Second Sunday contest, classification series. Stow Lake. 10 a. m. The Fly-Casters. Picturesque 8tow lake in 0 olden Gate Park waB the scene Of the initial meeting for 1900 of the 8an Francisco Fly-Casting Club members on Saturday last. A foggy, cold day and a west' erly breeze were not conducive to comfort or the making of big scores, nevertheless some very good work was done. In the long distance event first place was won by H. C. Golcher with a cast of 111 feet. T. W. Brotherton was second with 104 feet. First place in accuracy went to W. D. Mansfield, who scored 95 8-12 per cent. Messrs. Young and Muller tied for second place, each with 93 4-12 per cent. The del- icacy event was won by Mansfield with 84 4-12 per cent. Golcher took second place with 83£ per cent. On Sunday the weather was damp and the wind southwest, however some excellent casting was done. H. C. Golcher was first in long distance with 113 feet. F. E. Daverkoeen second with 105J feet and Brotherton close op with 105 feet. Golcher was first in accurary and J. 8. Turner led in the delicacy event. The scores made on the second day show a decided lead over Saturday's casting. Messrs. BrooEs and Stratton are both new members and made an excellent showing. Daverkosen has not cast for a year, bis score in long distance evidences that he will be pretty close up to the top of the cham- pionship class when the season closes. Mansfield will not compete this year for the long distance medal, this leaves the personnel of the distance championship class composed of Golcher, Lovett, Everett, Daverkosen and possibly A. T. Vogelsang, if he will keep up his practice. .Russell A. Crowell also whipped the lake on Sunday, his first appear- ance in two years.
