CAUGHT A TROUT EACH
MINUTE FOR AN HOUR
C. G, Youngs Remarkable Experience
on the Garcia River Mendo-
cno County

G. G. Young has returned from fishing
trip to Garcia River, Mendocino County,
with a remarkable story as to the excel
lence of the sport there. In one hours
fishing he caught fifty-ive trout, an aver
age of nearly one each minute for that
period. The trout averaged from seven to
twelve inches in length. Mr.. Young says
he never saw so many fish in any river at
one time as are in the Garcia.
The striped bass fishing in the estuary
between Oakland and Alameda and in San
Leandro Bay has been a blank recently,
the fish refusing any bait offered. Men
who have gone in quest of them report
them plentiful, but they are not to be
tempted into striking.
Fish Commissioners VogelSang and Kel-
Ter are in Monterey to-day They will
hardly come away without trying the
salmon fishing which is so tempting at
present.
William H. Hanson. Frank Frost and
John w. Bourdette have returned from
Lake Tahoe and vicinity after an absence
of one month. They report the fishing ex-
cellent On Rubicon River, the Eastern
brook trout and rainbows are quite plen-
tiful and provide fair catches. The best
of the fishing. however, was on Grass
Lake and Susie Lake, where large catches
were made, the fish rising to the fly and
taking il ravenously.
Colonel Kelihor and H. E. Skinner leave
to-day for the Truckee for weeks fish

MONTEREY THE
RENDEZVOUS OF
TENNIS LOVERS
Players Will Ply Their Racket;
in Doubles.
Annual Championships Of Pacific States
Lawn Tennis Association Also at
Del Monte on Admission Day.

"Ho for Del Monte! is the cry among
the tennis men, and there will be a pro-
cession of racket wielders Monterey
bound next Wednesday and Thursday to
play in the handicap doubles tournament.
Everything else has been neglected among
the chasers of the tennis ball for this
event. which will be covered with a dress
of society.
AS far as tennis goes, the tournament
will not produce much of the real cham
pionship order, as the players are not out
for medals; nor do they expect to show
the full capabilities of their racket facul~
ties The teams will be more or less
impromptu, but this will not deteriorate
the interest in the matches. Probably
for the first time in several years there
will be the influence of ultra-soctety to
make the tournament the success of for
mer years, when every woman or man on
the crest of its waves patronized the
sport.
Not only will the racket wielders come
from San Francisco, Oakland and Ala
media, but a large contingent of players
is already ensconced at Del Monte. Many
players, who think the honors of the two
days battle will surely grace their stand
ards. Men who have won the fairest
court prizes of other years Will doH their
blazers and work on the courts on the 18th
and 18th against the younger and more
arrogant blood.
While the full list of teams has not yet
been entered, the great majority of them
are already in. They are as follows:

from the metropolis, who seldom have
sufficient leisure to go far afield for their
shooting. In Trinity. Humboldt and Men
docino counties, which are off the line of
travel, deer. bear and other big game is
found readily. Whether it is that pros
perity is abroad in the land, there never
was time when the high-class sports
of the field attracted so many people.
With a due regard for the preservation
of game this will so on until it attracts
the attention of men who now go abroad
for their sports.
That there is lively interest taken in
the preservation of game is evidenced by
the expressions of approval over the con-
viction of OBrien & Spotorno'S sales
man for having ducks in his possession
out of season. Judge Treadwells firm
stand in the face of the strongest pres
sure has gained favor for him among the
sportSmen.

weeks. They bring back the skins of two
California lions and report finding all
kinds of game in abundance. They en-
joyed trout fishing with spoon and fly in
the Eel River.
The members of the Olympic Gun Club
will hold their first ''varmint" hunt on
the 9th inst. The scene will be the clubs
preserve in Marin County, the Rodgers
ranch. Only those animals which prey
upon game birds or destroy their eggs
will be sought. The gunmen will be in
the field from a. m. until p. m. and
will kill no birds nor animals that are not
scheduled on the score card with which
each member will be supplied. The points
allowed on each animal killed are as fol-
lows
