DOG AND GUN.

Close of the Shooting Seasonal Famous
st. Bernard.
The slight rain has had disturbing effect
on the ''quackers" that have been so very
numerous on the marshes within convenient
reach of the city. Two hunters, who re-
turned in very much disguised state from
a hopeless search for ducks on the Sonoma
marshes, surprised their friends yesterday
by informing them that the birds had taken
their departure for parts unknown. and
that the shooting for the remainder of
the season will be not worth the
trouble and expense attached. The
law passed by the Supervisors of this CITY
and county Will make it unlawful for any
person 10 have in his possession ducks or
game OF any description after the 1st of
March. Consequently there are only a few
more weeks left for the lovers of the noisy
pastime to enjoy the shooting OF quail or
duck, which are the principal game birds
sought after by local sportsmen.
The Cunard steamship Umbria arrived in
New York City few days ago with 22O
pounds OF dog flesh, which cost the owner
e nearly S57 a pound. The canine, which
commanded even bigger premium than
the famous Mike Kelly of base ball fame. is

recently purchased by E. b. Sears of Wyo.

Sir Bedivere's career upon the bench has
been an endless round of triumphs. He
has never been beaten or failed to win first
prize wherever exhibited. On his first an
pearanee as puppy the sum Of $1,000 was
offered for him and refused. An additional
5000 was finally offered and when that
Jailed to win the prize, the same gentleman
was willing to give $4,000 check for the
pup. Bnt even this proved Intellectual. Mr..
Sears did not win the prize un-
till a good deal of diplomacy and a
larger amount of money had been utilized.
