such a warm reception by the sportsmen

SUNDAYS. AS means of exercise there is
nothing better than handball, as it makes
quick the eye and brings into play every
muscle and sinew of tile body. On FRIDAY
evening delegates from.the Acme, Reliance
and olympic clubs met at the Olympic
Club ard it was decided to hold an inter
club contest, for which prizes to the
amount of $3.50 will be offered.
The only drawback to the courts OF the
Olympic Club is that there is no place
from which the contests can be seen WITH
out interference to the players. PROBABLY
in the near future court especially Tor
match games will be built At any event
a court where spectators can sit and Watcn
the play is necessary.
Among the professional players great
interest is manifested in the big game
which will be held this afternoon at
Ryan's court on Howard street. The play
ers are: John Jones and j. Lawless against
j. RAardon and j. Harlow, best three out
of five games of 81 aces.
Jones, who is champion of Australia,
only recently arrived from New York. and
this will be his first appearance in public
since his return. OF the famous handball
player Phil Casey, Jones says that not
outstanding his age he still possesses Won
derful powers of endurance and can de-
feat any man living, not barring Lawlor,
the Irish champion, who recently cha!-
lenged him in the New York papers.
Jones will give an exhibition of how Law
Tor and Casey play when the event of the
day is finished.

anything like good bag of waterfowl.
Last Sunday morning weil-knOwn
patron OF the Scnoma marshes shot thirty
seven duck near Burdells over decoys.
He was, of course, early at his stand, and
had a very nice shoot up to about 8
O'Clock. when the birds. with the excep-
ton Of stragglers, QUIT flying over the
swamps. Another "early bird hunter
bsgged twenty-five. and several smaller
bags resulted.
On the other side, in the vicinity Of
Sears Point and Tubbs Island, the shoot
ing was not so good, although some very
nice bags of canvasback. widgeon and
sprig fell to the good aim of the early
morn hunters.
AT Black Point the shooting was not
very good as the birds seemed restless
and were looking for some favorite place
to land. They were flying high, and only
high flying guns could reach them. AS the
tide will answer to-day-it being high
water about noon-the shooting should be
good.
During the week past several fine bags
of duck were made by Oakland hunters
who shot on the San Pablo marshes.

Sunday. No less than tnirty-two long
tails were out in a bunch on Thursday
morning last, accompanied by their various
trainers.
Six of the dogs. which are owned by L.
CronlD. were all looking in the PINK ni

dogs and one or two others: he is training
for the Newark meeting. Jerry Snea
trainer had also five or SIX hne does,
among which were noticed the FLYER Moon

There is at Great Bend, Kans., cours-
ing club composed of boys, the oldest OF
whom is not more than 20 years. 1t Is
called the kid" CouIsing Club, and from
accounts it promises to OutTlval In many
respects the clubs which are now conduct
ing coursing on the other side of the big
mountains.
This is what an exchange says of the
kid coursers: "The boys have organized
club. with membership fee of 30 cents
and annual dues of % cents, and for three
years have he'd meetings in the fall on the
Cheyenne Bottoms. They borrow dogs to
run. and generally fill IL sixteen at hall
dollar entrance; Ills year foxhound was
put in to fill up. The meeting was held on
Saturday. October q. and attracted an al
tendance of over 100. A few dollars were
donated by some OF the Great Bend people.
and first money was won by Mr.. Patrick
Bowen's son, who ran Mr.. D. Grey's fawn
and white bitch What Care /. A boy
named Johnny Wellesley judged, and one
named Jerry" Simpson was slipper; both
did fairly well. We hope the boys will
grow up to be good sp0rtsmen and stanch
supporters Of coursing."

Grilse are very plentiful in the lagoon
at Pescadero and the country boys are
having good sport.
At Point Reyes quite number of small
fish have been caught recently.
Mr.. Otto Brannsdorf got very nice bas-
ket of fish at the White House last Sun
day.
Chief Deputy Fish Commissioner Bah
cock appeared before the Board of Super
visors of Son0ma County last Friday 10
urge the passage of an ordinance prohibit
ing the use of nets in Russian River.
After some discussion the board unani-
mously passed an ordinance prohibiting
the use of nets and selnes from November
1 to April of each year. This covers the
period when the so-called salmon or steel
heads come in to the river from the Sc a to
spawn. They are in reality trout, and all
the rainbow trout found in the river are
their progeny.
Mr.. Babcock says that the Fish Commits
sion and the Sheriff of Sonoma will
strictly enforce the ordinance, its effeci
being to restore the trout-fs hing of Rus
sian River and its tributaries. now almost
entirely depleted.
BY actual measurement the river and its
numerous tributaries cover a stretch OF 75C

Eastern exchange: Attorney General
Childs of Minnesota recently rendered n
opinion as to the definition of the " ord
''fawn" as used in the game laws of that
State. announcing that the term applies 10
ali deer under one year old. This deris-
ion, therefore. makes it unlawful In Min

cocker spaniel was the cause of suit for
damages in the City Court, Brooklyn.
which was decided on Wedne sday. the
18th. John Mccormack keeps adry-goods
store on Fifth avenue. Brooklyn. and has
a fancy for cocker spanieIs, one of which
was in his store one evening in August
last. A Miss Williams was standing IN
front of the store when the little dog ran
out and somehow the two got mixed up,
and Miss Williams had fall, from which
she claims she suffered much. She brought
suit for $4,000 damages. and the answer
of the defense was that the dog was not Il
trespasser and that there was no negli-
gence on the part of his owner. The court
took the same view and dismissed the case.

NEW TIME CARD.
The Southern Pacific's
Winter Schedule.
The Union Pacific's First Tlove in
Its War on the Western Pas
senger Association.

The winter time-card of the Southern
Pacific Railroad will not 60 into effect un-
til the 18th inst. BY its provisions No. 8,
the central overland. which now leaves at
: P. NJ, will leave at P. NJ, arriving at
Ogden at the same time as at present.
No. 4 from the East will arrive at 9:45
A. NJ. in stead OF :45 A. NJ.
The Oregon train will arrive at 10:45
A. NJ. in stead OF 0:15 A. NJ.
No. 2. the overland express. will arrive
at 6;45 A. NJ. instead Of 9: 45 P. VI.
A few minor changes are also made in
the card, but are not of sufficient impor-
lance to merit mention.
Vice-President Name of the Central
Railroad of Guatemala. who has been in
the city for several days, says the road
which he represents has suffered severely
from the depreciation in silver, one of the
principal industries of that country being
the mining of that metal. Otherwise the
road is in prosperous condition. The
Central is controlled by the Huntington
Croker interests. but has no other con-
nectiOn with the Southern Pacific.
The action of the Union Pacific, as
telegraphed from the East yesterday, in
deciding to paw commissions TO agents in
eastbound California business is IA direct
slap at the Western Passenger Association
with which organization the Union Pacific
has Just severed its connection. 1t is only
week or two since the Western Assucia-
ton. through its chairman, ruled that
commissions should be paid on the
traffic mentioned only to those agents
handling the tickets of the routes over
which the transportation was secured.
TO make the matter palmer. If the agent
of the Wabash road in this city were to
sell ticket over the Rock Island line be
would receive no compensation for it be-
cause he does not handle Rock Island
tickets.
The action of the Union Pacific is simply
bid for business from the agents OF out
side lines and it locks as If the Western
Passenger Association would be compelled,
as a matter of self-preservation, to take
some steps to counterfeit the effects of the
Union PacIfic's latest move.
1t has passed into pr0verb among rail
road men that "a road in the hands of re-
ceiver is nvulnerable to attach" and it
looks now as though the Passenger AS
ISOLATION would have an opportunity of de-
termining just how much or how little
truth there is in the saying.

COURSING.
Dogs That Are Being Trained for
Two important Meetings.

Since the announcement that two big
coursiDg events will be held on Thanks
giving day the admirers of the good old
sport who have dogs of their own or some
other persons dogs are jubilant over the
prospects of scoring big killing either in
the field or in the pool box. However, the
interest in coursing has spread TO sur
prising extent within the past few months.
and local courser who does not own n
dog nowadays is looked upon by the royal
fraternity as being only side issue. Sun
day, above all other days of the week,
is the one which Is hailed with delight bv
tine devotees Of the leash. Bright and
early houndsmen. hounds and slippers can
be seen wandering in divers directions
toward the camplng-grounds OF the rural
jack. Petaluma is a favOrte spot OF the
local fraternity.
On the early Sunday train from Tiburon
to the country burg three special cars are
attached to the regular pasSeDgeT-tram to
accommodate the leashmen and duck
hunters. Dogs of all cOlOrs, breeds and
pedigrees accompany their masters to the
hunting grounds, and, indeed, novel
sight the latter present. dressed in their
best outing suits. The houndsmen look
with jealous eyes upon the gunners who
spin yarns concerning the bags OF jack
passed. If there is anything annoying
and vexatious to a cours!ng man 1t Is to
learn of the death of a rabbit by means OF
the gun. To his way Of thinking, rabbits
were intended only for one purpose and
that is coursinH. There is certainly little
sport in shooting them, as they afford too
easy mark, and as a consequence only
pot-hun,ers nowadays look for them.
Last Sunday at least thirty coursers
journeyed with their lOng-nosed. long
legged and long tailed flyers to Petaluma.
where conyeyances awaited their arrival.
According to Petaiuma exchange the
dogmen enjoyed few hours of good cou:s-
ing ON piece of open property about i've
some very laughable remarks were heard
concerning coursing in fields that were en-
closed by wire fences. One Of the party.
a Mr.. Demonar, stated that il the next
Governor would induce the Legislature to
pass law prohibiting the use OF wire
fences he and his fifteen sons would
vote for him no matter II his
politics were Republican. And the mem
Der of the happy family said that it
wouldn't be bad idea if the secretary Of
the San Francisco Coursing Club sent an
invitation to President Cleveland to at
tend the next meeting. He gave as rea-
son that the President was great lover OF
long-tails, and must consequently be a
strong supporter of coursing.
Yes, coursing is rapidly coming to the
front as favOrite pastime, which it GER
talnly should be when properly conducted.

to see on the Point Lobos road in the early
mornings the number of dogs hat are now

Clubs meeting, which will be held at New

when flushed dart around trees as IL they
knew what was coming, and grassing
quail on the open land, wnere a clear tar
get is presented while the band Is within
range, are, indeed. very different PROPOSE
tions. 1t is no credit TO a man to bag nine
out of a dozen birds in an open country
but. on the other hand, man who can
grass seven out of twelve birds where snap
shooting must be employed is worthy of
praise.
1t is not the show OF birds, but the merits
of the kills that must be taken into consid-
Grafton when figuring upon sportsman
bag. AS general thing the pot-hunters
show up the best bags OF game.
In last Sundays issue mention was made
of the crack pointer dogs, Glen belgh. the
property of Howard Vernon. and Shot,
who is now in the care of James c. Nealon.
The CALL stated that SHOT had the better
looking head and that the relationship be-
tween the two dogs was close. 1t has since

THE GUN.
Good Morning Shooting on the So.
nOma Marshes.

Duck-hunters are disappointed thatmore
rain had not fallen during the past week
They coz tend that good days heavy rain
is necessary to fill the many dry ponds on
the marshes before anything like good
shooting will be had. 1t may possibly be
that the next time it rains it will pour.
and of course that will be sufficient Motif
cation for the duck family to wing their
passage southwark, where the open fields
of young grain present most favorable in
ducements to the auackers to remain over
and enjoy themselves.
Yes, there may not have been a sufficient
quantity of rain TO guarantee good shooting
on the marshes. vet there are plenty of
birds in, and, as stated in last Sundays
issue, the hunter who will be in his
blind" early will reap the benefits of his
labor provided he can use q gun 10 good
advantage. Hunters who leave this city

HANDBALL.
A Pastime That Is Leading All of the
Indoor Games.

1t astonishes old patrons of indoor sport
to see how handDall has jumped into
prominence since the Olympic Club went
into its new quarters on Post street. at
first small court was constructed within
close proximity of the roof of the building
where ventilation was decidedly poor
Notwithstanding this great drawback, the
boys could not resist the fascination of the
game, and in few months the board of
directors, at the earnest request of the
players, had two fine courts constructed
on the lower floor of the building. This
the officers thought would be more
than enough for those who patroniZed
the game and they gave the matter
no further thought until recently, when
they were appraised of the fact that owing
to great increase of players it may be
necessary. in the near future to construct
a third handball court There are two
frst-class courts at the Olympic outdoor
ground, which are always occupied on

Football is occupying the attention of
the athletes, and much speculation as to
the result of the great college game on the
30th inst now results.
CourSing is rapidly coming to the front.
. The two meetings booked for Thanks
giving day have stirred up great interest in
the sport.
The gun men are having fairly good
time, but game is not as plentiful as
sportsmen desire.

been learned that there is no blood con-
nections between them and that Mr.. Nea-
Ions dog has sprung from an entirely diff
ferent family of pointers in old Ireland.
Shots record may appear later on,
when his former owner will have time to
hunt it up. AS a snipe dog there is no
better in America than Shot, and 1t is I'M
derstood that he is tOlerably good on quail.
Jack Sammi gave few of his friends a
very pleasant evenings entertainment at
his residence, Thirteenth street, last
Wednesday evening. As they were all
sportsmen and anglers present. at the
special request of Thomas Irvine, he de-
livered very interesting essay on the
succUlent mudhen.

whom gave brief experiences of their hunt
