SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.— There was a very big attendance 

 of the lovers of target shooting at Harbor View to-day, and con- 

 siderable enthusiasm was manifested during the afternoon. A 

 majority of those present were members of the California Sehuet- 

 zen Club and the San Francisco Turners' Schuetzen Club. It was 

 the closing day's trial of the year in the former club, and only 

 those members who had entered in seven of the twelve monthly 

 contests of 1888 were allowed to compete in the contest for the 

 prizes in the five classes. For each of these classes a trophy of 

 the value of $25 was offered. The result was as follows, the 

 names given being the winner in each class: Champion class— A. 

 Johnson, 429 rings; first class — J. E. Klein, -110; second class, C. 

 Thierbach, 382: third class— H. Guembel, 356; fourth class — A. 

 Dtschig, 374. The San Francisco Turners' Schuetzen Club was 

 represented by some 40 members who competed for medals and 

 money prizes. The club medal for December was won by R. Fink- 

 ing, Sr. The shooting for the money prizes resulted as follows: 

 H. Brown 59 rings, J. Utschig 57, R. Finking, Sr., 51, A. Ctsehig 18, 

 C. Sagehorn 47, O. Buimeister 46, L. Tbierbauk 46, F. Utinger 44, 

 H. Enge 44, F. Acker 43. R. Finking, Jr., 42, F. Miller 38, L. Brime 

 33, H. Turk 22. 



There was a good day's sport at the Shell Mound rifle range to- 

 day, and some fairly good scores were made. The shooting began 

 at 9 A. M. and lasted the entire day. The most interesting thing 

 of the day was a match between CSapt. R. J. Lougherv and Corp. 

 H. L. Pendleton, the latter allowing the Captain 25 points in 50 

 shots. The score was as follows: 



Loughery 4443344345-38 Pendleton 4534354444- 40

THE DECORATION DAY TROPHY, 



IN order to afford a general test of shooting and assist on the 

 growing sport of trap shooting, the Forest ash Stream 

 offered a §100 cup to be shot for on Decoration Day, 1887. Ample 

 and timely notice was given of the conditions, and a number of 

 clubs made scores, a tie for first place resulted, and after several 

 attempts at shooting it off, the Forest and Stream secured con- 

 sent from the leading clubs for a division of the value of the cup 

 and checks were sent accordingly. This left the cup in the hands 

 of Forest and Stream, and with the opening of the year a new 

 offer of the cup was determined upon. It was put up as before to 

 be shot for by small teams from any regular rifle club, and the 

 terms were made as easy as possible. Instead of concentrating 

 the shooting on one day or week, the whole season was thrown 

 open to the shooters, and in place of one test and to prevent a 

 fluke from giving prominence to a team of perhaps secondary 

 merit, the best three in five scores was to determine the winner 

 The detailed conditions were printed and scattered. There were 

 many inquiries and at first it looked as though the list of entries 

 was to be a large one. Some clubs sent the entry fee of $10 per 

 team only to withdraw it before the date for the first shoot. The 

 opening shooting day arrived with four entries on the match list 

 Two of the entries came from one club, but the club men failed to 

 get together to shoot within the time specified, and the entry fee 

 was of course forfeited. This left $40 in the pot for money prizes 

 with the cup to go to the leading team. 



The teams remaining in the contest under these conditions 

 ™ er £ *e Parkersburg (West Va.) Gun Club and the Delhi Gun 

 Club, of Cleves Ohio. The report from the several shoots of the 

 Parkersburg Club were as follows:

 Accompanying the record of the Delhi Club's shoot was the 

 following note from its managing director: Cleves, O., Dec. 17, 

 1888.— Editor Forest and Stream: Sir— In accordance with your 

 order 1 got my team together Saturday afternoon to shoot off the 

 tie for Decoration Day Trophy, and herewith send you the sco: e 

 made. You will see Harrell missed his 50th hird. Whitlock his 

 104th, breaking 103; McFee broke 112, when it got too dark to 

 shoot, and the judge called the shoot to be continued Monday the 

 17th. We got together at 3 P. M., and McFee continued his shoot. 

 It was a drizzly, dark afternoon, and when he had broken 93 with- 

 out a miss it became so dark the judges decided it was too dark 

 to continue, but I objected to again continuing the shoot and he 

 quit, and I send you the certified score of each day separate: 

 First day— Harrell 49, Whitlock 103, McFee 113, total 364. Second 

 day— McFee 92, grand total 356. 



The shooting off of the tie closes the contest, with first prize of 

 the cup to the Delhi Gun Club, and the $40 to the Parkersburg

CAPT. BREWER IN ENGLAND.— The American marksman 

 reached England on Wednesday, Nov. 28, and or. the day follow, 

 ing was at the open meeting of the Union Gun Club at Hendon 

 near London. A correspondent writes of the shoot on Nov. 31 

 aud Dec. 1: The principal event, the Eighth Great Handicap 

 Sweepstakes of £5 each, with £100 added, brought together fifty, 

 four competitor, but owing to darkness rapidly setting in on 

 Thursday only five birds each were shot at. Consequently it was 

 decided to make an early start on Dec. 1, as nine more* rounds 

 had to be completed, and shortly after 11 o'clock the. first name 

 was called up to resume the contest for the prize. The birds, 

 owing to the wretched state of the weather, were somewhat slow 

 on the wing, therefore many kills were recorded, misses being 

 few and far between. As the contest approached its termination 

 great interest was evinced in the shooting, and the fine form 

 shown by Mr. Jackson (26yds. rise) and Capt. Brewer (32) evoked 

 rounds of applause. It was the general opinion that not one of 

 the competitors would succeed in grassing all their rocks, but 

 contrary to expectations, Mr. Jackson and Capt. Brewer scored 

 the allotted number, the former gentleman being successful in 

 both bis chances. It was agreed to share the proceeds, amount- 

 ing to £297, Mr. Jackson taking two-thirds of this amount and 

 Capt. Brewer the remaining third. Both sportsmen were wai-mly 

 congratulated on their success, and it is a long time since such a 

 capital exhibition of shooting has been witnessed. Capt. Brewer 

 has undoubtedly proved himself to be a marksman of great abil- 

 ity, aud his victory is all the more meritorious considering that 

 he was standing on the 32yds. mark, giving in several instances 

 8yds. away. Mr. Jackson also has every reason to be proud of 

 the victory he has achieved. Mr. Jackson hails from Salop, New- 

 port. The afternoon was devoted to shooting £2 sweepstakes, and 

 in t hese the recipients of the pools were Messrs. Edwards, Worth, 

 J. Woolley, Beasant, Wrient and Willis. Mr. Studd, who divided 

 a £2 sweepstakes at 35yds. rise with Mr. J. Smalley on Thursday, 

 handled a gun by E. M. Reilly & Co., of Oxford street. Mr. H. C, 

 Dillion officiated as referee and scorer throughout the meeting, 

 which passed off most satisfactorily. It is decided to hold a 

 similar gathering in Febuary next. Score of the principal event: 

 Eighth great open handicap sweepstakes of £5 each, with £100 

 added, at 15 birds each, 51 subscribers.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 30.— Shooting matches are gettiug to be very 

 fashiouable in this section. They are all the rage. To-dav there

 between Capt. W. Cromwell and Drs. Griswold and Van Schaick, 

 both of New York city. The following is the score:

 large crowd which had gathered to witness the sport ad journed 

 to an open lot near Washington Hotel, where a cla v-pigeon shoot- 

 iug match for sweeps was gotten up. There were three contests. 

 Very poor work was done in the first two, but in the last the chase 

 was very hot and exciting. The score:

ALGONQUIN GUN CLUB.-New York, Dec. 21. -Editor Forest 

 nnd Stream: The Algonquin Gun Club, of this city, probably one 

 of the oldest, and without doubt one of the most prosperous gun 

 clubs in this immediate vicinity— its charter dating back to 1876 

 (centennial year)— celebrated its twelvth anniversary in a most 

 appropriate and becoming manner last evening at 341 West 

 Forty-seventh street, the. occasion being also the annual election 

 of officers for the ensuing year. The election resulted in the 

 unanimous choice of the following gentlemen: President, Mr. 

 Louis Brenner; Vice-President, Mr. Joseph Hanna; Secretary, 

 Dr. Geo. G. Van Schaick; Corresponding Secretary, Mr. E. IL 

 Fox; Treasurer, Dr, H. Griswold: Captain, Mr. Henry Radiinsky: 

 Board of Trustees, Messrs. Robert Gordon, W. H. Purdy and 

 Frank Rinn. After listening to the encouraging reports from the 

 Secretary and treasurer for 1888, testifying that our club had more 

 than held its own both financiaUy and m point of membership, 

 and in arranging an impromptu live bird match to he shot next 

 month, two teams being selected from the members present— of 

 which more anon— the members adjourned to the dining room to 

 partake of the inviting repast there spread in honor of the occasion. 

 That the eatables and drinkables were good and toothsome the 

 empty dishes bore ample testimony when the feast was over. 

 Among the changes to be made next year by the A. G. O. is the 

 substitution of either the Keystone trap and targets or the blue- 

 rock, probably the former, in place of the American clay-bird and 

 targets. We can report the outlook, so far as we are concerned 

 as a gun Iclub, very bright and encouraging for the year 1889. 

 VV isbing the Forest and Stream a very merry Christmas and a 

 happy New Year, and many of them, the members departed in 

 the "wee small hours.— E. H. F."
