AN EXPLODED RUMoR.
Some silly rumors have been afloat re-
Gently rejecting on II. V. Cassidy's stand
ing as an amateur. The matter was invest-
| gated and brought up before the Board
of Examiners on Monday evening, result
| ing in the exoneratiOn of the
young athlete, who explained to the
officers that some years ago, when
| he was totally ignorant of the rules of
| amateur athletics, he accepted the invita-
| ton Of some friends to participate in a hose
| team race viii h was run at Salinas. Some
| professional runners were in the race, but
| at the time Cassidy was ignorant of the fact
| and returned to Irvington, where he was
attending college. perfectly satisfied that he
| had done no wrong IN assisting the team TO
| win the prize offered for competition. IL
was very apparent that Mr.. Cassidy had
transgressed no laws governing amateur
athletics Intentionally. and, as a matter of
course, the rumor which he desired .nvesti-
| gated ended in an explosion and his exoner-
alton.

GAME AND FISH.
Al Wilson and go-as-you-please Dolliver
caught a few nice fish at Point Reyes last
Saturday. They report that ducks are very
plentiful on the marshes. Doihver had
nice bag of mallards and teal which he shot
at daybreak last Sunday morning.
The Sacramento Record Union Of the 22d
inst. says that Deputy Fish Commissioner
Shelley returned from Oregon yesterday
morning with twenty pairs OF Monaghan
pheasants, making forty pairs in all that the
State Fish Commissioners have secured this
fall for stocking the State. These are fully
developed birds, and the males are Of beauti-
full pumage.
A few of the birds will be liberated in this
county, in the vicinity Of ex-senator ROu-
tiers home, on the banks of the American
River Mr.. Reuter- Is President of the State
Fish and Game Commission, and 1t has been
largely through his efforts that these beauti-
full game birds have been secured
The only other Monaghan pheasants in
this State are couple of pairs on the Oak
Knoll Farm, in Napa County: If all goes
well with the forty pairs of birds secured
by the Commissioners. there should be.

pheasant3 in California, and the rate of in
crease from that time on can easier be i'm.
agined than computed.
FOR PRIVATE PRESERVES.
The Monaghan pheasant matches out four
broods each season, and from fifteen to
twenty-five in each brood. The twenty pairs
introduced into Oregon seven years ago have
caused portions of that State to fairly swarm
with their produce. So great is the demand
for them all over the union that 10000 pairs,
Mr.. Shelley says, could be sold at $40
pair, but they are difficult to get. as all that
are sold are raised in confinement from eggs
stolen from the nests in the fields. Two
companies have lately Incorporated 10 60 into
the business Of raising pheasants for sale.
Besides those put out near the American
River, some OF the birds received yesterday
will be liberated in Yolo, some in Nevada
County, and the rest will be sent to Com
missioner Harvey Tor the plains Of Southern
California.
President Reuter- recently stated to Rec
ord Union reporter that he intended to try
the experiment of breeding the birds in con-
finement and turning the young birds loose
as they mature.
The pheasants lately turned loose on the
Rancho del Pas0 have been seen frequently
by persons on the ranch, and they appear to
be doing well.
