The friends of Moth, the German
wrestler, did not hesitate last evening to
take up any bets offered tha5 Mcleod
would win the match, which will be de-
cided this evening at the AlcaZar. As
stated in last Sundays CALL, the men are
10 wrestle in accordance with Greco
Roman rules, and to win Mcleod must
down" Moth three times in one hour.
The Scolchman may possibly be equal
to the task. but it is, nevertheless, diff
cult undertaking when it is taken into con-

Frank H. Wheeler. a prominent mem
her of the State Sp0rtSmen'S Association,
reports that on his return yesterday from
Bolinas he saw large doe lying dead on
the road within half mile OF Liberty5
which is a we'll known anglers resort on
the Bolinas road. and near her stood two
spotted faWnS that remained by the
mothers dead body until Mr.. Wheeler got
within few yards of them. The gentle
man examined the carcass, and found that
the deer was shot through the right shoul-
der the ball breaking one OF lis fore legs.
While examining the dead animal two
hounds came dashing down the road, and
Mr. Wheeler states that he would have
given a good deal if he had revolver IN
his possession at the time, although the
;doga were not to be blamed for running
deer, and consequently il would not be just
to shoot them.
He remained, however, some time near
the carcass purpOsely TO catch the scoun-
dres VINO had shot at the doe. but they
evidently had seen him and kept their
hands off the pie.

sioners say that they have their hands full
in watching the Chinese who fish in the
bay for shrimp and small hsh which are
dried and sent to China on every outgoing
steamer. There is a law which protects
the small fishes of our bay, but as there is
no one to enforce this law the Chinese
have free and open sailing, and as result
the bay is annually becoming depleted OF
It's finny tribe, while the Chinese and their
friends are growing rich and indolent.
