Excellent and killing a lure as the
Emeric spinner is there is an element of
1ragility aoout it which might be corrected
to advantage. The wire which attaches
the spinner to the head of the hook is not
so clinched that it will withstand an un-
usual strain. This defect while of advan-
tage to the dealers is provocative of pro-
family among those who are enamored of
Commissioners Emeric's ingenious in
vention.
The sloughs of the Corte MADEIRA marsh
yielded lots of carp ond catfish this week.
Pity that that ugly but good flsh, the cat,
is not more aggressive. All the fellow
thinks of is his stomach. If there was
any fight in him he might make things so
unpleasant for the carp that they would
lodge complaint against them with ex-
Commissioner Joseph D. Redding, upon
whom the responsibility of their importa-
ton rests.
Ross Creek, insignificant as it appears at
this season, has afforded some good sport
this year. and there are not few deep
holes in that pretty brook. where some fat
fellows are domesticated, but will not come
forth to the quest of the ordinary tyro.
Lake Merced continues to be a closed
book to the angler. Time was when
plump and lively fish were taken from its
sandy shores, and there are still good fish
in its weedy depths, but few try to catch
them. There are carp in the lake, and
there must be some monster trout.
One day last season two anglers went
out to prospect the lake. They tried flies,
and spoons, and shrimps, and salmon roe,
but the results were nil, and not fish re-
warded their industry Finally they set
half dozen "trimmers" across the lake
from the windward side, but those deadly
catchers were as Intellectual as the rods
There have been some good catches
made on the Alameda, which seems
strange, as for years the "hard-mouths"
had absolute possession of that beautiful
river. Stony Brook, which empties into
the Alameda above the second bridge, was
always good for basket of fair trout early
in the season, but an odd fish was all the
Alameda has yielded up. Stony Brook
has been stocked hence the trout in the
Alameda.
DR.. Williams, with party of friends,
started on big fishing excursion to the
Puget Sound country on Wednesday. The
doctors equipment is perfect He has
several varieties of rods. and tackle enough
to set up a shop in Seattle. Cameras, note
books and scales are included in the outfit.
Though early in the season, reports have
come in already from Bocaf that the fish
are rising in the Truckee. Those rumors
have suspicious flavor, as it seems al
most impossible that in the present con-
dition of the water the fish would take.

yacht-owners left the City on the 1 AS boat
in the afternoon, and before 3 o'clock the
boats of the San Francisco and Pacific Yacht
clubs were in motion, making for Rae
coon Straits. The Corinthians crossed the
bay on the 80 boat, and the Tiburon club
was well represented, as it always is at a
jinks or race.
In bunch went the yachts of the three
clubs through the straits, and as the north
eastern end of Angel Island was passed the
feet of the CALIFORNIA; was made out on
the opposite as they were catching the
sail after leaving Oakland Creek. Every
body was racing up, and there was good
breeze for running.
To-day will witness some exciting sport
if the weather and wind keep up, and there
is hardly any doubt that it will. There
will be lots of chance for the big craft a nd
the little fellows as we'll: lots of windward
work and lots of sport.

Fees On and Off Shipboard.

On all the large transatlantic steamers
the room stewardess is entitled to and ex-
poets fee of 10 shillings (s2 SOY from each
passenger upon which she waits. The
dining room stewardess receives the same
amount. If the passenger is ill most of
the journey, and but seldom at table, then
the Zee of 81 so should be given to the deck
steward instead of the dining-room steward.
Where there is party of ladies, three or
four in one StateroOm, a smaller amount
may be given by each to the room servant.
On land fees are optional, but usual. A
sixpence (12 centsl is the largest fee sx-
pected for actual service. The railroad

and expect fee if they reserve com part

THE YACHTS AT VALLEJO.
Many White Wings Folded in an Illumi-
mated HarbOr.

VALLEJO, CAL, May 18.-Following are
the results thus far of the yacht race to
this city: Chispa first, arrived at 6:20
P. NJ; Truant second, Ramona third, Rover
fourth, Annie fifth.
The wind died down at the Carquinez
Straits. and as a consequence all the yachts
struggled into Vallejo under the most diff
ficult circumstances, the tide and wind
being against them. They came to anchor
off Mare Island with all sails set at the
time of coming, and presented magnif-
cent sight, never witnessed before in this
harbor.
1t is thought that about fifty yachts will
arrive before morning, bringing about 700
people.
All the yachts are decorated, and the
harbor is brilliantly illuminated, causing
hundreds of people to visit the wharf and
gaze upon the beautiful spectacle. AT this
hour 90 P. ny, yachts are constantly ar
irving, and the bay will present most in
teresting and DELIGHTFUL scene to those who
appreciate new arrivals in the city. The
town is yacht-crazy tonight, and every
thing possible is being done to interest the
yachtsmen

English and French Women.

The Temps has a correspondent in Lon
don who has evidently been most favor
ably impressed by the charms of the Eng
lish ladies. Nothing could be more ridicu-
lous than the fancy portrait OF an Eng
lish woman as seen in the minds eye of
Frenchman who knows nothing of Eng
land. Musset said, 'as cold as an English
woman" and the French picture her as a
creature with enormous feet, a jaw like
that of a gorilla, body hands and fat
neck, wearing a round hat, a green veil,
spectacles a plaid shawl, and loose ill-fit-
ting stockings. falling over boots like those
attached to divers dress. Such an idea
could only have been produced he de-
elares, by hatred of Pitt or the defeat of
Waterloo.
The gallant correspondent proceeds to
compare English women with French
women, not at all to the disadvantage of
the former. What superficial observers
take for GOODNESS in the Englishlwoman he
declares is really calmness, an easy bear
ing, a bold grave, confident and unaffected
manner, which excludes coquetry in favor
of personal dignity. The London woman,
he adds, is brought up in a spirit of indie
pendence, which is wanting in French
female education. She may appear little
mannish, perhaps. in consequence, but one
gets used to this, and one finds she is none
the less pretty, or fair, or fresh-colored,
or graceful, or tender.-London Daily

BASS AND TROUT.
Dan O'ConneIl Reels Some Lines
to Lovers of Angling.

to Lovers of Angling.
AT the close of last season an indefinite
rumor went abroad that Lake Lagunitas
was fshed out, and that the game and
beautiful trout of this most picturesque of
mountain lakes, were reduced to corpo-
raPs guard. With this grim foreboding in
their minds the advance guard of fisher
men cast their lines with fear. They were
agreeably disappointed. Not only is there
no perceptiDle diminution in the fish, but
they are larger and more notional than
ever. The little yearIings with which the
lake was stocked, wisely keep in the shall
lows, for the trout is voracious and indis-
crlminate feeder, and has no respect for
helpless innocence.
A project is on foot to place a large cage
in the lake where the young fry may live
and feed on the larvae and grin defiance at
the hungry ''grown ups" through its bars.
This would save thousands from destruc-
ton, and would always insure abundance
of fish. The provisions of the water COM
pany, as written on the passes they issue,
that fish must not be taken with the bait,
is wise one. Last week Superintendent
O'Malley, whose vigilance is untiring, saw
man casting industriously from the
northern shore, those rocky points where
the salmon roe fiends used to plunder the
depths IN previous seasons.
"What are you fishing w1th?" asked Mr.
O'Malley.
"Oh. with flies" replied the angler care
lessly, keeping his cast under water.
"Flies, eh!" rejoined the superintendent,
''let me see what flies you are using.'
The fisherman reluctantly raised his line,
and three white shrimps were revealed.
Sim just tipping my flies with snrimps," ;"
he said explanatorily.
THAT don't go, my good man." said
O'Malley, 1--WE don't permit these fine dis
tinctions on this lake. The rule does not
permit bait fishing, you are breaking it,
and abusing the privilege given you. So
you will please take the homeward track y
And the shrimp-tipper disjointed his rod
and took his departure.
During the hot spell the fishing on this
lake was uncommonly good. Even on the
warnest days there was always a light
ripple on some portions of the water, and
