Their success was phenomenal, 1he net result of three bags beinz: Fifty- six quail, fourteen widgeon, three teal, twenty-one English snipe, five cottontail, besides several piover and other game. These with an excellent menu of other delicacies were served at the hotel the evening following, and the members had } a most enjoyable time. Since this club was organized some three months ago it hzs never bzen found that there was a single infraction of the game laws in that vicinity. Every mem- ber isa self-appointed game warden, and woe unto the poacher who attgmpts to kill with traps, neiting or to shoot out of sea- son. The region where the ciub is located abounds in every variety of game, and a plentiful bag is the reward of every mem- ber whose aim is true and nerves steady. HANDBALL IN THE COURTS.

The surprise cf the week in cvcling cirzles comes from the East, and is to the effect that the thres leading cycle jour- nals of Chicago—Bearines, Referee and Cyciing Life—have given up the ghost. It seems almost impossible to believe, but is nevertheless the fact. They have been consolidated into one paper, which will be known as the Cycle Age, and will be devoted almost entirely to the trade, but a small portion being given over to the sport itself. *Well-Fed” Spooner | will probably have to seek another vocation. When it is remembered ;that Bearings paid to its owners, Van Sicklen ana Bar- rett, both old-time racing men, $50,000 net during the year 1895, its decliue can be quickly measured. Otto Ziegler Jr. came to town Wednes- day night from San Jose to see kis cousin, Owen Ziecler of Philadelphia, go | against George Green. He must have | been disappointed in the showing. One | thing is certain—Otto was never accused of throwing a race, even if Owen is of faking a prize-fight. The new chainless wheel is attracting a great deal of attention. The chief merit accorded it is its immunity from the effects of rain, mud and dust, due to the driving mechanism being encased. The only criticisms, apart from those of mechanical theorists, appear to be on the score of its wide tread and its weight of 251 pounds. Further, an Eastern rider Who has just bought one writes me that | while the machine seems to be very rizid it does not run as easily asa chain-driven machine. On a hill it does not respond quickly to tne pedal pressure. If some of the men who won prizes in the last ten-mile C. A. C. C. race and are complaining of the value of the same would become members of it themselves and help to defray the expenses by their contributions of $1 a year apiece, the officials might be able to put up better prizes for them to ride for.

The arrival of the All-America and the Baltimore teams and the exypert manner in which they have illustrated how the national game shouid be played has in- creased, if possible, the interest in base- ball. There 1s much dissatisfaction existingin the ranks of the few remaining teams in the yeliow journal's tournament. The tournament was practicallv killed when the Fresnos left Central Park and took their bats to Recreation Park. Last Sunday the Heesemans violated a tournament role and played an exhibitien game with KFresno in the raisin center. It was for violating this same rule that John Grace, Who Judged the Inter- state Coursing Meet at Merced. the tournament committee suspended Gilt Edge and Reliance. Yetin the case of the Heesemans their act was not ques- tioned. The tournament is in suck a pre- carious condition that the clabs now go as they please.

One or two good con- tests, like the battle between Green and McKeever. or the one in which Lavigne and Walcott were the principals, may re- move somewhat the stigma now attachel to the sport.

It is evident from Zeigier's manner Wednesday that the purse off:red by the fight-promoters was too trivial for him to fake even respectably.
