SOH9 f1iRn-ClaSS Logs nat VIII Be
Bepched at the Pavilion.
People who will have occasion to PASS
within gun-shot range of the Mechanics
Pavilion on Wednesday, the 9Th inst, will
be reminded that something out of the
ordinary turn of affairs is going on within
that big structure indicating bowling
time for some people who do not object to
discord.
1t will be the opening day OF the Pacific
Kennel Clubs bench show and, according
to PARTICLES of agreement entered into be-
tween the owners of dogs and the officers
of the club, +" the CANNES that are to be ex-
hibited must be in their respective depart
ments at 10 O'Clock on the day OF the open
ing of the show.
First-class arrangements have been pro-
vided for the comfort of the dogs while
on exhibition. The judge, who is to make
his second appearance at the pavilion in
the interest of dogdom, will arrive on
Monday, and it goes without saying that
he will be surprised on learning of the
mum bers of st. Bernards now owned bv
local fanciers. When Mr.. Mortimer

Clubs That VIII Burn Powder To-
Morrow Near Shell Mound.
The California Wing-shooting Club will
meet tomorrow at the Oakland track.
The Olympic and Electric gun clubs will
meet also at the same place. Live birds
and inanimate targets will be shot at.
The Reliance Gun Club will meet at
Alameda Point.
The Ukiah Sportsman's Club proposes to
stop the killing of game and fish out of
season. Several violators of the fish and
game laws have been apprehended and
convicted since the club organized, prov
ing that the sportsnen of Ukiah are made
of the right timber. At a recent meeting
a committee was appointed to ascertain
and report for prosecution the names OF all
persons who had Killed deer since the close
of the season.
The secretary was authorized to publish
in the papers of the county notice offer
ing q reward for information leading to
the arrest and convection of any person
offering for sale any trout less than six
inches in length.
Such clubs as this soon become power
for good in the locality in which they are
situated and terror to the violators of
the game laws. Our game laws in the
main are good enough. We only need
active resolute men, like the members of
this club, to enforce them.
1t is said that the pheasants that were
liberated last season on several of the
ranches in Santa Clara and San Mateo
counties by Game Warden Mckenzie are
doing we'll and it is hoped that the resi-
dents will do all in their power to protect
the birds.
Several csnvasback and blue bill ducks
are still "holding down" the marshes.
The presence of these birds at this late
season is an evidence go the winter
weather has not yet passedBway.

THE RIFLE.
United States Marksmen Voting
for a Standard American
TARGET

United States Marksmen Voting
for a Standard American
Target.
For years the question of adopting a
standard American target for rife and
| pistol shooting has been agitated. 1t Is the
sense of the rifemen of America that a
| standard measurement should be adopted.
The question is what target of the three
principal targets now before the public
shall be selected. These targets are Ger
man 25-5l inch ring targets, the Standard
American and the new Columbia. vote
was called for by Shooting and Fishing of
239 Broadway. New York, to get the sense
of the majority. This vote will be closed on
June 1, and the target getting the best in
dorsement as to merits will probably be
accepted as the standard.
The reason for this vote is apparent
when IL is understood that the leading
riflemen of America Endorsed the Columbia
target as soon as it made its appearance
last January. Among its earnest advo-
Gates are A. G.. Gould, the recognized
authority on pistol and rifle shooting and
editor of Shooting and Fishing; II. NJ.
Pope, manufacturer of the famous Pope
target rife, and at least a dozen of the
larger rife and pistol clubs of the East.
On the Pacific Coast the large majority
OF the best riflemen favor the Colum bia
target not so much because it was origin
ated in San Francisco and is therefore an
article of home production, but because of
the simplicity of its count, the standard
measurement of its values and its adap-
tation to the Improvements and finer re-
ouirements of rife and pistol shooting.
Accompanying this are sectional cuts of
the three targets the riflemen of the United
States are now voting upon.
Preparations are being made for a big
sweepstake rife match, open to all, at the
Shell Mound range on Sunday, May 81.
This promises to be meeting of the best
shots on the coast. for already W. Glinde-
mann, f. o. Young, A. Strecker, A. II.
Pape, DR.. L. o. Rodgers. D. w. McLsugh-
lin and others have promised to partici-
pate. 1t is probable that it will be so
shot event, with the first prize to go to
the one making the best ten shots, and
there will probably be two prizes on the
best and second best totals. The entrance
will be So. and the match will be shot on
the Columbia target.
The newspaper men, rffiemen and police
OF the East are much interested in q mys-
terious explosion that recently took place
at the residence of Major George E. Albee
OF Westville, suburb of New Haven.
Major Albee is an inspector for the Win
chester Arms Company, and is we'll known
to the ri1emen of this coast. He acted as
entertainer to the team that went East to
the last big shooting tournament, and he
spared neither time nor expense to make
their stay pleasant.
On the night of the oath of April some
miscreant placed dynamite bomb on the
front doorsteps, which shattered every
piece of glass in the house and did much
damage to the front OF the building For
tunately no one was injured. Major A.
bee is mystihed, as he does not know of
any enemies he has who would resort to
such violent methods of revenge. Several
local ri1emen who were recipients of his

able from the kennels OF this country and
England.
The lovers of the feet greyhound-and
they are many-have been slow in enter
ing dogs for this show. No doubt Judge
Mortimer will be disagreeably surprised
at seeing such a small entry of long tails,
but then when he will be informed that a
majority of the greyhounds here are
owned by men of limited means, he may
reserve his opinion regarding the small
display which, truly speaking, does not
speak well for the greyhound interests of
this City and County.
The fox terriers will be very well repre-
sented. Those handsome companions OF
man have many admirers in this City, and
the stock has been vastly improved by the

The Alamedas will enter crew In the
senior race, but their greatest strong point
is the outrigger skiff races. They will
have two first-class men in both races
junior and senior-and also an entry in
the senior single scull.
The University of California will also be
represented in the skiff races. It is hoped
that they will also row in the senior race
against the South Ends crew who won
from them on Lake Merritt February %.
Another race between these crews would
be most exciting. The South Ends have
offered to loan the Berkeley boys the four
cared barge Blister to row on the day of
the race.
