coast aud participate at the annual shooting
tournament OF the club.
Last year the contests were held at Mon
terey, and judging from the great interest
that Was manifested in the contests by the
large gatherings of ladies and gentlemen, 1t
Is safe 10 say that the next outing of the
club Will eclipse anything in the way OF
nigeon-shootiug contests that have been
held this side Of the big curtains.
The probabilities are that The Pacific I'm
pr0vement Company will offer grand in
ducement In the way of n handsome prize,
which Will be contested for by the visiting
spoItsmeD. as this will be a feature of sport
which will attract sportsmen from all parts
of the State.
Baron Won Schroeder, who is promi-

OF having the next outing of the Country
Club held at San Rafael, and if induce
ments in the way of costly trophies will
succeed, the Country Clubs outing OF 1892
Will be held In Marin County.
For some time endeavors have been made
to bring about q friendly competition be-
tween the; crack amateur pigeon-shots of
the East and the West and although up TO
the present all attempts have proven I'M
successful, 1t now looks as If such scheme
can be contaminated. There can be no
gainsaying the fact that the project is In the
hands of the right kind of men, and IL is
hoped by all sportsmen who are interested
In field shooting that the plans now under
consideration will prove successful.
Fulford, the remarkable pigeon. shot. gets
a pretty good scoring from the Chicago
Tribune, which says: Chicago has turned
down another champion trapshot in the
person OF Il. ID. Fulford. The Eastern peo-
pie had commenced to think Fulford next
to invineible, and his two defeats here must
have caused deal Of surprise In the East
To tell the plain truth. Fulford was a big
disappointment here. He is no doubt q
marvel on easy birds. holding well on them
and bringing them down clean with the
first barrel In most instances, but his style
is not taking for hard birds. He Is so slow
getting ON his hard birds that, il ne MISE 5
with the first barrel good strong flier Is
well away before the second barrel can be
brought on him. This necessitates a hur
| rled and consequently Inaccurate try.
The Recreation Gun Club will have 3
shoot at Oakland track this afternoon. All
| sportsmen interested in trap-shooting are
| invited.
