THE CALIFORNIA CLUB.
At the buiPS-cye shoot of the California
Club some very good work was done, many
of the members making ten, eleven and
twelve bull s-eyes in their twenty shots. At
a bulPs-eye shoot all shots that do not
strike within a circumference of six inches
from the center of the target are counted as
misses. 1t will therefore be seen that when
ten or more shots are placed in this circum-
ference some very good shooting has been
done. The best of feeling prevailed among
the marksmen in their friendly rivalry, and
as each rif-man scored bull's-eye his sue
ces~ful effort received the cheers of his
comrades. The successful contestants in
their order Of winning were as follows:
