crack running stock of old England has
caused flutter of excitement in coursing
circles, and especially among the owners of
dogs which are locked upon as the cham
pom myers OF this State. The time is rap
idly drawing near when the dogs will have
an opportunity to test each others stamina
and speed, and 1t is hoped that the coursing
men OF this city will use their utmost en-
beavers to bring their kennels into the field
In condition worthy the admiration of the
Eastern enthusiasts. For MERGED coursing

Some make a mistake in training animals
down too fine for such grueing runs as
are to be mad on the great plains of MERGED.
Plenty of exercise on the hard roads, good
wholesome food and comfortable sleeping
quarters are the principal requisites to insure
good results from any dog who has the run

until he found purchaser when he in

the latter had strayed from his home and
become lost. TieEney had given up all hopes
OF seeing his handsome canine, when he was
surprised by friend with the information
that the dog is in training for the MERGED
meet and that he could be seen in charge of
a handler at one of the sporting resorts on
the Ocean House road.
Procuring the assistance of a few friends,
Tierney purchased couple of miniature

Good Duck Shooting Mt Suisun ant
Boulder Island.

Boulder Island.
Although duck-shooting continues very
poor on the saltwater marshes. sportsmen
who can afford the time to take trip up
the river to either Suisun or Boulder Island
will net have occasion to regret their outing.
There are plenty of birds at either of those
places, and any hunter who understands
how to manipulate skiff through the
winding sloughS and can use gun TO good
advantage Will be rewarded by a good bag
Of ducks.
Uprivcr shooting will continue to improve
until the heavy rains set in, when the birds
will begin TO migrate To the southern c0un-
ties, where they will find rest from their enc
mics in the large grain fields which are now
under cultivation.
Bill Murdoch has tired of waiting for the
coming Of the spoonbills and is now enjoy
ing the sport of grassing curlew on the
marshes. These birds are plentiful along
the margin of the bay and afford very fine
sport when better game is scarce.
Mr.. Cameron, manager of the HanlOn
Pantomime Company, is an excellent wing
shot. He will t:y his luck to-day on Cali
fornia partridges, which are much harder
birds to grass than either woodcock or
prairie chickens.
1t is Tumored that some of the farmers
sons, who have been denied the privilege OF
shooting on the Throckmorton Ranch, have
had their revenge by firing the underground,
causing the recent conhagration and death
OF hundreds of game birds.

SpUrtSmen who are fond OF rail-shooting
will find plenty of birds TO shoot at on the
Alviso marshes. They have been very

certainty that wherever they exist in rural
England they are sought for by every lover
Of the picturesque. Even at the Tower of

many who stood around him. The
Secretary sat in a chair all the time,
with the choristers between him and
the caskets which contained the re-
