Francisco Clubs.


yesterday at the Shell Mound range. He
fired two scores, and made and on the
Colum bian target. The latter score has
| never been eQualed, for it means that at
200 yards, off hand, he placed three shots
| IN an average of a one and a half inch
circle. Heretofore the record has been
held by a. H. Pape OF this city and
Michael Dorrler OF New York on scores OF
6. This shooting yesterday was on the f.
IL. Bushnell medal, a trophy that any one
would be proud TO win. The medal is gold
| watch valued a $780, on which the name
OF the club and the picture OF the donor
are engraved, bes sides the shield of the
organization. Those familiar with such
matters say that it is the most valuable
trophy that has ever been shot for in The
hist ory Of rife shooting in this Sia'e.
Since the beginning of the year Pape
has been in the lead, and from the fact
that he has been considerably IN the lead
it was conceded that he was a sure winner
but these two reme bable scores made by
Young have lrssened his chances bY
many POINTS, for in the days shooting
Young gained nine POINTS, Columbia
target count. Pape Is now 73 and Young
76 .Or the ten best scores and there Is one
more shoot this season.
Young's individual shots were on the
five as follows: l, 2, 2. ana on the four

The Eastern marksmen who are jealous
OF their records have now a new mark to
reach out for

weapons. One OF the members appeared
on The range with a peculiar weapon
known is the automatic repeating pistol
OF the Borchardt patent l. Is one of
few recently imported from Berlin and
com blnes pistol and carpine. The mag
uzIne is in the pistol handle and contains
eight cartridges of a very high-pressure
powder and metal Jacket bullet. The re-
coil ot the charge operates the mechanism
winch throws out the old shell and places
! a new cartridge in the cham ber reaey for
! firing. A Sitting barre! and action takes
| off all OF the kick" or recon.
The trajectory of the bullet is so fiat
! that the sights do not have TO be changed
| for any range from sc TO 200 yards, and
! this was demonstrate BY the shooting
| done at both ranges. AS may be supposed
| the penetration is very great, a bullet be-
| ing bur ed over six inches in cross-grain
| red wood plank. The weapon is easily
| converted into carbine by attaching a
stock by means of thumb screw. The
| tirearm attracted considerable attention.
The general shooting 1, the Columbia
! mem bers was up to the average. In the

| high man for the day on a score Of As, and
