HE COUNTRY CLUB of San Francisco is an off- shoot of the Pacific Un- ion Club, and is limited to a membership of one hundred. The club was formed in 1889, and dur- ing that year its mem- bership roll was com- plete. In the matter of moving effectively in all matters pertaining to the encouragement of all legitimate sports with the gun and rod it has proved itself a most im- portant factor. It has secured, for the purposes of a preserve, seventy- eight thousand acres of land in Marin County, which has been stocked with all kinds of game and fish, and in the importation of the latter their efforts and expenditures have been of great value to the State as well as in the former.

California has song birds, a* large variety of them, but there are many varieties that are not here found which has necessitated the work of importation, in the mat- ter of which this organization has done much, and in which line it has in contemplation the doing of much more.

Proud as old Lucifer, a lord of kings. His movements seeming less of
