touched the surface before it was seized by
the voracious epicure of the brook. With
admirable patience he hunted among the
grass for the "bon bouche," which was the
piece de resistance of this obstinate gour-
met. The first one he caught and dropped
on the surface of the pool the trout rose to
and took with avidity. 1t would be pleas
ant to record, after this intelligent labor,
the landing of big fish, bur the unpleas-
ant fact remains that the acknowledgements
lost a trout, certainly through no fault of
his own, but because of big piece of drift
wood, around which on the first dash the
trout fouled the line. Still the efficacy of
dabbing with the natural fly was demon
strated, and next to the long cast there is
no more interesting or delightful method
OF fishing.
Sport on the Truckee, though early this
season, has been good, or at least has
made a good beginning. Aleck Hamilton
and Carey Friedlander had some good re-
suits on this stream last week, but the
water is still too heavy for steady fly
fishing.
The big lagoon that comes in at Gioli's
milk ranch, near the Point Bonita light
house, has been filled with salmon and
steelheads this year, but none have been
taken with the rod and line. Here IS
chance Tor fishing club to make good
preserve. With some slight expense as
nice piece of water as any IN the vicinity
of San Francisco might be secured ana
stocked. A stream which flows all the
year round empties into the lagoon from
the head of the valley. This is posi-
bility which will give lots of sport some
day to those who cultivate II.

NO CHANGE IN THE POUND,
III cDonough's Petition Is Denied-A
Supply Contractor Wants to Throw
Up His Job.

At the meeting of the Health and Police
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday morning, the petition of Patrick
McDonough asking for the contract of the
City Pound was denied. McDonough of
fered to perform the duties of poundkeeper
without expense to the City. The Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty 10 Animals,
which is now in charge of the pound, en-
tered strong protest, which was listened
to by a majority of the committee. Su-
pervisor King was in favor of McDonough
on the ground of economy, but his con-
freres voted down the proposition.
Sheriff Whelan had communication
before the committee complaining that the
supplies furnished to the County Jail by
Hugo Goldsmith were not up to the re-
quirements of his contract and that many
had been rejected.
Goldsmith appeared and asked to be re-
leased from his contract, as owing to lack
of experience he was unable to carry it out
This the committee refused to do, but they
agreed to recommend an assignment of his
contract to the Pacific Marine and Supply
Company on the filing of proper bond
1t was decided to report against covering
the patrol wagons, as the police objected
to it.

w. G. Grace and His LaurelS and
Other Miscellaneous Notes.

The center figure of entire cricketdom
just now is the English champion, w. G.

tuted by the London Daily Telegraph
caught on like wildfire and promises to
swell into quite a fortune. And if ever
cricketer merited mark of public esteem
"W. g." is undoubtedly the man. re-
member seeing him at the Oval a score of
years ago and figuring that his cricket
days were drawing to close. Yet since
then he has held his own with hands
down and established a record which is
not likely to be broken. This very season
he has made 1000 runs in eight innings, in
frst-class matches and has completed his
hundredth century. Twice has he taken
all ten wickets in an inning, feat that
has only sixteen parallels. And he is still
well in the ring.
Here is an instance of the excitement
that reigned in London during the prog
ress of his big inning in the recent
Gloucester Middlesex match. The colossal
swindler, Jabez Balfour, was on trial at
the time. A prosecution witness was Civ
ing most damning testimony in court, but
it seemed not to interest the prisoner a
little bit. He was peering round among

inquired audibly, "HoW many has Grace
made? ?"
Eastern cricket is attracting more atten-
ton than ever, and although there have
been no very large scoring, the standard OF
playing has improved.
The resting place of the Halifax cup for
the season of 1866 was virtually decided
June 90, when Germantown defeated Bel
mont by the score of % 1.-TWO wickets) to go.
At Philadelphia, June %, All New York
beat Germantown, $50 to 148; Delaware
beat Moorestown, 154 to 81; Wayne beat
Lansdowne, 113 to 81, and Germantown
second beat Belteld, 131 to 90.
Coming to local items, the formation of
a new club at Mills Valley is an indication
of the games progress. They are about to
lay concrete wicket and will soon be
ready TO enter the association.
AS in the East, the scoring has been
lower than usual. Hood and Sloman of
the Alamedas and J. C. Robertson of the
CALIFORNIA; are the only men who, in cup
matches, have approached the century
notch.
In the race for the cup the champions
and Bohemians are neck and neck. They
meet tomorrow at Klinknerville for a
battle royal, while the Pacifics and Cali
fornias will do fight at Alameda.

SEA FISHING.
Where Anglers Should Try Their
Luck for Striped Bass.

Wnef0 Anglers oI1OhlQ Try lIlGlF
Luck for Striped Bass.
Fishing continues good on the north
shore, and during the past week some very
large catches have been made on all the
principal fishing-grounds from California
City to the Lime Point fog-whistle.
On Monday George Coleman, the we'll
known angler, and two companions caught
eighty-tive pounds of red rockcod at Point
Cavallo, the largest weighing three and a
half pounds and five of them over two
pounds each.
On the same day Fred Manson and
friend caught about sixty pounds of red
and blue rockcod between Lime Point and
Sugarloaf Rock, the largest blue rockcod
weighing two and three-quarter pounds.
The tomcods are coming into the bay in
large numbers, and good catches of these
fish have been made during the week on
the Sausalito fishing banks. The best
place to catch these fish is about 300 yards
off shore, on the banks extending from the
tide-gauge to the Sausalito ferry landing.
The depth of water varies from twenty to
forty feet, and the hooks used are generally
No. or No. 6 gut hooks, with morsel
worms for bait. Considerable numbers Of
kingfish and a few founders are also
caught in the same place. On Tuesday

over 200 tomcods and kirgfish in few

HORSE-TAMING MATCH.
Professor Gleason to Try for $500 q
Central Park.

IIOtcssOr OIeasoH W ATy loT 9OOU Ab
Central Park.
On Sunday afternoon at Central Park
there promises to be very exciting ex-
hibition of horse-training. Professor o. r.
Gleason, the Ang OF horse-tamers as he is
called, has made match with George s.
Switzer, local horseman, for $500, the
conditions being that Gleason must break,
train and drive to harness in four-wheeled
wagon, to the satisfaction of the judges,
three horses that Switzer will furnish.
They must all be driven in two hours to
win the wager. Switzer lost similar
wager with the professor at the Mechanics
Pavilion a few weeks ago, when he claimed
he should have won and at best only lost
on technicality!w However, he says he
has left no stone unturned to produce three
horses this time with which to win the
money.
Gleason, himself, has the utmost con-
fdence in his own ability to subdue any,
thing in the way of horsefesh that can be
produced in California. With both sides
feeling confident of winning the contest
must be exciting and will be followed with
great interest by the sympathizers of both
parties.

Twas 10000. About the latter part of
August 100000 cutthroat trout will be dis
tributed in the streams of this county.
Dove-shooting is at its height and several
fine bags have been exhibited by parties
returning from trips to the foothills back
of Gilroy. Frank E. Brockhage and AL
Schilling returned from a hunting trip
with fifty-three doves one day during the
week. Messrs. Vail of San Francisco and
Powell and Graham of Los Gatos killed
seventy-fve doves last Tuesday IN the hills
above Los Gatos.
