Of rules and regulations were framed

pass a severe physical examination, in

unique, and one of the "shall nots" has
necessitated a revision of the member

matrimonial intentions among the
crew.
The San Diego Rowing club, one of
the leading organizations of the coast,
rendered the Zlacs the use of a siX-oar
single-scull barge, in which they be-
came very proficient, racing against
time on Ladies' day, July 5, 1894, and
breaking all previous coast records, On
that day the Zlacs also distinguished
themselves by saving four of the crew
of the yawl Teaser, which capsized dur
ing the regetta. The club records show
that since then more than 20 persons
have been rescued from drowning by
the Zlacs, and it is a notable fact that
there never has been the slightest ac-
cident to mar the other side of the
ledger. The Zlacs after time decided
to build their own barge The splendid

TWO REGULAR LINES OF JAPAN

First Class Vessels and Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.--The
steamer Peru arrived from Oriental
ports last night and brought news of
the organization by wealthy Japanese
merchants and shipowners of new
steamship company that proposes to
operate two regular lines of transpa-
citic steamers, carrying both freight
and passengers. The organizers Of
the company are Messrs. Ito, ID. Inoye,
S. Machida and NJ. Miyata. They
started with a subscribed capital stock
of 100000 yen. While the Peru was in
Yokohama the company presented a
petition to the japanese Government
asking for charter. The vessels that
the new company proposes to operate
will be run in direct opposition to the
established lines of American and Eng
fish steamers. One line will run direct
between Honglong and San Francisco
and the other between Yokohama and
San Francisco, calling at Honolulu and
Vancouver on alternate trips.
The promoters of the company give
assurances that only first class vessels
will be used in the service, and that
they will be equal in passenger ac-
commodations and carrying capacity
to the vessels now in the transpacific
trade. They expect to have the boats
in operation before the end of the new
year.

HARPoONlNG TARPoN.
4 Royal Sport That Appeals to Both
Hunters and Fishers.

Hunters and Fishers.
A writer for Outing tells about the
sport Of striking tarpon.
"For this, he says, Zone uses
barbed iron called grains or a short,
light harpoon known as a lily iron,
either Of which is temporarily attached
to a light pine pole, the striking pole,
and is cast as a spear might be.
1.-THE grains is a double pronged
wrought iron instrument, the prongs usu-
ally not more than or inches in
length, and from three-sixteenths to
three-eighths Of an inch thick. Strong
barbs are sprung an inch from the deli
cately sharp, hardened points, having a
spread of three-eighths Of an inch and
about u inches space between the two.
The prongs are cut so that the points,
while extending inward, are raised from
opposing sides This gives the greatest
holding power. The grains has also a
tapered socket for the striking pole. The
lily iron is far heavier instrument,
and, unlike the grains, is capable Of
killing at blow. The upper sides Of
the barbs are left broad and fiat, ena-
bling them to Withstand a strain of sew
eral hundred pounds. A heavier and
sharper weapon is used to strike sword
fish or porpoises, as the former are
dangerous creatures, unless hit mortally.
Then there are necessary 300 or 400 feet
of soft striking line, three-sixteenths
of an inch in diameter, and one Of the
ordinary fishing boats Of the Florida
coast and a guide.
"On approaching the tarpon run the
sails and mast are slowed and the guide
uses a pole in the shallow water and
SOULS in the channel. A fish being seen,
the striker indicates its direction, and
standing in the bow with widely spread
legs, leaning well back, with poised
spear, the man waits till he is within 30
feet, unless he is unusually powerful,
then hurls tho weapon, which shoots
with hiss into the water.
1.-THE fish is anywhere from two to
three feet beneath the surface of the wa
ter, changing its position constantly,
and, because of the refraction, seeming
ly anywhere but where it really is. A
successful throw buries the points in the
flesh, and the pole comes loose and floats
to the surface, to be picked up when the
tarpon makes its first rush. 1t is best to
let the tarpon go without trying to stop
it on the first rush, as the barbs may
fall out. When the rush is over, the
boat is run toward the fish. Then out of
the water it goes, not with the grace
and head shaking Of hooked tarpon,
but with rush and surge. Then it tows
the boat, if the fish is 100 or 100
FOUNDER, at a rapid rate. Sometimes the
fish sulks and leaps, darting at the boat
to sorape the grains out of its flesh. 1t
takes about half as long to kill tarpon
with spear as with hook, but it is a
fiercer fight while it lasts. I"

A misprint may be responsible for
a good deal of misunderstanding. The
statement that the new governor of
Kansas is one of the sect called Dunk
ards got into the English papers in
the shape of the assertion that he was
a drunkard; and one editor thereupon
solemnly remarked that the election
ola drunkard to the highest office in
prohibition State was disgraceful
and that it indicated "a low standard
of public opiuion Thus Kansas
has to suffer not only for what she
does, but alas for what she does not
do.
