An Interesting shoot Nearly Nine Years

The following account of the
first military shooting match ever
held in the Hawaiian Islands is
clipped from a city paper Of Aug
ust, 1887:
On Saturday afternoon a shoot
ing match took place at the range
of the Hawaiian Rifle Association,
King street, between picked teams
Of ten from Companies b and ID of
the Honolulu Rifles. 1t was the
first military shooting match
ever held here, and was attended
with much success. 1t was not a
very good day for shooting as the
wind was very gusty and change
able. The light was also very
heavy. A good deal Of credit is
due Captain Unger for the way in
which he coached his team Com
pany B won the match by seven
teen points. Following is the full
score, each man firing ten rounds
at 200 yards:

faithfuiness Secured Him tho superin-
tendency Of Railroad.
Division Superintendent Fraser Of the
Southern Pacific who lives at Fresno and has
charge of the company's lines in the San
Joaquin valley, is a bright, capable railroad
officer. He Is a comparatively new man In
the state and owes his present position to
the interest the millionaire president of the
road has taken in him for several years
At one time he was connected with the
Kentucky Central road.
Ten or twelve years ago an incident oc-
Cured that first brought Fraser under the
notice of Mr. Huntington. The latter had
just completed the construction Of the Ken
lucky Central, and one day, happening TO
be at Rockport, KY, thought he would
take a ride. He boarded the train on which
Fraser was conductor. The latter did not
know the owner of the road and had not
the least idea what manner of man he was.
Going through the train collecting tick
cts, Conductor Fraser eventually reached
Huntington, who was gazing interestedly
through the car window as the train was
crossing the high and long bridge over
Green river.
"Ticket, please" said the conductor to
the rich man.
With start Huntington turned around
In his seat and hurriedly felt in his pockets
for one of the many passes heis in the habit
Of carrying. He could not find one, as be
fore going to Rockport he had left his pri
vate car at Louisville, and all Of his passe,
were in another coat in the car.
1--WE not got my passes with me, but it,,
all right, I'm Mr.. Huntington" remarks
the magnate as he continued to feel his
pockets for pasteboard.
"Mr. WhoW asked Fraser.
"Mr. Huntington, the owner Of the trair
and this road, SIR" replied the "all-the
traffic-will-bear" apostle.
II can't take your word for that, sir, and
must have ticket or the cash." said tn,
ticket collector.
But, tell you, Pm the owner of tn,
road, and that ought to be sufficient"
That may all be true" remarked the
conductor, but IL were to believe all tn.
stories hear from passengers who max,
excuses about losing their tickets or theil
money would soon be discharged for moi
doing my duty. Pm instructed to collect
ticket or cash from every passenger. Now
cannot take your word as to who you are
and II, as you say. you have left your passe.
behind you must pay cash. II you don't
I'll have to put you off at the next station.
Mr.. Huntington had to yield up 90 fol
fare.
The next day when Fraser learned thai
the passenger he had made pay fare wa.
really the owner Of the road he handed II
his resignation, but it was not accepted.
Huntington told the story as good jok,
on himself and praised the conductor fo
his devotion to duty. He did not forget tn,
incident, either, and finding Fraser compe
tent promoted him on several occasions be
fore finally bringing him out here.-SaI
Francisco Examiner.
