THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEST
sCHUETZENs AT SAN RAFAEL.

W
turn out very strong yesterday. and conse-
ouently no great amount of shooting was
done at the Schuetzen Park range.
Probably about twenty OF the men who
have entered for the different prizes took
trial at the targets, and they now un-
doubtedly regret that they did so.
The weather was not al all favorable TO
good shooting. a strong breeze blew con-
tinuously, and then the light was change
able and played sad havoc with the vision
of the shooters.
During one minute the sun would shine
brightly, then a few clouds would float
along and completely change the condi-
ton of affairs.
AS a result, the scores made were, as a
rule. far below the average, but occasion
ally some one managed to peg up sufficient
points to attract more than ordinary at
tenJIon.
The Columbia Rifle Club which hereto
fore has played a secondary part in the
festivities came to the front with a rush
during the day, and made itself an im-
portant factor in the contest
At The Golden Gate range where the
crack shots among the contestants try
their skill COlum bia men did all the good
shooting, and when the days sport ended
the Columbia Club had a strong lead for
the first prize, with the prospect OF having
it eventually become the property of a
COlum bian shooter.
In addition to the international contest
several military companies and fraternal
orders with shooting adIuncts tried their
luck at the butts.
Company A of the "Dandy Fifth" had
team out which succeeded IN doing some
very fair shooting.
The Company F shooters were also on
hand, and rather surprised themselves by
their excellent work.
