 WHITE WINGED
 YACHTS AT NAVY YARD.
l 4 4 + < < < < <

The annual cruise of the Pacific Inter club Yacht Association boats to Vallejo on July 2, and was quite successful, though there were not at any one time so many yachts at anchor at the rendezvous as in previous years
 Vallejo was visited during the Inde- pendence day holidays by about a dozen Corinthian yachts, half a dozen Califor- mia craft and four or five each from the Encinals and San Franciscos. Of the San Francisco fleet Dr. T. L. Hills Cygnus and Arthur D. Naylors sloop Twilight made ,e--ejo on Saturday night Vice Commodore G. T. $. Whites sloon Will O the Wisp lay at McNears landing on Saturday night and sailed up to Vallejo on Sunday, returning to McNear's the same day. The yawls Frolic and Phyllis also took part in the cruise.
 On Sunday Arthur D. Naylor'S sloop Twilight sailed round to Martinez, re- turned to Vallejo and came down to Saul Salito on the Fourth. Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill leaves to-day for cycling trip absent till about the end of the month.
 Admiral J. D. Spreckels' schooner Lur- line and Commodore E. A. Wiltsee's schooner Aggie were lowed out from Meiggs wharf at o'clock last Saturday morning and cast off together near the lightship. The weather was foggy and there was scarcely any breeze. The Az Sunday morning, beating the Lurine by thirteen minutes

Tie skiff races which were postponed after two preliminary heats on June 26, at Fl Campo, will take place tomorrow at the same place. The following events are on the programme:
 Junior outrigger slSiff final heat-vfctor Gag lieri of the Dolphins, Conrad Ochs of the Pio- neers and William Howe of the Ariels.
 Senior Skiff - Special match race between Alex w. PaDe of the Dolphin Boating and Swimming Club and William McCausland of the Ariel Rowing Club.
 Senior shell race-H. Wittkopf of the Ariels and J. w. Lynn of the Stockton Athletic Club Pape and ". c. Patch of the Dolphns F. Wilson. H. A. Wittkopf and William McCaus- land of the Ariels; Fred Ayers and Chester Ayers of the Alamedas,
 Though Conrad Ochs of the Pioneers and William Howe of the Ariels met in the outrigger sliff race at Long Bridge last Sunday 1t is impossible to say which Is the better man, as Howe's oarlock was injured and he did not finish. In rough water the Dolphin representative would probably have an advantage, for in the first heat at Fl Campo on June 26 in which he was drawn against H. Wilder of the Pioneers and J. Lyons of the South Ends, he alone kept his boat from swamping, and went over the course.
 A. w. Pape has been training from the Triton boathouse and William McCaus- land from the Dolphin quarters. The lat ter has new outriggers in his boat and will use w. o. Patchs souls. Pape is in excellent trim and feels confident of winning. He certainly pulled strongly as stroke of the Dolphin four last Sunday
 It was hoped that some additional en- tries might have been received for the

FISHERMEN SEEK
 THE GAMEY TROUT
Boco oDd the Upper Sacramento Prove the Fovorite ReDdezvous.
 An Oregon Stream.

The majority of the well-known fisher men are now away on their annual yaca- tions and reports of excellent sport reach this city from many points. At Boca are such well-known wielders of the rod as Eugene Y. Sullivan. George Walker, Jack Sammi, Al Cumming, H. S. Skin ner, John Siebe, Al Wieland and M. J. Geary.
 James Chesley returned during the week from Boca with fine basket of fish. One weighed fifty-three ounces and proved the best of his catch.
 w. F. Bogart has been enjoying the sport at Boca, which is an old stamping ground of his. Boca and the Upper Sac ramento are from all accounts providing the best sport at the present time.
 A. Rose caught three good bass on the Russian River recently. They averaged thirteen inches in length and a pound in weight.
 Charles Huycks has been fishing the though those caught were chiefly small fish.
 The anglers of this city have had opened to them new field recently in the Pelican Bay district. Oregon. This Is some forty miles by stage from Ashland, and Is pronounced paradise for fisher men. The fish which are of the silver trout species are from one to ten pounds in weight and provide the most exciting of sport.
 J. W. Barnes leaves for the stream to- day, while G. W. McGrew and family went north on Wednesday last. G. w. Wright and E.. Langerman left at the same time, making quite colony of San F'rapciscans in quest of the gamy trout.

The high class racing at Oakland. un- der the auspices of the Trotting Horse Breeders Association, indicates that this State still maintains its former standard In the breeding of light harness horses. The average time of all the heats trotted has been unusually fast.
 The best blood Is represented among the entries, and both trotters and pacers show 1t In their conformation and style of travelling.
 Persons interested should keep well in view Royal Sid when Crippen gets him right to go money hunting. He should readily take a record of 2:15 or whereabouts by another month.
 Jimmy Sullivan is one of the hardest working trainers the coast and sits sulky almost all forenoon then sights few in the afternoons races. He doubt less rides fifty miles day on a sulky- not an altogether pleasant task.

 : DOVES AND DEER REPLACE THE CLAY DISKS.
-@+++++*%+++%++++% Y

The gun men, who have been such ar dent followers of trap-shooting for some months past, have grown careless Of the sport recently and now await the open ing of the shooting season with impa- tience. Deer and doves may be shot on and after next Friday, the 16th inst. All indications are to the effect that there is game in abundance
 In the nearby counties of Alameda. Marin and San Mateo the birds exceed in number those of any season in recent years. These are said. however, not to compare with the quantity of birds in the district about Marysville, Wheatland and Rio NIsta. The sportsmen of the metropolitan district find their way there annually and will be rewarded this year with heavily laden game bags.
 The small rainfall this season will, it is claimed, have a beneficial effect upon deer hunting The small waterholes have in droves to the larger streams. In other years they have been scattered over a wide area of country and were difficult to locate As in the past, Mendocino County will be the objective point of the majority of sportsmen. This is the home of the deer and is fairly teeming with game. The majority of the shooters go by way of the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Railway to USiah and thence by stage or private conveyance to the hauntS of the deer.
 The favorite arm of the rifiemen will be of 30 caliber. shooting a soft pointed bullet and the rifles of 3S-55 caliber.
 Otto Feudner has just returned from a visit to his home in Dixon. In the Putah Creek district he saw doves in endless quantity and all plump and we'll grown
 Frank w Fuller, who has for many years made an annual pilgrimage to Men docino County, may not be able to go this year owing to pressure of business.

senior shell race, but the Ariel and Stock ton men will be the only contestants.
 In the senior outrigger Skiff race two or three of the seven men entered will probably drop out. The loser of the spe- cial match will hardly care to compete and H. Wittkopf, having just lost or won the senior shell race, will likely not ap- pear. W. O. Patch has been working steadily, making the Ariel penthouse his headquarters. He considers Frank Will son of the Ariels, who is both strong and tenacious, his most dangerous competi tor.
 Except in the Pape-McCausland match, stations will be drawn for at Fl Campo.
 The races will be in charge of the re- gatta committee of the Pacific Athletic Association; Al Fritz will be referee; r. J: Enright. starter; McCallan, marshal; Titus Brown, assistant marshal: J. Kee nan, Al Greenleaf and J. Elliott, timers. There will be ten Judges, two from each of the following clubs: Ariels, Pioneers, South Ends, AlamedaS and DolphinS.

Five more applications for membership have been received. At the semi-annual meeting on the 12th inst. officers for the ensuing term will be elected.

 The Triton Swimming and Boating Club is about to enter upon new era. It has hitherto attracted but little public at tention, not entering its men for iegat5a3 nor being a member of the Pacific Asso- citation of the Amateur Athletic Union.
 The officers have decided to join the as- sociation and to send representatives to the regattas. c. Hess Jr. will rraln and become a sculler, new four-oared gig will be built for the club by Al Rogers and monthly social entertainments will be given at the boathouse.

FAMILIAR FACES SEEN ON THE

too early once and again got pocketed, things he will learn not to do with q lit tie more experience. Treadwell should do better at San Jose on Admission day, however, under the careful training of King" Rhys.
 One thing noticeable at the Sacramento meet was the absence of the men of the official circle. True, President Adams of the Associated Clubs was there and R. M. Welch, chairman of the racing board. One could not help, however, but miss Starter Lennie, Handicapper Smyth, An nouncer Knapp, Timer Stoddard and the host of good fellows who generally attend in evidence at San Jose on September 9.
 Speaking of the 9th of September meet at San Jose, it seems that the baseball people have control of the grounds and want to have a ball game that day tn- stead of cycle races, so that there Is a doubt whether the track will be avail able. As the cycle races will prove far better attraction and bring a much larger gate the Garden City Wheelmen hope to prevail upon the managers to give them the date. It is a little too early yet, any nounce a prize list This will be done if they secure the track the first part of August.
 teur of San Jose went to Paso Robles last Monday. to ride a match at one mile, best two in three heats slnRle-paced against Paul Smith. the local champion. It took 'Bunt" just two heats to complete his work. There was big crowd at the races. with several minor events to inter- est them besides the principal race, and every one had a good time.
 Hardy Downing, the San Jose profes- sional, has gone north to complete at Wellington, Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma and other points, where every track is controlled by the California Associated Cycling Clubs and all the racing men ride under its colors. Downing will have to meet F. J. Cotter. the crack northwestern amateur, who has but recently turned ''pro."
 Otto Ziegler Jr.. who was champion of the United States in 1894. is residing quiet " at San Jose, with his thoughts far from cycle racing. It Is said he contem- plates marriage at an early date, and all will join in wishing the Little Demon" good luck.

Sausalito boat and train to San Anselmo. number of the Denver Wheelmen. now located at Camp Merritt, will attend the run. and the local club expects to show them as fine trip as they ever traversed in Colorado.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
 PROVES A FAILURE
Lack of Higb-CIoss Entries De- tracts From the Annual Meet
 iDg at San Rafael.

The championship tennis tournament at San Rafael this year was singularly devoid of interest In former years there was always a contest for the first place in the tournament and even the prelimi- naries had a bright streak here and there which relieved the monotony of matches played in desultory fashion. Sumner liar dy is now the champion player of the coast in singles. George Whitney. who held that title for the season of 1S97-9S, failed to appear to contest with Hardy, the winner of the tournament, and thus forfeited the championship.
 The one good match of the entire tour nament was between Sam Hardy and his brother, Sumner. The absence of Robert nN. Whitney was sufficient guarantee that the championship would again re- turn to the Hardy family. After the de- feat of Sam Hardy by his brother there was not formidable opponent left for Sumner, whose playing, during the latter part of the tournament, was not a shadow of its former self. The finals were productive of as poor tennis as is usually seen In the ordinary tournament ! in which the result is a foregone con- clusion. Holmes is one of the new play CTS and is as yet undeveloped. While he give promise of becoming a first-class man he has not as yet reached that | standard. The poor quality of Sumner | Hardy's playing in the finals was due in a great measure to the confidence which | he felt in an easy victory. In the sec | ond set of the match Holmes won six ! straight games, Wnlcn was only possible | by the greatest laXity on the part of Har- l dy. George Whitney was on the line and at every stroke he regretted his in- ability to compete for the championship 1 honors. He had been playing an excel lent game up to the time he took III, and then he was forced to abstain from even light practice. As it is, he surrendered the cup and forfeited the honors that went with 1t.
 The tournament has done one thing in the interest of the game The younger players of the Oakland and Alameda clubs were out in force and many good undeveloped men enjoyed the first oppor- tunity to try their mettle in a champion ship tournament. The two clubs from across the bay are progressive and the members of them take an interest in the game. But few of the California Club players entered the tournament. This club needs an infusion of new blood to de stroy the sluggish circulation that now marks it's course.
