THE WHEELMEN.

The Associated Clubs Decision In
Relay Trouble Is Satisfactory.
Judging by the vote which was cast, As
to 2, more satisfactory or nearly unani-
nous decision could hardly be reached
than that which was rendered by the
board of governors of the California Asso-
ciated Cycling Clubs Thursday night
when they decided that the Bay City
Wheelmen had not violated the rules OF
the relay race. and therefore overruled the
decision of the referee, at the end of the
sixth station, l. Percy Mills. The two
negative votes were cast by Joseph a.
Desimone and S. G. Tompkins of the Gar
den City Cyelers, and the former when
voting arose and apologized for his vote,
stating that he only cast it that way be-
cause he felt in duty bound to sup
port the referee; only, however, because
he was member of his own
club. When it came TO deciding
the question as to whether or not the Bay
City Wheelmen had violated the rule re-
quiring riders to belong to a club sixty
days before the race, when it put J. G.
Williamson and G. 4. Kraft on its team,
the vote was loud and unanimous in favor
of the club, and the motion incorporated
in it clause that it was the sense of the
meeting that the Bay City Wheelmen had
won the relay race of 1896 in fair, sports
manlike manner, and were entitled to the

morning paper that coursing stake will
be held at Newark to-day under the au-
spices of the Interstate Club is declared
by the organization to be erroneous. The
date of the next meeting of the club has
not yet been decided upon.
The sale OF saplings on March q in Lon
sands of dollars worth of greyhounds that
have come under the hammer there
afforded strong evidence that coursing
continues to gain popularity in the United
Kingdom. Not far short of a hundred
sapiings were sold, and in most cases al
good prices. Proceedings were commenced
by the sale OF a white and red dog by Coffee
Hot, Rebus, for $685. and the climax was
reached when $525 was paid for a red dog
by Herschel, Raven. Two wen-known
breeders in Captain Percy Hope J ohnstone
and Thomas Graham did well, the former
realizing $4,000 for his lot of seven young
sters and the latter $3.50 for like mum ber
Another capital average was made by
John Hedley's litter of five by Tankerville
II, Harpstring, which brought $1325, or
$500 apiece, lawn dog making $500.

THE FIELD OF SPORT.
What the Oarsmen, Athletes and
Cyclists Are Doing.

The stormy weather OF the past few days
has placed heavy damper on many out
door sporting events, which were booked
for the near future.
The wheelmen have been completely
knocked out. The runs slated for to-mor-
row and they were many-have been
postponed until the return of favorable
weather.
The athletes of Stanford and Berkeley
universities will meet this afternoon at the
Olympic Club grounds, and If the weather
is at all favorable, some splendid perform
ances will be recorded.
The much-talked-of baseball match be-
tween teams representing the University
club and University of California will be
contested this afternoon at Central Park.
The very latest news concerning angling,
rife and trap shooting, coursing, yachting,
rowing, handball, cycling, boxing and gen.
eral athletics will be found under their re-
spectiYe headings.

San Carlos course, has been postponed one
week, as the road will not be in good con-
dltlon after the recent heavy storm. The
| delay will give some of the flyers chance
for further training. Among those whose
chances are rosy for prize in the race
might be mentioned Butz, Blake, Coffroth,
Cooney, Conroy, Smith, Stinson, Rodolph,
Morel, Coffey, Mulvey and several others,
whose names | cannot recall.
Most of the Eastern riders will join the
National circuit at st. Louis, training
prior 10 that time at Louisville. Ziegler,
Cooper, Gardiner and a score of other
cracks are now there. and the Fountain
Ferry track presents an animated appear
ance afternoons. Coulter, the big Olym-
plan, will start with the circuit here and
follow it East. He is riding in splendid
shape now and will lead the percentage
tables of the circuit from the start.
Chris f. Ecklon is regarded among the
wheelmen of Sacramento as one of the
best road riders in the State. and they
hope to be able to say the same of him for
his track riding. He is 22years of age and
weighs 1876 pounds. On the road he rides
a whesl geared to 120. He is all bone and

these he has to be pretty fast.
The Alameda Cyclers had q run called
for tomorrow to Centerville, but Captain
Dodd wisely postponed it one week. Next
Monday evening the club will install its
newly elected officers with much ceremony
and an impromptu banquet will follow.
Watch any half dozen cyclists as they
pass and you will see that five of them do
not know how to pedal properly. If they
had but slight knowledge of the proper
method of foot motion, with the same ex-
penditure of power they could accomplish
far greater results.
The art in pedaling is to push the pedal
more than half the circle, taking care to
lift the foot Immediately it has done its
effective work, so as not to burd en- the

angling from the pen of Professor Aeassiz.
Henry Skinner of E. I. Alien & CO., who
is the champion long-distance hycaster of
the coast, gave very interesting discourse
on the proper method of holding the rod

Fish Commissioners and the good service
they have accomplished in the past few
years. He favored taxing guns and rods
at nominal figure. James Watt related
deep hole in Paper-mill Creek, near To-
caloma, from which he landed 31S-pound
steelhead.
The question of having the reel placed
two inches from the butt of the rod was
argued at length by members. The con-
sensus OF opinion was that the reel as it
rests now when in position is too close to
the butt and must necessarily interfere
with the angler when he is handling
large fish. To prevent possible accident
the angler must hold the rod with the
left hand well out from the body when
play IuS q ISL dlu reel up SldCk line with
the right hand. By this awkward method
very little command of the rod can be had.
and especially if the fish is large and
game fighter. If on the other hand the
rod was constructed in such a manner
that the reel could rest a few inches
from the butt, the angler then would
have full command of the rod and easily
handle the reel without the least incon-
venlence or fear of accident.
The following committee was appointed
to confer with the Fish Commissioners:
A. B. Finch, j. II. eammi and w. A.
Cooper. The gentlemen will interview
the Commissioners and see what provi-
sions have been made, if any, with the
object In view of stocking coast streams
with trout fry. The club is of the opinion
that the streams which are whipped most
require stocking at least once year.
The Multnomah Rod and Gun Club of
Portland, Or, Is making extensive prepar-
atlons for hy-casting tournament, which
will be held in the near future. 1t has
been suggested that the San Francisco
Rod and Gun Club enter team of six men
to compete against like number of men
In casting tournament for accuracy and
delicacy some time during the summer
months. The contests may be held at
either place, as the expense of travel to or
from Portland is very nominal now. In
terstate competition will assuredly give
hy-castlng great boom. Nothing like
giving it trial.
1t is reported on pretty good authority
that Lake Pilarcitos will not be opened to
the angling fraternity this season. The
directors OF the Spring Valley Water Com
pany are thinking of opening the San An

The following letter to THE CALL from
the secretary of the Reliance Gun Club is
self-explanatory:

scheduled to take place on the last Sunday OF
April, mas Deen postponed until further notice.
Yours respectfully, r. G. ELDER,
Secretary Reliance Gun Club.
Among the ladies of Oregon who take
an interest in rifle-shooting and in out
ings in the mountains where small and
large game is plentiful is Mrs Phoebe
Filcher OF Warrendale, Multnomah
County. The reader will note by refer
ence to the illustration which accompa-
nies this department that Mrs. Filcher is
joined in one OF her pleasure trips in the
mountains by Mrs. Felix Gum binner,
who is most successful angler and also a
sketch artist of considerable note
During an outing the ladies enj joyed last
summer in the woods of Multnomah
County, Mrs. Filcher shot four brown
bears and one cinnamon. The last one of
the ''varmints'' proved very ugly Gus
toner. After being wounded by the first
shot it turned on its pursuer, and fell at
the second discharge of the Winchester
when not more than ten yards from where
the lady stood. Mrs. Filcher and Mrs.
Gum binner are now making preparations
for an extended outing with rod and rifle
in the wilds of Northern Oregon
The following colloauy occurred recently
at bluerock shoot which was held at the
Oakland track:
"How are you all, to-day?" asked the trigger
OF his associates.
"Oh, I'm broke" replied the gun.
Ppm sort OF busted, too" replied the she'll

piped in the hammer.
"a little strained at times" quoted the main

"I get gripped SO often i feel like cable

Then they all got together and started out on
a hunt for the man VINO said he intended to
wipe EN- all off.
Everybody is aware of the fact that
President Grover Cleveland has been a
remarkably successful duck hunter, but
