In the turf columns of a New Orleans paper of December 3 appears an item which savs that “Colonel Uliman reached St. Louis from San Francisco this week, and thzat the books out there hardly handle $200 to a horse.” Iti<more than likely $200 to a | race was the idea meant to be conveyed. Either statement would be a gross mis- representation, and Colonel Ullman dur- ing his stay here must have wandered into Chinatown and been persuaded 1o partake of a few whiffs from tue pipe of some an- cient highbinder king.

Yesterday the agent of the North Pacific Coast Railroad at Duncans Mills tele- graphed the company that the bar at the mouth of Russian River opened on Wednesday, with the result that steel- heads livitum have been ascending the river, which is at present rather off color owing to the heavy rain which fell during | g the past week. On Thursday seven boxes of steelheads ere shipped to this city by the net- shermen who live near the river; but r. Morgan of Duncans Mills telegraphed Butler that fishing was good and that anglers who contemplate a trip to Duncans must be provided with salmon eggs ana shrimps. A dispatch from A. Rochfort of Poi Reyes offers very flattering inducements 0 anglers who have been fizuring on good sport in the tide waters of Paper- mill Creek. Rochfort states thata large run of hook- bills are in, and that the residents are having sport galore. It has been four years since hookbills made their appear- ance at Point Reyes. They are not a very game fish, but they take a spoon readily, and put up a fairly game battle. Besides hookbills, so called, there are numbers of nice steelheads ranging from bhalt a pound to three peunds in weight lurking in the deep pools waiting an opport cend to the hesdwaters of the creek. is the time lor sport, as another rainfall will raise the creeks and rivers, and then fishing will be at a standstill until the weather settles and the streams run low.

The fighting clubs received a solar- plexus blow yesterday from Chairman Delany of the Health and Police Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors. The Occidental, National and Knicker- bocker clubs applied for permission to give physical-culture contests in this city, but City Father Delany had on his war paint and whoopea “Nit! nitl nitl” | tions be denied.” Then Devany moved | ‘nm the applications of the club man-, | | agers be reported against, and the motion | | W as carried unanimously.

Boxing when conducted in a proper way is by far more intere:ting sport than many other pastimes now in fashion. Comparatively speaking, it cannot be compared to football as a sport, which carries with it a great element of danger. All sports are dangerous to an_extent, It has been known where a real live ten- nis player sufferedgreat injary, the result of a hlow from a tennis 1.

Well done, good and faitnful player.” The death or maiming of a football | | player is considered a mere bagateile, a! there are others, But the dea:h of a boxer is heralded all over the country as being a terrible thing. The country cannot spara him, especially if he happens to be a game feliow. Well, the supposition is that there will always be opvosition to boxing or so-called prizefights, but taking iuto consideration | the number of boxing matches held in this country ana in England during each year, the wonder is that so few accidents are chronicled. | CYCLE GUIDES FOR NEXT YEAR Prospective Committee Ap- pointments by President Adams.

It was particularly unfortunate for the Easterners that on the occasion of their first game in this city there was such a large crowd present, which overflowed the field, makine it impossible to play the game. The men from beyona the Rockies, in their zames in the interior, did well, ana altogether, from a financial standpoint, their trip was a successful one.

Upon the president devolves the duty of appointing ali the committeemen. The cbairmanships of the various committees of course, the largest plums, ana there is a good deal of question as to whom Mr. Adams will reward in this manner. It is generally accepted that Robert M. Welch will be reappointed at the head of the track-racing committee. No better man could be found, and in fact no other appointment would give sat- isfaction. The clubs and riders want Mr. Welch appointed, as be is an impartial of- ficial, is popular with the riders and his decisions are resvected. Percy V. Long is spoken of as chairman of the rignts and privileges committee and Chester S. Myrick chairman of the road-racing committee. Nothing definite has been decided upon, but President Adams will announce his appointments the coming week. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold a cribbage tournament at their Golden Gate- avenue clubhouse to-night. The lmperial Cycling Club will have an entertainment and dance at Native Sons’ Hall, Tuesday evening, December 21. he Cycle Baseball Leagus will meet to-night at the Olympic Club.

Seats may be reserved to- day and Monday at Sherman & Clay’s. The reinstatement of Charies A. Kraft tothe amateur ranks not being thoroughly understood, the foliowing explanation may be in order: He was declared a pro- fessional by Chairman Welch of the C. A. C. C. racing board. He did not appeal from this decision, but pleaded ignorance of tne rules and placed himse!f before the board of governors asking for clemency. On this ground he was reinstated, but one delegate In particular, speaking for him- self and thevotes be controlled, stated in open meeting that he desired it well un- derstood that he believed Mr. Welch’s stand well taken ana would vote to sus- ain bim. On Kraft’s appeal for pardon, however, presented through a delegate for the Bay City Wheelmen, he was willing to vote in the sflirmative. This is how the delegates stood who voted in favor of the motion. Mr. Welch wasupheld and Krafr was pardoned.

The first installation and banquet will be held ataleading restaurant on Wednes- day evening, January 12, 1898, The com- mittee in_charge of the banquet is com- posed of T. J. Sullivan, J. B.

The club has decided to purchase a n ew race barge at the early part of next year, and then, Captsin Kennedy says, the blue and white will be seen at the front. The first race for the Treadwell diamond medal will be held on the day that the Dolphin Club diamond medal is raced for. it will be sure to furnish great excite- ment, as the majority of the oarsmen are not willing to compete with such cracka- jacks as Patch and Pape. Last Sunday Coach Schuppert had Jim Bartman and Elkon Coney out in the skiff teaching them the proper stroke, and Captain Kennedy was doing the same for Charley Roach and Fred Woerner. Alex Pape will devote his rowing to the skiff exclusively next year, while Patch wili row in the shell, and with these two in the different races the Dolphins will win their share of the prizes. Thomas J. Hopkins, the strong man of the Doiphin crew, will be seen in the junior skiff races next year, and with his great strength and skill which Patch is teaching him he will be a dange rous dark horse. ——— His Intentions Not Appreciated. Henry Schuitz, a nurse, who was having pocketed the effects of J. A. check, whom he had been attending, was acquitted yesterday by Judge Low of a charge of petiy larceny. Scheck died Thursday night, and Schultz proved to the satisfaction ot the court that he picked up the articies with the inten- tion of preventing them from being stolen by strangers who were in the house, AOOTING IN THE MARSHES Where Sprig, Teal Mallard are Plen- tiful, and The Storm Has Improved the Sport on the Sonoma Lowlands. | Large Flocks That Have Been Driven Off the North Shores of the Bay by Heavy Winds, Local sportsmen looked sad and penstye when they saw the heavy rain drops smash on the sidewalkslast Tuesday, the forerunner of the first storm of the season. They looked up at the heavily laden rain clouds and muttered to themselves: “Itis all up with us now; duck shooting is done for.” _ Yes, the boys who have been enjoying fairly good shooting on the marshes within easy reach of the city expected to hear of the departure of the quackers and whistlers to the wide and open grain fields of Southern California, but accord- ing to the large bags of birds that arrived from the marshes between slack Point and Reclamation on Thursday last there still remains a good chance for the knights of the trigger who will leave to- day for their respeciive hunting grounds in Marin and Sonoma countie: There can be no gainsaying the fact that the storm will have the eifect of thinning the marshesof considerable game, as the young grain which has sprung up, mush- room like, within the past few days wiil tempt thousands of broad-bills trom the swamps to the uplands, thus depriving many hunters of a chance to weight down their straps. However, the prospects for teal, sprig and spoonbiil shooting to-day and to-morrow are tolerably good. Pond shooting should be particularly good to- morrow if the weather is at all rough, as the birds delight to rest at ease in some sheltered cove when a Storm is raising spray on the bay. At Point Reyes quail and duck shooting has been very good during the past month. Last Sunday Frank Dolliver, Frank Vernon, E. J. Rudo!ph, Dr. Payne, Fred and Will McGreg:or, Harry Wise, Walter Kempson, Charles Linn, L. M. \ Kalloch, J. Wilkins, H. Spellman and F. { Golden were all fortunate in bagging num- bers of quail and duck and also in catch- ing nice trout in the creek. “Bogie’’ 0'Donnell made a second trip to Suisun last Sunday and returned with 140 birds. “Bogie’s'’ friends in this city are puzzled to know what kind of a charm he carries for the capture of ducks. They say that a ferry boat is a large object and that “‘Bogie”’ nas wissed such a mark at times; but he gets duck all the some. The friends of Clarence Nauman will be pleased to learn that the young and popu- lar sportsiran had a very successful opera- tion performed on his left eye a few days ago. Nauman hopes to be soon among his hunting companions again. Mr. Tillie of the mail service had a very successiul shoot on ducks last Tuesday in the Petaluma marshes. William Remfree of Antioch is creaited with having killed forty-seven blackjacks one day of last week, but to accomplish this trick he shot off 308 cartridges and didn’t take water, either; so states Presi- dent Lemmer of the Blackjack Club.
