everywhere in moment and with
seemingly more than its ordinary harsh
ness.
"Bullseye for Streeker," somebody
yelled when that peerless riieman brought
up red flag at the butts.
"Bullseye for Utschig," shouted an
other, only half minute later. The re-
naming few minutes were passing quickly
ABOUT now, and at every table and firing
station there were some remarkable re-
suits accomplished in hasty loading and
rapid firing. Every marksman on the
range wanted to get just one more shot,
and when he got that he wanted just one
more. The "baIf-a-minute-mOre" call
caused a perceptible shudder, and the
rivalry became more intense if possible
and in teresGing. Rifles cracked with ln-
creased violence, and there was just about
time enough for another quick shot.
'Babin, bullseye," came from a stall at
the right end of the range and the next in
slant Shooting master Carroll ordered the
firing to cease. The long-oeardeo VlctoF
threw his silk hat as high as the root
would allow and every one crowded
around Babin with congratulations. This
was one of the famous victories up 70 that
time and every one had TO decorate his
interior with some dam peuing commodity
in proper celebration of the event.

quiet conviviality, without the rattle OF
muSketry was something OF relief, COM
ing at the right tine.
Some minutes before ! o'clock the
marksmen went at it again. BY this time
a large number of rifiemen from the city
had come in on late trains, and with these
re-enforcemsnts things were made mora
lively than before.
1t was rather early in the afternoon
when Strecker completed his big scors for
the kingly hOnors. 1t was pretty generally
conceded even then that Strecker's record
would not be surpassed. The total
recorded to his credit for 200 shots on
what is called the point target is OF extra
ordinary merit. He shot by ticket, eight
shots being allowed on every card pur-
chased. The possibleItotal for each shot

RUNNING RACES.
Programme for the Last Day of
the Golden Gate Fair.

Five races for runners is the programme
offered TO wind up the seven days meeting
of the Golden Gate Fair Association at
Bay District track this afternoon. In
spite of bad weather during the whole of
last week, excellent races were run,
trotted and paced, and the meeting can be
called a success from a racing point of
view, though it is doubtful whether there
will be profit for the association. To-
morrow the next fair on the California
grand circuit opens. The prospects are
for the best meeting held in PetalumR for
years. There is a larger entry list for the
different troiting and pacing events than
ever before received, while the applica-
tions for space in the pavilion are very
numerous. The weeks racing at Peta-
luna will be devoted entirely to harness
events.

for the events to be run at Bay District
track this afternoon:

: AdelRh Strecker made another venture
in,the king business yesterday. He didn't
don any purple or sport crown and scep-
ter. but he showed himself pretty much of
a king in the craftsmanship line.
1t was over at the grounds of the Cali
lfornia Schuetzen Club near San Rafael
that Strecker cOntrived to hitch himself to
"a shooting kngship. In rather remark
able rife contest of 200 shots on the 900
yard range he found the center for 1856
points, which over-scored the achieve
cmebts of his fellow msrksmen by some
;. thing like forty credits. These fellow
mRrKsmen are rated frst-class riflemen
and even their scores were very meritori-

TAILORS TO STRIKE.
The Journeymen's Union Refuses to
Grant a Reduction.

A special meeting of the general body of
the Journeymen Tailors' Union, called
Saturday night, adjourned st l o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t was quite q stormy
and lively meeting and was called for the
purpose of ordering men out on strike.
dart Bros, Brandt 81 Co., fashionable
Ia lIors, desired to have the union reduce
wages 10 per cent. A short time ago
Meyer, on Suffer street, desired a reduc-
ton of 90 per cent. The request was re-
fused and the men were ordered out. They
are still out.
After long debate the men In Hart
Bros, Brandt & Co.'s establishment were
ordered to quit work, and this morning
they will not report for duty. Altogether
fifty men are involved.
The question of the making of letter
carriers uniforms by Feehheimer Bros. &
