using a lubrica ed bullet. This rifle was not clean at all. and had 

 been fired hundreds of shots before coming to the match. The 

 rifle and manner of shooting it were the subject of much favor- 

 able comment. The rifle was remarkable for the small vertical 

 deviation of its shots, many strings of ten shots each being in- 

 cluded within IJ^in. in height. Mr. J. R. Munroe was present, one 

 of the riflemen who have made themselves famous the past few 

 weeks by their remarkable work in rest shooting at Walnut Hill. 

 He used a, .38-cal. Ballard, No. The bullets Mr. Munroe used 

 were not suited to the condition of the gun, and he did not do as 

 fine work as he has been accustomed to do. All the shooting was 

 at 40 rods, string measure; 5 strings of 10 shots each were fired. 

 All the shooting hut that of Mr. Munroe was done from double 

 rest. Efforts are being made to have a larger shoot in the fall, 

 and an attractive programme will be presented. Mr. Munroe was 

 allowed a discount of 3in. on each string of 10 shots. Mr. William 

 Hayes was allowed a discount of 1J&UJ, per string of 10 shots. The 

 names of the winners and length of strings are given below:

 teams of the Carson Shooting Club and the California Schuetzen 

 Club. The first match was fired this time last year, the California 

 shootists ha ving taken up a challenge issued by the Carson City 

 club to any shooting club in the United States. The California 

 men on that occasion won by some 58 points, and the match yes- 

 terday was tlie return one. Both teams fired in their respective 

 cities, the Carson people appointing Colonel Kellogg to supervise 

 their interests in San Francisco, while Colonel Boyle and Captain

 last occasion, Creedrnoor targets were used. The rifles used were 

 the ordinary military rifle with a 6-pound pull on the trigger.

The marksmen who assembled on the 24th. at the Minnehaha 

 range to participate in the second day's contests of the Minne- 

 apolis club's annual tournament were greeted with a very stiff 

 breeze. The forenoon was too windy for comfort and good shoot- 

 ing, but the men showed the benefit of the first day's practice. 

 The shooting averaged up well. In the afternoon it was quite 

 pleasant. The most interesting features of the day were the team 

 contests and the repeating rifle shoot.

The third day of the Minneapolis Gun Club tournament was 

 more pleasurable to those who participated in the. events than 

 either of the preceding days. Some of the local and State shooters 

 got discouraged by the presence of some of the crack shots of the 

 country, and did not participate. The entiles were numerous 

 enough to make it Interesting, however. Budd and Stice, the 

 great wing shots from abroad, fared weU as usual. The weather 

 was all that could be expected. 



There were 23 entries lor the first match of the day and the 

 ninth of the meet, a shoot at 7 Peoria, blackbirds, sent up at 18yds.

The attendance at the fourth day's shooting of the Minneapolis 

 Gun Club on the 26th was much smaller than any previous day. 

 There were many of the State, and local marksmen who partici- 

 pated in the. sport of Monday and Tuesday who did not think 

 they stood any show in the contest entered by Budd and Stice, 

 the great wing" shots, whom many people regard as "profession- 

 als." So far as the weather was concerned, the day was the most 

 favorable thus far. 



The first contest was at 10 blue rock pigeons. There were but 9 

 entries. The score was: Stice 9, Paine 9, Harrison 9, Budd 10, Wil- 

 lard 7, Courtney 10, Whitcomb 6, Bader 4, Russell 7. First money 

 was divided, second went to Harrison, third was divided and fourth

 dividing second money on 9. There was a special sweepstakes 

 shoot at 10 birds. First was divided between Skinner and Budd, 

 Courtney won second and third was divided between Shaft and

MIDDLESEX GUN CLUB.— Regular shoot at Dunellen,May 25. 

 The match between Lever and Quinlan is off, and another made 

 between Lever, Quinlan and Cannon for $50 a corner, at 30 birds, 

 Cannon to stand 36yds., the others at 30 yds. Considerable interest 

 is taken in this match as both Lever and Quinlan have their 

 friends, with Cannon selling third choice. For a consideration, I 

 think I could place them in one, two, three order at the finish. 

 The day opened with first on the programme, a team shoot of 5 

 men a side for the birds. Teams captained by Dickens and Lever.
