WITH THE TRAP SHOOTERS
The Last Day of the California
State Sportsmen's Tour.
nament.
Semi. Monthly Contest of the Empire
Gun Cub Held at Alameda
Point.

The third and last days trapshooting of
the California State Sportsmen's Associa-
TONS tournament was held yesterday at
the Oakland Trotting Park. The attend
ance was larger than on either of the pre-
ceding days, and between times many of
the shotgun enthusiasts amused them
selves in small matches upon inanimate
targets near by. Many of the d-time
snapshots were present and told how they
killed pigeons in years gone by. There
was one man present who never misses a
match, nor has he for twenty years past.
He is old man Price, the trapper.
This aged trapper has manipulated the
strings in nearly all the matches held on
the bay, and when in reminiscent mood
Price can tell many anecdotes of sports
and sportsmen of other years, and in
many cases he can tell to a bird how
many each sportsman killed in the big
matches. He has trapped almost con-
stantly for the association since it was
inaugurated, fourteen years ago.
The first event yesterday was a six-bird
match, which resulted in six ties on clean
scores. These ties were shot off in the Sec
ond match and three of them, Fendner.
Tanning and Robinson, again tied and
divided the purse. The first scores stood:
Fendner 6, Tanning 6, Sedan 6, stilling 6,
Robinson g. Doe q, Haight 4, Courtney 4,
Jones 4, McMurchy 4, Brown g.
The second event was a fifteen bird
match, $40 entrance and $105 in the pool.
1t started out with goodly string of
shooters, but one by one they Withdrew
after few m isses, leaving the purse to be
divided amo & the four VINO made four
teen kills, as seen here:
Robinson IA, Fendner Ia, Webb ID, Tanning
Ia, Brown IA, McMurchy 13.
The third event was on twelve birds.
81 SO entrance. Like the other match
many withdrew, leaving the purse to be
divided among those who made eleven
kills. Score:
Sedan IL. Tanning IL, Webb IL, McMurchy
10, Robinson 10.
The score of the fourth event, twelve
birds, 81 so entrance, was as follows:
Sedan IL, Fendner IL, Haight H. Robinson
IL, McMurchy 10, Nelson D, Wagner 4.
Sedan took first IL oney. Fendner and
Haight divided the second. At least ten
withdrew to save birds.
There was quite number of entries in
the fifth event. an eight-bird match with

THE FIRST CRICKET GAME,
It Was Won and Lost at the
Golden Gate Grounds
Yesterday.
The Alameda and Golden Gate Grounds
Compete, the Former Being
Vic .orious.

The cricket season of 1896 opened yes
terday, with a match between representa-
tive teams of the Alameda and Golden
Gate grounds at Golden Gate. 1t was an
ideal day for the game, and those who
witnessed the contest were amply repaid
for their journey.
The contest resulted in victory for the
Alameda ground, though had time ad-
mitted of its being played to finish the
home team must have won the day. AS
will be seen by the scores the latter were
within six runs of their opponents at the
finish. and that with six more wickets to
fall The play all round was excellent

A number of well-known Oaklanders and
San Franciscans have already secured
summer homes up in these hills. Mr..
Thomas Magee has made a sort of earthly
paradise out OF Alder Farm, where he
spends what playtime he is not disporting
in the high Sierras. Father McNally of
Oakland has Il ranch overlooking both
counties, where he is considering the idea
of coloniZing some of the City's homeless
boys and giving them a chance at useful
lives. Near neighbors to him are j. T.
CIassen and c. c. Crowley, who will shortly
build him home overlooking San Fran
cisco, Oakland, AlamedI and the Golden
Gate.
There is q wonderful vista to be had on
all sides from this ridge. The hills in
front slope gently down to the level, W here,
less than five miles distant, Fruitvale lies,
like a fair garden. Between are orchards
and grainfields, with here and there dark
streaks of vivid green, showing where
some stream traversed ravine takes its
woodsy way. They are mining for gold in
one of these ravines, along the Redwood
road, but with less success than are the
otner prospectors, who, with cultivator
and harrow, are mining the rich soil of the
uplands and gathering their gold from
orchard trees.
Further out we look across to the San
Mateo shore at the left, and on the right
rises Tamalpais in his majesty, the dead
man laid out" seeming almost on q level
with our eyes. The Golden Gate invites
our gaze oceanward, and leads us in imag-
ination through the kingdom of the earth
and the glory thereof. Behind and below
US are green hills and pastures new, rising
even higher. tossed and tum bled toe eether,
until they actually seem to move, falling
over each other, as it were, in their hurry
to scale the heights to where Diablo lifts
his ragged head. Fifteen hundred feet is
the elevation here. but SO easy is the grade
that one scarcely realizes the climb So
wide and wonderful is the outlook that
it's hard to believe half an hours drive
will take US into East Oakland.
II ere is the paradise of wild hcwerseek-
ers. The woods and hillsides are blaze
of glory this spring. One comes upon
rounded eminences purple with the wild
hyacinth or white with cream cups. A
mile above Dimond Canyon the wild
pansy grows, bright yellow, with purple
center and a dash of the same color
at the back of the two upper
petals. There are many varieties of NAL
low, and representatives of the great lilv
family grow in rank profuson everywhere.
In the woods the aZaleas are in blossom.
and the huckleberry, with which the hills
are covered, is just beginning to show its
beautiful white flowers. Later on the
berry pickers will be out in force for this
is happy hunting ground for those who
do not believe with Thorean that no one
ever really succeeded in getting a buckle
berry into town.

noon when ]. Harlow, the coast champion,

ship for many years, played against P. t.
Donnelly, the amateur champion, and T.

sented to the winner by Phil Ryan, the
proprietor of the court 1t was also the
first time that Harlow and Riordan had
played together.
