Hatcheries Are Placed.
Callundan and Tunstead Have a Hot Ex-
change If Words-Billy Mccarthy in
New York-Wrestlers Coming.

Commissioner Woodbury.. VINO has charge of
the State fish hatcheres, states that lie has
shipped several thousand trout eyed-eggs from
Shovel Greek and Sisson hatcberes this season
TO gentlemen who applied for the eggs for The
purpose of stocking streams and private ponds
10 the vicinity OF San francisco. Yester-
day 10000 trout eyed-eggs from the Sis
son Hatchery we're placed in the San Rafael
Water Works lake, which Is a preserve.
And the 10000 eggs, according TO Mr.. Wood
berTy's statement. were TO have been placed In
The stream which is the headquarters OF the La
gunitas Creek. This stream has long since been
depleted of its finny tribe and the stocking of
the waters with the spawn of the gamey rainbow
trout will add materially IN few years TO the
sport which the city anglers have been awaiting
Tor some years.
Alex Badlam has had large number Of eggs
consigned to his care which, 1t Is said have been
placed in miniature hatchery at ST. Helena and
the young fry deposited In the streams OF the
vicinity.
Other consignments of eggs and young fish have
been received by DIR. Knowles for the purpose
OF stocking the Los Gatos Creek in Santa Clara
County. Report says that the fry will first be
deposited in a private pond adjoining the doc
tors residence at Alama. and when they be-
against depredating fishes they VIII be trans
Tered 10 the main creek, which Is In much need
of restocking.
Several thousand trout eggs have also been
sent from Ssson's TO Mr.. Schoenwad OF
Monterey Owing to inexperienced handling
several OF the fish succumOed 10 the excessive
heat OF the waters of Del Monte. The later ship
mentS, however, proved more successful ana the
anglers who reside In Monterey County antlc-
pate good results from the streams winch nave
been stocked This summer.
The hatchery at Glen Ellen has been extern
sveIy supplied with eggs from Shovel Creek and
1t is hoped 10y The anglers who visit the Sonoma
Creek that better results will be had during the
angling seasons of the tutuie than In those OF
the past few years.
WHAT SHOULD BE.
The SOnOma Creek should be teemiDg with
young fishes next season, that is, provided the
hatchery at Glen Ellen which has received d
veIy large consignment OF eyed-trout eggs TINS
season, Will furnish the stream with It's quota OF
young fish.
As stated before. the majority OF the shipments
made from the Shovel Creek and Slsson hatch
who applied to the Fish and Game
Commissioners for the eyed.trout eggs. Whether
these eggs were intended for the stocking of
private or public streams is matter for debate.
The law on The question is quite plain, however,
and states that the hatcherieS supported by the
States funds are 10 be employed only for The
purpose OF stocking the public waters OF tue
State.

MYSTERIOUS STEAM YACHT.
The story comes from Philadelphia that
Messrs. Neahe s. Levy, the ship-builders, have
received the contract to build the most magnih-
cent steel steam yacht aflOat for some unknown
parsonage who is at present Inclined 10 keep his
Identity in the bacr ground. The craft Is TO be
2l5 feet on the load water-lDe, with powerful
engines of the most modern type. j. Beaver
Webb is her designer, but he also Is pledged TO
secrecy, and IL he were put on the rack he would
not divulge the name OF the mystic capitalist
who is willing to spend 100000 on his yacht.
The builders say they are quite IN the dark as to
her owner, but that a well-knOwn firm of bankers
Will make payments as the work progresses. In
the Quaker City The sentiment alOugshore is that
some foreign capitalist desires to have very
fast yacht built aud has gone TO the right place
for it.

unanimous in saying that had the track been
covered the distance in 40 sec.
