The Cold Snap Has Improved Duck
Shooting In the Marshes.

The Cold Snap Has Improved Duck
Shooting In the Marshes.
The sportsmen who left this City last
Saturday evening for their respective
hunting quarters in the marshes congrat-
ulatsd each other on the excellent pros
poets for bagging much game on the day
following.
The weather was what old hunters pro-
claimed as being real duck weather." but
for some reason best known to the web
footers of the swamp lands there were
few ducks in sight on the day that the
sportsmen expected to reap big harvest
of broad bills.
Why the birds vacated the swamps on
Sunday is explained by Billy Murdoch,
the famous duck caller of the Sonoma
marshes. Murdoch says that during his
torty years experience in ck-shooting
he cannot remember OF a season when the
birds remained in the marshes after the
first good rainstorm.
ut stands to reason" said Billy, the
mallard caller, "that all of the broad-biil
family OF quackers are fond OF greens, and
when the opportunity arrives .or mess
they don't hesitate in breaking away from
the marshes and paying their best re-
spects to the green fields, where they
return at early morn to the bay"
The sharp north wind of the past few
days will materially improve the sport OF
duck-shooting on the marshes. In fact,
hrst-class results were had by some hunt
ers who were out shooting on Thursday,
and according to the present outlook the
rubber-booters who will be in the marshes
tomorrow morning should return we'll
satisfied with their outing.
In the vicinities of Antioch and Rio
vista thousands of wild ducks, principally
widgeon, sprig and blackiacks, have been
seen during the week, and the market
hunters are repairing to those places where
the ducks find rest during the day. John
Lemmer OF this City bagged seventy-three
BIRDS near Antioch on Thursday, and he
reports that good shooting was had all
along the river. Two men who were
snipe-shooting near Rio Vista last
wednesday Dagged 1856 birds. and they
reported never having seen English snipe
SO plentiful. They discovered the long
pulls in field that was recently plowed.
1t is said that frst-class snipe-shooting
can be had near Suisun. In fact, the
piros have become very numerous every
wnere since the cold snap arrived.
IL is stated on good authority that the
keepers In the Suisun marshes scatter

1t Is Thought the Sharkey and Fitz-
simmons Fight May End Quickly.
1t would not be shooting far off the mark
by stating that no greater interest has
been taken in contests pugilistic since the
time that Corbett was matched to fight
Sullivan, than there is at present in the
coming match between Fitzsimmons and
Sharkey.
The sporting people of Australia, Eng
land and America are interested in the
outcome OF this great event, and as a con-
sequence every little notice that the papers
publish concerning the fighters and their
ways of training. ETC., is read.
Sharkey is comparatively new man in
the fistic business, but he has made such
rapid strides within a year that the
skeptics are puzzled and hesitate to give
an opinion. OF course it is the consensus of
opinion that Fitzsimmons will win be-
cause of his many victories at home and
abroad over men who were rated being
most formidable opponents.
Since Eitz developed from a middle

ability to take heavy punishment and
then return to the scratch like roaring
hon Tor more medicine. Corbett hit the
muscular mariner several blows that
would put to sleep most fighters of the
present day, and dou btless the result dis
heartened the King of the heavy-weights.
Now the question asked is: Can FItz-
simmons hit the sailor hard enough to
stop his rushes? The general opinion is
that the elongated Cornishman can do it.
but unless the trick is accomplished inside
OF four ROUNDS Sharkey will prove TO be
the winner of the fight.
The retired blacksmith is, however, very
confident OF capturing the $4,000 prize
pot, and he has stated to friends that he

expect that he will charge like Texas

sounds the attack. l understand that he
will hold his left arm in such a manner as
to protect his chin and the right Will be
used as weapon for administering
punishment.

lhen you Will see how he will hold his

Sharkey that he was never born to become
a champion pugillst.''
Sharkey will doubtless feel amused at
this. Tom is as confident of whipping
Fitzsimmon as he is of entering the ring
on next Wednesday evening. He expects
to stop some heavy blows, but if con-
hdence will win him victory the Cornish
man will not come up for the second round
at the call of time.
The National Club, under whose aus
pices the fight will take place, is certainly
deserving OF commendaiion for its untiring
and faithful efforts in bringing before the
sporting people OF this City the foremost
fighters of the land in limited round con-
tests. In fact there is not club west of
the Rocky Mountains that would dream
of offering purse of $40. 600 for a contest
between any two men, it matters not
what their regulations as pugilists may be-

Now that the great football game and
boating contests of the year are features of
the past the patrons OF sport will turn
their attention to other lines of amuse-
ment.
The wheelmen have several races in con-
temptation. which, doubtless. will be well
attended.
Sportsmen who have a fascination for
duck and quail shooting are enjoying
splendid sport, and the anglers who look
forward to many pleasant days in the
country will soon have an opportunity OF
testing their rods and lines on the game

Fanciers of the greyhound are now in
the height of their glory, as this is tie
season of the year when hares run best.

at present is boxing. On Monday evening
