Names and Crews Of the Clubs En-
tered for the Stockton Regatta.
Things are rapidly assuming proportions
for the Stockton regatta to De held on July
on the Stockton channel, both among
the local boat clubs and the Stockton
Athletic Association, under whose aus
pices the affair is to be held.
The races will commence promptly at 10
o'clock and the programme of events with
the corrected entries up to date are as fol-
lows:
Senior four-oared barge, South End
Club-Henry Bode, bow; Bob Macarthur,
forwardwaist and captain; Gus Carson,
afterwaist; Frank Duplissea, stroke, and
George McGrill, cockswain.
Pioneer Rowing Club-Fred Orr, bow
and captain; Coney Ochs, forwardwaist; /;
George Colloky, afterwaist; John Clifford,
stroke, and George FitZsimmons cock
swain.
Stockton Athletic Association-Carkeek
bow; Spencer, forwardwaist; Swift. after
waist; Davis, stroke, and Doc Flynn,
cockswain.
In the junior four-oared barge the South
End Club will, in all probability, enter the
same crew that made such good shown G
against the Stockton giants at the recent
El Campo regatta.
The personnel of the crew is as follows: !:
Al Fritz bow and captain; Mat Breen,
forwardwaist; James Pallas, afterwaist ;
Ed Scully, stroke and George McGrill,
cockwain.
The Pioneers have two crews in training
tor this event, and try-out race will be
held some evening during the week, and
the winners will go to Stockton.
The crews that will race in trial are as
follows: R. Collopy, stroke; Ed Faulkner,
afterwaist; Phil TUFTS, forwardwalst; w.

stroke; j. KluEder, afterwaist; M. Callan,
forward waist; T. Sands, bow and captain,
and DOC" Flynn, cockswain.
The Ariel Club will have no entry in
this event or in the senior event. A crew
had been in training for the junior race,
but for some reason it has been dis
banded.
The Alameda Boat Club will enter a
crew in the junior event if the Stockton
Athletic Association will tender it the use
OF It's old racing barge.
As the Aiamedas have no suitable rae

Large Trout Are Now Being Caught
In the Big Sulphur Creek.

Large Trout Are Now Being Caught
In the Big Sulphur Creek.
This is the season of the year when the
anglers skill is thoroughly tested.
The trout are now of good size and un-
like the babies that are caught by tyros
in angling in April and May with any
kind of lure, the Jnly and August fishes
are "up to snuff and will not be fooled
by every Tom, Dick and Harry who goes
a-fshing.
"The fymen" are now enjoying right
good sport. Owing to the late season of
rains several good sized trout have "re-
mained over" but to catch the artful
dodg, rs an angler must employ all the
cunning and skill that is known only to
men of experience.
Reports have been received from several
quarters that there are no fish in the
streams. Those reports come from the
inexperienced anglers, who have much to
learn of the art OF catching trout when
the fishes have grown.to be wise and eau
tious. 1t was only of recent date that
well-known disciple of the craft returned
from Lagunitas Greek with a basket that
was fairly well filled with trout of good
size. He said that there were at least
dozen stream-slashers who were in ad-
ney, when baskets were compared, the
expert, with pardonable pride, exhibited a
creel of good-sized fish, much to the aston
ishment and disgust of his brother anglers
whose baskets contained only tingerlings.
Explanations followed and the expert
enced angler gave his friends bit of ad-
vice. He said:
Remem Der, boys, that you represent pretty
good sized object when tramping In stream
A trout in clear water is as shy as any fox that
ever lived, and once denizen of q deep pool

AS all sportsmen who have predilec-
tion for duck-shooting are aware that the
royal canvasback of the far North is a
most cunning bird at times the following
interesting letter from Portland (Or J
sportsman will prove assuredly interesting
to many.
The writer says that on calm DAYS a
"jigger" must be used to insure good
shooting, and he explains what "jigger"
is in his wise:
One day while journeying to our hunting
grounds a discussion arose as to ducks and the
various methods OF alluring them. From Mr..
Scoggins, who, by the way, is one of the most
successful canvasback-shooters of the North
west, l learned of the ''jigger." Drawing
from his pocket bundle OF string and rubber
bands, he explained that by their use he fre-
quently turned defeat into victory.
"When the water is placid" said he "the
birds will not decoy, for, seeing so many
decoys sitting motioness, suspicion enters
their heads. Why, have seen birds make q
dash at decoys, and when they noticed the
entire absence of motion go off with appara mt
fright. When the wind tails me / wade out
among the decoys and fix a strong stick into
the mud and beneath the surface of the water.

There have been several surprises in
cycling lately, but none have created as
much talk as the announcement just made
public that SANFORD Plummer, captain,
and Horace P. Howard, secretary, OF th e
Bay City Wheelmen, have resigned their
respective offices, though not from the
club itself. RumoT had it that there was
something back of the matter, but this is
unlikely or they would not have remained
with the club. Plummer is out Of
town a GOOD deal and Howard is not in
very good health, and both felt they could
not give their offices the requisite amount
of attention. George z. Caldwell, first
lieutenant, has been promoted to the cap
taincy, and George f. Dixon elected to
fill his old position as heuten ant Harry
Larkin was elected secretary. Captain
Caldwell has called a run for to- morrow to
San Mateo by way of Uncle Toms Cabin
and the Spring Valley lakes, leaving the
clubhouse at $3.50 A. NJ. This is 4 very

RESOLUTIONS.

Following are the resolutions ad-
opted by the Territorial Demo
cratic convention held at Phoenix
June 9Th, 1896:
Resolved: That we, the Demo
cratic party of Arizona, in conven'
ton assembled, repudiate the tinan-
cial policy of the present national
administration.
We endorse the language used
bv John G.. Carlisle in 1878, when
he denounced the conspiracy to
destroy silver as a standard OF
money, as "the most gigantic crime
of this or any other age" we
agree with HIM in the declaration
then made, that "the consumatIon
of such a scheme would ultimately
entail more misery Oh the human
race than all the wars; pestilence
and famines that have ever occurred
in the history of the world"
We are not willing to be parties
of such crime, and in order to
undo the wrong already done, and
to prevent further rise of the dol
lar, we favor the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l, as
such coinage existed prior to 1873,
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. Such
gold and silver to be full legal
tender public and private.
We are opposed to the retire.
ment of the greenback, and de-
mand that the secretary of the
treasury, instead of issuing interest
bearing bonds.for the purchase OF
gold, shall recognize silver as a
money of redemption, and ex-
-ercise the right to redeem green
back, treasury notes, and all other
obligations in silver, when silver is
more convenient.
Resolved: That our delegates
to the national convention be, and
they are hereby instructed TO vote
as unit and to vote only for free
coinage candidates for nomination
for president and vice-president.
Resolved: That we the Demo
cratic party in convention assembl-
ed, demand the immediate admis-
sion of Arizona to the sisterhood of
states, and that we urge our dele
gate in congress to use his best
mdeavors to that end.

Chas. A. Nesbitt is also engaged

son Thomas as his first lieutenant.
During the time of cattle shipments
from Geronimo, his saloon doors
were not closed for thirty days,
and receipts averaged $50 per day.
That denotes success if anything
does.
Geronimo is headquarters for

already three hundred men. AS
soon as official notice is given of
the opening of these mineral lands,
it is expected that grand rush
will be made, and that fully a
thousand men will go in within
thirty days.
Geronimo owes its existence to
the G. V. G.. & N. railroad. 1t
would scarcely be possible to over
estimate the benefits which have
arisen from the building of this
road. The future greatness of the
country through which it passes
will owe it debt of gratitude.
As soon as the reservation right OF
way question is satisfactorily set
tied, the road will push on to
| Globe, and the whole country will
boom in consequence thereof
| The courtcousness of the officials
of this road is very marked, and
they are all subject to compliments
from their patrons. The people
along the line are appreciative to a
degree Of the vast benefits that
have accrued to them through the
advent Of this modern adjunct tc
travel, and will undoubtedly LEND
it their unstinted support in al

in making the people of Graham

Each of them is interested In min
ing and the development of Ari-
zona's mining resources and, as a

has always been raised for free sill
