the Deer Season.
What the future course OF the California

difference OF opinion between the police authori-
ties aud the various athletic organizations OF the
city touching the points Of monthly exhibitions,

and In tact the sole, topic OF discussion In pugil-
istlc circles.
Innumerable theories have been advanced aud
tile widest and most improbable schemes have
been announced as The final determination oil the
clubs Board OF Directors.
The latest romance hatehed out was to the
effect thar the club would give sparrlng- match
on the 9th inst, ana offer themselves like spring
lambs to the sacritieia knife-to the police re-
quest to be arrested, give bonds, and so make
the matter test case
The Directors themselves, however, say that
they know nothing about the schemes laid out
for them by The advisory staff OF several papers.
Ii is most probable that II they had decided on
any line OF action that is at all IN the way OF
bringing the issue 10 a head they would keep
such determination TO themselves until the
proper time arrived.
