The New York Shooting Club Tries to Bluff
the Californians- What the Oarsmen
Are Doing Miscellaneous.

The constant downpOur of yesterday did
not prevent good number OF marksmen
from assembling at Harbor View to en-
deavor TO put holes in the bulPs-eye. The
day was a very roor one for shooting, as the
smoke from the rife laid low in the range
and often obScured the targets from view.
The scores made were very good when the
wretched condition Of the weather is taken
into consideration.
The Turner'S shooting section contested
for Tie medals of the club and show great
amount of enthusiasm in their endeayor to
make good score
% The Grueth Club held their monthly bulls
eye shoot and showed by the number of
men they placed before the targets that in-
clement weather did not deter them from
performing their duty at the range.
The cadets of the California Club were
ont in force and put forward their best en-
deayor TO show that they were enthusiasts
with the rifle.

CALIFORNIA VS.. ZETTLER CLUB.
The California ScbuetZen Club has re-
ceiyed g reply from the Zettler Club of New
York in regard to the interstate match for
the championship Of the United States
They state in their communication that they
viii shoot in June or September. and desire
10 Shoot ON the last Sunday in June.
.Ihe letter which the California Club sent
10 the Zettlers. accepting their challenge to
shoot specially stated that they would be
unable TO shoot IN the month of June on ac-
count of their members being scattered
about the State on their annual deer-hunting
expeditions.
1t appears singular to the California Club
. why the New York champions should pick
out the very date. for the proposed match
which they barred. Il viii also be remem-
bered that the challenge of the California
Club stated that all participants in the
match should be mem berS OF their respect
i've clubs for at least nine months before
belug eligible Tor competition. AS the
ZettleT Club proposes TO shoot in June or
September, it will thus be seen that they
Wl>h-to compete at 4 time when the best
members Of the California Club cannot be
e got together or wish sufficient time to re-
ruitaA the good shots FROM the surround
nv States.
Their reply to the letter of acceptance of
the California Club is looked upon as a big
bluff, and they viii be met upon any terms
which they. propose. However, the com
nilttee which has the matter in hand will
meet tonight, and it is safe TO say the New
York Club viii be accommodated.
