RaY Fishing.

THE CALLS Sausalito correspondent
sends the following report OF catches
made during the past week:
Bay fishing has been good during the past
week, although the tides have not been favor
able. We have now passed the last heavy
spring tides for the season, and the best salt
water fishing in the bay is to commence and
will continue until the heavy rains fall. The
summer winds are about to cease, while the
water being at its greatest degree of saltness,
the larger fish which frequent the ocean
shores are coming into the bay in pursuit OF
smelt, sardines and other small fish, their nat
ural food.
On Monday last Thomas Brennan, the we'll
known angler, with two companions, caught
eighty-tnree pounds of red and blue rockfish
ct Point Cavallo. the largest a blue rocEcod
weighing 315 pounds.
On Tuesday Joseph Hawkins and friend
caught large string of red Tockcod and one
eleven-pound green Goldfish at Lime Point fog
whistle.
smelt have been more plentiful during the
week and some good catches have been made
near Sausalito, but the largest have been
caught at Target Rock near Belvedere. On
Sunday last Al Thomson and friend caught
lis OF these fish IN q few hours.

Abandonment OF the California
Australian Match.

AbandOnme ent or the California
Australian Match.
In spite of the unIiring efforts of spe-
cially appointed committee the contem-
plated match with the Australian eleven
will not come off. This regrettable result
is due to the large number of Eastern fix
lures made by the visitors, which limited
the one or two dates still at their disposal
to midweek days. Anything but a Satur-
day and Sunday match in San Francisco
would, even if the necessary team could
be got together, be sure financial failure,
so the project was abandoned judiciously.
There was great excitement shown by
the Portland people in the All-Oregon VS..
The Next Eighteen match, played at the
Multnomah grounds last Saturday. The
All-Oregon team was made up OF candi-
dates for the representative State team
that will go 10 Vancouver for the forth
coming carnival. 1t was cap.ained by

close as possible. being won by the eleven

PREPARING TO RESIST,
The Board of Health Will
Have Legal Trouble Over
Chinatown.
Tenants and Property Owners Are
Already Consulting Their
Attorneys.

The indications are that the Board of
Health will have a healthy job on its
hands before it succeeds In ousting the
tenants of the Chinese dens that were re-
rently condemned as unfit for human hab-
itation.
The ten days that were given those who
live in the novels that were first placed
under the ban have elapsed. but the board
has taken no steps to enforce its orders,
probably because rumors have reached the
members that at the first move toward an
eviction injunctions will be taken out to
prevent such procedure.
The first direct intimation that legal re-
sistance was intended came yesterday.
when a communication was received at
the Health Office from M. Schuppert, who
owns the building at 832 JACKSON street,
protesting against the condemnation OF
his property.
The document from its form and legal
phraseology was evidently made up by an
attorney and appears to be intended as a
foundation for court proceedings IN case
the building is torn down. The Chinese
tenants as we'll as the owners of the prop
erty they occupy, are getting nervous over
the condemnations and are preparing for
legal battle.
1uose WDO lIVe III the louSlHB-nOuseS p
parently do not care about the edict of the
board, but number of merchants whose
places of business have been condemned
are worried and have already consulted
attorneys. A number of them called on
Attorney John Sullivan yesterday and
asked him to interpose should the attem pt
be made TO drive them from the reekin G
structures they row occupy.
Health Inspector Kinne will soon have
new lot of buildings to recon mend for
condemnation.

LAWN TENNIS.
Annual Doubles and Ladies' Singles
Championship Tournament to
Be Held September 8.

Be Held September 8.
The long-expected boom IN tennis now
seems to have somewhat materi allied in
the shape of the annual doubles and
ladies' singles championship tournament,
which will be held at the Hotel del Monte
this year under the most auspicious cir
cumstances. This will be a marked
departure from previous tournaments, as
heretofore they have all without exception
been held at San Rata ell since the years of
1888 and 1883, when Del Monte was the
favored spot.
Old-time devotees of the game viii
readily recall the tournament of the latter
year. when w. H. Taylor so easily proved
his superiority at the time, and also the
winning of the first annual double cham
pionship by Messrs. Tobin and McGavin.
Unusual enthusiasm is being shown in
preparation for this event. and the courts
of the California CLUB are crowded daily
by players in faithful training.
Whitney and Whitney are the faYorites
at present by slight victory over Hardy
and Driscoll last week, but the ultimate
result is most uncertain, as so many teams
of new players have come to the front so
rapidly, among these being Weihe and
Suydam, and Eckart and Upham and Al
lison and Allen, all of the California Club:
DIR. Decker and DR.. Rothganger of the
United States navy.
From Oakland comes the news of
some very strong teams, Hardy and Dris-
coll and w. and T. Magee being closely
matched. Handsome and Kinzie, the
former player being also prominent in

When I was on the Zulu frontier (said
a traveller recently I stopped for a
week with a native. splendid fellow,
who had a fine farm. Among other
animals, he had young bull called
Hul0, which he and his children fondly
believed could vanquish any beast on
earth. Hulo was great pet, and not
in the least vicious, so I was surprised
on the second evening of my stay, to
see Hulo smiling the air and paving
the ground in evident rage. 1 was
about to ask what it meant when out
OF the forest came an ugly rhinoceros.
My host and 1 Hurried for our guns.
and Hulo dashed at the beast with
dauntless courage. A rush, a crash,
and the bull was hurled twenty feet.
Fortunately, the horn of his enemy had
not caught him, and the first rush had
taught him a lesson. His horns were
like sharp swords, but the hide of a
rhinoceros is remarkably thick, and the
young bull soon showed signs of ia
tigue. So he resorted to strategy, and
lodged behind his clumsy foe, giving
him vicious stabs in the thighs. This
was rapidly weakening the rhinoceros,
and just at this time We found some
steel bullets Qeaden bullets having no
effect on this animaD, and quickly
completed the work Hulo had begun.
Then the bull stood on the carcass and
beloved his joy.

Nobility Shown by Buttons.

Buttons play an important part in
the dress Of the Chinese mandarina
Those Of the first and second class
wear a button Of coral red, suggested,
perhaps, by a cocks comb, since the
cock is the bird that adorns their
breast. The third class are gorgeous
with robe on which peacock is en-
blazoned, while from the centre of the
red fringe Of silk upon the hat rises a
sapphire button. The purple button
Of the fourth class is an opaque, dark
purple stone, and the bird depicted on
the robe is the pelican. A silver pleas
ant on the robe and a clear crystal
button on the hat are the rank Of the
nth class. The sixth class are entitled
to wear an embroidered stork and a
jadestone button; the seventh a par
fridge and an embossed gold button.
In the eighth the partridge is reduced
to a quail and the gold button becomes
plain, while the ninth class mandarin
has to be content with a common SPAR
row for his emblem, and with silver for
his button.

He Resigned.

In the early days of Pony, a mining
camp in Montana, the poet-ofiice con-
sisted of an old tea box, into which all
the letters were dumped, the citizens
helping themselves. There were only
forty citizens in Pony, and, there being
no money in the Office, it was with con-
siderable difficulty that the storekeeper
was persuaded to accept the postmas-
tership.
One day stranger rode into camp
and called on the postmaster.
Don't You know" he began, sternly,
that it is illegal to allow people to pick
out their own letters like that?"
WAL, stranger" said the postmas-
ter, Il don't know that it is any of your
business how this Office Is rum
But am United States post-office
inspector"
In this case" said the postmaster.
I'VE will finish up this post-ofice right
now"
He took the tea box, placed it in the
middle of the road, and, with a good
run. kicked it clear across the gulch.
Nov then" he resumed, you 70
right back to Washington and tell the
department from me that the accounts
are closed and the postmaster at Pony
has resigned"
