There was no new business to come before the convention, so 

 the question of a place to hold the next tournament was taken up. 

 Mr. \V. S. Garritt, of the Spencer Gun Club, spoke in favo- of 

 Lyons. He mentioned the fact that Lyons had on three previous 

 occasions asked for the convention, aud each time had been put 

 off with the promise that they should have it the following year, 

 and now he thought they were justb entitled to it. He spoke of 

 Lyons's capabilities for giving a good shoor and properly entei- 

 tainmg the visitors, and wound up with an eloquent appeal to the 

 Association to fulfil their promises and give Lyons the con- 

 vention. His associates, W. C. Hadley and J. D. Meyers, 

 ably seconded his appeal. Syracuse put in a bid in 

 the person of Mr. Ed. Hudson, and Rome also advanced 

 W. P. Rayland and A. 11. Golley as orators in the 

 effort to secure the prize. After much discussion a ballot was 

 taken, which resulted in 38 votes for Lyons, 22 for Syracuse and 10 

 for Rome. This vote was then made a unanimous one for Lyons, 

 where the convention for 1890 will be held. The following officers 

 were then elected for 1890: President, Wm. S. Gairth, of Lyons; 

 First Vice-President, Geo. C. Luther, of Syracuse; Second Vice- 

 President. Thos. H. Greer, of Albany; Recording Secretary, John 

 B. Sage, of Buffalo; Corresponding Secretary, Hoss Parsball of 

 Lyons; Treasurer, Dan Lefever, of Syracuse. 



The King bird was adopted by the Association as the standard 

 target for all matches, and the Ainericau Shooting Association 

 rules were also adopted. The convention then adjourned till 

 8 o'clock Tuesday evening.

BONE HOLLOW. -Beaver, Pa., May 2.5.-The Bone Hollow 

 Shooting Club, of this place, held its fourth weekly shoot to-day r . 

 The reader is respectfully requested in his criticisms of our score 

 to make due allowance for our yottth (as a club) and inexperience, 

 none of the members having shot at bluerocks before we organized, 

 and one at least has always shot the rifle. The attendance of 

 members was not what it should have been. The usual crowd of 

 spectators were on hand, and we had four visitors from Industry, 

 Pa. The day was daik. Match No. 1, 10 bluerocks, 3 traps, Key-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.— The Lincoln Gun Club held its 

 second medal shoot for the present season at Alameda Point to- 

 day. This club is the oldest and largest in the State, It was 

 organized first in 1877, and commenced shooting at glass balls in 

 Colma. When the Ligowsky clay-pigeon was introduced the club 

 at once gave up the glass balls and adopted the clay discs. Four 

 years ago the grounds were changed to Alameda Point, as the 

 pious Colma folks objected to the noise on Sundays. Last season 

 the Lincoln Club kept pace with the times and took to the Cleve- 

 land bluerocks, yvhich appear to give every satisfaction. The 

 match to-day was for the first and second class medals at 20 single 

 bluerocks, 18yds. rise, International rules to govern. In the first 

 class the scores were plentifully sprinkled with duck eggs, the 

 shooting on the whole being away below the usual average 

 Scovern won the first class medai. Richter took the leather 

 medal with 7. C. Mellish won the medal last month with 15 breaks

 ning for the second time with two breaks. The medal shoots

 The Blue Rock Club has made arrangements with the Lincoln 

 to have the use of its grounds for three days in each week. The 

 grounds are hard to shoot on as the background is bad, and the 

 shiny dust, composed of broken shells, is very apt to dazzle the 

 eye. After the medal shoots had been decided, pool si ootiug was 

 in order, aud a 10 bird sweepstake, $2 entrance, was staitsd with 

 11 shooters. Gate and Campbell divided first and second money

SHARP TEAM MATCH.— Great excitement has prevailed for 

 the past month or more among trap shooters of western Pennsyl- 

 vania, over a live-bird match which was made between James 

 Clark, Francis Reinoehl, and Wiufield Bock, all of Lebanon, Pa 

 against A. C. Krueger. of Wrightsville, Pa.; Wm. Fieles, of Chris- 

 tiana, Pa., and Chas. Franciscus, of Columbia, Pa. The match 

 was made for $75 a side, aud forfeits were posted a month ago 

 The match came off on Decoration Day at Mount Gretna. The 

 entire match was shot and finished in two hours, and no dispute 

 occurred to mar I he pleasantness of the affair. The match was 

 at 25 birds each, Rhode Island rules to govern with exception of 

 boundary. There was no boundary, three minutes to- gather 

 birds. The birds were an excellent lot for this time of year. Mr 

 Krueger used a 10-guuge L. C. hammerless, and 24 of his 25 were 

 hard, clean kills; only one flew a thort distance after being shot. 

 Mr. Fieles commenced with his own gun and ammunition, a 12- 

 gauge Greener hammerless, and wood powder shells, and lost four 

 birds out of his first six, and then changed off and shot Mr 

 Krueger's f 80 gun and ammunition, and killed his next 19 straight. 

 The resul t cannot be attributed to any luck on the part of the 

 winners, for the losers were rather favored by a majority of 

 easy birds, incomers, etc. Difficult shots were made by all, but 

 especially fine shots were made by Ktueger, Bock and Franciscus. 

 The following are the scores in total: 



A C Krueger 25 James Clark 21 



W R Fieles 21 F Reinoehl 20 



C Franciscus 19—65 W Bock 22-1®
