something in the magnificent sport of

Mr.. Eastman. He is prominent member

thus: III have been a lover of the sport
since childhood, and consider that there is
none other that offers so much pleasure
and healthful exercise as angling. The
true fisherman always is conscientious in
indulging in this favorite pastime, and is
mindful of the fact that streams should
not be impoverished, nor other means
resorted to than legitimate. Fish that
are under size, | believe, should always
be returned to the stream, if one has to go
home with an empty basket. Once in my

STOCKTON SPORTING.
The Crews That Will Row in the
FL Campo Regatta-The
Snrinf arS


STOCKTON, CAL, May 11.-Much inter
est is taken here in the coming barge races
at FL Campo on Decoration day. The
Stockton Athletic Association has made
some changes in the the crew it intends to
send down to compete in the senior race.
The crew will be composed of Frank
Butler (stroke), II. c. Van Meter forward
waist), c. B. Hart CATER waist, John Per
rott Jr (bow), d. B. Trahern (coxswain) J.
Another crew may be entered in the junior
race with Gus Grant stroke, r. G. Chap
man forward waist, viii Folger after
waist, Ernest Braunton bow, Trahern cox
swain. This has not been settled, but in
all probability two crews will 60 down.
The first-named crew is training hard,
under the direction of Dave Creanor, a
veteran oarsman, and is rowing the Bob
Cook stroke.
The tug Estella has been chartered to
take down private party to witness the
sports at FL Campo and another will go
down on the Budd launch. The athletic
association will probably charter one of
the river steamers to take its members
down. A race has been arranged for the
10th inst. between the crews mentioned,
and Walter E. Magee, physical instructor
of the University of California, will act as
Judge. In the evening he Will deliver an
illustrated lecture under the auspices of
the athletic association at Masonic Hall
on physical Culture" He will also adj
wise the directors as to the best apparatus
to be purchased for the new clubhouse.
The association will probably hold field
day at Goodwater Grove some time during
the coming month.
The city is now overrun with professional
sprinters and a race is on for next Sunday
and another is in the wind for the 18th inst.
Some of the best men in the country are in

SPORT IN MENDOCINO.
"Nimrod" Sends an Interesting
Budget of Angling

UKIAH, CAL, May 9, 1S95.-Patience
has ceased to be virtue among those who
want to try their skill and luck with rod
and line. The warm weather does not
come and the anglers tarry no longer on
the order of going, but ''go fishing" any
how.
Sheriff J. R. Johnson of this county and
brace of Sheriff Whelan's force of depu-
ties of San Francisco, Messrs. Gibney and
Tracy, tried Robinson Creek day or two
since. The stories they told had trace
of fish in them, but the writer did not see
their baskets. The City Sheriffs have had
considerable experience too, it is said, in
deep water, and from the wharves, but this
kind of experience in ripping streams of
Mendocino is not always rewarded. They
say it is rather dull fishing with rubber
flies, and that hereafter when they go on
the stream they are going to take bottle
of flies of the real genuine article with
them. They want also to have force of
men hired to cut out shrubbery aud limbs
of trees, as portion of their fishing tackle
was left at various points on the stream,
high over their heads. The party among
whom was Mrs. Herman, enjoyed an ex-
hilarating drive, modest catch and deli
cious lunch. Sheriff Whelan, himself has
promised US a visit, when he will study the
topography of the streams with the inten-
ton of giving object lessons in fy-casting
to his deputies on his return.
Deputy Recorder M. B. Gibson, Marcus
Gibson and U. n. Briggs were on Elledge
Creek before the sun on Sunday last.
These sportsmen believe in whipping
streams that have not been punished
much, and consequently work out beyond
the fringe of settlement. Mr.. Briggs bap-
tized his elegant new rod and initiated it
for the season. They made good catch,
but prefer angleworms for bait 10 the
artistic fly, and they say that at present
the trout prefer them also.

SPORTING LOS ANGELES.
Cyclists Who Are Annoyed by Peo-
pie Who Puncture Their
Wheels,

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 8, 1851 os
Angeles is fast becoming one of the
most notorious cities in the State for cycle
thieves. During last month (Aprin they
averaged a wheel a day. Besides the
Q thieying there is an epidemic of ''punctur-
ing' raging. The puncturists roam the
streets after dark, and whenever they see
pneumatic tire lying around loose they
take fiendish delight in puncturing 1T,
SO that when the unfortunate owner comes
out to proceed on his way he finds his
wheel about as much use to him as fifth
wheel to a wagon. There are some news
paper reporters who are laying low for
these 'puncturists," and it is more than
likely that the first one caught will be apt
TO go home with punctured head.
Jack Prince, the professional long
distance cyclist, who claims pretty much
every record in sight, is still in Los An
geles, trying to get up a match between
himself and any two horses for twenty
miles, horses to change severy mile, the
stake to be either $100 or 5000 side.
The Los Angeles division of the League
OF American Wheelmen is preparing a
roadbook which will show the best roads
in Southern California and Western
Arizona for bicycle-riding The new book
will also show the best routes to San Fran

as Chief Consul Allen says, to make it the
best up-to-date roadbook yet published.
The first annual road race under the aus
pieces of the Santa Monica Bicycle Club
will take place at Santa Monica on Sun

week is criticized from all Sides EVERY

The prospects are good for good races by

The several committees are working like

shall happen to mar first-class sport.

The attendance at the track yesterday
was limited, especially so with the mem
bers of the fair sex, who undoubtedly pre-
ferred some shaded nook in the park to
the sweltering heat of a racetrack. The
track was lightning fast and good time was
made in the different races. But two
favorites-Blue Bell and Midas-were sue
cessful in bringing home the money for
the talent, the remaining four events
gong to outsiders.
The six-furlong handicap was the betting
race of the day Howard was favorite
throughout the betting at 2 and 211 to l.,
but he by no means carried the bulk of
the coin. Charles A was hammered down
from 8 to 5 to 1, and big plunge on Play
full cut her price from to to 2. Qu1rt
opened at to and closed with fves about
her.
Overlooked, with 5 to l against her,
Gree, away fourth, jumped into the lead
and opened up gap the field could never
close. She passed the judges four lengths
in front of Quirt, who beat Howard fully
five lengths for the place. 1t was re-
markedly fast run-1:13H.
The opening race at four and half fur
longs was mere canter for the to 2 fay-
orite, Blue Bell, who led throughout, win
ming by two lengths from Tobey, an 8 to
chance. Julia Martin FLY was good
third.
But four decided to accept the issue with
Midas in the second event on the card, a
short six-furlong jaunt, and he went to the
post a to 5 favorite. Commission and
Rico were both strongly backed for second
position.
Midas headed the others all the way,
winning easily from Sea Spray, who
downed Commission half length for the
place.
The four and half furlong race for the
"babies" was very open betting affair,
Heartsease, Edgemuont, Rejected, Senator
Mahoney and the Gypsette gelding all be-
ing strongly backed.
The winner turned up in the Lone
stable Edgemount, who went to the post 8
to 1 and won driving by length and a
half from Heartsease, Senator Mahoney
was close third.
Opening at to for the fifth race, five
and half furlong spin over the inside
course, Morven was considered pipe"
and was backed down to 6 to 5. Joe Cot
ton ruled second choice, with Miss Ruth a
strong third card.
Morven led all the way until the fiat to
the wire was reached, when Miss Ruth
came from third place and beat him out a
length handily. Joe Cotton was a poor
third.
There was long delay at the post in the
last race, also five and half furlong run
over the main course, caused by the antics
of Sir Reel, Miss Buckley and Soon
Enough. The latter finally ran away with
his rider, humping into the fence and
throwing him eff. When stopped opposite
the saddling paddock the horse was very
lame and was excused. The delay killed
the chances of the s to favorite, Middle
ton, who is a thick-winded animal.
When finally sent away Nellie G and
Alaric, to all appearances, had the race
between them, and forty yards from the
wire were fighting heads apart for the
money. At this juncture Hinrichs brought
Miss Buckley along with rush from the
far rear and niipped the race by half a
the place. MULHoLLAND. a
