On New Years day the annual class
singles tournament will be played.
This is one of the clubs most import
ant events during the year and one
the players are looking forward to
with great interest. Class tourna-
ments have always been popular and
it would be a good plan to hold one
every three or four months. Just who
is the best man in each class is a
question that each and every player
would like to have decided
1t will be a difficult task for the
committee to classify the players. In
the continuous tournament the play
ers have been put into classes. but il
is not intended for a correct classifi-
cation. 1t is doubtful if there are
more than two really first class men
in the club, but the chances are many
who belong properly in the second
class will play in the first. Many of
the players are evenly matched and il
would be difficult matter to pick the
clubs best man. DR.. Chesney is con-
sidered by many to be the cleverest
player. but he would have no easv
time beating men like Allen. James.
Collier. Hill, Gardner and Long.
Merle Johnson leaves for New York
to-day. VIII Allen will remove to the
same city early in January. This will
take two good men from the first
class and will send those below them

GUNMEN ENJOY
GREAT SPORT
Find Ideal Weather Condi-
tiOns on the Marshes and
Return With Big Strings
MANY HAVE THE LIMIT
Good Shooting Is Expected
Again This Week, as Ducks
Are Plentiful Everywhere

Ideal weather conditions for duck
shooting prevailed last Sunday, with
the result that the legions of sports
men on the marshes had the best days
sport of the season. There was a light
rain falling and good wind blowing,
which kept the birds on the move, and
they worked well for the guns. The
same conditions prevailed throughout
the district shot over by the sports
men from this city, with the result
that all returned, heavily laden with
game. AS the weather conditions re-
main favorable the owners of preserves
expect to duplicate the strings of can
vasbacks, mallard, teal and sprig which
fell to their guns last week.
If the favorable weather continues
the gunmen anticipate great sport dur
ing the Christmas and New Year holi-
days.
Up at the Miramonte Club preserve
at Burdells, near Petaluma, limit bags
were the rule. Among the members IN
the blinds were j. Homer Fritch, Mr.
Macarthur and r. c. Rosenberg.
The Alameda Gun Club men. includ-
ing Harry Haight, Norton, Bolander
and others. all had the limit.
Down Alvarado way nearly every
man on the marsh had fifty ducks to
bring home.
Four members of the Multnomah
Club secured a joint bag of $50 birds,
principally mallard at their Collins
vile preserve.
Joe Ross of Antioch killed fifty CAD
well. This is a big, palatable gray
duck. which is not seen here in large
numbers.
J. Wilson Bannatyne shot at Giant
some days since and brought down
twenty cans"
Otto Feudner and Edwin Forster shot
on a preserve near Suisun last Sunday
The former secured fifty ducks of
which thirty were cans" Mr.. Forster
was not so successful, his total being
seventeen
On Tomales Bav the cans" seemed
the only birds moving. c. Schmidt and
a friend killed 100 of these, which were
the only ones that came their way.

Great Game of Association

for Idora Park Sunday
HORNETS VS.. PICKWICKS
Occidental Eleven to Line
Up on Alameda Cricket
Ground Against Eagles

Three matches will be played to-mor-
row fer the championship Of the Cali
fornia Association Football League for
the season Of 1s04-1e05, one at Idora

Park, Hugh Williamson being the
referee. On the grounds at Idora Park,
Oakland, the Hornets will line up al
2.30 p. m. against the Pickwicks, Nor
man Logan being the referee.
AS the Hornets should win easily
from the PickWicks and the Gcciden-
tails are pretty certain to prove supe-
Tior TO the Eagles, the closest and most
interesting game will be that between
the Albion ROvers and the Vampires.
Last Sunday the Oakland Hornets and
the Vampires provided the only tie
match that has been played during the
present season. The Albion Rovers,
playing with only ten men after the
first few minutes, scored s goals TO ,
against the Pickwicl1s. The Occidental
Eagle teams viii line up in the follow
ing order.

Probably the most popular indoor
game at the present time is handball.
In every athletic institution in this city

The Discovery of New Georgia Law
Causes CONSERVATION Among
Them at Americas.

They have made a discovery in
Americas, and it is said there Is con-
sequently great indignation. The
Times Recorder says:
yesterday several of the grand jul
rors were investigating the fishing
laws of yhe state, preparatory to using
a drag net on the dYnamiters here
who destroy fish by the million, when
they came unexpectedly upon a fresh
laid law enacted by the last legisla-
ture. And this was a sumner. 1t
provides that it shall be unlawful for
anyone to catch fish, even with hook
and line, the legitimate way, between
June 1st and September 1st. In other
words, the whole of the good old sum-
mer time is closed to the honest ang-
Ter. That is the law, plainly printed,
and the Americus fishermen will have
to go out of business next Tuesday if
anyone here cares to see that this un-
just blow at the inalienable rights OF
the American citizen is enforced.
Where is the soulless legislator who
worked to a passage such dastardiy
bill? Let the disciples of Isaac Walton
surround and scalp him"

PLAN TO BOOM MATRIMONY
Girls Form Club to Aid in Assert
ing Their Leap Year Rights.

The young manageable women of
lie Sueur, Mimi, recently organized
"The Ladies' Bachelor Club of LIE
Sueur," says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The bylaws provide that no member
shall reject an offer of marriage made
In good faith by an eligible man, re-
gardless Of age. He must however,
agree to have the washing done at a
laundry, build the fires in the morning
and not tell how mother used to cook
dinner. 1t is further agreed that he
must not visit the lodge any more than
one night a month and not ask where
his wife was when she returns from
the club at any hour or time.
The club members are strong on the
leap year proposition Also claiming the
rights accorded them by tradition as to
proposals of marriage, but insist on
the young man or old one paying for
the license for the marriage ceremony.
Provisions as to pin money, hired girls
and other household necessaries are
incorporated in the contract.
1t is told that president. vice presi-
dent and recording and financial secre-
taries are already under contract to
marry fine young men and that now
an exciting campaign is on to fill the
places made vacant by these marriages,
as it is thought the offices had much to
do with the early proposals.

DAIN1IEs FOR KOREAN PILATES,
Dou Meat Is in Great Demand at Certain
Seasons.

The Korean is omniverous. Birds of
the air, beasts of the field and fish from
the sea-nothing comes amiss to his
palate, says a writer in Leslie's Week
Iy. Rog meat is in great request at
certain seasons, pork and beef with the
blood undrained from the carcass,
fowls and game; birds cooked with the
lights, giblets, head and claws intact;
fish, sun dried and highly malodorous
all are acceptable to him. Cooking IS
not always necessary. A species Of
Snail fish is preferred raw, dipped into
some piquant sauce. Other dainties
are dried seaweed shrimps, vermicelli,
pine seeds, lily bulbs and all vegetables
and cereals. Their excuses make the
Koreans martyrs to indigestion.

committed the Clevelandites cry out
Shameful "Oisorganizer!' 1t is

BULLOCK GOES HOME TO DIE
THE FAMOUS RECONSTRUCTION GOV.
ERNOR is PASSING AWAY.
Borne in the Arms of Negroes He Is
rTransferred from Train to Steam
boat in Savannah.

On his way home to die ex Governor
Rufus B. Bullock was in Savannah
Yesterday morning for several hours,
SAYS the Savannah News. He arrived
from Atlanta on the Central Of Geor-
gia train.
He is on his way to his ol0 home at
Charlestown, r. l., and at II o'clock
sailed for New York on the Kansas
City. He was accompanied by his
wife and son, Volny Bullock.
When the train reached Savannah
Governor Bullock was carried in the
arms of two sturdy negroes from the
train TO a carriage which bore him to
the wharf.
The condition of the former govern
or of Georgia was that of man whose
life had nearly been run. Pale and
emaciated, he chung to the negroes
with all his feeble strength. In their
hands he was as helpless as an infant.
Ills frame was almost skeleton, and
his every look told that the last few
days of his life had come.
Yet wlrh the shadow of the last
blight upon him his mind was still act
i've, and to the negroes he spoke sew
eral times, apparently in cheerful
frame of mind. AS he had been the
friend of the colored man through
life so in his last visit to Savannah it
was two members of the race who
lifted him from the train and enabled
him to complete the link in the journey
to his old hone in Rhode Island.
MIR. BULLOCK s LAST wish.
For the last month MIR. Bullock has
been seriously i'll at his room at TIE
Peachtree Inn. No one recognized
better than he that the end of life was
cot far distant, and during the last
few days he had often expressed the
wish to close his DAYS at his old home
IN Charlestown, where be spent his
boyhOOd.
Owing to his condition the phVsi-
clans and family did not think that
this last wish could be gralitied, but it
was finally decided that there was
enough strength left to carry the III
mantO the north, where he wished to
be laid at rest, and where he hopes to
spend few days before his spirit and
body part company.
On Sunday night Governor Bullock,
accom- panied by his wife and son and
nurses, was placed aboard the Central
train, although it was feared be would
not survive the journey.
HIS LAST PUBLIC ACT.
Governor Bullock Is about 70 years
old, and is completely broken down.
One of his last public acts was to at
tend on March % the republican state
convention at Atlanta, where be in
troduced resolutions calling on con-
gress TO punish the southern states by
reducing the representation from
those states which have in any meas
ure DISTINGUISHED the negro.

confined to his bed and had not been

An Atlanta dispatch says it has
been definitely decided to send the
Georgia troops to the fall maneuYers

sas, Va, in brigade formation.
This conclusion was reached after
Inference between Adiutant General

Usher Thomson OF the Third in
fantry, he being the senior colonel
Colonel w. E. Wooten will command

its entirety and to which the Dawson
Guards belong. Col. q. A. Gordon OF

composed of eight companies from the
First and four from the Third. The
cavalry will go as separate squad
ron under the command OF Col. +. w.
Meldrim, while the two companies OF
the First Heavy Artillery at Savan-
nah, under command of MAJOR w. w.
Williamson, will be attached to the
Fourth regiment, under command OF
Colonel Wooten.
In all, Georgia will have 2, loo men
in attendance on the maneuvers for
the full period OF fifteen days. Further
details have not been arranged as yet,
but the organization OF the brigade
will be undertaken at once. Within
the next few days brigade staff officers
will be appointed, and the troops got
