The nienibers.of Hie different rifle clubs --of' the city assembled, in force yesterday at ILtrbur View. It was the first dry Sunday they had in three weeks, and the number t bat presented themselves before the targets showed that they intended to take advantage of the pleasant weather. Although no rain fell while the marksmen were at work, the day was not a Rood one for fine 'score*. The light kept constantly changing— first bright, then dark; as a consequence, high nnd low shots were tne order ot. theday. " • : The California Schutzen Club turned out in force, and kept live targets in constant operation.

. The statement. made in a morning contemporary in regard to the challenge of H. i;. Brown and A. Johnson against the two .'liighcbt men in the State militia contest of 'Saturday last, conveys the impression that tin- challenge directed against Messrs. Emnion?. and Kellogg, This is not the fact, as the challenge of' Brown ami Johnson for §100 aaiiie was made two weeks prior to the rinal State shoot, and was intended to show that although they themselves did not qualify, they would eet the winners on the terms stated. These marksmen also wish ii tor: bo understood that they never made ..the .as-prtiim that the winners of Saturday's ni'atch'.did not rei resent the best riflemen in 'tile State, .- both Einmoiis and Kellogg are ■\yellTfeiio-wu military .-hots and have brilliant ■■^"Oore-s.. ,n (heir records as .■ marksmen. ..VJfiong- these, four m^.'k-n/en tho warmest ..irteiidu baa always prevailed, and if a lbatch should be ever entered into, it is safe to ?ay;thMt a friendly contest will b« the resultr: .The conditions unaer which the liiial. State shoot was arranged, it appears did.' not give 'satisfaction.* to any ■ nf the euar'dstoeJi of the State. In the first place it «as impossible, to and out just bat was -eipected of them, and although a representative of The Call waited upon AdjutantGeneral Orton he couM give no information us- to \vliat -the sharpshooters would be required to do. It is hoped that at the next annual competition that a definite underetaniling will be had, and that before a shot will be Bred every guardsman in the State will know' precisely what is reuuired of him, nod whpu and where and under what con.dltfdos the final shoot will be had. \ ■;. :.'.. -THE CALIFORNIA CLUB.

. ; Thp createst' amount of enthusiasm pre■":vailed ainung ti e members of the California :- I'lu.L- snd a Stermiued effort was made on . tire part ef .the 'champions to take the chammedal .. from Fred Kuhn'e. In this : tljpy were unsuccessful, for the old veteran ' proved hy his cood score of 4^S that he still ; frrid hl3 own amons the champion marks- . -.uii-a of the State. This is the first time in -• the' history of the club that any marksman lias iriit-ii off the championship medal on lbr«ecqn«ecutiv« occasions in the first three ,> hoots of the year.

CHAMPION MEDAL. The accompanying cut represents the medal given by the California Schuetzen Cluo. for the member making the Msl>o-t score .during the year 1890. In the first two months of the year, the medal was won by A. btrecker with the eood score 0f 440 r mgs. la me month of March Fred Kuhule made the brilliant record of 450 rings and captured the trophy. Much rivalry has always ex'ted among the members of. this crack club to become possessors of the medal, and when the year closed and showed that none were able to lower the score of Kiihnle he was creeled by all as their champion marksman. ■ 1 he trophy is a very valuable one and made in ah artistic and handsome style. ■ '■ AT SUELL MOUND. Monthly Mnlal and Practice- Shoot of Company C . First Infantry. . The attendance yesterday at Shell Mound Park' rifle-range was exceedingly slim, thouch the day was all that could be desired for practice. Captain. Irvine B. Cook of Company C, First Infantry Regiment, came over early in the afternoon, and with a few warriors held a monthly medal and practice shoot. Some excellent scores were made in this contest. Captain Cook kept up his record for " close fours," and .in the medal shoot scored 43. • . In this contest Corporal L. K. Townsend scored 41 with his rifle, and in the practice shoot improved upon this record wren a pencil,, making 43 by "doctoring a reporter's notes. The Corporal Is a good shot, probably one of the best in the National Guard. Years of practice, a quick eye find steady nerve, have combined to place him in the front rank of marksmen, but he is beset with an all-consuming ambition to become the best shot in the world, and, like all ambitious men, he has his moments of foreetfulnes-i. • Great ambition is a certain kind of insanity and always entails upon the unhappy possessor dire results. Everything is lost sight "f but the object sought. Reason puts on a mask and the brain becomes darkened ami confused by delirium or madness. It was during one of these dreadful intervals yesterday afternoon that Corporal Townsend made 43 with his pencil. The scores in the medal shoot were as follows: CHAMPIOS CLASS. Total. A. F.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the athletic members of the Olympic Club and about 200 spectators gathered at the club grounds ce:tr Goidea Gate Park to witness the termination of the club's tournament. Tie sky was overcast and the clouds threatened to precipitate their; floods on the devoted beads ol the lovers of sports, but. that did not matter much for the grounds were never in better trim mr the contestants more ready. The first part of the tournament was held on the 23d lilt., and the only contests left over for yesterday were the pole-vaulting and broad-jumping. The first was won by 1.. Ilinz with J. T. Schuster and A. Hoffmann tie for sec : place, and the broad jim was won by Hoffman with C. J. Schuster second. The crowds then dispersed and the members adjourned to the club-rooms to await the judges' announcement, which is as follows (the points on the first contests not having been previously given out are included):

The above table is made out for a total of ICO points, divided as follows: Twenty points each for all feats on the bars, horses, buck, and riiiM-i, and five points each lor runninp. climbing, vaulting, jumping «nd puttlne shots. It will be readily seen from the table that C. J. Schuster won the first I. lace in all-around events and six special first prizes, including Ihe parallel bar, side horse, long horse, buck, rope-climbing and rings. A. Hoffmann stood second in the allpvimiU contest and won three special firsts prizes, namely, piittin? a sixteen-pound shot, broad jump End 100-yard run. J.T. Schuster stands third, with one special first ; prize — the one-mile run. The other winners of first prizes (^peciap nro: C. Hartman, horizontal bar; 1.. Ilinz, fence vault- , ing; V. tieeker. hiiih jump. The. judges were: 11. 1.. I'll", V. Uth and J. IlainmDrsinitb. Their decisions have given universal satisfaction among the conants. : : . '. ..' . THE FRISCO TEN Give a Successful Athletic Kilillilton and ■ ' Social. . The second athletic exhibition and < social: of the "Fri«co Ten,* 1 a local amateur athletic association, was given last night in the San Francisco. Turn Vcrein Hall, 323 Turk street. An excellent programme • was arranged for the evening's entertainment, . and the large attendance testified to the ' merit at the different numbers by frequent and loud applause. '.' The exhibition commenced with exercises on the single horizontal bar by C. J. Schuster, John Schuster, T. lioulr, Arthur Kelter.apd Eddie Stack. Then followed some clever club-swineing by Louis Hint/, after which- Arthur Kelter and P. Boulo wrestled two bouts cateh-as-cateli-can style. •Kelter was the heavier of the two, and, after a. hard struggle, laid Uoulo on the ■carpet. • Boulo reversed' the order of things in the second bout and gained the referee decision after- but a moment's tussle. Ed and John Stack gave an Interesting exhibition of parlor acrobatics, and then It. LeandV.?»* John Stack showed the athletic possibilities -of the double horizontal bar while Ben P.ocner acted the clown to the' life. Louis Ilintz. J. and C. J. Schuster, A Eelter and P. lioulo followed in some clever

work on the parallel bars, and R. Leando I Stack, P. Boulo and E. Stack came nest with some ground and lofty tumbling. The last number was a three-round boxing exhibition between P. Doulo and John Stack. M. Espinoza, who was to have sparred with Boulo was unable to be present and Stack volunteered to.take his place. Boulo, though meeting a much heavier and taller opponent, displayed his science in cood style, and fully sustained his title of champion amateur light-weight. Taking it all through the exhibition was one of the best given by amateurs In the city for many a day. . , A programme of fourteen dances, for which L. yon der Mehden's Orchestra furnished good music, concluded the evening a entertainment. . . The following were the committees who had charge: Committee of ArrangementGred Gunthcr, Alfred Furth.

COUKSIXG AT NEWARK. ' An Unusually Fine Hay's Sport for Lovers of the Leash. The coursing men seem never to tire. Fully 100 of them were at Newark yesterday to witness and Join in the sport of the open meeting advertised by J. Shea. The stake on this occasion was for ten dogs at £5 each. The day was very fine and a more enjoyable coursing meeting lias not been held on the park for some time. The coursing -was fully up to the best, the hares and the dogs giving all possible satisfaction. Mark Devlin and Nelly lily had a very fine run, the old dog, to the surprise of all, civing the "crack" quite a spin for the honors, which, of course, she got eventually. Havock was 100 much for Tom Moore and won easily. Glen Farron and Whip bad a very fine course, which the former won after a very

long chase. Catherine Ilnyes and Sain Xnsh both had a lot of admirers and money went en each briskly. When they were slipped bam led

for a considerable distance] but when closing on the game Catherine went like a shot to the front and got first turn and then succeeded snob a course as is but seldom seen in any field, Catherine completely doing Bain up and winning with a good bit to snare. " Chicopce Lass was altogether too good for I'ippin Jr. and won easily. In the second round Nelly lily and Ilavoc had a very pretty course. Nelly is faster from the slip, but once work commences Havoc is a ditlinilt dog to beat, and in this course she showed this and the judges gave it an undecided. Glen Farron and Catherine had a very fine course, the former won. Kelly and Havoc were again railed out to settle tie undecided, which Nelly won in a canter. In the third r raid >"elly IS'.yand Chicopee Lass « ere called up, and after a very line trial Nelly went down before the Lass. Glen tarron and Chieopee were then left for tin final, and when the half-hour's grace was up the pair was handed to the slipper. The Lass was a strong favorite in the pools. They were soon slipped to a line bare, and both docs ran for 200 yards as if they were in slips, the Lass eventually getting first turn, but there the dog put on a spurt that astonished the lookers-on and the backers of the bitch, and the rest of the coarse was his, winning with ease. No finer trial lor a final course could be witnessed. The following is the summary: J. Byron* Nelly lily beat T. T. Brady's Mark Devlin; P. 1). Nolan's Havoc beat T. T. Brady's Tom Moore; M. Tiernnn's Glen Farrun beat J. Cranston's Whip; M. Tierliari's Catherine Hayes beat T. J. Crania's Sam Nash; T. J. Cronln's Chicopee Lass beat .1. ron's Pippin Jr. ■ Second round— Nelly lily beat Havoc; Glen Farron beat Catherine Hayes; Chicopee Lass a bye. • Third round— Chicopee Lass beat Nelly Bly; Glen Farron a bye. Finale— Glen Farron beat Chicopee Lass and won the stake, $20; Chicopee took £12 and Nelly lily •& J. R. Dickson officiated as judge and J. Shea us slipper. There were several private matches during the alternoon during all of which line coursing was had. : HANS-BALL GAMES. Two Local dubs Indulge in Several ».<...! Co&tostoa Uand-bail, according to the amount of (.'rumbling its admirers have indulged in lately, does not seem to prosper much in the rainy weather. The local courts are oicn, and, necessarily, the players are stripped to the liehtest possible clothing, which makes plnyinc between storms mere of a toil than a pleasure. Yesterday the Union and San Francisco clubs bad several games each in the mid-day. SPB At ilie Union Club several four-handed games were had. James O'Dounell and Peter Hntchinson were i itted against James McDerinott and Arthur Kelly, »nd gained n straight rob from them. John Kcardon and Hugh Toner played A! Pennoyer and John Condon two rubs. The first was won by the former in the second and third names, and the second by the latter in the first and third carries. The tie will be played off next Sunday. Thomas Tierimy and William Farrel won the first and third games of a rub with J. Kenny and John Cook, l'iernay thereupon issued a challenge to play any one of the three next Sunday for a purse. The San Francisco Club had a match between James Wrenti and Jean Vogelsang and Kobert Shields and Thomas Kyan. It was won by the former by two straight games. Thomas Ryan, Hugh .McCoriuU-k and Samuel Kenney played and won the first and third games in a rub with Jean Vogelsang, T. liaskins and C. Hoffman. - THE OAKSBEN. li' i r Regntta Again l'ostponed — Meeting ■ of the Ariel*. Owing to the roughness of the water the rowing races which were to have taken place at Long Bridge yesterday were postponed. The committee having the affair in charge met in the Ariel boat-house and decided to change tho course to the Alameda < Mole. The Ariel Rowing Club held a regular monthly ni' etinir at their boaUboose yesterday, John Muirhend presiding. The captain was authorized to order i^iree sets of oars for the four-oared boats. Eight propositions for inembeisbip were received.
