Sportsmen who enjoy a day on the marsh after ducks have been eagerly dis- cussing the date on which the open sea- son will end. The law reads: “Every per- son who, between the first day of Feb- ruary and the first day of October, kills or has in his possession,” etc. The mat- ter was submitted to Chief Deputy Charles A. Vogelsang of the State Board of Fish Commissioners. He said: “Under the ‘vording of the game and fish laws ducks may be killed until one- half hour after sundown on February 1. Game found In the possession of any- body on the morning of the 2d of Feb- ruary, however, will be confiscated. 1If, ou tell me, this subject is being dis- sed by gunmen I consider it a hopeful sign of an awacening of interest in game preservation. f sportsmen throughout the State will give the preserving of game a little of their attention for the remain- ing 364 days of the year no one will be- grudge them the extra day's shooting which they secure under the wording of the law.” The members of the Empire Gun Club will make ext:nsive improvements in their Monterey preserves for next sea- son. Ponds wil be formed and baited and better shooting is expected. At the beginning of this season all kinds of ducks were there, but they left in quest of feed Shaw of the yawl Idler r from a two weeks' duck- about Grand Prairie, Spoonbill Slough and Hon- | ey It OF RS FIELD THE CLEVEREST | FOR RE TRIALS.

Terry's cup is offered in the derby. If the champlon stake Is run a valu- able cup, offcred in 1601 by W. 8. Tevis, wiil be the prize. This cup was won in that year at Coronado by a representative of Mr. Tevis' kennels and was at once redonated to the club, The stake was not run at Santa Marla last year. The grounds over which the trials will be run have been carefully patrolled for months. Cover is abundant; is thought there is too much. This is pronounced a good fault, as last year the absence of cover was lamented by those in attendance. Birds are numerous, Af- ter the meeting visitors.can enjoy either duck or quail shooting. Hotel and livery accommodations will be adequate. Re- duced rates have been secured for visi- tors. Among the sportsmen known to be go- ing from this city to witness the trials are Secretary Albert Betz, W. W. Van Arsdale and party, Frank Maskey, Dr. C. W. Hibbard, J. M. Kilgarif, P. D.

The greyhound which wins will receive 60 per | cent of the prize money and the ner- Up 40 per cent. This will test the confi- dence of owners in the ability of their hounds. The stake is an innovation in coursin; Ed Walsh, owner of Sacramento Boy, offers to match his greyhound with any in California for any amount of money up to $1000, the match to be best three out of five trials. As the great young greyhound Northern Express, which defeated Sacra- mente Boy in the American Waterloo, will probably be brought to this coast shortly, a match may be arranged. The Eastern greyhound s owned by a million- aire sportsman of St. Louis Coursing men are allowing their young hounds to mature to a greater de- gree before r § them than they did | | in former years.

MacGavin has bes en Smith in a tournament, but th have always played close matches. Their last meeting furnished one of the interesting matches ever played club courts. The match between Whitney and Smith last Sunday, although flercely contested, most on the was far from being a brilllant one. Both were inclined to play a safe game. Mac avin plays a brilliant game and takes ny chances. His best work is done in the back court, his swift drives being ef- fective. Smith is rather weak in the back court, but plays a strong game at the net. Mz vin reached the final without having to extend himself at all, while Smith had to beat Allen, the park | champion, and then Whitney.
