At Shell Mound Park. 
San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 22. — Fourteen of the best 
rifle shots of the Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club 
came as early as 9 o’clock in the morning to show the 
world that they could make good scores on the Standard 
American target. W. G. Hoffman made 890, with a 
clean miss, which was an accident that happens to all 
shooters—that is, to pull the trigger before the rifle has 
been placed upon the target. This is the best score 
that has ever been made by any marksman here since 
they have been shooting the 100-shot match. He made 
the fine 10-shot score of 95. Henry Harris won the 
annual medal in the Champion Class of the pistol shoot 
of the Shell Mound Pistol and Rifle Club. \V. H 
Christie won the First Class medal; J. A. Jones the 
Second Class and H. Glory, Jr., the Third Class. 
On the rifle range, F. P. Poulter won the First Class, 
W. A. Siebe the Second Class and S. Phillips the Third 
Class. 
Feb. 25.—A rather cold north wind came right m on 
the shooters and made it quite miserable to hold, but 
the scores were good at that. 
The Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club was the main at¬ 
traction of the day, and a large crowd kept three targets 
busy all day. Major Ed. Stehn made the best bullseye 
in the above club. Capt. O. E. Rosberg, of the Red 
Men, got the best score of the day—221. Geo. Pattberg 
got the best score in the San Francisco Schuetzen 
Verein, making 222. A. J. Branagan, with 226, made the 
best 10-sbot score in the Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol 
Club. J. E. Gorman made 96 in 10 shots on the 50yd. 
pistol range. Capt. J. E. Klein was the high man in 
the Veterans with 44 out of 50.

Feb. 15 was Possible Pistol Club day, and five of the 
m.embers took a day off and with pistol grips in hand 
strolled to the Shell Mound Park shooting range to 
shoot some U. S. R. A. model targets, fn order to 
have a good day’s sport, it was suggested that a 50-shot 
match be held under record conditions; as we are all 
liable to smash a record or two, we wanted to be on the 
safe side. 
Match No. 1: FI. A. Harris (0) 456, W. A. Siebe (5) 
453, A. M. Poulsen (15) 429, Geo. Earson (25) 429; M. 
Nielson (35) 425. 
Match No. 2: A. M. Poulson fSO) 461, W. A. Siebe 
(5) 455, H. A. Harris (0) 444, M. Nielson (60 447, O. 
Larson (40) 429. 
The winners received solid silver spoons of special 
design. 
The twenty-third annual opening of the most popular 
picnic grounds and shooting range in the West was held 
on March 4, when Ludwig Siebe & Sons, Inc., opened 
the gates to the many lifelong friends who frequented 
Shell iMound Park during the past years. 
W. G. Flotfman made 94 out of a possible 100 in four 
shots at 200yds., German ring target. This performance 
gave him the first prize. A. E. Pape followed him with 
93. R. S. Wixson made two 49s, which gave him the 
first prize in the pistol match. W. H. Christie got the 
best center in the pistol bullseye shoot. 
The Shell Mound Pistol and Revolver Club held the 
regular monthly medal and bullseye shoot, and the at¬ 
tendance was very large. E. Shierbaum was high man 
with 213 in the champion class in 10 shots on the Ger¬ 
man ring target, 200yds. A. Thompson made 204 in the 
first class and G. R. Hauser with 203 was high man in 
the second, and O. C. Fetermen was the best in the third 
class. 
Capt. Larsen took a 94 to his credit in the first class 
pistol, and whatever got into M. Nielsen, when he made 
a 90 in the second class, is a mystery to everybodv.

Eastern Inter-Collegiate. 
The tenth week of the matches in the Eastern Inter- 
colle.giate League produces no material change in the 
standing of the teams. In the final match of next week 
Massachusetts Agricultural College and Princeton come 
together, and the result of this match will decide the 
championship of the League. As Massachusetts is shoot¬ 
ing in' better form than Princeton, they probably will 
win the match. The tie for third place remains unbroken, 
as North Georgia and Harvard both won their matches. 
A noticeable feature of the shooting is the big improve¬ 
ment being made by all the colleges in their shooting. 
North Georgia, Harvard, Louisiana State and the United 
States have made big gains in their scores, especially 
the latter college. 
Again Massachusetts had the honor of putting up hi^h 
score for the week, with the Surgeons a good second. 
High individual score was made by B. L. Poole, U. S. 
College, with 98 standing and 98 prone, a total of 196, 
with _E. R. Lloyd, of the Aggies, runner-up with 96 
standing and 99 prone, total 195. 
The results of the matches shot this week are as fol¬ 
lows: Massachusetts Aggies, 957, defeated Louisiana 
State, 931; U. S. College, 950, defeated Delaware College, 
v05; Harvord, 939, defeated University of Pennsvlvania, 
917; Prmceton, 931, defeated Maryland Aggies, 843; Nor¬ 
wich, 854 defeated New Flampshire, 829.

A Coantry of Fish and Game. A Paradise for the Camper and Angler. Ideal Canoe Trips. 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Com pany’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds of fish and 
game. IJAll along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their SALM(5N and TROUT fishing, also 
Caribou barrens. IjAmericans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland say there is no other country 
in the world in which so good fishing and hunting ca n be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland.
