BIG GAMR-The Nebraska State Sports
mems Association propose a memorial to
Congress regarding the much needed pro-
lection OF the big game OF the Territories,
and they suggest that other State societies
do the same thing.
FATAL SImULArIoS.- jasper Smith, OF
Wise county, Texas, while out hunting,
was accidentally shot dead. This Is the
substance Of the case in the quaint language
OF the jury's inquest OF SIX persons we,
the iury before whom was presented the
dead body Of man by the name Of Jasper
Smith. after hearing all the evidence Access
sible to us, aud examining the body found,
that his name IL Jasper Smith and that the
deceased was secreted 10 tine brush in Cattle
creek bottom yeping up turkey, and was
shot by A. J. Pillows, evidently being mis-.
taken by said Pillows for a turkey"
BAKING a BIRD IN CLAY.-Given a
bright campfire and bird in condition.
Make pliable cake or sheet OF clay large
enough to envelop the bird. Let it be
about two inches thick. Smooth and
straighten ont the feathers, but do not pull
a feather or draw the bird. Pack it
tightly in the clay envelope and it takes
the shape Of. as 1t were, a smooth, oblong
clay bail. Dig hole in the earth under
the center Of the campfire, and buy the
bird NTH covering OF earth, ashes and
a. n.
about 10 p. il just before you turn in for
the night. II you are a genuine wOodsman
you are supposed to keep a lively fire all
night, and TO turn out before daylight in
the morning. Stir up the fire, start your
coffee OF tea, aud potatoes, if you have
any. Go down to the icy spring, give
your face and hands cold rinse, Dig into
your outer covering for that three-inch bit
Of broken horn comb, unsnarl your hair
and Bhiskers some. Finish off by con.
Guiding wipe with the limp towel that came
IN around a large leaf OF bread and sup
ply of killikinnick, and then 20 back to
camp and haul your bird. You will
find him represented by lump OF cracked,
hard baked clay, which, pulled off piece
meal, takes feathers and skin clean away,
leaving the we'll cooked body OF the bird
in its naked beauty, with all his gsmy
flavor and native aroma held in and pre-.
served. Lay the body tenderly on the
fragrant section Of fresh, peeled bark which
serves yen for plate, got out your pota-
toes, bread, butter, coffee, etc, and then
settle down to q breakfast that you will
remember long after you have left camp
and gone back TO the yoke and short-tug-
harness Of civilization.

California. We know Of no place on the

Two-MILE HEATs.-A correspondent of
the Spirit Of The Times, New York, p. otes.s |
against two-mile heats, and asks the Stew |
ards of the Grand Circuit programme to |
hereafter rule them out. He says " 1t |
was the general verdict last season that the |
two-mile heat races were failure, and |
cannot doubt that the good Judgment of |
the Stewards will prevent any repetition OF |
them, The fact is, cur horses are net |
trained for these long distances, and it |

these feats OF endurance, and, besides, |
there is no doubt that they put premium |
on rsscaity. The Jobs IN the Grand Cir |
cult Of 1881 were mostly confined to these
two-mile heat affairs, and in my opinion |
they will never be on the square. There is |
too much room for plausible laying up,
and too great scope for 'generalship.' The |
public does not wish any more of these |
races, and is contented with the old style |
all along the line"
WHEELMEN- There are half a dozen
good bicycIists in Sacramento now. The |
number should increase. Wheelmen are
great in number in the East Oar level |
drives give the finest bicycle routes in the
world. The truth is our people are afraid
some one will "look at them when
perched on wheel" How is it that
the tricycle., SO popular in England, is not
out here yet? 1t Is not quite so speedy as
the bicycle, but with it "headers are an
impossibility the rider sits down between |
two great wheels they are adapted to old |
and young, and ladies as well as men. |
Some are so constructed as to carry three |
persons, and almost any of them carry two. |
We prophesy that the new tricycle., OF |
which there are thirty patterns, will yet |

LATE.-After the Forester Gun Club had !
been two weeks in the field with heavy
reward for the conviction of violators of
the game law in the killing of doves, the
State Sportsman's Association woke up and |
gave notice in this section, just before the |
opening Of the season, that it, too, would |
reward any one who would secure the ar.
rest and conviction of the offenders. This |
l,k< l,.S LaAs la
never.
EFFECTIvE.-The RECORD UNION first |
called attention to the wanton shooting of !
doves in violation of the law, and urged |
the arrest Of the offenders. That checked |
the evil but when Sacramento club fol-
lowed with reward and a pledge to pun
ish violators of the law, the shooting pretty |
much ceased. Another year let the pre-
Ventive steps be tsker, SO well in advance
as to insure the protection of this game.
THE DERBY.-The following bets have
been taken by the owner on the Derby OF
1888 i: 5000 to SO against The Duke, by
Barbillon, out of Lady Abbess; 5000 to
so against The Prince, by Bale, out of SEQ
bells dam.
A SUccEss.-The success of the spring
meeting of the Capital Turf Club, Sacrs-
mento, was such that permanent organ.
ization has been resolved on. The Club
had a good programme, no appeals, 10
friction, and quit money ahead.
a PROSPECTUS. james Cairn Simpson,
the long experienced and thoroughly
efficient editor of departments devoted to
the horse and his culture, announces the
intention to engage in the publication of
paper in San Francisco, to be known
as the Breeder and Sportsman. He
says The farm, especially the breed
ing of domestic animals, will have the
first place. The breeding, rearing, and
education of horses will, necessarily, have
the foremost rank, though all kinds of live
stock will receive due attention. The turf
and track will be awarded the prominence
they are entitled to from the magnitude of
depending interests, and care taken that
these, the most popular OF sports. be pre.
