Young for the best 10-shot string got 40

There was considerable pistol practice
among the members OF the Columbia
Pistol and Rife Club on the 50-yard range
near the rifle range. Colonel Samuel
Beaver introduced a 25-ealiber 10-inch

Mr.. kenister and Young made some ex-
perlments in black and nitro rim fire cart
ridges. 1t was found that both kinds of
ammunition work we'll and fine results
were obtained from this pistol which has
never been extensively used on this coast
in target practice. Attaching a skeleton

sent four bullets into the one inch center

F. o. YOUNG WAS SECOND BEST.

It was an off day among the riflemen
yesterday, but an interesting match was
shot at the Shell Mound range. 1t was
made up by several members of the Co.
lum bia Pistol and Rifle Club three weeks
ago. The conditions were fifty shots at
200 yards, offhand, S. entrance, open to
all corners. 1t was decided that every flag
for a hit in the inch center would entltle
the lucky marksman to 81 for each. and
after the flags and expenses were paid the
man m aking the best fifty-shot score
should have 60 per cent Of the remainder,
and the man making the best ten-shot
score would receive 40 per cent. By this
arrangement the poorer shots had
chance of winning prize.
AS stated, the matter was open to AL,
but the Columbia's men were the only
ones to enter the contest. A number OF
re markedly good runs were made. One OF
the rihemen in particular, +. f. Mason,
astonished those who Witnessed his per-
Torrance. Mr.. Mason shoots in the sec
ond class, but yesterday he held his own
among the champions. In his second run
of 10 Mr.. Mason kept all of his shots
within the ring (Colum bian targeO,
which would have been a possible on a
Creedmoor. On the total he was only four
points behind w. Glindemann, who is one
of the best shots on the coast.
f. 0. Young was another to make
Creedmoor possible in his last string. AT
one time it was believed that Young was
going to carry off the prize for the best
total, but D. W. McLaugh him got in
couple of good strings and went out ahead
by % points.
A. H. Pape came near getting left out in
the cold, but on his forty ninth shot he
brought up Old Glory and won 81.
In computing the scores by the German
ring target system it was founa that sew
eral runs were better than a % German
ring record.
On the Columbia target score of go is
equivalent to a 22-German ring average,
and yesterday three men beat 22-average.

up the total to "a, or "a less than their OPP

with Captain Hogue and Price at the
wicket. The former was disposed Of for a
cipher, West catching him off one of Billy
Robertson's off breaks. G. Theobald of
the Pacitics having contributed a half
dozen, and G. A. Mulch, the Pacifics'
savior" following suit with twice that
number, they were followed by the ever
relia Bile Teddy Hood. He seconded his 81

he was caught by Martin. Cassidy (Pa-
cifcs) added 10 runs more. There were no
other double figures, and the total at the
end of the innings was just 81.
With Isl runs against them the Golden
Gate men started their second inning
Their captain, tthe only Robertson" was
unfortunate enough to succumb to a
V orker of Peel's for a single. Had it not
been for Martin, Townsey, Smith and
Thomas-all of whom played plucky, up
hill game-the side would not have made
so creditable a showing as it did. AS it
was, total of 80 was compiled, making
the grand total 179, and giving Alameda
the game by Sc runs. The fielding on both
sides was excellent and the game, as a
spectacle was treat. The score:

There arc fads in medi-
cines as we'll as everything
else and new thing frequently
sells for q short time simply be-
cause it is new. But in medicine

Hoods sarsaparilla rests upon the
solid foundation of the absolute
merit and its powers to cure, and

What 40 co i Ues Never Done.

Il has never kept gold and silver at a
parity.
It has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical blmetallisn-that is,
the concurrent circulation OF gold and
silver.
The ratio Of sixteen to one was
adapted IN 1884 1t represented tha
then commercial ratio, the market val
ues Of the two metals
In the 4oyears following the adoption
Of this ratio and up to 1914 there were
coined less than 100000 silver dol
lars, or not 50 many by 100000 as We're
coined from January to July in this
year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to.
getaer as equal money. What reason has
Ms. Bryan for his firm conviction "
that they viii DO SO now under free
coinage, when the difference in the COM
neTical ratio is far greater than at any
time during the period from 1894 70

And anchor them fast in heaven.

Away from the evils to come
And thro' the dark valley Of shadows,

Safe from all trial and temptation,
Safe from all sorrow and sin.
The angels that guard heavens portals,
Have welcomed the little one in
He will never tread the rough pathway
So strewn with thorns and strife
The tender hands will not strug gle
