The centennial trophy Palma match lost none of its public inter- 
est. It was a team contest for the championship of the world, 
eight men to a team, and the members of "the various teams par- 
ticipating m.ust be native-born citizens of the countries which they 
respectively represent, except in the case of teams representing 
a provincial territory of a government, in which case a residence 
in the province will be sufficient, providing the member is a native- 
born subject of the parent country. The rifle used was the 
national military arm of the country the team represented. Mini- 
mum pull of trigger, 4%lbs, Distances, SOO, 900 and 1,000yds. 
Fifteen shots at each range by each competitor. Any position with- 
out ai'tificial rest. Entrance, $2 per man. Orthoptic- sights al- 
lowed. The United States has held this trophy for rnany years, 
but lost it to the Canadian team, which surpassed in SkUl its 
competitor, scoring 28 points over the American team, the scores 
being 1,522 to 1.494. On the shorter ranges, 800 and 900yds., there 
was a cause for hope that the Americans might pull ahead and 
win, but on the 1,000yd. range they were most decisively beaten. 
Both teams worked conscientiously in practice. 
At the 800yd. range, the Canadians led by 7 points, 532 to 525. 
The teams tied at 900yds., so that the Canadians were still lead- 
ing by 7 points at l,0O0yds.,"the Canadians gained 21 points:

San Francisco, Sept. 1. — Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club held 
its bi-monthly shoot to-day. The Native Sons also opened their 
new club on our range, which crowded us. They will shoot on the

but Brannagan did fine average work with his revolver. Dr. Twist 
shot a return match with Dorrell with rifle and got beaten, but 
the Doctor made 56, which is many points better than he ever did 
before. He and Dorrell crowded Young closely for first honors 
with rifle. Scores on Columbia target, oi¥-hand:

Our best team in telegraph revolver match made 1,590, and 
Light Battery A, of Boston, made 1,445, thus defeating us 145 
points. We expect a return match and to do better, as our best 
six men made 1,415, or 30 points better than their team score. We 
will be able to select our best men in rapid firing, as this has 
stirred the boys up to try that style of shooting. \Ve sent con-

Strickmeier did himself proud to-day by beating his former 
record 4 points; his 228 now stands as his highest to date. How 
the bouquets are flying in his direction, and he is not' averse 
to throwing a good many oj them himself. We hope to see him 
beat Jayne's record of 232 before long. 
This club will hold its annual prize shoot on Sept. 29. Open to 
all, any rifle over .45cal. Jacketed bullets and telescopes not 
allowed. Rest and off-hand shooting. A select list of prizes will 
be exhibited on the grounds at Four-Mile House, Reading road 
Take Avondale or Norwood electric cars. 
Broken and Dusted Targets* 
Cincinnati, Sept. 7. — I have read with much interest the recent 
articles on "Broken and Dusted Targets." I quite agree that a 
distinctly dusted target should be scored a dead bird. There 
must needs be, however, a pretty sharp-eyed referee. I note that 
there is some objection to the dusted target as a dead bird po.s- 
sibly through a fear that too many 75 per cent, and 80 per cent 
shooters would be promoted to the 90 per cent, class. 
And while discussion of target shooting is on there is another 
matter that deserves attention, and that is the position of the gun 
when target shooting. There are many gentlemen who shoot at the 
trap during the close season on game, for amusement and prac- 
tice, who feel that the present style of shooting with the gun 
fastened to the shoulder, so to speak, is poor practice for field 
shooting. It is true they have the option of gun in any position 
they choose; at the same time they realize that they are badly 
handicapped if shooting against the gun at the shoulder for the 
target will certainly fly 10 to l!5yds. while the gun is being' elevated 
and adjusted. Yet they are helpless unless they choose to -play 
solitaire at the trap, which is much less pleasure. 
Why do not the lovers of the gun who shoot for pleasure and 
improvement m field shooting organize clubs where all will shoot 
with the gun below the elbow until the bird is in sight? Is the 
matter worthy of discussion? j g jyj

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The high-gun system governing the merchandise events of the 
New York State shoot should appeal to all whose sense of equity 
is greater than the personal viewpoint of self-interest. This system 
eliminates the absurd possibility of a contestant scoring 24 or 25 
and winning nothing, while some other contestant who scores 
22 or 23 wins a prize. There are 7o prizes, so that there will 
probably be a prize for each contestant. It is probable that the 
best shots will win the best prizes, and it is proper that the best 
shots should win the best prizes. A competition would be con- 
ducted on false principles indeed if the best rewards were given 
to the poorer performers. 
at 
Mr. C. G. Blandford, captain of the club, writes us as follows: 
"On Wednesday, Sept. 18, the Ossining Gun Club will l.ave an- 
other of their popular clambakes. This bake, as before, will be 
superintended bv ex-Capt. Washburn, of the New York police 
force. Tickets will be $1..50 each, ladies' tickets SI. This Will be 
a gentiine Rhode Island persuasion, and is mostly for the enter- 
tainment of the clay-bird shooters, who are expected to be on 
hand from 10 A. M. to 3:30 P. M., when the bake will be opened, 
rain or shine. All shooters will be welcomed." 
The Winchester Gun Club, of Winchester, N. H., announces 
a tournament for Sept. 17. Shooting commences at 9:30. There are 
twelve events on the programme at 10, 15, 20 and 25 targets. Tar- 
gets 1% cents. Event No. 6 is a five-man team shoot, for a $25 
cup. For the high gun there is a $12 cup. Lunch served on the 
grounds. Ship guns and ammunition to Mr. F. D. Lesure, the 
secretary. Magautrap and bluerocks. 
Mr. J. Breidenbend, the secretary, informs us that the Mt, 
Sterling, 111., Gun Club claims Oct. 16 as the date for its tourna- 
mient.
