The plan to restore the throne OF Zion In
Jerusalem and gather the scattered tribes again
In Palestine Is now and then exploited in DIM
visionary manner, but no leve-headed Hebrew
takes any stock In II. That Is left TO the dream
ers and ideaists OF Israel. and the pictures they
paint Of the restored glories Of the kingdom of
David and Solomon are not without poetic
beauty. though they unreal as the
mirages OF the Indian deserts. DR.. Herzl. OF
Vienna, has come hther to interest the Ameri-
can Hebrews In this scheme Of restoration. but
the most advanced and liberal-minded OF the
sect are definitely and avowedly opposed to the
Idea recognizing the practical fact that there is
nothing in the soil or environment of Palestine
to sustain a prosperous nation. The true land
OF promise is here. where the suffers no
disabilities and has a chance to make money.
Dr. Herzl will be listened to with poteness and
interest, but the American Hebrew is likely to

The California Clubs members are all
in active training for their road race on
Sunday, July 25, and a great many of
them will compete in it.
The following mention of the Terrll
brothers of this City, who are now in
training in Paris, is interesting, coming
as it does from LIE Velo, the leading cy-
cling paper there: the two Americans
have already made some progress in their
practice. They appear well musc!ed and
are especially elegant on their machines,
but they ride with the ridiculously small
gear of all their countrymen. The opin-
ion of their French comrades upon their
personal qualities is unanimous-they are
excellent fellows, genial and modest,
though Americans"
The regular monthly meeting of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs will
be held this evening at the rooms of the
San Francisco Road Club, SOB Golden Gate
avenue.
Jules F. Hancock, financial secretary of
the association, has just returned from a
five weeks trip. He wheeled from Sacra-
mento through the snowsheds and over
the mountains to Virginia City, and from
there north into Mod &c County, then
back to Virginia, to Lake Tahoe, and
down via Placerville to Sacramento. He
found considerable business for the c. A.
c. c., appointing hotels, measuring
routes for the new roadbook, and so on.
Took quite mum Der of new mem bers on
the trip, particularly in Modoc County,
and some in Virginia, New. The trip
from Reno north is through a sagebrush
country where water is scarce. and it is
dangerous to go without canteen.
He says good two weeks vacation trip
for any rider is to take the train to Sacra-
mento and ride from there to Lake Tahoe
and return. In going follow the snow
sheds. The lake can be reached in three
days wheeling from Sacramento. First
stop at Colfax next at Truckee and the
third day at the lake, the return to be
made via Placerviile, which route has
good roads, is downhill and easy riding.
One should be sure to carry a camera, as
there are many sights and views worth re-
cording. WheeImen are treated we'll
along the route, and although the trip is
inexpensive In the first place 1T can be
made more so by belonging to the associ-
alton and getting reduced hotel rates
through the medium of the mem bership
card.
Much of the success attending the meet
at Sacramento last Monday was due to
the untiring efforts of M. S. Lavenson,
chairman of the race-meet committee,
who has had long experience at the busi-
ness and is an invaluable AID in affairs of
this kind.

Some OF the active meet-giving clubs
around the bay should give early attention
to the Septem Der holidays, and secure q
sanction before the plum is gone. There
will be two holidays early in Septem Der
Monday, the 9th (Labor day., and Thurs
day, the 9th (Admission dav). Santa
Rosa will entertain The Native Sons on
the latter day. As the associated clubs
are going to put up valuable champio
ship trophies to be ridden for at the Sep
tember meetings, it would seem to be a
fortunate business proposition for the club
that secures one or the other of these
dates. Sacramento and San Jose should
not be slow to seize such an opportunity.

Colonel o'Reilly's Excursion to Chi
nese amp-Where Fish Can
Be Caught.
The annual cruise and clam stew of the
Crustacean Club VI as held last Saturday
and Sunday. Colonel O'Reilly was in
charge of the pleasure party and most
enjoyable outing was had close by the sad
sea waves of Chinese Camp, which place is
situated somewhere in the vicinity of Angel
Island.
Mr.. Laidlaw was appointed by acclama-
ton chef cook and with the exception of
one man who was seasick from the time he
saw salt water until it departed from his
sight everybody on board the good ship
"Washtub" praised the cooking of Mr..
Daidiaw to the skies.
The pleasure hunters who com posed the
party we're: Messrs. Tamm, OReiliy,
Cline, Schwartz, Gold mann. Fuller, Dur
kin. Farrell, Crowley, Laidlaw, Arnat,
Henry. Calvin, Kidd, Brooks, Moran, Clin-
ton, KIRBY. Derbin, BRUINS, Dunn, Scott
and Kennedy. .
Several splendid specimens of the Gus
tom crab were taken by the experts, and
the common fishes. such as rockcod, sea
trout and shark, afforded great sport to
the land-lubbers who never had fishing
pole in their hands before. Doubtless
Colonel O'Reilly will be called upon to
take command of such another excursion
to the teautiful Mongolian camp in the
near future.
Rockcod fishing is steadily improving
on The north shore of the bay, and it is
reported that more fish were caught last
week than at any time before this season.

Bass Fishing In Russian River-HoW
Trout Can Be Caught,

Bass Fishing In Russian RIver-How
Trout Can Be Caught,
There are thousands of health and pleas
ure seekers in the country now, many of
whom take advantage, when an oppor-
tunity offers, of casting fly or spoon into
some of the many beautiful streams of
this State which contain trout.
July, August and September are noted
as the star or banner months for the
trout-fshing season. consequently the
rush of rodmen to favorite "brooklets"
amt "riverlets'' is not TO be wondered at.
Anglers Of experience prefer the latter
months OF the season for the pleasure that
accrues from the pastime. because the
fishes are then in fine condition and make
a game and most stubborn resistance
in flight for freedom. They are
wary, too, and will test the anglers
skill, as only the most artistic hand
ling OF a rod and the soft drop OF fly on
the clear and sparkling stretch OF m oun-
tain stream will Tempt "a whopper" from
his sheltered home under n projecting log
or bowider to interview the passing hook
that is covered by an artistic dress of
fancy feathers which generally initiates
nothing in the way of insect life.
But trout, like many women, have pc
culiar whims, and they do like fancy
feathers-anything gauzy, In fact, Will
stir game fish or catch the eye OF the
new woman.
The inexperienced anglers prefer the
early months of the fishing season, as
then the trout are small ana foolish and
will not be scared by man or rod. Any
old fly or worm will be acceptable to the
juvenile trout of April Or May. Conse-
quently, large mum bers of tingerlings are
creeled in those months. When the trout
grow wise and cunning anglers grow per-
ceptibly scarce, as the capture OF n n
when streams run low and clear will tax
the cunning of an experienced f1y-caster.
Good baskets of trout of nice size can be
taken from several coast streams now
that is, if anglers will only remem Der that
they must not allow their shadow to pre-
cede them. and when casting dextrous
handling of the rod is very necessary to
success.
If trout will not take flies of any kind,
try them with spoon, worm, shrimp
or o small piece of fishbait. 1t will be
very stubborn trout indeed that turns tail
upon one or the other of the lures men,
toned.
Some nice bass were caught in Russian
River last Saturday and Sunday. but bass
fishing will not be good until September
and October. The stomachs OF the bass
that were taken contained nothing In the
way of food which is evidence that they
are still looking out for their young. One
angler caught three bass on q large fly by
trolling it through the water. The lures
used principally for bass are small hard
mouths, so called, and a Wilson spoon.
The minnows must be handled in snch
manner through the back fin as not to kill
them. A dead minnow is OF no account.
Trout-fishing in the Truckee River con-
tinues to be good. Some late reports of
catches made are daily looked for.
