One of oldest in west was founded May 21, 1880, in Nevada County as the Grass Valley Sportsmans Club. The purpose of this club according to Article I, Section 2 of its constutition--"The object of the Club is the preservation of game and fish, and fish culture, for protecting the same by legal means, for influencing so far HOCKETT AUTO SALES has a complete line of 1962 MODELS as practicable, the enactment of such additional laws and ordinances as may be found necessary to accomplish that end, to enforce those laws; to encourage the use of gun among the members and generally to attend to and guard such matters @ PONTIACS including Tempest @BUICK & Buick Specials @Plus a complete line of CADILLACS and interested therewith connected as may be of benifit to the public and the mem.bers of the Club."

At the meeting of February 19, 1889, “The president stated that he had inquired into the price of Chinese Pheasants and pair could be got at $12.50 per'pair. Eggs can be (obtained) at $2.50 . per dozen and that he had ordered 4 doz. eggs.” On March 6, 1889, the clubs next. meeting --"The consideration of the purchase of Chinese Pheasants was postponed until next meeting.” However no report was made on the Pheasant project. at the April meeting but on May 1, 1889 the "ComMittee report of Dr. I.W.
