scores at Harbor V;ew.
The large number of marksmen who Wis
tied shell Mound yesterday were favored
with a fine day for shooting. The light was
steacy, and the wind was Just strong enough
to,lake away the powder smoke and allow
a clear atmosphere.
Tie officers of the Third Regiment showed
up in force. They were all anxious TO ros-
sess the Savage Medal. Lieutenant-Col-
onel O'ConnOr, who has had possession OF
this trophy for the past year, used the
utmost endeavor to retain it for one year
longer. His effort. however, was unavailing
AGAINST the gallant assault Of Lieutenant
Kehrlein of Company B.
The condition under which the Savage
Medal is to be competed for is that all the
officers of the Third Regiment who shall
participate will shoot five shots each, and
the officer scoring the highest in his shoot
viii be entitled to the possession OF the
medal for one year.
In the competition for this medal mach eX-
citement and merriment prevailed. When
an officer entered the shootng-box his COM
rades encouraged him to do his utmost, and
when q center vas scored for the fortunate
marksman a hearty cheer went up for his
success. On the other hand, when bad
shot was marked which by the way was not
often, the rineman was guyed on all sides.
Il. was generally supposed that Lieutenant
Colonel O'Conner would again be the lucky
competitor for the Savage Medal Not un-
til Lieutenant Kehrlein stepped into the box
did this opinion change. When the Lieu
+z4,r 1 .Ff o.lC fpttr nd fol
lowed it up with three successive bulls
eyes his comrades were cheering and COLI
graduating i III on all sides. Many OF his
friends urged him TO finish his record with
center. In the excitement OF the contest he
fired a little haSty and got shot tTlile TO
the right Nevertheless he made the eX-
cellent score of % out of a possible %. Be-

with the other companies of their regiment,

Company B of the Third Regiment was
. out in full force. This company always ap-
, pears at the butts Ia strong numbers and
does more to keep Up an active interest n
Shooting matters than any other company
In the regiment. II every company in the
. National Guard had officers at its head who
were as enthusiastic and earnest as the OIL
d GERS Of Company b, the State would possess
gmIlitia unsurpassed in the United States.
:. tUlonel Barry Of the regiment was present
and urged the men to go in and do their
best. The members were competing for
Their yearly medals, and each did his best
t. score a success. The rue of the company
, is that the man in each class who makes the
seven highest scores during the year Will be
emitted to the medal of his class. This COM
many will shoot match with Company Z at
Petaluma on Sunday next. Company is,
With6utdOubt the second company OF the

The scores of u. r. Brown and f. l..
PTltChaTd show them to be excellent marks
men in their class. The scores for the
second, third and fourth classes are far above
: the average, and shows that the company Is
possessed Of growing marksmen.
The City Guard, composed of members of
Company b, First Regiment held their
monthly shoot Yesterday and made some
gOUd scores. Although many of their best
men. did not come up to their usual average,
the result on the whole was satisfactory.
Ma one, especially marksmen. can expect to
be in trim all the time, and if occasionally
. they make bad score this IS no reason
why they should COMPLAIN. This is where
the poor shots get In and have chance TO
crow Following is the score Of the City
Guard:
