THE ANGLER.
A Comparison Between the MIdwin-
ter and Midsummer Anglers.

The class of anglers who are seldom
seen on the streams after the opening day of
the trout-fishing season IN April are now
anticipating some grand sport angling for
steelheads in the tide waters of coast
streams.
The so-called midwinter fishermen take
very little interest in whipping n noun
tain stream for small trout when the creeks
are clear and low. They contend that the
sport OF angling is in hooking and playing
large fish, such as the steelhead when it is
on Journey to spawning grounds. After
April the parent fishes of the small trout
that afford so much pleasure to anglers
VINO use lily only, have departed for the
sea and are not seen again until the fol-
lowing winter.
The winter angler finds no pleasure in
catching small fish, and as a matter of
course he looks upon the summer angler
as strange kind of being who does not
know what real sport is when he sees it.
The man who wades the streams in the
angling season proper takes much pleas
nre In the exercise he derives from an out
Ing IN the country at time of the year
When the trees are in bloom and the
fragrance of divers kinds of wild flowers
permeate the atmosphere. He is a lover
OF nature and is perfectly contented if he
succeeds In catching nice mess of trout.
AhO N1uIer angler mas only one OBJECT IN
view ana that is the capture of large fish.
Nature has no charms for him. He will
slt on damp clay bank for hours at a
time waiting and watching heron-like for
tnat signal which means great jov and
pleasure for him. Perhaps, after hours of
waiting, he hooks and has ten minutes
sport with steelhead, which, as a table
hsh, is not much fancied by epicures
Occasionally the winter anglers meet
with good success but in the nearby coast
streams the exception is generally the
rule. Ii the weather remains fine steel
head fishing at Point Reyes, En- barcadero,
San Gregorio and Purissima should be
tolerably fair from now until March.
The German carp is creating no end of
annoyance in the streams of the north.
L. u. farrell of Portland, Or, writes that
the carp are not only nuisance to anglers
but that they have destroyed the favorite
food of the duck. A gentleman recently
informed him that he knew of a State that
was at one time badly infested with carp,
and that by the introduction of wall-eyed
pike and pickerel the German food fish
disappeared in the space of four years after
the introduction of the pike family. 1t
would be hard to estimate the number of
pike that would be required to rid the
waters of this State of Mr.. Carp. They
are more numerous in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers than mosquitoes are in
the tules in the summer season.
The Country Club expects to have some
grand sport next summer catching land
locked salmon, which are thriving in the
lakes OF the club.

1t looks rather odd to read in the racing
boards bulletin, published to-day, that
the Southern Pacific Company has been
granted sanction to run race meet at
Santa Monica on February %. The racers
say the company conducts its meets better
than any club could and the prizes are
always up to value. l suppose the various
railroad officials serve at the race meets
Imagine some general freight agent as a
timer and a traffic manager as a Judge.
The conn pany is making considerable
money off the Santa Monica track propo-
sition, and the hope has always been en-
tertained that it could be induced to build
one somewhere i'll this vicinity.
There has been great deal of discussion
lately about new home-trainer, said to
have been invented by two Oakland young
men. One of the machines is set up in the
Acme Clubs rooms and the Bay City
Wheelmen have another. The latter club
was not satisfied with the running OF
theirs, however, and SO one of the mem
bers Is building another which will be
baH-bearlng and only two rollers. The
IDEA. however, is by no means new. John
5. Prince, the long distance champion,
had something like it, with a dial attach
ment, and exhibited it at the Orpheum in
this City and at the Auditorium in San
Jose. 1t Is now in the latter city, stow ed

Jose Road Club.

The San Jose Road Club has ten-mile

whether the roads will be sufficiently dry,
if indeed it does not rain, is question.

81, 1892, covering ,identically the same
thing which is now being offered by the
Oaklanders as something new. The article
reads:
One of the novelties exhibited at the recent
Stanley show of cycles in London was a train
ing machine devised by Swiss inventor. The
wheels of the machine rest upon rollers two
for the rear wheel and one for the front. There
is an adjustment by which the rollers can be
arranged SO as to represent loose or muddy
roads or hills A dial placed before the rider
shows the distance Travelled and the speed.
This invention of four years ago is much
more complete than the one which is
creating so much talk just now. The fault
with the one the Bay City Wheelmen have
is that 1t makes too much noise when rid
den upon-noise equal to about ten large
printing presses running together at one
time. 1t jars the houses on the block
where the clubhouse is situated, and sew
eral residents have complained. So the
club has stopped the men from training on
it until the new one beng made by Arthur
Davies can be completed, which will be
ball-bearing and improved generally 1t
will have no dial, though, nor any adjust
ment to give the impression OF bad roads

lshlng. If the time be below 2:15 let the
prize be valued at $50; 2:10 would draw out
S1o prize and 2:05 entitle the winner to
one OF $100. By this system Mr..
Gieezen claims the time made in
competition will be as fast as
is now done with pacemakers, as the
mel men will do pacing for each other.
IDe increase in the value of the prize in a
corresponding ratio with the increase in
speed will act as an inducement to the
men to light for the race from start to fin
lsh, while the prizes for intermediate dis
tances will act as a further incentive for
them to ride their best. Of course, fast
tracks will be help to this system, and
SLOW ones will work against it, but as a

II the good Quaker poet could only come back,
And cast his ~ lid eye over progress hot track,
From the maideds.that were to the maidens that be-
dh, weeping Jerusalem, what would he see?
The maiden who sat by her wheel at the door,
Isn't running that kind of a wheel any more;
She splnneth not fax by the cottage door neat;
She sraddles the wheel and goes forth the street.
The girl with the wheel in the good Quaker's day
Calm, quiet and modest, was spinning away
Where the cool waters flowed and the light zephyrs
fair
Blew the truant locks loose that had strayed from
her hair.
And her manner was tranquil, her skin lily white,
And her gown it was clean and her speech was
polite.
In short, this fair maiden, the wheel who possessed
Was pattern Of modesty, cooness and rest.
The girl with the wheel at the present goes out
Without any weak hesitation or doubt,
And in dirt and in DUST perspiration and heat,
She pushes her way mong the teams on the street.
She has large baggy trousers no bothersome skirt,
manly cravat, and coat and a shirt,
And her face becomes red she onward doth plow,
And the hot Terspration stands forth on her brow.
Oh. shades of our grandmothers, look DER the tide
Think OF your spinning the cottage beside,
Then look at these boomers this shirt and craYat,
Shades OF our ancestors, "Where are we at?"

The rowing regatta held by the Ariel
Boat Club over the Long Bridge course
last Sunday, practically ushered in the
rowing season.
The course was one-fourth of a mile
with turn, and the first race on the
programme was a single-scull race be-
tween j. 0. Wilson and II. Pless, in which
the former was the victor. Time, min

j. Hardy defeated J. McAuliff, after an
exciting race in the singles, in the fast time

ladies' annex.
William Humphreys, president of the
7. A. A. of the a. a. q. of America, is
the recipient of q letter from John E..
Budd, president of the Stockton Athletic
Association, in which he states that the
Stockton club intends to construct for the
coming year the same kind of racing
boat as is used by the University and
Olympic clubs.
He suggests that in the arranging of a
regatta by the association this season that
one day be set aside for Stockton and
preferably the Fourth of July.
Mr.. Budd favors the idea of the associa-
ton arranging programme of regattas
to take in the holidays during the year,
including Admission Day, in order that
all the clubs may conform thereto.
He further states that the Stockton Ath-
letic Association is heartily in accord with
everything that the P. A. A has done in
regard to purifying the various clubs of
professionalism.
Last year, it will be rememb bered, was
the first time since the advent of boat
rowing on this coast that the Fourth of
July celebration committee refused to
include regatta.
