FOR CALIFORNIA Mongolian Pheasantsto Be Im- ported and Liberated in the State. Streams Waell Stocked With Trout and the Fish Hatcheries Boun- tifully Supplied. At the meeting of the State Fish and Game Commissioners, held yesterday, the subject of more extensively stocking the State with Mongolian pheasants was dlis- cussed at length. Some time ago the Commissioners sent to Oregon for a lot of these beautiful game birds, and many of those from the northern State were liberated in the most favorable valleys %f California. However, the supply was not equal to the requirements, and the Com- missioners decided that greater efforts should be made in this direction. Inquiry was made through W. F. Russell of the North Pacific t Railroad Company Coa | as to what the cost would be of getting the birds direct from China, and a corre- spondent in Shanghai showed that they could be landed in this city at a cost of only $2 50 per pair, whereas it costs all of $4 50 per pair to get the pheasants from Oregon. Upon this showing the Commissioners decided to import about 100 pairs of bfrds 4 n_experiment from China. If they port without much 10ss in num- as an oodly number will be brought here so that the entire State can be stocked. At the present time pheasants are fully pro tected by law. Chief Deputy Babcock was instructed to make an investigation s to the freight rates on the proposed shipments of this kind of game. | Reports were made from the several | trout hatcheries, all of which were of the encouraging nature. At the Shovel tation the take of trout eggs has 00 so far and the run of fish is ntendent E. W. Hunt of ery tes that three and n 7 till faf . Tahoe 1pe; a half million eggs have been taken. Ow- ing to the scarcity of water it has been decided that as soon as the number of the take reaches four milllon eggs this work The increase in the take will be s this year over that of all other years is attributed to the fact that Placer and El Dorado counties have passed local laws which prohibited the taking of trout un- til June 1, or two months' longer season than in the other counties of the State.

In fact, the Indians have been driven away from these waters altogether. Another important movement the Com- missioners decided upon was the resump- tion of the work of stocking the streams | of the State with black bass. Deputi Wilson and Cross will start out on this work at once and place these fish in all of the a ble streams where they will have any chance of living. Mark Hopkins Institute of Art.

BETTING IS NOW EQUAL Sharkey Has Taken a Very Sudden Rise in Pooling. Doubtless He Will Be a Favor- ite Before He Enters the Ring. The Purchasers of Tickets Must Be Carelul of Counter- feits. Tom Sharkey is as confident of de- feating Jim Jeffries this evening as is Admiral Sampson of defeating the na- val fighters of Spain. Sharkey said yesterday that when a meatch with Jeffries was first sug- gested he never expected to have an opportunity of meeting the man who is held by many expert judges of pugi- lism as being the superior of all the fighters, excepting the invincible Fitz- simmons. Regardless of the fact that Jeffries \J DREAMS I~ <T50CCESS OR FAIRE . Neveas P i respond when Woods called on her in the run home, and was led past the tape more than a length by Hildreth's good colt. La Goleta ran so well that she will bear watching in her future races. In her last two races Aprona has done nothing to warrant her having an out- | side chance in a bronco busting contest, and was allowed to go to the post at odds of 15 to 1 in the opening five furlong dash for maidens. With Rufus Narvaez up she led all the way, and in a hard drive ot the decision from the favorite, Rosa, f9"a Short head. Flandes came fast the last part and was placed third, although it looked as if Rose Maid finished in that position. Joe Mussle downed a bad lot in the seven furlong run next decided. He ruled a slight favorite over Millbrae in the bet- ting and won by half a dozen lengths. Zaralda took the place from the latter. The finale to the four furlong scramble for two-year-olds was a smashing_good one, resulting in a victory for the Burns & Waterhouse entry, Banewor, piloted by Johnny Woods. Canace was a 6 to choice throughout the betting. Banewor | broke first, but was almost immediately passed by both Owyhee and the favorite. When the scratch was reached McNieh- ols had the first choice in front, but fool- ishly drew his whip. Woods then passed him on the outside with Banewor, win- ning cleverly at the wire by less than a length, and he also was nosed out_ for the place by Owyhee, astride which Pig- gott put up a great ride. The mile and a furlong was a pickup for the 7 _to 10 favorite, San Marco. Piggott had the chestnut horse in front when the stretch was reached, and won galloping from the hard ridden Claudius. ~Metaire, at 40 to 1, dropped into the show. In the final six furlong sprint the 4 to 5 choice, Zamar, was beaten through the stupid riding of Liawson. With the race el in hand in the stretch, he came down the center of the track, which gave Mec- Donald, on the 3 to 1 shot, Miss Ross, an opportiinity to slip up on the inside and win cleverly by over a length. Perry got the 40 to 1 chance, imp. Mistral, home in the show. s i TRACK NOTES. 1t 15 now an assured fact that the great mare Fleur de Lis will not jourhey East this spring. Trainer Ab Stemler had the daughter of Maxim out on the track yesterday, and while galloping she broke down badly, and will now be shelved, Mike Hennessy, who rode Flandes in the opening event was positive that he won.

It Is to Be Waged With Mora Vigor Than Ever Before. James P. Dockery, chief food inspector, inaugurated a new campaign against the dealers in impure foods and milk yester- day. A lull in the fight for pure food was caused by a misapprehension of the re- cent decision in the Superior Court. Now that it is known that the pure food law is valid, and that it was only insufficiency of evidence that prevented a conviction in the case tried, Inspector Dockery pro- poses to wage a vigorous war on all who handle adulterated articles. About twelve inspectors will be put in the field. Some will look after foods and others after milk. Arrests will be made of all who sell adulterated or impure food. Samples of all Kinds of articles will be purchased, and no further warnings will be given the milkmen. It is probable that a raid will be made to-night on some of the milk wagons. e e Read the exciting adventures of a party of argonauts who have sailed 20,000 miles to search for Alaska’s gold; in next Sunday’s Call. ——————— Injured in a Collision. James A. Grant commenced suit yes- terday against the Market-street Railway Company to recover $5000 damages for personal injuries alleged to have been re- ceived on March 16 last while driving along Broadway in an_ express wagon. An electric car of the Broadway system ran into the team, and Grant was thrown from his seat, receiving severe bruises about the body and head. Grant claims that the accident was due to the careless- ness of the motorman. ———————— Bad Tea Destroyed. Twenty chests of condemned Chinese tea were put aboard the revenue steamer Hartley and dumped into the bay yester- day. It has been the custom heretofore to have all condemned teas burned in the Appraisers’ building, but the burning was very troublesome and consumed so much time that it was decided to destroy it by throwing it into the bay. 2 A S et and Sharkey are equally confident of victory the strangest feature in con- nection with the much looked for con- test between two marvelously able fel- lows is that the sports who are sup- posed to know a “thing or two” about pugilistic contests are about equally di- vided in their opinions. The only line that can be taken as an evidence of the sincerity of the con- testants to fight for the honor and emoluments at stake is the betting. Jeffries, who certainly should command the lead in the betting, with all things considered, sold a strong favorite from the time any wagering had been in- dulged in up to last evening, when a marked change took place. For the past week Sharkey was the under dog— that is so far as the gambling end of the game is concerned. He figured for a time as low as $7 when Jeffries sold freely at $10, but even at these figures the Sharkey men did not flood the market. In fact, very few bets were registered. Yesterday the Sharkev end took a sudden jump in the ascendency, and several large commissions were re- ceived at Crowley & Raggett's and at Corbett's pooirooms to be nlaced in front of the sailor's name. The order of betting changed immedijately, and Sharkey, boosted by his supporters, ran from 7 to 10 to even money, and at these figures the pool-sellers had large wads of Sharkey money when they closed shop. - Doubtless the Oakland sports will re- ply to-day with a large bag of coin, which may alter the order of betting somewhat and place Jeffries on the long end. | Notwithstanding the fact that even money was offered last evening in the auction pools, Jeffries sold a strong fa- vorite in the paris mutuels as the fol- lowing table will attest, viz: At 16 p. m.— Jeffries. Sharkey. 72 32 66 82 07 68 to ¥ soee 33 35 From 18 and over. .58 63 Of the men it can be said without the least fear of contradiction that Sharkey and Jeffries are in splendid condition to do battle for a nation, and the general belief is that the best man will win. : It is to be hoped that the best man will win and that the pemde s oy mm,__;_m...lung_nmnnn_gg_gfinmugnmnnnnqnnnfifnnnnuu der Greggains, will decide accordingly.

Sufficient to say, however that if an- other Fitsimmons-Sharkey episode will result then the sport of pugilism will receive its well merited downfall for all time. The managers of the National Club, Messrs. Groom and Gibbs, request that the purchasers of tickets will be care- ful not to accept any tickets from out- side parties, as the market is flooded with counterfeit tickets, which will not be honored at the entrance to the Pa- vilion. Agitator Kidney Dead. Willlam Kidney, an old-time local poli- ticlan and self-constituted agltator, died at the City and County Hospital yester- day afternoon. Kidney was arrested on Tuesday for drunkenness, and when taken to the Central Station showed symptoms of illness which brought about his re- moval to the Receiving Hospital. From there he was transferred to the City and County Hospital, where he died. His ill- ness was caused, it is said, by exposure. Kidney's first appearance in the political arena was on the sand lot in the palmy days of Denis Kearney. In some things he was well informed, but his peculiar method of imparting his information made him an unwelcome orator on the political rostrum. The Schooner Danislson Should Have Followed the Tug Better Than She Did. An interesting case, involving the lla~ bility of towboat owners, was decided by the Circuit Court of Appeals, when they held that Louis A. Pederson was not entitled to damages from the John D. Spreckels & Bros. Company for a broken leg. He was injured on board the schoon- er S. Danielson in Santa Barbara Chan- nel on December 1, 1%, while the ship was in tow of the tug Vigilant. The tug had been passed a line, one end of which had been brought through the breast chock, and from there was led to, the “pawl bit,” where it was made fast. The ship had been under tow for about twenty minutes when the chock broke, and Pederson, who was parceling tha line near the chock, was thrown against the capstan so violently that his leg was broken and he was otherwise injured. Ho sued the owners of the tug for damages, alleging that the tug had not been skill- fully handled, and that it was towing too fast. The decision was against him in the lower court, and the Court of Appeals has affirmed that ruling. Pederson was sec- ond mate of the ship. In deciding the case the court declares that the tug was properly handled and that the rate she was going was a safe one for towing. Testimony to show that the line was fc wrong bit, and ‘had it been aft, so as to tow in a straigh chock would not have carried It was also held that the vessel towed must keep in the wake of the tug towing, and this, it was declared, the testimony showed, 'had not been done. The com- plainant must prove negligence on the part of the tug, the court alleges, and this had not been done. In fact, the court announced as its opinion that the acci- dent was caused by the negligence of tne mate. —_———— CLASSIC DOGS TO COURSE. Two Stakes ofi!ighifiuality to Be Run at Ingleside.

At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Actors’ Fund of America, held in New York a few days since, the Aldrich percentage plan was adopted as the best plan that could be devised for the pur- pose of keeping the treasury of the fund in such condition as to meet the con- stant drain. After the plan was adopted a circular, stating the many worthy fea- tures of the fund, and a pledge to be signed by the various managers and actors throughout the country was sent out, reading as follows: Actors’ Fund of America—To the Board of Trustees: We pledge ourselves neither to give our theaters wit.out charge, nor our services as managers or actors for any benefits (ex- cept In case of national calamity or local pub- lic disaster) unless the recipients of said bene- fits shall agree to turn over 12 per cent of the gToss receipts thereof to the Actors’ Fund of America, to assist in its philanthropic work of caring for the sick and dead of the theatrical profession.

The “Passion Play” continues success- fully at the Baldwin every afternoon, be- ing displayed before the gaze of spec- tators that have grown steadily in size since the initial presentation. The per- fection of the animated pictures thrown upon the screen is such that not the le: important feature of the great produc- tion, as it is given at Oberammergau every ten vears, is missed and a person sees the various characters full of life, scenes of action and passing incidents in a most impressive manner. One of the scenes of the play that is particularly fine represents the placing of the crown of thorns upon Christ's head. Then the brutal guards press the cruel thing down upon the victim’s head until, as is m plainly seen, he falls forward in ago 0 be dragged along by the crowd.
