Text Appearing Before Image: Among the local rod-wieldera the unexpected tarn o events, in view of the splendid work Mr. Mansfield had been doing in practice, was a matter of unprecedented surprise and astonishment. The catting of Mr. Lovett in long dis- tance, 105 feet, has been beaten by his scores at Stow lake repeatedly. His win of first prize in distance and accuracy was not unexpected, it is true, but the excellent score in this event and the rattier indifferent record in the long distance event was a reversal of expected conditions that has kept those ^interested jhere in a state of cogitation and inquiry that has evolved no better solution than the refrain: "We'll wait till they get back, and we'll hear all about it.*' Coming Events. Aas- 2»—Fly-Casting. Saturday contest No. 12, class series, Stow Lake, 2:30 P. ai. Aur. 26—Fly-Casting. Sunday contest No. 12, class series, Stow Lake, lo p. M, Aug. 17, 18—Open*to-the-World Casting Tournament, under the auspices of the Chicago Fly-Casting Club, North Lagooa, Garfield Park, Chicago. Chicago Fly-Casting Tournament. The third open tournament of the Chicago Fly-Casting Club was held at the north lagoon, Garfield Park, Chicago, commencing on Friday, August 17th, at 11:30 A. M. The prominent fly-casting clubs represented were the Chicago, Grand Kapids and 8an Francisco organizations. This city was represented by W. D. Mansfield, A. E. Lovett and E. A. Mocker. Three events were on the program for the first day, only two of which were completed, the wet weather and poor light seriously interfering with tha work of the contestants. The first event, fixed distance and accuracy fly-casting, at rings twenty-five inches in diameter, 50, 55 and 60 feet from the platform. Rods not to exceed S£ ounces in weight. Five casts at each ring. The fly falling in or hitting the ring to be second perfect, each foot or fraction of foot from the mark scored a demerit. One minute allowed to extend line. Eighteen contestants entered this event. The prize winners were: First Prize (diamond medal, Chicago Fly-Casting Club)— A E. Lovett, of San Francisco, with a score of 98 per cent. Second Prize—W. D. Mansfield, of San Francisco, score of 97 1-3. Third Prize—Was won by H. G. Hascall, of Chicago, with 96 per cent. Fourth Prize—Winner, F. N. Peet, of Chicago, 83 1-3 per cent. Fifth Prize—A. C. Smith, of Chicago, who made a score of 92 2 3 per cent. Sixth Prize—Was won by E. R. Letterman, of Chicago, by a score of 92 2-3 per cent. Those who followed were: I H Bellows 92 per cent, J Waddell 91 2-3, C A Lippincott 911-3, H Greenwood 90 2-3, C B Kelsey 89, H W Perce 87 1-3, E A Mocker 85 2-3, A P Stuart 85, I D Belasco 78 1-3, C F Brown 76 2-3 and L I Blackman 70 2-3. The other events are reported in the Chicago Inter-Ocean as follows: The contest in long distance and accuracy oc- curred in the forenoon, and was won by G. W. Slater of Chicago with a cast of 103 1-12 feet. A. E. Lovett, of San Francisco, was a close second with 100 2-15 feet to his credit. The team contests in distance and accuracy and in delicacy and accuracy between teams representing Chicago, San FrancUco and Grand Kapids resulted favorably to the Chic- ago team in both cases. The third team contest, which was to have been in long distance fly-casting was called off, as the teams from both Grand Kapids and San Francisco withdrew. The contest in the afternoon in accuracy bait casting was closely contested, and excellent scores were made. The best score was 98 2-5, made by Smith a Chicago man, with Peet of Chicago a close second at 98 2-5. There were ten prizes in this event, the tenth being won by the high score of 95 1-5 per cent. The long distance fly-casting [contest was won by A. E. Lovett of San Francisco, who unreeled 105 feet of line. F. N. Peet of Chicago was second with 102 feet. The scores were : Team Contests—Distance and accuracy : Chicago—F N Peet 97 715 per cent, H G Haecall 96 2-3 per cent, average 97 1-10 per cent.

The wind and rain naturally worked against the casting, yet notwithstanding this fact it was exceptionally good. The casting of Mr. Lovett and Mr. Mansfield of 8au Francisco was particularly noticeable. The full-arm movement of Lovett pitted against the body swing of Mansfield was a con- test between two styles of casting, with Lovett the leader in yesterday's events. Thousands of young trout were received in Napa from the Lake Tahoe hatchery, August 14th, on the arrival of the evening train. Twenty-five thousand were for Vallejo. H. M. Meachan and D. 8. Kyser took them over to the Vallejo Water Co.'a dam and carefully cropped them back into their native element there. "Jack" Trae "planted" 5000 in the Soscol creek; Drury Melone took 2000 up to Dry Creek; Mark Hein dropped 5000 in Napa Creek in the Redwoods and Jos. Noyes and Wm. West took 3000 far up Milliken Canyon and put them into the water without losing one. Five thousand came addressed to the Knoxville Sporting Club, but as no one was on hand to receive them and as they had to be cared for immediately they were scattered through the different streams by the Napa men, who experienced great difficulty in operating in the dark. The "planters" did not finish their work until the wee hours of the morn- ing.—Napa Register. — ^ Striped bass anglers have been catching many fish in the waters of the estuary this week. O. W. Jackson and ft. W. McFarland landed seven Tuesday. Al Wilson was cleaned out by a fish that bested as good a lot of tackle as only a skilled angler like Wilson would use when he prepared to put up a winning fight with the staunchest of finny heavy- weights. Boswell Kenniff has put in a week prospecting Petalnma creek and its tributaries as well as the estuary and San Leandro bay. Sears Point has developed into quite a resort for a number of salt water anglers. Last Sunday Hyp Jnstins landed a twelve pound bass which be hooked in Midshipman slough. "Pete" Walsh reports .striped bass fishing first class at Black Point. He has Bent down quite a number of fish to friends in this city daring the week. Several parties of anglers have enjoyed the sport in Petalnma creek, making Walsh's commodious arks their headquarters. "After I had watched a colored man fishing in a South Carolina brickyard pond for forty minutes without pulling up his hook," said the traveler: "I asked him if he thought there were any flsh there to be caught." " 'No, sah, reckon not,' he replied.' " * But you seem to be fishing.' "'Yes, sah.' " ' But perhaps you are not fishing for fish ? ' " 'No, sah.' "I waited ten minutes for him to explain, but as he did not 1 finally asked him what particular object he had in view. " '' De objick, sah,' he repeated without taking his eves 00 the pond or moving the pole—'de objick of my fishing fnr fish whar dere ain't any is to let de ole woman see dat I hain't got no time to pick up de hoe and work in de truck patch I' "—Washington Post. The Siskiyou Fish and Game Protective Association has been organized at Sissons by northern sportsmen. The fol- lowing gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: W. H. 8hebley, President; W. A. Shnrpe, Secretary; W. W. Foster, Attorney; Directors, W. W. Van Arsdale, O. J. Van- noy, J. W. Rinkle, H. W. 8mith, J. M. 8chulter, C. C. SmHh, H. H. Patterson. The Point Reyes Sportsman's Club has just been organized; the officers and members are Gen'l J. H. Dickinson, Presi- dent; Col. D. E. Miles, Vice-PreBident; Horace W. Orear, Secretary-Treasurer, R P. Upham, Col. J. Barrere, 8. E. "81ade," F. Vernon, W. 8. Leake, W. J. Martin and E. L. Sargent. The club has leased for five years nearly 20,000 acres of excellent deer and quail Bhooting ground from the Shafter Corporation. The tracts are known as north and south ends of the Point Reyes property. Three freBh water lakes recently stocked with rainbow and cutthroat trout, young salmon and black bass, as well as two other unstocked lakes are on the tracts. The fishing is said to be very good and the quail and deer shooting afforded is claimed to be the best in that section. General Dickinson and a party hunted over the ground on the 19.h inst. and bagged a five point buck. The Butler lagoon will give splendid duck shooting this fall to the members. The new club has a preserve that will give excellent shooting throughout the season to twenty- five or thirty sportsmen. The limit of membership is twenty. The tracts above mentioned had been for a number of years past leased by the Country Club. Mr. John K. Orr has made some record bags of English snipe on the lands mentioned. "If the party above mentioned did kill ten deer, it is safe to say that ten pairs of horns were never brought in to prove their prowess." This sentence appeared in a weekly cotemporary and refers to a published statement of ten bucks killed in Marin county early during the season by Joe, Ed and Will Bickerataff, Harry Mason, Otto Heins and Bart Manning. The con- struction is that does or fawns were killed to make up the quota of ten deer. The sportsman above mentioned are highly indignant at the unwarrantable aspersion on their characters. It !b needless to Bay that the implied charge is false. The garbling of the names and indirect impeachment was unnecessary as the truth could easily have been ascer- tained. The hunters are spcrismen and men of character— the rt flection in this matter falls where it belongs, upon the writer of the lines referred to. Text Appearing After Image: Coming: Events.

It is not improbable that the authorities of Marin county will soon adopt new measures for the preservation of game in their territory. Among the changes advocated is a close season on deer for two years. The Pacific Advisory Board on Thursday decided the case of the protest of J. W. Flynn, made at the time the Pacific Coast Field Trials cup was awarded to A. F. Colvin's Pointer bitch Lady C, winner in the field trials class at the May bench show. The protest was sustained by the bench show committee. Mr. Colvin then appealed to the Advisory Board whose decision is in his favor. At the Traps. Al Cumming will go to Meadow Valley on the opening of the grouse season, September 1st, where the birds are plenti- ful this year and according to reports have not as yet been molested by poachers. At Ingleside to-morrow the final inanimate target shoot of the Olympic Gun Club and the regular monthly live bird shoot of the Sao Francisco Gun Club are the attractions offered trap shooters. In the club race of the Olympic Gun Club members will shout at fifty targets. Four classes will compete for club medals and added money. The individual classification has been computed according to the scores made by the members in the first five shoots. The final competition in the diamond ring event will also take place. Contestants in this race must have shot in four out of the first five shoots and on the basis of the best four scores made will be classified for the final shoot into three classes. The contestants will shoot at fifty birds each, plus a handicap allowance. The high score will win the prize, the next three high guns dividing the added money. Practice shootiDg will be the attraction on the Empire Grounds at Alameda Junction. The San Francisco Gun Club will close their live bird season on September 23d, the club final blue rock shoot will take place September 12th. E. P. Peterson purchased an elegant new shotgun last week, incidentally to an Ingleside trip for the purpose of patterning the gun he shot a friendly live bird contest with Dick Itgen. Peterson won by a margin of one bird.] The Lincoln Gun Club closed their trap shooting season for 1900 on the 19th inst. Weather conditions were execrable notwithstanding which a high average of scores were made. Four thousand blue rocks were used during the day in the regular events and in practice shooting. Haight, Nauman, Bekeart, Robertson! Webb, BrunB and Forster were high men in the club race. After the conclusion of the club match the four best scores of each shooter for the season were counted up, and tbe men divided into five classes, for the distribution and award of the club purse $150. The results were, out of a possible 100: First class—Haight* 95, Webb* 94, Forster 93, Nauman 91. Second class—Golchei* 88, Bruns* 88, Feudner 85, Bekeart 82. Third class—Kerrison* 81, Price* 79, Daniels 74, Fischer* 72. Fourth class— Forstei* 72, Bowen* 66, Coneo 63, Baum 62. Fifth class— Javette* 55, Herzog* 51, Lewis 35. The money wionere are designated by stars. The feature of the shoot was a novelty race at 100 targets. This really consiituled five different matches. In the first section at twenty targets, a side issue, tbe ownership of the Neustadter trophy was determined. Two twelve men teams contested, the Lincoln Club team winning over the Union Club, the former dub having won the trophy twice will now retain it. The Union Club took second honors, a purse of $10. In this race a number of individual shooters also entered. The winners of side pool money were Nauman firs', Webb second and Haight, Bruns and F. Feudner divided third money. The second section of the novelty race was at twenty birds, reverse angles, the strong wind caused many ragged scores in this shoot. The money and merchandise priies in this and the following three sections was divided among five classes. The winners in this event in their order were: Haight, O. Feudner and Schullz, Monk, Forster and Bowen, Kerrison. Tbe third section, twenty birds, expert rules, one man up, won by Nauman, Kerrison, "Heidelberg," Bowen and Bruns. Section four, twenty birds. Sergeant system, three traps used, the squad standing in the segment of a circle, unknown traps, the winners were Forster and F. Feudner, Haight, "Heidelberg," Bruns, O. Feudner. The concluding section was at ten pair of doubles, the winners were "Heidelberg," Nauman, Webb, O. Feudner and Van Valkenberg. The highest average in this shoot was made by Nauman, 80 breaks, who won the 100-bird novelty medal. The totals as announced by Secretary Foster for the highest average during the novelty 100 bird shoot were as follow?: Feudner 73, Bekeart 60, Scbuliz 67, Webb 74, Golcher 67, Forster 71, Bruns 62, Nauman 80, Heidelberg 74, Monk 70, F. Feudner 73, Haight 78 and Smyth 55. Nauman also won the continuous break medal, his run of fitty-eight straight made May 20th not having been beaten. Those who made the next longest runs during the season in this contest were Haight, Forster, Webb and O. Feudner.
