Good Sport on the Truckee and Eel

among fishermen that at the present time the
Truckee River affords better sport than any
stream In the State. Anyhow iJ has become
popular suddenly and numerous parties are
camping along lis sides. Trout planted there
by the Fish Commissioners are giving the
fishermen no end OF enjoyment, but as different
varieties were turned loose in those mountain
waters some confusion has arisen over classifi.

CALL.
Many owners of greyhouuds are now to be
seen AT early dawn, accompanied by their long
tailed taV0rlteS, on the various roads that lead
out of the city toward San MaleO and the sand
hills on each side OF the park. There are at
least thirty hounds now doing their preliminary
work III nd around this city, many OF which
are capable of accomplishing great results on
the cOursing fields and iii to measure strides
with their kind in any part OF the world.
Among them are Wee Lassie, Long John,
Jack Dempsey. Doity Dimple. John Mitchell,
FaShllght, Barney +, besides many OF the
young ones who have yet TO make a name for
themselves, but from their appearance and
breeding leave little doubt In the minds of their
various owners that they will be able TO COM
pete successfully with many Of the well-knowu
hounds on the cOursng fields before the season
is half over.
