OOR ahcotlng has been tbo rule this spring , for notwlih- standing the almost unnnlmous expecta tion nmong sports men for grent sport 1 among wild f owl thU spring , nnd not withstanding the fact thnt nil tbe con- dltloni plenty ot wntor , good food i blustery wenth- or pointed to n ful filment of these , 'j ' ) hopes , the shooting hns been poorer than for many seasons pa.tt , in fact wns next to a complete nnd'nbsoluto failure. To bo sura the birds have not nil gene yet , nnd there iniy be tolerable sport iu the mnrshes fo- two weeks yet , still the fact remains thai the period supposed to embody the height of the oason Iu this latitude has elapse J , and tbo ar dent gunner has had , In a great measure , only bli dreamt , Instead of roast mallard or canvasbnck , to feed upon. To bo sure some of the most favored have been fortunate enough to mnko fairly good bags , but these have only fallen to these who could spare the llmo to co forth , pitch their tents , nnd patiently wait n illghlthnl justified the name. Bportstncn who could composedly take up their abode adjacent , to some favorite using" grounds , und remain there dny In and dny out , until the glorious opportunity cntno , were nil right , and bad n good deal of Spasmodic shooting with Its attendant ox- bliaratlng enjoyment. But the gunner who wns enabled to got out only for ono or two days , Fouorally had his Inbor aud expense Tor bis pains , nnd the preponderance of those actually returned without n bird to nttost lo Ihoir prowess ns hunters nnd their dexterity Vith the hnmmerless. It wns tbo same with geese nnd ducks alike , the spring shooting hns been nn incon tinent disappointment. Tbo Icgendnry Pintle , famed from time Immemorial ns the most wonderful wild goose grounds in the world , xvns never visited by such hordes of gunners. But there remains but ono story to loll , nineteen oul of every twenty returned to their Qomlclllums In city , town or country , Wrathful , disappointed and gooselotsl Now , nil thlt points to but ouo thing , nnd that Is that wild fowl shooting iu the spring time must cease , or year by year the sport will grow poorer nnd poorer , until finully the birds will almost entirely disappear from their wonted haunts. The wild pigeona moro prolific came bird n million times .over than the wild duck over was , bns boon utterly exterminated. That hould teach a lesson to every honest and conscientious sportsman. The ducks nnd fcoeso , with the all year round ruthless Slaughter , such as is practiced hero , will so far as our local waters and feeding crounds lire concerned , go the same way. That is in evitable. Tbo spring shooting , moro than nny other season's work , is telling with terrible effect upon the birds. Every succeeding spring , to the observant and solicitous sportsman , this decrease becomes moro aud more notiooable , and Icuder and louder Is tbo call for succor bt the bauds of the Inw makers. I , myself , probably do ns much shooting ns tbo majority of sportsmen In Omaha , and tbo question might ivnll bo asked. Why do I Indulge in these spring forays ! My answer is , simply because all the rest of the gunners do. Tbo hanging up ot a single gun would accomplish nothing , but 1 would bail tvith exceeding pleasure any enactment , could It bo made general in tbe surrounding talcs , that would compel all alike to forego this spring slaughtvraud give the persecuted birds uu opportunity to multiply nnd re cuperate. But to return to the present pcnson. The Inst issue of mallards , roJhena , widgeon nnd bluebill nre In from tbo south , nnd most of them oul acnin , still Isolated bunches and pairs will linger here for a couple of weeks to come , when all but those who bnvo tbo temerity to undertake to breed hero will bnvo winged their way to the undisturbed fastnesses beyond Bafilns bay. The blue and green wing teal may possible afford good aport until well along In June , nnd often they are to be mot with through the entire Sum mer. mer.But there is nnolbor rare sport in store for tbe lover of the Hold nnd marsh.

No shooting equals thai of tbo Jacks , and no mi gratory bird is moro valued by the gourmets nnd thu epicures. They are a mysterious bird ' 'nnd come nnd go witb the secrecy of the winds. They move leisurely on their north ern Journey , by short singes of lllghtmuklng Innumerable halts before reaching their breeding grounds. These uro located in very high latitudes. They d alight in moist ground , yet displny al times n curious predi lection for brushy spots und the outskirts of Qnnk woodlands. Its most favorite feeding grounds in this region , however , are on marsh } ' meadow lands where cattle nre pas tured , or In the Interior nbout fresh water prings , environed by onzy swamps and thickets of willow , wild rose nnd pucker- brush. It may most surely bo foundthough , on pastured marshes , whore it. feeds in the oft , spongy soil , cut up nnd corrugated by tbe hoofs of wandering kino.

[ To the Sporting Editor Cf THE BEE.J Now ihat there are so many athletic clubs in the city it is to be hoped that these who have n voice in the matter will take tbo proper steps lo make their out door sports a real success , such as will give . .gatlsfnctlon to spectators nnd competitors. All know how outdoor athletic sports nro patronized lu Iho onsl , and I venture to say that sports will be ns well patronized iu Omaha as anywhere it a few little things ore attended to in the management. The iirat thing that. Is necessary is to ad- Vorilso at least n month before tbo day fixed for the contest , The reason of this is , to allow the athletes to train to insure competi tion. Another point that must not bo over looked Is that ns there will bo in every sport bpen contestIn which uthletos from lha dif ferent clubs will compete , there should bo a Judge selected from tbo outside. It is usual to invite some person connected with the porting stuff of n local paper to fill that no- itioi. The prizes are also an Important item. They should be various so ns to suit different tastes. It U ridiculous to be giving gold medals for everything. Gold medals are supposed to represent championships , MI a it is only on this nc- pount they are thought anything nbout , I think It would not bo B bad idea for tbo pouimitleo to find out what would suit tbe la stes of the contestant * best. Of course It U'not necessary to nik wboover they think will win , but they run get around it easy nougu if they only keep their ears open. There nre several little things like thnt Which , It nejrlected , might make a mooting n failure. At 1 have sniil above some local sporting man of repute should bo invited to Judge , aud ho can give full instructions and Ciroo- * iotin to laviog out of course , eta , aud I bopo those who have control of these matter * will see to this , and then the athlete * and people of the city may look forward to the enjoyment thai well conducted , well con tested cports always afford.

Will somebody please kill Jusbman before bo breaks up the National league. The tJn-at Pull thU AVock. The tug-of-war which commences at Expo sition hall Tuesday tilcht , promises to bo a great athletic event , The eight teams have nit been getting good and ready , and is they seem to bo very evenly matched , the strug gles will bo most Intensely Interesting. The aoats are nil limited to a 30 minutes pull , the loam having the cinch on the rope at the end ot that time will win the heat. This will make rod hot work for tbo men , ns they are all well aware that 30 minutes won't last forever. It will also give bettor satisfaction to the spectators , as they are sure to see nil motions of the competitors each night. The last pull will always be over by about 10 MO. The Irish team will bo In bolter shape this time , nnd the coptnln , Ed O'Connor , says his boys will make n hard pull sure The Scotch team U In for It and from the looks of tbo team Bonny Scotland xvlll surely make n good record. The Bohemians have strengthened their team bv uuttlnt : In heavier men. They are well Known to bo great pullers and their extra wolghtlwlll make them n hard team to beat. Sergeant Kinnoman from the fort , captain of the American team , says ho has been training his men twice n week and expects to make n hard fight for the flag. The Gorman team Is represented from South Omaha , and they are a Una looking team. From the record they hold tt will bo n hard struggle to pull them up. Tbo Swedish team is also from South Omahn , and ns tbo record of their nntionollty Is well known , It Is safe to say that hoover defeats them will know they bavo been In a tug-of-war. Tbo hand some Donos need very little Introdutlon to the Omaha public. They are among the creatost pullers lu the league nnd If they don'l carry off the banner it won't bo their fault. Last but not least comes the noble rod warrior from the fnr west. This is a team of Sioux Indians. They hnvo boon nt the fort about eight months and they are u health- , husky looking lot. It is expected by n great many who think they know , that the reus will prove to bo tbo dark horse in the tourna ment. The teams will all moot at exposition hall at 11:30 : n m. next Tuesday and in their handsome uniforms , with the Fort Omaha band at their head will parade the city from 12 to 1. The building will be handsomely decorated with flags of all nations. There arc 800 reserve seats for ladies and their es corts. Manager Prlnco has left , nothing un done and moans to give Omaha a grand uth- lotlc entertainment , The tournament ii for the championship of Nebraska and the team whiuh wins this will represent the state at the World's fair for the championship of America. It I * Just I.lko ThlB. It must not bo imagined that ball players in the Western league are playing for "cigar money,1' ns Kid Baldwin suggests. They have six months' contracts nnd are paid all the way from fOOO to 51,400 or $1,500. The managers got 82,000. Thot Is not bad pay for six months' work. Many n mnn slaves twelve hours a day every day In the year for a good deal less. The fellow who gets $100 per month in these days is not doing so bad , nnd co one will say that playing ball is a disagrocablo business. It Is not time ns yet to pity the ball player. He can still live on the fat of the land. , Tunt a Quiet Mttlc Pointer. The Omnhn management hns no occasion to experiment with players whom time has con clusively proven that no club can got along with. There are plenty of sober , deserving and respectable plorors anxious for positions , and those are the kind of men the public de mand. The tough and the lusher have no more business in base ball than they bavo In any other business. Chnnco Fur n Little on tlio Side. Jeff Bedford's "Hit Mo for Fifty Dollars , " has again been erected on the outfield of the local ball grounds , only this time the familiar old tlgn makes two propositions , , ° iO to the man who hits it with u batted ball on the fly , and $35 to the man who hits it with u batted ball on the roll or bound.

I'd like to know how you figure that out , Ban. How ever , you big league ducks can bring about some funny things , under the nntlonal agree ment , in base ball. See' catch ! understand I Manaccr Cushman of Milwaukee says ! " 1 do not think tbo big league will last longer than one year.

The Minneapolis Tribune In speaking of the Millers says : Munyan , with the St. Louis Browns , nnd Dixon , with the Johns- town-Glovorsville club of the New York stnto league last season , catchers : France , with Sacramento in the California league the first half of Inst season , and with Tacomn in the Pacific Northwest league the re mainder or the season ; Swartzel , for several seasons with Knnsas City , nnd Beatin , who played with Cleveland and Detroit in the league , pitchers ; McGuirk , of the Sacra mento club , llrst base ; Shinnlck , with the Louisville , second base : Parrott , with Port land , Ore. , third base ; Graham , of the cham pion Erie club of the New York and Penn sylvania league , short stop , and Carroll , of the Minneapolis and Lowell clnbs , Newman ot the Seattle club , nnd Katz of Grand Rapids and Kansas City , outfielders. Since tbo awarding ot the players Mnnacer Morton bns made n request for two men to take the places of McGuirk and Katz , whom be hasn't much confidence in , and President Williams yesterday signed Milt West , or "Papn , " ns ho is called here , and nssigned him to Minneapolis. West led the Eastern association in Oattioc last season with tbo unusually high percentage of , 3G. He played first base part of the season for Syracuse and oot.ained a fielding average of .008 and had an nverago of .858 In center field. McGuirk. whose place he tnkos , mndo a fine record for himself In the California league nnd was ono of the best ooacbers in the leacuo. His averages were : Games , 134 ; hits , 186. batting average , .247 ; fielding , .007 , nnd ho stole 2S bases. If West does as good ns that he will have to play ball for all bo's worth. A now mnn will probably be signed In n few days to take the place of Katz. On the Track anil In the Stable. The black stallion. Director ( sire of Direct 200. pacer ) , was sold recently for $75,000.

As Silver City is only n little run out from Omaha , when they give their trotting meet ing this season the Omaha and Council Blufmes should take a trip there. I ntn sure they will see some going worth the while. Tbo road wagon builders seem to antici pate a lively season with road riders , as they ere turnine out some one-man wagons that nro ns perfectly balanced as is possible , the weight of which will not handicap a horse much in n brush down the road. In organizing the Gentlemen's driving club Omaha is doing n great thing. I hope all cities of tbe west will do likewise. For surcease from business caroi n spin behind a perfectly galled and grandly bred horse that hns size nnd style , no other recreation can equal. Notwithstanding the fnuit finding that is being indulged in by very many turf writers nowaday * relative to all methods of manage- Ing this nnd that affair , regarding trotters they are bringing better prices nil the time nnd more money Is being put up for them to trot for.

There's something going to happen , i'ixley will "bob up serenely" nt some of tbe meets nnd take off the best plums und don't you forget it. A tnaa mounted on a G. O.

Ryan , it is said , has consented to muot Wilkes under these conditions , Wilkes not to weigh moro than 145 pounds. This is what the St. Louis and Chicago papers suy , but I take little stock In it.

To this Houseman nor Ryan paid any attention , in fact , notwithstanding thnt boveral loiters prior to this hai : been exchanged with House man on tbo tame bubjectovon tbo courtesy of uu acknowledgement was never reroived. The reasonable inference wns that Ryan didn't wnnl nny of Wildes' game , unless It wns conducted under tbo nuspioei of tbe Chicago crowd exclusively , ns nil of his tights have been.

The coming week bids fair to bo an un usually pleasant one in tno theatrical sense , since it brings before the Omaha public a new star and nn nctross who m less than ouo season bus mudo a name and a reputation that places her well along in the light of legitimate delineators of the standard dramas. Miss Gale comes to Omaha fresh from n two weeks' engagement nt the Bald win theater in San Francisco , where the critics ana the public ucccordcd her the most bountiful praise. For her Introduction in Omaha Miss Gale hns selected some of the immortal bard's .best works nnd a romantic drnmn by Maria Lovell , whieb will also command n front place in this list of logltinato plays. MUs Gulo is n charming nctress , liut few pooplocnn npprecinto her real beauty nud the sweetness of her charac ter. She is modest , unostentatious nud charmingly gentle. tier first appearance on tbe stage was in 1SS5 with Lawrence Barrett. Until the close of last season she supported Mr. Bar rett und was with him when ho wns starring jointly with Mr. Booth. Several times last HOUSOU she plnyod Juliet to Mr. Barrett's Koinon , People never wonry of the beurt- stirnng story of "Romeo and Juliet , " nnd they cover seem to ioso their Interest in following tbe varied fortunes of Rosalind in ' As You Like It. " These two are today tbo most popular of Shakespeare's plays , An other thing thnt pleases is that the people , aud by tbo people 1s meant the theater com in general , yoom to bo constantly growing in their appreciation ot quiet , but intense and nrtlsttc acting. They seem to bo recovering from tbo unwholesome influence of tha rant and paskiou tuarlng with which too many of ourAmericau melodramas have bean rendered. Miss Gale's Omaha engagement will bs n society event In every sense. Hera is the repertoire fnr the week : ' Romeo nnd Juliet , " Miss Gale B Juliet ; "Ingomar , " Miss Gale as Parthenia ; "As You Like It , " Miss Gulo as Rosalind ; ' 'The Lady of Lyons , " Miss Gale us Pauline ; "Much Ado About Noth ing , " Miss Gale as ilentrice , It will be very gratifying information not only to tbo literary people of Omaha , but to the vast reading public , witb whom Will CarleUm't world-wide | > opulur pooins havw u place second to none , to iinow thnt ba will tiiaue his first appearance in Omaha lu tuo Young Men's Christian association hall on Friday evening next. The local manage ment hnd expected lo secure a larger hall for this entertainment , believing that Mr , C'trle- ton's popularity would insure him nn nudi- ence of very large proportions , but both of the theaters nnd Exposition hall bolng en gagoj , the only centrally located hull re maining open on thnt date , which wni the only open date that could bo secured for Mr. Carleton , was Young Men's Christian asso ciation hall. Tbo reserved scat sale will open nt Clavier's drug Mora , 222 South Six * too nth street , on Wednesday morning next nt V o'clock. One of the most tucocssful cngatromonts ol tbo sonson at the Farnain Street thintcrvn the "O. What n Night" company four weeks ago. Their slay then was nllogotnor toj short , as the continuously largo nudlonooi showed. Manager Burgess bns secured ; them for a return oncngonjont nnd n longot stny , nnd they will open for a week's stnnd nt the Knrnum Street with n matinee thlt ntternoon. An nttrnction to bo success ful must please tbo people not only thosa who go to the theater to laugh nlnnythlnq nnd everything , i > ut these who never laugh , or at least who Intieh "inwardly. " To IMs latter class of theater poor * . "O , What n Night" Is sure to provo entertaining , ns they cannot help bul bo "InwnrJly convulsed" nt the bright , keen wit , comical situations and brilliant tatlro. Among the company nroV. . S. Lnng and C , E , Eatvnrds , negro nnd Irish comedians ; Mls Minn Gennoll , tbo great dancing soubrelto , nnd the ffimr-us Enirllsh twin sisters , the sisters Loleu , In the great est dance ever pul upon the stngo , cMInd the ' Delusion IJntieo , " nnd several other pretty girls and funny men , ranking A splendid on- terinlntnont Unlike most fnrco comedies , "O , What n Nlghl" ha n well defined plot , It deals with the adventures of two married men of rather loose morals , nn Indiscreet wife , n gay young bachelor , a lively nctross nnd an amorous nud nlbltlou * locksmith. It would bo useless to attempt to toll the story of how the author hns contrived to keopthoso people hiding from each other , the complica tions into which they nro led by their own folly , or to explain the clover manner in which ho finally extricates thorn from em barrassing situations. Following Miss Gale nt Bovd's Now Thea ter comes Carroll Johnson , who several years ago was clnssod as ono of tbo greatest nun. sirols upon the American stngo , in his now Irish comedy draum entitled , "Tho Gossou.

Daniel Sully says Alexander Sweet of Texas Sittings and ho will collaborate next summer on n pluy thai will bo a political satire entitled ' -Tammany Hnll. " They will work at Sully's farm in the Cutsklll moun tains. The Long Island sound boats which leave Now York Sunday nights ufford a greut meeting ground for traveling troupes. Two Sundays ago eight big companies were pas sengers on ono boat , and no fewer than 300 actors and actresses fraternized during the trip. George Ilanlon.who bns become n preacher , has not been near the theater on Sunday for throe years , and has nlwnys given n part of bis earnings to charity. In San .Francisco ho tried to enter the Presbyterian churcn , but was uot admitted because ho was nu actor. Jenn do Roszko recently wrote this senti ment in n Boston nutograpb album in French : "The voice Is u grenl coquette , the moro you think of her the further she floes from you. But ignore her for a moment for articulation , for expression , and you immediately find her nt your side. " Frederic Archer has organized n "soloct choir" of twenty-four singers in Chicago. The leading feature of tholr programs will be English glees and madrigals ot tbo high est class and arrangements of Scotch nnd nn- tlounl melodies. All will bo sung without accompaniment. At Proctor's theater In Now York , n do- partmect has been established to give practi cal instruction in stage and dramatic work.
