Governor Clirke of Arkansas Indicates His Intentions. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 9. — The g irternity of Little Rock is jubi- night over the news that the Cor- zsinmons fight will probably take at Hd Springs. It is generally be- lieved her that Governor Clarke will throw no ¢bstacle in the way. He was iotified officially to-night that Hot Springs had been agreed upon by the principalsand their managers, and he re- plied by swing that he did not know what be could © to prevent it. “It woud be a shame and an outrage on the name of the State this outrage ghould le permitted,”’ said Attor ren- eral Kijsworthy. *‘The contention made by somy that it is 8 misdemeanor, pun- shableby a fine, and it cannot be pre- ventedif the fine is paid, is not in accord- ance wth the spirit of the law. “Ité the y of all peace officers to preveit any contemplated violation of the law vhen it comes to their attention. No arraigements can be made to pay the fine andproceed with the fight no more than a ma; could threaten to kill another, and afte the deed was committed deliver him- | sel'up to hang. ButIam not in a posi- tio: to say how far the Governor can go. ‘I will say this, however, I would have ofiters on the train and arrest them before iey could reach Hot Springs, or the point atwhich they propose to tight. It would b a disgrace to dump this affair on Arkan- after it has been refused entry into hdian Territory."” The Governor, when seen late to-night, @id: ‘‘About every other man that comes into this office has something to say about the prize-tight. I could stop the fight by tak- ing a shotgun; any citizen could do that. “We have alaw which says prize-fights are a misdemeanor, and I believe that if an attempt is made to pull the fight oft in Arkansas the peace officers will do their duty and arrest the participants. I cannot go beyond what the law says.” bt DID LITTLE TRAINING. Corbett Handicapped by the Absence of His Attendants. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 9.—Corbett did but little training work to-day, owing to the absence of his trainers, who are at Austin as witnesses before the District Court Grand Jury. He took a long walk this morning and exercised with the ath- letic appliances, but spent the afternoon nietly at his cottage with his wife, trainers may be kept at Austin sev- | aays, and in that event Corbett will a serious setback in his work. Corbett stated this evening that he was perfectly willing to fight in Hot Springs, Ark., if the fight can be pulled off there without interference. He stated that he had received no word from Manager Brady to-day as a result of the conference at Dallas. Brady is at Austin also, and President Stuart will f bably not render a decision as to_the ocation of the tight until the Grand Jury mekes its report. Sl - “BLUFFING” RECOMMENCED. Fitrsimmons Offers to Fight for the Belt in Private. DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 9.—At a meeting of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize-fight pro- motbrs held this afternoon, Martin Julian, Fitisimmons’ representative, caused a sen- satbn by making a direct proposition to Wiliam A. Brady, representing Corbett, thai Brady did not see fit to 1mmediately accent. Jiian’s proposition tvas that in the evert the Florida Athletic Club cannot brint off the battle anywhere, then Fitz- simnons will fight Corbett for the stakes alone$10,000 a side, in private, with six men n a side.

WITH HHBE AND HOUNS, California Dogs Make a Poor Showing in the Coursing at Huron. Were Clearly Out of Condition. Eastern Sprinters to Attend the Merced Meeting. HURON, 8. D., Oct. 9.—In the cours- ing for the Waterloo cup to-day the result of the second ti2s was as follows: M. Allen’s Fear Not (Glenkirk-Gilder) and Dr. Van Hummell’s Van Aafke (Lord Neversettle-Verdure Clad) were slipped to a lively hare, who carried both dogs all over the field. First one and then the other was it with honors. It was a case of flag, the race was so close, and it was pro- nounced one of the finest of the meet so far. Fear Not won, Van Aafke making the kill. M. Allen’s Master Dennis, Miller’s Rab Scandal and C. A. Robinson’s Diana (Lord Neversettle-White Lips) were slipped to a long hare. In a pretty course Diana won. M. Ailen’s 8t. Claire (Lord Neversettle- White Lips) and W. C. Peyton’s Charming May (Laughed-Lady Maude) next con- tested, and St. Claire won easily. Charm- ing May was bought from M. C. Mulcaster by W. C. Peyton on his arrival here. The Woodhaven kennel’s Bed of Stone (Herschel-Green Fly) and J. H. Rews’ Frank Green (Sir Hugo-Fleet) met in a run- up and a pick-up. It was a very short course and Bed of Stone won. The Woodhaven kennel's Prince Ful- Jerton (Young Fuilerton-Spinaway) and Warren and Fish’s Master Glenkirk 1Glenkirk-flcnnd-l] next tried conclusions. Master Glenkirk led to the hare by five lengths and did a lot of good work, when Master Jack started across the prairie, leading both dogs a merry chase of three miles and went to earth. Master Qlenkirk (Long Odds-Dover E. Gilder) and .__A. Robinson’s Pearl (Laughed-Lady Maude). Pearl led and won easily, making the kill a short course. Meirose and Durbin’s Gilkirk (Glenkir! Gilder) and D. O. Miller's Rabbie (Miller's Rab-Comedy) next met. This course was a repetition of the preceding one, Gilkirk winning with a kill. J. Eagen’s Eleanor (Glenkirk-Innocence) and N. P. Whiting’s Lucien Swift (Glen- kirk-Innocence), litter brother and sister, competed. The firat portion of this course was very interesting. Lucien got the turn and then it was give and take. A blanket would have covered both of them. but Lu- cien got in and worked Jack for a large number of points, and in a long course of three miles won, making the kill. Result of the first ties in the American Derby: an Hummell’'s Van Gundie (Green -Real Diamond) and_the Columbia Coursing kennel’s Merry Maid (Miiler’s Rab-Ramona)—Van Gundie led up, got the turn, and on a long-working hare clearly outran Merry Maid, who showed that the hard coursing she had last week il! fitted her for a long race. Johin Russell’s Glen Rosa (Glenkirk In- nocence) and the Columbia Coursing ken- nel’s Miss Muffett (Miller’s Rab-Ramona) —Miss Muffett won easily on a 100-yard pick-nrp. R. L. Lee’s Crow Dog (Babazown-Bon- nie Bells) and John Russell’s Hot Stuff (Miller’s Rab-Scandal) —Crow Dog won this course after a long and exciting race, and looks to be a very dangerous puppy hnl\'ing speed and working his hare clev- rly. G. W. Arny’s Colonel D (Carter Harri- son-Fanny Filbert) and N. P. Whiting’s Minneapolis (Glenkirk-Innocence)—Min- neapolis took a long slip, led two lengths to the hare and made a runaway chase, winning after a pumping course of four miles and kill. N. P. Whiting’s Rochester (Glenkirk-In- nocence) and the Columbia Coursing ken- nel's Icelander (Laplander-Outcast) — Rochester won easily. Alameda kennel’y Wayfarer (Major- Daisy) and A. P. Slocum’s Volusia (Vol- taire-Raven)—These dogs were slipped to e EACES AT UKIAH. Fair Weather and Fine Sport om the Opening Day. URIAH, CaL., Oct. 9.—The fall meeting of tls Ukiah Park Association opened to- day and the events of the first day were a success, giving promise of fine sport dur- ing t)e meet. Many fast horses entered for tie various races, and horsemen from all pirts of the State are in attendance. The weather was fair and the track in ex- celleat condition.

Cold Weather Militated Against Record- Breaking Performances. DIS MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 9.—The first Natbnal circuit bicycle races ever held in Iowa were run this afternoon. The track ‘was n good condition, buta heavv wind and cold weather made good time impossible. , it mile, 1,02 class, Moline of Des Molnes agoor hare. Wayfarer led to the hare, which was swerving to Volusia, and made the turn, placing her, when she drove the hare for thirty yards, making a couple of wrenches and a kill and winning the course, the shortest course run as yet. Dr. Van Hummell’s Van Brulie (Van 8. Peter-Valkyrie) ran a bye. San Joaquin ‘was unfit to run. Dr. Van Hummell’s Van Bree (Lord Neversettle-Verdure Clad) and_C. A. Rob- inson’s Banker (Boomerang-Iris Lass)— To a strong hare Banker led and turned after a few exchanges. Van Bree took the hare and after several turns and wrenches killed in fine style, winning the course. The California dogs are clearly out of condition, which accounts for the poor showing made by them. They have never bad a race, but they led to the hare ex- cept in one instance, that of Royal Buck and Van Aafke, and Buck was clearly off. The coursing men here expect to make a combine with the Aberdeen and Oakes men and send out a trainer to Merced with six dogs from this part of the country to take part in the Merced meeting. Dr. Van Hummell is also talking of going. e Seventeen Horses Burned. LEAVENWORTH, Kax., Oct. 9.—~Fire early this morning completely gutted George M. Quimby’s livery and feed stable and ruined Joe Malone’s saloon on the east side. Total loss on building and con- tents, $9000, with $7000 insurance. Seven- teen horses, several of which were blooded animals, were burned up. The National Hotel adjoins the stable and there was great excitement among the guests, many escaping in their night robes, PATCHEN KING OF PACERS, Gentry, Coleridge and Robert J Beaten in a Racing Battle. DECIDED IN FIVE HEATS. The Talent Thrown Down In the Betting After the Victor Had Lost Two Heats. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 9.—The black stallion Joe Patchen lowered the colors of his two famous rivals, Robert J and John R. Gentry, this afternoon and proved him- self the king of pacing stallions. He fought out a racing battle of five heats and was in the contest from first to last. Though defeated his two rivals are by no tneans disgraced, as each showed sterling qualities to fight out a brilliant racing battle. Coleridge was in the wrong class and did not even show his early season’s form. A crowd of 6000 viewed the race and cheered the heat winners with genuine enthusiasm. Robert J was well played at $100 to $50 over the field. A cold wind barred fast time. Patchen carried the gelding in the first heat to the half in 1:01, but nearing the sixth furlong Robert J made a break and it appeared to be all up with him. Mec- Henry came fast with Gentry, and a colli- sion looked certain, but a broken wheel to Robert J's sulky was all, and Patchen won an easy heat by several lengths from Coleridge. At the finish of the second heat, with Robert J and Patchen making a close tie for first place, McHenry came at them with a rush and won the heatin 2:0514. Gentry was timed separately the last quar- ter, and made it in 29)4 seconds. In the succeeding two heats it was Patchen and the gelding, who landed the third, and a rally was made on him in the speculative arena with fatal results, as he could not head off the black stallion. This makes the fourth time that Patchen has defeated Robert J during 1895. Geers had little trouble to land Night- mngale & winner in the 2:09 trot, while with Roetta Soap he wound up the unfin- ished 2:17 trot in two heats. Thomas won handily the $2000 West stakes with that reliable four-year-old trot- ter Dentine, who hasstarted thirteen times this season, winning seven firsts and six second moneys. The $5000 Transylyania stake for 2:15 trotters will be the star event to-morrow, nineteen starters having been named, and it gives fair promise of being a battle royal. 7 class, trotting, purse 1000 (unfinished) —Roetta Soap, br. m., by Patchen Wilkes (Geers), won; Bad Actor, b. g., by Black Am- bassador (Reidy), second ; ‘Isabelle, br. m.. by Jay Bird (Burnett), third.

The Champlon’s Only Fear Is That the Australlan Might Escape Him. James Love, who was manager of the '49 Mining Camp in the Midwinter Fair, has just come to town. He traveled with Jim Corbett from Atlanta to 8an Antonio, Tex., between Wednesday and Sunday last. Mr. Love is an old friend of Corbett, and as such had much to say regarding the champion’s condition and capability for work in his coming contest with Fitz- simmons. - Mr. Love said: “I will speak of Corbett just as I found him. I was naturally anxious to know how he felt. I paid par- ticular attention to all his sayings and doings, and was present at most of his in- terviews with newspaper people. Asa general thing his conversation ran on the lines of the match. He thinks the location of the contest will be settled to-day or to- morrow. It may be in Indian Territory orin Arkansas. It may be held across the river from El Paso. Offers are, however, coming in from all over the country. But this one thing is certain—Corbett wants to fight Fitzsimmons. He says that so much has been written in the newspapers about it, that he will have the fight come off, even if he bas to go to Fitz's training quarters to do it. n regard to Corbett’s condition, I will say that I never saw a man in better con- dition than Jim is, I am qualified to say this because I was with the trainers a great deal. I never heard a word breathed against his condition. Corbett is just like a'great big boy—full of life, with sprightly step. He eats and sleeps well. The only thing that worries him is that Fitzsimmons may get away from Texas or that some- thing in the way of a cold may attack him or his opponeut. Jim takes great care of himself. In the car he was very particular that he should notsleep or sitin a draught. “In his interviews with some newspaper men the matter came up about the attach- ment on Fitz’s money. Corbett immedi- ately said: ‘If anything should happen to me Fitzsimmons could claim my $10.0C0, but if anything should happen to Fitz 1 could only claim $1500." Fitzsimmons had put up $5000 of his own and got a lawyer by the name of Zimmerman to put up $5000 more. *‘Since that time $8500 of the money has been attached by a lithographic company. Even with all this disadvantage, Corbett’s talk is that he will rundown his man just as he did when Fitzsimmons remarked that he would pull the Californian’s nose. “Win or lose, this will be Corbett’s last fight. He says he has had enough of the ring, and, taking into consideration the fact that be has property worth about $100,000, I think he is right. Corbett has been much misquoted and misrepresented. These stories about his injuring his knee- cap and his illness are all bosh. As I told vou, he eats, sleeps, walks and acts just ike & boy, and_he is in the pink of condi- tion. He is right down to his fighting weight, 182 pounds, and nothing seems to trouble him except that Fitzsimmons may escape him.” e OBJECT T0 THE LICENSE Cycleries Making a Hard Fight to Have the Figures Re- duced. Arguments Made by Wheelmen Before the License Com- mittee. The Wheelmen's Protective Association is making a hard fight for a reduction of the quarterly licenses for cycleries. A. 8. Field, owner of a Geary-street cyclery, was arrested yesterday in order to make a test case. Field did not like to take the action, and he told the officers so who held the warrant for his arrest because he re- fused to pay his license. “I've a good mind to pay the $5,” he said, “and let the matter slide.” One officer told him that it was too late, as he was there to serve the warrant. Field telephoned to President Backus of the assoclation, and asked his advice in the matter. Backus replied that he had better pay the license. Field did so later on. His case will be pushed, however, to see if there is any flaw in the ordinance. When the matter of licensing cycleries was first broached the big owners were eager and persistent in_having the license made as high as possible, so as “to drive the little fellows out of the field.” Of course, the “little feilows’’ protested. On the showing made all around, the License Committee of the Board of Supervisors fixed the license at $15 per quarter. Later on the protests began torainin on the committee. First the quarterly dues were reduced to $10, then to $5. These figures are on “little fellows.” The big ones pay a bigger tax. The ordinance as it stands at present is as follows: Owners or agents of oyclerles engaged in furnishing bieycles or tricyeles for hire, or en- gaged in keepinz bicyclesor tricycles for pay when not in use by the owners thereof, shall pey a license on the amount of business done, as follows: Those whose gross receipts are $4000 and over per quarter, $50 per quarter; those whose Rross receipts are $2000 and less than R4000 per quarter, $25 per quarter; those whose gross receipts are $1000 and less than $2 per quarter, 315&§rqulrle|’; those whose gross re- ceipts are $500 and less than $1000 per quar- ter, $10 per quarter; those whose gross receipts are less than $500 per quarter, $5 per quarter. Yesterday Messrs. Garrity, Dennis and Morrill arpe:\red before the License Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors and stoutly protested against the $5 license. They declared it was too high a quarterly tariff on cycleries thatdo not average more than $4 a day in receipts. They urged that the wheeling season was about over, and that business had almost fallen to nothing. Chairman Wagner told them that they would have to present a petition for re- ducing the license in regular form. He added that the wheelmen must also make & showing in figures that the license was too big a tax on their receipts. The wheelmen promised to bring a petition and financial statements from tgeir books to the next meeting. A. 8. Feder, 1808 Geary street, was ar- rested on a warrant yesterday charging him with _rupning a cyclery ‘without a license. Feder's will be made a test case, with the object of coming to an under- standing as to what the license fee should be. 1t was formerly $15 per quarter, but now itis on a graduated scale of $5 up- ward. The Cyclery Association contend that the new ordinance fixing the license fee was drawn up under a misconception, and therefore it is desired to have every- ing put right. e OLYMPIO CLUB SPORTING. A Billiard Tournament and a Baseball Match—Miller's Protest. The directors of the Olympic Club met last evening and decided upon holding a billiard tournament in January next. The outdoor grounds will be fixed up im- mediately, and all kinds of athletic spor'ts will be held during the winter months. A life mempoership raffle is the latest scheme of the directors to increase the membership. One thousand chances at 50 cents a chance, it is thougnt, will materially swell the fast increasing membership. There is talk of a swimming match be- tween Clide Hawthorn, the champion amatenr swimmer of Santa Cruz, and Irvine White of the Olympic; distance one-quarter of a mile. Muller, the boxer, who had refused to box a fifth round with Payne of the Sacra- mento Athletic Club at the recent tourna- ment held in the capital city, Las entered a_protest with the Pacitic Amateur Asso- ciation on the ground that if he had boxed more than four rounds he would have transgressed the rules of the association. Payne received the award from the judges on Muller’s failure to toe the scratch when ordered to do so by Referee Bower. Mc- Clatchy, who was one of the judges, should certainly have been conversant with the boxing Tules, as_ he has acted as judge at more than one Olympic Club tournament. The prize won by Payne is said to be val- ued at $100, but the rules state that prizes must not exceed $35 in value. Payne may be suspended by the association. The much talked of game of baseball between the Olympics and the reorganized Pacifics will_take place at Central Park, Eighth and Market streets, next Sunday at 2 o'clock p. ». Jack Donahue will act as umpire and the following is the make- up of the teams: Olympics—O'Kane, catcher; Cooney, pitcher; Wilson, first base; Beckett, sec- ond base; Monahan, shortstop; Krag, third base; Gimmell, left field; Sheehan, center field ; Cosgrove, right field. Pacifics—Swett, catcher; Iburg, pitcher; Muryhl;'. first base; Nick Smith, second base; Pequiney, shortstop; J. Riley, third base; Gorman, left feld; Wilds,” center field; E. Smith, right field; R. Levy, extra. — e ‘William Rush of Wishart, Mo., is in jail for eating a cake at a church fair and re- Tusing to pay for it. ‘THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, McLight, the 8 to 5 Choice, Was First in the Mile Handicap. SOOLADAIN FIRST AT 20 TO 1 Lloyd Grew Careless and Very Nearly Threw Away a Race on a Hot Favorlte. It was a toss-up with the judges whether or not they would fine Lloyd for his careiess ride on Gratify. He got off with & reprim and. Madison’s ride on Gold Bug yesterdaywas in marked contrast to the one he put up a few days back. On that particular oceasion he let his horse fall out of the race entirely. Yester. day he had no difficulty getting him going the first part of it. A six-furlong weight for age race will be one of the features for Saturday’s card. The owners of Libertine, Gratify and imnp. Santa Bella have announced their intention of starting the horses named, and the race is still open for any of the other crack sprinters on the track. Had Johnny Payne got away from the post better and Donahue not managed to get cut off around the far turn he would have made it decidedly interesting for the favorite, Model. The brown horse is in fine fix now and should be able to do seme great mud-kicking this coming winter, for he revels in slushy going. Some of the bookmakers laid 1000 to 1 against Eviola, who started in the two-year-old race, and not a few nibbled at the bait. The money would have been better invested had it been contributed to a fund for the transporta- tion to New Caledonia of strong-armed jockeys, for he ran like a bronco on the plains of the wild and woolly West. Jockey Claude Burlingame’'s Hawaiian racer Autonomy was backed down from 30 to 4 to 1 to win the third race, but after looking very dangerous until a furlong from the wire tired badly, finishing in third place. W.O’B. Mac- donough, who was a good winner over the vic- tory of his filly, imp. Miss Brummel, backea the gray horse around the ring. It is & strange fact, but nevertheless true, that one or two bookmakers and a certain well- known son of the Flowery Kingdom who fol- lows the races, always seem to be able to figure out whether the “St. Louis Garrison,” Hinrichs, will 1and in second place when he is astride of & horse backed heavily for that position, or whether some other dangerous horse in the race will beat him out and he will be third. Yesterday he rode Charlie Boots, and & few of these well-advised people backed Sam Leake for the place, and sure enough he came along and beat Boots out the last fifty yards. This is not the only occasion theastute celestial and his followers have been correct in some close figuring that must have caused the use of nearly a full can of the famous “‘midnight o1l” known to the turf, for on a former occasion Gold Bug finished in second position, ridden by Hinrichs, and this for- tunate foreigner cashed tickets on the horse that beat him out a head. Still there are many followers of the turf that claim there is nothing in figures—possibly it depends on the size of figures, With a few more such contests as the last race on the card yesterday the ceme- tereal-like veil that has enshrouded the Bay District Track for some time might be lifted and a new interest awakened in borse-racing. People Lave become tired of seeing a -lot of “dickey-legged dogs’ chase one amotker around the elliptic for insignificant purses, and little is the won- der that public interest in the game has been 2t a low ebb for some time coupled with Sandowic feats of many of the jock- eys, that have been passed over with slight probing. The race in question yesterday was a mile handicap, baving for starters McLight, with 106 pounds up, Claundius 107, Del Norte 105 and Nephew 100. There was a whole lot of money wagered on the result, McLight baving the pull at post time with 8 to 5 against his chance. The distance was considered too short for Clau- dius, and he drifted back in the betting from 11 to 5 to 314 to 1. Del Norte and Nephew both went into the starter’s hands with threes about them. McLight won simply through Dorahue’s razzle-dazzle ride on Claudius, who waited till the clouds rolled by and was beaten a head on the best horse. When Ferguson sent the field away, McLight next the rail, was not moving as fast as the others, but Macklin took a chance at the turn, and saueezing through, took the lead. He opened up a big gap, leading Del Norte into the stretch by four lengths. At this point Donahue was ‘‘shooting craps” on tbe_ back of Claudins away in the rear. McLight and Del Norte both swerved in the stretch, but through Macklin’s des- perate riding McLight lasted long enough to beat Claudius, who tripped along on the inside full of run, a neck, with Del Norte in third place, a head further away. Nephew who was interfered with some- what in the run_home, was Ingped on the third horse. The announced time was 1:403%;. It was by far the prettiest con- test run over the course in many a moon and aroused genuine enthusiasm among the spectators. The attendance was only fair and the betting, barring the lasf, went light. Three of the first choices flashed past the wire in front, the other two events going to a long shot and a second choice. Gold Bug was backed down from 3 to 2 to 4 to 5 to- win the opening race at five and a half furlongs with light welter- weights up, but the second choice, imp. Miss Brummel, led all the way and beat the favorite out handily by two lengths. The two-year-old race over the same dis- tance as the opening run was taken by ihe 7to 20 favorite, Gratify, although Lloyd took matters a bit easy in the stretch and only beat Sam Leake a neck on the wire. Charley Boots was a short length away in the third place. The talent received a hard knock on the result of the third race. The Little Flush colt, a 4 to 5 choice, was backed as though the race was over, but Chevalier, who had the mount on him, got badly tangled up at the post when the flag fell, and he finished second to Sooladain, a 15 to 1 chance, who was well backed in & ‘dog” race last week and finished absolutely last. Model, the 1 to 2 favorite for the fourth race, over the “Derby’’ course, five and a half furlongs, annexed the long end of the urse to ‘ger credit, although Johnny ¥l ne made her run some the last furlong, and was beaten but three partsof a length.

SHOOTING AND FISHING, The Skellville Angling Club’s New Quarters—Blockading Navigable Sloughs. As the season for duck shooting draws near, the sportsmen of Solano County are becoming very anxious regarding the treat- | ment they expect to receive from the game-keepers employed by the Teal and | Cordelia shooting clubs. The Teal Club, as stated a few days ago, had the main slough which runs through the preserve blockaded in such a way as to prevent nav- igation. William Pierce, the owner of the property that adjoins the land which has been leased by the Teal Club, stated most emphatically that the Teal Club must remove the obstruction very quickly or he will have them up in the courts to explain why they had taken upon themselves the authority to violate the Federal law in | blockading a navigable stream. The Shellville Angling Club met last | evening and decided to open the season of fishing for steel-head trout, with a club dinner, at its headquarters near Shellville, on the eveniug of the 20th inst, The club has fitted up very comfortable quar- ters on the bank of the Sonoma Creek, within easy reach of the best fishing grounds. The officers of the clubare H. aum, Mark Berges, George Hindes, C. Raynard, F. Philippson, Charles Ohm, E. Daise, E. Berges, . Staples, A. Bangs, E. Bill, J. Sauter, John Friday and Goodman Lord. The anglers who have been ap- pointed a committee to arrange for the inaugural dinner are: B. Del & Juer, M. de French, H. Quails, C. Fox, C. Winter- spoon, P. Fillup and L. Casino. One of tge rules of the club is that no member | must catch more than one dozen large fish a day, and that the member who will land the largest fish during the season without assistance will be entitled to one dozen cans of salmon roe, prepared by Professor Philiposon. Dr. F. W. D’Evelyn received intellizence a few daysago that his fox terrier, Lang- try K, which' he had sent East to the Omaha bench show received first prize in the special class where twenty-one dogs competed. John Davidson was judge. SLEL T Students in American collegzes wear no distinctive marks, as do our English cousins, unless we might consider lon hair, the shabby cap and the own-it-all swagger of the modern collegian distinctive, The recent decision of the Yale seniors to wear caps and gowns on Sundays through- out the entire academic year will tend to lead to the old Yale campus a decidealy classic air. It may not be many years hence when the higher classes in our colleges wiil adopt the cap and gown as regulation dress, as do the English stu- dents. When this time shall have come our college towns will be as picturesque as Cambridge and Oxfor Exchange. HEALTH LAWS. SOUR STOMACEX.
