Poulter of the Fifth Scores Forty
Nine Points in a Contest With
Regimental Champions.

What in German they call "deutsche
gemuethlichkeit" was the order of the
day over at the Shell Mound grounds. Oh
the Berkeley shore. yesterday. Twice
three hundred members and friends OF the
Sau Francisco Schuetzen VeTein gathered
at the pretty park, those Of the organiZl-
tion to do battle al the rife range and the
others intent on entertainment, fully as
agreeable, but Of q widely different char
acter. The day was evidently SCI apart
for wholesome enjoyment, and not one in
the hilarious throng for moment forgot
the purpose Of his being there. OF course
the shooting was the principal feature.
Every man OF the San Francisco ScnuetzeD
Vereln was in evidence about the range,
and even the least of them III the marks
manship science had 1t in their hearts to
show Utschig and Streeker and the others
of the high classes a thing or three about
target-hItting on festival day.
II was a disagreeable day at Shell
Mound, If marBsmen know anything about
weather. There was a slight wind, uncer-
tain al times and annoying. The targets
showed rather dimly, and the continually
changing lIghtmade II itficult 10 maintain
a proper adjustment of the rife sights.
No remarka Die scores were registered. but
The shooting was not the less exciting.
On the company target. at which only
the members of the Verein were al0we FL
to shoot, Mex Ahre0s made the top score
with GO points to his credit The others in

d. B. FaktoI 5S. This shooting was done
on the 25-ring target, On which the center
or 25-buliseye is of the size of a silver
dollar. The distance was 200 yards and
three shots were allowed, making the pos
siDle score 70.
There was also considerable firing done
al the imam target" which instead of be-
inc the usual circle is a representation of
the upper portion of human figure. In
this competition L. Haake was high with
II points. The other prze-winnerS and
their scores were as follows: John

Jacoby's score was rather interesting from
the fact that each OF his four shots was an
Is. In this contest the distance was also
200 yards and the number of shots four.
The shooting done at the point target
was of the kind that requires several days
and much minute measurement to deter
mine the list of winners. Mum Oerless bul-
lets pierced the black disk, bat the merit
of the shot depends entirely upon the dis

PERMISSION. La The afternoon +. Finking
found the center first and w. GaTms made
the last bullseye of the day. John Utschig,
as usual. left the range with the largest
number of points TO his credit.
At the Shell Mound range the Columbia
Pistol and Rife Club had monthly medal
competition. Remarkable among the scores
made was that Of A. Ii. Pape, one IF the
younger members of the organization.
With a revolver he scored 81 out Of pos
sible 100 and won the club record. The
highest score ever made by the Columba
marksmen was the 60 that HOvey regis.
tered about month ago. This was con.
sidered a superb achievement, and it was
not expected that it would be so soon sur
passed. Pape's score is not allowed to be
the Pacific Coast record, but il is very
near it. If the Columbia Climbs young
champion can add one point 10 his record
of yesterday he will be the best ten-shO
pistol marksman west of the Rockies.
The score of Pape entities him to the
Blandng medal, which is offered by tht
keeper showed the following results of thu
shoot:

There was an extremely interesting con-
Test at Shell Mound Yesterday between
v. /.
Il. Brown of the Third and Frank Poultel
of the Fifth. The men were 1irst-elass
