mems Association will meet at Alameda
Point, and on the 18th inst. the Lincoln
Club will shoot on its own grounds. The
California Wing Club will endeavor to
hold live-bird shoot at San Bruno after
having two postponements.
Reports from the interior stated that
doves are still nesting, and many sports
men have refrained from shooting at them
until next month. Judge Mckenna and
a friend returned few days ago dis
gusted, because they found nearly all old
birds which were then caring for their
young. After shooting some birds they
put up their guns with a resolution to re-
train from any further dove-shooting I'M
til the young birds are able to look out for
themselves. How many sportsmen can
there be found among the fraternity, who
go into the fields in quest of doves, who
will emulate the act of Judge McKenna?
Under the provisions of the general law
the dove season opened Oh July 1 "a month
too early) and will close on February Is.
Sportsmen should not forget that the SUI
pervisors have the power to shorten the
season, and this has been done in some OF
the counties. The deer season, under the
general law, has been changed by ordi-
nances in several counties of the State, as
will be seen by the following table OF
changes:

THE FIELD OF SPORT.
What the Oarsmen, Athletes and
Cyclists Are Doing.

The National Club is chagrined because
OF the refusal of the Supervisors TO grant
1t a license to conduct boxing entertain
ment at the Pavilion next month The
managers of the club state that it they
had the remotest idea of the intentions OF
the City Fathers they certainly would not
have incurred the expense they have al
ready gone to in communicating match
between Maher and Choynski. They Will
make another attempt to soften the hearts
of the good fathers.
The Olympic Club will endeavor to bring
about second meeting between Its ath-
letic team and team of athletes from the
Multnomah Athletic Club. A return
match between the athletes who coz
tested in the Northwest will certainly at
tract a great gathering at the Olympic
Club grounds.
The oarsmen of this City and Stockton
are having friendly discussion over row.
ing matters. The local scullers are deter
mined to have the next regatta held on
this bay, but the Stocktonians contend
that the sport would be q far greater sue
cess, financially and otherwise, if held
within easy reach of their city, and TINS
the matter stands at present.
Coursing enthusiasts are promised a
great days sport tomorrow at Ingieside
Park, where the fastest greyhounds in the
State will contest.
The anglers are now scattering all over
the country and favorable reports from
mountain streams and lakes arrive daily.
Inanimate target shooting is pastime
which has become very popular within the
past year; as will be seen by a reference
to the department that refers to the gun
there are quite number of club matches
slated for tomorrow.

races.

games IN 1894. His hollow victory in both the
distance events then and the consummate ease
with winch he romped away from his oppo-
nents caused many spectators of the games to
express the opinion that the Historian was a
ringer, and the Handicapped, who allowed
IaIlent sixty yards Ill the half and like dis
lance In the mile, fell in for generous meas
ure OF criticism. Talent was we'll known,
however, by many members of the Multnomah
C1uD, all OF whom vouched for the fact that he
was only novice.
His only defeat was at Tacoma last year
when John Sutton, probably the best middle
distance man that ever donned shoe in Cali
tornla. took him over the first 440 yards of the
half-mile race in 81 seconds and left him to
light II out" with two Tacomans one of
whom succeeded in beating Tallant out for
first place The former Berkeley man had en-
tered the race solely as "runner-up" for a
clubmate and the Astorian's condition was not
such as to enable him to successfully cope
with fresh men after negotiating q mile in
40. His later victories are still fresh in the
minds OF all coast athletes. r. GIBSON
1t can be safely said that the Olympic
Club OF this City will offer tempting in
ducements to the Muitnomsh Club to send
team of athletes to this City in Septem-
Der TO meet the cham pions of the Olympic
Club in series of outdoor games.

The National Athletic Club received q

1t was quick and spirited contest, which
lasted only one round. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that the managers of the club
expected to meet such an able opponent in

finishing touches. Although the club has
not yet fully recovered from the effects of
the blow, another effort will be made to
bring about return match, and it goes
without saying that it will be in better

the next time it faces the mighty muscles

The Occidental Club is on Easy street al

unfortunately, terminated unfavorably.
A permit will be granted to the Occidental

she reaches the rough waters of the bay.
The South End junior crew, which de-
feated the Stocktonian oarsmen, is GER
tainly deserving of great credit. After
passing a. sleepless night before the race,
owing to lack of accommodations on the

ATHLETIC.
How Talent, the Great Miller OF
the Northwest, Jumped Into
Fame


the Northwest, Jumped Into
Fame.
Captain Gill of the Olympic Club will
like many other members of the team
which recently invaded Portland, be bit
surprised to learn that Talent, the cham
pion long-distance runner of the North
west, is single man, % years of age, and
not 38 years, as enormously reported. The
following letter from Robert Gibson of
Astoria, Or, concerning Talent will be
read with much interest by local athletes.
Gibson was at one time prominent men,
Der of the Olympic Club, who had strong
prediction for outdoor athletics. The
letter reads:
Sporting Editor Call: Talents ascent of the
ladder of athletic fame has been rapid, and
the only reason why it was not accom- plished
at single bound was because he was not
called upon 70 show his full powers. The de-
yeiopment OF the muscles, which have carried
him to victory on the cinder path, was begun
on the football field four years ago, previous
TO which time he had shown no indications of
either speed or endurance. Since boyhood he
has been an ardent admirer of boxing, which,
with rowing and hunting, formed his chief
sources OF outdoor amusement and exercise for
number of years.
In 1891, when association football was intro
duced in Astoria by the football club, Talent
was quickly interested and seldom missed
practice game for two or three years. Being
an enthusiast and popular in 1892 he was
elected captain OF the team, and while never
a brilliant player displayed such remarkably
staying powers that he attracted the attention
OF older athletes, who predicted a brilliant
future for him. He made his first appearance
in running clothes on July 4, 1894, partici-
paung IN several events on a field day given
by the Astoria Football Club. He only sue
ceeded on that occasion in capturing second
place in 220-yard hurdle race. A few weeks
later he again competed il indoor games held

Mr. kuphal if he would kindly give him

to send the money away in the letter
Mr. Kuphal gave him the bill and the
young man put it in the letter and then
sealed it in an envelope while Mr.. Kuphal
counted the change.

He handed Mr.. Kuphal an envelope and
walked out of the store, saying that he
would be back in a few minutes Mr.
kuphal waited for an hour, and as tFe
young man did not return he opened the
letter to get the five dollar bill But
what he did not know before he was
