TIE GUN.
Features of the Emeric Bill Farmers
Will Kick At.

The representatives Of the Sportsmen's
Protective Association, who returned from
Sacramento after having suffered defeat in
the Assembly. are still confident that the
Emeric game bin viii meet with set back
when it reaches the Senate.
The sportsmen of this city made grand
battle in defense Of the boys who love the
spcrt Of cunning. but the representatives,
from the rural districts favored EmeTic's
side of the question, and as a result tie
committee from the spOrtsmen's sss0cia-
| ton met with n defeat.
Why the Emerie game bill, as read before
| the Assembly, should become a law Ia this
| land, puzzles a majority of San Franciscans
| who take pleasure in a days recreation
1 with gun and dog occasionally.
As previously stated in THE CALL, the
| laws as they stand az present are first class
1 IL properly observed.
| 1t is very seldom, indeed, that the arrest
| Of a eountryman for trespass or the shoot
! ing OF game cut Of season Is heard Of. Yet
| il Is well-knoWn fact that deer and quail
are being slaughtered in and out Of season
| By men who do not fear arrest simply be-
/ cause the officers whose duty il is 10 punish
/ offenders 90 not ever think Of carrying out
/ the LAW so lar as the game question Is con-
/ cerned.
To sum up the matter in a few words
/
| purpose OF preventing city sportsmsn of
| limited means from the enjoyment of a
! recreation they have by nature become at
I Tackled to.
The statement that If the bill should be-
I come a law game of all kinds would increase
ana multiply is most absurd.
There is a law now against trespass which
II carried out properly would materially
! assist 10 preserve the game that MT. Emeric
says is being killed of very rapidly.
II sDortsmen must procure gun licens
before entering upon property fHr the pur-
! pose OF shooting, IL Is 10 ba hoped that the
authorities OF the different counties will see
that the law is enforced. The city sports
men, generally speaking, can afford and will
pay license if need be 10 carry arms, but
! how viii the gun tax affect the farmer?
The Tanchers shoot considerable when
I local spOTtsmen are observing the game
laws. and it viii be found that event
ually the most vigorous objections TO the
licensing Of guns will come from the friends
Of the Assemblymen who voted in favor Of
the Emeric measure.
II Is 10 be hoped that the Senators who
/ Will pass Judgment On the game laws as IN
troduced by Emeric will carefully look into
them and knock out the Objectionable fea-
lures, which are many.

He caught my meaning and laughed mer-
rily rs he replied, I'VE might pass that fel-

the plain | clucked to my team, and they
sprang forward in pursuit Of the
other stage. l rapidly gained, and passen-
gers from both stages cried, "a race, a race"
The other driver whipped up his team and
sent them forward in run. just then

miner RULED his pistol and banged away.
My eight horses dashed off like the whiTl-
wind, and though [ shouted two or three
times, CLEAR the track, get out Of the road,

never budged an inch, but simply kept in
the middle Of the road. This was just what
l wanted, for my team was going al ire
mendous burst of speed, and when passed
the other coach / managed to strike hind

as though done with huge knife. Down
went the coach and out tumbled the pas
sengers, while mine yelled like madmen.

Henry Peterson. The champion of the
Pacific Coast. has received a letter from ].
G. Gaudaui, who is at present located at
Atherly. Ontario. in which the latter states
that he will row the Californian for $1,000 a
side and the championship of America at
Pullman. H., on May 80.
Since writing Gaudaur has made match
with Hanlsn which, in all probability, will
be the means of having the proposed match
between Peterson and GaudauI declared off.
Peterson says that owing to business mat
tiers which will not permit him TO journey
East until June or July, he could no: accept
of GauGaur's terms as stated.
Il cannot understand" said Peterson,
why Gaudaur. Hanlan or Teemer. all of
whom now claim the championship OF
America, refuse to row me on this coast.

Wallace Ross to a thTee-mile race for $500 q

A VALUABLE TEAM.
1t Hauled Enough to Make the Man
From Saginaw Wink.


The man from Saginaw was visiting the
national capital to see the sights. One day
on Pennsylvania avenue he saw a heavy,
close dark wagon. more like a black Maria
than anything else. and he asked bis guide
what il was.
"It's rather strange about that" said the
guide in he slowly didactc style. You've
been talking about the salaries Of officials
here, from the Presidents $4,000 a year
down. but do you know the horses to that
wagon beat them ali?'
THAT SOP" said the Saginawster. "They
don't look like they could earn more than S.
day anyhow. I've got better horses than
that to hire a So a day and feed"
The guide looked at his charge with pity.
why, my dear sir" he explained. those
horses draw millions from the treasury
every year"
The Saginaw man wouldn't have ii, and
said so with profane emphasis.
but il is true. nevertheless" insisted
the guide. That's the wagon they haul
the gold and silver in," and the Saginawster
looked at IL steadily.

The Contest Between Gaelic and AS

FOotballers were favored with good
weather on Sunday last and as a conse-
quence several lively games took place.
The association foOtballers held out as
usual at Central Park, the attraction being
the contest between the Rangers and ROveTs
for the Hilbert trophy.
The Rangers play was disappointing and
showed lack Of combination, although Kidd,
McKeand and Captain Brown made some
good individual plays.
The Rovers gave an exhibition which sur
pTised their friends and was fsvOrsbly COM
mented on by football experts.
This team contains six American boys
