The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-01-05

THE GRUTLI MEDALS.
As usual, the members of the Grutli Club
assembled in force to show their proficiency
in piercing the deceptive bulPs-eye. The
medals of this club are among the hand
soonest offered by any Of the sporting organ
izations. As consequence the members do
their best to become possessors Of the tro-
phies.
While the shooters entered into the differ
ent contests at hand with good nature the
complaint about tho poor light was general
on all sides. In the morning the weather
was cloudy and dark, and it was hoped as
the day grew older the clouds would lift and
make good Workmanship possible. All be-
lieved that the afternoon would produce the
clear and steady light desired by rifiemen.
In this the shooters were disappointed. for
as the afternoon approached rain began
to fall, resulting in a thick, heavy atmos-
phere, causing the smoke to be low in the
range, thus adding to the general poor con-
dition of the weather. Surprise was ex-
pressed by many expert ritlemen that the
scores made were so good. Taking all con-
dltlUns together yesterday was the poorest
seen for many years for good work at the
butts.
Many of the rifemen believe in the old
axiom that "a poor beginning makes a good
ending, and hope that the sentiment Will
prove true.
THE CALIFORNIA CLUB.

hard to win the champion medal. All the
crack shots OF this well-knOwn club did their

IN such adverse acclimatic conditions. and
