When the club first took possession by lease of the Throckmorton estate it imported a num- ber of Mongolian pheasants, which were liberated in the preserve, but owing to the large numbers of wildcats, coons, foxes, etc., that inhabited the woods and can- yons, the foreign game birds were quickly iisposed of. During the past winter not a single bird nor feather of a pheasant has been seen on the grounds, and the keepers are of the opinion that unless the vermin which prey upon game are gotten rid of, there will be very little hope entertained for the success of any game birds except- ing the native quail—a bird that is cunning and crafty enough to look out for its own welfare under the most adverse conditions and circumstances. The officers of the Tamalpai J.'W. Sperry, president; C. Major H. A. Cobb Jr., tary and treasurer. The directors have a scheme on hand which they be- lieve will materially increase the pleasures of the anglers, z: the stocking of Throckmorton Lagoon with Eastern trout, commonly known as New Hampshires. Many sportsmen contend that the E. ern trout, as well as the native steelhead, will return to the sea when the winter rains have ceased. This may be so, still there are experienced anglers in the Tamalpais Club who strongly believe that alarge number of New Hampshires will remain in or near the headwaters of the creek at all seasons of the year, and afford the Waltonians of the club good sport. It is a well-known fact that in Bear Creek—a small stream which meanders through the Country Club’s demesne— there are many trout of nice size which have the beautiful vermilion' spots of the Eastern trout on theirsides. They are New Hampshires, but the members of the club who love to angle are keeping this matter a secret because if made public they fear that some of “‘the outside refuse” Club are: Osborn, = 2, Joe Cotton 101, Sir Walter | i might by mistake, as it were, happen into | the preserve and fill their baskets with choice trout. Of course the club’s lake, which is closely gunarded, contains New Hampshires of from_one pound to three pounds in weight, and it requires no great skill on the part of an angler to catch a nice mess of those well-fed and brilliantly spotted beauties. Anglers who belong to the good old days need not be reminded of a sheet of water which lies distant about two miles west of Menlo Park, and which is known as Flood’s Lake. Several years ago this large ond was stocked with small-mouth black ass and trout, and when the fish had grown to a size fitting for pan use, several nocturnal raids were made upon them by anglers who reside in Redwood City and other towns situated near Menlo Park. The keeper of the lake finally hit upon a lan to catch poachers when the latter east expected a visit from the bailiff. A wire was sunk in the waterclose to the bank, and an_electric battery, which was placed in the keeper’s sleeping apartment, connected with the sunken wire so that the slightest touch to the latter conveyed a notice to the keeper taat something was wrong on the outside. Three evenings passed after the plans had been laid before the alarm gave the slightest indication of disturbance, but on the fourth evening the alarm struck out with all itz might and the keeper made a beeline for the pond. Slowly and cau- tiously he crawled on his marrow bones to the spot where his trap was set, and there he discovered two of his most particular friends engaged in a_fruitless attempt to extricate their lines from what they had considered to be a sunken logs The pulling | on the wire, which was firmly fastened to the bottom of the lake, started the bat- tery in the house, and as a result two able- bodied poachers were bagged at a time when they firmly believed every good Christian was enjoying the sleep of right- eonsness, _ The secret spread, and now the keeper is seldom_annoyed by poachers from the surrounding country. 'F}])e bass;in Flood’s Lake _uvcx’nge half a pound to four pounds in weight, but those who are in the swim, 80 to speak, will not have an opportunity to angle for them until after July 1, when 2 ion can be obtained by permit only. The State Sportsmen’s annual pigeon- shooting tournament will take place at the Oakland track, commencing on Friday, May 3, and ending on Sunday, May 5. The Pacific Kennel Club’s benchshow will open on May 8, and it promises to be the most successful exhibition of dogs ever held in this city. PACIFIC KENNEL CLUB. Valuable Dogs Entered as Competitors for Prizes in the Coming Show. The Bench Show Committee of the Pacific Kennel Club met last evening. It was stated that the special prizes’ would be quite varied. Herman Oelrichs yesterday sent in a check for $50 to be distributed in such specials as the committee may select. Entries were good both yesterday and evening. Mrs. E. B. Grace entered a ken- nel of Yorkshire terriers. Mrs. George Crocker a kennel of Scotch collies. C. A. Sumner, President of the Southern Cal- ifornia Kennel Club, fox terriers. John 42 (fox terriers. Heffernan, Stockton street, Bernards and H. N. Morse, Oakland, Cocker spaniels. Miss D. Shannon, fox terriers. F. W. Sanderson, kennel Ameri- can fox hounds. Mrs. Hugh McCracken, kennel greyhounds. Miss Kate Water, Edgar Mills, fox terriers. R. K. Gardner, English setters. Over 170 dogs were entered yesterday. The entries will close this evening. HANDBALL CHALLENGES. Harlow and Condon Are After the Scalps of Linchan and Feeney. A week ago R. Linehan and J. Feeney of the Union handball court issued a chal- lenge in the CALL to play any team on the coast, with the exception of Jones and Riordan, for a valuable trophy. J. Harlow and J. Condon of the San Francisco court have accepted the chal- lenge, the match to consist of nine games, part to be played in the San Francisco court, and the remainder in the Union court. They are willing to leave the selec- tion of the trophy to the CaLn repre- sentative. The following letter speaks for itself: - To the Sporting Editor of the Cali—SIR: As it is now over a week since I made a deposit of $20 as & guarantee that I was neither ‘‘dreaming” nor joking in issuing my challenge to play John Riordan, the coast handball champion, orany other handball-player, barring Jones, butdid so in good faith, and as Riordan has failed to cover my deposit, 1mnow elaim the championship of the Pacific Coast, and am pre- pared to defend the title against ail comers. 1f ex-Champion Riordan would still consent to play me for $50 or £100 I shall allow him to name the referee, judge and scorer and have the_selection of balls. The only condition I shall impose is that part of the gaimes be played in the San Francisco court, and I will guaran- tee he gets fair play. 1f Riordan should not accept perhaps a “younger and better-looking man” may doso. Yours, ete. J. HARLOW, Champion of the Pacific Coast. ———————— AMATEUR ATHLETICS. The Reliance Club’s Office: Olympic Boxers. The Reliance Athletic Club of Oakland has elected the following officers for the ensuing year: R. M. Fitzgerald, presi- dent; J. H. Ames, vice-president; direc- tors—John A. Britton, C. A. Lovell, C. A. Bon, 8. G. Dunbar and G. P. Morrow. An amendment was made to the by-laws au- thorizing the beard to reduce life member- ship to the club to $100 for a limited period. It is quite probable that Superintendent Kennedy of the Olympic Club will match Charles Slamberg of the Acme Club and Milton Hayes of the Olympic for next month’s special boxing night. And as Jimmie Delaney is anxious for another bout with McMahon he will in all proba- bility be accommodated. George Bates is in hopes of meeting Billy ‘Hughes of the Acmes. Kennedy is at present figuring on good men to give a good exhibition. e —————— “The end crowns the work” in good cooking. There's none so good as that in which i)r. Price’s Baking Powder is used.

LOUIS, Mo., April 20.—In an inter- view, Corbett said: “I think the ficht be- tween myself and Fitzsimmons will come off in Jacksonville. Itis absurd to say I have the slightest interest in the club there. Do you suppose that Fitz is fool enough to fight in a club where I could appoint and govern a referee? Not much. I will not agree to fight in New Orleans unless I find it impossible to fizht else- where.” On Lexington’s Track. LEXINGTON, K., April 20.—Third day of the Kentucky Association spring meet- ing.

FORTY VESSELS ON THE WAY. A Rumor That the Syndlcate Is Letting Go—A Rise in Charter Prices. Every iron ship in the harbor, with one exception, has peen chartered. The ex- ception is the British ship Dunstaffnage, which, it is said, refused a cargo at 30 shil- lings last week. This isa condition of af- fairs which has never before existed in the history of the port. A year ago Mission Bay was crowded with idle British vessels, and charters, which were few, were offered at ruinous rates. It is only within the past few weeks that the price of charters began to rise, the in- crease being proportionate to the demand for foreign bottoms. The price started at 25 shillings and .is now up to 31. Some- body has been working very quietly in the matter, and ship after ship has been em- ployed. What the reason is for the sud- den demand for wheat-carrying vessels isa matter of conjecture on the water front, but the mystery seems to have been solved on 'Change. It was rumored that the syndicate which attempted to corner the wheat marketa year ago by snapping up all the stuff of- fered and calling for more, had received in- structions to let go. Broker McGlauflin was the man who purchased the bread- stuff, but who his backer was could never be learned. The late James G. Fair was credited with having furnished the money for McGlauflin’s heavy purchases, and while the statement has never been proved it is generally accepted as true. It is said that at least 200,000 tons of wheat were boaght in by McGlaufiin and stored away in the warehouses at Port Costa. Of this_amount 170,000 tons yet remain on hand, a menace to the market. With this reat amount of wheat on hand there is ittle danger of a rise in local rates and brokers and farmers would like to see a selling movement on the part of the hold- ers. It is common report that the wheatin the Port Costa warehouse is weevilly and the managers of the Fair estate do not wish to take chances on the destruction of the entire stock, and se for that reason it is said the order hasgone out to sell thestuff. The chartering of all the English ships in the harbor would seem to lend color to the rumor of the sale of the syndicate wheat. Gossip says that the stuff may be shipped to Liverpool via New Orleans, as there are not sufficient vessels in port to carry the stored tonnage. This may, or may not be so, but there is a big tleet of ships now on the way to port from various parts of Europe. The engzaged tonnage in port up to yesterday amounted to 43 tons. A year ago to-day there were 65,055 tons in the harbor lying idle, the engaged tonnage amounting to only 5. Two British ships arrived yesterday—the Ful- wood from Calcutta and the Holywood from Liverpool. The latter vessel s chartered prior to arrival, and negotia- tions are already under way for the char- ter of the Fulwcod. Of the big fleet of vessels now speeding toward San Francisco at least forty are known to be chartered at from 25 to 31 shillings. In addition to this there are but three American ships in the harbor which have not been chartered. These are the Belle O’Brien, Great Admiral and the J. B. Walker. - It was rumored yesterday that the Belle O'Brien would soon be sent 1o Port Costa to take in a cargo ot wheat. Captain Colley of the vessel admitted that he would soon be taking a cargo, and inti- mated that the vessel would be foreign bound whea she sailed. In view of the foregoing it is evident that somebody is unloading his wheat, and indications point to the syndicate. Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is always de- sirous of entering Your home, sure that trial will make it a life-long tenant. > ROUND THE UNION. Cyclist Winder of the Buffalo Express Arrives on His Wheel — His Long Trip. Tom W. Winder, the cyclist from War- saw, Ind., who is endeavoring to ride around the coast and border line of the United States, an estimated distance of 21,600 miles, in 300 consecutive days, re- quiring a daily average of seventy-two miles, arrived in this City late Sunday night from San Jose, from which point he had been escorted to Oakland by Joseph B. Carey of the Garden City Cyclers. Mr. Winder is of slight build, weighing but 123 pounds. He appears to have stood his long and but partly finished trip ex- ceedingly well, Mr. Winder is a newspaper man and was sent out by the Buffalo Express, which puper pays him $1500 for the trip besides is hotel expenses. Besides that he is to receive $1000 from a bicycle firm for riding one of their machines if he succeeds in making the frip within 300 days. He started out March 14 from New Orleans, and has made an average of only about 60 miles a day so far, but the country he has assed over he thinks is the worst he will nd. Some of his experiences in the sparsely settled country through Arizona and New Mexico were rather unpleasant. One attempt was made to stand‘,’him up, but he scared the robbers off with his istol. At times he has been very much othered to get his meals regularly. Once he went thirty-eight hours without food. The class of transcontinental cyclists who have arrived here lately have not been very cordially received by the local wheelmen, who have been inclined to have little faith in them. Mr. Winder, how- | ever, seems to be anexception to this class. He pays his way, stops at the best hotels and his stories have a truthful ring to them. To-day he leaves for Sacramento, and will continue on via Portland to Seattle. From there he goes East as far as Belfast, Me., by way of St. Paul and the shores of the great lakes. From Belfast he follows the “Atlantic Coast sonth as 'far as St. Augustine, Fla.,and from there to New Orleans, at which place he must arrive by January 6, 1896, to win the extra bonus. DEFINED AS FURNITURE. General Appraisers’ Decision as to Ar- tistic Bric-a-Brac. A matter of interest to dealers in artistic furniture is incorporated in the decision of the board of general appraisers on the pro- test of an importer against paying a duty of 25 percent ad valorem upon a bric-a- brac cabinet, upon the panels of which was a painting in oil colors, and which had been assessed as “house or cabinet furni- ture of wood.” The protestant claimed that the article should have been admitted free of duty as a “painting,” under the clause of the tariff act admitting paintings free. The lan- guage of the ta act is that “the word ‘painting’ shall not be so understood as to include such as are made wholly, or in part, by stenciling or other process.’” The board of general appraisers cites de- cisions of the United States Supreme Court pointing out a line of demarcation in cases of this d, which decisions define the word ** ting”’ as a work of art “intended solely r ornamental purposes,” and “not | susceptible of use otherwise than as a painting”; and that does not include “‘an article for use independent of the paint- ing,” nor “objects primarily aesigned for a useful purpose, but made ornamental to please the eye and gratify the taste.” It therefore decides that the article is not a painting within the meaning of the tariff laws, but is ‘‘house orcabinet furniture,” with an oil painting on it, subject to duty at 25 per cent ad valorem, JUST A MATTER OF AGE. A Woman’s Evidence in a Japanese Case Now on Trial. It was one of those peculiar questions involving a woman’s age which made things look bad for Suzuki Matsutaro yes- terday in the United States District Court. Matsutaro is charged with having im- ported two women, Hatsu and Taku, respectively, last July, from Japan, for immoral purposes, and his case will go to the jury to-morrow. The women have been living at 6 St. Mary’s street. Matsataro’s contention was that Taku was his wife and Hatsu his mother-in-law, and that after he brought them to this country they went to the St. Mary’s-street abode voluntarily. Prosecutor Schles- singer asked Taku what was the age of the oldest child of Hatsu. She answered 35 vears, She was next asked what was atsu’s age. The reply was 42 years. As there is not much diiference seemingly between the ages of mother and child, the falsity of the testimony was apparent. The age of Taku is about 25 years and that of her alleged mother 30 years. FURNITURE N A FLAT It Was the Cause of Much Un- happiness That Led to a Lawsuit. How the McFaddens Fought Against the Instaliment Plan. There was a little suit for $10,000 dam- ages in Jundge Hunt's court yesterday that recalled incidents of ““Our Flat” as played by the Emily Bancker Company in this City some short time ago. In that play the strongest situation is where the furni- ture, bought on the installment plan, is ruthlessly removed by the furniture people and the inmates improvise furniture to fill the gap. But in the suit brougnt by J. E. McFad- den and his wife, Della McFadden, against the Sterling Furniture Company there did | not appear to have been any circumstances | to relieve the taking away of the furniture which was in the possession of the couple at 161914 Geary street. They claimed that the defendant company entered the house, and in its entry “broke and injured doors and walls and carried away clothes, furni- ture and household goods,” all in the dam- age of plaintiffs of $10,000. Tt scems that McFadden first proposed | to sell the furniture and got Auctioneer Butterfield to promise to take it for some $250, although it was originally worth about $300. With that money McFadden intended to pay off the Sterling Company people and pocket a small balance. But- terfield paid something to bind the bar- gain, but something came in the way of its consummation and one day he went up to the little flat to see about things. Sterling Company people, according to the story of witnesses, suspected that Mc- Fadden meant to dispose of the furniture to some one else besides Butterfield, and had sent a man to watch it. Therefore on the same day that Butter- field went out to the flat, there happened to arrive there some agents of the Sterling Company. The McFaddens were out. How entry was obtained is a_question, some witnesses swearing td violent means and others to finding a key conveniently placed. However that was, things soon began to fly. The very carpets were torn up and Sacked off and when Mr. and Mrs. McFad- en returned from their little stroll they found a state of complete devastation in the place of the elegance, order and luxury that had reigned in their flat. George Perry, their attorney, yesterday depicted in touching tones the wreck of a happy home and Attorney ‘‘Captain’ Smith “stood him off” with violent innuen- does against McFadden's motives and methods. The case went to the juryata late hour. T.ast night the jury returned a verdict of $100 for the plaintiff. ——————— Sullivan Awarded Damaged. James Sullivan, a resident of Ireland, was allowed $500 damages against George Peacock etal. yesterday in Judge Daingerfield’s court. On August 29, 1892, the son of the plaintift was passing a building in course of erection on the corner of California and Drumm streets when a portion of the cornice fell, killing him instantly. James Sullivan sued upon the grounds of negligence. X Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly nue£ The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. 4 Tts excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax. ative; effectually cleansing the system dispelling colds, headaches and fevers nnvg permanently curing coustipation.

In the old-fashioned almanac the page de- voted to April was adorned with the figure of a man in his shirt sleéves, wearing a straw hat and scattering seed from & hugeapron. He set an example of industry, but not of dress to us who know that April never passes without many an overcast, bleak, bitter day. In such weather we are liable to prosaic bothersome colds that stop up our noses, make our eyes water,and stiffen the muscles of our backsand limbs, so that we wonder if we are growing old. Not a bit of it. The blooa is sluggish, and does not carry away broken down tissue—the ashes of the body. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky changes all this. It is an honest medicinal stimulant, helpful to revive the flagging strength when sndden changes of temperature try the body sorely. It quickens the circulation and diffusesa healthiul and most welcome warmth through the body. Often we find people complaining at this time of year, that after exposure it takes them & long time to get thoroughly warm. A spring cold has. gripped them with its gauut icy fingers. Let them as- sist the processes of life with Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky, and the clutch of the intruder is shaken off.
