Notes from San Francisco. 
San Francisco, Cal., June 3.— The local riflemen have been all agog 
for ten days in anticipation of a contest for a round-trip ticket to the 
great shooting festival next month in New York. One of our large 
daily papers offered a ticket to the contestant making the highest 
number of points on the regulation point target in 200 shots— the 
match to be shot on Decoration Day at Schuetzen Park, between 10 
A. M. and 6 P. M. .These terms, which were arranged by a strong 
partisan of the Schuetzen Club Park Range, were not satisfactory to 
several of our leading marksmen, whereupon the newspaper referred 
to offered to give another ticket to any marksman who might at a 
second contest, to be held at Shell Mound Range, make a score larger 
than the highest made at Schuetzen Park. In accordance with these 
Depositions about a dozen riflemen competed at Schuetzen Park on 
May 30, and three at Shell Mound June 1. A. Strecker led at Schuet- 
zen Park with 347 points, but was beaten by F. 0. Young at Shell 
Mound Range on June 1 by the narrow margin of 2 points. Nearly 
all our best local shots competed at one or the other range, but the 
great exertion of lifting a heavy Schuetzen rifle so many hundred 
times in a few hours told heavily on many of the shooters 
The result : F. O. Young 349, A. Strecker 347, Dr. L. O. Rodgers 321, 
D. W. McLaughlin 320, J. Ulschig 306, D. Faktor 301, F. Schuster 298. 
The others ranged down to less than 200. 
F. O. Young made the best 100-shot score— 181 points in his first 100 
shots, with only 2 shots (17s) out of the black. He and Strecker 
each made 44— 3-inch bull's eyes: Dr. Rodgers 39 and McLaughlin 36 
There will be quite a representation of California marksmen at the 
July shoot, notably Young. Strecker, Helm and probably McLaugh- 
lin. The S. F. Schuetzen Verein will be represented by several enthu- 
siastic riflemen. "While our best representatives east expect to run 
up against world-beaters, still the latter are hereby warned that they 
will not win first honors without working for them We bad hoped 
to organize a State team of eight or ten men and to have an interstate 
match arranged to take place after the close of the festival, but sev- 
eral of our best shots could not possibly get away. We envy our 
fortunate brethren who are going and unreservedly truBt the honor 
of our guild to their keeping. Roeel 
Rifle at San Antonio. 
San Antonio, Tex., June 3.— As is usually the case, the regular an- 
nual prize shoot of the San Antonio Rifle Club yesterday was a brilliant 
success. From all quarters of the Southwest riflemen came forth to 
pay tribute to the generosity and glory of the San Antonio organiza- 
tion. The utmost good feeling prevailed throughout, and the visitors 
were loud in their praises of the efficient management. Prominent 
among the visitors was Mr. Ed Steves, of Saltilla, Mexico. Mr. Steves 
is an old member, of the San Antonio Club and cherishes his member- 
ship as dearly as any San Antonian. His shooting shows that h.: has 
not forgotten the art of holding the gun straight or of pulling the trig- 
ger at the proper time. 
Prize shoot, 200yds., rest, 10 shots per man: Albert Unl 103. E. Steves

Ross is Shooting Well. 
As Fred C. Ross, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is booked to meet A, J. Van- 
deusen of Winona, Minn., the following from the Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle 
of May 30 will be read with interest: 
"Champion Fred C Ross, of this city, still leads in the Zettler Rifle 
Club outdoor tournament and in the bi-monthly shoot, which took place 
yesterday at Cypress Hills park, he again carried off the honors. 
• There were tweniy-three competitors in the race yesterday, the larg- 
est number yet seen at the scores since the tournament began. All 
shots were made on the 200 yard range, off hand, each man shooting 
in three series of ten shots each, his highest series to count in the to- 
tals for the tournament prizes. Ross had 230 out of a possible 250. 
H. Holger scored 229 and Henry Melville 225, while Michael J. Dorrler 
and George W. Plaisted scored 222 points each. H. D. Mueller had 220, 
M. B. Engel 218 and John Bodenstab, Bernhard Walther and P. F. 
Schmidt made 213 each. John Kronsbere scored 211 points. Bernhard 
Zettler 209, R. Busse and Ignatz Martin 208 each, and Geb. Krauss 206. 
The scores of the other competitors were below the 200 mark. 
"In the contest at the Wissell target of honor, George W. Plaisted 
made the remarkable score of 78 points out of a possible 75. Max En- 
gel was Becond with 70." 
A Shooting Gallery in London. 
London, England, June 1. — A revolver and rifle shooting gallery 
has been started in London, England, at 19 Swallow street, Piccadilly. 
The revolver competition is at 20 yards, 2-inch bull's eye. Competi- 
tors may use their own revolvers provided they have a caliber of .45 
and a trigger pull of 41bs. ; but they must shoot the ammunition pro- 
vided at the gallery, a smokeless powder, the prize being a gold 
badge given by the makers of the powder. Mr. Walter Winans is 
leading at present with a score of 40 out of a possible 42. 
Thereis also a rifle competition in progress which calls for six shots 
at 20 yards, at a bull's eye a littie over half an inch in diameter. 
Three scores have been made of 28 out of a possible 30, Mr. Winans 
being one of the makers of a 28. The rifles and ammunition are sup- 
plied at the gallery, the rifles being .22 caliber. 
All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. ' 
The tournament of the New York State Sportsmen's Association., 
which will be held at Saratoga June 24-28, is going to be a big affair. 
The set of traps for events "open to the world" will draw«outside 
shooters, while the regular State events will as usual bring out an entry 
list, that is bound to attract attention. These State shoots are an ex- 
cellent idea, bringing together, as they do annually, all the better 
class of sportsmen. Men who go to these shoots do so in the main for 
the pleasure of meeting old friends and fellow sportsmen; they are not 
there solely for "what there is in it." 
The White Plains (N. Y.) Gun Club will have an all-day sheot on the 
Fourth of July. Targets and live birds will be used. 
The Flour City Gun Club, of Minneapolis, Minn., announces a three- 
days' tournament, to commence June 20. Owing to its central location 
in a district that boasts a large number of gun clubs, the club should 
have no difficulty in obtaining a large entry list. 
The Cleveland Target Co.'s tournament next week promises to be as 
big an affair as usual. As it is the last of a series of important shoots, 
known popularly as "the circuit," Paul North can confidently look for- 
ward to the attendance of all the cracks. 
The Syracuse Gun Club will hold shoots at its Croton street grounds 
every Saturday afternoon. 
On Wednesday, June 5, Dr. Littlefield arid John Schliemann, both of 
Brooklyn, N\ Y r ., and both members of the Coney Island Rod and Gun 
Club, shot a match at 50 live birds each under Long Island rules. The 
match was brought off at Dexter Park, L. I., prior to the club shoot of 
the Coney Island Rod and Gun Club. Dr. Littlefield won easily, shoot- 
ing his opponent out on the forty-first round. Of the 41 shot at the 
doctor had killed 38, a score hard to beat under any conditions. 
The organization of the Montpelier (Vt.) Gun Club was completed a 
few days ago, thirty charter members being on the roil. Lawson C. 
Cummins was elected President; W. O. Lowe. Vice-President; J. G. 
Brown, Secretary; 0 P. Lowe, Treasurer; F. R. Dawley and W. W. 
Brock, Executive Committee; 0. O. Barrett, Captain. 
Mr. F. A. Thompson, who, like his brother, W. H., is one of the best 
shots of the Vernon Rod and Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., leaves 
to-day for St. Clair Springs, Mich. While at the Springs Mr. Thomp- 
son will try and get the better of the rheumatism from which he has 
been suffering. I hear that there are trap-shooting groubds at St. 
Clair; that being the case, both local and visiting shooters will find Mr. 
Thompson ready, willing and able to hold up his own end. 
Barring the Decoration Day shoots, affairs in trap-shooting circles 
around New York have been very quiet for three or four weeks past. 
The next event of importance in this vicinity, outside of the State 
shoot at Saratoga, will be the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League tour- 
nament at Marion, N\ J., on June 20. The shoot will be given under 
the auspices of the Endeavor Gun dub, of Jersey City.' 
Advices from Lynchburg, Va., show that the members of the home 
club are practising industriously with a view to exorcising the hoodoo 
that affects the scores. Hoodooor no hodoo, I understand that th6i e 
will be a solid delegation from that city at the Charlotte, N. O, intei- 
state shoot on Aug. 27-29. 
Although the "Fixtures" column in the Trap department of Forest 
and Stream is one of the most important items of the department, it 
is often necessarily curtailed in order that news matter may not be 
crowded out. Secretaries of gun clubs and other interested parties 
will please remember this and be lenient. 
It is a long time since any event of a similar nature has created as 
much talk as the match of Brewer vs. Birds. It was well advertised, 
the daily press giving plenty of notices. All ihe reports of big bets of 
ccurse added^to the public's interest. It is just as well to state, how- 
ever, that alfthose reports were received with incredulous smiles in 
such places where shooters "most do congregate." It is a fact, 
though, that a sum of $250 a side was actually placed ih the tempor- 
ary stakeholder's hands at the time of signing articles. 
"U. M. C." Thomas tells a good story about a local gun club at 
Bridgeport, Conn. It appears that one afternoon, at a club shoot, 
where "U. M. C." was present, one of the shooters had a shell slick in 
his gun. The shooter retired to the rear of the club house and punched 
the shell out with a stick. The next job was to get the stick out; this 
he found he could not do, as it was jammed fast. This didn't bother 
him a bit; returning to score, he inserted a shell, called "Pull," and 
fired. The target was "lost," but everybody at the score wondered, 
"Where in thunder did tbat stick come from?" Probably there are 
several shooters who can call to mind the loss of ramrods in the old 
days of muzzleloaders and birds all around them! 
The Memphis Tenn.. Gun CJub claims the second week in May 
(probably Mayl2-14) for its 1890 tournament. The club will add at 
least $2,000 in cash to the purses. 
The South Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., will hold a two-days' 
tournament on Sept. 2, 3. New Jersey League events at 3 P. M. on 
Sept. 3. 
The dates for the annual tournament of the Sportsmen's Association 
of the Northwest have been changed to June 19-22. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, HI., will hold an all-day shoot on 
its grounds, Seventy-ninth street aod Vincennes avenue, on July 4, 
The shooting will be at inanimate targets. Refreshments will be 
served all day, including a hot dinner at Schoerling's at noon. Visi- 
tors will be welcomed by the club. 
The Central Gun Club, of Dulutb, Minn., will hold its Third Annual 
tournament on July 4 and 5. 
Vr, O. L. Yoemans, secretary of the Maplewood Gun Club, writes as 
follows: '-'The Maplewood Gun Club, of Maplewood, N.J, and' the 
Peekskill Gun Club, of Peekskifl, N. Y... have arranged to shoot a series 
of team matches. The teams will consist of six men from each club, 
each man to shoot at fifty single targets. The first match takes place 
on July 4 at PeekskilL" 
The scores of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association's^tourna- 
ment are given elsewhere, having arrived too late for insertion in our 
issue of JuneS. Heikes led in the averages with a fraction over 93 
per cent. The Sixth Annual tournament of the association will te held 
at Hot Springs some time in May, lb96. 
Edward Banks. 
Trap at San Antonio. 
Judging from the performances at the ground of the San Antonio 
Gun Club every Sunday, it strikes me as a good idea for the board of 
directors of the above club to meet and establish a good plethoric 
class, A 1, and put "old man" Piety, of Texas, in it. If some one 
would then lock the door and throw the key away, the rest of the No. 1 
class in that club could scratch in some sleep for a few nights and 
might thereby be enabled to find the targets a little oftener. As a 
matter of fact, the shooting public of San Antonio is beginning, to 
suffer from a tired feeling superinduced by reading in the morning 
papers every Monday that "Piety carried off the medal in the first 
class," to say nothing about the stereotyped phrase becoming thread- 
bare. But he does it— just as regularly as the club shoots, Piety is on 
top with a large gap intervening between his score and that of the 
man next to him. 
Following are the scores made by this club June 2. Regular medal 
shoot at 30 singles: Shields 19, Smith 2i, Mc Vicar 18, Piety 29, McOor- 
mack 22, France 20, Chabot 23, Simpson 18, Learn 16, Phillips 20, Epp 
23, Thiele 20, Volbrecht 24, Grossman 14. 
Piety 1st in Class A, Volbresht 2d in Class B, Chabot 3d in Class C. 
No. 2, 15 singles: Shields 9, France 8, SimDSon 8, Learn 10, Vol- 
brecht 7, McCormack 11, Thiele 13, Grosmann 9, Chabot 12, Piety 12. 
No. 3, 15 singles: France 12, Volbrecht 9, Grossman 6, Simpson 8, 
Chabot 9, Thiele 14, Shields 8, McCormack 12, Phillips 9, Mc Vicar 11. 
Powder Hill- Club. 
The attendance at the Powder Hill Club shoot was not very large on 
account of numerous other attractions in the city, but those present 
enjoyed some good sport and made the following scores: 
Opening shoot at 10 singles: Critzer 9^ Foster 7, Ohnesorge 8, Whit- 
worth 6. 
Regular shoot at 30 singles and 5 pairs, Unknown traps: Critzer 36, 
Foster 28, Ohnesorge 35, Whitworth 27. 
The next shoot was at 25 singles: Critzer 18, Foster 15, Ohnesorge 
28, Whitworth 19. Texas FtELb. 
Cummin gs vs. Taylor. 
Lancaster, Pa., June 6,— The match, between W. P. Cummings, of 
this city, and Dr. W. G. Taylor, of Columbia, Pa., came off this morn- 
ing, Cummings winning easily. The conditions were 100 live birds, 
28yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, $100 a side. The match was shot at Ham- 
bright's Tbree-Mile House., near this city. J. O. Wiley was referee; A. 
Anderson and Charles Murdock, judges; George Franklin and Howard 
Bush, official scorers. The scorej showing flight of birds, is as follows !

The live-bird shooters of Syracuse were treated to a surprise Satur- 
day afternoon at Mesina Springs. Mr. Fuller, who has not shot live 
birds for ten or eleven years, walked up to the traps and beat the best 
of the old war horses, killing 21 straight, tieing Mr. George for first 
place. All the shooters shot a rapid pace, dropping but very few 
birds. The bii ds . were a fine lot and a good number first class.

Why Not a Chicago Shoot? 
Chicago, III., June 8.— There was some talk here this week among 
several outside men who are figuring on the project of coming to 
Chicago and giving a big Chicago tournament at targets some time the 
coming year. They think they can get up the biggest tournament 
ever held in the country. As yet this is mere conjecture. It would 
surely seem Chicago could hold as good a shoot as any city, with 
her central location and her reputation for hustling. Chicago excels 
at live birds, but has yet to see her first great modern target tourna- 
ment. It would be at least interesting to see the experiment properly 
tried by the proper parties, and should these gentlemen go beyond 
mere speculating over it and actually claim a date, their project 
would no doubt attract much attention in the shooting world. ■
