Notes.

The Alameda County Sportsmen's Club
held its monthly shoot yesterday at the
Empire grounds, Alameda mole, and the
following is result at twenty-five single
bluerocks, known angles: Slade co. Seaver
20, Barney Is, Adams IA, Worth 13, Rus
sell Is, Nelson 8. Some pool shooting fol-
lowed, but few of the members participated.
Owing to the fact that the most expert
trap-shooters of the Burlingame Club are
at present at Del Monte arranging for the
big shoot that will be held there in few
weeks, the proposed pigeon shoot which
was to have taken place yesterday at Bur-
lingame was indefinitely postponed The
Country Club will hold it's second last
shoot of the season on Wednesday at the
Oakland track, and large gathering of
shooters is expected to be on hand to make
up for the shoots they missed during the
season.
1t was stated last evening by promi-
nent member of the Olympic Club that
Mr.. Eaton. who is now director of the
club, will be placed at the head of the
regular ticket, as Mr.. Croker refused the
honor, owing to business affairs, which
will occupy his entire attention. The
nominators intend to recommend Mr..
Eaton for treasurer, but he positively de-
clined to run against MIR. Russ, who has
filled that office with great credit to him
self ard the club for number of years.
The fight, if any, will certainly be divided
between the members who have been
named respectively forleader and captain.

new bicycle club has been formed by the
local wheelmen of Stockton. The Oak

association. The new club was formed
among the men who think they cannot
afford to Join the Athletic Association.
