RIFLE PRACTICE.
A Good Many Marksmen at
Schuetzen Park, San Rafael.
Bulrs-Eye Contests Of the California and
Grutli Clubs-Meda Shoot of the Tur-
ners-The California Cadets.

The threatening weather yesterday did
not prevent large number of deVotees Of
| the spiral groove from indulging in their
! favorite pastime of putting holes in the de-
| lusive buiPs-eye.
The shooting range at SchuetZen Park
was we'll filled during a greater portion of
the day by a considerable number of rife
men. Although the day proved to be dark
| and gloomy there were some very good
scores made, and on the whole it was better
| than if the sun had been shining brightly
and caused glare on the targets.
The California Schuetzen Club and the
Grutli Riffs Club held their monthly bulls
| eye shoot. and the members showed by
their enthusiasm whenever a red flag was
waved by the markers how anxious they
! were to strike that desired spot. In Bulls
eye contests it is necessary to place the bull
let within three inches of the center in
order for the shot TO count. and whenever
the accurate rifleman does this the marker
indicates the same by waving red flag.
The Turner's Shooting Section were at
the range to compete for the medals which
the club offers monthly, aud many close
scores were the result
The cadets of the California SchuetZen
Club were also out in open competition TO
indulge in medal and bulrs-eye contest.
TIE CALIFORNIA CLUB.
There is always a good deal of enthusiasm
and good natured rivalry attached to
bulPs-eye contest. No markSman can tell
the real value Of his shot, All that he knows
is that when bulI's-eye is marked in bis
favor that he has come within thee inches
OF the center. But how much nearer he
does not know until the contest is ended
| ana all the shots are measured. The high
est prize Is always awarded 10 the marks
man who comes the nearest to the center,
not tothe one who scores the most Bulls
eyes. One ritieman may make dozen
| bulPs-eyeS in bis twenty shots and not win
prize; While his opponent may make but
one and come out head man. The lucky
men in Yesterdays contest are as follows:
John UtschIg, +. c. Muller r. Stettin, F.
Kuhls, A johnson, II. Gambel, Il. Heeth,
