 the Oreedmocr target, but Llic length is Sin. greater. The rifles 

 used were completed on the day the scores were made, as is the 

 rule in these tests. 

 SAN FR ANCISCO, Feb. It).— The riflemen turned out in good 



" resounded on both 



shots were allowed to the members in each club, and some very 

 good scores were made. The matches commenced at 10 o'clock 

 and continued until after 4 o'clock, when the scores were added 

 up, the winners being. California Schuetzou Club, A. Barrier 133: 

 Cadets. A. Ehrenphort 219W, As a rule, however, it was a poor 

 day for some of the crack shots and several of them went home 

 without prizes. Following is the score of the San Francisco Tur- 

 ner Scbuetzeu Club: O. Burameister 55. R. Finking 51. J. Utschig 

 53, Philo .facobv 53, II. Brown 50, L. Their'uick 50, C. Sagehorn 48,

 T. Acker 40. The two medal's, which are awarded to the DhO 

 making the fir«t best shot and the one making the last best shot, 

 were won bv Messrs. Finking and Brown respectively.

 pion class, J- C. Carson 45, 49—94. First class, none. Second 

 lassc, O. Noite 41, 35—76. Third class, G. Hult 38. Fourth class, 

 R. D. Cunningham 29. A preliminary match was shot to-day be- 

 tween Companies A and F, of the Second Artillery, men to the 

 team, 5 shots wit h the pistol and 10 with the rifle. Considering 

 that this was the first time that F Company- had used the pistol 

 in a match and A Company the rifle, the scores were good, 

 though some of the best men in each company fell below their 

 averages.

CAPITAL CITY GUN CLUB.— Washington, D. C.-Editor 

 Forcut awl Stream: Our club having reached an independent 

 position, we decided to erect a substantial shooting house and put 

 our grouuds.in first-class shape for the coming season. This we 

 have done, and we are proud of having as good a ground and as 

 complete arrangements for the comfort of our members as any 

 eluh in the country. At our invitation the Westminster Gun 

 Club, of Maryland, joined us in our house warmine on Feb. 22. 

 Two informal team contests between the two clubs, as well aa 

 some sweeps, were indulged in with the following results. We 

 hope this meeting may result in many similar ones, finally pro- 

 moting some central organization of trap shooters of Maryland, 

 Virginia and the District.

 large attendance. Hot coffee and lunch on the grounds, which, 

 with the warm club house and pleasant surroundings, gave all a 

 very enjoyable day. Next match March 5; regular club shoot.— 

 Chas. H. Johnson. Jr , Secretary. 



A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.— Atchison, Kan.— Editor For- 

 est, and Stream: There is always room for improvement. This 

 improvement has been made by a member of our local gun club. 

 It is an improved target, with an illuminating attachment, that 

 ca n be used by day or night as required. The attachment can be 

 placed on the target in an instant, and the target will not be 

 hindered in its flight or broken. It looks \ T ery pretty when sprung 

 from the trap into the air, forming a perfect circle of fire. When 

 hit the circle is broken and rays of sparks fly in all directions. 

 Those who have examined it and shot at it pronounce it a very 

 desirable improvement, which will prove very convenient in 

 tournament shooting, because with it they can finish the shoot 

 even if darkness sets in. Without the illuminating attachment 

 those shooters who have to shoot last, it is of cen the case, are 

 under a disadvantage. By usiug this illuminated attachment 

 they have equal chance, as fair for oue as the other, for the target 

 wili be in plain view aud show distinctly when broken. In ex- 

 tremely cold or wet weather indoor shooting can be enjoyed by 

 having a suitable building made for the purpose, darkened for 

 day shooting. The marksineu may stand in a position where the 

 light reflects, or have lamps so arranged so as to obtain the sight 

 of the gun if so desired. No targets have as yet been manufac- 

 tured as it is a late invention, although a bird has been designed 

 with other good qualities than those mentioned, for which a 

 patent has been applied for. At a trial shoot the illuminating 

 attachment was used on the Peoria blackbirds and Cleveland 

 blue rooks on dark and moonlight nights with very good results. 

 They were broken right along, although it was a new way of trap 

 shooting to all of us.— M. N. 



ALLOW AY, N. J., Feb. 22.— A return match at live pigeons, 

 was shot here tc-day between teams of the Salem, N. J., Gun Club 

 and the Cinnaminson Gun Club, of River ton, N. J. The match 

 was shot under the rules of the Riverton Gun Club, use of both 

 barrels, 30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary; teams of 10 men, 11 live 

 pigeons per man. The birds were an extra good lot, a large num- 

 ber falling dead a few feet out of bounds:

DUNELLEN.— The advertised classified sweepstake shooting 

 match for a 8300 guaranteed purse on the grounds of the Middle- 

 sex Gun Club at Dunellen, Feb. 22, brought out a large number of 

 pigeon shooters and spectators. The weather was fine and the 

 birds furnished by President Robinson, a good lot. Promptly at 11 

 o'clock 13 contestants faced the traps and commenced a trial of 

 skill with the trigger. The scores below will show that some 

 good shooting was done, and the Middlesex Gun Club must be 

 awarded the palm for furnishing as fine an entertainment for 

 pigeon shooters, as came off in the State on Washington's Birth- 

 day. Everything passed off pleasantly and quietly. Before, dur- 

 ing aud after the event of the day (the above-mentioned sweep- 

 stake) there were trials of skill at inanimate targets and live 

 birds by those who did not care to enter the big match. Among 

 those present and participants were "Uncle Billy" Siegler, of 

 Montclair, N. J., winner of the first money in the great Long 

 Branch tournament last week; "Pop" Hughes, of Jersey City; 



J 1 T^..„J X~ \ •. . ..1- . A 1 T3„:i , -1 T i . 



Philadelphia, Pa.; H. Harris, Delair, N.J. As usual, our good- 

 natured German fellow citizen, Charley Smith, was the life of 

 the crowd. "Bless the Dutch" was frequently heard w-hen he 

 made a good kill, and it is doubtful if there was a person on the 

 ground that did not regret his losing his twenty -fourth bird, 

 which fell dead a couple of feet beyond the back dead-line. This 

 shoot has demonstrated the fact that the Middlesex Gun Giub can 

 draw a good crowd of good shooters on their grounds at any time. 

 The members know how to cater to those who attend, and make 

 them feel at home. In the near future there will be a team race 

 between members of the club, in which the champion female 

 shooter. Miss Annie Oakley, will participate. Mr. Williams, of 

 Elizabeth, acted in a perfectly satisfactory manner as referee. 

 His decisions were at all times just. Messrs. Heft and Thomas 



Parker was sadly missed. Messrs. "Warry" Squires and J. 

 Neighbor catered to the crowd in a satisfactory manner, by serv- 

 ing them with eatables.- Conditions of match, 25 live birds each,

 of a handsome club house at a cost of $2,500. The club will en- 

 courage all kinds of shooting, and also have a 200yds. rifle range
