meeting, against the proposed hunters
license. The resolution said, In part:
ave believe such law would deter sports
men and tourists from visiting our noun
tain resorts during the open season for
the purpose of hunting and fishing; that
the game and fish of the State being pub
lie property, we believe in equality for all
and special privileges to none during such
seasons when the game and fish may be
taken; that, as we believe the general pub
lie derives benefit from the game and fish
In our public domain, therefore the Ieve-
nue. necessary to properly protect the fish
and game should be derived from the State
funds"
Senator Halls amendment to the game
laws, the intent of which is to permit
hunters to kill canvasback and bluebi
ducks at all months of the year, is about
the most nonsensical measure that has
ever been introduced in the Legislature,
and deserves to be snot to pieces.
Although the season may be heightened
a month, 1t would never do togive market
hunters an opportunity OF slaughtering
birds during the breeding season, which
they certainly would do if Halls amend
ment became a law. The hunters could
very easily strip the mallards and other
kinds of ducks which breed here of their
feathers and ship them to this City und er
the name of canvas back or bluebill.
Several amendments to the game bill
have passed the second reading in the
Senate. In brief, the alterations in the
present law are as follows: The season for
marketing all game is from October 10 to
February 15, instead of from November Is
to January Is; the season for shooting
mountain quail and grouse to open on
September in place of August 15: open
season on doves TO commence July 15 in
place of July 1. Halls amendment to the
open season for ducks excepts canvas back
and blue bill; in other words, these varie-
ties of ducks are not protected al all and
can be shot and marketed at any time.
The Fish and Game Commission are
opposed to Halls amendment, as are the
sportsmen of this City. Chief Deputy Bab-
cock says that such a law would render
the entire duck law inoperative.t The
hunters will kill all kinds of ducks at all
seasons, pick them and cut off their heads
and feet and sell them for canvasbacks
and bIuebills, and not one in a thousand
could tell the difference. Mallards would
be killed while nesting, and our supply of
home. bred duck reduced to nothing. This
may be amended before the third reading,
but if not, the sportsmen will endeavor to
kiIl,the whole bill.

Legatees.

The estate of the late Dr. Washington
NJ. Ryer, which has been in litigation for
several years, has been ordered settled
and distributed. The matter was disposed
of in Judge Slack court yesterday morn
ing.
DR.. Ryer's estate consisted principally
of Market-street property and at the time
of his death it was appraised at 81, ,250, 900.
He bequeathed the bulk of his estate To
his widow and children and left a large
sum to charitable institutions. The widow
married again and is now Mrs. Elizabeth
Joy. The estate has been involved in iitI
CATION ever since the testator's death. but
the trouble has nearly all been settled
and to-day Judge Slack approved the ac
count OF the executors.
There is still pending a litigation ha.
tween the estate and James D. Phelan ove-
some $1,000 worth of taxes, but this viii

For instance. he is said TO have required
mis- men to abstain from all Intoxicating
liquors while training; very severe rule,

wine, which takes the place of tea and

The Dolphins' New Boathouse Is
Finished.

The Dolphins' New Boathouse Is
Finished.
Despite the fact that it rained Sunday
morning the Dolphins built new walk 10
the bosthouse under the supervision oi
Ed Sullivan and Tommy Kennedy.
In the afternoon a crew, composed of T.
J. Kennedy, T. r. keenan,, T. J. Sullivan
and c. NJ. Farrell, under the watchful eye
of Adam Schuppert, rowed to Sausalito,
and on their return Captain Patch took
out the barge with r. J. BIennerhassett,
John Lynch, Alex Pape and Sam MURRAY
as lar as Fort Point wharf.
The Dolphins have never made a good
record with their crews, owing 10 the
rough water in tho vicinity OF their quar-
ters; but now that the new boatbouse is
finished, ana sleeping quarters have been
put in, Captain Patch feels confident that
the blue and white will be seen in from
more than once this year.
Adam Schuppert will assist Patch In
training and coaching the men. Schup-
pert is an old-time oarsman that rowed in
the early 'S0's, and has seven first prizes
to show for his skill, both in single and
fours.
The club will hold a try-out the second
Sunday in March, and James Laib will
then row his match race with Fred Woer-
ner.
Every Sunday Alexander Pape, T. j.
Kennedy, w. J. Schumacher, Charles
Roach and Gully Mosan can be seen
along the front In the skiffs.
T. r. keenan, and Will Patch are doing
little rowing in the single shell-just
enough to keep in practice for any regatta
that might take place at an early date.
keenan, beat Patch half a length in a
practice race before the last regatta.
Patch is not satisfied and the clnb is will
ing to put up a trophy for them 10 COM
pete fer.
A crew of new members of one-year
mem bership are to row the old-tImers al
the next ladies' day. The new mem bers
will be: John Lynch, stroke; Sam Muir

Won Hadeln, coxswain. Old -timers-Cul-
ly Mogan, stroke; Frank Stab, after

Adam Schuppert, bow; al Rothkopf,

The Dolphins are thinking of raising
the initiation fee to $50, as the embcr-
ship roll is filed.
