with a special match for a very handsome target pistol 
patterned after an old English duelling weapon, gold 
mounted with pearl handle, presented by one of the mem¬ 
bers. A special programme will be arranged for the 
trophy competition. 
The Interstate official list of averages has provided 
interesting reading for Hub trapshooters since its publica¬ 
tion, though only a very few New England shooters 
earned a position therein. Manager Shaner is to be 
complimented on his accurate and complete figures of a 
year’s trapshooting.

Trapshooting in California. 
San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 10. —As the open season 
draws to a close and the shooting becomes poorer, the 
shotgun experts begin to turn their attention to trap¬ 
shooting, and already plans are being made for the 
coming season. The season last year was very much of 
a disappointment for some reason or other, and some 
changes will be made in the programme this season in 
an attempt to better conditions. Some of the shooters 
are of the opinion that the game has become too ex¬ 
pensive for the man with an ordinary income to indulge 
in, and they are now attempting to find a solution for 
this problem. Nothing definite as yet has been decided 
upon, but it is more than likely that one of the local 
organizations will try running the bluerock shoots more 
like the live pigeon affairs. Heretofore the programmes 
for the clay bird functions have embraced eight or ten 
matches a day, at from 15 to 25 birds, and the output for 
the day’s sport for one man would amount to about $15. 
'I'he suggestion that has been offered, and will probably 
be tried, will be to hold two scheduled events each day, 
one in the morning and another in the afternopn. The 
shooting is to be done with one man up at a time, and 
the handicapping will be from 16 to 24yds. An extra 
set of traps will be opened for the use of any shooters 
who wish to shoot more than the two regular events, 
and the shooters can arrange their own matches and 
can shoot under any conditions they choose at this set 
of traps. In this way it is thought that every one can 
be satisfied from the man who desires to shoot but little 
to the one who wants to shoot often and fast. The 
Empire Club will shoot again this year at Alameda 
Point, but the Golden Gate Club and the Trapshooters’ 
League will both shoot over the Ingleside traps. In all 
probabilities they will make arrangements to usher in 
the season with a big tournament on Washington’s Birth¬ 
day. The California Wing Shooting Club will hold a 
shoot on live birds regularly each month from March on.
