RIFLE-SH0OTING.
Good Scores Made Yesterday by
the California Club.
Medal Contests by the Eintracht aad Califor-
mia Clubs-Bulps-Eye Contests by
the Swiss Rihemen

The shooting clubs were out in force yes
terday at Schuetzen Park. Although the
breeze was blowing with considerable force
the markslnen made excellent scores. The
shooting on an average was the best that
has taken place for long time.
In the contest for medals at the California
Club butts the winners of the first four
medals each made over 400 rings IN twenty
shots, an average of more than 20 for each
shot.
In addition to the good shooting done at
the medal targets the Individual practice
done by members was very fine. H. r.
Brown, in his practice trial, fired four shots
and scored SO rings out of possible 100
His score was as follows: "a, Is, %, %, with
one of the 25s dead center, which was in
dicated by the marker holding his disc in
the center of the target and waving the red
flag, which causes so much joy in the heart
OF every marksman.
+. o. Young fired score of fifty shots in
preliminary practice for the coming match
with the Zettler Club Of New York and
made the good record of 1859 points.
THE COMING CONTEST.
Philo Jacoby, President of the California
who desire to participate in the coming con-
test with the New York Club, will now
commence to practice and shoot scores of
fifty shots, so that their records will be
known. BY this system of practcing the
members will learn whether they can score
sufficient number of points to enter the
team. 1t Will thus be seen that in order to
be placed in the team the only thing neces-
sary Is to make good scores in the practice
trials.
The Eintracht Shooting Section were out
in good numbers to compete for the medals
OF that organization, and some good scores
were made.
The shade that had been placed over the
targets OF the California Club, which gave so
much satisfaction to some and a great
amount of dispeasure tn others, have been
removed Instead of having the targets
shaded they now stand out in the sunlight,
put are printed on manila paper instead OF
the pure white paper as heretofore. This
change has given the greatest amount OF
satisfaction No marksmen were heard tn
complains wonder among riflenen-and
all were pleased with the new targets.
THE SWISS RIFLEMEN.
In addition TO the shooting clubs present
at the park yesterday the Swiss Celebration
Committee held a bulI's-eye shoot open to
the public. The occasion was taken advan-
tage Of by many marksmen and the red
flag, which indicated thaf bull's-eye had
been made, was kept constantly in motion.
Many Of the Swiss rifiemen from the inue-
rior of the State took medals home with
them as an indication of their good marks
manship.
