The Country Club's Annual Pigeon
Shoot at Monterey.
rV--
A Contest for the Trophy Between Teams
Won by the Reds— A Fly-Hasting Tour
nament for Next Season.
The Country Club returned yesterday
from Monterey, where it held its second an
nual tournament and high jinks.
The shooting was begun on Saturday last,
and continued throughout toe day, with the
exception of an intermission of one hour,
which was devoted to luncheon.
The birds, with the exception of a few
squabs, were a good lot and started rapidly
from the traps, generally striking a direct
line across the field from the shooter.
Frier to intermission the sun shone down
in all its brilliancy on the shooters, pro
ducing a haze between the gun and traps,
which very materially assisted to defeat the
aim of sight on the birds, especially those
of dark color.
During the afternoon a refreshing breeze
I rafted in from the ocean, cooling the at
-111. sphere here and making buoyant the
heart.-* of the sportsmen ho had been shoot
ing bad in the forenoon.
As previously stated in The Cam., teams
if- twelve men a side were chosen from
anion- the clu'i members, designated as
'Reds" and "Blues," which, according to
agreement, entered into a contest of twen
ty-lour birds per man.
A. SLIGHT MISTAKE.
After shooting some hours the sportsmen
discovered that they had made a mistake
by not having arranged three divisions In.
ste id of two of the contestants, as the delay
between ".-hots" was so drawn out that it
became monotonous to a good many who
were uot accustomed to long delays at the
traps.
The very excellent puns perpetrated by
Kittle, Downey, Harvey. Tubus and a few
others vi the members who are the recog
nized wits of the club helped materially to
enliven matters "en the bench" while
awaiting the order of the referee to face tbo
traps.
Mr. Adams, "the lone fisherman," was
rue if the few who seemed perfectly satis
fied to linger under the shade of the green
wood tree until such time as he was ordered
out to take up arms in defense of the "red
men." The old gentleman shot exceedingly
well, considering the limited practice lie
lias had this season on tailors, drivers and
qiiarterers.
F. L. Bosqui shot like an old veteran.
lie killed his birds clean, although several
times bo found it necessary to press the
left trigger so as to keep the feathers from
taking the meat out ot bounds.
NOT IN 111-* USUAL FORM.
Kittle, who is probably one of the bes t
field shots in the State, did not shoot
as well as he expected. He was annoyed
with a headache, which very materially
lessened his chances of giving Bosqui a
close run for first honors in the club shoot.
Toward evening he did remarkably well,
cutting down the flight of several swift.
going birds in grand style.
Murdock, whose name is familiar to all
local sportsmen, who shoot on marsh and
field, was somewhat unfortunate in getting
difficult birds to hit. Prior to luncheon he
retired from the field with a clean score to
his edit, but during the second series he
wounded his sixth rd badly with the
first barrel, aud failed ou the second
-to land it within the color line. This some
r"<_,»t unnerved him, and he broke again ou
the eighth bird, which packed a number of
pellets out of bounds, lie failed in the last
p.*. attempts to score "dead birds."
Douohoe astonished his friends by the
very good shooting he had done. Several
of his birds were, to use a sportsman's
rasp, cross-shots, and the manner in
which lie stopped them with the first barrel
generally brought forth encomiums from the
spectators.
Wooster did tolerably good shooting, con
sidering that his practice has been limited
this season.
WITH HI- SECOND BARB) 1..
Worden used very good judgment and
made - me remarkably long shots with his
second barrel.
Tallant killed his first twelve clear, but
likes me other of the club members, who
had joyed a heavy luncheon, he broke on
the second string missing his fourth and
ninth birds.
Woodward kept up his record for good
average shooting, making some very pretty
kiils.
Wilson for some reason or other fell be
hind his general average. He is noted as
being a first-class quail shot and at a pigeon
shoot he seldom retires with a score of less
than ten lo nis credit
Spraguo made good shooting in the early
Dart of the day, but toward evening he fell
away owing, as Kittle remarked, "to too"
heated barrels.
The Tubbs brothers who are probably
greater adepts with the rod than the gun
did not shoot uo to their old form. They
attribute their bad fortune to nervousness
and prostration caused by strenuous en
deavors to extinguish a slight conflagration
which was occasioned by the thoughtless
ness of some young smoker who had tossed
a lighted cigarette on the dry grass in close
proximity to the lunch tables.
GENERALLY SATISFACTOBY.
♦''As a whole the shouting was tolerably
good, and gave general Batista to the
members and guests who had the pleasure
<.: viewing the contests.
The President, F. It. Webster, whose un
tiring efforts 10 make the affair a grand suc
cess, which unquestionably it was, pro
poses to add still further attractions on the
next annual outing of the club for the pleas
ure of the occasion.
The clnb, as previously stated in The
Call, was organized solely for tbe amuse
ment that is to be had from shouting and
fishing. The latter pastime has been to
E me .wen. neglected, notwithstanding the
fact that a large representation of the club
are thorough Waltoniaus. Next August
these gentlemen of the Country Club who
are adepts at fly-casting will have an op
p3itunity of testing their skill on a beauti
ful lake which is within easy reach of the
hotel.
it ill be the first annual fly-casting tour
nament that has ever taken place on this
Coast, and, under the management of the
officers who so ably presided over the pres
ent outing, it. can be said, without any fear
of contradiction, that it will prove not alone
a success but a grand addition to the club's
present system of enjoying a summer recre
ation.

A Lecture on lionds.
Mrs. Mary Lynde Hoffman, Treasurer of
the Women's l'ress Association, at a meet
ing of the association at Union-square
Hall, delivered an address on "County
ltoads and City Streets," during the course
of which she gave a condensed history of
such thoroughfares and their influence on
the civilization and progress of a country,
and drawing a comparison between those
built by the Governments of olden times
and those of the present age. The inference
to be drawn from her remarks is that roads
should be built by .State governments and
streets by municipal authorities, and they
should be made good and kept in the same
condition. Her argument was that good
roads and streets improve property and
make it valuable. She held up to ridicule
the counterfeit macadam road of this coun
try as compared with the same kind of
road in the old country. She thought that
the building of trucks and the weight that
should be allowed to rest on each wheel
should be regulated by law.
Astride of nil Opaet Etos——
On the 5 o'clock trip of the terry steamer
Newark from this city yesterday and when
near Goat Island, two men were picked up
astride of a Whitehall boat, which had been
upset. They were nearly exhausted. having
been on the bottom of the boat over due
hour. . They were taken into the engine
room, where their clothes were dried, and
on the next trip were landed at Oakland,
where they belonged. How the accident
occurred or what ttie names of .the rescued
are could not be learned.
Suicidal or Accidental?
Ah Gung, a seedy-looking Chinese, was
found in a room in a Waverly-place rookery
yesterday afternoon sufferiug from opium
poisoning. He was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, and an examination showed that
there was little hope saving his lite. Some
of (lung's friends said that he had been
very despondent, because he had been out
of work and had taken the poison with
suicidal intent. Others said that he took
the dose accidentally. Gang died at o o'clock
in the evening.
Fire In _ Itroom Factory.
At C o'clock last evening an alarm was
turned in from Box 26 for a fire in T. Dit
tenhoeler's broom factory and notion store
nt 400 and 408 Clay street. The building, a
3-story brick, was tilled throughout wit
brooms, wood aud willow ware. More dam
age was done to the stock by water than by
fire, the total loss being placed at .10,000,
but a full insurance secures the proprietors
from loss. The origin of the fire is as yet
unknown.
The Fire Jl-11.
A defective range started a fire on the
third floor of the Chinese lodging-house at
808 Sacramento street at 2:4.1 o'clock yester
day morning, and an al inn was turned in
from Box 2!14. The store of Sing Kee & Co..
underneath, was damaged to the extent of
81000, and the loss to the building amounted

The Unknown Suicide at Laundry Farm.
Foßtcffice Building— From
Death of a Family.
A daring robbery was perpetrated at mid
night on Sunday at the power-house of
the Oakland and Berkeley Rapid .Transit
Company at Forty-seventh street. The
receiver of the company, George White,
was alone at the cashier's desk counting
nickels and dimes and putting them up in
rolls, when he was suddenly confronted
by two men with handkerchiefs tied over
the lower part of their faces, from the eyes
down. With drawn revolvers they de
manded everything that was there and
ordered him not to make a sound. One of
them transferred the money in the till to
his pocket and White was then ordered to
go into the other room aud open the safe,
which he did.
While in there a conductor named Robin
son came in, but one of the robbers pointed
a pistol at him and commanded him to go
down tho track leading to the interior of the
power-house, where the cars are kept, to tlio
room where the conductors and motor-men
gather, aud followed him, standing guard
over him and two others who were in there
wailing for the last car, while his chum had
White open the safe. The fellow at the
safe transferred all lho loose money he
could find in the safe to bis pockets, ana,
forcing some little drawers, also took some
small change belonging to the day clerk.
Noticing a burglar-proof box in tho lower
corner of the safe, lie ordered White to op n
it. but as White did not have the combina
tion, whicli is kept by the Superintendent,
he told him he could not open it
The fellow on the outside made sugges
tion through the window tiiat lie hit him
over the bead, but White replied that they
would have to "kill him, for he could not
open It. They then inarched White out
across Grove street and half a block up
Forty-seventh street toward T. mescal, and,
turning him around facing the power-house,
told him to remain there until they were
away, for they would shoot him if heat
tempted to give any alarm, ne remained
two or three minutes and went back to the
car-house, where ho found the conductors
in the room where they had been left.
There was no weapon of any kind about the
place. Telephone messages were sent, hut
no officers could be aroused at that hour.
The car conductor that camo in on .Shat
tuck avenue from Berkeley a few minutes
after reported having seen two fellows go
ing up the avenue toward B-rkeley. BO
clew could be obtained of the men yester
day, One was tall, apparently, well-dressed,
with white hands, while the other was
thick-set and rather indifferently dressed.
THAT UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
A letter was received yesterday by Coro
ner Evers from a man who called with his
wife to see the hat, parasol and other effects
of the young woman who committed suicide
in July at Laundry Farm. The things were
identified almost positively by her as belong
ing to a Swedish servant girl who bad
worked for them; but for some cause, al
though the other effects of the suicide re
main in the room iv San Francisco, where
she left them, they still refrained nnd re
fused to give her naiuo to the Coroner, so
tnat he could make some entry of it instead
of allowing it to remain as unknown dead.
Mi. Eveis was becoming impatient about
the matter and went to San Francisco a few
days ago, ascertaining that the effects re
main as before and the man still refusing
to give the suicide's name. Yesterday the
Coroner received the following letter:
Dear Sir: 1 think 1 can DOW state conclusively
that Hie gill who shot hei self at Laundry farm
Is not llie one we supposed Her to lie. The girl

THE POSTOFFICE BUILDING.
It was rumored that the negotiations had
li?eu closed yesterday between the Govern
ment and the owners of the building on tbo
Seventeenth-street end of the gore block
bounded by Telegraph avenue and New
Broadway, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets, with the base of the triangle
on Seventeenth, for the removal of tne Post
office in that place on December Ist. Tho
lease of the present quarters in the Park
House Block on Fourteenth street, opposite
the City Ball Park, will expire on Novem
ber until, and the agent of the building
thought that successful negotiations were in
progress leading to a new lease of the build
ing. Postmaster Bishop has not yet been
notified of any change of location, though
he is aware of the negotiations.
The business men have protested against
a removal to Seventeenth street as out of
the way, but the city is growing toward and
beyond the chosen location, and it may not
be many years before it will be wanted
fuitlier out. The present location is much
inoie convenient for the merchants at this
time than that to which it is said to be the
purpose to remove.

mar to recover SloOO, out of which, she al

THEY ESCAPED DEATH.
Manuel Brown, a Portuguese farmer, re
siding near San Lorenzo, started yesterday
morning to go to San Francisco with Ins
wile and two-year- .Id child in a wagon, via
the creek boat. He attempted to cross the
railroad tracks at First street and Broadway
in the rear of the San Jose train from the
pier, and did not sco the Alameda local ap
proaching from Franklin s<reet toward the
pier. The engine struck the horse, and
threw it on to one side of the pilot, with
the wagon on the oilier. Mrs. Brown and
the child were thrown out and were ouly
slightly hurt. Brown was caught and
dragged some distance. He had some cuts
on his head and was unconscious", but
finally recovered aud inquired for his wife
and child. They were all taken to the. K»
ceiving Hospital, and after their injuries
were attended to they .jvere found to be not
seriously hurt. The horse was killed and
the wagon demolished.
John A. Sands has been appointed City
Superintendent of Schools, vice Ur. C. M.
Fisher, resigned. F. A. Heveus, who was
at first appointed to succeed Dr. Fisher, de
clined the position.
OSL. A "SENSATION."
An attempt was made yesterday afternoon
to make a sensation out of the fact that J.
G. Howell, the man who shot Colvin, is suf
fering a slight indisposition at the County
Jail on acconnt of having taken a cold. An
item of about a dozen lines, with a head as
long as tlio item, tells a story that "it is
among the possibilities that Howell will not
live to meet his trial, if it is not begun at an
eariy date." Howell's illness is of so insig
nificant a nature that he says he does not
need a doctor, and that his wife's remedies
will cure him in a day or two. He is as
cheerful as he was on the day after the
shooting, and has no more fear, apparently,
of the result of his trial than if the charge
was one of the most trivial.
The will of F. I). Arff, late of Mount
Eden, Alameda County, was filed for pro

About 9 o'clock last night tHe two men
vi ho, .on Sunday night, robbed the
office of the Oakland and Berkeley
Rapid Transit Company at Forty-seventh
street stepped into tlio ofiice of the Log
Cabin Bakcty, at Thirtieth street
and San Pablo avenue, and with drawn re
volvers held three men at bay while one of
them with a lama chisel pried open the
drawer of the till and took out SJSO.
They then went through the three men,
taking a fine gold watch from one and some
small change from tho other. They com
manded them to remain within, threatening
to shoot them should they come out. When
tlio bakers did venture out the robbers
were nowhere to be seen. The two men
answered the description of the robbers of
Sunday night. They were bolder, how
ever, than on their first exploit.
The tall man had nothing over his face
and wore a black mustache. The short
man held a handkerchief up to his face with
his left hand and manipulated the pistol
with his right, lie stood guard while the
taller emptied the till. The police were im
mediately notified and started out to the lo
cality. The large carpenter chisel with
which the till was pried open was brought
in to the City Hall.

At the meeting of the City Council last

ment of bills for the year closed by repeal
ing several unused appropriations, as the

dence square, for the building of engine
houses, etc. These appropriations may
again be made out of the current year's
funds. It w»s decided to pass again the

tion booths, notwithstanding the Auditor's
objections. The printing bills for the an
nexation election, amounting to S3OOO, wero
also ordered paid. The niinio of G. Will
iams of Twenty-third avenue was ordered

A report was received from the City At
