C. N. King, Rifle Champion. 
Camp Perry, O., Aug. 25.—The northeaster which 
completely stopped all shooting yesterday on the big 
range, had so far abated by 8 o’clock this morning as to 
allow the national individual match to proceed at the 
final ranges of 600 and ICOOyds. The weather cleared as 
the shooting progressed, and by noon the match had 
been completed except the ties. The winning honors 
were well distributed among the States and the regular 
services. 
Sergt. C. M. King, of the Fifty-third Iowa Infantry, 
who led after the first day’s shooting, held his advantage, 
not only for the national individual, but his aggregate 
score in it, and the president’s match, shot on Tuesday, 
gave him the individual military rifle championship of 
the United States. Other special honors in the national 
individual were the gold medals for the highest score in 
the skirmish, the rapid fire and the slow fire, which 
which were awarded respectively to Lieut. J. H. Cole, 
of the District of Columbia, who had to shoot off a tie 
score of 99 with Capt. Test, of Texas: to Lieut. D. A. 
Preussner, of Iowa, who made a possible at rapid-fire, 
and to Sergt. A. N. Dow, of Florida, who made 145 out 
of a possible 150 on the slow fire. 
The second place in the national individual champion¬ 
ship was won bv Sergt. O. M. Schreiver, of the Marines, 
and the third place by Lieut.-Col. W. A. Tewes, of New 
Jersey. The scores of the chief winners in the national 
individual rifle match were as follows: 
Sergt. C. M. King, Iowa, 285; Sergt. C. M. Smith, 
U. S. Infantry, 283: Sergt. O. S. Schreiver. U. S. 
Marines, 281; Capt. W. H. Bichard, Ohio, 281; Sergt. 
C. J. Yanamburg, Massachusetts, 281; Sergt. K. A. Burn¬ 
ham. Massachusetts, 280; Coxswain S. T. E'genman, U. 
S. Navy, 289; Lieut. E. Miller, Ohio. 279; Capt. E. W. 
F.ddy, Ohio. 279; Sergt. J. K. Maas, U. S. Cavalry, 278; 
Lieut. D. A. Preussner, Iowa. 278; Lieut. T. IT Cole, 
District of Columbia, 277; Ensign R. C. Giffin, U. S. 
Navv, 277; L ; eut. J C. Shaw, Infantry, 277; Ensign 
H. T. Knerr, Navy, 277. 
Los Angeles Revolver Club. 
Los Angelf.s, Cal., Aug. 21. —Yesterday the members 
of the Los Angeles Revolver Club held their regular 
monthly bullseye shoot. The conditions were 30 shots 
per man at 50yds, 10s only to count. R. J. Fraser won 
the medal with the low count of eleven 10s. 
J. E. Ilolcomb and Dr. L. M. Packard again fought 
a 30-shot battle against R. J. Fraser and W. E. Smith, 
winning by but 4 points. This gives good practice fcr 
the outdoor championship matches of the U. S. R. A. 
On Aug 27 the Los Angeles team expects to shoot a 
return match with the Golden Gate Club of San Fran¬ 
cisco. Each team will have ten men, five of which w-11 
shoot revolver and five pistol, each man to shoot 50 
shots at 50yds. on the standard American. 
What they will do to us may be a caution, but we are 
going to die kicking. This may be our last match for 
a while, besides we want to even up for that other de¬ 
feat, which makes us feel mad every time we think about 
it. We will do our best and leave the rest to the litt e 
god that stands at the firing line, throwing the best men 
into the scrap heap, and shoving low men to the front, 
etc.—that little god that governs the unaccountab'es, 
making 6s and 7s out of what should have been 10s, etc. 
You have all met him.

Speaking of the passing of the double gun in trap¬ 
shooting, brings forth the following facts: 
Harvey Dixon, of Oronogo, Mo., won the Grand 
American Handicap at Columbus, O., June 22, with the 
remarkable score of 99 out of 100, shooting from the 
20yd. mark—a score that has never been equalled at the 
Grand American. There were 385 men who qualified in 
the competition—a great field to be victorious over. W m. 
Ridley, of What Cheer, la., won the Western Handicap 
at Omaha, Neb., Aug. 10. He scored 98 out of a possible 
100, and 39 out of 40, shooting from the 19yd. mark. 
There were 196 shooters who qualified in this event. 
J. Jennings, of Toronto, Ont., Can., won the Grand 
Canadian Handicap in August, with another splendid 
score of 49 out of 50. AH three winners used a Smith gun. 
The 1911 Stevens catalogue has just come to hand, and 
to say that it is essential to every sportsman is not 
overestimating its contents. Its issue is happily timed 
to reach the hunter at the psychological moment—just at 
the opening of the season of greatest pleasure to the 
man whose veins are filled with red corpuscles, the 
man to whom healthy circulation means so much. The 
book is so well done as to be eligible for a place in 
vour sportsman’s library, to refer to from time to time, 
if only for the joy of seeing what great strides have been 
made in the advancement of “shooting irons.” The 
insides of the Gun Gazetteer begin with the gun for 
your boy, a single barrel, Nitro Special, weighing 71bs. 
and costing $<5.50. It shows many styles of rifles exactly 
suited for your wife and daughter, and deals ad lib. in 
shotguns for the trap and field, as well as high-power 
rifles for big-game shooting. You may havea dopy of 
this excellent publication absolutely free of charge by

THE CONDUCTOR OBJECTED. 
Because Conductor Roberts, of the Marys- 
ville-Yuba City street car line refused to carry 
a sack of fish on his car for County Surveyor 
L. B. Crook and R. N. Murphy from the boat 
landing on Feather River to this city, Crook and 
Murphy threaten to begin suit against the rail¬ 
road company. They have retained an attorney 
to look into the law in the premises, with the 
idea of suing the Northern Electric Railroad 
for damages. 
Shad fishing is now the rage each evening on 
Feather River. Crook and Murphy had a barley 
sack full and the conductor did not like the 
odor which the catch promised to leave on his 
car.—Sacramento Bee.
