The regular monthly medal shoot of the Gruetli Schuetzen Club will also take place at the ! same range. At the monthly meeting of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club, which was held in the hall of the Eintracht Club, it was decided that the great annual turkey- shooting tournament will be held at the San Rafael park on the 15th inst. John Utschig, William Nolte Jacoby were appointed a committee of arrangements. to nominate candidates for office for the year of 1897 is composed of Otto EBremer, H. R. Brown and Philo Jacoby. The secreiary reported that the club is financially in a flourishing condition ana that $1500 isin its treasury. The secretary of the Intersiate Coursing Olu b states that the monthly meeting, which should be held on Tuesday next, Las been postponed to the following Tues- day. The San Rafael Gun Olub was organized recently with the ifollowing officers: P resident, T. J. Fallon; secretary, J. J. M urray; treasurer, Charles McAllister. Tne club has rented an ark, which will be located in the Sonoma marshes during the duck-shooting season. John Lemmer, R. Brooks, James Mark- lana ana J. Burgez left yesterday for a day’s duck-shooting in the vicinity of Antioch. Mr. Lemmer is considered a splendid marksman, and his friends ex« pect to receive some nice strings of *‘black Jack’’ on Monday. Sportsmen of the Tamalpais Gun Club are limited to twenty-five birds. Several of the members scored the full comple- ment last Sunday in a few hours’ shoot- | ing. Quall are very plentiful on the club’s preserve this vear.

Judge John Hunt will as toastmaster. Secretary Vogelsang is desirous that THE CarL inform the gentlemen who intend to appear in full dress that accident insur- ance policies will be furnished upon appli- cation to bim before the mess, Bhooting and Fishing, a sportsman’s paper published in Boston, says editori- ally, in reference to the existing war that is pending in Bolano County between the preserve éubs and the resident sportamen who are forbidden to shoot on the Buisun marshlandss With the coming of cold weather in the north, and the great flocks of ducks which swarm slong the Pacific Coast, there comes the renewed rumble of discontent, argument and threatened trouble between various and sundry individusls and organizations in the vicinity of San Francisco, Cal. Who is right and who is in the wrong {t is not our purpose now to mention, but it all shows thatsome- thing is radically wrong with the system fol- lowed by gunnér or sportsman, as the case may be. a}lfol’nll sportsmen should at all hagards take steps to bring about an amicable settle- ment of the differences which have existed and still exist in the coastwise counties of their great State; they should endeavor to stop wanton slaughter of water-fowl by shooters throughout the cooler months ana far into the spring, and stop the threats oi violence, suitsat law, and various difficulties which heave in the past not been creditable to the 1air name of themselves as sportsmen or the Btate 1n which me{ take 80 much pride. The protection of the very game whose loss they deplore cannot be looked after while there are petty quarrels to ooccupy their atten- tion, and the game needs all the care thatcan be bestowed upon it. The opinion as expressed by the writer of the aboye article will doubtless be ap- proved by all fair-minded sportsmen. There are game birds in abundance in this State during the shooting season, and, as the president of the State Sportsmen’s Protective Association remarked at a mass-meeting which was held iast Thurs- day in the Alcazar building: *“'If the salt marsh preserves and the professional mar- ket-hunters were done away with, and the game thoroughly protected during the closed seasons, there will remain wild birds and animals in sufficient numbers to uusfg the desires of all classes of sports- men.” The Mallard Club will be strongly rep- resented in the Suisun marshes to-day. Anticipating some hot shot from the rifles of armed flm.keepen the club had shipped to its ark fourteen Winchesters last Tuesday. Before Sharkey was matched to fight Bob Fitssimmons he penned a letter to Joseph Donovan, the sporting editor ef the Chicago News, which reads as follows: . I never feit better than since my arrival home the last time. I am here waiting to hear from that big dog, Jim Corbett. 1 am feeling more every day that he is afraid to meet me and is not man enough to say so, but wents to sneak round and fight Fitzsimmons through the newspapers. Ican’t tell what I'll do about it yet. Something may happen. After Tom has finished with lanky Fitz he will be then in a position to know ex- actly what he is capable of doing to Cor- bett in a ten-round contest. NEW PATROL-WAGON. It Reached Here From New York Yes- terday Morning. One of the new patrol-wagons manu- factured in New York was delivered at the Central police station yesterday. It would have been placed immediately in use, but it did not have brakes. These will be supplied as speedily as possible. The new wagon is a vast improvement upon the old. It is covered so that prison- ers are saved the humiliation of being gazed at by the public and are protected from the rain in winter. It also serves the purpose of an ambulance. The seats can gs folded up when necessary and a swinging stretcher substituted. ——————— Ar the meeting of the Wheelmen’s Municipal Leacue, held at the rooms of the Olympic Club on Wednesday evening, Fred W.

There Were Ladies in Costume, Ha!- loween Games, Japanese Tea and Music and Song. ‘While the City was in a tumult over McKinley and sound money yesterday many society ladies and their friends were engaged with the absorbing pursuit of charity for the little ones, those for- tunate tots whose howme is the kindergar- ten classroom day after day. The ladies realized, of course, though too late, that they hed made a mistake in the selection of banger day for a chari- table fete, but when evening came it was brought home to them in & most agreeable manner that their good work was fally appreciated, For despite the sterling de- | Brilliant Entertainment for |3 mands upon all citizens to stand together yesterday crowds of gentlemen found time to visit the residence of Mrs. W. 8. Du Val at 1012 Pine street, where the enter- tainment in aid of the Pioneer Kindergar- ten Society was held. Great preparations had beengmade for the fete, which partook of the nature of a reception, with a Japanese tea, a concert and Halioween games, and also a really interesting entertainment by T. Aoki, the si over two pictures pre- sented by William Keith and G. Cade- nasso. The roomy residence was completely transformed for the occasion. In the halls, perlors, garden and verandas every- thing was distinctively Japanese, with but few exceptions, where some gorgeous em- broidery or ornament fitted in. The par- lors thrown open were decorated with exquisite Japanese embroideries, which were loaned by Mrs. David Bixler, Mr. Marsh, Miss Jessie Robson of Oakside, Napa County, Mrs. Louis Monteagle and Mrs. George A. Moore. Mrs. Duval’s collection of embroider- ies, bric-a-brac, ebony furniture and cabi- nets from Japan were shown to good ad- vantage. Lanterns from Cairo and Con- stantinople bung from the ceiling, the windows were darkened in the afternoon, and 8o a fine effect was reached in this in- terior, in which long, slender palm bnncha, fernsand chrysanthemums were lavishly distributed over the walls. The garden was decorsted with oriental lan- terns and canopies and furnished with bamboo and teak wood chairs and couches. In the spacious dining-room the decorations consisted of palms, mistle- toe, bunches of cut flowers and pumpkins, hollowed and with rudely carved features like the ghosts of Halloween. It was here that the Halloween games with apples and red peppers, ete., were held at night, and merriment was at its height. As it was a characteristic Japanese fete the young ladles and little girls and boys wore the brilliant costumes of the lotus land while serving tea or acting as a com- fete a picturesque appearance through their becoming costumes were Miss Sophie Brannan, Misses Beulah and Edith Stubbs Misses Gertrude and Mollie Dutton, Miss Yettie Du Boise, Miss Ethel Meyers, Miss Beatrice Townsend, Miss Hilda McKenna, Miss Maud Mullins, Miss Gertrude Van Wyck, Miss Elise Clark, Miss Ethel Deane, Miss Vesta Bhortridge and Miss Alice Herrin, In the afternoon Mr. Aoki was the center of an admiring group, as he aashed off artistic Japanese sketches in water- color for the benefit of the society., He painted birds, storks, fieures, bits of land- scape and humorous subjects, every one of which was highly prized. The programme for the afternoon con- sisted of a_piano solo by Miss May Sins- heimer; *“The Harmonious Blacksmith™ (Haendel), by Miss Elsie Cellarius; piano duet by the Misses Schucking and Bien, “Liebes Traum” (Liszt), by Miss Aimee Cellarius.

John Giblin, a finisher, living at 428 Linden avenue, was sentenced to six months in the County Jail on July 16 for battery upon his wife. It was an aggra- vated case, as he almost beat her to death.
