THE BIG PIGEON SHOOT, New Jersey Sports Drop Blue Rocks Before Thousands of People. GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP. To-Day Will Be the Close of the Events Which Are to Be Shot Off. WILLARD PARK, PATERSON, N. J., April 4.—Seldom ever before has a live- bird shootgbrought together so many de- votees of Nimrod as did the grand Ameri- can handicap on these grounds to-day. In the intersiate affairs and Dealers’ Asso- ciation Horace White of Syracuse, N. Y., J. B. Ellison and Ed Nolan of Sehita failed to come to their marks when called at the end of the second round this morn- ing and were declared out of the race. These scratches left fifty-eight men in the field when Referee Jake Pentz called the event at 10:15 A. ». The weatber was everything that could be wished for. There were about 1500 spectators present. The birds were nearly all blue rocks. Many of them proved to be very tricky and, asthe score will show, not a few of them man- aged to evade hoth barrels of many a crack gun. Ten men failed to grasp their pigeons in the first round, and the veteran ama- teur, Captain Money, missed his first two, which were rapid right-quarterers. Ten rounds were shot off when time was called and eleven men standing with straight scores. These were Clark, Brewer, Edgerly, Thomas, Tvins, Messner, Class, Apgar, Henry, Elliott and Kelsey. Three misses debarred a shooter from taking any further part in the handicap, and at the close of the day’s sport there were just fifteen unlucky ones who had to stand down. Those who are now out of the grand handicap are: A.S. White, T. S. Duston, W. L. Ingersoll, George Work, T. S. Edam, John W. Hoffman, J. A. Jones, F. G. Moore, Phil Daly Jr., E. L. Post, F. E. Bennett, F. D. Schwartz, Charles Lennon, J. H. Outwater and H. 8. Young. The handicap shoot will be resumed to- morrow morning, and it may be possibly finished in the afternoon. ‘When the sport was adjourned last even- ing the sportsmen’s handicap was left un- finished. . There were forty-four entries and when the seventh round was completed twenty men had tied for first place with seven straight kills to their eredit. They then began to shoot off “miss and out” and when there were only seven left they agreed todivide the cash, which amounted to $220. The Highlands stakes was then begun, but at the call of time this evening six rounds had been shot and the stakes will be finished to-morrow. There were forty- two entries for this event. DIXON AND GARDNER MATCHED. They Will Fight to a Finish for $500 a Side, KANSAS CITY, April 4. ~Tommy Dixon of 8t. Paul and Oscar Gardner, the Omaha .to-day completed arrangements fora finish fight for a side bet of $500 a side, J. H. Herman of St. Paul, Dixon’s backer, sending a draft for $500, which was promptly covered by Gardner’s'backers, It is not settled where the fight will be held, here or at 8t. Paul. Dixon defeated Gardner in thirteen rounds when they met before, but the latter is confident now that he can win. BREWER TO SHOOT CARVER. The Challenge of the Champion Accepted by the Other Crack Shot. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 4—In reply to the challenge of Dr. W. F. Carver of Kansas City, who styles himself the cham- pion shot of the world, Captain J. T. Brewer of this city said last night that he would shoot a series of three or five matches with Dr, Carver at 200 or 100 birds for $1000 or $500 a side in each match. Al- though he would rather shoot in the East, Captain Brewer said he knew Carver would not come here, so he is willing to contest the matches on John Watson’s grounds in Chicago. J. A. R. Elliott said he was also willing to meet Carver, but he did not think the doctar was sincere in desiringa match. New Orleans Results.

Wrestling Match in Cincinnati. i CINCINNATI, Omro, April 4, — In the wrestling match to-night, catch as catch can, between Max Luttberg of St. Louis and Bobby Eckes, the former won both bouts and match. Luttberg won the first bout in 46 minutes. Dunlap McLeod of San Francisco was the referee. The con- test decides the 140-pound championship oftheworld. Football Upheld. BOSTON, Mass., April 4.—It is rumored in Cambridge that the football controversy isabout to be settled. The corporation is said to have voted to uphold the athletic commission and rebuff the faculty, Most of the overseers are also said to be on the same side. Definite action will soon be taken. It seems certain that next year there will be a Harvard team that will play on the lines recommended by the ath- letic committee—college games on college grounds for college men. McCoy-Needham Date Changed. MEMPHIS, Texx., April 4—The date of the Kid McCoy-Danny Needham fight be- fore the Pastime Athletic Club in this city has been changed from April 10 to April 15. THE AMATEUR BOXERS. Olympic Club Boys Will Not Have a Chance of Seeing New York. The boxers of the Olympic Club are very much put out, because their chances of visiting New York are now of the poorest. ‘Herman Oelrichs, the gentleman who had tried so hard to bring about a meeting of the boxers representing the New York Athletic Club and the Olymgw Club of this city, said yesterday that he had just re- ceived a letter from a particular friend in New York conveying the information that boxing of any kind was now prohibited in New York, and that any person detected even in the act of arranging boxing matches would be punished, Therefore New York is out of question, but an effort will be made to bring the New Yorkers and the Olympic boxers to- gether in Boston, and correspondence with that end in view is now going on. BESIEGING THE BADGER, The Hill Tribes of Sausalito Have Found a New Amusement. A Practical Genlus Advises Smoking Out, and the Result Is Depressing. On a windy hillside north of Hurricane Gulch, in Sausalito, is a village of badgers, sagacious, crafty and cautious badgers, who will not be taken by net or lure. No man who has a real good dog of the bull family and who is thoroughly saturated with the sporty spirit is content until he has pitted his pup against the prowess of the badger. He is a tough customer, the Jim Corbett of the Plantigrade Carnivora, with a tooth which can penetrate the thickest hide of armor that bulldog ever wore, and a lower jaw so articulated to the upper that it can hold on with an unbreakable grip. The badger community was discovered by Ernest, the steward of the Pacific Yacht Club, who is quite a naturalist in his way, and has been collecting and maintaining a small menagerie at the club. The pride of the specimens was a big coon, which fraternized with a ferocious American eagle. The bird of freedom would attack anything that approached it with the ex- ception of the coon, for which it appeared to have a sentimental regard. When the eagle screamed the coon used to stand on its hind legs and regard the enormous bird with a look of admiration. Possibly the eagle’s vanity led it to first endure and then affiliate with the coon, but the latter has departed, chain, collar and all, and Ernest thinks he is visiting his cousins, the badgers, in the windy hilfaide. ‘When' the idea of making a wholesale capture of the inhabitants of this village was first suggested, prominent citizens with game proclivities were consulted. A leading Councilman recommended smok- ing out, but was seoffed at by a military man, who had seen much service in the Sacramento war, and who emphatically declared that a large figure 4 trap was the only way to take the badgers into camp. Another advised a simple wire snare, but as that would strangle the badger, and as the object was to uEe them alive and have some fun with them, the snare mo- tion was rejected. The smoking out, how- ever, appeared feasible, and a committee, amply provided with sacks, nets and sul- phur, proceeded against the badgers. To successfully smoke out a badger re: quiresa keen géographical knowledge of the windings and angles of the streets of his subterraneous village. A badger is a dig- ger from base and could give Mayor Sutro points in tunneling. He is buil’; to dig and steal, for the badger's real luck is when he drops in upon a nesting hen, drives her away, or kills_her if she annoys him, and then settles down toa feast of partially hatched eggs. He is partial to eggs, and their freshness is of no conse- quence to him, much preferring, like the glutton that he is, quantity to quality. He a sleeping bull and nab him with his bear- like claws and end his koplunking for ever. When Ernest and his friends kindled a fire before a badger hole that seemed an entrance to the main street of the village they felt morally certain of capturing at least one badger. They brought a bull along to worry him for a bit if he did not o straight into the sack. They piled up rush and turned the flames directly into the hole. They knew that badgers slept in the daytime and prowled at night, and thev\' almost felt forry to disturb the bad- ger's siesta by thus destroying his ozone. The hours™ crept on, more brush and more sulphur were consumed, but still the badgers failed to respond. Then one of the party suggested that the villagers might have gone down to the pond at Horseshoe Bend on a dpicnic and frog-hunt, but a man who had been reading up on badgers declared this impossible, as the badger considered it bad form to be seen away from home in the daytime. The fog crept in through the Golden Gate and stole over the hills and eriveloped the besiegers as a garment or a-layer of wet towels—and still no badger. Then one of the crowd took a walk to get the chill out of hisbones, and returned in ten minutes with a most wrathful expression of countenance, well seasoned with disgust, “Don’t you know, you —,"” he said hotly, “that there are a dozen holes on the other side of this mound, and that this vil- lage is verfectly veptilated, and that all the badgers in ifornia might have marched in procession out of it while we are phenshing on this side and wasting matches and sulphur.” It was even so. And whether the Mayor of Badgertown, in consultation with Ernest’s coon, advised a retreat or whether they enjoyed the ozone-diluted sulphur fumes is one of the mysteries of the expe- ition. e Raided the Game. A quiet little poker game, at which five men by Sergeant Price and a detail of policemen last night. The game was running in a room in the Denver House on Third street, near Howard. Besides the twenty-one men, the Yollca captured $67, which was the amount of he stakes, and a pile of poker chips.. H. A. Lanty, who said he was night clerk of the house, was booked as the keeper of the game; the five players were booked as playin ambiing game, and the rest were charge a wit‘h visiting the game. Bail, ranging from §50,to §20, ws put up for all but three of the let go. . ———— A definite critical edition of Dante has been undertaken by the Societa Dantesca d’Italia, the first based on the collection of all accessible manuscripts.. As nearly 600 manuscripts of the divine comedy are known to exist, the labor will be enormous. In its publication, the Giornale Dantesco, the society assumes as settled certain ques- tions: ‘“The historical reality of Beatrice, now admitted almost generslly; the date of the ‘Vita Nuova,’ now determined to be- long to the first years of the last decade of the thirteenth century; the supposition that some part of the ‘Convito’ was written before Dante’s exile, now shown to be without foundation; the composition of the ‘De Monarchia,’now generally held to be lka.‘t,c’r than that of other minor worl % COSTUME CLASS STUDIES Strong Work by Clever Stu- dents Under Amedee Joullin.

[From an original sketch made for the *Call” by Miss A. B. Johnson.} nine soul, whether artistic or inartistic, the costume class strongly appeals. The class now working at the school under Joullin is not very large, but makes up in earnestness what it may lack in / numbers. The arrangement of the studies is based upon the theory of actual authen- ticity. Upon this Joullin naturally prides himself, and the working out of the theory prevents putting a Turkish fez on an Irish- man or an Arabiang burnous around an Indian squaw. Besides this, so far as is possible, the nationality of the model fits the costume. The model now posing is a burly Algerian negro. In figure he is powerful and splen- didly developed, while his costume is accurate in every detail. If he does not feel at home in it it is because he has suc- cumbed to the conventionalities of Chris- tian civilization and not because he is not clothed in his native garb. This scheme is followed out with all the models. If a Turkish study is required a Turk is found to pose and the plan con- tinued to the extent of possibilities. Four times a week the costume class meets, and between times they may or may not continue work on their studies. The correct and artistic representation of drapery, its folds, lights, color and quality, is tlge aim of the class, and, according to Joullin, the end of the term will show that the pupiis have done good work and are, so far as artistic correetness goes, as strong as any class in the school. The three studies reproduced were se- lected as representative of the work bein, done, and as showing fairly the appropri- ateness and correctness of the costumes their selection does not mean that other workers in the class are not doing equally good work. B Miss Maren M. Froelich’s ‘“Buddhist Student” is representative of that young lady’s work in oil and is especially good, Miss E. F. Van Winkle’s “Turkish Study” is also strong and well handled, as is Miss A. B. Johnson’s “Armenian Study.” Miss Schoenmaker and Miss M. J. R. McElroy also promise to show strongly at the end of the term. 3 Taken altogether the costume class is doing strong work, and there is little doubt that if they follow out the promise of the work being done now Mr. Joullin will at the end of the term have good cause to be proud of his pupils. IN THE NAME OF-CHARITY. Coming Presentation of “Julius Ceesar” by Ambitious Amateurs. Society Is Greatly lnteregted and Engages Boxes Weeks Ahead. As related in the CAvrL a few days ago, the clergy and congregation of the Church of the Holy Cross, on Eddy street, near Devisadero, have decided to build a hand- some edifice on the vacant lot next to the building now used as a place of worship. The funds for this new brick and stone church, which Father McGinty says will be something novel in the way of ecclesias- tical architecture, have been subscribed with the exception of a few thousand dol- lars, and it is now proposed to raise the needed money by means of subscriptions from the parishioners and by entertain- ments, The first attempt to accomplish this end will be a grand presentation of ‘‘Julius Cesar’”’ by well-known local amateurs at the Baldwin Theater, April 25 and 26, with a special matinee performance April 27. The cast is made up of the following Thes- pians, nearly all of whom are familiar per- sonages to patrons of amateur theatricals: Brutus, Richard M. Hotaling; Cassius, Frank J. Murasky; Marc Antony, James A. Keane; Luciusand Servius, Miss Fanny Bowman; Portia, Miss Zillah Coonley; Calpurnia, Miss Smith; Roman soldiers, First National Guard of California; gladia- tors, Olympic Club. Miss Morrill of Oakland was down for the character of Portia, but she finds it im- ossible to be here at the time. Miss Zillah Coonley, whose Parthenia has been so well received by San Francisco audiences, agrees to take the part, and those who have seen her before the footlights are confident that as Portia she will be no less a success than in the parts with which she is more familiar. Every one connected with the affair is determined to make it the most brilliant amateur performance ever attempted on the coast. New costumes have been or- dered, which for richness and elegance promise to surpass anything seen at the local theaters since the days of Booth and Barrett; at least that 1s what young Keane, who assumes the role of Marc Antony says. In the first act seventy-five eople will be on the stage and in the Enttle scene 125 Roman soldiers, senators and citizens will appear. From a social point of view the presenta- tion of ‘Julius Cwsar” may already be pronounced a success. Many of San Fran- cisco’s most pronounced social lights are working nc(iveg' for the success of the en- tertainment and are ereating an amount of enthusiasm which bodes well for the financial part of the programme. Though the opening night is nearly three weeks off several boxes have already been en- gaged and numerous theater parties are contemplated. Miss Nolan, Mrs. Follis, Mrs. Deane, Mrs. Keane, Mrs. Hotaling, Mrs. Bailey and the Misses Buckley are among those who have spoken for boxes for the opening night. These ladies are also among the most prominent of the parishioners who are taking a specially active part in working the entertainment up to a successful issue. Father McGinty and his assistant, Father McQuaide, are working very hard for the success of the entertainment. Ina letter addressed to the parish Father Mec- Ginty says: ““We deem it a pleasurable duty, in view of the very generous offer of certain tal- ented ladies and gentlemen for the pres- entation of a theatrical performance in aid of the building fund of the new Holy Cress Church, to send you these few tickets. Your pride in parish progress and your desire and determination to re- place the present church with a structure more befitting God’s nonor and glory and more in keeping with the means with which the people of Holy Cross have been enerously blessed are unquestiored. 5nticipat ng your hearty co-operation, we thank you and beg to remain, Devotealy yours, The Clergy of Holy Cross.” Throngh this one medinm alone over 2000 tickets have been disposed of, and the indications are that fully as many more will be sold before the first night of the lay. ¥, T{ze Church of the Holy Cross may very properly be called the pioneer church of San Francisco. It was built in 1852 on the site now occcupied by the Palace Hotel. At that time it was called St. John’s Church. A few years later it was moved to Eddy street, near Octavia, and in 1891 to its present location near Devisadero street. It is the intention of Father Mc- Ginty to conyert the A)uunt building into a Sunday-school and lecture-room when the new building is completed. Plans have been submitted for the edifice, but no de- cision has yet been made. ————— The Cure Would Need No Advertising.
