THE RIFLE.
a Military Match Shoe. a, Shell Mound

Military Match Shoot at Shell Mound
Park.
The Swiss Rife Club will hold its monthly
bull's-eye shoot at Harbor View 10 day.
The Independent Rifles will hold their
final shoot for medals to-day at Shell Mound
The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein will
also hold buli's-eye shoot at Shell Mound
Park to-day.
1t is reported by dealers that the demand
for the three-barreled gun is on the increase.
This demand com principally from the
interior and in the mountain districts of the
State, where the sportsman is apt to jump a
deer while on quail shoot, aud by having
his rifle along viii be able to bring hrme big
game. In the three barreled gun the rifle
barrel is set Immediately under the double
shot barrels and is worked by separate
action.
An exciting pistol match will take place
at Shell Mound to-day between four Of the
best pistol-shots in The State. A. johnson
and Ed Z. Hovey will represent one side,
while the other will be taken care of by f.
o. Young and an unknown, but said to be
one OF the finest shots on the Coast. There
is no doubt but that this will be one of the
best matches which has taken place in
long time, and an excellent score is looked
Tor.
1t is understood that the Board of Dr.
rectors of the California Club has let the
bids for the erection of a shoOting-stand
and bowling ALLEY at the new park, near
San Rafael. The price for both buildings
will be about $4,000. The shoOting-stand
will be ITO feet long by 40 feet wide, aud
contain twenty shooting boxes. A plat
form will be erected for spectators, which
will be sufficiently elevated to enable all
who desire to witness the proceedings to do
SO without Inconvenience.
One of the most important military
matches which have taken place for a long
time will be decided to-day at Shell Mound.
Company b of the Third Infantry will con-
test issues with Company Z of the First
Infantry. Tie latter is the champion mill
tary company of the Pacific Coast, and has
won this proud distinction by long series
of hotiy contested and successful struggles
before the butts. OF late Company i has
been attending faithfully to practice, and,
believing that it could give the champions
hard days work on the range to defeat
1t, issued u challenge, which was at once
accepted. The match has awakened cou-
siderable interest in military circles, and the
outcome viii be looked for by all interested
III rifle matters.

COURSING.
The Golden West Club VIII Meet at
Newark To- DnY.


The Golden West Coursing Club is a new
organization which has recently come into
existence. Among its members are many of
the old followers of the sport, who have
always had valuable greyhounds about the
house in preference to a Watchdog The
club held the drawing last Friday evening
at 1l20 Howard street, and among the dogs
which figure on to-day's cards of the races
are some dark rustics." which will no doubt
surprise the talent, many of whom fell by
the roadside in the betting field at the
interstate meeting at MERGED.
The ground is now in very fair condition
for dog-racing. and as several crates of hares
have been shipped from Upton, in Fresno
Coun ty, recently to Newark by Trapper
Browning, the members of the Golden West
Club may expect TO witness some very good
runs, but OF course the hares will not travel
with the same speed and stamina that make
famous the MERGED Jack on his own grounds.
The Occidental Coursng Club has made
all preparations for its annual meeting at
Newark on the LIST of January, and with
good weather the club cannot fail TO enjoy a
splendid days sport.
