FISHING. The advent of June found
the trOuting season just at it's commence
ment, while in previous years 1t would
have been fully half spent. The delay
from late high water has only intensified
the feel among anglers, many OF whom are
preparing for longer stay at the streams
they frequent than has been usual. From
all points where fishing has been done re-
ports invariably come that trout are ahund-
ant but are exceptionally shy. This was
to be expected, there being plenty of nat
ural food in the streams, and the fish, being
glutted, require the most tempting lures to
excite them. The accessible area for an
glers this season promises in the Coast
Range to be more extensive than ever be-
fore. Parties report good front fishing
from twenty miles south of Monterey
north along the Guallala river, while the
streams discharging into the bay of San
Francisco are also reported as being well
stocked with trout Good catches are re-
ported on Sulphur creek, near Cioverdals,
and Mark West creek, III Russian River
valley; also at Russian gulch and other
streams north of Duncan's Mills, on
the coast. Paper Mill and Laguintas
creeks, in Marin county, are said
to be well fished out, they having been
overrun with anglers since the opening OF
the season. In the main creeks and tribu-
taries of Sonoma, north Of Mcpherson Hills
Vineyard, there is said to be good fishing.
South OF this city, on the coast side, are
the following creeks: Pilarcetos, near
Spanishtown, and four miles further south
the Purissima, the latter stream unfolding
its ancient trout reputation as one of the
best in the State. The Lobelas and Torni-
bas creeks are very small streams and
easily exhausted the San Gregorio, where
fishing is still affected by discolored water 4;
the Pescadero and Bulaceo creeks, near the
town of Pescadero. Both of these streams
afford fine fishing, very large fish being
often taken in the lower portion of the
latter, which is frequented by salmon trout
grilse at various times in season fresh run
from the sea. South of Pescadero are the
following creeks in the order named, all
enjoying good reputation: Gazos, about
eight miles, Waddel's, about fifteen, and
Scott creek and tributaries, more easily
reached from Santa Cruz. At Santa
Cruz are the San Lorenzo river
and its tributaries, and south the
various streams emptying into the
ocean for distance of twenty-five miles
south OF Monterey. In the northern por-
tions of the State the streams, and es-
pecially those snow fed, are still very high,
but the hot weather will soon reduce them
to their usual summer stage OF water. The
McCloud river will be visited by a great
o,,o1a,s 4bfS fba nv Cf
whom will 90 in July. Pit river and its
reported as atfording unusually great H.
ducements TO anglers, the streams being
more easily accessible, with less hos
weather. The North Fork at Big Meadows,
in Lassen county, and the other head
waters of the Feather river, are all good
trouting streams, but not so easily accessi-
Bile as some others. Along the line OF rail
road at Cisco, in the South Fork OF the
Yuba the Eastern front planted there by
the Fish Commission have increased SO
that good catches can be made. The same
is also true of the tributary at Soda
Springs, twelve miles from Summit Station,
while fifteen miles south of that place the
head waters of the South Fork of the
American river is reached. Still further
west on the line of rail are Independence
and Weber lakes, both good trouting re-
sorts, and also the Truckee river, east of
Reno The Olympian.
A BLUNT MAN.-The Turf, Field and
Farm tells this story: "Connor is the
property of Theodore Winters, blunt
punished, it is safe to assert that his owner
had nothing to say. But if the facts and
tire law did not sustain the decision, we are
prepared to believe that he spoke his mind
freely. Two years ago he entered the
stand at Sacramento, when the judges
were about to do him wrong, and addressed
them somewhat in this fashion Mr..
Brown, you are an excellent authority in
law; Mr. Smith, you are well posted in
politics and, MIR. Jones, you have no gu
perior as farmer, but what in Christ's
name do either OF you know about racing
law?" Then he turned upon his heel and
lett the stand before the judges GOULD utter
a single word. The rules were more care
fully examined, and when Dir. Winters
was found to be in the right his petulance
and his bluntness were overlooked. The
turf has no better friend on the Pacific
coast than himself"
RUNNING. - correspondent writing
from Lodi, San Joaquin county, says :
" My friend P without training) over the
highway and up slight grade, ran 100
yards in II seconds. By proper training
and over level track, could he reduce
the above time; if so, how much?" He
made good speed. The best time on record
is 81 seconds. From this you can Judge as
to whether he can beat ii seconds. We
can pass no Judgment, not knowing the
physical build, condition and capacity of
your friend. If he ia however well-pro-
portioned, strong and healthy man, he
ought to come down to 10 seconds, and it
may be he can equal the best record.
YACHT CLUB The San Francisco Yacht
Club is rapidly growing institution. Its
members now number 1873, and the list is
very constantly increased. The cruises of
the feet, in company, have done much to
foster yachting spirit among the members
and an interest in the Club. The en-
thusiasm of tho Commodore has aroused a
corresponding spirit among the members,
and the Club, instead of running along
slowly, is live organization constantly
improving. -[Olympian.
