Lively Times Expected on Account of
Admission Day.
The next rowing event Of importance
will be the regatta on Admission day. 1t is
still month off, but from the outlook will
far exceed anything in the line of rowing

element for those who evinee fondness
for aquatic sport Already several Of the

promises to have one of the speedlest tours
that ever rowed barge on the Coast.

terday that he is anxious to measure blades
with Paine, the Victoria (B. c. sculler, any
time after the September regatta for $500 a
side, the race to take place in San Fran
cisco.
Lou Heringhi Of the Lurlnes thinks that
his amateur four can set such clipping
pace that no other crew will be in it.
1t would be well for the committee on re-
gatta to fix n date for the races, other than
on the day of the parade, because a number
of the scullers are members of parlors and
more than anxious to take part in the pa
rade.
The Alameda club will enter two crews,
one each for the professional and amateur
events.
Captain FRANK u, Drum OF tDe COluihpldS

organization.
Captain Dougherty of the South Ends is

crews from among the new material in the
club, but expects by Admission day TO have
at least three clipping good four-oared
| crews.
There promises to be very large attend

order to make the affair a success, the two
clubs whose headquarters are at Sausallto
and the Native Sons have altered their
previously arranged programmes, and the
bay excursion, which the latter had
arranged for September 10th, will now take

In this race some one in the crowd raised
an objection to Haverly's driver. SO that he
stepped off the sulky and refused to drive
the third heat Mr.. Coleman then put III
professional driver, and Mr.. Meek objected
on the ground that he is not professional
himself and would not drive against pro-
fessional. Because the judges ruled that
Meek was right and that tile professional
could not drive, Coleman became incensed
and drew out of tie race, leaving Meek to
make the run alone and take the prize.
This trouble all came about by the inter-
ference of outsiders, who had money up on
Coleman's horse and thought the poor
driver was holding him down. The judges
saw at once that this was an attempt on the
part Of outsiders and gamblers to run the
races and decided to squelch it without any
ceremony They therefore barred Cole
mans horse out, and notified the outsiders
that if interference and gambling were not
stopped right away they would be put on
the track.

Stocking Private Waters With Eggs
From state Hatcheries.
A few weeks ago THE CALL published
the names Of people who had received from
the Shovel Creek and Sisson hatcheries
this year large consignments of trout-eyed
eggs for the purpose of stocking streams
and ponds in this and adjoining counties
Since the publication, letters have been re-
ceived from sp0rtsmeD, who are residents
of this city and Oakland, asking for lnIor-
nation concerning til e disposal of the eggs,
and particularly as to the streams and ponds
in which the young fishes would be placeu
when Matched.
Judging from the tone of these letters the
writers have been evidently labOrlng under
a misrepresentation, as the majority OF tne
eggs shipped from the State fish hateherles
was not intended for the stocking OF STATE
streams The eggs have been consigned 10
individuals, who own preserved pondS or
lakes, the waters of which cannot NC
whipped by any persons other than tnose
who are fortunate enough to procure perniito

Route for Market-Street Extension Yet
Undecided.
A meeting Of the Street Committee OF the
Supervisors was held yesterday morning at
which Herman Schussler, chief engineer OF
the Spring Valley Water Works Company.
made a proposition to deed right-of-way
from the northeast corner of the MERGED
rancho to the ocean for the opening of Mar
ket street. He explained that the company
is willing to grant the right-of-way through
its land if, in consideration OF its donation,
the board Will refrain from assessing the
corporation for the expenses OF condemnlng
other lands.
The proposed road will be 100 feet wide
and 10000 feet in length. AT recent meet
ing of the committee Adolph Sutro also
agreed to deed right-of-way from the
northeast corner of the rancho soutberly
through his Land to the county line, but he
has since added riders to his offer that have
caused Mr.. Schussler to suspect his desire
to withdraw the agreement
If the suspicion is correct the Directors
Of Spring Valley will deed right-of-way
southerly through the rancho to the county
line. so that Market street will have Two out
lets anyhow. If Sutro's offer be accepted
Market street, after crossing the Twin Peaks,
would fork at the ranch. one line running
to the great highway and the other to the
county line.
a map of the route proposed to be decided
by the Spring Valley Company TO the ocean
was examined and the committee decided
/ to drive over the ground on Thursday next

The amateur athletes who cater to out
door athletic sports do not show the spirit
of enthusiasm that is manifested among
athletes of Eastern cities, who have not the
favorable opportunities that are accorded
CalifornIans. Here the weather during the
summer months is tempered by cool
breeze from the ocean, and in the winter
snow and sharp cold winds are rarities. A
spirit of rivalry is needed among the olym-
plans to advance athletics, and when for
.midable club is organized to oppose them
athletic sports will receive an impetus.

what Has the State Sportsman's Club
Done for the Public?
Last Friday the dove-shooting season
opened in Marin County, and. owing to the
fact that the birds have been carefully pro-
tected this year, there is now good shoot
ing to be had on many of the ranches which
are supplied with running streams.
The Supervisors Of many adjoining coun-
ties have changed the State game law to
suit their localities The changes have
puzzled many sports men who were not
aware of the alterations that have been
made 10 the general game law; hence the

Rivalry Among Clubs Required to Help
the Pa7time.
.::There is lull in outdoor athletic sports,
and it is doubtful whether the pastfme will
ever take a hold on the public of this city.
In conversation with Mr.. Scott Of the
Q Olympic, few evenings ago, on the ques-
:. ton of amateur athletics that worker ae-
knowledged that outdoor athletic sports in
San Francisco would never gain promi-
hence so long as there is not rivalry ex-
listing among clubs.
The Olympic Club. with very few excep-
tions, claims the cream of the athletic fra
ternity, and as a matter of consequence the
other clubs, which are only pigmies in COM
parison, cam OF successfully cope at the
championship games with the boys who
wear the flying shoe. The University Club
at Berkeley has some good material, but
there is not enough of il to cope with the
leading organization OF the Pacific Coast.
Then there are the Alpine, Reliance,
Acme and other small-fry clubs, which now
and then turn out dark horse" VINO
makes a record in some event thought to
be "a dead-sure thing" for some well-known
athlete THE CALL suggests. as there
is at present no one club on tile Coast tne
equal of the Olympic, especially in contests
where first-class talent is needed, that' 10
inspire an interest in the pastlme, comDl-
nation OF small CLUBS De loTlDeu W CohPo'o
against the Olympic
Suppose then that the Alpine and Olympic
clubs on this side of the bay should meet ID
a championship contest a club formed OF
members representing the University, Pell-
ance, Acme and Alameda Olympic clubs OF
the other side of the bay. The meeting
could he announced as Frisco VS.. Oakland,
and the very fact of a rivalry in athletic
sports existing between the two cities would
induce large attendance from either side
of the bay, and an enthusiasm result TO give
the pastime great impetus.
Certainly something must be done il am
ateur athletic sports ever hope to gain a
foothold in this city. There is plenty Of
good material on the other side Of the
water to pit against the Olympic Club In a
meeting when all kinds OF outdoor sports
are introduced. 1t would not be in keep
ing. however, for any one club to choose its
own games. This could be Offset by placing
a certain number of events in hat, ana
then each club draw game until the pro-
gramme is completed, or standard Of
events could be made suitable to botn sldes:
As the matter now stands the CLUBS Oh
Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda have mol
the least ambition to compete against the
powerful Olympic, therefore some plan
must be thought of to bring about spirit
of rivalry which viii create enthusiasm ID

4 Good Days Racing at the Oakland
Trotting Park.
The races of the Gentlemen's Driving
Association at the Oakland TrOtting Park
yesterday were the most interesting, largely
attended and successful of any that have
been held since the association was organ
lied.
The popularity of these events is the alb
sence of the gambling element that has
done so much to throw horse-raeiDg into
disrepute. The lovers Of fine horses and
fast travellers have now chance every
week or two of testing the metal of their
pets without entering in a professional
race, and as an incentive to good work sew
eral prizes are offered at each meeting.
Only members of the association are al
lowed to participate and each owner drives
