Colambia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco. April 20. — At Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club's 
bi-monthly shoot the conditions were not good — bad light, some 
rairi and wind. Mr. D. \V. King, of Denver delegation, who re- 
mained here since the Bund shoot, was present and tried 50 shots, 
but complained of bad changes in light and wind; .still he shot a 
fine score, making 294. A. H. Pape went for a 100-shot record with 
rifle and got it. His first and last 50 shots to count for 50-shot 
record also. In his 100 shots he made 450, or a 4%in. ring aver- 
age, with 95 of them in the 8in. ring, or Creedmoor bullseye, and 
all in the 12in. bullseye. He had a hang-fire on a perfect hold, and 
got a low 12, the other four shots of the 8-ring being two 9s and 
two 10s. His last 50 shots cousted 223, or 4.46in. ring average, 
which beats Young's last 50 shots in the 3-shot club match three 
years ago by 3 points, and his own record at last club shoot by 
9 points. All his 50 shots but one, a 10, were in the 8-ring. His 
shooting stands unprecedented in the rifle world. I have been an 
active shooter for twenty years, and attended the festivals East 
and West, kept posted on the records, but never have I seen such 
an exhibition of rifle shooting. To further substantiate this. I 
give comparisons of his score on the other targets in use, since 
this custom is now being practiced in the East: His mil siuis 
count absolutely 2,265 on the German ring target, and he has 38 
doubtful shots, the 2s, 5s and 8s, a. majority of which will count 
in. giving him probably 2,2S5 or better. On the German point tar- 
get it counts 221. On the Standard it counts absolutely 901, and 
he has 33 doubtful shots, the 4s and 6s, a majority of which will 
count in, giving him probably 920 or better. Pape entered twenty- 
six times in our two April shoots. Of these he finished twenty-two 
scores. Two of his withdrawals were due to accidents, one being 
a defective primer, and the other a discharge from closing the 
lever, which is scored against the shooter on the Pacific Coast. 
In the above twenty-two scores he made a 47 average, and the ten 
best scores of the twenty-two for the club's highest bar (on 42 
average) count as follows: 33, 37, 38, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 42, 43—394, 
or averaging on the 3.94in. ring. It is most extraordinary shoot- 
ing, and was not thought possible when the Columbia target was 
first made. 
Pape shoots a rifle -with Winchester action. He loads with 
King's semi-smokeless, and primes with King's smokeless pow- 
der, with U. M. C. iy% primers. 
Here is Pape's score in detail; each shot gives the diameter or 
size of ring hit in inches, Columbia target, off-hand shooting.

a '' A P ril 22 > fahly won the honors that fell to their share. 
A high wind, coupled with liberal handicaps, upset the calcula- 
tions of many an experienced shooter, of which there was a rep- 
resentative gathering from Rochester, Titusville, Oil City, Buffalo 
and other points^ including a strong contingent of Olean experts. 
Mr. Harry D. Kirkover, shooting from scratch, 20yds., won first

The Hazard Powder Company, of 44-48 Cedar street. New York, 
have prepared a sheet for the patterning of guns Which possesses 
distinct advantages over the ordinary sheet with its 30in. circle. 
It is subdivided by concentric circles and diameters into a num- 
ber of spaces which aid the eye in determining the evenness of 
the pattern and aid materially in the convenience of counting the 
pellets. It is of standard size. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, 
arrived in New York on Monday of this week to take up the 
preliminary arrangements for the great G. A. H. at targets, to be 
held at Interstate Park, next week. He was not in the best of 
health. He had a left-over cold from the Kansas City shoot, but 
he was full of energy and purpose in respect to the forthcoming 
event aforementioned. ■ -

"I may, however, point out that measuring difference of 
potential in ergs is about as logical a proceeding as measuring 
difference of (gravitational) level in foot-pounds. Some eccentric 
people might no doubt be found to uphold this latter proceeding. 
But a falsehood does not become a truth merely because a number 
of people give their unreasoning assent to it." — Nature. 
Mr. H. H. Stevens, of Rahway, N. J., and Mr. Edward
