The record-union., 1895-04-08
champion Roderigo. out of eladstone's


Mr.. Crocker has picked up the gaunt-
let, so to speak. and the parties have de-
posted S100 forfeit. The contest will be
for $500 side. 1t will be run on Thanks
giving day. To make the thing all the
more interesting, it should be four-dog
stake, and Payne's Countess Noble and
j. Nj. Bassford's pointer Tommy Ticker
should be entered. 1t would then be a
contest between two of the best settlers
on the coast and the best two pointers.
Glen beigh won the pointer puppy
stake in England before coming to this
country, and Is undoubtedly grand
dog MIR. Bassford has shot over him,
and speaks of him in the highest terms.
All the same, Glenbeigh was not run at
the Salinas trials year ago because ina
private trial on the day before, between
him and Tommy Ticker, the latter did
SO much the better work that Glenbeighs
trainer took the first train for home and
took the dog with him.
Mr.. Bassford has never been heard to
say that Tommy is a better dog than
Glenbeigh, but he has shot over both,
and is thoroughly satisfied with Tommy.
AS to the Salinas incident of year ago,
it was claimed that Glen beigh was handi-
capped by stiff shoulder, which may
account for his shortcomings at that
time.
The Glen beigh RODS Chaff race will be
witness. The dogs will be worked for
four consecutive hours, so that it will be
largely a test OF endurance-too much SO,
in the opinion of many dog fanciers.
Bottom is good quality, but four hours
is longer than anyone works his dog
without taking rest. Brilliant work
Tor one or two hours at str ct tch is more
desirable than Indifferent work for four
hours.
The conditions of the race provide that
it shall be run under the rules now exist
ing OF the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club.
Each owner to select a judge. these two
judges to select third, or referee. The
place OF meeting to be selected by the
judges at some point north of the Tehach-
api Mountains.
MINOR NOTES,
1t is said that along the Sacramento
River parties are still shooting ducks.
Warden Helms says ne will arrest any
one found violating the law in this
county.
An effort will be made to stock one of
the reservoirs near Folsom with black
bass. Since the carp killed off the river
perch there is no fishing to be had in the
vicinity of Sacramento.
few days ago, at Jones' fish market at
Front and K streets, was seen a magnifi
cent specimen of the striped bass. 1t
William Eek hardt displays at his store,
523 X street, splendid assortment of
fishing tackle. The fishing season is
now open, and he is daily receiving the
latest and best of goods in the way Of
rods, lines. flies, and all the parapher-
MALTA of the up-to-date angler, not to
speak of the other varieties of sports
mems goods George H. Lammer, who
has managed the store during Mr.. Eek
hardt's absence in Spokane, understands
his business thoroughly, and local patrons
hope he will remain after Mr.. Eckhardts
return.
Snipe-shooting in this vicinity has not
been very good this season. Some fair
bags have been made up the river. on the
Golo side, and on the lowlands down the
river, but the meadows about here have
not borne good crops of the long bills.
Wild ducks still go in fiocks and evil
IDENTIFY have not begun their nest-hiding.
Most OF the birds have gone to their sum-
mer resorts up north, however. There
are still many wild geese left, but those
that are being shot now are killed chiefly
for their oil.
