BACK FROM HIS VACATION.
Jim Corbett, boxing instructor Of the
Olympic Club, returned yesterday from his
vacation TO Echo, which is small village
ABOUT ulleen miles uOTLH Ol OlONcTudle.
Miehling, the wrestling teacher, and Eu-
gene Van Court, the popular baseball
umpire, had been camping at the same
locality, but returned about week ago.
Corbett has budget of news concerning
Miehling ana Van Court, some of which he
is not anxious to give to his friends for fear
of getting the boys into serious complica-
tions with a granger upon whose ground
they shot when in pursuit Of deer. A re-
porter pumped from C0rbett enough inf0r-
nation to convince him that Mr.. Miehling
has yet 10 learn the difference between a
Jersey heller and female deer.
Sufficient to say that the wrestling in
struct0r returned to the club three days
earlier than the Secretary anticipated, and
to every body's surprise he has since been
as dumb as an oyster to all questions
asked concerning his hunting trip in the
wllds of MendocinO County. Van Court
says, in his quiet way, that the deer up
yonder are very docile and can be easily
shot while grazing on the hills.

last Sunday between the Alameda and
Burnaby clubs. Some brilliant playing
was done on both Sides but many of the
players are yet very rusty and need con-
siderable practice. The following is the
order of the play:
