The departure on yesterdays Australian
steamer of Billy Robertson, whose praises
as cricketer 1 duly sounded last week,
bids lovers of the game pause. During
the past three seasons we have lost some
OF the best and certainly the most en-
thusiastic among players-such men, for
instance. as the late Fred Arson of the
California Club, Griffiths and Sewers OF
the Pacifics, Bowhill of the Bohemlars S
and others. Meanwhile the new blood IN
fused into the arteries of the three sur
viving clubs seems to lack quality, and
the standard of play is materially lowered
in consequences. l am told that there is
plenty of talent in town, but that no pains
are being taken by the officers of clubs to
secure il. If this is g lact the end OF
cricket in San Francisco is within meas
urable distance.
The Phlladelphians played the formid-
able Notts eleven on the three days end

GUN AND GAME.
Paul Delmas Was One Of the Sue
cessful Hunters Who BagEed
Largo Gama

Although the season for dove-shooting
opened on the 18th inst, local sportsmen
have not scored any remarkable success.
Some good bags were returned from some
parts of the San Joaquin Valley, but the
birds arrived in poor condition owing, of
course, to the excessive heat in the valley.
The hunters for deer report having seen
numbers of does and fawns. but the
wearers OF forked and spiked horns, evil

ing near, skipped" for parts unknown to
the metropolitan hunter.
Some we'll conditioned bucks" were
brought to bay by some of the more for
tunate sportsmen who were not subject to
attacks OF Buck" fever-a complaint, by
by the way, that invariably attacks the
tyro on his first outing for large game.
Frank Com and Paul Deimas re-
turned from a very successful chase in the
Tamalpais preserve last Sunday evening.
Mr.. Delmas is an excellent shot and sur
prised his companions by bringing to grass
a,grand buck that was on the run when a
bullet from Mr.. Delmas' rifle cut short his
existence on this green earth. OF course
the sportsmen, with pardonable pride, eX-
hibited their game to many friends before
its horns were rem owed.
Shooting and Fishing, sportsman's
journal published IN Boston, makes the
following comment on the much talk ked-o of
Grass Valley dove stew. 1t says:
The Grass Valley Sportsmen's Club of Grass
Valley, Cal, will hold its annual dove stew
July "a near Indian Springs Dove-shooting
will occupy the attention OF members day or
two in advance of the annual affair. Last
year 1900 doves were used in the ann ual
stew, and members promise greater number
for the coming feast
Doves are plentiful in California at the
present time, but if such practices are fol
lowed the result may be like that of the pass
ing of the wild pigeon.
From the Southern States that touch the
Atlantic many complaints were heard not
long ago regarding the wholesale killing of
OF this sort oil thing last season. Taken alto
gether, halt should be called. Although
doves increase rapidly, the supply is not IN
exhaustibe.
The regular monthly free -for-all shoot
of the Reliance Gun Club of Oakland will
take place tomorrow at its grounds in
Alameda commencing at 10 o'clock
What gives every promise OF being the
most successful and interesting blue-rock
shooting tournament of the season will
be held on August l at the Empire Gun
Club grounds, in Alameda, under the
auspices OF the Empire Club. The pro-
gramme is very lengthy and includes a
club shoot and several interesting races
open to all, for merchandise prizes. There
will also be consolation race and class
shooting.

The wheelmen who have not started for
Klondyke on bike will enjoy some home
pleasures tomorrow, as there will be road
racing at San Leandro, runs to the park,
to San Mateo and Six mile House.
The sportsman who take pleasure in
sending an ounce or 60 of lead into the
anatomy of well-fed buck at 200 yards
range are still in quest of big game, but
so far this season there have not been
many deer killed. In Lake and Mendoclno
counties deer-shooting is said to be excel
lent.
Angling is first class in the mountains.
Baseball, cricket. rife-shooting, rowing,
yachting and coursing are pastimes that
are now affording much sport to the lovers
of exhilarating exercise.

OF evidence in proof that the sellers OF
game killed out of season should be pun
ished, and thereby an example set that
may be convincing and conclusive 10
that the game law much be re pected.
1t appears. though. that the game
dealers laugh at the law, as nine out OF
every ten cases that are brought into court
are dismissed on some trivial technlcality
by Judges VINO seem to think that the
arrest of person having game in his Dos
session during the closed season is simpl y
an absurdity and waste OF the courts
valuable time.
Sportsmen who are interested in the
protection of game and fish should use
their best efforts to assist the Game
Warden by interesting some prominent
attorney Ia sportsman) to take up the
fight for game protection, and thereby aid
the Game Warden in his endeavor to Sc
cure convictions.

Tho Late Mr.. Quig1ey Had Two Name
and Some Property.

The Late Mr.. Quigley Had Two Names
and some Property.
Judge Hebbard had before him yester-
day the litigation that has grown out of
an attempt to settle the business of the
estate of Louis Denis Quigley as he is
called by his widow, though his father
and brother assert that his true name
was Dennis Luke Quigley.
A serious dispute has arisen in regard
to the ownership of the carpet beating
bu siness at 1850 Market street, which the
widow says belongs wholly TO her late
husband and she accuses he father and
brother of the decedent with having con-
cealed and distracted the property and
paoers of the deceased. She even charges
that they have made away with her late
husbands will
John T. Quiglev, a brother of the de-
ceased, was called to the witness-stand
and declared that he had not concealed
any of the papers or property of his late
brother, and did not know anything about
his will if he left one. He also said that
he and hi. brother were partners in the
business, and that he as surviving partner
had a right to the possession of all the
books and papers beioncing 20 the firm,
but that Mrs. Anna Nj. Quigley had taken
these records into her own hands and
refused to deliver them to him, though
often requested to do go.
Attorney ]. B. Carson appealed to the
court for a speedy trial of the case as he
said that the business is going to rack
and ruin because there is no head to it.
Attorney Walter E. Dorm responded
that If the attorney on the other side is
right, the brother of the decedent has no
right there anyhow, yet he is willing to
expedite the proceedings as much a.
possible.
Harrison Jones was appointed COM
missioner to teke testimony, and return
the same to the court.

THE ANGLER.
Judge Carroll and His Famous Ride
Over the Mountains to Trout
Lake,


Anglers who are rusticating in the
mountains are enjoying good sport. Mr..
Finch and Judge Carroll report having
had good catches in some of the rivers
and lakes, but the general opinion is that
the cream of the sport will be skinned by
those who have postponed their outing
until August or September, as the stream
fishing, owing to the high water of the
present, Will not be ripe until September.
The following letter to the sporting edi-
tor from Judge John A. Carroll is self-ex-
planatory, and wall be found interesting:
LAKE TAHOE, CAL, July II, 1897.
NJ j. Geary, Sporting Editor Of The CAL: For

the entire lake on the beautiful steamer
Tahoe, and have reached the conclusion that
for comfort and sport McKinneys surpasses by
far any point on the lake. The table here is
excellent, and IL seems as If Murphy Bros, the
proprietors, could not do nough III order to
please their guests. They even go so far TO
furnish free boats and fishing tackle, prece-
dent unknown on the other points of the
lake.
Not having visited Tahoe before, was some

and fly OF spoon the same as had done at
lakes Independence and Webber. But that
sort of fishing is out of question here. The

feet in length, to which is attached large
spoon, and to tnat piece of gut with large

COURSING.
Some Dogs That Have Show fol
Prize Money To-Mor-

To-morrow's coursing at Ingleside bids
fair to develop some considerable new
talent. The programme includes puppy
stake and stake for saplings. In the
former there are several candidates who
will make their first tappearance, and in the
latter no less than eight dogs will be rep
resented. The candidates seeming most
likely to raise the flag in the rundown Of
the puppy stake are: Midlight, Maud S,
Tipperary Lass, Occi4enta, Rosette,
Rockland, Breer, Gallant Foe, Nellie 3,
Silent Partner, Cavalier and Diver. In
the sapling stake similar visitation of
fortune should fall to the lot of Jasper,
Jessie Moore. Miss Dividend, Miramonte
and Capasoni. The nominations already
made for the California Club meeting at
Merced this fall indicate brilliancy in a
high degree of success. Entries will close
one week from tomorrow, and that the
sixty-four dogs desired will be forthcom-
ing is now assured.
