The old adage, let we'll enough alone, will

OF fox terriers business to run with

In his report of the Pacific Kennel
Clubs recent exhibition of dogs this is
what, Judge Mortimer says of Dr. Nc
Nuts highly priced deerhound: Derby
was the only entry; a really grand headed
dog OF great size, excellent legs and feet
good body and very muscular quarters,
but he is very slightly cowhooked and
does not move as well behind as he should

AS large numbers OF Monaghan
pheasants have been introduced into

opinion of prominent Eastern sportsman
will be of interest to Californians: Presi-
dent E. G. Gay of the Maine Game and
Protective Association says that II pure
blooded Monaghan pheasants can be OBJ
tanned they are a valuable acquisition to
the game of State, but that the crossbred
birds are ferocious and destructive to
other game birds. Mr.. Gay greatly pre-
fers the capercailzie and black game from
Norway and Sweden if new birds are to be
introduced into his State.

The Australians con tinue doing effective
work against their various English OPP
ponents. They gained a brilliant victory
over Yorkshire, at Sheffield, by an inning
and runs. Their contest with San
Eleven of the South" played at East
bourne, and mentioned in last weeks
"Chirps," resulted in draw.
The Middlesex and Yorkshire match.
played at Lords on the 28th ult., followed
its tradition of furnishing remarkable
cricket. Middlesex, after playing a first
inning of 1884 runs, was beaten by 10
wickets. About 10000 people were on the
ground.
Surrey gained very easy victory over
Worcestershire. Hayward of the conquer
ing team made l53, the only century of
the match.
On the same day, at Lords, Somersets
were beaten by Middlesexes by an inning
and 101 runs. About 1900 spectators
witnessed the match. Feeble batting and
very good bowling apparently accounted
for the triumph Of Middlesex.
In the Gloucestershire-S match,
played at Brighton, Champion W. g..
Grace not only carried his bat through the
Worcestershire inning, but despite the
big scores of the season, managed to make
the highest by his perfectly compiled 243
runs and to beat Abel's previous best
of 231.
The Surrey eleven secured their seventh
win of the season at Nottinghamshire by
six wickets and the match between Lam
cashire and Kent. played at Manchester,
resulted in win for Lancashire by three
wickets. Hampshire had to submit to de-
feat by Derbyshire by seven wickets.
At Oxford the university eleven gained
brilliant victory over Somerset, winning
by an inning and 107 runs.

Now that the National Athletic Clubs

the treacherous rocks upon which Captain
Groom had feared 1t would founder there
is rejoicing among the fistic fraternity who
favor free sailing.
Tom Sharkey is delighted that there will
be no further impediments placed in his
way of a meeting with Champion Jim.
"Why," said Tom, 1.-THE idea that this con-
test will be of a brutal nature is most
absurd. If any of the members of the
Civic Federation, or any other federation
for that matter, had ever seen me box they
would have changed their minds very
quickly-that is so far as brutal sport is
concerned.
"Any of the boys will tell you that have
never hurt anybody in my life, and why :?
Because l am scientific and understand
how to hit. l have whipped all of my OPP
ponents, but my work was clearly done,
and l think the sporting people of this
City should give me some credit for what l
have accomplished.

ing any particular anxiety over the COIu-
ing contest. | am scientific, and so is Jim
Corbett, therefore the sporting people can
count upon seeing clever and interesting
exhibition of fsticuffs at the Pavilion on
the evening of the oath inst.
"Why, the idea of Tom Sharkey being
called slogger is preposterous. The fact
of the matter is. half the fellows who pre-
tend to know all about the game don't
know good and clever boxer when they
see him perform. But they will change
their minds about Tom Sharkey after he
has settlement with Champion JIM
