SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

VALLEJO, Sept. 5.-The Vallejo
yachting and rowing club has planned
a Great regatta for the afternoon of
Labor day. It is expected that four
yacht clubs-the San Francisco, Corin-
THAN, Aeolian and Golden Gate-will
take part in the races, the yachts be-
ing due here tomorrow. Elaborate
plans have been made by the local club
and the races promise to be the most
successful ever held here. Two large
coal barges have been loaned by the
captain of the yard, Mare island, and
these will be utilized for the accommo-
dation of spectators. Great interest

At the motor boat races held at Sac
ramento last year the Fighting Bob
was the successful contestant, though
the owner of the Konocti was confident
that he would have won had not his
engine become disabled, which prevent
ed his finishing the race. A lively con-
fest between the two is assured.
There will be two free for all races

colors, class A for boats of more than

less than horsepower. There VIII also

petual challenge cup is offered

1t was the general opinion that Eddie
Pomeroy. the father of soccer foot
ball. would be elected to the presi-
dency. Of the association. but he de-
feated himself and the honor went to
Dr. Frederick w. dEvelyn of Alameda
Evelyn was Pomeroys choice Wnile
there are many who will regret that
Pomeroy caused his own defeat, those
who know D'Evelyn are entirely salts

IN the days of the old American
championship of California In 1902,
Dr. Evelyn was more prominently
connected with the game than he has
been In recent years. At that time he
was major of the Rifles and did much
good work in launching the football
teams and helping to organize the
league and association.
For chairman of the executive COM
mittee. the most important office In the
gilt OF the delegates, three nice states
had been framed up, but two OF them
were lost In the shuttle at the assocla-

Birdsall was the unanimous choice.
All the proposed amendments to the
rules were defeated. The decision to
return to the ranks of organized ath-
letfcs by af1liating with the Pactnc
amateur athletic association was nailed
with great deal OF satisfaction.

Fish Commission Car
a Great Success

The fish commissioners are much
pleased with the successful operation
of their new fish distributing car.
which went into commission last week.
They are able to fill, on one trip of the
car. from II to IA applications.
The first trip was made to points
down the Sacramento river from the
eighteenth crossing to Chico. and all of
the applicants reported the fish re-
ceived in first class condition. with no
loss.
1t is believed by the commissioners
that with the present method of con-
centrating hatcheries at certain points
where the transportation. problem is
simple the output OF eacn hatchery can
be increased so per cent without addi-
tional cost.
With the car every section of the
state can be reached. All the applicant
has to do is to make his; application
for fish (provided they are for public
waters), meet the train at a given time
and place. receive his fish and drive
Immediately to the waters that are to
accordance with the written instruc-
tions that are supplied by the fish COM
mission deputies.
One of the most important things to
be considered is that the young fish
must be planted in the shadows or
rifles 1t is in such places that they
are 1Oun0 un0eE nalur8l conditions and
it is there that they find food and are
safe from attack.
The total output of young trout in
the state of California this year will
aggregate 100000 FISH. divided in the
following order. relating to Importance
and number: Rainbow trout, 100000:
cut throat trout, 100000; steelhead
trout 5000, 900: eastern brook trout.
1,250.00 Loch Loven trout $50. 600.
The California fish commission will
continue to follow its fepg established
and successful plan of Tberating trout
fry averaging an inch and a half in
length. Some of the more precocious
fish attain a growth in the hatchery
troughs of three inches. The minimum
size of the less vigorous ones ranges
from an inch and a quarter to an inch
