FISHING IN THE FEATHER.
Hon. T. J. Sherwood, editor of the
Marysville Democrat" says in his
| paper of recent date:
I'm San Francisco there are fully five
hundred men who each season go to the
interior once or more times, some of
them making visits two or three times a
month. Many Of them go to points much
further away than Marysville, and do
not get as good sport as they can find
within few miles of this city. Only
short time ago while in conversation
with a couple of wealthy gentlemen in
| San Francisco we We're Informed that II
Marysville could offer inducements to
those who love the sport of fishing and
hunting We can have plenty Of visitors,
as the trip can be easily made in five
hours from that city. When Informed

vile and Oroville in the best stocked

KENNEL NOTES.
| A. c. WaddeH has arrived safely from
California at Waverly, Miss, with his
dogs for George Crocker's Del Monte
kennels.
The spaniel breeders in this State
have organized club. The unequaled
success of the st. Bernard Club and the
great good done by the Pacific Fox Ter
rier Club has finally opened their eyes
| to the fact that in unity there is
1 strength. The charter roll will consist
OF not less than thirty spaniel fanciers

We observe, says the American
Field" that in California the field trial
winners are dogs of the proper type
and able to win in the show ring. It
Is the same in England. where the Irish
setter dog Punchstown recently crowned
his show winnings with the two field
trial wins, and the pointer bitch Dolly
of Budhill, which achieved leading hon.

pionship stakes. Why cannot it be the
same, then, between the Rocky Noun
