THE SHOOTING FESTIVAL,
It Will Begin Tomorrow at Sohuetzen
Park and All the Cracks Will
Be There.

The California Schuetzen Club will be-
gin its annual festival at Schuetzen Park,
near San Rafael, tomorrow and it
will be conducted Sunday week. The
various contests will be at the "man,"
ring and "point'' targets, and
large prizes have been offered in every
class. Among those who will contest will
be all the members of the California team
which carried off the honors in the East,
and the veterans will be led by Philo
Jacoby. 1t is expected that Adolph
Strecker will carry off the honors and be
crowned shooting king, but there is large
following that pin their faith to George
Helm and others again who think an out
slider will carry off the coveted prize.
The contests tomorrow will decide who
is to be "Schuetzen king" In this case
the best marksman will win. The San
Francisco Club decides who shall be king
by the shooting away of the prepared
eagle, the shooter bringing down the last
portion being crowned king. The Califor-
mia Club, however, has no eagle but settles
the question ON the point target. Over
$500 in money and trophies will be given
away during the two days contest.
Few societies can boast of such patriotic
origin as the California Schuetzen Club.
1t was started for the express purpose of
defending the honor of California at the
great Centennial rifle competition in Phil
adelphia in 1876. All the prominent
shooters joined and Philo Jacoby, Adolph
Strecker, A. Rahwyler, William Streuli,
William Koenig, ia. Bauer and William
Ehrenpfort were chosen to represent the
Golden West. Nine States were repre-
scented, and the California boys carried off
the honors with score of 1905 against
1139 made by the Helvetia Club of Phila-
delphia.
Philo Jacoby was president of the club
up to two years ago, when he resigned, but
he still retains an active interest in the
organization. Since the organization of

SPORT ABOUT UKIAH.
A Party of Anglers Camp on Ten
Mile River.

Mile River.
UKIAH, CAL, Aug. 15.-Good strings of
fish are yet caught. but the distance to be
travelled to get them is little greater than
in the early season.
In virgin spots, where.the streams are
practically free from invasion by the anna
teur fisherman and the sportsman, for an
afternoon, only, there is good sport.
Near the source of Ten-mile River an
outing party recently had rare sport. It
was composed of l.. j. Chapman, Superin-
tendent of Schoo Is of Santa Clara County ;
II. Barnes of Healdsburg. DR.. George j.
Brown of Fort Bragg acted as escort to the
party from the coast inward.
The first evening in camp DR.. Coffman
killed fine four-point buck, and Professor
Chapman caught a basketfuI of fine trout,
averaging seven inches.
The duties were assigned in accord with
the experience of the occupants of camp as
follows: L. J. Chapman, angler; DR.. Coff-
man, heavy game; Mr.. Hatman, cook; w.
II. Barnes, steward; DR.. George ]. Brown,
jester. For one of the stories the doctor
told, however, he was expelled from camp
and he never returned.
a pleasanter time was never had by any
party, and as they returned by way of
Ukiah, bearded and dusty, they were loud
in their praises of the magnificent oppor-
tunities afforded by Mendocino for outing
pleasures.
H. l.. Eastman and J. A. Cooper took
short trip to Reeves Creek on last Sunday.
These gentlemen are both skilled fisher
men and found no trouble in bagging lot
of fine trout. Mr.. Eastman hooked one

purpose of organizing what is to be known
as the Visalia Cuban all-round club, in
Guiding athletic, bicycle, tennis, reading
and social features.
1t is proposed to raise $4,000, purchase
grounds as near the business center of the
city as possible and there erect a hand
some clubhouse, wherein can be found a
gymnasium, reading-room, cardroom, bill
iard-room, dance hall, baths and banquet
room. The building is to be an S0x4O two
story structure. r:se.
Next to the Valley Railroad this is. what
this city needs, and it should be given
every encouragement by the residents.
Mayor Adams is an enthusiastic sup
porter of the scheme, and many of the
leading business men are warmly support
ing the project, so that it is pretty safe to
say that the club is an assured fact:
If there is any one class of persons in
community that absolutely requires care
and attention it is the young boy, and such
an institution as is the Visalia Club can do
more in this line than all the charities in
the land. Upon the youth of a community
depends its stability, and everything that
tends to make manly men, physically and
morally, of them should be given the
united support of the community.
Quite number of disciples of Nimrod
have lately developed. The Visalia Gun
Club has developed some members that
make frst-rate showing in the shooting
world. AT Fresno last Sunday a contest
was held. and Fox, e. e. McVey and
James Rice represented the Visalia Gun

CATALINA ISLAND GOATS.
Several Are Killed by a Party of
SportSmen.

AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND, Aug. 15.-
General A. w. Barrett left the island, en-
route to Sacramento, yesterday, happy in
the conviction that he had landed as fine a
catch of fish as any one at Catalina this
season. In company with a party of a
dozen others, including Major ]. T. Has
kell, q. s. A., one of the instructors IN the
military school at Fort Leavenworth.
Kans. General Barrett captured no less than
twenty-eight fine fish, aggregating over
500 pounds. The catch included seven
teen yellowt ails and eleven barracuda.
A quartet of Northern gentlemen, in
Guiding E. L, and R. M. Fitzgerald of San
Francisco, Wilbur F. George of Sacra-
me nto and n. A. Rideout of Marysville,
went goat-hunting yesterday, accompanied
by a party of Los Angeles gentlemen.
They went via the burro route, were ac-
companied by competent guides, and spent
tn. entire day in prowling about the .inte-
rior mountain Businesses of Catalina COM
ing in at night so tired that Mr.. George
rashly vowed he wouldn't repeat the days
adventures within week even If he knew
the goats horns were tipped with gold.
The party came upon band of some
sixty head of goats and rained at least q
hundred shots at their prospective prey,
telling two noble animals, the balance of
the band stampeding in great shape. The
energetic sportsmen, not to be baff1ed of
such noble game, however, re-enforced
their physical energies with lunch and
generous quaffs of Coronado water and
then went on and intercepted the band
about two miles beyond the point where
the first battle occurred. This time they
were more successful and felled four, the
largest of which measured fully 20 inches
across the horns. One saucy and indie
pendent white fellow was knocked down
by a bullet. but when the hunters ap-
by shower of shots, in spite of which the
game animal made good his escape. The
trip was full of exciting adventure and not
without many amusing incidents.
Messrs. Fitzgerald will leave the island
to morrow for Los Angeles, where dinner
will be given at the California Club on Sat-
urday evening, and on Monday they will
sail for San Francisco on the Santa Rosa.

BaV Fishing.

Bay fishing continues good and large
catches of rockcod and other varieties of
fish are reported from all the principal
fishing banks near the Sausalito and Tt
huron shores.
On Monday Gus Johnson, the we'll
known angler. and companion caught over
100 pounds of red rockcod at the Lime
Point fog-whistle, some of them weighing
from two to three pounds.
On Wednesday DR.. Landelin, from Oak
land, with two companions, brought in a
lot of red rockcod from the vicinity of
Lime Point, variously estimated at from
125 to 80 pounds, the largest weighing
four pounds and number weighing over
three pounds each.
The keepers of the Lime Point fog
whistle report having caught some very
large smelt at that place, some of them
weighing from two to three pounds each
and measuring over twenty inches in
length.
Good catches of rockcod are reported
from Tiburon. The best catches are said
to have been made from Belvedere Point
and from Battery Point on Angel Island.

THE RAILROAD CENSURED.
Its Trains Run at a High Rate
of Speed Within the
City Limits.
Two Deaths Have Resulted Through
Men Being Caught on the
Crossings.

If the relatives of the unknown man
who was killed by Southern Pacific train
on the 9th inst. at the crossing of Twenty
seventh and Dolores streets could only be
found they would have a good suit for
damages against the corporation. The
verdict of the Coroner's jury that inquired
into the case yesterday was:
That death was accidental, and while we ex-
onerate the engineer from all blame. we do
find that the law should be enforced limiting
the speed of trains in the City limits, and find
the railroad company responsible for permit
ting trains to run at greater speed than the
law permits.
The rate of speed fixed by law within
the City limits is ten miles an hour. Three
eye-witnesses testified that the train was
running at from fifty to sixty miles an
hour, the engineer admitted it was going
thirty miles, but the fireman stuck out for
eight miles an hour. Some of the railroad
witnesses swore that they heard the warn
ing whistle before the train rounded the
curve, but others said that the whistle was
not sounded until the engine was almost
upon the unfortunate man.
John r. Redmond of 311 Day street and
John Walsh and George Harris were all
under the trestle when the train came
laundering along. They saw the man
making his way over the bridge and all
join in saying that the speed of the train
was over fifty miles an hour. The train
was almost on the man before the whistle
was blown. Some boys who saw the man
earlier in the day say he was drunk, but
other witnesses swore that no man under
the influence of liquor could cross the
trestle without falling through and break
ing his neck.
Engineer Charles Steele admitted that
the train was moving at rate of thirty
miles an hour. AT that rate of speed it
would take from 800 to 1000 feet to come to
a stop, but it was only 200 feet from the
place where he first saw the man until the
engine was over him. He did not know
what rate of speed was allowed within the
City limits, but knew that he had to make
time. Fireman George Harris directly
contradicted his chief and swore that the
train was only running eight miles an
hour.
The inquest on the remains of the Italian
who was killed near the same crossing
is still to be held. He was driving home
from the City when the train came rush
ing around the corner and killed the man
and one of the horses. In this instance
also witnesses testify that the train was
running at high rate of speed and no
warning whistle was blown.

ability claim the worlds championship
now held by Casey. He has repeatedly
challenged Casey to play for the cham
pionship, but the latter always refused to
accept the challenge unless Lawlor con-
sented o play under the new rules to toss
from the ace line. This Lawlor would not
agree to, on the ground that Casey had
gained the cham pionship while playing
under the old rules, and should continue
to stick by the same rules.
When Jones, the Australian champion,
was in New k..Lawlor threw out chal-

stated and Jones because he was SICK and
not in proper condition to play. Now
Jones' friends in this City are prepared TO

challenge will be forwarded as soon as the
result is known. If Lawlor should VIII. he
will likely pay this City visit, as he has
