reports more game in Sacramento County this
year than has been known in years. and is fully
borne out in his statement by all local shots
who have been out prospecting for doves. Hun
dreds of mallard and teal can be found on the
sloughs near the city limits, and are so tame
that the report of gun fails to start them to
wing, and Helm reports having seen an enor-
nous number of spotted breast hawks this sea-
son during one of his trips along the Cosum-
mes River; he saw two f1ocks of these game-de-
stroyers in all containing at least sixty hawks
One flock OF thlrty-fiYe were lowering over
heavy OF quail that were in the willows along
the river bank. Helm threw his gun together
and killed six out of the flock before they left
the vicinity. He claims that in all his many
years experience in forest and field he never
saw hawks consorting in fiocks before, and in
such numbers.
the largest OF the season and the boats have
made money and are improving every hour, as
the season closes on August 81.
George Chapman and ]. Shilling, who have
been making Sunday raids on the trout streams
near Cisco, killed thirty-ive and thirty-six
Dolly Warden trout last Sunday.
The road members of the Capital City Wheel
mems Club made the run to Folsom last Sun
day, twenty-five miles and return, with over
twenty participants. The club is well on the
road to prosperity.
Miss Crocker, Elliott, Hursh and Epson, some
OF Sacramento's crack wheelmen, were in at
tendance during the meets of the Pacific Cy-
cllsts at Dixon and Woodland. They report the
circuit riders meeting with favor all over
the state, and honors are being divided very
evenly.
The East Park Association will lay a two-lap
mile bicycle track at the park next season,
which they claim will be theH best in the State.
The Capitol City Club has adopted the follow
ing schedule of laws: The speed of bicycling
within the city limits must not exceed eight
miles an hour; approaching vehicles, cyclists
must pass to the right, and when overtaking
vehicles they must pass to the left, always
sounding bells.
Tennis is rapidly becoming popular and the

The directors of the State Agricultural So.
ciety have offered medal for match of
doubles between Driscoll and De Long VS.. the
Hardy Brothers. The match will take place in
the courts of the Capitol Tennis Club and will
be the event of the season Tennis was the
principal sport at the courts at Bartlett Springs
this season. Among the ladies Mrs. Warner,
Miss Shocks and Miss Davis-the latter two
being Sacramento experts with the racket

to-day's.CALL. The Italians were SO confident OF
the success of their man that they wagered
over $4,000 on the result. Podesta is an old
hand at the business and was conslded lnvln-
chile. So great was the interest taken in the
event by all classes that fully 5000 people wit
messed it.
letic Association took place, and q nun Der OF
members of the Stockton Gun Club partici-
pated. The day was perfect one, and some
good scores were made. The new grounds OF
the association at Goodwater Grove were used
for the first time. A sheltered grand stand has
been erected for the benefit OF spectators, and
there are few places in the State better fitted
for trap shooting than the place selected by
the Gun Club annex of the Athletic Associa-
tion George Schaeffei of Sperry & Co. and
l.. Payne tried for first place with forty-six
birds each to their credit Since then
there has sprung up great rivalry between
the two and Payne has challenged Schaeffer
to a match on Sunday at twenty-five birds each
and has deposited $50 forfeit with your CORE
spondent to bind it. If the match is made it
will in reality be one between representatives
of the Stockton Gun Club and the Gun Club
annex of the Athletic Association, as Payne
represents the one and Schaeffer the other.
There are many better shots in both clubs than
either of these men and Stocktonians think
they can pick up ten men who can defeat
similar number from any one club on the
coast. Trap shooting is having regular boom
and there are more enthusiasts here who love
this sport in proportion to the population than
in any other city on the coast. The match that
with the Empire Gun Club has fallen through
for the present.
Wednesday night the Stockton Athletic Asso.
citation gave its first exhibition at its new
gymnasium. The affair was a very creditable
one, as the members have only had the use of
the gymnasium and apparatus since the middle
of July. Some clever wrestlers have been de-
veloped since Charles Moth was engaged as in
structor, and there are many good boxers In
the club. The gymnasium was crowded with
visitors and good exhibition was given.
Stockton possesses in Sam Frankenheimer, q
brother of Jules, the stocky helfback of STAN
ford, one of the best heavyweight boxers on
the coast. He has often made Charlie Turner
quit and is as good a man as ever. Franken-
heimer boxed an exhibition bout with Moth
Wednesday night.
The field captain of the association is pick
ing out football team to go against those rep
resenting the Reliance and Olympic clubs this
year. He is an old hand at the business and
has some splendid material TO draw from.
Stockton will be heard from this year in foot
ball circles. There are a number of old col
lege players here and much new material
match has been finally arranged between
Charles Moth and a farmer named Seeley of
London to wrestle five bouts on September 90.
The styles are to be side hold and catch-as-
catch-can.

DUPING THE MERCHANTS.

The Manufacturers' Associations Name
Used by Bogus Collectors.
Secretary Mead of the Manufacturers
and Producers Association has sent the
following card to the members:
1t has just been brought to our attention
that person or persons are calling upon our
members soliciting money for the payment of
the insertion of their name in directory of
some sort, and saying that they represent the
Manufacturers and Producers Association.
Please notice that we have no person collecting
money for any purpose for this association,
excepting our regular collectors collecting the
dues of the members, and such persons carry
written authority from us for that purpose.
AS yet we have no one soliciting advertise
ments, and we would thank our members to
notify US Immediately by telephone or wire
when they are SO approached, so that we can
take proper steps to protect them.
The secretary states that the persons
have been charging members OF the asso-
citation 81 for each name to be placed in an
alleged directory. He has learned that
several members have been duped by the
unlicensed use of the associations name,
and the belief is that the men are i'm
posters and have no directory except in
their minds.

SPORTS AT CATALINA.
A Fish Which Reeled Off Five Hun
dred Feet of Line in a Jiffy.


AVALON, Catalina Island, Aug. 3O-The
amount of fish being now daily taken at Cata-
lima Island. almost defies belief. Not before
this season has the sea given up its denizens so
abundantly. J. Neale Plumb, New ork multo-
millionaire, who is putting in three months at
Catalina this season, all of which time he de-
votes practically to fishing, heads the list with
the following astonishing record of catches in
single week, aggregating five days fishing:
Forty-eight yellow-tails weighing all the way
from ten to forty-two and half pounds !;
thirty-six rock bass, three barracuda and one
enormous funny, weighing slxty-one and
half pounds
cussion than any before this season. When
the monster was brought ashore speculation as
to his class was rife. Many old fishermen pro-
nounced 1t an albicore, but Mr.. Plumb, who is
an expert angler and has caught hundreds of
albicore from the deck of sailing vessels off
the coasts of Africa and South America, in
sisted that this fish differs in several respects
from the albicore, noticeably in the length OF
its fins. Neither could an albicore, he con-
tended, tow boat four miles out to sea, as this
one had done. When the fish struck, Mr..
Plumb and his faithful lieutenant, Mexican
Joe, were not over fifty yards outside of kelp-
bed, trolling about in pursuit of sesbass in
125 feet OF water, with heavy "pipe-sinker"
and fying-fh, weighing about pound for
bait.
At the very first dash the fish took out 500
feet of line. 1t was impossible TO check him,
ana naQ II not been Tor the presence OF MIND
and skill of Joe Mr.. Plumb declares be would
have lost his prize. The old Mexican fisher
man turned his boat like flash and backed
up toward the fish, relieving the tremendous
strain and allowing the intrepid angler to re-
gain some of his line, nearly all of which had
been reeled of. The fish kept right on out TO
sea with a steady pull, and Joe relinquished
the oars, the boat rushing along faster than ne
could row. When about mile out the fish
began making deep-sea plunges, which alter
mated with swift dashes out to sea, till finally
he retired $50 feet below the surface, where he
sulked some time and then permitted himself
to be slowly reeed to the surface. The game
fellow gave one fearful plunge as he reached
the surface and then ley passive at the mercy
of his captor, who promptly GATED him.
After lengthy discussion as to his class by
reference 10 the United States Commission of
Fish and Fisheries, volume and section l, plate
No. 95 A, an exact engraving of the fish was
found labeled "The Alalonga, or long filmed
fTunny'" This settled the dispute and the
mysterious fish was duly classified as funny.
+ b. Foss of Bakersfield, who has the reputa-
ton of having caught the largest number of
deep-sea groupers at Catalina for the two pre-
cedfng seasons, is here again for weeks con-
test with groupers He never fishes nearer
shore than six or eight miles and is an expert

which is to be competed for, is on exhibition
at Eckhardts gunstore in this city, and is at
