SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12— The season as far as the California 

 Wing Club is concerned was brought to a close by a meeting at 

 San Bruno to-day. A 13-bird match, the last of a series of six, was 

 shot off The eccentricities of the prevailing wind enjoined extra 

 watchfulness on tlie part of the shooters. The birds supplied were 

 both strong and artful, and the major pai-t of them on feeling the 

 breeze worked to the right in double quick time. A very small 

 percentage of them flew against the wind, and these were easily 

 negotiated. E, Fay made a clean score and C. Robinson and J. 

 de Vanll, Jr., killed eleven birds each. The conditions were 30yds. 

 rise and lOOvds. boundary. The following are the scores made: 



Robinson 111131111031—11 IngaUs 111010011113- 9 



Fa Y 113113111111-13 Le^^r 121131110101-10 



De' Vaull 323321021111 - 11 Slady 1111110201 11—10 



Tlie figure 3 denotes that the second barrel was used. This being 

 the last match of the seasson, decided what member were entitled 

 to the club medals for the best average scores made. C. Robinson 

 took the first medal, E. Fay the second and Slade the third. A 

 sweepstakes match was then opened, in Avhich Messrs. Robin- 

 son, Fay, Slade and Levy took part. These men proved to be 

 pretty evenly matched, as out of 13 birds, at 30yds., each of them 

 killed 11. They then started to shoot off and slaughtered all the 

 available pigeons on the grovmd without being able to decide as to 

 superiority. In all 96 birds were shot at and Levy, Faj' and Slade 

 killed 33 each, Robinson killing 31. The match therefore remains 

 undetermined. 



NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 18.— Nimrods vs. East Orange Gun Club,

 RIFLE SHOOTING AT GLASS BATiLS.— Editor ForcM and 

 Sh eam: In issue of Sept. 16 is an ai'ticle on rifle wing-shooting. I 

 cannot agree with the writer on tlie sight quesi.ion, for I Tiave tried 

 the bar sight he speaks of, and for me it is of not much use. I 

 prefer for shooting at flying objects at more than 10yds. rise a pair 

 of Lyman's sights. For less than 30ft. plain open sights (coarse) 

 are j\ist the thing. I think that I have hit as small objects in the 

 air as it is possible to hit, and I find coarse open sights all right 

 for that work. "^Tbien my rifle strikes my shoulder my eye is in 



the sights; as he says, "You do not know when vou pull the trig- | 

 ger,"more instinct tha,n anything else. After "I break a ball I ' 

 cannot tell from memory that I sighted at the ball, although I 

 must have seen the ball in the sights. In my regular glass-haU ; 

 shooting 1 use a .33 Winchester and shoot at about 18 or 30ft. rise. | 

 When the ball leaves the thrower's hand I keep the front sight as 

 near tlie ball as convenient until the gun is to my shoulder, and 

 then "plug it." I can set my trap with a string and cut off the 

 cord and reload and break the ball very weE. My .33 has made 

 some very good records this year under the above conditions. I ( 

 have broken 112 out of 114 and 98 out of 100; at another time 97 out 

 of 100; again 95 out of possible 100. These 414 shots were made con- 

 secutively but on four different davs. Out of the 414 1 hit 403. ' 

 This was done on the sights originally on the '73 model Winches- ' 

 ters. I have never made any records at over 13yd8., but before | 

 long I shall try 100 balls from ground trap at 1.5yds., Lyman sights. | 

 From what I have shot I think I can get about 85 of them.— Will 

 A. Parker (Rome, N. Y., Sept. 17).

ANOTHER CHALLENGE FOR THE CUP. 



UNDETERRED by the iU success of Geiu f f a and Galatea, an- 

 other British yachtsman is now rearl; :i I rial to re- 

 gain the America Cup, and has sentanu intention to 

 challenge in the form of the following teh uiHui, i r eived by the 

 New York Y. C. on Wednesday of last week; _ 



Glasgow, Sept. 21, 1886. 

 John jET. Bird, Secretary New ForTr T. C, N. T.: 



On behalf of James BeU, a member of tills club, I ofiicially ulti- 

 mate a challenge for the America's Cup contest, to take place next 

 September. Confirmation by post. Wn-LL/Ui York, 



Scc'y Royal Clyde Y. 0. 

 Mr. James BeU is a wealthy Scotch yachtsnian and owner of the 

 schooner vaeht Amadijie, a fast little cruiser of 9:3 ton.s, about 80ft. 

 waterline" built bv Fife & Son, of FaMio. He is a member of tho 

 firm of John Bell & Sons, of Glasgow, the ascni s of .'.Ir. T. t_. . East- 

 man, of New York, the business of the firm being rhe impnrtatioD 

 of American beef. No action has been taken by rhe eliU), as the 

 cablegram is not in the proper form for a challenge, but i;> simply 

 an intimation r.f a cliallenge to come. Nothing is known of Mr. 

 Bell's ulans, but he wUl probably build a yacht from a design by 

 Fife or Watnon. Her dimensions and details as yet ai-e only a 

 matter of conjecture; but there is no doubt but that it will he a 

 keel cutter of 70 to 90ft. waterhne, thougti possibly with more 

 beam than ':!alatea. At any rate it seems likely that a contest for 

 the Cup is assured for next year.
