Very little sport is being obtained by rod ex-
perts at the present time. The depth and cold
ness of the rivers are not conducive to success
in this line. Folsom anglers are endeavoring
to have the ponds in that vicinity stocked with
black and striped bass. That old veteran of
the rod Chris Eeklon, was in sacramento
few days since and states that there are reser-
voirs in the vicinity of that place that if once
stocked could easily be preserved from the en-
croachment of poachers and would in time FUR
nish stock for propagating the species in other
waters. Mr.. Ecklon is an enthusiast in a1lmat-

THE KENNEL.
A New st. Bernard Club-Miss Whitney Of
Boston May Judge.

ooSboA uaa uSC'
The admirers of st. Demands in this city
met on Wednesday evening last and in
augurated st. Bernard club. There were
present: ]. G.. Barker, A. J. Kidd, F. Frey,
w. M. Craig, w. H. Collins, J. R. Kelly,
Captain w. Poole, j. B. Wingate, o. III.
Williams, A. r. Crowell, DR.. A. T. Regens-
burger and J. r. Dickson.
Considerable discussion took place on
the position of the ST. Bernard on this
coast and the best means for making it
still more popular here.
j. G. Barker was appointed chairman of
the meeting and A. K. Crowell secretary
pro tenn.
Many names were suggested for the new
club, and eventually it was carried that the
club should be known as the st. Bernard
Club of California.
A. R. Crowell and O. II. Williams were
appointed a committee to draft rules, con-
stitution and bylaws for the club and re-
port to the special meeting on Thursday
evening next.
The question of getting Miss Whitney of
Boston out to Judge the ST. Bernards at the
coming show, occupied considerable time.
The expense Of transportation would be
$3.50 and the club members said that they
would stand that amount to have Miss
Whltney's opinions of the home stock of
st. Demands. Messrs. Barker and Crowell
were appointed to meet the Bench Show
COMMITTEE and ask it to have Miss Whitney
appointed judge of the st. Bernards.

COURSING.
How the Waterloo Cup Was Won and Lost
Local Notes,

Local Notes.
The telegraphic news of the English
Waterloo cup, which reached this city last
week, was so beautifully mixed up that it
was almost impossible to extricate the
names of the winning dogs from the names
of their owners or nominators. One would
think that if thing is worth doing at all
it is worth doing well, but this is looked
upon by the transmitter or telegraphist as
an old fogy idea not worth taking into &C.
count nowadays. The only thing that
these gentlemen are generally correct in is
to see that they get paid in full for their
slipshod work.
BY the assistance, however, of some
English papers Though printed two or
three days before the meeting commenced)
we are able to sift out from the kilograms
that it was j. Pilkington's bitch Thought
less Beauty, running in HI. B. Carruther's
name, that won the great event, while
Captain Ellis Fortuna Favente was the
runner-up. Both these dogs have per-
formed well in all the big coursing events
of the season, and it was said some
weeks ago that each of them was backed
for "barrel of money''-f10,OCO at least
1t will be another week before we can re-
ceive the full particulars of the great dog

There will be big meeting in Kerrigan,s

take place at Pythian Hall on Thursday
evening, the 2Sth inst. John Grace Will

slips.
The first prize for the interstate coursing
match will be about $500, and other prizes
in proportion. The meeting will come off
on the 30th of May next.

The freshman sophomore field day
which takes place at the university cinder
track this afternoon promises to be of ex-
ceptional interest. as it is expected that
several records will be broken.
OF the prospects of some of the men who
will participate this is what Mr.. Winter
says:
We may look for some exciting contests. The
100-yard dash between Scoggins, '97, and
Barnes, '9s, will be in every sense of the term
race, for as it now looks Scoggins, in spite of
his brilliant career last year, has no license to
beat Barnes in the sprinting event. Scoggins,
however, was not well when he gave Barnes
two yards at the tT ri, day last week and
inches. l am afraid Scoggins has little ma
laria, and until he is rid of that he will not be
himself.
Barnes is a coming man. We may expect
great work from him in the 100 and the 900.
They say he has always been weak at the finish,

Relay Race.
The annual 100-mile relay race of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs, to be
run on Sunday, April 7, is now so close at
hand that it is the uppermost topic OF
conversation among the wheelmen. One
hears on every side predictions as to the
result and wagers as to the time that will
be made, and the riders who are entered
for the various clubs are training diligently
every day. That all previous records will
be lowered is without question, and many
venture the assertion that it will be the
fastest relay race ever run, which does not
seem improbable when the makeup of the
different teams is considered.

the Associated Clubs have recently COM

with special reference to their ability
to discuss and expound some of the
most momentous questions affecting
the welfare of the great west. So
comprehensive in the business pro-

The convention will probably be in

A copy Of the clergy agreement" OF
the western railroads has reached the
local Offices of the lines in this city.
The main features Of the agreement
are that instead of each line issuing
separate half-fare permits to clergy
men, permits are now made good on
any line of he association. Applica-
ton may be made through any of the
roads. This will save the individual
lines a great amount of work, as well
as being great convenience to the
clerygymen. Among the limitations
in the agreement is the following;
Evangelists and missionaries who are
not properly accredited clerygymen
will not be granted annual or time
permits unless having official appoint
ments from recog nized religious or =
CARNATIONS, and which certify that
their duties require them to constantly
travel Teachers in mission schools
and so-called medical missionaries
who are not clergymen, will not be
granted other than trip permits.
