PIGEON RACES.

There are now many owners of hon.
ing pigeons ,and the two largest tour
naments ever held west of Chicago have
been arranged for the coming month
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
first will be from Sacramento to this
city. The birds will be liberated near
the state capitol on January 10th. The
second and the larger one will take place
on January 30th. and the birds, upward
of 1000 in number, will be liberated from
San Jose.
The first race will take place during
the fourth annual exhibition of poultry
and the first annual exhibition of dogs to
be held under the auspices of the Cali
fornia State Poultry and Kennel club,
from January 9Th to January 18th in
elusive. The liberating of the birds Will
be made special event. Governor
Budd who has given a 500 cup to the
show, and all the members of the legis-
lature, as well as many prominent citi-
zens, will be invited to witness the start.
The birds will be set free on the plaza
between the state capitol and the state
agricultural pavilion. For this race
birds from this city, Oakland, Alameda.
Berkeley, Antioch, Vallejo, Melrose,
Livermore and other cities are entered,
and it is expected that between 500 and
800 pigeons will compete in the fly. En-
tries for this race must be made with ].
w. Sayers, the race secretary, at 632
Market street, room 49, this city, before
10 p. m. today 4
The race from San Jose will bring out
the greatest number Of homers ever seen
in race in the west. Some owners have
assured the managers Of the race that
they will enter thirty to forty BIRDS and
as there are so many new owners CT
pigeons in various places in Alameda
and adjacent bay counties there Will be
probably 1000 birds In the race.
Owners of birds who really intend to
make entries are requested not to wait
until the last day. as it will cause great
confusion and prevent good manage
ment Of the race. Persons who are 10
enter birds are requested to do so as soon
as possible, or at least notify the race
secretary or George II. Croley of AIT
Sacramento street.
1t is absolutely necessary in order to
bring the match off satisfactorily that
the managers learn of the approximate
number of entries so as to make the
proper arrangements for the transpor-
cation of the birds to San Jose and their
liberation there in manner that will be
satisfactory to all. A special car will
have TO be secured and large number
of men will have to be engaged to SET
the birds free.
Entries for this match will close posi-
lively at 10 p. m. Saturday, January
18th. This match will come off when
the poultry show of the Pacific Poultry
and Pigeon association is being held at
Oakland, which will be from January
c3d To ,January 31st

FOOTBALL.

The New York Sporting Life says:
Careful preparation Is essential 20
the playing of football, and only men
who are absolutely sound in limb should
be permitted to engage in SO vigorous
a game. Admonition of this kind Is not
needed in the east, where skilled super
vision is employed; but in the west and
south and among the schools, candidates
are not submitted to such close inspec-
ton, and once in while boy physically
untitled to the demands of the game Is
fatally hurt like the poor little chap in
Brooklyn last month. and then is raised
the hue and cry against football. An
other cause of injury is the practice held
in some sections of playing school boys
against teams of young men, or of school
teams playing a mature instructor or
coach. 1t is positively criminal to per-
NIT growing boys or IL to IA years TO
play against those Of IS or thereabouts.
1t is almost as reprehensible for the
principal of school to permit the play
ing of a professor or any mature men
under one guise or another"

THE KENNEL.

That we'll know ST. Bernard dog Mr..
j. q. Barkers Champion California Ber-
narGo. died on Sunday last after an IL
ness of several weeks. says the Pacific
Field. He was one of the best st. Ber-
nards ever shown on the coast, having
suffered defeat by but one dog. Grand
Master a dog which many considered
his inferior. He has also proven himself
a strong sire, several of his get are bound
to be placed very near the top when
shown. Bernardo was bred by Mr. Frank
IL. Allen of this city, and was by Duke of
Wellington out of Tomah. His record on
the bench is as follows: First and spe-
cial, Los Angeles. 1893: first and special,
San Francisco. 1893; first and special Los
Angeles, 1894; first and special, Oakland,
1894; first and special. challenge, San
Francisco, 1855; first and special. chal-
lenge, Los Angeles, 1896; first, challenge,
San Francisco, 1896. and second, chal-
lenge, Oakland, 1896. Thus it will be seen
that by his demise Mr.. Barker suffers
great loss and will receive the sympathy
of all true fanciers. AS we'll as being
grand bench show dog and a good sire,
Bernardo was a favorite companion of
his master which makes the loss much
more keenly felt than if it were but one
of dollars and cents.

rier club is the latest. and call to form
fox terrier club in Pittsburg was issued
for December Sth.
Under the head of "a California SWIM
die" the Breeder and Sportsman says:
Several California ST. Bernard fanciers
have been badly swindled by eastern
breeders during the past three years, but
about the worst case that has come un-
der our notice is that of O. H. Williams,
popular San Francisco fancier and well
known member of the St. Bernard club
of California.
Several months ago he purchased of
E. III. Moore OF Melrose Mass, the st.
Bernard pup Melrose Royal by Cham
pion Altoneer Maude (Ch. Melrose King
Victoria ID. He paid 1915 for the pup
when about four months old and Mr..
Moore guaranteed all sorts of things.
The pup arrived in due season, we'll
marked specimen, but rather small for
it's age and light Of bone. Mr.. Williams
saw that he was badly sold, but think
ing that good care might possibly make
dog that would repay him for portion
of his outlay. he fed 1t with the best the
market could provide, but all for naught
Melrose Royal, now about IA months
old, weighs about eighty or ninety
pounds and can be purchased for SIS or
even less.
Mr. Moore has been informed of the
state of affairs but has declined to even
answer Mr.. Williams letter. If this is
not case for Kennel club jurisdiction,
where do you find them?

THE GUN.


]. M. Crawley writes the Pacific Field
ais follows regarding the hunting
grounds in the vicinity of Los Angeles:
In reply to your letter of the 1st inst,
will says: The nearest available shoot
ing lands to Los Angeles, not controlled
by gun clubs, are as follows: Niger
slough. / mile distant from Dominguez
station, II miles from Los Angeles
grounds, miles from Santa Ana, 80
miles from Los Angeles; Hueneme, 8
miles from Montalvo, rs miles from Los
Angeles; Elizabeth lake, west of Palm
dale. SO miles from Los Angeles; Buena
Vista lakes, west Of Bakersfield, 1863 miles
from Los Angeles; Bear valley, one
days stage ride from San Bernardino, 62
miles from Los Angeles.
Nigser slough gives lake shooting with
natural tules. Santa Ana grounds are
marsh and tules; Huenerne. open marsh; ;
Bear valley, lake shooting, no tules;
Elizabeth lake and Buena Vista lakes,
am unable at this writing to describe
persons living in the immediate territory
will, no doubt furnish you with this in
formation.
All tracts of land in the immediate
vicinity of Los Angeles, with the excep-
ton of Niger slough, are held by gun
clubs. One of these clubs permits it's
members to each have as guest one
friend twice each month during the sea-
son. The other clubs are close corpor-
atoms, their membership full and a re-
spectable-S sized waiting list. Shooting so
far has been fairly good.
Charles Van Valkenberg, on his first
shoot of the season at Santa Ana, bagged
80 ducks. On his second shoot on the
same grounds (those of the Greenhead
club, accompanied by Mr.. Matfield, the
two bagged 109 ducks.

Umpire Decker did not see Guercio get
Lohman at first, and Krebs, who followed
him, hit for two bases and brought him
in Thomas flew out to Guercio, but
four runs had been scored and the game
won, as the Wilson's were only able to
score one man in their half The game
abounded in brilliant plays, but the most
noteworthy features were Whaling's long
hit and his batting all through the game,
as we'll as Wilson's and Van Horne's.
Van Horne also made the catch of the
day, long running catch in deep left
center field, off Whaling's bat, that
looked like home-run. The entire Will
son team fielded beautifully, having but
two errors charged to them. Knell did
not have as good control of the ball as
usual, but pitched good game never
theless. The boys are now putting up
as good ball as any clubs in the country
and deserve more liberal patronage.

cided contrast to the afternoon. How
ever, the tournament will be finished
today, and the result should be some
very good matches, although it looks
like foregone conclus.on that George
Whitney will win, as his brother de-
faulted early in the contest.
AS a whole, the tournament was a sue
cess from the players standpoint. The
matches were well contested and result
ed in many surprises, the most notable
of these being the defeat of A. c. Cheese
brough by McGavin.
Good weather permitting next week will
see a repetition of this one, for on New
Years comes the great double tourna-
ment for club championship. At pres
ent this event would appear to be hope
lessly in the hands of the Whitney
brothers. who are the holders of the
coast championship; but there Is some
talk of handicappirg this team, and it
is very likely that it will be done. About
fifteen would be the penalty imposed,
and with this impost the result should
be uncertain, as the club contains many
double teams of slightly lower class.

The Alerts were defeated by the Los
Angeles Browns at the Newton street
grounds yesterday afternoon by score
of IA to II.
Fred Starkey went in the box for the
Browns in the first inning but was una
Bile to locate home base and exchanged
places with Smylie at third. He, too, was
wild at the start, and the inning closed
with eight runs tailed by the Alerts
Then the Browns settled down and play
ed ball. A wild throw, muffed fly and
a couple of hits gave the Alerts three
more runs in the fifth, but their tally
never rose above zero afterwards
Meanwhile the Browns, by sharp bat
ting and clever base running, coupled
with numerous errors by their oppo-
nents, managed to pile up fourteen runs
in their behalf. Villas stick work and
Studders' fine play 1t short were the fea-
lures of the game. Lige Walker, the
third baseman of the Trilbys, played
short for the Alerts, but distinguished
himself chiefly for the errors he made.
Brown and Strangman did the battery
work for the Alerts and Smylie and Bar
ris for the Browns. The score by inn
