Shell Mound Record Breaking. 



San Francisco, Junell.-The Columbia Pistol ^ fl « CI » b 'l i 

 bit of record breaking yesterday at Shell Mound ™°Sf; °E\°^ 

 one of the young men of this new but promising organization made a 

 score of 97 in a pistol competition. Only a few weeks ago A. H Pape, 

 another of the younger members, registered a score quite as ( meri- 

 torious as Daiss's in the total number of credits but of interior 

 quanty^ the judgment of marksmen who look "V^onnditioZat 

 Creedmoor standpoint. Pape score 97 under the same cond twns as 

 DalSS did yesterday, but unfortunately for the fo^er f ^ r A™ h ^ 

 string of Daiss's registering shows a greater number of »o4 «B« 

 the end than the 10 shot scores of Pape. It, is believed that the record 

 made by Daiss yesterday is the best ever recorded m a pistol compe- 

 tition on the Pacific Coast. Whether it will continue to be such for 

 any considerable time is hardly probable, for there are j men in the 

 Columbia Club who are doing some rare target hitting these days. 

 The Columbia is a new club, but already one of the foremost,) ind 

 what is more gratifying than anything else is the fact that it is sur- 

 prisingly fruitful of better results at every monthly meeting. Among 

 the Columbia Cracks are such meii as Kellogg, Young Kuh nle, 

 Rodgers, Johnson, Hovev, Heeth and a host of others known as far 

 m the international prominence of California marksmanship extends. 



The score made by Daiss yesterday was shot on the oOyd. range at a 



CM d D a ;{ S s AnleriCan tarS6 ! i Sh °. WS . W T 9$ T f loloW-W 

 On the same target and in this contest F. O. Young scored 91, L. O. 

 Rodgers 91, S. I. Kellogg 88, A. Baumgartner 84, F. Gehret 78, Kennedy 



' in the pistol contest by club members the scores m the champion 

 class were these: C. M. Daiss 90. S. I. Kellogg 88, Smith Carr 86, %. 

 Hovey 84 In the first class A. H. Pape registered 89, L. O. Koager& 

 86, F. Gehret 85, A. Baumgartner 81, and P. Bohr 63. Among the sec- 

 ond class men and those unclassified D. M. McLaughlin scored 8b, J . 

 Kuhnle 82, A. Gehret 72, A. H. Kennedy 68, A. Fetz 59, Vaugh o6. 



With the rifle at 200yds. these scores were made by marksmen in the 

 champion class: L. O. Rodgers 85, D. McLaughlin 84, F. O. ^oung 83. 

 In the first class F. Baumgartner recorded 86, A. H. Pape 87, A. Gehret 

 78 F Gehret 71, A. Bohr 75 The men of the second class were suc- 

 cessful to this extent: C. M. Daiss 65, L. Zimmerman 64, A. Kennedy 

 59, A. Fetz 57. , 



Between these many contests the Columbians contrived to insert 

 another of considerable interest for the Boos medal. In this affair F. 

 O Young scored 89, L. O. Rodgers 84. F. Gehret 80, A. Gehret 78, and 



Andv Johnson led the Columbia Club men in a Springfield rifle 

 match for the Glinderman meoal with 79 rings, Young second with r8,

Newark Shooting Society. 



The Newark Shooting Society, after its late reorganization, decided 

 to hold an opening practice shoot on June 14, in the Schuetzen Park. 

 Invitations were sent out to our local shooters to come and participate. 



Knowing that this old society had been in a state of inactivity for a 

 long time, our rifle promoters, upon hearing of the proposed opening, 

 decided to put In an afternoon with the society. 



Our arrival in the park had some disappointment in store for us. 

 We found three members of the Newark society on hand to receive the 

 visitors. 



The visitors outside of the Forest and Stream contingent consisted 

 Of two enthusiasts from Jersey City, Messrs. Haunen and Varick. 



We found many improvements in the park since our last visit. One 

 of the most prominent features in connection with the park improve- 

 ments is the improved facilities of transportation to and from the 

 park. It is now possible for the New York riflemen to reach the park 

 from New York in less than one hour. 



The half-dozen shooters who were gathered in the park on Thursday 

 devoted their time to practice and pool shooting. A friendly 10 shot 

 race between Messrs. Hansen and Hayes resulted in the following 

 scores: 



Hansen.. 22 25 22 23 23 21 18 23 20 23-220 



Hayes 21 21 20 19 22 20 20 23 20 24-210 



Mr. Hayes has not had any off-hand practice for maDy months and 

 he is consequently off in form. 



After the above match three shot pools were indulged in by all hands 

 present, with the following results: Hansen, 66 68 66 70 : Hayes 64 

 70 69 63; Plaisted, 64 51 64; Wigman, 64 69; Bernhardt, 56 51 • Dietz

RIFLE NOTES. 



The thirty-seventh annual festival and prize shoot of the New York 

 Schuetzen Corps which takes place in the Union Hill Park on Wednes- 

 day and Thursday of this week, should be the means of bringing to- 

 gether a large number of our local marksmen. A programme of $500 

 is decidedly liberal in these hard times. It will certainly give some of 

 our experts an opportunity to make their carfare. 



The. Brooklyn Schuetzen Corps will hold a two-days' festival and 

 prize shoot in Glendale Park on Wednesday and Thursday of this 

 week. The shoot is open only to invited guests. 



The Greenville Club of Greenville, N. J., will send a team to Port- 

 chester, N. Y.. June 30, to engage in a team match with the Port- 

 chester Club. 



The return of the members of the New York Independent Corps 

 from the Adirondacks last week is said to have developed an in- 

 creased demand for black fly and mosquito remedies. The Jersey 

 members report a new experience in their acquaintance with the Adi- 

 rondack species. One of the members has drawn an interesting 

 word picture of Barney Zettler seated upon a stump on the shore of 

 Lake Saranac trying to coax a woodchuck out of his home with a 

 pretzel. 



Akmbruster'h Greenville Schuetzen Park has fine facilities for salt- 

 water bathing. Bath houses are located foot of park, on Newark Bay 

 shore.— Adv.

Little Rock, June 15.— Please announce in the next issue of your 

 paper that -the Little Rock Shooting Association tournament on July 

 5 and 6, will be open to all. There will be $100 in cash added to the 

 purses. Shooters will be divided into two classes, experts and ama- 

 teurs. Experts will shoot known traps, unknown angles; amateurs 

 will shoot known traps, known angles; American Association rules to 

 govern; four and five moneys. Bluerock targets and expert traps 

 will be used. The interstate drill will then be in progress here; this 

 will give the shooters the benefit of the reduced railroad rate, one fare 

 for the round trip from nearly all parts of the country. Although the 

 city will be crowded with visitors, special arrangements have been 

 made with the Capital Hotel, which will be headquarters for shooters, 

 for the accommodation of all sportsmen attending the tournament. 

 For full particulars and programmes address Paul R. Litzke. 



Binghamton, N. Y., June 6.— Judging from the numerous inquiries, 

 we are to have a full house during our tournament on June 28 and 29, 

 and we can see no reason why not, as facilities for reaching here from 

 any point are superb. Our grounds are located on electric line, cars 

 every seven minutes. We have secured special rates for visiting 

 shooters at the leading hotels. We have a sky background. The 

 management have decided to give a Lefever hammeriess gun to the 

 shooter mahing the best average in the two days' shoot. We also 

 have a number of other merchandise pr izes. The shoot will be under 

 the personal supervision of Will H. Cruttenden. Price of targets, 2 

 cents. We have a large club here and what they lack in skiff they 

 make up in enthusiasm. The management is also trying hard to get a 

 few hundred good live birds, and if successful they will be used at the 

 tournament. Winioeld. 



Two proof-readers passed an error in the copy of Von Lengerke & 

 Detmold's advertisement in our last week's issue, whereby 85-cent cans 

 of Walsrode were erroneously listed at 35 cents. The error has caused 

 the firm considerable trouble, as there has been a large demand for 

 the powder. Every one interested in Walsrode should send for a copy 

 of the circular giving directions for loading, etc. 



The monthly team contest of the New Jersey Traf) Shooters' 

 League will be held at Springfield on June 26 in conjunction with an 

 all-day tournament of the Union Gun Club. The fun will begin at 10 

 A M. and continue until dark. The match for the State prizes, for 

 5-inen teams, will be called at 2 P. M. Take M. & E. Railroad to Mill-
