Local oarsmen who will participate in
the regatta which will be held at Sacra-
mento on the 9th inst. are training hard
every evening and morning over the Long
bridge course, foot of Third street. The
Olympic Club oarsmen are particularly in
terested in the coming races. They are in
hopes OF meeting the st. Mary's crew and

evening of the Sd inst
Members of the Pacific Kennel Club will
be greatly surprised If sufficient attend
ance of club officers will be present at next
Wednesdays meeting to form quorum.
The admirers of pointers and settlers can
not understand why the officers of the
club have suddenly taken such very linn
tied interest in kennel affairs. 1t would
seem that the club is in need of an infu-
sion Of new blood. However, it is rumored
that new club, which will be devoted to
kennel matters exclusively, is being organ
lied and several, of the leading and most
prominent dog-fanciers of this City are
now agitating the formation of such a
clup. 1t is quite probable that a meeting
OF sportsmen interested in field sports will
be called in the very near future.

The several varieties of food fish that ar
rived here from the Government station,
on the Illinois River, several months ago
are doing remarkably well at the Sisson
hatchery, and at a time not far distant the
Fish Commissioners will be able to dis
tribute quantities of valuable fish in
streams where the conditions are best
suited to their habits.
Those at the hatchery are small and will
not break until next year, but should null
tiply rapidly after that time under the con-
ditions in which they now exist.
The slender elegantly shaped striped
perch with their black and yellow bodies
are also thriving, and will, some day,
swarm in the San Joaquin and Sacramento
rivers, now given over to the sluggish cat
fish.
The Yarmouth bass and sunfish are
doing well, particularly the latter.
These brilliantly colored little fellows
are excellent table fish and thrive in al
most any water, taking the baited hook
readily and displaying game qualities quite
beyond what their appearance would indi-
cate.
Recent advices from San Diego are to
the effect that yellow tarts and large hall
but are running plentifully in the harbor

having great sport with the big fellows.
