In the race for most points Helm.
Strecker and Faktor are working hard and
doing good work keeping the markers
busv finding the flags rapidly enough 10
satisfy the impatient marksmen. 1t Is IN
possible to predict who will be ahead al
these targeiS at the close of the festival to-
night. as all the contestants are experts
and any of them may he expected to make
remarkable scores.
On the point target some of the marks
men led off well. f. c. Muller made II
points on his first ticket of eight shots. ID.
b. Faktor also scored II points on his first
ticket and Strecker led off with bullseye
for his first shot.
1t was jus about twenty-five years ago
since Strecksr last visited San Jose. That
occasion was also shooting contest by
the Turn VereiD. The first prize was So
bill. which was pinned on the target.
Strecker took careful aim and on his first
shot succeeded iu piercing the bill, which
the marker afterward handed over to him.
The two honorary targets consisted of
the regulation 25-rlng German target of
three-quarter inch space between the rings.
On these targets were distributed many
valua Bile merchandise prizes, which had
been contributed by the merchants of San
Jose, who desire the success of the shoot
ing section of the Turn Vere:n.
On this target eighty priz-s will be dis
trlbuted. valued at about $1,000.
In addition TO the priZas on the point
a
given as premiums for bullseyeS.
The first bullseve in the morning was
won by f. c. Muller and the last by George
Helm. The first buliseye in the afternoon
was captured by +. Schultse, and the last
by DR.. Barker of San Jose,
In addition to the prizes given 10 the
individual marksmen there was also a
handsome silver trophy to be given to the
club whose members make the largest
aggregate number of points. In this COM
petition the California Schuetzen CLUB did
not enter, as they already have won every
trophy for which they have competed. 1t
is generally conceded that the San Fran
cisco SchuetZen Verein will capture this
valuable trophy. The members of this
wel-known shooting organization turned
out in large numbers and did some ex-
| cellent work at the butts.
Among the many participa hts who made
100 points or over NAV be mentioned
George Helm. d. B. Faktor. A. Strecker.
P. Jacoby, F. Schuster. l.. Haake and f.

Although tie club is young in the ma
ter of competitive shooting it did not for
get TO lay down strict rules to govern the
festival. All shooting was off-hand, palm
rest allowed, distance 200 yards. All
rifles except those shooting steel-covered
bullets or over Is calIber and shooting
more than seventy grains Of powder were
allowed.

remained over 10 take part In the con-
clusiOn Of the festival to-day aud it is ex-
pected that they will bring home MANY
trophies 10 evidence of their skill at the
butts.
