HISTORY OF THE CLUB.
| The California Club is without a doubt
| the largest and most influential body of
| marksmen not only In the United States but
| in the world. Up to the present time they
| have come out victorious in every rifle con-
| test In which they have participated. For
many years they have had an open challenge
to any regularly organized club in any part
| of the world to meet them at the butts.
| The match was open to any conditions. The
number OF men to participate, the style Of
| arm used and the amount Of the purse was
| at the option of the club accepting that
| sweeping challenge.
| ITS ORIGIN.
| Few societies can boast of such noble
| origin as the California SchuetZen Club.
| 1t was started for the express purpose of de-
| Tending the honor of California at the
| great centennial rifle competition in Phila-
| delphia in 1876. Circulars had been sent in
| 1875 by the Commissioners OF the Centen-
I NAL Exhibition to representative marksmen
in every State Of the Union and to Europe,
| informing them that a great shooting
festival would be held during the exhibit
! ton, and that q team-shootiDg for cham
| pion goblet would take place ON July 9Th !;
| teams to be composed of seven men, condi-
tons ten shots each at 200 yards, the tar
| get having twenty five rings, half inch
apart; TO be able to compete team mem
bers must belong to societies affil-
ated with the American Sharpshooiers'
| Union. Being confident that there were just
1 as good marksiGen in California as any
| where else. Messrs. P. Jacoby. A. Strecker,
| A. Rahwhyler. William Kn,nig, William
