MORE HUNTERS COMING.
An Intending Visitor, incidentally
Shows the Necessity for
Sportsman Club

The LIGHT yesterday made note Of an
important bunting party being organized
and of the proposal to form Sportsman s
club for the purposes OF spreading notices
of San Antonio and southwest Texas as a
hunting and fishing resort, of furnishing
information to inqutring SDortSmen and
giving them a courteous welcome when
they are here.
The necessity for this is shown by the
following extract from a letter from DR..
j. c. Fritch. a prominent physician and
enthusiastic sportsman, to Mr.. l.. f.
Movers.
"In the American Field of December 3,
see your kind offer to see that visiting
sportsman could get something to shoot
at when they come to San Antonio and |
hasten to inform you thatsI expect to be
one of the number about February.

last winter, went out with Mr.. ROthwell
one day and had splendid time and par
took of the hospitality of the San Anton
of times but could find no one to go
out with me for weeks hunt
Now, | want to arrange with some
one for five days hunt, and if
you can direct me to the proper party, |
will be under lasting obligations. would
like TO get some quail as well as turkey
shooting, and would not object to tackle
coyote, but would draw the line at
mountain lion or bear"
Several prominent visiting SporUsmen
from the north and east are expected at
the same time. while there are adviceS
that other leading men OF capital and
business are organizing hunting parties
TO divert themselves in this section.
These sportsmen who can have business
and bear the incidental expenses OF such
a trip are men of position and means and
nothing but good can come out OF the
same to populariSe this section as the hun,
terS' paradise, and the tishermanS Ell
Dorado.

THE CLUB RECEPTION.
The First Given this season by the
san Antonio Club

The San Antonio club reception has
been a subject for much talk and gossip
among SOciety'S cOurterS, since it was
first known when it would be given. The
great event, like all others that have gone
before, is thing of the past. The ladies
are now specializing on what they will
wear at the next one. and the gentlemen
arc anXiOusly wondering whether or not it
will rain.
Last night the doors Of the club were
thrown open, and soon the beauty and a
great part OF the chivalry of San Antonio
were within the walls of the reception
rooms. When all had gathered IL was
observed that the crowd was not so large
as at the previous receptions, but the con-
ditiOn of the weather was sufficient ex-
excuse for the small attendance,
The rooms were prettily decorated,
the mantels being especially so. The
billiard and card apartments were used
for refreShment rooms and the delicacies
diplayed there would tempt the gods
themselves. The punch was exception
ally fine. The costumes of the ladies
were beautiful. Dancing was the order
of the evening and seemed to be enjoyed
by all present. The date of the
next reception has not been decided on.
