State is divided into a number OF dis

safety. The police is mainly supplied by
the Congo fleet of nine steamships, very
small ones, doubtless, five of which are

fighting thriyes after a fashion, but it is
not the prize fighting of old. Football is
played i'm q weak, faint-heartod way i'm
this country, but it is not the dashing,
headlong game of the British Isles. CoLrs-

of legitimate California sports. Gro
quet has seen its days and expired, So
has archery. All the enthusiasm of the
deyotees of the latter delightful pursuit
could not keep it from the dry rot of
Indifference and disuse. There is am old
saying that whatever you do you should
do WELL which, like many old sayings, Is
very untrue and dangerous i'm its lack of
truth. But nowhere is this more untrue
than i'm regard TO our amusements. To
