WALNUT HILL, Oct. 29 -It was a wet and tired, hut jolly 

 crowd ot shotgun men that left this range co-night at the close of 

 the day s shootiag. More disagreeable weather conditions hardly 

 could have been provided, but everybody was out for fun, and 

 grumbling was ruled out hy a unanimous vote. In the shootins? 

 for the diamond pins, Mr. Black went to the front with a rush 

 His score ot 29 birds out of a possible SO is the highest vet 

 recorded m tins series of competitions, and entitles him to deco- 

 rate himself with the championship medal until the shoigunmen 

 hold their next meeting. Not content with this victory Mr Black- 

 also won the competition for the. Key-tone trophv, allowing but 

 one bird to escape out of 20 at which he shot. The Vummarv-

CHEYENNE FLATS SHOOT. 



Great Bend, Kan., Oct. 24.— During the progress of the run- 

 nings in the meeting of the American Coursing Club this week, a 

 pleasant little shooting tournament was held near the club house 

 on the Cheyenne Flats, Mr. D. Hugh Halladay and Mr. F. E. 

 Smith, of this city, being the moving spirits. Of course the shoot- 

 ing had to cease at such times as the crowds of horsemen and 

 vehicles were a bout the club house, bur when the dogs were in 

 the field the guns went to work, and quite a number of events 

 were worked off. The wind was quite strong over the plains, 

 which made the live-bird shooting rather more difficult, though 

 the birds were not an extra strong lot of flyers. Blueroek targets 

 were used under A. S. A. rules. The Cheyenne Flats a decade or 

 two ago were covered with buffalo, and within the lines of the 

 boundary flags, or under the flight of the artificial targets, were 

 more than one buffalo wallow still plainly visible. Such is sport 

 to-dav. On the whole, this little shoot is interesting for the cir- 

 cumstances that surround it, as well as for itself. Score: 

 Wednesday, Oct. 2%.

 birds per man, gun helow the elbow until the bird is on the wing,

 least 30 per cent, of the birds out of the short boundary, though 

 hard hit. Referee, Mr. Cordt Busch of the Jeannette Gun Club. 

 Judge for Eurekas, Mr. John Maesel, Jr., of the champion Emerald 

 Gun Club team; judge for Algonquins, Mr. Frank Rinn of that 

 club, ihe losing team have always shot gun helow the armpit, 

 and needed a continual warning to keep the butt of the gun in its 

 proper place. The opposing team were veterans at that style of 

 shooting, including some of the best known Long Island rule shots 

 111 this vicinity, though they won by but one bird:

Yachtsmen who do not see what they want under this heading 

 will please look under the hatches of the Canoe, peep into the 

 Kennel, squint down the barrel of the Rifle, open the Fish Car and

NIELS OLSEN.

FEW men are better known in yachting circles than Niels 

 Olsen, the superintendent of the New York Y. C. For nine- 

 teen years he has been on duty in the New York Y. C.'s house, 

 keeping the affairs of the club in ship-shape order generally, and 

 to-day any man who does not know Superintendent Olsen may be 

 put down as not being possessed with that useful part of the 

 anatomy known in the yachtsman's phraseology as " sea legs." 



Ever since he was 18 years old— and he is now 55— Mr. Olsen has 

 had more or less to do wit h vessels in one way or another. He was 

 born in Chn'stiansand, Norway, June 11, 1S35, and he went to sea 

 early in 1853. After making several short voyages in foreign 

 waters he sailed to this country as a deck hoy ano deserted his 

 ship at Pier 8 North River on her arrival here, going over to 

 Brooklyn, where he fell in with the sailing master of the schooner 

 yacht Norma, owned by Alexander Major. Olsen shipped aboard 

 this yacht as cook and cabin boy at a salary of $5 a month and 

 board, and remained in the employ of the Norma's owner until 

 1864, when he got a berth aboard the schooner yacht Widgeon, 

 owned by F. Osgood. 



After two seasons of sailing close to shore Mr. Olsen went aboard 

 the steamship New York, plying between this port and Central 

 America, and in this vessel he remained thirteen months, until he 

 contracted a fever and went to St. Luke's Hospital for three 

 weeks. That was early in 1867. When he recovered from his ill- 

 ness he took to yachting again and secured a berth as steward of 

 the schooner Fleetwing, sailing in her ocean race against the 

 schooners Vesta and Henrietta for $90 000. Leaving his place on 

 the Fleetwing in the fall of 1867, Mr. Olsen got a job ashore watch- 

 ing Spanish gunboats at the foot of West Thirteenth street while 

 they were fitting out to be used in quelling a rebellion in Cuba. 



The next year Mr. Olsen went to sea again, shipping on a vessel 

 bound for China. In March, 1869, he shipped as mate of the old 

 schooner Magic, and sailed in her international races for the 

 America's Cup, after which he took up newspaper work, doing 

 marine reporting for a local paper for two years. In February. 

 1871, he went as mate of the schooner Columbia, sailing in her 

 international races also. 



It was in November, 1871, that Mr. Olsen assumed his present 

 duties. The New York Y. C. was then anchored on the northwest 

 comer of Twenty-seventh street and Madison avenue. In 1884 the 

 club shifted its quarters to 67 Madison avenue, its present berth, 

 and if any one will take the trouble to visit the famous model 

 room of the club he will find there on every side evidences of 

 Superintendent Olsen's faithfulness and love for his work. 



No man could go through such a life as has been briefly outlined 

 here without having a host of interesting experiences, and al- 

 though it is hard work to draw much out of Superintendent Olsen, 

 when he has anything to say on yachting or other nautical mat- 

 ters, there are alwavs plenty of yachtsmen glad to listen. It is 

 quite a commou thing for yachtsmen to say, "We'll leave it to Mr. 

 Olsen," when in an argument about debatable questions as to 

 '•Who won," and it is seldom that they cannot have disputes of 

 this nature speedily settled by this authority. 



Mr. Olsen has the history of American yachting within easy 

 reach, from the organization of the New York Y. C. to the present 

 time. He has a complete record of all the vessels which have ever 

 been enrolled on the club's yacht list, including alterations in 

 their hulls, changes of ownership, alterations in the machinery of 

 steam yachts, and other details; and he is at present at work on a 

 book which, when completed, will contain a correct and concise 

 account of every race with which the New York Y. C. has been 

 identified. He expects to have this book finished about Jan. 1. 

 1891— New York Times.
