hills and ''stay" with their game thoroughly
earned the birds they had bagged when it
was 80 degrees in the shade.

denoted discomfort was noticed among the
canine bird-disturbers.

Novato and, although their returns were

COW. He should get 365 days.
Jim Chesley did not go hunting On Sum-

who represented Rear-Admiral Irwin, and
Rear-Admiral Brown to the French frigate
Dubourdieu yesterday was an affair very
contrary TO the general run.
They went to extend the courtesies Of the
porto Rear-Admral Paragon, commander
of the French naval division of the Pacific.
They went in regulation uniform and
were received by the admiral of the French
vessel in bis most hospitable and courteous
manner

time and the party were forced to remain
to lunch, which was a most sumptuous af-
fair.
Admiral Paragon expressed his admira-
ton for the Americans ana could not do
enough for them.

yesterday morning. Her delay was ex-
planned by the fact that she waited for

gerous condition and only about ID alf OF ii
fit for use. Not only is the flooring bad,
but the piling is in the same condition and
likely to give way at any time. A very
small wagon shakes Ii in crossing like an

commenced in few days.
