The races at Jose last Sunday proved fully as Interesting as was anticipated. There was a btp crowd of spectators, that tilled lie piand "lauds and overflowed ODto the track, which was the cause of one bad accident. management otherwise was perfect, the offlare BICYCLING COSTJMKS. clals were well up in their duties, and alto- Eeiuer it was a race meet worthy of Ihe sport. The festivities preceding tlie race meet the day before were the means of several good men falling by Hip wayMde.

Captain Kitchen of the Acme Club had mteiided ilding in the handicap events in as also did Day aud (ioddard of the Bay City heelnun, and several other good class A men. I'Ut they found the too much for them aud went back on their naming. As it was ver, ihe class A races wpie accoiaea much attention fully as the vente, although the llders latter class weieweii applauded on Uietr first appeaiance on tht tiaok, owing more to their being better known than to being more favorably considered as racers Charles Wells was the surprise of the day. He had arrived from the East the day befoie the races, and had had no training for (wo weeks. He was obliged to work somewhat to win bis heat th the half-mile handicap, class but still be was very end -tit the superior of Ills com iei i tors in spite of Ills lack training.

He did not ride iv the final, tiut said he fit confideut he could have wnu it. As it was, however. Rlarter Weiinore stalled the race without him, as Wells was somewhat slow In coming nut of hi- tent when the event called, and th- arier would not keep the others waiting, In which he was justified. P.ob Ten ill dia not do as well as it was thought lie would. He won his heat In the oneii tie uaudlcap, class li, but was very evidently not Iv good condition.

There was a treat deal of enthusiasm manifested by the membeis of different clubs, sealed in bodies iv i lie gi and stand, as their particular favorite won, and as the were about equally divided, every one came away satisfied.

The race-uiret committee was appointed last week, and is as follows: P. Fuller, Beovern, F. Montealegn li. Ituss, J.

Me(ilynu, J. Mullen, o. B. Burns, H. C.

Uaiio, ii. Siiation and A. C. ihornion. Mr.

luiler was elected ebali man of the committee and Mr. Scovern -ecietaiy. It was decided to schedule the following cv. uts to be contested on mat day: One mile novice; half a mile scratch, one mile Handicap, Class one mile handicap, class half a mile scratch, class two mile handicap, class B. This is au even division of the two classes, aud as the club will hanir up au exceptionally valuable list of prizes me entries win no doubt nsauy.

It is also pioposed to cieate a special one-mile class A and a one-mie class scratch race on the day the events are run, the prizes to be nwaided only if the coast recuiu for the distance is lowered either cUss. All trial heats of me laces will he inn the morning of the day the races are io be iun, and finals in the afimuoon. 1 his is the method pursued In tbe East, and aliliouuh It has never been tried here before it will be found the oiost desirable way of conducting a meet, as ilie spectators tire of tiie sport wlieu obliged to sit and watch some twenty odd trial (teats run, as was the case at San Jose on Admission day. Toe O. C.

W. also promise Home other innovations in the way of running meets which will open the of evclists to new Ideas In cycle racing, so they say. so that their meet is awaited with considerable anticipation, and Is i lie principal topic of conversation In wh ehnc circles a 1 present. The Bay Cltv Wheelmen are thinking of hold- Ing another (electric-light tournament on their track at Central lark, some time in October. Their last venture of this kind wan not very successful, bur It was poorly managed, which may account for its failure.

The (ia'den Ci Cyclers recently held a race meet under electric light and was very successful, god the Bay Cl'-ys. who pioneered the idea a year aeo, now anxious to lake it up again, as they firmly believe It can be made a success. The Reliance Athletic Club of Oakland also had the under discussion, but while they have excellent facilities for giving races on tuelr Alameda track, they usually depend upon San Francisco for their audi-nces, and the trip acioss the bay at night might deter the majority from attending, unless they oil red a particularly luteiesting programme. '10-daythe Acme Athletic Ciub of Oakland holds a ten-mile club load iace over the straigbS away coarse from t-nmvain to Baywards. The club has some of the best track and loadriders in Siatr, an-J in the latter branch of the sport they are particularly at home, tbat it would pot be such a great surprise if they made particularly good time.

Captain John Kitoheu Jr. is now in charge of Ihe Acme Wheelmen, and has provd himself the rigbl man the light place. He is very poiular with the riders, will no doubt serve out hi.t leim with credit to himself and bis ciui). The Keliance Club made a particularly credit! able showing iv the annual parade of ihe Call' fornia Assoel iteil Cycling Clubs, held In San Jose on Admission and was well entitled to leceive lie piize offered 10 the club present; ing the best appeaiance.

A Season That Has Been Productive of Good Results. The angling season of '04 is rapidly drawing to a close. On the Ist of November the loveis of the rod must reluctantly lake a lan glance Ha rings aim wish the little whip which has afforded so much genuine pleasme during the dry season a good winter's rest. Cotnpaied w.iii Hie gun Hie rud is uiueh less THE WRONG POSITION, AS DEPICTED IN AN ENGLISH JOURNAL expensive, and it is a mooted question whicii affords the better sport. The man who ancles and shoots is frequently puzzled to answer the question which sport he loves best, angling or shooting; but as the years pass along.

and the sportsman ana angler feels the hand of time tightening on his marrow-bones, he gradually yet reluctantly forsakes the fowlingniece and clings more tenaciously than ever to the bamboo stick, Hie "swish" of which during his declining mi miners will, with the iiccompaiiiiiient of the Mlvi-ied reel, serenade him during the many happy hours lhar lie can spare to wander in Hilent pleasure along the banks of a favorite stream. Anglers cannot very well deny the fact that the season, now on Its last legs, has been productive of grand sport. Lake has unquestionably been excellent, and if the future, seasons only cotnpar- with the present the thorough disciples of fly-casting can congratulate themselves uoon being so near the waters which afford Midi grand and inexpensive sport during four months of the year. The streams within close reach of local angiers give very good results during the lirst few months of the open season, but beuiu so easy or access they are fished out. so to speak, before the "youngsters" have had time to cut their wisdom teeth.

It has been suggested that the State Sportsnion Association use Its best endeavor at the next meeting of the Legislature to have, the angling sa-on for trout closed until -May 1. It the question or stopping the capture of trout until May of each year was put to a general vote, there are. Indeed, few anglers who would oppose it. Thousands or little tlnget lines are taken from streams iv April, which trout if allowed Ui'lr liberty for another month would be large enough to make nice pan fish. This qiiestlou is certainly worthy of the consideration of all true uugii in July the fraternity whose heart leaps at thesouud of dashing waters and whose eyes sparkle at the sight of a beautiful mountain such as the Truckee and the headwaters of the far-famed Sacramento become anxious for an outing and perhaps a Rood w-ttinc, but wnat of that? An angler who has Inherited a love for fly flshloe cares no more for 1 pood duckinu tnau does a boy who plays truant from school.

"Each year sees a great Increase In tie number of anglers and clubs in London, and the sport ot li-litim was never more popular. It is estimated that their are nine 10.000 club angleis wltliiu the metropolis, and the clubs now number nvti 230.

A subscription Is id ouly a year is charged, but this would be totally inadequate to meet ihe calls on the fund were it not for the aid of smoking concerts, collecting boxes, etc.

The University Kickers Commence Training for the Great Game. Hard work Is ou in earnest at Stanford University both in the various college departments and on the "jjildiron" and track.

It was not anticipated by the footbill men that a very larce number of players would appear during tne week or so, and such anticipation would Lave beeu disappointed were it tn.ertalnea. Last year, after work had been going on for Dearly three weeks, tliere was ditnculty in getting a sufficient number of men lined Dp to form two good elevens, aud this was one ereal obstacle to a proper practice and exercise of the men. It would that ihe energetic mm who Is to captain the Stanford team this year doesn't intend to allow any such Bind ranee to stand in the of victory over ihe liei keleyans, as ofleied such inte rfeience to that coveted result In die last iotereohegl tie game. Each evening Captain Downing has had out all available in aud for nearly two nours there has been practice, "kicking" and falling on the ball, after which a run from halt a to a mile Is ordered, and then to meir rooms. A bath closes the afternoon's work.

Last evenini; for the first lime two elevens lined up, and the fiist practice name took place. couldn't be called game either, for the second eli-veu wasn't in It rveu enough to the first el yen work.

This system was highly benelieul to the team last year, which was opposed by a second eleveu so vigorously in every game that up to the last few weeks before the big college test it was often a question us to which was the belter. Stanford Is not cast down over the loss of several of her veteran football men, of whom four will not to try lor places In this year's team.

The Australian Waterloo Cup and the Coming Merced Meeting.

The Australian Waterloo cup, which until lately attracted as much attention as Its namesake in England amoug the leashmt- of the antipodes, came off in the inclosed grounds of the Victorian Coursing Club, near Melbourne, In July last. The hard times which came on the colonies some two or three years ago, and still continue, have evidently affected mostly all the Eieat sporting events of Tne Melbourne cup, for instance, which for years was worth £10,000 to i He winner, lias this year been reduced one-halt, and ny of the other stakes in like proper tlon no wonder that the leashmen had to reduce the entry-money for the great Waterloo meeting from £25 in '92, and on the very last occasion befoie the Make could be till the entry-money had 10 be brought down to £3 (about The Mak this year was apaln won by S.

This is a glorious ending (or the seasou. The only thing to be regretted is that the winter winds ye arrived and there Is no tellinu what to prepare lor. as they are liable to have a tale and a drifting match In the one race. The Oakland Canoe Club has come to life again and made a veiy good showing on Admission day, carrying out a most creditable programme, it is the only organization of Us Ina on this bay, and tlit-re no reason why, If run properly and mven some good active work on the part of the present members, It should not have a list or active members as lame as it did some years ago.

The holidays were not spent very satisfactorily by i lie yachtsmen as most, of their sailing was done by jayhawkhiK. At ihe annual meeting of the San Francisco Yacht Club a committee was appointed to revise the constitution of the club, so that a printed copy conic! be placed iv the hands of cacti member.

This would be unpleasant it any serious question should arise which called tor then use. hcie has been a rumor quietly going around to the effect that a movement will be started at the next annual meeting to enlarge the clubhouse, something in the style of our Eastern bietiiren. 'I he idea is to have a clubhouse at winch it will be possible for the members to haw rooms where they can live dining me summer months. The ground floor is to be given nil to the storage of small boats and duffle, with lockcis for the members The second story will contain a large hall, leading, smoking, ladies' and gentlemen's rooms, and also the dining ball.

The thiid story will be given to apartments for the of the members. If this is carried on it ought to make it the most; popular club on the bay. To-day the Francisco Yacht Club has a cruise to Martinez. The Corinthians will go to California City, while the Californlas have a cruise to Goat Island aud around the bay In squ With the Kncioais it will be an open day, and the members will be at leisure to go where they Will.

The general opinion among: Eastern experts is that lie captained by S. l'attei sou. will win biitp matches against th Britishers. It is certainly a stronger team than that which defeated the trnns-A laniic visitors In '92. Whatever may be in store one can safely prophesy some big scoring, excellent play and unbounded excitement.
