Arrival Of Fat Jack McAuliffe.
Groom Is Still Hoping to Match
Sharkey and Fitz.
Jack McAuliffe, the lightweight cham
pion pugillst, arrived yesterday on the
steamer Acapulco from New York. His
friends were at the wharf to welcome him,
but when Jack stepped off the plank there
was only one man in the crowd who recog-
nized him, and had it not been for tip
that he received from one of the passen-
gers the pugilist would have positively
escaped unnoticed.
Why McAuliffe's friends failed to pick
him out from among the passengers is
readily explained. Jack does not look
bit like his former self. He has grown as
fat as mush melon, and how he can pos
sibly train off thirty or forty pounds of
tallow in a month is conundTum which
even the great master of ceremonies, Will
liam Jordan, ESQ.,, would not attempt to
solve.
But McAuliffe is here nevertheless and
reports having had very pleasant sea
voyage from New York to Frisco. Jack
says he thumped several punching g. bags
to pieces while on board ship and that he
assisted the firemen more than once to
pile coal into the furnace. Whatever kind
of manual labor McAuliffe performed
on board the Acapulco his appearance
would indicate that for every pound of
flesh he lost he gained two. But Jack is
as confident, nevertheless, of whipping
Carroll as he is of returning to New York
after the battle is over. He says that he
will not find it much OF trick to drop off
twenty pounds or so of avoirdupois in a
month when on dry land, and that for a
ten-round contest he will not need to be in
racehorse shape.
Jimmy Carroll has different ideas regard.
ing the condition a man must necessarily
be in to go through ten rounds of heavy
smashing. and he has trained with view
OF whipping General Jack in short order.
But time will tell whether old age and fine
condition can turn the tables on youth
and poor condition.
Manager Groom has not yet given up
hope of matching Sharkey and Fitzsim-
mons, although the latter does not seem
to be particularly anxious to get into
ring with the sailor.
Corbett is out of the race. Groom says
if Fitzsimmons will refuse to give him
decisive answer within week that he will
offer very fattering inducements to Peter
Maher to meet Sharkey in this City.

DUCK AND QUAIL.

Sportsmen Who Met With Indif-
ferent Success.
Duck and quail hunters are anxiouslv
waiting for the first good rainstorm, which
will very materially improve both marsh
and upland shooting. Quail have been
found quite plentiful in many places not
far distant from this City, but sportsmen
who have tramped the slippery hills in
the hope of securing good shooting report
that they found the birds very wild and
hid away in places where the underground
was too heavy to be penetrated by dog or
man.
Quail will remain close TO heavy cover
until the earth will be the recipient of a
good drenching, after which time the
lovers of quail-shooting may look pleas
antly forward to irst-cIass sport, pro-
vided, of course, that they will be acco M
panied by one or Two we'll broken dogs
Quail-shooting is indeed rough and
vexing pastime when the sportsmen has
TO act dog himself. Still, a pointer or set
ter that is not thoroughly trained is un-
questionably an intolerable nuisance in
the field.
Latest reports from Suisun are to the
effect that the northern fight of wild
ducks has arrived and that tolerably good
sport is now enjoyed by those who shoot
over decoys. Two hunters who are rusti-
eating In McRae and Merkle's ark bagged
fifty seven large ducks last Tuesday, and
it is said that three hunters from Suisun
made quite large killing of teal and NAL
lard on Wednesday evening. Birds are
very plentiful in the Suisun marshes, but
the cream of the shooting is yet 10 come
The first storm will open up great
day s shooting in The Suisun. Sonoma and
Alameda marshes. Billy Williams bagged
between three and four dozen birds near
Midshipmans Slough. in the Sonoma
marshes, last Thursday, and a man
