ball team, an organization of which all the
pupils are justly proud, as they have won
many iaurels for the Capital City students.
In their last game, when in competition
with the athletes of the Stockton High
School, they suffered defeat, but the boys
claim that they played under disadvan-
tages too great to overcome, three of their
best men having been sick, two of the line
thrown out on account of graduating. and
with but two days practice they went
against a team that aside from all OBJ
stacleS would make them play ball at any
time. They say that when the fall season
opens If granted return game they Will
make it far more interesting for their gal
liant competitors.

Governor Budd, who has been soiourn-
ing for the past week at Klamath Hot
Springs, has been having famous sport
among the trout of that region. Casting
with his left hand, the right having been
crippled with rheumatism, his Excellency
landed seventeen fine rainbow trout, and
on the 9Th inst. he killed seventy-five fish
with the fly.
Anglers from the locality of Truckee re-
mort the river full of sawdust, and the mat
ter will be investigated by the Fish Com
mission.

II. F. McCraney, department clerk of the
Supreme Court, has negotiated for hunt
ing lodge midway between Bartlett and
Crabtree springs in Lake County. He has
lust returned from that locality, and states
that people there report more deer in the
vicinity than was ever known before, and
that the woods are literally alive with
young grouse and mountain quail and the
streams well stocked with trout. In fact,
it is a veritable sportsman's paradise.
The Kimball and Epson bluerock tour
nament, open TO all corners, begins this
morning, but the principal events are re-
served for tomorrow. The inducements
are far above the average, and viii COM
mand the meet of the season. Fifteen of
the leading shots of the bay clubs have
promised to be present, and the list of
clean scores will probably be numerous.

match OF twenty birds, for a shotgun,
there will be all of seventy-ive entries.
This is the event of the season in this To-
cality, and Sacramento trap-shooters hope
to redeem the prestige they lost at Marys-
vile, when the San Francisco boys
whipped them. RUTHERFORD.
