallejo, Cal. ANGLERS' AFTERMATH. The Difference Between Wise and Foolish Fishers of Trout. Noisily along the bed of the stream the incautious and untutored fisherman splashes, crushing down a shelving gravelbank here and there upsetting a bowlder, and withal in the foolish expectancy of catching trout. Not to his creel shall the veteran of the pool come.

He has heard his boisterous approach long since, and is under the willow shaking his fat sides in laughter at the bunch of feathers that slips by his the line, the rod and the man behind them all. Not so the fingerling. That giddy youngster skips up and takes the fly just for exercise, and is dragged by the gills to the basket of this Herod of the hook, this murderer of the innocents. He passes on still boisterously wading the brook, and he leaves behind him the stillful angler's aftermath. Peering' cautiously throueh the bushes, stepping lightly on the telitale gravel and gently pushing the rotten branch aside, this other type of fisherman advances.

He has seen the pool just a glimpse of it, that's all, but enough to give him an idea of how much line it will take to land his cast under that fringe of willows and where his back cast is mpst likely to land. By this time the fat trout, still amused by the frolics of the splasher, swims into the center of the pool and takes a keen glance all around. That stone chat has moved his position to a rock farther down stream, half a dozen blackbirds are bathing in the shallows, a cow is cooling her heated sides in the long reach above the alders. These things the lish perceive, but there is nothing to be alarmed at. A caddis floats along.

The trout nips him and beeins to think that he has an appetite. "What fools those fingerlings are, to be sure," and again bis dorsal fin shakes with mirth. "Why could not that giddy, little whipper-snapper wait until all was quiet and serene before feeding? Why could not he do as his elders do? Hallo, what is this? A red spinner and a coachman coming gently down this way on the ripple. I have a mouth on me for spinners this morning," and the jaws close upon the natty lure. Then there is a rush and a plunge as the foe discloses himself.

Now a dash for the snag at the bottom of the pool, again a bold break for the clump of weeds, but all in vain. In the indifferent presence of kine and stone chat and blackbirds the overconfident trout lies exhausted on the gravel. A young bird is about to fly, out the chaperon of the party says: "Don't be alarmed, ladies, the man has not a gun with him. I'm real sorry for that trout. I had struck a sort of acquaintance with him on those bathing excursions and he used to bow to me quite pleasantly.

But I have always suspected that he was a greedy fellow." Later in the day, when the wise and foolish angler meet farther down the stream, the latter is stricken with astonishment at the other's success, and wonders how it was that big fish escaped him. Even in the streams within a few hours of the City are pools where there is abundant aftermath for the careful angler. In Fairfax Creek, where the picnickers fling their sardine boxes, and where orange peelings are as thick as leaves in Vallomorosa, good fish are caught late in the season. In the Ross Valley Creek a few fat fellows will abide under the tangle, where they feel perfectly secure. The Paper-mili stream, which is always the first to come under the ban of "fished out," continues to yield good fish up to the winter rains to those who work the pools with skill and caution.

While a large number, certainly the majority, of the big lish of the coast streams go to sea, there is always a contineent which hangs back until it becomes literally land-locked. A trout, like a cat, has undoubtedly an affection for certain localities. A deep, snug pool, with plenty of shade, a hollow bank to lie under, a group of rocks in the center to scratch against, and an unlimited supply of insects, are hard to resign for the great ocean, with its seals and salmon and other ferocious things whose creed is that might is right. One day this week a five-pound steelhead was taken in a pool known as "the well," in the Mill Valley stream. The fish had incautiously come out for a swim in the shallows, when the small boy with the club perceived him and knocked him on the head.

In Giolis Lagoon, near Point Bonita, there were a number 6f big fish this year until the ranchers cut through the sandbank that divided it from the ocean and they all escaped while the men were at dinner. In the big slough that comes in at Tamalpais there are always steelhead, which sometimes bite with "avidity, and again seem indifferent to all and any kind of attraction. The huge stingaree also sails around in floodtide and creates havoc among anglers. A whirr, a rush for the set rod, and away the ravenous beast goes with the entire cast in his maw. An attempt to check him is as futile as trying to pull on the rear end of a moving locomotive.

Out goes the line to the last Eot, then a snap, and the stingaree, possily witli the consciousness only of having been bitten by some insect, is buffeting the waves off Ban Qneutin shore or shoveling in a colony of clams, shells and all, that have peeped out of the mud to see what time of day it was. Once this marauder of the slough, came to grief. He was at his old tricks walking off with tishing tackle, when a man on the bank sent a spear clear through him. The handle was weighted with lead and flung the bis; fish on its sides, when it fought like the devil that it is. But the battle was a short one, and when it was towed to the mud hank, dying, no iess than five casts were found ip its intestines, showing that it had for months been the stanch friend of the dealers in these articles Dan O'Con'nell.
