Poor Attendance and Small Scores at
Union Gun Club Shoot.

ALAMEDA, April 23.-The Union Gun
Club held its regular monthly shoot to-
day at the grounds of the Lincoln Gun
Club, Alameda Point. The wind and rain
had a depressing effect on the sportsmen
and the attendance was not large. The
gale that blew across the marshes sent
the clay pigeons skimming at uncertain
angles and resulted in the scores falling
far below the average. The scores in the
first event, the handicap shoot for the
club medal, were as follows:
Peterson %, Fisher q, Debenham "A,
Hoyt is, NJ. Mcdonnell Is, Spiro "A, Schroe-
der r. Itgen 10, Bellhoff 4, Nicholson 10,
Trask 10, Heine 10, Bickerstaff IS, Thomas
8, Gibson II, Lewis G, j. Mcdonnell 8,
Mitchell Is, Orr s.
The final event was a club race at %
birds. The result follows:
Bickerstaff II. Fisher 49, Hoyt II, Mitch

Motto and Mercy May Again
Met and the Former Dog
Secured the Elan

The great feature of yesterdays cours-

of the open stake, which resulted in a
victory for the former dog.
The open stake was won by Lawrence,
and the runner-up was Moondyne The
entries were not up to the usual stand

The hare took all the run out of both
dogs, but when the flag was up Miss

The sapling stake was great chance
for the youngsters to make a good show

well did they make their initial run.
Pat Horgan carried off the honors in the
class but he was well seconded by his
kennel companion, Manila. The first

both these dogs. The results of the day

was such that few complained Of the alb

ing a crackaiack when she is in form.
Owing to the chilly, windy weather the
attendance was not so large as usual in
