Shooting and Fishing.

Last November the Cordelia Shooting
Club brought an action in the Superior
Court to restrain hunters from shoot
ing on the Chamberlain tract in rhe
Suisun marsh, on the ground that in
jury was done to the privileges of the
members of the club.
The case was in court for some time
and occupied great attention not only
in Solano County, but throughout the
State, as many points of law were in
volved. The defendants claimed that the
club had no legal existence and had a
license only to allow forty members to
shoot over the grounds in question.
Judge Buckles rendered a lengthy de-
cision. He denied the restraining in
junction and gave judgment for the de-
PENDANTS He said that although the
license allowed forty members of the
club to shoot on the tract, it did not re-
strain others from shooting thereon.
A motion is now to be made for new
trial, and if it is denied the case will
be brought before the Supreme Court.

Field Sports" says: officer Hol-
brook of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals now denies that
he sent deputy to stop the bluerock
shooting at Oakland Park because the
said bluerocks were shipped in barrels
all the way from the East and not
given chance to stretch their wings
before being shot. He says that Sam
Hughes is mistaken about his knowl-
edge about bluerocks, and intimates
that he knows just as much about blue
rock coursing as Sam does, and that a
greyhound rarely catches one before
he gets into his hole.
