298 FOREST AND STREAM. [May i, ism. 



SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.— One of the greatest rifle contests 

 of the year, the annual prize shoo* of the German Schuetzen 

 Club, took place at Harbor View range to-day. A large majority 

 of the best shots on the coast were present, and the sharp compe- 

 tition made the scores unusually good. During the morning the 

 shooters banged away quietly and methodically, and as usual, 

 when excitement is lacking, no phenomenal "tickets" were made, 

 thouah the averages were good. In the afternoon, however, as 

 the time approached when the targets were to be pulled down, 

 the excitement rose to a fever heat, and every marksman exerted 

 himself to the utmost to make the top score. At 8 o'clock Wm. 

 Glmdetnaun held the best ticket at 93, and the indications were 

 that he would carry off the first prize. Soon afterward, however, 

 a prolonged shout of exultation announced a new champion, and 

 Adolph H tracker, the champion shot of the California Schuetzen 

 Club, held up to view a ticket with 94 inscribed at the bottom. 

 Though nearly all continued to fire away, it was conceded that 

 this was a phenomenal score and not liable to be beaten. A vet- 

 eran rifleman, who has wielded a peep-sight gun for many years, 

 and whose nerve and eye are unfailing, was present, however, and 

 now began to shoot as though his life depended upon it. His 

 trusty Winchester was cleaned out, and armed with afresh ticket 

 he began his onslaught upon tbe targets. His first shot, a 25- 

 ringer, was greeted with cheers, and nerved by success he fired 

 again. This time he scored 23, and It was apparent except for an 

 unforeseen accident, he would equal, if not exceed, Streeker's 

 score. Another 23 rewarded the. third pull on the trigger, and 

 Strecker breathed a sigh of relief, for it would take 33 more rings 

 to tie bis score, while 24 was requisite to win. The rifleman was 

 calm and steady, however, and drew the rifle slowly to his eye. 

 An instant of suspense, a report, a cloud of smoke, the flutter of 

 a small red flag across the face of the target and all was over. He 

 had made 96. Shouts of "Kuhulel" Kuhnle!" rent the air, and 

 Fred Kuhnle. the veteran, was hauled and mauled about the floor 

 of the stand by his friends, all anxious to congratulate him on his 

 wonderful score. Ticket shootiug was almost given up, and as 

 the time for closing was near, the marksmen exerted themselves 

 to make the last ballseye and 25-ringer, and Philo Jacoby made 

 the dead center within a, few moments of the close, but an insta,ut 

 later Geo. Helm landed a bullet within the 25-ring and his shot 

 was not. beaten. On the last 25-ring shot depended a casli prize 

 and a handsome silver salver and fork, donated by the owner of 

 the park. After an hour spent in banqueting and speech-making 

 the shooting tickets were compared, the best scores picked out, 

 and the prizes, ranging from $25 down to $1, distributed. In this 

 contest over 2,000 shots were fired, and the affair was a decided 

 success, both financially and otherwise. 



JERSEY CITY, N. J., April 22.— Considering that inanv of the

CLAREMONT SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. 



"YTEW YORK, April 26.— After much discussion pro and con we 

 have started in on live bird shooting. Our tournament began 

 yesterday with an all-day shoot at live birds. The center blue- 

 rock traps were removed, together with the stands and screens. 

 The screens were removed from the platforms to the eastward 

 and westward, and lo, we had as good a place to plant live bird 

 traps and shoot at their inmates as can be found in the country. 

 As fast as shot the birds were retrieved and the wounded killed, 

 and everv detail looking to the comfort and safety of shoot ers 

 and their friends was carefully carried out. No scouts were al- 

 lowed, and here is one ground where the spectators and shooters 

 are not in danger of bodily injury from the fusilade of outsiders. 

 A policeman was on hand all day, but no case of disorder needed 

 his attention. There was the nucleus of a big crowd to-day, but 

 the rain bad the promise and potency of being wet, and most of 

 our would-be contestants stayed away. 



Saturday was a day like unto Friday, and the crockery smashers 

 had to fight it out with the rain trickling down their backs and 

 running off their guns. The old soldiers were eager to get under 

 cover and near the stove. However, we had a good tournament 

 and fervently hope for better weather next time. Ad Vancjd.

 port 5. Fisbpr 4 and Lindsley 3: second. Class 4, Rose 4, Davenport

 John Dunmire and .ludge Kennedy were elected to membership! 

 A resolution in memory of the late (Teneral George Crook was 

 read and passed. He was a member of the Omaha Gun Club, and 

 the stirviving members of the club declared their sympathy in 

 that they had lost a faithful companion: the nation a great chief- 

 tain; the people a good citizen; the world a great man, and our 

 club an honorable sportsman. The club's regular weekly shoot 

 took place this afternoon, resulting as follows, 25 bluerocks, 5 

 traps, 18yds. rise: 



Parmelee 24 Dunmire 23 Small 33

 shoot of the Corry Gun Club. The improved Keystone traps were 

 used for the first time and gave the best of satisfaction, although 

 they were wound up to th row pretty hard, which perhaps accounts 

 for the poor scores of some of the members. With the exception 

 of a gust of wind now and then the weather was pretty fair-

AUBURN, April 23.— The Onondaga Sportsmen's Club won an 

 exciting match with the Auburn Gun Club, at Auburn to-day. 

 There was a dispute as to the result, Syracuse claiming to be the 

 victor and Auburn insisting the score was a tie, but before the 

 Syracusans returned home they discovered after a careful ex- 

 amination of the score that they, were the winners by two birds. 

 The shoot, which was at 25 birds each, was witnessed by a large 

 crowd. A hot lunch was served on the grounds and after the 

 shoot a supper was given to the visiting marksmen. Following is

EXCELSIOR GUN CLUB.— The newly organized Excelsior 

 Gun Club are to give a three davs' tournament on their grounds 

 at Pearl River, N. Y.. on May 6, 7 and 8. The first two davs will 

 be devoted to bluerocks and the last day to live birds only. The 

 grouuds are located a t Pearl River station, and are reached via 

 New Jersey and New York R. R. from the fo jt of Chambers street. 



A BIG JERSEY SHOOT. -The long talked of matoh between 

 teams of fifteen men, from the Newark and Middlesex Gun Clubs 

 has been finally arranged, and May 15 has been decided upon as 

 the date. The grounds of the Middlesex Club, at Dunellen, N. J., 

 will be the scene of the contest. The meeting will be the shooting 

 event of the year, as both clubs are recognized as having the 

 strongest live bird shots in the county among their members. The 

 conditions of the match are, 15 men a side, at 10 live birds each, 

 modified Hnrliugham rules to govern, the losers to pay for birds. 



THE MIDDLESEX SHOOT. — Dunellen, N. J., April 23.— Beau- 

 tiful weather favored the sportsmen who were in attendance to- 

 day at the second April shoot of the Middlesex Gun Club. The 

 events were open to all, and a mixed programme was shot off, 

 bluerock targets and live birds being used, the live bird shootiug 

 being the feature of the day's sport. The attendance was not as 

 In .1 -go as is usually seen at these popular grounds, but those who 

 participated enjoyed a good day's sport. There were plenty of 

 live birds on band. The scores: 



Event No. 1, 9 bluerocks, American Association rules, unknown 

 angles, 3 traps: Brantingham broke 7 and took first money, Tee 

 Kay second with 6, D. H. Nevious and Dr. Ziglio div. third, 4 each. 



No. 2, same conditions: Brantingham 9, Tee Kay 8, Manning 

 and Ziglio 6. 



No. 3, same conditions: E. D. Miller vi, Ziglio 8, Tee Kay 7. 



No. 4, same conditions: Miller 9, Ziglio 8, Tee Kay 7. 



No. 5, 10 bluerocks, rapid firing system: Miller and Branting- 

 ham first with '9, Tee Kay, Dr. Clark and H. Wallace 8 each, B, 

 Manning 7. 



No. 6, same conditions: Tee Kay 10, Miller and Dr. Clark 9, 

 Wallace and Brantingham 7. 



No. 7, Tee Kay and Miller 10, Dr. Clark 9, Wallace and Van 

 Sickle 8. 



The conditions of the next event were somewhat novel, and 

 were modeled after the plan of live bird shooling. The contest- 

 ants were moved back to 30yds., and a break with the second bar- 

 rel only scored one-half. A match of this nature is somewhat 

 more difficult than the usual style, and seems to meet with favor 

 by a majority of the contestants. 



No 8, 30yds. rise, both barrels allowed, second to count one-half: 

 Tee Kay first with using his second once. Miller second with 

 7, using his second four times, Wallace third with 6, first barrel. 



No. 9, 7 live birds, $5 entrance: Dr. Clark 7, Miller, Ziglio, D. 

 Terry and Wallace 6. Wallace withdrew the others shooting out 

 the tic in th" next event; it was won by Miller. Third was div. 

 by Darby and J. Hack. 



No. 10, 7 live birds, $5 entrance: Miller 7, Darby 6, Ziglio, Hack 

 and Clark 4 div. 



No. 11, 4 live birds, $3 entrance, two moneys: Miller and Terry 

 4 div. Second was tied for by 8. G. Smith, Ziglio, Darby and Ap- 

 gar. The tie was shot off miss and out. Ziglio missed his first 

 and retired. S. G. Smith missed his second. Darby and Apgar 

 shot round after round until the eighth, when Darby missed and 

 retired, leaving Apgar to take the money. 



DAYTON, O., April 25— The Kennel Gun Club held the first

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.— Eighteen members of the San 

 Francisco Gun Club attended the third shoot of the season at the 

 Oakland track to-day. A pleasant afternoon was enjoyed and good 

 sport witnessed. Tbe birds were a strong lot and flew with great 

 rapidity from the traps. The best record so far is that of John 

 K. Orr, who came out at the bead of to-day's score. Ed Donohue 

 did well for so young a shooter and gives promise to be among the 

 foremost in the seasons to follow. Not a few of the shooters found 

 it difficult to see a white bird as it left the trap on account of the 

 reflection of the sunlight upon a white fence m the background, 

 for which reason several birds were lost to the shooters. The 

 sportsmen will have the color changed before another match. The 

 score for the day follow*:
