GOOD FLY FISHING ON TRUCKEE RIVER

The June issue of the American Angler published by William C. Harris at New York, is replete with bright angling news that will interest all lovers of the pastime. An article on the rainbow trout is especially interesting. It Is a reply from thatawell-known angler. J. R. Moore to loose and misleading statements writ fen by General John McNulta on the rain bow and its inferiority as representa- tive of the game family of fresh water fishes. Sufficient to say that Mir. Moore. who has fished the great trout rivers of this State, landed the general very skill fully without the aid of net
 The black bass taken from the lakes at .Ten1escal and Benicia by Deputy Fish Commissioners recently have been planted in lakes near Watsonvlle, where the game fishes are expected to wax strong and fat.
 John Gallagher is still enjoying good black bass fishing on Russian River.
 Al Cummings recently returned from the Truckee River. He hshed near Verdi and had remarkably good luck, landing. on an average, thirty pounds of fish a day. Owing to the extremely low state of the river this year the fly fishing. is good from Boca to Reno, and doubtless the sport will continue first class until the arrival of the winters snow.
 Editor Trmesdeli of the San Leandro Standard calls the sporting editors at tention to an article which appeared on fhe date of July 2. It reads:
 The attention of J. D. Mckenzie. Same. Warden of Santa Clara County. Is hereby vehemently directed to the con stant and open violation of the fish law in his county. Thousands of small striped bass are being caught in the vicinity of A1viso without the slightest attempt at concealment The law expressly states that these fish shall not be kept when un- der three pounds in weight. Game War den Mckenzie, 1t is stated spends much of his time in San FraDcisco and little in the discharge of his official duties It is said that he has, made only one arrest in four years, while open violations of the game and. fish laws are being constantly made in all parts of the county, whose game he Is paid s125 month to protect. MT Mckenzie has either of two very graceful things to do-either make some show of performing his duties or resign. "
 "Chaplain'' Terry, who recently re- turned from several weeks camp in Men docino County, reports that he enjoyed good fishing. and that on the homeward trip he captured two large steelheads in Pieta Creek, one of which scaled 515 pounds.
 Frank Marcus had splendid trout fishing a few weeks ago in the east fork of the Austin River. He states that in the deep pools fish as large as six pounds can be seen He landed one five-pounder.

COAL EMBARGO RAISED.
Many of the Restrictions Regarding
 Its Shipment Removed.

The following instructions were received from the Treasury Department by the Custom House Inspectors yesterday:

The export of coal to Spain or the Span ish possessions is prohibited, but coal may be cleared as above to ports of places in the possession of the military or naval forces of the United States.
 If, however, in any special instance, you have reason to apprehend that the coal may be destined. directly or indirectly, for the enemies of the United States, you will withhold clearance and communicate promptly with the department

 There Is every reason to believe that when the crack shots from the East come out here they will find more good shots than they had any idea of meeting. When East recently they dlu some fine work, and that. too, under adverse conditions. D. w. Mclaughlin who has just come back states that 1t takes several days to get the motion of the train out of the body, and when in the shooting stand the swaying of the cars Is felt For all that they upheld the honor of the State. This Is shown by a letter from F. o. Young. who, after telling of the success of Will Hayes, the crack Eastern shot, says: Mclaughlin was high on the standard target with 4S He also made 93 on the man target and T on the ring target and 335 on the king I made 332 on the king ' MT. Young is one ot the most enthusi- astic members of the Columbia Club and he could not resist the tempta- ton to arrange for a match with volver shooting clubs in the East. He and J. E. German of the same local club vis- ited the Brooklyn Revolver Club and of their visit he writes: "Get ready for a re- volver match with them on the Columbia target In the fall, 20 yards, five or six men" few days later he and German went to the Walnut Hill range, near Bos- ton.

The fouling of the Pioneer boat by the South Ends in the senior barge event last Sunday, and the long lead gained by the Alamedas in conseqeunce, deprived the spectators of the pleasure of seeing a fine race from the stakes home between the South Ends and the Alamedas. The South Ends had a good lead at the turn, and say that they were rowing well with In themselves. It Is highly probable that they would have given the Alamedas a hard struggle.
 At the semi-monthly meeting of the South End Rowing Club last Tuesday five applications for membership were received, two being from men who have rowed in the East, an6 who should be good material for a junior crew. It is proposed to get up a match race between the Alameda senior crew and the Mid gets" J. Foley, last years junior cham pion, will enter the senior single shell race.

 PREPARING FOR
 THE NATIONAL FEST.

The big shoot of the National Schuet- zen Bundfest at Glendale, N. Y, is still the chief topic of conversation among To- cal riflemen. The interest is greater than usual because of the fact that the next festival, in 1901 is to be held in this city. It will be some time before any very act i've work is done in the line of preparing for this eventt but the members of the local clubs will not remain idle. There are committees to form and a plan of action to lay out and change from time to time as new conditions arise. The first to be done is to organize the clubs. At the present time there are only two clubs members of the bund-the San Francisco Schuetzen Club and the Columbia Pistol and Rife Club. All of the other shooting organizations. about two dozen In this city and adjoining towns, will have to be- come members and get in touch with the spirit and history of the national body. Within the next month or so there are likely to be number of meetings of the

LOCAL KENNEL MEN

Of course the local kennel fancy is much wrought up over the meeting held at the Occidental Hotel on Wedneseday last, and It's somewhat unexpected con clusion. The chief topic of discussion is the strength developed by H. T. Payne. who practically dominated the meeting with his proxies.

 The members of the San Francisco Ken nel Club, which was the body initiating the convention, are much disgruntled at the result. An interview with the secre- tary discloses the fact that the report of the vote to be sent to the American Ken nei Club Will be accompanied by mi- nority report, now in course of drafting There Is no earthly prospect of inducing the A. K. c. to revert to the old rules. but there is possibility that the minor ity report, signed as it will be by the rep resentatives of the best element in Pacific Coast ,dogdom, will induce the A. K. c. to modify the present rules so as to give our country shows a chance for life Of course Payne is extremely jubilant over hls success, but even those among his op- ponents who share his views and syn1pa- thize with his desire for an independent Pacific Coast League, claim that his re- cent action can but tend to defer their realization indefinitely

MEXICAN GIRLS IN THE BATH

In AGnus Calientes some Moses of

town was named after it, and the
natives bless the Father of Waters
every day of their lives. Bathing

the result is shining bodies Of bronze
and as good many square inches
of skin are on exhibition in Mexico

Imagine 800 natives of all ages
and both sexes calmly bathing i'll an
open ditch, with such privacy as the
blue heavens and the republic of
Mexico afford. There are two sec
tons q them, those who have some
thing on and those who have not,
and they splash around in their bath
as unconcerne1 as a baby or il ca
nary in il porcelain dish. Their AN
cestors bathed in the long ditch
where the water lies blue and little
putfs of steam arise, and why not
they? What though the Mexican
Central did lay its parallel bands of
steel within Il stones throw of their
hereditary baths That is the rail
roads fault, not theirs. And so
they splash joyously in their ditch
and disport themselves along tho
bank in every conceivable state of
dishnbille.
We reached Aguas Calientes at

curious to see the place that the sun

town bearing bundles of clothes on

is abllndantly clad. For extra wrap
there is the serape, and to see the

see mater familias bathing her

babies, when cleansed, are laid On
the bank to dry, where they kick
