a Friendly SHoor.-The Woodland
Democrat Of the 18th says: ''It has been de-
cided by the two companies that the shooting
contest between team from the Sarsfeld
Guard, of Sacramento, and the Woodland
Guard, take place in this city on Sunday
next. Banks have been erected at the race
course and all the necessary arrangements
made for the ordeal. Yesterday evening some
of the Woodland boys, including two or three
of the team. were out practicing at the tar
get and did some very good shooting. Con-
siderable interest is taken in the proposed
contest, and everybody feels anxious to know
which company will have to stand the din
ner. The Woodland team will consist of
Frank Knox. George Lambert, james Will
son, David Wyckoff and Fillmore Wyckoff-
the same five that did the prize shooting at
Camp Brown" The above item is incorrect
as to date, as the shooting is to take place on
the 18th instant, aud not the 21st. The team
upon each side will be the same that shot at
Camp Brown for the Mechanics Store cup,
when the Sarsfelds won. The Sarsfeld team
is composed of j. L Hughes, O. Il. Hughes,
w. Rivett. = Holland and = Waltham.
The SarshelGs are handicapped to some ex-
tent, inasmuch as they must shoot with the
Woodland boys rifles, the rear sights of which
are different from those used in this city, but
sighting shots viii be allowed. The Sars-
field team will go to Woodland on the morn
ing of the 2Ssh, accompanied by quite num-
Der of their company and officers of the regi-
ment.
