ROD AND LINE.


Angling for Salmon and Catching Crabs
ard Catfish.
With the high tides during the week there
has also been a great Improvement in bay
fishing, and those who can fnd contentment
by sitting on the edges of the wharves or in
boats for hours ''yanking" rockcod and
other deniZens Of the deep from their sailed
retreats can lcok for some good sport to-day.
The practical anglers, who do not favor bay
fishing but look upon it as very amateurish
sport, are preparing for the winters run of
salmon, which can be caught in the soUghS
into which the freSh-water streams empty.
Already gamy fish are dispOrting themselves
in the tidal waters of the marshes, waiting
the opportunity of an opening to as end the
creeks, which viii discharge volumes of wa
ter into the channels accessory TO the bay
after a few good rain-StOrmS.
Some very nice fish have been caught re-
Gently in the Petaluma Creek by res dents
of the country. Although there are many
fish in the saltwater slOughS near at land,
anglers, as rule. do not fancy fishing Tor
them on account of the annoyance met with
from catfish and crabs, which strip the
hooks of their bait the moment the line is
cast into the water The first little freShet
will drive both erabbie and cat into the bay,
and then the men who delight in hooking,
playing ana landing the gamy salmon may
hope Tor some good sport III the DracklSh
waters
The following from the Orovlle Register
clearly demonstrates the fact that salmon
caught in the Feather River have begun to
make preparations Tor spawning since the
river has become free of slickens: A large
number of salmon is being caught at the
present time in the Golden Gate Mine. As
the water is pumped down in the deep holes
tremendous large and fine salmon are caught,
and On TuedSay We saw twelve or fifteen
that had been captured that morning. Two
of these were mammoth fellows that would
weigh thirty or forty pounds each 1t is evil
dent that within another year or two the
Feather will be well stocked with these
splendid FISH, as they are already quite plen-
tiful.
John Butler, who had recently such
splendid time fishing ON the Eel River. says
that there is a species of trout III that stream
very much resembling the brook trout Its
average weight is one pound, and more
gamy fish it would be hard to find.
AL Wilson and his travelling companion,
Deliver, caught three nice fish at Point
Reyes last Sunday, the largest of which
weighed 52 pounds.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
A. J. Martin Seated-DiSmiSSals
and Promotions.

A meeting of the Fire Commissioners was
held Yesterday, President Samuel Newman
in the chair.
A. J. Martin presented his appointment
from Governor Waterman to the seat made
vacant by the resignation of D. B. Jackson,
the recently elected Supervisor from the
Second Ward.
On motion of Commissioner Parsons 1t
was ordered that the credentials be read and
placed on file. and that Mr.. Martin be in
yited TO take his seat, subject to the protest
made by II. K. Mann at the time Mr.. jack
son took his seat.
The resignation of Timothy J. Mccarthy.
stoker of Engine Company II, against whom
charges for neglect of duty were pending,
was accepted, the charges having been first
withdrawn. James McQueeny was ap
pointed to the vacancy thus created. Inc
resignation of Patrick O'Neil, hoSeman OF
No. Engine Company, was also accented.
The petition of James Conif that the Com
missioners recommend the Board of Super
visors to pay him $50 for injuries sustained
by him in the discharge of his duties, was
approved, and the Secretary was Instructed
to communicate the recommendation to the
Board OF Supervisors.
The case of Arthur McCracken of the
Chemical Engine Company. charged with
neglect of duty, was called for trial The
delinquent failed TO appear, but on showing
that lie had deserted his VILE and lett the
city the charges were unanimously Sus-
tanned and sentence of dismissal pro-
nounced The vacant position was given to
Extraman James Mccartney.
Regarding the complaint of J. p. Martin.
agent of the Sharon estate. that there are
not sufficient hydrants in the vicinity OF the
Grand and Palace hotels for the preserva-
ton of property, Chief Scannell said that
they are quite sufficient for all practical
purposes, but that in emergencies like that
at the Grand it became necessary to tap the
private water supply belonging to the
Sharon estate. The Chief commended that
this is perfectly proper, as the MIGRANTS con-
nected with this system are erected in the
public thoroughfare.
On the application OF the residents Of
South San Francisco the Chief was author
lied to fit up truck to be placed in that
locality for use in cases of emergency.
The merits of the water-tower we're favor
ably discussed and it was resolved to recon-
mend the purchase of an additional one by

demned the walls of the Wangenhem Block
and that the owners would take them down

Bassett and Morehouse Making a Strong
Fight.

Bnssett and Morehouse Making a Strong
Fight.
Governor-elect Markham is expected to
arrive in San Francisco within the next two
days, and the place-hunters, whose name is
legion, are preparing to make adescent upon
him.
Unable to restrain bis Impotence for that
length of time, G. F. Bassett, who is am
bilious to serve his State as Harbor Com
missioner, has journeyed to Pasadena, and
it is TO be presumed that while there he
will urge his claims for the place. Mr.. Bas-
sett is somewhat of politician himself,
and if he gets left in the scramble for the
places it will not be lis own fault. He is,
in fact ambitious to cut wider swath in
the political affairs of the city, and in the
patronage connected with the Harbor Com
mission he fancies that he sees an oppOrtu-
nifty that is not to be lost without gallant
struggle.
In the meantime influences are at work
that may disrupt his little plans, and throw
the prize to Harry V. Morehouse of Santa
Clara, who is also making his combinations,
and stands little nearer to the new Execu-
tive personally and politically than does the
Secretary of the State Central Committee.

All Ready for the MERGED Deetiug-Good
Weather Assured.
The large number of dogs entered by the
lovers of the leash for the great coursing
meeting at MERGED is proof positive that
general interest is being manifest in the
sport. The forty-eight dog stake which
will be run is the largest that has ever been
known in records of American coursing.
The owners of the fieet-fOoted animals have
taken timely precaution to have their
charges in the best possible condition for
series of grueling courses which they will
certainly have at MERGED, and especially at
this season Of the year when the hares.
which fed on dry fodder, can run for miles
at stretch without feeling unnecessarily
fatigued.
Later in the season, when the rains have
started the young grass, the ab0riglres
of the plains enjoy the luxurious gr0wthS
on rich table lands, and as consequence
their running qualities are hampered by a
growth of fat which is an increase of
extra weight that they can not pack over
the same course. They can now travel with
degree of ease and grace that would as
tonish any of the veteran sportsmen who
have witnessed the final dashes for the
Waterloo cup.
Owing to several ''out of sight" races
which will most assuredly take place, it is
hoped by the representatives of the Inter
state COarsing Association that sportsmen
WHO nave Jugs tuleItu lOT lut cOuLtSiS Will
bring with them good field glasses so that
a good view of the races can be had. 1t
must be remembered that dogs, who, it
would seem, had much the best of the con-
test in the first part of race, may be
beaten,badly when they ran outof sight of the
spectators, appearing but mere speck in
the dim distance.
The result in instances of this kind is thai
the owner and friends of the owner of the
animal, who did excellent work in the be-
ginning of race, make vigorous objections
to the rulings of the judge, who must neces-
sarily follow the dogs on horseback from
start to finish. The naked eye cannot de-
tect on these great plains the finish of many
contests which have been run IN years past,
although those who watched the progress of
the course through glasses could tell exactly
the points made by either dog previous TO
the kill.

this city at o'clock tomorrow will be

AT THE BUTTS.

Military Rife Shooting Is Now tho Topic
of the Day.
It is now stated that the return match be-
tween Companies B and of the Third and
Fifth will take place at Shell Mound In the
early part of January.
The members of the California Schuetzen
Club will not have bulPs-eye shoot this
month, but, instead. will assemble at Har-
Dor View to-day and shoot for their Thanks
giving turkeys.
The coming rife contest between Com
pany B, Third Infantry Regiment, n. G. c.,
and Company 9 (Nationals) of the First is
exciting not little attention in military
company of the State, and recently defeated
the Carson City team in close contest.
The good scores made by Company b in its
recent practice trial has led it to believe that
it would be a strong opponent for the cham
pionS to meet. hence the challenge and its
prompt acceptance.
1t is expected that something definite will
soon be known IN regard to the further re-
quirements of the sharpshoOters of the Ma
tional Guard. Adjutant-General Orton's
order is due some time, and the marksmen
should be relieved of their anxiety. Ser
geant A. A. Smith, who stands at the head
Of the list, says he is ready TO meet his op-
ponentS on any terms proposed. but believes
that the conditions should have been speci-
fed before the State contest took place, in
which every right-thinkiDg marksman will
agree with him.

Peterson's Chance for Making Money.
O'Connor Against Time.
Henry Peterson may soon bundle up bis
traps and take trip to foreign parts, where
the prospects are better of his making an
honest dollar by defeating local oaIsman.
Peterson is always in pretty good condition
fer a race and needs only a few weeks
practice in his shell to give him all the
speed he will need to defeat third-elass
oarsman. He has now good offer to make
some money. and it is quite probable that
be will take advantage of it.
William OCOnnoT, the OaTsman who fol
lowed in the wake of good mems boats when
contesting for honor and money, has num-
Der of funny stories which he learned while
rusticating on the banks of the Paramatta.
One Of his budget Of funny yarns appeared

a meeting was held at the Polytechnic

following definition of an amateur oarsman
was adopted:
That an amateur is one Ia "who has never

that district should be constructed to in
