One of the worst difficulties for young

unconscious nervousness. The question
has been frequently asked, How can finch

Practice with an empty gun. An old one
is the BEST as it is not necessary to spoil
good firearm by constant swapping.
Aim an empty revolver or rife at some
small object on the wall of your room or
on an adjoining building and pull the
trigger steadily until the hammer falls.
Your very first efforts will clearly prove
that you finch, but few efforts will over
come this fault Even after the hinching
habit is overcome, the practice is good for
it steadies the nerves and it is just as good
for the beginner as actual shooting. Fire a
thousand shots a week, so to speak, in
this way, and when on the range the shy

Latest Reports From the Truckee
and Eel Rivers-Sonoma
Creek Trout.
Although several lovers of the angle
have put away their rods for the season,
the best of sport is now at hand, but sue
cess is guaranteed only to those who have
profited by experience. In some of the
coast streams trout-fishing is now first
class, but as the water is very clear and
low the trout are wary, and as a conse-
quence the morning and evening fishing
are best.
Latest reports from the Big Sulphur
Creek, near Cloverdale, are favorable, and
good sport awaits the angler who under
stands the proper way of presenting q fly
or spoon to the denizens of the deep pools.
John Butler is in receipt of lett.r from
Mr.. Monroe of the Eel River which says
that first class steelhead fishing is now in
order, but that the cream of the fishing
may be expected during the latter part of
this month.
John Gallagher, the champion angler of
Oakland, will leave for the Eel in few
davs.
Excellent black-bass fishing is reported
from Duncans Mills. Mr.. Morgan writes
that Charley Green and party of friends
caught several bass in the Russian River
near Moscow Cottage recently that aver
aged in weight from two to five pounds.
Minnows and grasshoppers are the most
enticing bats for the lordly bass.

The sport of coursing that has taken
such firm hold in the Middle and West
ern States is gradually growing in favor
in California, and each succeeding meet
sees new faces on the field and increased
interest in the dogs.
Last Sundays running at Ocean View
and Ingleside brought out seventy-six
hounds, a showing for single and regu-
lar every-week meet that could hardly be
made by any city in the Union.
With increased interest and greater IA
cilities the sport can hardly fail to go to
the front and moreover remain there, for
it seems to be the rule that once a cours-
ing man always one, and even though no
longer owners veterans of the field turn
out Sunday after Sunday to see the de-
scendants of their old favorites run, and
tell OF the days when they saw Fullerton or
even the great master McGrath run.
