 brought out quite a number of New Yorkers as well as local 

 marksmen. Tne day was a fair one, as far as light was con- 

 cerned, but the riflemen had to contend against a bad ■'fish-tail" 

 wind, and in consequence the scores were not remarkable. Wal- 

 ther got 217, Hayes 216, Coppersmith 212, Dr. Boy ken 212, Gentsch

McVTTTIE IN CANADA.— Mr. R. Me Vittie, the famous Scotch 

 rifleman, has taken up his residence in Toronto. He is not only a 

 crack marksman, but was probably the best authority ou rifle 

 shooting in the United Kingdom. Few men were, so widely known 

 in shooting circles, and his advice was sought from far and near 

 on all matters connected with rifle shooting. The veteran marks- 

 man will be missed at Wimbledon, wnere his face has beeu famil- 

 iar to the frequenters of that meeting for about twenty years. 

 He was a member of the Scotch rifle team visiting Creedmoor in 

 1876.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 13.-The monthly shoot of the Los 

 Angeles Rod and Gun Club took place this afternoon at the Agri- 

 cultural Park. The contestants were handicapped with a stiff 

 breeze, which interfered very much with the blue rocks. The live 

 birds were all good flyers, and quite a number carried several 

 loads of shot out of bounds, where they fell dead. Unger killed 

 every one of his live birds with his first barrel, and the reason of 

 his poor score at single blue rocks was attributable to the defec- 

 tive trap from which the birds were all sprung. The following is 

 the complete score:

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.— The third monthly shoot of the 

 Alameda County Sportsman's Club took place to-day at Bird's 

 Point, Alameda. The attendance was excellent, the full member- 

 ship of the club appearing to be on the ground. For pigeon shoot- 

 ing the weather was all that could be desired, a stiff nortnwest 

 breeze giving the marksmen no small job to grass the flyers inside 

 of the 100-yard boundary line. Pigeons furnished by Bird were 

 particularly active. In the club shoot there were 19 entries, 12 

 birds at 100yds. boundary. The scores were excellent, but Beard- 

 man curried off the palm by killing 12 straight . Maynai d, Adams, 

 Norton and Schrader tied for second place with 11 to their credit.
