Do you know wish people would over
come the idea that simply by wearing
boomers a woman lies herself liable to
comment. A modest woman is modest in
any garb, be it bathing suit, boomers or
tailor-made street gown.
Because we are unfortunate enough to
have upon our streets the be-jacketed, be-
bloomered female, with yellow hair and
drugstore complexion, it does not follow
that the suit itself is immodest A true
woman never loses her womanly sweetness
and purity, and the girl of to-day who rides
the bicycle, plays golf, polo and tennis,
and is capable of walking ten miles
before breakfast is better fitted for wife
hood and motherhood than the spoiled

GUN AND GAME.
Sportsmen Who VIII Have Inland
Preserves-CurleW-


This afternoon the Alameda Gun Club
will hold its monthly shoot at the Oakland
Trotting Park, ana tomorrow afternoon
the Olympic Gun Club members will try
their skill on artificial birds. 1t is said
that the Olympic sportsmen have made
complete arrangements with the owners of
the property through which the Lagunitas
Creek flows for it's lease for one year. At
the expiration of the term it will be OPP
tional with the sportsmen if they intend to
hold the land under lease for further
term of years. 1t is said that keepers will
be detailed on the LIST of June to keep ang-
lers and sportsmen off the grounds.
Some sportsmen of this City and San
Rafael have leased the De Long ranch,
which includes IA 900 acres of good shoot
ing and fishing for term of five years.
The land is situated north and about fif-
teen miles from San Rafael, and affords
good deer shooting during the season open
for that kind OF sport. Sydney Smith, a
prominent business man of this City, is
one of the leading members of the club.
Within the last ten days there has been
some fair sport on the marshes along San
Leandro Bay, and also the low lands run
ming from Waldo Point to Alta on the
Sausalito and San Rafael Railroad. Cur
lew and plover and the sand snipe have

great numbers, but enough to make bag.
Charles O'Connell bagged nine curlew
near Victors, on the Richardson Bay side,
on Tuesday, and knocked over twenty
eight plover, which was not bad days
work.
There is certain sportsman from San
Francisco, name unknown, who would
take prize as a champion curlew-caller.
With his fingers to his mouth he can ar
rest the flight of flock of curlew and
bring them within gunshot. Even after
the discharge he is able to keep them
within range. The weird and plaintive
cry of this shy bird he initiates to perfec-
ton, and it is interesting to watch the
flock pause when they hear it, waver
moment on the wing and then wheel back
toward the destroyer who is calling them
to their death. The yellow-leg plover and
the gray sandpiper afford lots of fun these
summer days, and by iudicious treat
ment they can be prepared for the table
without a trace of the marshy taste. The
curlew should be hung at least three days
before eating. A hot bath in salt water in
which lump of charcoal has been dis
solved will improve the meat.

smiths and the swinging of 25-pound
sledge for ten hours day has given them
muscle and wind power to withstand the
most killing pace in any race. Jim Pickett
is trained athlete, having been a member
OF the Olympic Club; D. Connely has dis
tinguished himself as Whitehall rover
on more than one occasion and their cox
swain, George McGrill is considered with
out peer. They train regularly, and
neither smoke nor drink and the way they
go over the three-mile course, keeping up
38-minute stroke from start to finish, is a
safe presumption that they will make their
heavier opponents hustle to keep out OF
their wake.
Jack Dunphy, the noted single-sculler,
has taken the junior and senior crew of
the Pioneers in hand and will, no doubt,
have them in fine fettle on the day of the
race.
The various other clubs boast of the
proves of their crews, and it is safe to say
that from the word "go" most exciting
and interesting race will be rowed and the
cleverness of the coxswains will be called
to play in keeping their course among the
many entries. w. III. MCGRILL.

Oscar Lewis of the County Clerks office
has Joined the ranks of the wheelmen.
Oscar has purchased a wheel with the very
latest improvements, and on Thursday
evening he took his first spin. He left the
City Hall with some expert riders, and
after riding few hundred yards he grew
tired and weary and wanted to dismount.
He found that the task of getting off his
wheel was not so easy as he had anticl-
pated, and rather than have any alteration
with the rocky road should he come to a
sudden stop Oscar headed his wheel for
the Cliff House.
Arriving at the beach in an exhausted
condition, he permitted his poor anatomy
to lodge itself in an inviting sanddune.
Some people who were passing in car,
riage on seeing the body of man stretched
at full length on hill of sand reported
their find when they arrived at the Cliff,
and the ambulance wagon was sent for the
supposed corpse. Lewis had sufficiently
recuperated, however, to take the cars for
home, and as consequence the ambulance
driver was cheated out of passenger.
Oscar is now thinking what kind of exer-
else is necessary for a fat man to ride a
bicycle against wind and sand without
having to stop over for refreshments.

How the Amateur Scullers Train
for the Big Regatta-Spoon-
ing at Night

ing at Night.
The rowing fraternity is all agog over
the great regatta to be held at Ell Campo
on May 80, and the rejuvenated activity
and enthusiasm which is manifested by
the various clubs entered indicates that
the affair will be great success.
All the crews and single-scullers are
training ike Troians, and nightly may be
seen plying their shell-like crafts through
the placid waters of Mission Bay with
fervid vigor, under the guidance of their
several coaches.
Several old-time oarsmen and past
masters with the spoons were noticed
along the bridge Sunday and during the
training nights of last week. They were
favorable in their comments of the work of
the various crews, and expressed the
opinion that il will be no easy matter to
predict the winner.
Word from Stockton and Vallejo tells OF
the diligent manner in which the up
country boys are training, which seems to
have set the crews about the bay here to
work with renewed energy, for they look
upon tue Stockton boys and the Fallejos
as dark horses from the showing they
made with the South Epds some years ago.
Bob McArthurs Olympic Club crew is
race. Bob is not content with allowing
his men to simply train with the oars, but
makes them go through regular exercise
at the Olympic Club nightly. He says he
is going to have them trained down as fine
as granulated sugar when they enter the
race.
The Acmes, under the tutelage of Henry
Tank, now row in perfect rhythm, and
while they say nothing they are neverthe-
less determined, win or lose, to make the
other crews know they were in the race.
st. Mary's College crew handle their oars
as if they were toothpicks, and the way
they make them bend in their practice
spins needs but second thought to con-
vince one of the muscular development of
the men.

Although the lightest men in the race,

fellows and possess that qualification SO
essential to good oarsman--sand.
