LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

meeting OF the Forester Gun Club, held last
evening, various communications concerning
the proposed handicapping at the shoot next
September were read While the greater
portion highly Endorsed the action of the
club, several from San Francisco criticised
it adversely. The gun club of that city and
two or three individual sportsmen wrote, in
dorsing the handicapping, but suggesting that
the distance was too great as adopted, and
also advising that other well known shooters,
in addition to those named, be handicapped.
The Forester Club. after fully discussing the
matter, decided that it would stand by its
original action in handicapping, holding that
the necessity for handicapping had long been
evident, but that it would be better at present
only to handicap those who are well known as
superior shots, and who won the first three
prizes at the tournament last State Fair,
and after the coming shoot had been decided,
the handicapping for other meetings could
be arranged according to the scores made
Mr.. Robinson, who is "set back" to the
greater distance for the meeting next Septem-
Der, twice upheld the honor of the State in
matches against Captain Bogardus, the
champion wing shot of the world" MIR.
Maskey, in making his debut at Nlilbrae a
year and a half ago, won the first prize over
Robinson by clean score; and MIR. Gerber
by his brilliant record during the past two
years has placed himself in the same class
with those gentlemen. There is not anything
in the action taken by the Foresters which
prevents any gentleman DESTROYS of glory
from shooting the same distance the three
8 handicapped" are set back to. The follow
ingresolution was adopted by the Club lasteve-
ming: That the shooting match to take place
during the coming State Fair is given by the
Forester Gun Club of Sacramento, and not
by any State organization, and in controlling
the same by handicapping and otherwise, we
are not assuming any power not properly be-
longing TO US, but are only exercising rights
that inherently are ours, and while respect
fully giving attention to suggestions for
warded to US, we still insist on having ex-
elusive and complete control of the tourna-
ment to be held during the coming State
Fair and that although we receive pecuniary
aid from the State Agricultural Society, and
hold our tournament inside the fair
grounds, we only do so for the purpose of
giving an opportunity to the people in general
to witness the shooting, an equal or greater
amount of money having been offered to us
to hold our tournament elsewhere. This is
only an initiatory measure, and in the future
we will be too well pleased, when State or
ganization has been effected, to have all As
of handicapping, etc. !"
