The E ark Alam anchored at the head of the slough, furnishes comfortable quarters for the gunners. The club will be quite content if the coming ason is s good as was the last, and, though it is too early to speak witn certainty, it may be said that the prospects are fair. The Mira Monte Gun Club has 10,000 acres of uoland and 2000 acres of marsh near Burdells, Marin County. It has a handsome and very roomy club house, with a frontage of 134 feet, and containing a living-room, with a large open firepiace, & dining room, kitchen, pantries, twelve bedrooms, two bathrooms and a billlard room. The club owns three oline launches and half a dozen row boats. The following are the officers: President, J. B. Burdell; secretary and treasurer, N. N. Wilson; directors—the president, sec- retary, J. H. Follis, G. A. Martin and H. B, Houghton. g The Olympic Gun Club has grounds at Ingleside, and has just concluded a very successful trap shooting season. On Pet- aluma Creek it has 30,000 acres of marsh where for the past six weeks a keeper has been employed in baiting the ponds. THc flight of the northern birds has not yet begun, but there are plenty of mallard and sprig, which breed on the marshes. If we should have, as may reasonably be expected, an early and wet winter, the Olympic ' gunners ~ will enjoy plenty of sport. The club formerly occupied rooms at 1308 Van Ness avenue, but will soon hold & formal house warming in its new and handsome quarters at the corner of Morton and Kearny streets. On the Pet- aluma Creek tne club has a dormitory accommodating twenty-five members, and there is also a handsome priv ark. The following are th 1895 President, Harlow cording and corresponding Merton C. Allen; financial secret Halght; treasurer, A. A. Borlini} tors—W. J. Golcher, B. T. Allen, C. Hibbard and C. F. Grant. The O Gun Club has 140 members. The Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club hunts over the Morse, Stinson and Throckmor- ton ranches in Marin County, between Point Bonita and Mill Valley. During the ast season seventeen bucks were Kkilled y the members, being two more than were run down in 189/ and eight fewer than in 1895. The club, which is limited to forty, has at present thirty contribut- ing members. President Otto Muser re- orts that the fishing has been fair dur- ng the past winter and spring, and that the creek is full of small fish. which romise good sport next season. The out- look for quail hunting is very favorable; the birds have bred well and large bevies are to be seen. During the past season many re trapped and transferred, guall but the president considers that the money spent thus was wasted.

ALL ABOUT DOGS .AND THEIR OWNERS On Wednesday, last the convention of dog clubs of July 27 was reconvened at the Occidental Hotel by Dr. F. W.D'Eve- lyn, who signed the call as ‘‘chairman of preliminary meeting,” the object of the meeting being for the purpose of “taking such action as may be deemed advisable for the best interests of Pacific Coast dogdom.” H. T. Payne and John E. Doak were again to the fore with some half- dozen proxies each. It was a Payne meeting from start to finish. The delegates were: J. P. Norman for Pacific Mastiff Club, G. W. Debenham for Fox Terrier Club, R. J. Stewart for Col- i lie Club, C. R. Harker and P. Ward for San Jose Kennel Club, Dr. D’Evelyn ugi J. G. Barker for San Francisco, M. Cof- fey for Sacramento, C. R. White for Oak- land, and H. T. Payne and John E. Doak for_four other clubs. The proceedings opened with a debate on the character of the meeting, J. P. Norman refusing to act as secretary on the ground that the meeting at which he had served in that capacity had accom- plished its purpose and had no further raison d' etre. J. C. Barker of the San Francisco Kennel Club subported this view. H. T. Payne, however, moved that the meeting resolve itself into a continu- ation of the former convention. This motion was carried, and C, R. Harker, who had been elected secretary pro te: vacated the seat in favor of Mr. Norman. Mr. Payne controlled the meeting with his proxies, and on taking a vote seces- sion wgs carried by a vote of 11 to 4. The delegafes of the Ban Francisco Kennel Club refused to vote, haviag received no instructions, but nevertheless it wg plainly indicated by, them and by J. T, .l?aa'na -Champion Countess deRuyter, thelr vice prestdent, who was present, that the local club 1s deadset against secession. The Pacific Mastif, 'ox Terrier and Oakland clubs voted against the resolution, and their delegates withdrew from further part in the pro- ceedings. H. T. Payne nominated Dr. D'Evelyn for president, Marshall P. Snell of Ta- coma for vice president, C. R. Harker for secretary-treaéurer, and seconded N. J. Stewart and M. Coffey for the other vice presidents. These gentlemen were con- se'}uently elected.

The Guerneville Improvement Club is sparing no pains to make the event a success, and the oarsmen of San Fran- cisco have responded enthusiastically to their invitation. The course is one and a quarter miles straightaway, and from the level banks of the river every incident of the races can be.clearly seen. The river has been dammed up and forms a sheet of water known as Bohemian Lake: hard by are the noble redwoods of Bohemian Grove. y : As it was expected that the champion- ship regatta would be held toward the close of October, several large crews and skiff men are already in good pru’;lrcxe and glad of the opportunity to race. o Olyn;‘plc Boat Club would like to send a crew, but as their boathouse is at Tiburon the members cannot practice on any day except Sunday; if they can obtain per- 'a barge belonging to any other club, a four will be got together. It will probably consist of Julius Morton, H. Collins, Frank Grim and Paul Sturde- vant; H. Herzer will not be available, as he starts on his vacation to-day and will not return for two weeks. The Olympics hope also to enter a crew at the cham- pionship regatta. A meeting will be heid next Tuesday to discuss this and other rowing matters. Thegsauth End Rowing Club will send a barge crew and some single scullers to Guerneville, and will have a senior and junior barge crews in the chnmplonshig regatta. Dr. C. C. Dennis, M. Breen an J. Lyons are going out frequently fn #kiffs; V. Koster and G. Bates will prob- ably enter the junior skiff.event at the Long Bridge regatta. A performance will be given at Union Square Hall on Saturday evening, Octo- ber 8, for the benefit of tHe parents of the late Daniel D. Connolly, a well-known and highly esteemed member of the South End Rowing Club. El Dorado Parlor No. 5. G. ++e+ 4+t + + - + + + + + 82, N. S.

Caglieri will enter the swim- ming races. The Dolphin intermediate blarga crew is keeping up its regular prac- tice, The Tritons,; who do a good deal of rowing during the winter, are having all their boats put in order. Though they have joined the association they will not enter any barge crew for the champion- ship regatta; they may possibly enter a skiff-man. The Pioneers have two crews in train- ing, and will send their junior barge crew to Guerneville. C. Ochs_will pull in the skiff race on Bohemian Lake, and many members will attend; two tents ve been engaged already. George Callopy has re- turned from the Klondike, and is expect- ed to reach this city in a few da he will pull either in the intermediate barge crew or in the championship junior skiff event. The Pioneer men who are to take part in the Guerneville resa.ttn, will go up either on Friday night, October 14, or on Saturday morning, October 15. The Alameda Boat Club, at its last meeting decided to take part in the Guerneville regatta, to which it will send a barge crew and skiff-men. Many of the members will attend. It was also decided to buy pleasure boats for the use of mem- bers. ‘here is much activity around the clubhouse, especially on moonlight nights. George Hagy was elected 2 member at the last meeting. The Alameda junior four is made up thus: Chester Ayers, bow; Bert Guild, No. 2; D. Greenleaf, No. 3, and E. Hunter, stroke. J. O'Connell and Archie Taylor of the Ariels met with a mishap last Sunda; they were rowing in a pair-oared shel one of the oars snapped and over went the boat; the{1 were in the water for a quarter of an hour before a Pioneer barge crew picked them up. F. ilson . and John Fickert are regularly training for the chsmmonshlr regatta. G. Phelan and C. Sternberg will represent the Ariels in the skiff race at Guerneville. There will be a tryout to-morrow between the Wil- son and the Lynch barge crews; the win- ners will be tried against another crew on Sunday, October 9.

This race offers more attractions to the individual wheelmen than a team race. In the team race, such as the 100-mile relay and the twenty mile, each man shares the glory with the other members of the team if his club wins the race, and there is con- siderable espirit de corps manifested; but in the twenty-five mile and the ten mile there is a chance for him to win a val- uable prize for himself, such as a gold watch, a diamond and many other arti- cles of lesser value, Hence, the twenty- five mile in February and the ten mile to be run Sunday week attract the great- erEm}u:ber ll)f rldelis.h - ntries close wit! .

O O S et A few weeks ahead of the chrysanthe- mums the football season will be ush- ered in this afternoon when the Olym- pics line up against the eleven wearing the blue and gold stripes. It will be the first game since the intercollegiate match of Thanksgiving day, 1807, and the enthu- siasts have been waiting for it with im- patience. Whether it will be good or bad football does not matter as long as it is football. It is not likely that the game will show the latter day perfection, but it will be a contest worthy .of the seeing. The Ofympics took their first practice last Monday on the Recreatl Grounds, Eighth and Harrison streets, where the game will be played to-day. About sev~ enteen men turned out-and t inary work was begun. On acc the scarcity of men the Olympic ttet+ e +t++tt will not have a second eleven for daily practice, but this is really not a hardship as it at first seems. The Olympics are with very few exceptions all traincd players who have fought on the line shoulder to shoulder. As far as defensive work goes the Olympic athletes are not in a serious condition at present. Later on when the college men improve their play are steadally advancing to the perfection of their Thanksgiving day form the Olym- pics will be handicapped by this lack of active practice. The offensive work will be a matter of signal practice and the execution of plays without opposition. On the Berkeley campus a new system of training and preparation has been in- stituted by Coach Cochran. He allows the men to smoke and to take an occa- sional stimulant, deeming it wise not to restrict them to a rgid course of training at this early day. He thinks that the defeat of Princeton with its_ sup- osed invincible team at the hands of ale last year was due to a premature training and a consequent going stale of the team. The Californians line up for active practice, but no one man is kept in position for any length of time. Coch- ran’s coaching 18 a pleasure to watch. One has only to see him in action for five minutes to appreciate the greatness of his football intelligence. His eye is as sharp as the edge of a knife, and there is hardly a detail of the practice which he does not grasp. He seems to Know just how each man conducts himself in every play. One thing is noticeable about his coaching, and that is a freedom from profanity. The greatest blow to the blue and gold eleven is the withdrawal of Cadwalader from the ranks. It is hopéd that he will reconsider his intention not to play with California this year and don the grid- iron moleskin. The rule which the big Eastern colleges have adopted which pro- hibits a man from playing with a coliege eleven unless he has been a year in the university prior to the b nning of the season is what is assigned by Cadwalader as his reason for not playing with Cali-~ fornia. He intends to return to Yale next year, and it he played here this season that’ would prevent his playing in the fale team of 1899. % lThe Olympic team that will line up this afternoon will be a very heavy one. There is some doubt about Hobbs playing cen- ter. Counting him out of the line-up Ward or Bandy will play center. W ard is the lighter of the two, weighing in the neighborhood of 185 pounds. Bandy 18 a man of glgantic proportions, tipping the scale at 0. Smith, the best left guard on the coast, will play his old position. Middlemas, who has shown up well dur- ing the games of the last two years un y standards, W der the Olympic st e three tackle positions will be distributed among Billy Sexton, Erskine and Nelson. Sex- ton will_play left tackle and her Ers- kine or Nelson right tackle and perhaps both. Fletcher McNutt, who layed right end for the University of California eleven under Butterworth’s coaching, will guard the right end of the Olympic line, Tausig will play the other end position. Back of the line the Olympics will have some new and some old piyers. If Code can by any possibility turn out on the field he will play quarter; otherwise Roy Weldon, the former fullback, will appear in his place. Weldon, who is by no means a lght man, will play quarter because the Olympic material is all of a heavier o der. Joyce, who played half on the Low- ell High School team, wllldplay half or end. heehy, the big guard who is re- puted the best on the coast, will have to Play back of the line. He will be found n the line-up as left Malf, a new position for him. ng will play right half. If Code plays quarter, Weldon will go to full, otherwise De Ballister or Atkinson or King will play full and Joyce haif. During the week both Morse and Code were out on the fleld coaching the Olym- pics, who are rapidly getting into shape. Greisberg will play center for California. He E;?yed the position Qilfl{ in the season of 1 and was a success for a time, but he was switched to halfback later on, a position which was not to his ability. For guards the blue and gold eleven w?l'l have some new men, drawn from _the freshman class. Hooper, who played on last year’s team, will appear on the fleld to-day as right guard and Alberton, a new man, as left guard. For tackles there will be Atherton on the right side of the line and Webster on the left. Craig and Whipple, who have played ends on the team in other seasons, will hold down the right and left extremities respectively Hopper, whom Cochran has been training as quarter all' season, will play in that position to-day. Thane and Hall will bs the backs and Kaarsberg full. The game will commence at 3:30. If Harry P. Cross, the Yale coach engaged be' Stanford, arrives toonight he will om- ciate in the game to-day. The line-up will be as follows: Position. center.. Hobbs, Otymples. Ward, Bandy right guard dlemas eft guard -Smith (capt.) right tack rekine, Nelson -Sexton McNutt .Tausig, Joyee “Weldon, Code -King, Joyce back Sheehy Kaarsberg.. ull back. Weldon, De Ballister A Remarkable Case. The following case was printed original- ly in the Monitor, a newspaper published at Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as to its truthfulness, consequently a close watch was kept on the case for two years, and the original statement has now been completely verified. Mr. Petch had been a hopeless paralytle for five years. His case has had wide at- tention. He was confined to his bed, was bloated almost beyond recognition and could not take solid food. Doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life Association, after a thorough exami- nation, paid him his total disability claim of $1650, regarding him as forever incur- able. For three years he lingered in this con- (‘imon. AL er taking some of Dr., Pink _ Pills for Pale People there was a slight change, a tendency to sweat free- lIy. Next came a lit- tle feeling in his limbs. This ex- tended, fol- lowed by a pricking sen- sation, until & Paid His Claim. at last the blood began to cmse freely and vigorously through his . Soon he was restored to his old-time health. A rteporter for the Monitor recentl called on Mr. Petch again, and was told: “You mbney say there 1sLnln rlnu‘!x)‘t :.s‘to my cure permanent am etter health mm'%% gave on the first in- n) terview, cel atiribute my cure to Dr. Ifams’ Pink “Pills for Pale People.

In the face of such testimony, can one say that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not en- titled to the careful consideration of every sufferer—man, woman or child?
