SPORTS AT STOCKTON.
Preparations Being Made for the
Field Day and Regatta.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 7.-Great prep
arations are being made here for field
day and regatta on the Fourth of July.
The Stockton Athletic Association has
taken charge of this and intends to make
It one of the great athletic events of the
year. 1t has been arranged to have a
junior barge race, senior barge race, a
wherry race, all for amateurs, and one
professional race in singles. The course
for the barge races will be two miles with
turn, and the oarsmen can always count
on smooth water in the channel, which is
by far the best course in the State Crews
from the South End, Ariel Dolphin,
Pioneer, Olympic and Acme clubs and
from St. Mary's College will be invited.
The track at Goodwater Grove is being
put in condition for the field-day sports.
The track is half mile around, and is one
of the best bicycle-tracks in the State. 1t
was selected by Bliss, Dlrn berger, Wells,
Foster and Ziegler last year. The Reliance,
Olympic and Acme Athletic clubs and the
Stanford and University of California
athletes have been invited to send teams
to enter in the track events. These will
consist of 100 and 900 yard dashes, 10
yard hurdle race, 440-yard dash, putting

cycling editor of the Mercury, who calcu-
lates they shall reach Gilroy the same
night. The Tribune Cyclers of Gilroy will
take them in hand Sunday and intend to
ride with them to Paso Robes. At Santa
Barbara they will stop one day and three
days at Los Angeles. They are both good
fellows and hope our southern brethren
will treat them cordially.
l.. b. Hickok, well known in the cycle
trade OF Los Angeles, is in the sscity.=.He
says none of the dealers there can get
sufficient wheels to supply their orders.
The racers there are all training for the
big meet on July 4.
There will be an entertainment and even
ing at home at the parlors of the Imperial
Cycling Club Thursday evening, June ID,
for members only. A committee is also
arranging for an entertainment at a local
hall in the near future. ]. ]. Mcdonald
has resigned from the directorate of the
Imperials and E. w. Adams has been
elected to the vacancy. The club will run
some handicap races at the Central Park
track tomorrow morning to bring out new
racing talent. The events will be half
mile scratch, half-mile handicap and one
mile handicap. T. M. Byrne of the I'm
perials won the half-m lie scratch race at
the Portland meet Wednesday and w. C.
Howe of the same club came second in the
one-mile scratch.
The members of the Royal Cycling Club
will enjoy "blind" run tomorrow under
Lieutenant Sternberg. They were all out
on moonlight run to the beach last
Wednesday evening. The club has moved
into its new quarters, and is progressing
finely.
Charles S. Wells, the crack racer of the
Bay City Wheelmen, will attempt TO lower
the worlds five-mile road record of II 10,
over the San Mateo course. He will be
paced by some of his fellow-members on
tandems, Harry Terrill, E. Languetin, S.
B. Vincent, T. A. Grifiths, A. ]. Meme
and T. S. Hall assisting in this regard.
The necessary complement of timers and
judges will be on hand to vouch for the
trial, should it be made in record time.
He will start about P. NJ. and Captain
Dodge has announced a club run to wit
ness the event. Wells is one of the fastest
riders on the coast, and many think he
can do the trick. SPALDING.

WITH THE ANGLERS.
Why San Andreas Lake VIII Remain
Closed Until July.

Closed Until July.
The officers of the Spring Valley Water
Company, who have the giving of invita-
tions to anglers to fish on the company's
lakes, have finally concluded not to open
the San Andreas Lake until July 1. This
change was recently made. at the sugges-
ton of one of the Fish Commissioners who
is of the opinion that those men who have
made the San Andreas Lake their principal
headquarters in latter years have no re-
spect for the fish laws and would, if al
lowed to angle, catch black bass before
July 1, on which day the season for black
bass fishing will open.
1t is too bad that any member of the
Fish Commission would or should enter
tain any such opinion of the anglers who
have enjoyed many pleasant days on the
lake In question, and it goes without say
ing that as body the anglers who have
had the good fortune to receive invitations
from the water company to angle on its
preserve are gentlemen who have respected
the rules of the company and the game
and fish laws as well. AS to black bass it
is a well-known fact that during the time
the lake was open to anglers last season
there were not over thirty bass caught,
Notwithstanding that all kinds and man.
ners OF lines were employed for their cap
ture by the most skillful of fishermen.
Now, then, as to the trout. Experience
must certainly convince the directors of
the company that in the months of July
and August the trout are soft and flabby,
because OF the warmth of the water, and
consequently they cannot be expected to
make as game fight as in May and June,
when the water is cool and of the tempera-
ture suitable to trout.
The decrease in the numbers of bass of
San Andreas Lake is due to disease which
they contracted from feeding upon the lit

A NEW WHIST CLUB.
1t Will Be Organized by and Com
posed of Amateurs OnIy,

1t will be remembered by whist players
that some trouble arose in the San Fran
cisco Whist Club few weeks ago among
the members who had strenuouslv opposed
the introduction of gambling. The upshot
was that those members who played solely
for amusement resigned from the club,
and, as will be seen by the following COM
munication, copies of which have been
mailed to prominent whist-players, new
club will soon spring into existence, which
will be an amateur club in the strict sense
of the word. The card reads:
We take pleasure in informing you that we
are perfect1ng arrangements for the formation
OF new whist club in this City, and that by
the time the summer vacation is ended these
plans will be completed; rooms will be selected
ana lifted out in the most modern whist
fashion. The object of this club is to furnish a
headquarters for whist-players, and the enjoy
ment OF the game of whist pure and simple,
where the game will never be played for
money, but strictly in accordance with the
constitution and government of the American
Whist League. 1t is also formed for the pur-
pose OF advancing the knowledge of those who
are wiling to study little into the hidden
mysteries and 1ntricacies of the advanced
scientific game of whist. This feature is, or
Will be, a decided innovation in San Francisco,
ana Will soon be fully appreciated by those
game.
In course of time circular will be sent you
statlng In detail why San Francisco needs and
shouio nave a whist club formed on these
nneS, ana the benefit to be derived from active
connection with the same. Should it be your
desire TO become a charter member of such an
organization, please hand your name and adj
oress 10 any mem Der of the subjoined commit

THE BOXERS.
Clever Mahoney and Hard-Punch.
ing Anthony in Training.

ing Anthony in Training.
The Imperial Athletic Club of Colma
almost gave up the idea of giving an ex-
hibition of fsticuffs this month as good
material was hard to find. At the last
moment, however, when Del Hawkins
had concluded unwisely that the club
could not get along without him as a
star performer, Danny Mahoney put in an
unexpected appearance and inquired of
Matchmaker Frank Allen if there was
any chance of an engagement. Allen in
formed Mahoney that if he considered
himself fitting mark to go up against
Anthony, the champion bantam of Aus
tralia, the club would probably take the
matter under consideration.
Mahoney was not in the least perturbed
or alarmed when he heard of Anthony,
and quickly informed Allen that he be-
lleved himself as good if not better man
than the Australian, and would meet him
provided the latter would agree to weigh
in at the ringside at Ia pounds.
Mahoney has time and again demon
strated his ability to hold his own, that is
from scientific point of view, against the
cleverest man of the bantam class. Allen
was aware of this, but he was doubtful if
Mahoney of to-day was the Mahoney of
four years ago.
The little local bantam was given try
out with clever feather-weight, and he
not only astonished Allen, but also the
man he boxed against. Mahoney had the
better OF his opponent from start to finish
in hitting, stopping and general ring
tactics. The trial bout was quite satisfac-
tory, and as result Mahoney was matched
against Anthony, and the contest, limited
to twenty rounds, will be decided in the
Imperial Club of Colma on the evening of
the 18th inst.
The bantams will go into training i'm
medlately, and the patrons of the fistic
sport who are fond of seeing good hard
punching by clever men will not be disap-
pointed in this race between two well
drilled boxers. Anthony is probably
more aggressive in his style of lighting,
but Mahoney is full of tricks and will puz-
zle the Australian il more ways than one
when the time comes for hot exchanges
The preliminaries to the event of the even
ing will afford all who like to see hard and
rough punching good run for their
money.

upon a very successful way of getting a
good crowd of members to join in Sunday
