THE GUN.
Dovs-shooting at NIIes-Gambiing ut the
Traps.


Doves are reported as being very plentiful
about Niles, in Alameda County, and some
very good bags were made In that locality
last week. A sportsman who returned
from Concord. in Contra Costa County, yes
terday stated that any man who can shoot
little on the wing can bag a number of
cooers. There are many other places where
birds are numerous. but shooting is pro-
hibited.
1t is surprising to note the growth OF
clubs In many Eastern cities that are de-
voted to trap-shO0ting.
A well-known writer, commenting on the
subject says II is the large amount of gam
bling done at the traps that brings into the
field the large army Of shooters now en-
gagged 10 trap-shooting contests. Thousands
of dollars change hands at prominent
pigeon shoots, and the winners will inya-
riably turn up ct each succeeding shoot
purposely to engage Ia the fascinating
sport OF wagering on the results of each
race. The losers are generally on hand
also to recoup their losses on former shoots,
and the busy wheel of fortune is continually
going during ths season for trap shooting.
In the West the sport accruing from trap
shooting has not TO any extent been tar
nshed by the gambling element.
The majority OF the shooting clubs west
OF the Rockies have been organized for Que
purpose, and that is TO bring together
sportsmen VINO shoot for pleasure and not
for the monetary consideration that Is at
tached to professional contest OF any kind.
The few dollars that are wagered here ON
sweepstake shoots are never taken into con-
slderatt0p by the contestants as motives for
gambling inducements. 1t is safe to saw
that by taking all of the clubs here as a
unit the total amount OF wagering done
during the season would not reach $500.
Notwithstanding the Insignificant betting
that is done by San Francisco sportsmen at
the traps, there can be no gainsaying that
the sport Is popular. Trsp-shooting is an
nually becoming favOrite pastime with
CaliforniaDs, simply because 1t brings about
affiliations aud friendships in which sports
men delight.
The question OF shooting average. Is at
present under discussion in England. AS
in all such discussions, there have been
many interesting points developed. Among
facts presented are records of the inter-
national week at Nottingham and the Gun
Club. the principal pigeon shooting club in
England. The annual reports show the fol-
lowing records, which will interest mem bers
of lucal rIuhs.
