Late News From the Sacramento
and Truckee Rivers.

Late News From the Sacramento
and Truckee Rivers.
The anglers who have given up in dis
gust the idea of catching trout any larger
than fingerlings in the coast rivers are now
looking forward to the big streams of the
mountains for something at ali like sport.
The Upper Sacramento River in the
vicinity of Sims is rapidly getting into con-
ditlon for fly fishing and already some nice
baskets of fish have been taken from the
stream that is about eight miles above
Sims Station. A letter to the CALL from
w. Anderson, sportsman who is rusticat-
ing in that vicinity, states that anglers
who intend whipping the Sacramento
should leave this City about the last week
in June, as then the fishing will be first
class and good success will certainly crown
the efforts of Waltonians.
w. A. Cooper, who is at Sissons Camp
on the McCloud River, writes as follows:

also.
Although few anglers who could not be
induced to wait until next month have
taken their departure for the Truckee
River, it is only reasonable to presume
that they will return disappointed with
their luck. The Truckee River will not be

and altogether it was rather disgruntled
party that arrived in Redw God Sunday
night in time for the last train.
The scenery on this trip is grand, but
one must be in good condition to stand
the trials of the journey. Halfmoon Bay
and Pescadero both have the wheeling
fever, and there are many riders in the vi
cinity.
James H. Lyons is familiar figure
awheel in the park early mornings and Sun
days. He has not yet attempted country
riding, but will do so shortly.
Captain Lyngreen has called a run of
the Eintracht Cycle Club for tomorrow to
Petaluma, leaving the hall at Z 80 A. M.
One of the most enjoyable club runs OF
the season was held by the Eintracht
Cycling Club to the Newell Bros ranch,
near Palo Alto, last Sunday. The boys
were admirably entertained by their hosts,
and it was with reluctance that they
started on their homeward journey.
Preparations are being made by the
Benicia Wheelmen, club consisting of
seventy-five members, to hold the greatest
race meet on the Fourth of July that ever
was held in this part of the State. The
track is a quarter mile and is in the public
park, in the heart of the city, which has
been given to the wheelmen for their own
use by the Trustees of the town. Prizes
ranging from $40 to $50 will be given.
Wheelmen from all the neigh boring coun-
ties have signifed their willingness to be
present. There will also be ladies' race
for prize valued at $25, which is creating
quite Juror among the lady cyolers; also
parade in the morning and an illumin.

who will make friends wherever they stop,
and no doubt have most enjoyable trip.
Now that 200-mile road record has been
established for the course around the bay,
an attemlt will be made shortly by Richard
Siebe OF the Golden Gate Cycling Club to
lower it. He is very fast rider, with
wonderful endurance, and his fellow men,
bers feel confident he can lower Sorenson's
record of last Sunday. The five-mile road
race of the Golden Gate Club over the San
Mateo course on June 30 will be hotly con.
tested, as fully score of riders are now
actively training for the event.
Victor A. and Frank Hancock are still
touring Northern California in the inter
ests OF the revised roadbook for the League
OF American Wheelmen. In letter to his
brother here, Victor writes from Eureka,
under date of June 4, as follows:
We arrived here o. K. after the toughest trip
l have ever taken. We left Ukiah Thursday
morning and arrived here Monday noon, four
and. half days; Roads rough and muddy.
Going through the redwoods it was all mud
and mostly all walking. 1t will be better in a
tour mile hills. We used drags with success
down all the long grades. The roads for the
last twenty eight miles are pretty good.
There are lots OF wheels here and the interest
taken in cycling is about the same as in other
places. There are two renting places. The
league hotel is the Vance House.
we 1ouno every stopping place from Willis
first place out of Ukiah) and Rio Dell was but
a farmhouse, all about fifteen miles apart.
Here in Eureka the boys are beginning to train
very good riders, and might mention Roberts,
Putnam and Gilman. We leave here to-mor
row for home, going along the coast as far as
Guerneville, then through Santa Rosa and
Napa Valley.
The data which the Hancock brothers
are securing for the roadbook will make
that work of inestimable value to all wheel
men. They secure maps of all localities,
accurately measure distances by cyclone
ter, appoint league hotels, show where
roads are good or bad, sandy or billy, and
wheeling trip to any part of the State can
by reference to the roadbook tell just about
how hard the trip will be, how long it will
take, the best conditions, etc. The book

look forward with pleasant anticipation to
the annual meet of the League OF Ameri-
can Wheelmen, TO be held at San Jose on
July 4. The races will be under the
auspices OF the Garden City Cyclers on
their celebrated three-lap track, and the

events. 1t Will be noticed that The usual
novice race has been omitted. This is
just as well, as it is uninteresting. Entry
blanks Will be sent out next week, and
riders from ali over the State will undoubt-
eddy compete.

Coursing is weekly pastime enjoyed by
lovers of the leash. The oarsmen have
concluded TO bring aquatic sport on a
level with other pastimes that are now
fourishing, and as result, several crews
can be seen practicing on the pay in the
vicinity of the lighthouses. Cricket tennis
and angling are not far behind in the race
for popularity.

Santa Cruz TODAY.

Santa Cruz To-Day.
SAN JOSE, June 14.-Captain Celine
Delmas has called run to Los Gatos for
Monday. June %. This should be yerv
enjoyable affair, as the road is in excellent
condition and the various cherry trees en-
route simply loaded with the luscious fruit.
Many impromptu runs have been en-
joyed during the moonlight evenings, the
ladies having once more become interested
in club affairs. Their fair correspondent
'denies the allegation and defes the allie
gator" when in her last letter she declares
that in their club a clique does not exist.
Many will be glad to know that the one
unpleasant feature OF the club is now of the
past. May they prosper, bless 'em, and do
all sorts of energetic things before the sum-
mer is over.
Queer things happen to merry cyclers
occasionally, and recently while Roxie
(my whee) and l have been enjoying these
balmy evenings many amusing episodes
have been brought to our notice. One
beautiful evening we passed such happy
couple. He was whistling "Robin Hood"
air, while she hummed a sweet second to
it, and leaned over the handle-bar as
they passed, whispering to Roxie to see
what fine couple they were, but Roxie
ratified her spokes and almost succeeded in
sending me into. the gutter as she shook
her head and said: yes, he's lovely now;
SO is she they're young, their hearts are
light and they think they love, but Just
wait"-and here Roxy waved her handle
bars gracefully-'just wait till they leave
the smooth road, then we'll see." We
didn't have to wait long, for suddenly
swinging round turn We met them re-
turning. The girl had given away to an
uncomfortable desire to 1augh-the situa-
ton was such funny one. At least five
miles from home and his sprocket wheel

suspended by his club colors he had so
proudly worn an hour before He was
provoked, but he couldn't cry, so he lust
waiked-but oh, the steps he took Every
one meant volume. Roxie almost ruined
her tire she laughed so hard after they had
passed, so | proposed going back to help
them on their way, and what do you think
we heard him say, standing there in the
moonlight. why said he, az didn't
know wheels could be so obliging, for lust

She looked very happy, so Roxie and I

men made trip through San Mateo
County last Saturday, which was replete

here via train Saturday afternoon, and
commenced wheeling to San Mateo, going
in the direction of Halfmoon Bay. The
roads were good and the grades easy, and
they reeied off the first fourteen miles of
their journey in good time. After leaving
Halfmoon Bay the road is very sandy for
seven or eight miles and only ridable in
places. Then came climb of FIVE miles,
and when they reached the summit it was

parties rode down Thursday afternoon and
Friday morning. The Olympic Wheel

the mountains early this morning. The
racing men all left by train last night.
The Pilot Wheelmen, who have in hand
the management of the races, have done
everything in their power to make their
initial meet a success. The track is in
good condition. the prizes liberal, and as
all the fast men will compete success seems
assured.
The emblem of the Pilot Wheelmen is
the most characteristic design for a cycling
club yet seen here. What could be more
appropriate for a club with that name than
a pilot wheel with the letter P in the
