Alameda Point was the scene of two in
teresting events in the sporting world yes
terday. At the Pacific Tournament As
sociation grounds the first grand inani-
mate target tournament OF the Golden
Gate Gun Club was appropriately cele-
brated, and, as was anticipated, attracted
very large attendance of compe titors.
The Empire Gun Club also closed the blue
rock season with its final club shoot and a
special prize match for lady mem bers.
The executive of the Golden Gate Gun
Club and all who helped to promote that
organizations initial tournament have
every reason to congratulate themselves
upon an unquestionable success. Startin G
at 9:30 A. NJ, the various events of the
comprehensive programme were pulled off
punctually and with scarcely any bitches.
This happy state of affai irs is in q great
measure attributable to the efforts of
SANDY" Allen, the manager of events,
and to his assistant manager, T. L. Lewis.
The judges were J. r. d. Grubb, Ii. A.
Hoyt and Charles Sonntag, whose deci-
sions were rarely appealed from.
The day was chiefly remarkable for a
feature which will doubtless recommend
itself to the adheTents of the ''new
woman" movement. The Empire Gun
Club, as already intimated, introduced a
ladies match into its programme and the
Golden Gate Gun Club did the same for
the first time in its history. Mrs. Els
feldt of the former club created quite a
sensation by breaking eight out of ten
birds, performance which, when criti-
cized independently of the sex of the fair
markswoman, was an excellent one.
In the case of the ladies' match at the
Golden Gate Gun Clubs tournament Mrs.
Price was awarded the special prize for q
score of out of ten singles, while Mrs.
Eisfeldt. less successful than in her earlier
achievement over the way, won the first
prize, with a score of 2 also.
The two most exciting events of the day
at the tournament were admittedly
the prize shoot, twenty singles, and the
shoot-off for the novice gold medal, fifty
birds, straight away. Henry Betten of
coveted trophy last August, but on this
occasion Mr.. Huber secured it temporar-
lily, with a total score of 43, as against
Betten's &c. The medal must be won two
years running before it becomes the abso-
Lutte property OF any competitor; so next
years tournament is bound to prove
doubly exciting. The prize shoot was di.
vided up into thirteen classes, and resulted
as fellows. The aggregate scores are
