RIFLE CONTESTS.
At Schuetzen Park, Shell Mound
and HarbOr View.
Bulps-Eye and Medal Shoots at the Ranges.
Good Scores Made by the Contest
ants-Burning Powder.

Yesterday was busy day at the new
Schuetzen Park. The markers and rifemen
were busy all day long. The former were
eagerly watching the targets to show the
location of the shot, while the latter were
endeavoring to do their utmost to place their
bullets as near the center of the target as
possible.
The California Club held their first bulls
eye shoot, at the new park, and the way
they entered into the contest would lead an
outsider to believe that each marksman
thought his competitor deadly enemy.
This impression was soon dispelled when
the rit1emen settled down to earnest work.
Each bnlPs-eye that was made was heartily
cheered by all the participants, and the best
of good nature was exhibited throughout
the entire contest.
The Turner's held their monthly medal
shoot and close and exciting scenes was the
result. Brown, Helm and Kuhnle all shot
we'll and were keeping SC close to each
others score that it was nobody's fight until
the finish. Each of these marksmen made
the good record of 424 rings out of possible
800. H. r. Brown was the lucky man in
yesterdays contest. When he stepped up
to the firing point TO make his last shot all
eyes were directed toward him. 1t was
necessary in order for him to come out win
ner to make dead center. This he accom-
plished amid the cheers of the spectators
and carried off the champion medal OF the
club.
The Grutli Club was out in force at the
new park for the medal shoot, and did soma
good work.
The Cadets of the California Club entered
into their contest with the vim and enthu-
siasm which always accompanies youth and
ambition.
