Good Reasons Why McAuliffe Should
Whip SIavin.


Good Reasons Why McAulife Should
Whip SInvin-
According to the records of the men and
their physical proportions, Joe MeAuiffe
should be equal to the task of punching
Slssin to sleep in less than four rounds.
The Australian heavyweight fought
draw with Costello, ''The Buffalo," and
afterward failed ANONYMOUSLY to stop the
American in six rounds. Slavin was out
classed very much indeed when he assayed
to down Peter jackson. he is now going
to meet a giant, who has made wonderful
improyement since his defeat by the eOlored
champion of the Antp0des; and if the
members of the club under whose manage
meDt the fight will be decided Will see that
fair play is accorded to both, the Cali
furnian should certainly leave the ring with
flying colors. OF course Slavin, II defeated,
will challenge McAullne 10 n6nt unuer
London rules.
''Pendragon" of the London Referee Is
evidently very much preJudiced against
American pugilists. He does not think
much of Dlxon's achievement over the En-
glsh champion Wallace. He thinks Jim
Carney can make chopping block OF Jack
McAullffe or Jimmy Carroll, and Is positive
that Charley Mitchell can whip Joe Nc
Aullffe or John l.. Sullivan under favora-
bic conditions; in fact the American pugl-
lists are in the estimation Of Mr.. 'Pen-
dragon" not in it when they meet the En-
gish lads on English soil.
Dixon has proven himself to be game
and scientific fighter, and man who can
use both hands equally well. He had COM
paratively an easy mark in Wallace, and
probably used but one hand to bring the
Englishman 10 his terms In other words,
he did not let himself out to win Pelican
Club purse, still Mr.. up, !" the English au-
thority on ''pugism," says that Dixon is not
a two-handed fighter. In g recent edition

Angling for Salmon in Winter - Tun-
stead's Charges.
There is some talk OF proposed change
in the laws which protect fish duling GER
tain prescribed months Of the year. Some
authorities on matter pertaining to fish ard
salmon in particular, contend that tie law
should so read that salm0n-a fish which
few individuals who profess to be experts
in pisciculture call salmon trout-must
not be taken with rod and line during
season in which IL is unlawful to catch
trout.
Its a:welLknown fact that there are sew
eral species of salmon on this coast; the
large fish ascend the deep rivers, as for in
stance the Sacramento, during the winter
months, while the smaller species work
their way from the bays into the small
streams or glens, which run almost dry In
the months prior to the rainy season. These
latter fish receive the name OF salmon trout
by fish ranchers, who profess TO be author
tiles on all subjects pertaining to the
salmon. (salmo-salmonis) and its character
istics.
Although these individuals who fancy
themselves standard authorities on all
matters pertaining to this species OF
anadromous fishes, would have a law passed
TO suit their especial fancies, none Of them
understand the first rudiments of angling.
The salmon and trout vary considerably
in their habits and characteristics. The
former visits the fresh OF sweet water at
period of the year only when 1t is in a state
Of pregnancy. After depositing its spawn
il gradually drops down with the current
until it reaches its natural element, the salt
water.
The trout is native son, so to speak, Of
the mountain streams. 1t never enters the
salt water, although many trout have been
caught in the mixed waters where the tide
meets and mingles wi tn the fresh.
There are many of the small rivers In the
near counties to San Francisco which are
visited in the winter months by smal-sized
salmon. AS previously stated these nsh
cannot be taken with rod and line when the
trout season opens, for the reason that they
are not to be found in the fresh water IN
the month of April, consequently the
anglers who enjoy the sport OF catching
them in an honorable, sportsmanlike way
rebel against the proposed law, which. If
passed, will abolish pastime that is very
much enjoyed by fraternity of gentlemen
who angle for the pure love Of the sport
The anglers do not dispute the statement
made by pisieulturists-a class Of men who
are engaged in raising FISH with this aim OF
supplying the San francisco markets-that

The Coming Champion Tournament at
San Rafael.
The Pacific States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton is making great preparations for the
championship tennis tournament, which
will be held on tie grounds OF the Hotel
Rafael at San Rafael on September 8th
and 9th. The programme will consist of
ladies' single championship and an open
double championship. Games will be
played under the rules OF the National
Lawn Tennis Association. The entrance
fee will be 81 for the doubles; no entrance
will be charged the ladies. Entries close
September 9th.
Fred Gift, although he seldom partici--
pates in the game, is passionately fond of
the sport, especially when the ladies are
contesting.
c. D. Batter Jr and Ben Marx, of Oak
land, give promise Of becoming very expert
at tennis.
Charles S. Melvin, A. A. Dewing and c.
A. Culver practice daily.
George II. Manson has retired from ten
mis- temporarily to assist his political
party in the coming fight.
The Lakeside Club is in dormant con-
dition, and new life is needed to enthuse
the members who are affected with a
don t-care'' feeling for practice.
Tennis is very quiet at Del Monte this
year. San Rafael is claiming the attention
of the players
strong team, and contest between them
and the expert players. Yates and Taylor,
would be we'll worth witnessing.
Frank Griffin is rapidly coming forward
as player of note, and will soon be among
the leaders.
If Arthur Goodall returns from Europe
in time for the championship he will join
Mr.. Wheaton in the contest for doubles.
The leading players In Great Britain and
Ireland are: Mrs. Hillyard, Ayres, End,
Harpenden Herts; Miss Lottie bod, Edg-
worth, Bennington, Cheshire; Miss Jacks
and Miss Quincy, London Athletic Club,
Chelsea; Mrs. Watts and Miss Neon, Lei
cester; Mrs. Hill. Cheltenham; Miss Il.
Wood, Ackworth, Yorkshire; Miss l.. Mar
tin, Miss l.. Rice and Miss Butler, Fltz-
williem Square Club, Dublin.
Matches between ladies and gentlemen
are of rare occurrence, but two or three
memorable instances are recorded. Miss
Maud Watson defeated w. Renshaw at
Manchester In 1885, Mr. Renshaw giving
her half-40. In 1883 Mr.. E. Renshaw met
Miss l.. bod at difference of 80 and after
a good fight, succeeded in winning by two
sets to one. In the same year E. Renshaw
again did battle with the fair sex, this time
with Mrs. Hillyard, at Penarth. He gave
his antagonist half, 40, and only won after
a sharp contest-0-6, 60. 81.
The question as 10 whether spiked shoes
injure grass courts, or not, often comes up.
GT0undsmen generally object to the spikes
which they say rip and tear the sod TO an
alarming extent. Still the turf courts at

not show much wear after the U. ). doubles
had been played ON them and fully two

coored foule cloth, lined throughout
with old rose surah and made in
loose plain style with a shoulder
yoke of white and gold Oriental cloth and
a fligree clasp at the throat. A rose
colored dress which seemed to betray quite
plainly the renewed influence OF the
fashions of the third empire, was trimmed
about the bottom Of the skirt, waist, neck
and sleeves with rows OF narrow white
satin ribbon passed through little en-
broidered rings. The accompanying hat
was of white lace straw, covered with
roses charming white dress had bodice
and petticoat oil white MORE, with vest
of pale yellow lisse, the skirt lightly draped
with white yelling, finished with gold
pretty crepe de chimes, one Of gray en-
broidered in gray and silver and having
large, pulled sleeves of gray chiffon over
gray silk; another of pale yellow, over
which fell deep flounce of gold-threaded
guipure, and third of pale blue, sprlnkled
with coWslips tied in small pompadour
bouquets.
Two or three matinees were of elaborate
construction. One was OF delicate lilac
silk with design in tiny white morning
glories running all over it and edged with
q two-inch purple velvet ribbon all around.
The dainty little corsage was formed of al
ternate rows of white Swiss embroidery
and muslin, and was confined by purple vel
vet ribbons tying at the waist and falling
to the ground. POppy-red fOulard, pow-
dered with black flowers and set off by
black ribbons, and a lowered muslin plen-
tifully trimmed with lace made morning
toilets fresh-looking in the extreme.
A couple Of handsome evening gowns de-
serve respectful mention. The one was Of
j0nQuil-colored lampas, brocaded with flow
ers in raised gold. The corsage and the
train were entirely OF this regal material,
the train having border at the edge,
where the same flowers that appeared in
the breadths were massed in still greater
sumptuousness. In front the pettcoat was
draped with white tulle caught up on the
sides with sprays of golden wheat ears
tied with pale pink and cream ribbons.
The low corsage was trimmed lavishly with
gold braid embroidered with real pearls,
the short sleeves being of tulle finished
with wheat-ears on the shoulders The
other evening dress was of bos de rose

clasps of silver set with diamonds.

TIJONDON, Aug. 6, 1S9O.-It is not wise
tSk to risk ones reputation by venturing
- predictions prematurely, but the SIM
pie fashions we have had for the past sea-
son or two are running into such eccen-
tricities as bode change. AT Cowes and at
Bath and at Ilfracombe the rosy English
girl has gotten past the "Will it wash?" of
Mrs. Siddons and the "Will it wear?" of
Mrs. Primrose, and asks "Will it paint"
first, last and all the time, with the natural
result that she and her companions-such
of them as are not dyed-in-the-wool tailor
girls-go about looking like lot of CO.'S
tuned models, somewhat, no doubt, to the
satisfaction of the artists, but more or less
to the distress of those levelheaded indi-
viduals who maintain that because thing
is beautiful in picture it does not neces-
sarily follow that it is beautiful out of one.

Racing at Newark The Interstate
Meet.
A large number of sports, whose principal
amusement is coursing, will assemble to-
day at the Newark coursing grounds, where
a free-for-all stake will be run off. Tie
grounds are in pretty good condition, and,
as bares are quite plentiful, an interesting
days sport may be expected
The Secretary of the Interstate COursing
Association has received several letters
from the owners of greyhounds in the East,
regarding the great meeting which will be
held at MERGED next September. The pros
poets of some grand racing between the
hounds, which Will represent the East and
West, are very promising, and, at this early
date, flyers who will display their
colors on the far-famed coursing plains,
can be seen jogging behind conveyances
going to or coming from the Ocean Beach.
The committee appointed to collect funds
is meeting with success, and il is thought
that the largest purse ever run for in Amer
lea will be 'hung up" for the open stake
that is, provided sufficient number of en-
tries will be had; otherwise the stake
money will be divided into three parts.

it must awaken in the breast of the forlorn
ex-Empress as she cruises in melancholy
state off the coast of Norway to see the sum-
mer tourist blossoming in little dress orna-
ments that recall constantly the palmy days
of her past and gone reign.
The Princess of Wales has been having
some toilets made in London, the prettiest
of which, as they were shown this morning
by the house filling the order, was almost
the simplest: plain fawn-colored crepe
cloth with narrow panel of brown velvet on
one side, edged with coffee-colored lace.
The long-waisted pointed bodice had sleeves
very full on the top and was trimmed with
lace, carried Znuave fashion, about the arm
holes. There was a high collar of brown
velvet, little bonnet made of single rose
set in folds of fawn-eolor ana brown, and

often are brocaded, shot green and red

employed the ground is covered with lat

ticoats seems unmistakable. Already one
sees occasionally modest crinoline. A
handsome girl who passed me on horseback
out Hampton Court way yesterday morning
had her black habit cut, to all appearance,
over small hoopskrt. It looked odd
enough, you may believe, and carried one
back at once to the flowing skirts and
plumed riding hats of 1867. Some of the
smartest dresses exhibited in the shops
have quite full skirts with trimmings in
festoons. One that / saw few days ago
was of soft gray silk circled with scallops
of silver ball fringe. Other fr0cks have
skirts with garnitures of the same material
cut out in squares or like battlements turned
upside down, after the manner that Leach
used to ridicule in his carieatures when wo-
men last scissored cloth in such senseless
and extravagant fashion and stretched it
over twenty or thirty yards of steel.

Farmers who drilled in their grain
this spring think they have aD advan-
