Duck-Shooting on the AlVarado
Marshes Exceptionally Good.

Duck-ShootIng on the Alvarado
Marshes Exceptionally Good.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the
duck and quail-shooting season, and as the
weather does not favor quail-shooting the
sportsmen who intended to burn powder
for the last time this year in the country
will doubtless take the marshes.
Wild ducks of the bluebill and spoon
bill varieties are very plentiful in the AL
varado and Aiviso marshes, and it can be
safely said that hunters who will scull the
sloughs or shoot over iavorite ponds to-
morrow will return with good bags of
game.
Spoonbills are also fairly plentiful on
the Sonoma marshes in the vicinity of
Black Point and McGills.

had good shooting from off the old Ala

all the rest of The salmon family in the fact
that the number of rays in the anal fin is from
fourteen TO twenty, while in all the salmon
on the other side of the Atlantic the fin con-
tains no more than eleven rays In other
ways the Pacific Coast salmon differs from the
salmon of Europe and is in fact fish more
intensely salmon than he salmon of Europe,
and il has been placed therefore in another
genus known as the Oncorhy They are,
however, commonly known and called salmon,
and the Chinook name of Quinnat is used to
distinguish them from the real salmon
The settlers found in California the true
trout, black, spotted aud silvery scale, closely
resembling the trout of Europe, but wholly
unlike the CHAIR or so-ca1led trout of the East
ern States. These they rightly called trout,
and several species are now shown.
California abounds with trout and all of the
native species are true trout. The trout as a
rule lives in the streams and lakes, running
but not necessarily or always doing so. 1t is
easily told, however, when the trout has run
out to sea, or is a sea-run trout because the
salt water destroys the black spots and mark
ings and covers the fish with a silver sheen.
The large dark spots upon trout, or rather
dark lateral bands, are evidence OF infancy,
and show the fish TO be young. The coloring
of trout is not safe guide 10 species, except
in particular cases, and even the color of the
meat is not evidence of any value.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 1.-THE proposed
establishment of an athletic park in this city,
which 1t is claimed will be the finest west of
the Missouri River, is creating great interest
among sportlovers of the surrounding locality.
NJ. \. Winans, who is at the head OF the pro-
ject, is driver in all that pertains to the for
warding of athletic sports, and will without
doubt carry the project to successful termi-
nus. 1t is proposed TO make an outlay OF at
least $4,000. $4,000 of which is available at the
present time.
The park will be equipped with all facilities
Tor outdoor sports, such rs bicycle racing,
baseball, handball, trap-Shooting, etc. There
will be handsome and commodious grand
stand and clubrooms, shower baths, billiard
tables, etc. The park will be inclosed with a

st. Bernard dog and the best rough or
smooth coat bitch in the open class.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolucd, Unanimously to support the Olym-
pic Gun Clubs bench show in every possible
manner. and pledges itself not to show a
single dog should the San Francisco Kennel
Club, recently organized, secure dates from
the American Kennel Club to hold a show this
year in this City.
The ST. Bernard Club commands not
less than 100 dogs, seventy Of this number
being st. Bernards.
The members look upon the formation
OF the new club as being stumbling block
in the way OF the best interests of dogs on
this coast.
William Strachan's beautiful st. Ber-
nard Beauty, which took first prize at ten
months old in the San Francisco
Bench Show in 1896 has thrown a
fine litter of ten puppies, all full
color and perfect markings. They are
sired by Thomas H. Brownies champion,
Grand Master, a noble dog, which has
taken prizes all over the United States.
Beauty comes of champion stock on both
sides. She is rich in color, her body being
orange and white, full white collar, breast
and tip of tail full blaze with black shad-
ing. She stands thirty-one inches at
shoulder and welehs $50 pounds. Judge
Mortimer spoke very highly of her in the
Eastern papers after the San Francisco
show. She is larger than her mother, the
celebrated bitch Lola.

teifish gain, regardless OF the results OF
she fish interests of the State.
But when the Commissioners moved to
place stumbling block in the way OF the
professional fishermen by amending the
fish laws they neglected to consult some
of the prominent local anglers who are in
terested in laws that interfere with fish
ing in coast streams.
As the cutthroat or 'Salmo Mvkiss
Henshawi" is the trout that is shipped to
this City from Truckee, the Commission
ers could very easily have amended the
law by closing the season for the capture
of cutthroat trout until May i, without
having to include ali the varieties.
This would not be unconstitutional and
it would answer the purpose admira bly,,
as it Is The Mykiss variety OF the trout
family that needs protection in the
mountain lakes of the Sierras. The trout
found in Webber Lake are said to have
been planted many years ago by DR..
Webber and that he took the original
stock from Feather River. They have
been commonly known as Feather River
or cutthroat trout. Independence Lake
contained large mum bers of the same va
riety, but owing to the destruction OF the
male fishes by professional fishermen who
catch the trout by means of boring holes
in the ice, this beautiful sheet of water
is being rapidly depleted of its denizens.
7. B. Hutchinson, who is one OF Eng
lands best authorities on fresh water
fishes, says:

believe, more followers than any other kind
OF outdoor sport; easily followed, with moder-
ate success easily alta Unable, no danger and

Passenger AGENT Goodman said so yester-
day, and added that everything was now
being done to get as many Pullmans in

they could be utilized.
No Pullmans will be brought from the
East for extra use, but the Pullmans used
on the overland will not be suffered to

wheel will turn, ana TO as much purpose
as possible. The Pullman rate to Carson
will be 81. and the same to return. Should
people go early and stay late, being there
two or three days, they will pay some
thing extra, according to the time the cars
lie at Carson.
The train which is to leave here on the
evening of the 10Th, before alluded to. will

Goodman, between Ogden and Carson,

The Opening Of the Trout-FIshing
Season Will Not Be Altered.
Although it did not rain very much in
this City on Wednesday evening, reports
from Marin County state that the down
pour was general.
There is no doubt that after the rivers
and streams which empty into the ocean
will become sufficiently clear of debris
matter so that steelhead can see
either shrimp or roe, good sport will re-
suit, as the spent fishes will then be on
their return from the spawning beds.
Four weeks of fine weather WILL put the
Russian River in good condition fof fish,
ing, and as it is favorite stream OF the
anglers OF this City it is hoped that the
end of the season will prove as interesting
from a sportsman's point of view as
marked the termination of last year S
steelhead fishing.
Lovers of stream. whipping will lie
pleased to learn that the Fish Commits
sioners have withdrawn an amendment to
the fish law the purpose of which wes TO
close the season until May 1. Had il not
been for the notices which appeared in
The CALL drawing the tten ton of the
angling fraternity 20 the proposed change
in the trout law the amendment would
certainly have passed muster and the
change from April l to May would mean
no fishing in coast streams for the lovers
of the pasiime who reside in this City.
The object of the Fish Commissioner
Messrs. Babcock, Emeric and Vogelsang-
in desiring that the close season should be
extended one month was to prevent as
far as possible, the shipment of cutthroat
trout from Lakes Donner Tahoe, Webber
and Independence 20 this City.

| fishermen have almost depleted some of
| the big lakes in the mountains of their
finny inhabitants, and as April is the
