awake disciples of the chase who had
taken advantage of an early start secured
good bags of game.
A sportsman whose hobby is quail-shoot-
ing finds ii hard matter TO remain at
home on the first day of the season, and
especially when his country cousin sends
fattering accounts of the excellent pros
poets for a mighty bag. Then again there
are his friends who remind him of quail
on toast and the preparations they have
made for a mess. His dogs are in need Of
a run, and perhaps among his kennel of
settlers or pointers there is a youngSter
whose qualities must be tested. With all
of th ose thoughts in mind. it is no wonder
that the metropolitan Sportsman rushes
from the ice chest into the frying-pan, all
because Of an Unborn love of the sport.
Quail shooting in California under
favorable conditions is the acme Of sport,
but at this time, when the hills are
bleached and the birds are slowed away in
the cool shade of the covert, only those
who are thorough enthusiasts expose their
anatomIes to the broiler and the musical
snipes.
Wait until King Boreas arrives, and at
his beck the clerk of the fl0Odgates
touches the button which will give the
pentup clouds an opportunity of shedding
tears upon the crusted earth. Then will
he the time to enjoy Quai-shootiEg over a
thoroughly broken brace of pointers,
which are unquestionably the better class

mittedIy the best dog for all-round pur-
poses.
The sportsman who dons the gumboot in
preference to the hunting shoe should not
waste any time in visiting the hunting
grounds bordering the Sacramento and San
JOAQUIN rivers as according to the latest
intelligence ''green heads" are very plen-
tiful and by no means shy of approach.
The war tn at is pending between the Teal
and Cordelia Shooting clubs on the Suisun
marshes is atfording the members of the
Tule Belle Club grand sport, as the birds
are driven from off the ponds OF the war
ring clubs into neutral grounds where
they are easily bagged by the Tulers.
The Teal Club has issued an invitation
to all sportsmen TO visit their swamps and
annoy the Cordelia Club by shooting at
long-distance objects. The bags made on
either side are not heavy, but nevertheless
the noise of the guns and the pleasure OF
seeing feathers pack awav meat is reported
by the president Of the Teal Club as being
the proper caper.
On the south SIDE of the river from An
tioch TO Stockton there are many UMPIRE
served localities where good duck-shooting
can now be had. The sport will remain
satisfactory until after the first heavy
storm, when the birds will journey into
the interior, where the man who carries his
gun on the back of a trained mule will
have his inning.

ATHLETICS.
Why the Championship Games Have
Small Charms for Amateurs.

The following letter. concerning the
championship games, from The CALL S
athletic correspondent "Pedocus" cannot
fail to interest track and field athletes, as
be gives excellent reasons why the event
of the year in athletics is lacking in its
attraction to amateurs:
1.-THE coast championship games come off
at the Olympic Club grounds on Saturday,
the 14th inst. ana the programme consists
of 100, 300, $40 and $50 yard runs, three
mile run, two-n.le walk, 120 and 900 yard
hurdle. running high jump, running broad
jump, pole vault for height. putting TO-
pound shot, throwing 16-pound hammer
and 56-p0unG weight.
There is not the same interest attache d
to the championship games this year as of
preceding ones, owing to the action OF the
Amateur Athletic Union, who have ceased
to sanction a competition between clubs
for championship pennant
They assign the reason that in the East
clubs like the defunct Manhattan and the
New York Athletic, who had money at
their disposal, offered inducements to ath-
leteS OF ability in smaller organizations to
join them, so as to place their club In a
better position to carry off championship
honors. Looking at the action of the
Eastern clubs and the athletes connected
with them from an amateur standpoint
] consider both in the same light as pro-
fessionals There are instances where the
above mentioned clubs have paid as much
as $500 indirectly for champion athlete to
Join their organization, and when these
facts are taken into consideration 1t was
high time that the A. A. U. took some
action in the matter.
although there will be no pennant
to compete for on the 18th inst, l ex-
pect TO see the most successful cham
| pionship games that have ever been held
on the coast, There is hardly a doubt but

now growing in abundance. The men,
bers of the Tule Belle Club are: Charles
Josslyn, president; William Tevls, vice
president; l.. Kellogg. J. d. Grant. f.
Sharon, G. Blauding and Judge Hayne.
Speaking of MongOlian pheasants the
Folsom Telegraph says: Warden Aull has
received consignment OF Monaghan
pheasanis. consisting of three cocks and
six hens, and has prepared suitable
place to keep them. He expects To be
able to raise 300 by next season. The
pheasant is prolific breeder, and it will
not take long to populate this and ad-
jacent counties with this magnificent game
bird. A few years ago couple of dozen
were imported into Oregon. The Legis-
lature of that State protected them, and
now they are so abundant that theshunt-
ers do not materially decrease them. Our
last Legislature also passed stringent
law protecting them for three years. ANY
person found with one in his possession
is subject to heavy fine.
The Warden ana other spOrtsmen will
see to it that all such cases are prosecuted
to the full extent OF the law 1t is the
intention to set the eggs under domestic
hens, and when the brood is about the size
of quail to release them in various parts OF
the surrounding country. BY the time the
law expires they will be so plentiful that
sportsmen can look forward 70 splendid
hunting. Inc enterprise snOulu De en-
couraged, and amateur hunters must be
careful for the next two years if they want
to avoid trouble.
'It will he very trying to see magnif-
cent cock pheasant rise out OF the bushes
and refrain from shooting at it; but all
genuine sportsmen should realize the oh.
iect of the law and endeavor to have it
enforced"
The birds were Matched by domestic
owls of 4 no nj ~,
and under the watchful eye of John f.
Cayanaugh. The eggs were procured in
Oregon.
It is an easy matter for any one to breed
these pheasants. and there is money in il,
as the birds bring from S. to $40 pair.

son or John X. Orr, one of the best local
Quail-Stoppers. Sammie is a great lover
of dogs anG takes pride in purchasing the
very best stock obtainable. The picture
is faithful representation or HOrnell
Bess, by Lassie G-Hornell Sam, and her
litter of youngsters. Mrs. Il. Bess won
third prize at the last show held in this
city, ana first at Seattle. where she had a
large number OF competitors.
Among the quail-trampers who used
handkeIchiefs freelv last Sunday were
DIR. o. w. Jones. E. A. Wolf and C.
Simmons. Wolf shot over his pointer
Sadie. and Simmons pulled trigger over
his English setter Teal. The sportsmen
report having had hard tramping after
birds which had been shot at previous to
the opening OF the season. They, how
ever, bagged fifty quail, which they con-
sidered good shooting, considering the
weather and the wild nature of the game.
Al Truman ami his crack pointer and
settlers visited Moore's ranch in Contra
Costa County last week. The well-known
breeder of fancy stock states that his re-
Gently imported Irish setter did splendidly
and stood the race well, considering that
his feet were badly used up before half the
day. work was completed.
Ed Briggs secured O very nice bag Of
birds at his favorite resort, San Pedro
ranch.
NJ. Stackpool and party returned with
several dozen quail from the old Mission
San Jose.
Henry Skinner, the corpulent quail
puncher, is of the opinion that only men
of incipient thoughts would venture into
the country at this season of the year. Mi.
Skinner believes, like many others, that
quail are never good until they are wet
1t must be remembered, however. that Mr.
Skinner is temperance man and an au-
thOrity on all matters that pertain 10 gun

The food upon which the wild ducks exist,
are enemies of the mosquito, because they
destroy the larya or eggs of the latter.
The keeper has also discovered that the
white pelicans have greatly reduced the
numbers of carp in the small sloughs,
with the result that the wild celery which
the club had planted few years ago is
