Mr. Kimball, who won first money on a straight score, was for- 

 merly a member of the club, but three years ago he removed to 

 California, where he still resides. He has uot forgotten how to 

 handle a gun, though he has not shot since he went away. 

 It was a hamnierless, and though not used to it, and being balked 

 nearly every time he tried to shoot, "he got there lust the same." 

 Ties on 13 div. second money, but shot off for badge, 'Ensign win- 

 ning; Skinner third and Lawrence fourth. 



SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.— The San Francisco Gun Club held 

 its usual monthly shoot to-day at Adams Point, and despite vari- 

 ous counter attractions, had quite a pleasant reunion. The 

 grounds, which have been renovated, were in fine condition, 

 and the birds were up to the usual standard. The shooting all 

 round was. however, hardly up to the usual average in the club 

 shoots. Only 70 per cent, were killed inside the boundary, and of 

 these quite a number were second barrel kills, though it must be 

 stated that several of the deaths were effected at a tremendous 

 range. 70 odd yards in oue instance. Schultze powder was used in 

 nearlv every ease. The scores in the club shoot at 12 birds, 80yds.

NEWARK, N. J., April 25.— The open-to-all sweepstake at 25 

 live birds, that took place at Erb's grounds to-day, drew a large 

 crowd of spectators. It was expected that the event would have 

 20 entries, but only half that number were on band with their 

 money. Tile weather conditions were good, and a stiff northeast 

 breeze blew across the traps. The birds furnished by Erb were 

 far above the average; scarcely one of them lingered at the trap 

 after it had been pulled. W. Tell Mitchell shot Mr. Freche's score 

 as well as his own, but did not succeed in gel ting a place for him. 

 The shooting of Captain Jones was a pretty piece of work, aud lie 

 should have had a clean score, his sixth bird, scored as lost, fall- 

 ing stone dead just out of bounds. Mr. Caperon, of Baltimore, 

 and Chas. Smith both lost two birds that were hit hard, but luck 

 was against them and they got out of bounds. The conditions 

 were modified Hurlingham rides, 12-gauge guns, at, 28yds. rise. 

 The purse was divided into four moneys. "South Paw" Heritage 

 was the referee and Jacob "Pointer" Pentz officia) scorer. Score-

NEW JERSEY STATE SHOOT.— A meeting of the New Jersey 

 State Sportsmen's Association for the Protection of Fish and 

 Game was held in Newark. N. J., on April 24. The association bad 

 held no meetings since 1884. and many of the clubs that wore then 

 members had passed out of existence. Dr. W. N. Pen dell the 

 president called the. meeting to order; Secretary Haves called the 

 roll, and the following clubs answered: The Essex of Newark was 

 represented by Dr. Pendell and W. Hayes, South Side of Newark 

 by W. H. Hobert and J. H. Burnett, Forresters of Newark by 

 Jacob Pent/., Midway of Mattewan by Jas. H. Bodle, Frank, liver 

 and J. L. Terhuue, Jersey City Heights of Marion by W. Fred 

 Quimhy, Al. Heritage and Wm. Hughes. The minutes of the last 

 meeting were read and approved, and upon the call for new 

 members the following clubs were proposed, unanimously elected 

 and their delegates admitted: Middlesex of Dunellen, represented 

 by W. L. Force and T. II. Keller, New York Suburban represented 

 by Chas. Richards, and the Newark of Newark and the Mercer 

 clubs of Trenton, who were not represented. The most important 

 business of the meeting was the adoption of shooting rules, and 

 caused ,; great discussion. A committee composed of Messrs. 

 Pentz. Ilobart. and Hughes was appointed by the chair to draft a 

 set of rules, which it presented to the meeting. The American 

 Association rule", with Hie following amendments were accepted: 

 Section 3. Rule 2, was eliminated entirely; Rule 10 was also done 

 away with, leaving the boundary to be decided by the managers 

 of the tournament. Rule 11 was amended by striking out, the 

 weights of guns, handicapping the gauge only, 10-bores at 80yds. 

 and 12-bores at 28yds. rise. Rule 10, the position of the gun at the 

 scores, caused a lengthy debate, but it. was finally carried that. " the 

 gun must be held below the armpit until the bird is on the wing." 

 Rule 17 was changed making the penalty a lost bird for failure" to 

 load the gnu. Rule 28 was amended, making all ties to be shot 

 oil' at 3 birds. For double bird shooting the following changes 

 were made. Rule 5 was amended as follows: "If the miss fire 

 occurs with second barrel the shootei shall fire at another naif of 

 birds." Rule 8 makes all ties to be shot off at 3 pairs. For in- 

 animate targets the American Association rules were adopted 

 entire. The fixing of a date for a tournament was deferred until 

 t he next meeting; also Hie election of officers. A committee was 

 appointed to revise Hie constitut ion and by-laws, and have 500 

 copies of Hie shooting rotes printed. The action of the State As- 

 sociation will do much toward booming pigeon shooting in New 

 Jersey, as they intend to sffe that the laws are enforced. The 

 meeting adjourned subject to the call of the president, and will 

 possibly meet again' in May.— Tee Kat.

 take place to-day at Dexter's Park, Jamaica Plank Road, by a 

 number of well known wing shots who reside in the vicinity of 

 the Hill and have recently organized a guu club, but owing to 

 the heavy rainstorm the shoot was postponed. Several got as far 

 as the Twenty-sixth Ward, but only two reached the shooting 

 ground, and these, not to be balked of their afternoon's sport, 

 shot off a long pending match that had been made between them 

 at the Unknown Gun Club shoot. L. Hopkins challenged W. 

 Oilman to shoot a match at 25 birds each, 25yds. rise, for a prize 

 valued at $100. L. Hopkins led on the, tenth round by one bird, 

 was tied on the sixteenth, and finally won by one hird. The 

 heavy rain made the shooting difficult, most of the birds being 

 fast incomers. The score: 



W Gilman 111100111 111111 1101110111-21 



L Hopkins 1101 1.1 1 1111111101 1 111 1011— 22 



Referee and scorer, C. Dellar. The new organization will be 

 known as the Crescent Gun Club and the officers will be elected 

 at the next meeting. It has not yet been decided on what grounds 

 the club will shoot, as Saturdays are the best available days for 

 the majority of the members and Dexter Park will be engaged 

 for baseball on that day during the season.
