Colombia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, April 6. — The Columbia 1 Pistol and Rifle Club's 
range has been flooded, and later the proprietor's wife, Mrs. 
Herman, died; so we have rested. To-day vas very windy and 
rainy, with changing light, but A. H. Pape tried for a 50-shot 
record. Pie had a bad primer on his twenty-first shot, which gave 
him a miss (27), and he re-entered again for 50 shots on his fourth 
score, making 232 or 4.64in. ring average in 50 shots, all his shots 
but one being in the Sin. ring. This will stand as the record. He 
took the lead for ten best scores for the year. This, with his 
fine shooting at the Schuetzen rize shoot a week ago, where he 
won everything in sight, making an average in 89 shots of 226 3-10 
on German target, places him second to none with the rifle. This 
is his third consecutive year to beat the Schuetzcns. He uses a 
Pope-Winchester rifle and King's semi and smokeless powders.

A picturesque canine fixture of trapshooting about New York 
, Passed into the eternal hereafter a few days since. In other words, 
Mrs. O Grady is dead. She was Tom Morfey's pet fox-terrier, and 
had been an appendage of Lyndhurst and Interstate Park so many j 
years that she seemed to have an existence free of the destruction 
which comes to organic life in general. Probably more trap- 1 
shooters had seen Mrs. O 'Grady than had seen any other dog on : 
earth. In private life she was known by the pet name of "Pig." 
Many maternal cares of progeny which one time might be setter or I 
pointer, at other times as it happened, had changed her erstwhile 1 
trim form to one of pudgy stuffiness. She had a jolly, rolling j 
gait, which showed to great advantage her mangy sides bald in 
places, much after the manner of moth-eaten fur. In the months 
preceding her death, she dearly loved to sit down, breathing 
thickly and wheezily, while scanning the company in a most 
cynical manner. "Pig" was not a lily of the valley among dogs, 
but it was notable that her mission on earth ceased about the | 
same time that the pigeon shooters of New York resolved to 
eschew shooting pigeons at the traps.

A correspondent from Utica, under date of April 14, writes us as 
follows: "The annual meeting of the Oneida County Sportsmen's 
Association was held in this city on the evening qf April 11, at 
which time the following officers were elected: President, Henry 
L. Gates; Vice-President, Wm. A. Ainsworth; Secretary, C. R. 
Mizner; Treasurer, O. A. Wheeler; Directors: Gustavus Dexter 
T. L. Davidson, M. Bacon. The report of the treasurer showed" 
that the assets of the Association are $5,047,92 and the liabilities 
$2,385.99. The receipts of the year for shooting prizes, etc., 
amounted to $421.99, and the expenditures for targets, prizes, etc., 
to $490. The Association will have a shoot on Memorial Day. The 
regular shooting days for the coming season will be two Fridays 
and two Saturdays in each month. The handicap committee for 
the year will be II. L. Gates, C. R. Mizner and O, A. Wheeler."

Mr, A. A. Schoverling, secretary, writes us as follows: "The 
next shoot for the Lewis live-bird cup will be held at Smith 
Brothers' East Side Gun Club grounds, at corner of Foundry and I 
Ferry streets, Newark, N. J., April 19, 10 o'clock, under the 
auspices of the Richmond Gun Club, of Staten Island. To reach 
grounds, take Cortlandt street (Pennsylvania R. R.) ferry to Jersey 
City, then the Newark Plank Road (red) trolley to corner Foundry 
and Ferry streets, Newark, asking for Gregory's Hotel. The first ; 
four shoots were held on Staten Island, and two gentlemen have 
won Uie cup twice. Three wins keep the cup. As we cannot shoot . 
live-birds on Staten Island any more, we are going to try our 
luck in Jersey. This is a 10-bird event, open to Staten Isianders 
only, but there will also be other events to suit shooters present."

The Glen Rock, Pa., Gun Club have issued the programme for 
their shoot on May 1 and 2. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock 
each day. On the first day there are twelve target events 10, 15 i 
and 20 targets, entrance 50 cents, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50. Also a 
challenge match for the live-bird championship trophy of York 
county between Allen M. Seitz, holder, and D. G. Deardorff, 25 
live birds each, 30yds. rise, will be shot. On the second day there 
are ten target events, of which No. 6 is the Winchester repeating ' 
gun event. There is also a target match between Allen M. Seitz, 
holder, and H. Wasbers, 100 targets each, for the target champion- 
ship trophy of York county. Average moneys each dav Ship 
guns and shells to the secretary, Allen M. Seitz.

That skill in trapshooting is advancing year by year was con- 
vincingly demonstrated in the recent Grand American Handicap 
at Kansas City,. H. C. Hirschy, the winner, was forced to kill 78 
straight before he won the cup. C. G. Spencer, the runner-up 
killed 77, one less than the winner, and R. O. Heikes, winner of 
third, killed 56 straight, which was very near to the highest win- 
ning scores of prior handicaps, or, to be more specific, Hon. T. A 
Marshall killed 33 straight in the tie in 1899 and won first and 
Mr. H. D. Bates killed 36 straight in 1900 and won first. It indeed 
is a race when a winner of first is forced to kill 78 without a miss, 
and he is truly a great trapshooter who can go the pace and the 
distance.

The programme of the Olean, N. Y.~ Gun Club tournament, 
April 22, provides twelve events, 10, 15 and 20 targets, entrance $1,

optional sweep of $1 therewith. Any club may enter more than

grounds. Mr. J. R. Yost is the secretary. 
Mr. Roll Organ, one of the influential and active members of the 
trapshooting and game protective fraternity of Chicago, is a visitor 
in New York this week. While Mr. Organ is not so active in 
practical trapshooting at present as he was a few years since, he 
is still earnest in his interest in that respect and keeps well ia 
touch with the sport. He reports great activity on the part of 
those in Chicago, who are opposed to pigeon shooting. 
Mr. Hough, in "Western Traps" this week, utters some well- 
merited words in respect to Mr. Shaner's hard and skillful work 
in connection with the .recent Grand American Handicap at 
Kansas City, and it is all the more pleasing, coming as it does from 
the West as a spontaneous tribute to Mr. Shaner's ability.
