birds have begun to arrive from the south,
and that the prospect for little sport near

eral weeks.
A letter TO THE CALL from San Pablo
gives very good accounts of the duck-shoot-
ing that is now being had along the shores
of the bay from Steges Point to San Pablo.
During the past week several good bags of
teal, butterball, bluebill and canvasback
were made by duck-hunters from Oakland
and Berkeley.
From AlyiSo fairly good reports have ar
rived of the numbers of birds that have
been seen on the mud fats near the bay.
Hunters who do their shooting in the
Sonoma marshes have had very poor sport
recently. With the exception OF some blue
bill and teal duck the marshes are deserted
of featbered game.

with the work the professor had already
done. asked the name of this youngsh,
fresh-colored individual, who was entering
in very modest and unassuming way.
His name is Owen" was the reply. The
Italian scientist accordingly made his way
over TO Owen and said tn him: And how is
your respected father?" Owen took In the
situation at glance. and replied gravely:

Alr. Ferguson has sought fame in differ

football team has participated with dis
tinction in all the exciting contests that
have taken place between the Pacific Wan
deTers and the Thistle team. Mr.. Ferguson

an ex-m ember of the famous RentOn Club,
which held the championship OF Great Brit

1883. He is an enthusiast on association
football, and as a clever exponent of the
game has done much to advance 1t on this
coast.
On the afternoon Of the 18th inst a great
game of intercollegiate football will take
place at Central Park between teams repre-
senting the army and the University of CAL
lfornia. q few members Of the Stanford

large crowd of people who assemble at the
Haight-street baseball grounds to witness
the boys at their work.

than the previous one and there is little il
any doubt but that before the present series
Of games is played the number of spec

almost equal the crowd present at the last
Stanford VS.. University game.
TIE game of this afternoon gives promise
OF being one Of the best of the season. Cap

present a better team than any that the
lovers OF the sport have as yet seen and
that himself and every member of his team
will enter the field determined TO win.
The defeat of the Emmets by the Par

Costa boys that they can beat tbs "Con-

front.
Fearful of the result, Captain Hurley of

That Pretty Flower, the Cosmos.
Meehanis Mnnthiv

Mr.. N. +. Gresham suggests that some
brief notes on the history of this now popu-
lar flower might be interesting. The name
is, pure Greek, kosmos. that Is beautiful,
and was given by the celebrated Sranisl
priest DO tanist. Cavanilles, to this genus.
from the beauty of the purple and yellow
flowers of the original species on which the
genus was founded. They favor low
grounds and brooksides in parts Of Mexico,
as our Bidens do here They are closely
related to the latter genus, and to the
dahlia. Though c. bipinnat ifida has been
introduced to European cultivation for
nearly 100 years. It's only OF late years that
the daisy" family has gained a place in
popular fancy, and that cosmos has been
found to be an annual eminently suited to
American taste and American gardening.

Since the era Of Christianity the small child at It's

many u inisters IN California; but none are held in
greater respect than the Rev. Thomas Martin of
Las GatOs. His son ana namesake Thomas Martin
Jr, was falling day by day, and like the indulgent
parent. he sent him to different physicians who for
skill are supposed to stand high. They failed to
effect cure, and then 1t was that the now famous
Cosmopolitan Dispensary visited. Ask the
Reverend gentleman what the result was. HI ia

that restored to life and happiness his son.
