SAN JOSE SPORTING.
Lion Hunting a Great Sport-Santa
Clara College Football Team.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 30.-During the past
week several parties from this city have en-
joyed rare sport hunting mountain lions in the
vicinity of Moody's Gulch, about five miles
above Los Gatos. About ten days ago c. j.
Salsman and F. ]. Galley, while .encamped in
Moody's Gulch, ran across several Honesses
with kittens. On their return home they or
gained party and secured several fox hounds
and went back to enjoy lion hunting. During
the weeks stay they killed three lions and six
half-grown kittens.
The largest OF the lions weighed about 100
pounds and succeeded in killing one of the
hounds and seriously wounding a couple of
more before the hunters could dispatch it.
Mountain lions are quite numerous in that
vicinity, and those in the party pronounce the
sport most exciting.
Deer-hunting is attracting much attention
as the season draws to a close. During the
past week several fine bucks were killed on
the Magas and in the mountains back of Los
Gatos. In the latter vicinity some good shoot
ing can be had on moonlight nights in the
vineyards, where they come to feed on the
vine leaves.
Everything points to an abundance of quail
the coming season. Young birds were never
more numerous than this year.
But little fishing is done, although those
who have visited the trout streams during the
past week have secured good messes. A great
many of the local fishermen are at Capitola,
where trolling for salmon is at its height. Sew
eral poaehing parties have returned with good
San Jose Water Company and Weber Lakes.
One party returning from the latter place ex-
hibited dozen fine bass the smallest of which
was eight inches long. Fishing at both places
is prohibited, but the parties generally get
around after the watehmen are in bed.
The coming meet OF the Garden City Cyclers
on Admission day promises to be great sue
cess. The tandem race is attracting great
deal of attention, and 1t is thought that the

During the past week $4,000 Truckee trout

Fish Commissioners by Game Warden Macken-
zie and distributed in the various streams of
the county. During the summer 100, 900

A football team is soon to be organized by the
students of Santa Clara College. During the
coming week several trial games will be
played, when Messrs. Wilson and Gassen, the
