CALIFORNIA; CHAMPION.
Crittenden Robinson's Remarka-
BILE Success in Europe.

The San Francisco ''Chronicle,"' in
mentioning the return of Crittenden
Robinson, the famous California wing
shot, says:
Crittenden Robinson, the California
pigeon shot, is at home again after an
extended shooting campaign in Europe.
A few weeks ago Robinson was a par
tlclpant in the great international shoot
still in progress at London. His local
friends expected him to remain in Eng
land all summer and were more than
surprised yesterday to learn that he
had returned
Robinson arrived in the city two days
ago. The first friend to greet him was
his famous black pointer, Rex, and 1t
would be difficult to tell whether the
greatest pleasure of the meeting rested
with master or dog.
The success of Robinson in Europe
was little short of phenomenal. He
participated in the big events at Monte
Carlo, in the German provinces, at
Paris and finally in England. His work
with the gun gave him immediate rank
with the best shots in Europe The
quality of the California expert was
open competition. His winnings were
large and included a number of hand
some cups and trophies.
Despite his triumphs in many places,
Robinson makes very plain the fact
that he is glad to be at home. He has
had much to ask about the work of the
local clubs during his absence. He is
veteran member of the California
Wing Club, and is expected to shoot
with his fellow members at Ingleside

When it is noted, in passing, that
there is not a single instance of cor
rectness in the foregoing compilation,
some idea of the accuracy of this di-
rectory may be formed. There are
not six Supervisor Districts, but five;
Mr.. Boyd is not Supervisor, but
County Surveyor; there are three Su-
perior Judges instead Of two, and
Judge Johnson is not an Assemblyman.
B. F. Howard, the Superintendent of
Schools, is not Coroner, but George III.
Clark, listed as Surveyor, is; t. Fl.
Berkey, the Assessor, is not District
Attorney, but F. D. Ryan, listed as
Treasurer, is; E. Lyon is not Public
Administrator and never was, more than
that, he is dead, and the County Treas
urer is A, S. Greenlaw, whose name
does not appear at all.
W. B. Miller, deceased, was not Su-
perintendent of Schools, but Public Ad-
ministrator. F. T. Johnson, Sacrament
to's Sheriff, is not County Clerk, nor
is Auditor Cohn the Assessor, nor As
semblyman Landsboreugh Sheriff and
Tax Collector. In fact, such blunder-
ing and objectionable stumbling where
every fact was so easy of ascer' ain
ment, it is impossible to condone or
pass over lightly.
There is an approach toward correct
ness in the official list of the city de-
partments, but if fame is ito have

ance, likewise Collector Robertson.

The Hawaiian Star laughs at the
idea that Hawaii is menace to sugar
production in the United States. OF
all kinds, it points out we produced in
1896 2S9, 900 tons of sugar; Hawaii in
the same time produced 221 900 tons.
But in the same year the United States
imported from other countries l,500,-
600 tons Of sugar To equal this ], 300,
600 tons would require an annual ex-
pansion Of 10000 tons, which the
Star declares is a Utopian idea. AS
the population increases the conSump-
ton of sugar must increase also. To-
day the consumption is sixty-three
pounds per capita. When we have
added a million to our population, su-
gar consumption will have increased
63, 100000 pounds. But the Star as
serts that the per capita consumption
increases also. so that the sixty-three
pounds a person is by no means the
limit. In England the per capita con-
sumption is eighty-six pounds. BY the
time the beet-sugar growers have
reached and equalled the 1,5o0,0o0 tons
now imported, the maximum will have
moved on to a much larger figure. All
which sustains the Record Unions
position that for more than a quarter
of a century to come the Hawaiian su-
gar production will not disturb us.
