shows on its books las vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage of S,433, or an average
of 81 tons to each yacht. The amount of
prize money offered by the Club to racing
associations under its auspices was So, 400.
This is certainly not bad exhibit. There
are now twenty-eight regular clubs in
France, besides some forty regatta associa-
tions.

dent, E. L. Whipple; Secretary, A. d.

ecutive Committee-John H. Burnett,
Geo. l.. Dixson and E. B. Smallwood.
ANTI-TRAP. The Rhode Island Legisla--
ture has prohibited pigeon shooting. The
sportsmen of the State are divided in
opinion as to its justice. Many hold that
single-bird contests are now no tests of
skill in craftsmanship. This is hard to.
establish. "To many single-bird shoot
ing" says Forest and Stream, sis hard
enough.
PROTECTION TO GAME.-Nearly all the
sporting clubs of the West are taking
active measures to insure better protection
of game, and a more rigid enforcement of
the game laws of the various States. Some
clubs propose to lease wooded lands and
have gamekeepers, and do all that can be
done to propagate rare species.
BASE BALL.-The Shasta Base Ball Club
is anxious for challenge to play match
game with any club in Tehama or Shasta
counties. As the Riversides of Reading
did not accept the challenge sent them by
the Athletics of Red Bluff, the Shasta Club
will probably have an opportunity to test
their skill.
A BIG SHooT-Malcolm Price, and
John and Joe Foster, of Cottonwood, went
on a hunting expedition down Cottonwood
creek recently, and succeeded in bagging
seventy-two ducks. We believe this is the
biggest one-day's shoot that has taken
place in that neighborhood this season.
GOOD SHooTING.-C. w. Tillotson killed
los geese out on the plains the other day.
This was extraordinary good shooting, con-
sidering that it was done in one day and
every goose shot ON the wing [Suisun
