Gcorgo Small and George Smith have Just
rotuincd from n WCOK'B chicken shoot out in
the vicinity of Lexington. Ttioy report
plenty of uirds , but say thut they have boon
hunted and shot also much by the pc&tivcrous
market hunter thattlioy me wilder than deer
nnd Hush three or four hundred yards in front
of the dogs oven. Once on the wiuir and they
continue until but a speck in the distance , or
fly on until out of sight altogether. Tlio birds
are also fully three weeks or u month earlier
than thov have boon known [ u this country for
years , that Is tlio birds uro stronger , fuller
grown und moro matured. Mr. Smnll snys
that ull the birds they saw. und they saw
thousands of thorn , were full grown
and in wonderful line condition.
The two guns , in five days
shooting. bugged only about ninety
birds , tlioro best day bolng twonty-six ,
which wns the last any they were out. They
also killed twonty.-suven blue wing teal on
this day , und ono mallard. They nro of tlio
opinion that the early duck shooting iu tlil&
stuto promises to bo moro satisfactory than it
has boon for sovvrul seasons. Tlioro wus
but liltla spring shooting tills year , and tlio
unusual ciop of birds left oyor have taken
every advantage of sin exceptional season for
nldlncatlon and raised largo and Interesting
families. Tliu gunnels are watching them us
they coino in every day , nnd In u few days
moro there will bo shooters on every stream
and marsh In tlio state , A llttlo cool weather
and a few pouring ruins will increase the
Ulght of toul u thousumi-fold , und , in fact , it
will bring iu wild fowl of nil kinds.
Another reason that the sports
man may expect uncommon line
early shooting this full is that throughout
Dakota there Is scarcely a drop of water.
The lakes ere very low , ana many of the
streams aro.perfectly dry. Consequently the
food is meagre and the birds will only stop
thera long enough to Una this out , when tlioy
will wing thotr way on down to Nebraska ,
wlieio tliero Is yet plenty of water und un
nbundnnco of food. This will glvo us a pro
longed season of snort. The teal
und Wilson snipe will furnish good
shooting fioni now on until .lack
Frost arrives to stay , then the widgeon , the
mallard , the pintail , the redhead ami the
canvusbuck will make it interesting for tlio
liuntor , Tha latter , however , will not prob
ably appear in very overwhelming numbers ,
us it is becoming scat cor und scarcer ovoiy
year , Iho cjuvasback is unquestionably
the premier niorccau of nil feathered game
the moat sought nf tor by epicures und gastro
nomic oxpcits , und consequently they uro
scarcer und harder to got than any other
ipeoitis. And then no wild fowl Is so didlcult
to bag as the canvauback. His eyes are
telescopic , and his velocity of wing is some
thing marvelous the fastest IIor known.
So shy have ttiuy become that it is u hard
matter now for the hunter to fool them with
decoy * . 'Ihey seek only deep water , und uro
off ut the BlU'lilest indication of danger.
There Is not n lazy llbro in his anatomy , and
tlio way ho leavts an ambitious hunter Is
( startling , Itioiiuirca u Potty , u Purmoleo ,
or n Kuowlcs to down u canvasback these
unys , but the writer has seen them Iu years
gene by , ut Koshkouong anil St. Clair , when
It was no trick ut all to make us good a bag
as ono can make theio dins of mallard *
on the finest grounds In tlio country ,
There uro also several localities in this
ttuto , notably about Drokim How ,
Lexington and Bancroft , where quail inay be
found this full in excluding plentitudo. Tlio
canon for tltls precious llttlo game bird , llko
t has been for chicken , has boon most
auspicious , und they have multiplied largely.
Then there is no finer sport than a day over
a brace of good dogs among tbo stubble after
quail , us ull iruo-sportsmon will corroborate.
Antclopo and doer hunters will be gratified
to loam that , for Nebraska , these beautiful
creatures uro moro plentiful than they have
been known for years. Parties from out
about Alliance , In Box Butte county.havo
seen unusual numbers of antelope this sum
mer , and further south , say fifty miles , both
white and black tail deer uro to bo found in
goodly numbers. Last winter was a favor-
nblo ono for door nnd many were loft over.
These have had a grand season for rearing
tholr young nnd tolerable good hunting maybe
bo looked for when tha season opens.
Gny fjlfo In Milwaukee.
Tobo Broacriek , known familiarly as the
driver of U Bet , has just distinguished him
self up in Milwaukoo. Ho wont tlioro a
couple weeks since from this city and organ
ized a fox hunting club similar to the late
clubs of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Ho
then got up u grand fox .chase , which waste
to have coma off nt the Milwaukee driving
park last Saturday afternoon. Tboro wns
$ GbO worth of paid admissions at tbo gate ,
and Tobo , with his pnclc of mongrel fox
hounds and three sickly foxes loft over from
the memorable Council Bluffs chase , was
on hand ready for the fray. Just as the old
Pennsylvania fossil , who Tobo had imported
us a veteran foxhuntor of th ? old schools and
who stood in with Tobo on the divy , was
about to sound his horn for the marshaling
of the chasers , the Milwaukee Humane So
ciety stopped in and forbade the chase , on
the grounds that it was cruelty to animals.
Tobo and the superannuated Pcno-
sylvnnlan help a hurried consulta
tion , and tbon , whllo Tobo argued
with the president of the Humane society ,
tolling him there was a premium of 2 on fox
scalps in Wisconsin , and that they hud a
legal vlcht to slay the animals , the old fossil
got out of the driving park and away with the
dogs. The spectators clamored for the chase ,
nnd tin ally , after u doluy of over an hour ,
which was umplo tlmo , for Tobo's partner to
got clear ; Tobo said ho would run the foxes
m doOanco of the Humana ducks , and ho ad
vised the crowd to remain patient whllo ho
wont after the dogs. Ilo hurried off , loft the
park , bonrdcd u cab anil was whirled to the
depot In tlmo to catch the 30 : ! train for Chi
cago. The liulo schema paid Tobo und his
partner lust $ OSO , but neither of thorn have
any further IIBQ for Milwaukee , and it will
probably bo many u day before they go up
tlioro to spend the summer.
Clancy KxnlutiiH It.
The smash that knocked Pat Killon out at
Frisco , last Wednesday night , also broke
Hob Clancy's heart. Hob Is a popular mom-
bur of the local press gang. Three yours a 20
ho was Killon's manager , and a great friend
ship sprung up between the two. Killon
thought Bob was tbo greatest manager on
curth , mid of course Hob thought that Killcu
was the greatest pugilist that over shied a
castor or stepped into u ring. Bob thought
Pat could knock a house out ; could whip his
weight In wildcats ; tackle u buzz saw or a
threshing machine , and oomo out on top. So
Bob christened Put the Terror of the North
west , and by that uwo-lnsplring cognomen
Put has boon known oyor since.
But Pat is u terror no longer , and Hob is
burled in sackcloth und nines. MoAullffo's
good right mauley did the business. U not
only dislocated Put's ] u\v und put him In a
somniferous mood , but U created dire per
turbation in Hob's thoracic region.
"Hello 1 Hob , " accosted TUB Her. man.
mooting Clancy iu front of the chamber of
( omuierco yesterday evening , "what's do
madder wld Killon I"
Hob's dove-IIUo eyes grow lachrymose , uud
swallowing a lump about tbo size of a geese
egg tbUt persisted in stopping up bU epi
glottis. ha exclaimed ;
"Adeodllukol"
"Ah , that won't do , Hob ; Killon didn't
uiuUo a ghost pf A light ho wasu't In it : the
wonder nf tliu coast made a monkey of mm.
I think Tommy Mlllor can lick him. "
"Oh , you dead uanio sporting cdltcis muVo
mo tlicd. You arc cntli ely too silky. 1 toll
you I wus dayed when I read the tolcaratn
announcing Pat's defeat. I couldn't believe
it I didn't wont to believe it. I know that
Pat had a pudding in McAulilTo nnd there
must bo some mistake. But there it was
Killon knocked out in the seycntn round 1"
'Well , how do you account for ill"
"Account for It , why , easy enough. Every
body knows that Killon has boon living an
ousy life since ho wont to'tho coast ; ho was
in no condition , couldn't have been , nnd
that's what did the business. That's the
way with old fighters , however. They are
never satisfied ; they think advancing years
and fast living cannot Impair their powers.
It is a mistake , but a common ono. Under
my management Put would have knocked
that California dub out with a punch. This
comes to me by a private loiter from a
'Frisco friend. Uoad it : "
The critics of boxing who have boon
across the ferry this week to see your
friend Killcn uro not so much impressed by
his method of training as by his natural
ability as a pugilist. Tiio critics are pleased
with his movements us ho appears when
punching thu bag , but there is a dark rumor
afloat that the grade of tea with which ho
slacks his burning thirst is too often above
proof to bo conducive to Hrst-class athletic
condition. Ueports from McAullffo's train
ing quarters , however , would indicate that
the local man has made up his mind not to bo
outdone in the matter of getting down to
conscientious naid work and into proper fix
for n hard , bruising lltrlit. Joe , llko his tall
rival from the breezy northwest , is said to
bo taking things ratlior easy. The directors
of the Golden Gate club have taken ofllcial
cognizance of these rumors and have author
ized a special committee of ono , consisting
of Secretary Jamieson , who is un eminent
authority on protracted temperance und Its
effects , to visit ICIUen and McAuliffa and sub
ject thorn to the crucial test of his profes
sional scrutiny.
An Old Orcus [ 1'luy.
Tlioro was a tltno In the history of the
game when base runners were often thrown
out at ilrst busro by rightlloldors on what
were apparently safe hits , but it is u rarity
indeed that such a play is ever scon those
days. Once this season , however ,
Canuvan throw a runner out on
what looked llko a clean bttso hit
to loft Held , n moro unusual and diftlcult
play than tbo other , but this won't ' occur
ugaln In a hundred games. Tno fuct that
right Holders do not accomplish this exploit
nny moro is not bccauso they are not as peed
Holders as there ever wcro.but bccauso tlioro
tins been u vast Improvement in base run
ning. Batters now uio ordered by tlio cup-
tain to run out every hit that is mudo , und a
player that does not obey this mandate Is
liublo to a heavy lino. If a grounder In hit
to the Inliold they try to boat it out , and if it
is u safe bit they make every effort to got to
first us soon as possible with the hope of
being able to make second on it. It Is this
hustling move the base runner gets qn him
self tlieso daysthat prevents the right Holder
from making a circus put-out at first. The
best right fielder the diamond ever know
cannot throw a man out ut first on what
should bo u sufo hit , if the batter can run at
all. It is u play of the old slow days , und
will seldom bo soon upon iho bull Hold again ,

George Washington Bradley , Sioux City's
third basomun , is u splendid examine ! to
young players of the benefit of strict ab
stemiousness nnd good hours. Old Brad , in
Ills palmiest days as a ball-player , nnd ho

Wants a Kennel Club.
FuLLEKTOtf , Nance Co. , 'Nob. , Sept. 11.
To the Sporting Editor of .Tiiu Bnu : I no
ticed with much pleasure the article in your
issue of the 1st | nst. , referring to a proposed
bench show , to bo hold this full in Omaha ,
under the auspices of the American Kennel
club. This Is a move in the right direction.
Shows such as wo were treated to last
spring , gotten up by private parties for their
own benefit , are worse than useless , as they
fail to Inspire confidence amoug the bettor
class of our , owners nnd breeders.
The consequence was that very many
of our best dogs wcro not put for
ward and the few who did exhibit loft the
show , as a rule , disgusted with the whole af
fair. I foci sure thut ; tub gentleman men
tioned byou , Mr. Meldrum , Is the right
man in the right place , Ilo was born nnd
brought up In the homo and birthplace of
practically every dog that appeals to the
sympathies of sporting men andofllciatcd for
years us judgn ut ull the leading shows in
England , which experience places him
"fucllo preeous" as iho loading man to con
uuct u show of this kind , I understand
thut Mr. Meldrum is already In communica
tion with the American Kennel club und
hopes shortly to bo ublo to announce that an
Omuhu Kennel club.afllllatcd with and under
the American Kennel club , will shortly bo
un accomplished fact.
I write this in u purnly disinterested spirit
as u lover of dogs anil I know I represent the
footings of a largo niimbor ( it functors in this
part of the country. Trusting to near moio
