THE ROD.
Anglers and Trout All Fooled by the
SeasOn-PriVate Waters.

What is the matter with our climate? was
question asked by an angler on his return last
Sunday from a faVorite fishing stream minus
fin.
A jocular sort of fellow who caught the ques-
ton on the fly ventured t. say something I'M
complimentary about the clerk of the weather,
when some one in the Cal IN which the anglers
were seated shouted "Midwnter Fair" and the
report had scarcely died away when the train
shot into a tunnel. and all was silence except
ing the blowing OF The smOkestack
II is not, OF course, to be presumed that the
Midwlnter Fair has had anything TO do with
The unusual atmospheric changes, although
Jupiter PluYiuS, who has had a good brdseye
view of the big show. must have become an
gered at something. However, there is no
gansaying the fact that the rain King has acted
Yerp queer Of late, and some people are mean
enough TO say that when Alexander Badlam
insisted upon having fish exhibit al the fair
old Pluvius decided there and then 10 flood
him out, and he has kept his promise.
The consensus OF opinion among anglers re-
garding the unexpected change in the weather
is tina: owing TO the announcement made by the
Fish Commissioners some months ago relative
to the stocking of coast Streams with Eastern
trout the rain king had become Indignant ana
opened the f1OOdgaieS at a season when Cali
. forniaDs expected better treatment.
The Commissioners had stated that owing to
the small amount OF water that coast streams
contained in the months Of May, June, July
and August, II would be a waste OF time ana ex-
peuse TO stock them with Eastern trout, as the
latter would be sure 10 die.
replace rain, there should be tolerably good
Ioutfishing south OF this city. So far as the
creeks which meander within close proximity
to the North Pacific Coast Railroad are con-
cerned, anglers need not hope Tor much sport
this season.
The Paper Mill Greek has been cleaned out,
and the same can be said of the streams near
CaZaderO.
Reports coming from CoveTdale, Uktah and
Guernevlle. on the San Francisco and North
Pacific Coast Railroad, are 10 the effect that
trout-hshng this year sis unusually good."
This Is entirely owing TO the stopping of net
fishing at the mouth OF the Russian River.
Anglers who can spare the time, aud who can
stand The expense incurred in a trip TO the
Truckee River, which was opened TO anglers
Oh Friday last, can depend upon having grand
sport, as the trout Of the ITuckee are as game
as can be found in any waters. They average
one pound in weight, and quite frequently Il
"Whopper'' of five or six pounds in weight will
put In appearance al the end of the line.
Those VINO prefer fly fishing rather than
spoOning should put off their trip TO the
Truckee until July. when the cream of The
sport is TO be had.
Messrs. Murdoch, Eneric and Allen have
gone TO Weber Lake, where good fishing should
now be In order.

TUG.OE.WAR.
Twelve Teams Are Training for the
Big Event in August.

There is no reason why a tug of-war. If prop
erly managed, should not attract thousands of
people, and especially when sixteen teams are
competing for prizes. Since Mcneil announced
that a second international contest will be held
at Central Park in August he has had letters
from all pats OF The country asking for In
formation.
The financial inducements TO the teams, viz:
so per cent OF the gross receipts, seem TO
strike the strong men about right, and although
the date is over two mon ms off yet some OF the
teams are fully organized, twelve out OF sixteen
that constitute the tournament having entered.
q. b. Mcneil, The manager and promoter of
the affair, says that II is going To be greater
success than any OF those we have had.
The Idea of getting pull at the great Irish
constabulary team OF Belfast, Ireland, when
they are on their American tour, seems 10 stir
up the Irish III his city, ana the result Will
probably be that the Irish team in this tourna-
ment VIII make a much better showing than
was made in any previous one.
Fred Raabe IS getting up the German heavy
weight team. Ii Is sure to be a good one.
The Italians will have limited and unlimited
team in.

good showing Denmark is the only one who is
not likely 10 be represented in this tournament,
England Will be well represented. Bob Gill
son is organizing Team of Britshers.

vonian team. They ought TO give good &C

country as to attract attention OF the public
and we hazard little In proDheSying that
this practice will be considerably extended in
the future. But should the public be expected
10 keep up the supply of these private waters
by restocking them? Until recently but little
attention was paid TO the dTaught of the State
hatcherieS the citizenship of a Stat being sui
fcient TO entitle an applicant TO his quota of
fry, aud his requistlon was hOnored.
For some tlmeIpast we have been watching
the development OF feeling against the sup
plying of private waters with fly AT the public's
expense. First this was manifested by faint
murmurS In private, aud later in protests
through the press; this served as a fOmenta-
lion, and the subject was preached at gather
ingS Of spoTGsmeu. AT the convention OF sports
men IN Bangor, Me-, last year, when reference
was made o this subject, there was elected an
uDmistakable sentiment against tho supplying
OF private waters at the expense of the State.
The Legislature Of Massachusetts, Vermont
aud other States, we believe, have enacted laws
prohibiting the supplying of fry TO any private
club or persons who posted streams.
Recently a case bearing on this subject. but
still further in the interest OF the lay sports
man. was decided in the Supreme Court OF
pennsylvania. IL was that even streams
stOcR ed with fish could not be held as private
unless tile spawn be kept separate, the small
tish lncOSed in a screen until sufficiently large
10 care for themselves; even then 10 hold the
fish as private they must be kept within
screens placed there by the owner. A pond
within certain area without continuous flow,
can be called a private pond; but ac
cording to this decision, al the waters
land, and a person whose lands are covered
only by part OF the water, places fish therein
for the purpose OF propagation, the pond does
not thereby become a rrivaie pond within the
meaning OF the act OF June 3, 1873. Neither is
a notice that ALI persons are hereby notified
not 10 treSpaSs on these lands or nSh in this
pond under the penalty OF The law sufficient
notice under The act of June 3, 1873. either 10
strangers or 10 neighbOrS. The meIe placing
OF fish in pond without any improvement
whatever for TIE propagation OF fish or OF game
nsh is not sufficient 10 place The pond within
the protection or the act OF June 3, 1873"
The decisions which have been made on this
subject thus far seem correct IhrIe is no
good reason why those acquiring the exclusive
rights OF fishing should not pay for replenish-
Ing such waters, and IL Is noticeable that many
OF the most prominent clubs have recognized
this. In many parts Of the country the land
owner continues TO post the streams running
through his landed possessions and derives a
revenue from those who fish these waters Any
business yielding private profit, whether IN the
form or recreation or revenue, should not be
sustained by the public.

Bessie and weighs fully sixty-two pounds. He

fOrnla
! here was no prouder man in San Francisco
last Wednesday evening than Tim Cronn when
lie heard that his favOrite bitch Kathleen took
first prize In her class in the Oakland bench
show, aud that another from his Kennel Wood
stock took first hOnOrs in the dog class also.
Both dogs were entered by John Coleman Of
Myrtle street, Oakland, and 1t must be said
that they were in splendid condition. Indeed
il would be difficult TO improve Oh them in any
way-tbey we're simply perfect for bench show
purposes, showing that MI. Coleman deserves
no small amount Of credit for the splendid sue
cess of his kennel. Kathleen Is now years
old and has been one of the most successful OF
the many good greyhoundS that MI. Cronln has
so frequently sent into the cOurslng nelds OF
the Stale, both in the open and Ill the lnclOSed
fields. She won her first stake as sapiing at
Newark when but 10 months Old and then COLI
tinued for the next three years her victorious
career almost without a break, meeting all
kinds of company and always with very near
perfect success. With the exception OF Sky
rocket, and possibly Sly Girl she has been the
most consistent runner of all our greyhounds.
In color she is white, with black ears, and is,
as Judge Waddell said, perfect beauty to
look al.
Woodstock, Mr. Coleman's second winner, is
also very handsome dog, black and white in
color, but as yet has not proved himself much
of fielder.
He Is by Cronins Blackthorn out Of White
Lilly, bitch that was once owned by John
Du gan OF Newark, which, when she was in his
hands, made an excellent record in the cOursing
field. Woodstock. as well as taking first prize
In his class, took also the prize the best grey
hound in the show.
The great SkyrOcket had to be content with
second hOnOrS, but it was evident from his app
pearance thar he should not have been placed
in the ring al all. as he was suffering from a
severe attack of rheumatism, and was scarcely
able TO walk across the riIA.

ALL THAT WAS CLAIMED.
Otto Weisman's Challenge to the
American Field.


Otto Weisman of 719 Market street is indig-
nant that an Eastern sportsman's paper should
have ridiculed his rriZe dog Victor. whose tricks
with cards, coin, etc. have puzzled all who saw
the dog perform. The journal in question is
the American Field aud it actually has preten-
tons OF knowing something about trick dogs.
quite recently The CALL published de-
ScrtptlOn OF Victor and his accomplishments.
When The astute specialist of the Eastern
sportsman's journal read the account he copied
II, and forthwith proceeded 10 TidIcule the
article without thinking OF making mquiIi y.
The story NAV 60 down with THE CALL
readers" he wrote, but lie was positive that
his more enlightened followers would laugh at
II. He even went so lar as 10 lnSlnuate that 10
such cog existed. while IL would require only
few minutes search 10 find VicIor's nam
among bench show prize winners In one OF the
bull-teTrler classes.
Still wonderful 1t may appear to some
Eastern "bOw-wow" experts, this intelligent
animal Is really In existence and will perform
all that THE CALL said he did. Mr.. Weisman
backs this assertion with a certified cheek of
$500, which he has placed with THE CALL as
"a wager against the American Field that Victor

power. Steam will bo furnished by two water
lube boilers. The hull will be built OF mahogany
and steel and will be so constructed as TO make
the yacht easily convertible IN case OF need into
a torpedo boat.
Mr. Fox SAYS that he intends TO race his new
boat against all corners, both in this country
and abroad and feels confident of success.
The Fox, as the new boat Will be called, Will
be q much more powerful boat than the
Feiseen, built by the same company ana IN inc
contract MI. Fox has required that everything
shall be up to Government standa rds, thus IN
suriDg boat that is more than mere racing
machine.
When 1t is considered that the new boat. al
though less than 100 feet long. is to have more
power than 130-fOOt torpedo boat, 1t seems
quite probable that Mr.. FOx's expectation OF
thirty knots, or over thirty-four statute miles,
Will be realized.
