SATURDAYS CONTEST.
The members OF the California Club can
not understand why they have not heard
from their Eastern competitors. Every one
who took part in the match of Saturday was
positive that a dispatch would be awaiting
them on their arrival in this city telling of
the result of Zettler Club shoot In New
York, but no dispatch was received until
late last night The news then received
states that the members of the Zettler Club
made an aggregate of 1858 rings. II this
news is correct they have beaten the home
team by 70 rings.
This is the second time the Zettlers and
the California Schuetzen Club have conf
Deted against each other. July 9th, 1876,
in the centennial rife competition, at Phia-
lenhia the California SpbnetZpn Climb
team, who carried off the first honors, beat
the Zettlers 152 rings in 20 shots no shots
per man). The California SchuetZen Club
team shot at half-inch ring target the fol-
lowing score:
