Hal Chase on a tandem, Captain Delmas
c. n. Ravlin, J. B. Carey, n. Bryan and
w. Hamilton. The tandem set out at a
three-minute clip, with the riders strung
out behind in single file. Centerville
twenty miles away, was reached in less
than an hour, although a few short stops
were made as one of the machines needed
adjusting. AT Centerville broken ma
chine delayed the riders forty-fve min
utes. A fresh start was finally made and
they came through without a hitch, the
actual riding time being two hours and
ten minutes for the forty-three miles.
They would have returned to San Jose that
night by wheel, but rain made this i'm
practicable. The time made marks this as
the fastest club run ever ridden in Califor-
MIA.
Allan N. Jones of the Garden CITY
Cyclers, San Jose, is rising star among
Canfornla'S young racers. He has shown
remarkable speed on the track and was
considered among the best class A men Of
the day, being ranked with II. F. Terrill
and Archie Reid. He left this class last week,
however, and entered in the class B events
to be run at Oakland, which were post
poned to May IL on account of rain. What
he will be able to do against the long ex-
perience of the ''B" riders is vet to be
seen. He is being trained and managed
by K. 7. Awkward, than whom there is no
better on this coast, and under such favor
able conditions his best speed viii he de-
veloped. In March at San Jose Jones rode
third OF a mile under the worlds record,
but 1t did not stand, being made on Sun
day at an unsanctioned race meet.

Hundreds of tons of miniature fishes that
were taken from this bay by Chinese
sErlmp-catchers have been shipped to
China in past years. Deputy Fish Com

swers regarding their failure to arrest those
law breakers. Possibly Mr.. Emeric may
find deputies who will change the old or

The San Francisco Rod and Gun Club

Spondent the streams that empty into the
Russian River have become discolored by
late rains, and good fly fishing is not ex-
pected until the weather changes and the
water has assumed it's bright summer ap-
pearance.
Thomas Casey, alias Father Tom, was
one one OF a party of anglers who visited
Uklah recently. Hardly necessary to re-
mark that Mr.. Casey caught fish, but they
were OF the sucker variety. He uses rod
known as the ball rod. owing to its pecu-

Tom contends is "out of sight" for sucker

The Spring Valley Water Company will
not open San Andreas Lake before June
or June 10, but anglers will live in hope
OF seeing it opened on the first-named
date, as the fish this year are in prime con-

Anglers who intend to visit Boca this year

this summer, and men will soon be at
work clearing the bottom of the lake of
tons of dirt: 1t is presumed that large
numbers of fine trout that are now in the
lake will dash up into the Boca Creek
when they will find the water receding
rapidly. OF course many trout will go
with the food into the Truckee River
Professional fishermen are already catch

State, but this organization announces
that it will be ready to defend the trophy
against all corners, and now that the
Olympic swimming annex is showing
some signs of life, the CALIFORNIA; antici-
pate that the Olympic natators will be
ready to take up the challenge which they
will issue within the next few weeks to the
swimming clubs of the State.
A match between the California Club
and the Stockton Swimming Club is now
on the tapis, and if the local team can in
duce the Stockton boys to visit the City
and test their mettle, lively contest will
result, as the Stockton 'splungers" are said
to possess an exalted opinion of their
abilities as water poloists.
The California Club is keeping its first
and second teams in hard practice, antici-
pating that as soon as they issue their def
they will have their work cut out defend

are not DESTROYS of holding without a
struggle.
The Olympic Club natators, having
heard of what was in store for them, have
been practicing for several weeks, and the
California Club will guess wrongly II 1t
believes it will catch the Olympians on the
sleepy side when its challenge is issued.

be one of the fastest riders in the world.
He carries back with him the honor of two
worlds records to his credit, and speaks
very highly of the many attentions shown
him while here. He said he expected to
return next fall, about November 1, when
a large number of Eastern racers will be
here. Asa Windle, who is Bald's trainer,
says CALIFORNIA; climate is perfect for de-
veloping racing men, and he will bring his
men out here every spring to train. Kay
Macdonald, the other rider of the team,
has been unwell since his arrival; in fact,
he is not yet able to travel, and will not go
East until next week. The Columbia team
went to Los Angeles last night, but will not
race there. They are due at Waltham,
Mass, May Is.
Chief Consul Melrose has returned from
his trip to Los Angeles. He says the league
is gaining new members every day, which
seems natural enough, considering the
many advantages it offers for the nominal
yearly dues of 81. Now is the time to join,
Garden City Cyclers have renewed their
membership in a body and the Acme Club
Wheelmen of Oakland have just joined
with their entire membership.
The Santa Rosa Wheelmen have been
very active the past few months, and the
races to be held there this coming week
will give them fresh impetus. The
officers OF this 1--we club are: A. L. NC
Gregor, president; A. Schelling, vice
Sawyer and W. F. Pettis, lieutenants; E.
Brooks, A. Westrup and L. w. Burris,
directors.
C. S. Wells, the great class B rider, went
to San Jose yesterday to train for the races
to be run at Oakland next Saturday. he
has made no arrangements as yet regard
ing an Eastern trip, but expects an offer
from the Columbia team after Trainer
Windle has arrived there and had a talk
with Colonel Pope. The Syracuse people
would also like to secure Wells-in fact, he
has no lack of offers.
The attention of wheelmen is called to
the fact that some very interesting cycling
news appears in the CALL every Saturday
in the correspondence from Los Angeles,
San Jose, Stockton. Sacramento and odher
principal cities of the State.

ship Cup.

The CALL has received a neatly bound
copy of the constitution and bylaws of the
California Swimming and Polo Club,
which was recently organized at the Lur-
line Baths in this city. The new club
elected the following officers to direct its
affairs during the coming season: Presi-
dent, F. w. Huntington; vice-president,
A. MacKillop; treasurer, w. Pomin !;
secretary, 1. P. Eppinger, 305 California
street. captain, E. Hartley; sub-captain,
r. Cornell
1t is the intention of the California Club
to make speciality of water polo and to
arouse interest in this sport among the
swimming clubs of the State. Polo has
consequently been receiving considerable
attention from the new organization for
some months back, and its practice games
on Tuesday and Friday evenings have de-
veloped considerable enthusiasm among
the club members and claimed the atten-
ton of the general public, who have shown
increasing interest in this lovely and ex-
csting sport.
The recent championship polo games
in Jew York between the Chicago and
New York Athletic clubs have awakened
renewed interest in the sport in local
swimming circles, and from all appear
ances the game will undoubtedly expert
ence genuine boom in this city if the
California Club receives the support it ex-
poets from kindred organizations.
With the view of establishing a Califor-
MIA championship for water polo, John D.
Spreckels, with his customary public spirit
and interest in manly sports, has donated
handsome cup for competition among the
swimming clubs of the State the holders
of which will be recognized as the cham
pion team of the State, and rules to govern
the games for the trophy and the condi-
tions under which it will be held are now
being drafted and will be published in the
CALL when finally agreed upon
AT the outset, it is Mr.. Spreckels' inten-
ton to place the cup in the hands of the
California Club, which will nominally
constitute them the champions of the

The wheel continues to take its place at
the head of sports in general. There are a
number of road runs on the cards for to-
morrow, and the races announced in sew
eral parts of the State for the near future
will give cyclists ample food for reflection.
The State Sportsmen's Association is
now holding series of pigeon shoots at
the Oakland track. Some of the leading
pigeon grassers of the country will be on

Joint Committee on Appropriations Re-
ports q Bill.
The general appropriation bill, as
prepared by the joint subcommittee,
was submitted to the finance committee
Of the senate and the appropriations
committee Of the house at 1890. The
subcommittee has been working day
and night over the bills and has done
some heavy cutting, reducing the ap.
preparations more than half, according
to outsiders interested. The aggregate
amount Of the appropriations submitted
to the committee to be included in the
omnibus bill was over g., OOO, 900. Every
one of these bills has been gone over
separately, time after time, and all of
them have been reviewed seven or
eight times. As final result of these
reviews the aggregate amount has been
reduced to $1,000, 900, or more than
half. This makes the aggregate appro-
priation reported $500, 900 less than that
passed two years ago.

ST.. PAUL, April l6.-Interest in the
Ives impeachment case reached the
climax Monday night when the final
hearing was had before the house.
While it was hardly expected that a
vote would be reached, there was a
large attendance of visitors to hear the
arguments of the friends and opponents
of, Judge Ives. Among those in the
house during the hearing were son
and brother of the accused, and their
feelings while the fate Of the Judge was
being decided, and while his character
was being discussed with all that free
dom which characterizes the remarks
of a privileged member of the legis.
lature, can only be imagined. After a
strong presentation of both sides OF the
case a vote was reached. The house
decided in favor of Judge Ives by vote
of 80 to II.

VIII.-EMERGENCE.
For Napoleon, Toulon was the open
gate to greatness. His "destiny, 4 for
which he sought SO diligently, came to
him unawares among the guns Of his
battery there. Those guns were trained
first OH Fort L'Eguillette, and then on
the British ships Of Admiral Hood. Our
ships, including the good ship Orient
in which, after four years and seven
months, we shall embark for Egypt, are
pent up in nook Of the harbor. Over
the town, through October and Novem-
Der, floats the banner Of st. George
The Lily flag of the Bourbons has given
place, not to the new Tricolor Of the
Revolution, but to the foreign ensign of
q hated foe; under that are rallied the
Royalists of Toulon. It is to be noted
that the first and the last of Napoleon s
guns are directed against the flag of
England. From Toulon to Waterloo!
There lies the space Of twenty-one years
and six months-filled with the wreck
and Transformation of the world!
Here, on the beautiful Mediterranean
shore, the great act begins. A division
of the French National army has been
sent to retake the traitorous town The
commanders are General Doppet, who
from being q doctor has taken to this
fighting form of patriotism, and General
Dugommier, ali officer who, fourteen
years ago, was with Lafayette in our
American army of Independence. 9th
ers of military experience hold subordi
nate commands; and here also are sew
eral representatives from the Nationa;
Convention. ~ s
The latter, under orders of that body,
are darting hither and yon like arrows,
to sting whoever shall be unfaithful to
the Revolution. Some fly to the field OF
Valmy, where, in the wood of Argonne,
they dart about with eyes sharper than
swords. Others are on the track of Du-
mouriez, toward Belgium and the Meth
erlands, where he struggles to drive
back the Germans; and does it. Others
are with Custine's army, and still others
here at Toulon, watching everything,
and making fatal report Of any blunder.

Everything For England.

Not content with turning over the
American markets to England, Mr..
Cleveland and his laughably play day
cabinet secretly arrange to broadcast
that country with interest bearing
American bonds. By this arrangement
the British capitalist can now invest his
money proitably, while heretofore he
was driven to putting his means into
the pauperized industries Of his stupidity
free trade country. Mr.. Cleveland can
be depended upon to go to the rescue Of
England always when she needs help.
