ALL ABOUT FISH
 AND TROUT STREAMS.

Fly fishing on the McCloud River is about over, as the salmon have entered the stream and that means only bottom fishing for trout until next September.
 Tom Flynn and other anglers, who are fond of heavyweight sport, will try their LUCK this month on the McCloud at sal mon nsh1ng. The salmon will take spoon or large, gaudy fly and battles or an hour and more are common; fre- quently the King of the river cleans the angler out of all line and tackle
 Flsn commissioner Vogelsang states that the Taper Mill, or, rather, the head water, waters of Lagunitas Creek. will posi- tively pc stocked with thousands of trout fry before the end of July. Anglers ap- prec1ate anything that the Commission CTS Will do looking to their future pleas ure.

When the nautical observer opened the cage in which the beauties were lying in wait for the pan he found them so strong that they leaped out of his hand on sight.

W. S. Goodfellow's schooner La Paloma of the Pacific and San Francisco clubs has left her moorings near the house of the latter and gone on long cruise in southern waters. D. A. Witsee's schooner Aggie sailed in "the channel last Satur- day. The Pacific programme has a cruise to Quarry Cove set down for to-day, and a cruise in squadron under signal from the flagship for tomorrow.
 When Dr. T. l.. Hill accepted the office of commodore of the San Francisco Yacht Club for 1898 the support of the officers and members was cordially promised to him. The commodore set down upon his programme few cruises, but hoped that these would be well attended. For June a cruise to McNear's Landing with dance in the pavilion there was appointed. The afternoon and evening were glorious; full moon shed her. brightness, and the air was warm and summerlike. Yet, not withstanding these favorable conditions, not a single yacht followed the flagship Cygnus from Sausalito. The vice-com- modore went off to dinner the secretary and treasurer to cricket match and the rest of the officials, who at a dinner on the previous evening had enthusiastically

REUNION AND
 REGATTA AT LONG BRIDGE.
4 < 4 < < 4 4 4 4 4 4 <

Twenty-Five or more years ago Long Bridge was a favorite resort of the in habitants of San Francisco for purposes of bathing, yachting and rowing. The first yachts seen on the bay were an- chored off Long Bridge, and near it were cafes, refreshment houses and saltwater baths. The first yacht races were held, and in 1868 the first attempt was made to organize a yacht club, and provide 1t with quarters at Long Bridge. Though the yachtsmen have deserted the old Bridge for about quarter of a century in favor of the more attractive shores of Marin County, Long Bridge has always remained an important rendezvous of the oarsmen and scullers. But it is now about to follow other old landmarks of the city into oblivion. Before the fa- miliar object disappears a general reun- ion of the boating clubs on the bay will be held there tomorrow. The Pioneers. Ariels and South Ends will throw their quarters open to the rowing men; the Dolphin Boat Club will send over several crews, and the Tritons, who rarely make public appearances, will row over to do honors to the occasion.

 Ziegler Is, however. a most tricky fel- low, who cannot be depended upon. He did not leave a good impression on the sporting fraternity of this city
 McKeever met the cratic Griffo twice. In April, 1896. he fought the Australian twenty rounds, the contest being declared in his favor, and on September ', 1897. they fought fifteen rounds at Athens, Pa., which bout was declared a draw
 Mcconnell met Griffo in the Olympic Club of this city and the large number of very highly of the local boxer, whose de- fense was particularly clever. It Is said, however, that Griffo did not extend him self on this occasion and good judges did not hesitate to say after the mill that Griffo fought to lose by a small margin, as he had an object in view.
 beyond argument that he Is made of the right stuff, and should give a very good account of himself in the best of com pany. The San Franciscan Is training at Blanken's Six Mile House, under the care of Greggains, and his opponent Is located at the Ocean Beach. The pre- liminary to this fight will consist of a ten-round contest between Young Peter
  case a decision cannot be rendered at the end of the tenth round the pugilists must fight on until an award can be given.
 Amateur boxing clubs will do well to remember in future that the police ser geants who will be detailed to look after fistic entertainments will insist upon pad ding being placed under the hard ring floors, that are now covered only by a thin carpet. A hint to the wise should be sufficient.

SCRAPS OF NEWS
 FROM THE KENNELS.

Two of the most important speciality clubs of the coast are scheduled to hold their monthly meeting tonight.
 The Pacific Mastiff Club will probably elect a delegate to the American Kennel Club to succeed Erastus Hamilton, who has, by reason of his non-attendance at, the American Kennel Club meetings. be- come persona non grata to the club he represents. It is understood that Dr. c. A. Longest of Boston, the great mastiff breeder, has been aptly selected as the best fitted to represent the local club.
 The Pacific Fox Terrier Club has mass of accumulated business to digest, have been much occupied with bench show affairs, it Is quite likely that the meeting will be postponed until next Sat urday. Some unnecessary excitement has been aroused by the comments made bv some alleged sporting scribes on the charges made by Colonel c. B. Knocker comments display a total ignorance of kennel matters on the coast and more particularly of the workings of the Amer ican Kennel Club. The facts of the case are these: The Pacific advisory hoard as at present constituted, contains a number of diScordant clements all at cross purposes, and consequently tends to promote discord, instead of harmony among the Pacific speciality and kennel clubs. Colonel Knocker, who Is acting under instructions from the San Fran.
 
 delegate, proposes to reform the presert advisory board out of existence. The next thing in order will then be the ap- pointment, by the American Kennel Club of such delegates from the coast clubs as will constitute a harmonious body to regulate local kennel affairs Every fancier, who has the interests of the dog truly at heart, must wish that the colonel will be successful in his effort
 Emmet Sullivan of Menlo Park has given notice to the American Kennel Club that the name of his newly acquired fox terrier. Elwood Check, has been changed to Menlo Check MT. Sullivan claims registration under the new title. Check has arrived in fine fettle and looks every inch the dog he has been cracked up'' to be.
 Fox terriers are certainly on the move. At least three Eastern cracks are on the way, or soon will be, to the Golden Gate Eugene O'Neill of Belmont intends to break up his kennel of Irish settlers, which will be sold.
 H. H. Carlton, the secretary of the San Francisco Kennel Club, is now paying the prize money to the successful ex- hibitors, and announces that the medals will be ready for distribution in the early part of next week.
