markable days fishing he ever enjoyed.
During the twelve days of his stay on the
river he caught 127' trout, weighing I'll
pounds, actual scale weight.
He says the fish were all in fine condi-
ton, fighters and entirely free from the
fungus which SO often spells the fish of
Eastern streams.
The average fisherman who takes the
trouble to go as far as San Mateo County
in search of sport may fairly be presumed
to be a sportsman, but there are certain
men in this City who aspire to that honor
able title who might take lessons from
even the untutored Indian, who spares the
smaller denizens of forest and stream, that
they may grow larger and eventually come
to his net in acceptable size.
In several small lakes in the county
mentioned black bass have been placed,
and they have bred and multiplied until
the waters TEEN with small fish that if let
alone for few seasons would furnish ex-
cellent sport for the angler. Last Sunday
Fred Venker and Tom Irvine, two pseudo
sportsmen, visited one of these lakes and
took from it lbs little bass, the largest not
being over 3A to inches in length.
Such an act is on par with the butch
cry of spotted fawns, and should not only
be frowned upon by genuine sportsmen,
but brought within the pale of the law and
punished as the killer of the fawn is pun
ished when caught.

Five California Dogs Entered for

1t is now an assured fact that five of the
crack greyhounds of the coast will leave
here in October to take part in the greatest
coursing stake of the year-the American
Waterloo. The nominations closed some
time ago, four dogs-two from the Alameda
kennels, and like mum Der from the ken
nels of Mr.. Patten of Santa Cruz, being
entered.
Recently word was received that a gen.

the well-known judge, at the instance of
Mr.. Patten, telegraphed an acceptance of
the offer, and one of Mr.. Patterns dogs

Both the owners of the Alameda kennels
and Mr.. Patten have some fine dogs, and
expect to be in the money.
In addition to their Waterloo entries
they will take with them on their Eastern
trip number of dogs to run at other
meetings which occur subsequent to the
big stake.
John Grace recently made trip to San
Jose to inspect the Cooney kennels at that
place and reports that fine lot of young
dogs will soon be ready for the slips.
Among them are litter by Warrato and
another by Dashaway out of Valley Queen.

Harry F. TerriIl and Captain Theo c..
Dodge, the two Bay City wheelmen who
started last Tuesday for wheeling trip
along the coast, have met with several set
backs, according to a letter the writer re-
ceived from Terfill yesterday. He says:
We had a fine ride until we struck the
Alpine road, when my sprocket broke. Dodge
pushed me from there clear into Pescadero,
and just as we reached here we had collision

damage to Theo's. viii wait here-Pesca-

THE ANGLER.
An Eastern Mans Catch on the
Williamson River.

An Eastern Mans Catch on the
Williamson River.
During the past week the Fish Commits
sioners have received the record of catch
made by an Eastern sportsman on the
Williamson River that convinced the lucky
angler that in no place on the face OF the
globe can such fishing be found as on the
river named.
j. r. Moore, who had exhausted the
pleasures of tarpon fishing in Florida
waters, and fought the gamy salmon of
Canadian streams until the sport became
tame came to California to try the rain
bow trout. He was little skeptical of
finding anything out of the usual run, but
he has changed his mind now, and will
tell his friends in the East that California
beats the world for trout fishing.
On his arrival here he applied to the
Commissioner as to the fishing and was
directed to the Williamson River. On the
first day out he tried 71z-ounce rod and
his first strike was 10-pound rainbow
that taxed all his skill to land. His next
was 5-pounder, and then he went back
to camp and getting a heavier rod pre-
pared for the fray. On July % his catch
was as follows:
Morning, two hours-One 7-pounder, five
6-pounders and one 4-pounder.
Afternoon, two hOurs-Eighteen fish,
weighing As pounds, scale weight.

they had to take his. Nor would he at
tempt to slip at hare that he could not
get fairly well behind. But she had to
come very awkWardly if he could not reach
her, for he was marvellous man at carry
ing his dogs round. And what judge of
distance! He gave a most remarkable
illustration OF that upon one occasion at
Altcar, and at the same time wonderful
exposition of his own skill. He was ap-

and he saw that If he slipped inside the
jump the slip would be too short. On the
other hand, if he few the drain, by the
time he again got his dogs steadied to-
gether for tie squirt which precedes the
delivery the slip was going to be too long.
There was still way out of the difficulty
for Raper, though probably for no other
man. He went fast at the drain, and as
all three were in midair the pin was drawn,
the dogs landing together with the leash
falling from their necks."

their time cooking the gamy trout from

Strawberry Valley, where the fishing is
said to be unusually good at the present
time.
Herman Bernhard. the genial boniface, is
enjoying himself among the rocks and
coves of the waterways about Seattle in
company with Jim Johnson, formerly of
San Francisco, in the latter's handsome
yacht Linda, and many are the stories of
big catches of strange fish that have
floated down to the friends he left behind
him.
Herman declares that except for the
fact that one small hask-to be used only
in case a member of the party was bitten
by the sea serpent--was all the spiritual
consolation on board the craft he might
have imagined himself victim of over
confidence in his own capacity SO strange
and grotesque were the denizens of the
deep hauled on board.
First came ratfsh, then catfish, and
finally one of the party, to complete the
happy family, brought dogish over the
side.
"Then," writes Bernhard. ito avoid get
ting the rest of the menagerie, we quit
fishing and went to spearing soft-shell
crabs with table-forks tied on sticks,
sport not quite so exciting as catching you
knew not what, but more to the advantage
of the commissary department.
Mr.. Bernhard expects to make trip to
some of the celebrated trout streams in
that vicinity before returning home.
When joan Siebe and al Wieland started
on their European trip they did not forget
to carry with them few trusty rods and
supply of flies, and that their forethought
was rewarded is shown by the following
letter which their friend, Henry Skinner,
received few days ago:

guaranteed that the fight will go on with

of the battle.
Should any hitch in the arrangements
occur the battle is likely to be called off

on Mexican soil under any consideration.
