PIGS FOR PRIZES.
Porkers and Turkeys at
Shell Mound.
Marksmen Shoot for Their Thanks
giving Dinners at the Ranges
Across the Bay.

Shell Mound Park and shooting range
was turned into a veritabe barnyard yes
terday at the turkey shoot given by Cap
tain Siebe and the old San Francisco
Fusilleers. There were turkeys, geese,
guinea hens and sucking pigs in all the
profusion and plumpness that could have
been asked for by the most fatidious
housewife, while added to this host of
prospective dainties for next Thursdays
dinner was the excitement of winning one
or more of them as prizes Tor the best
shooting, bowling or the right turn or the
fortune wheel.
1t was the final day Of the season, and
from now until next March there will be
no more picDics or lively gatherings Of
any kind in the park. The patrons Of the
place will have to find amusement at the
shoe ting range aud train the ears of their
lady friends to the noise of army rifles and
small arms.
There was a large attendance at the
range and fair-sZed crowd enjoyed the
day at the pavilion and about the grounds.
Admittance prizes, consisting of pigs and
fowls, were distributed. The winners
we're provided with sacks in which to
carry home their prizes. 'De pigs" that
are written about, generally 60 with the
sack as long as it lasts. but Captain Siebe's
pigs were certainly made of sterner stuff
The minute they were enveloped by the
sack they refused to bulge. and the only
way the porkers could be removed was by
force.
In the bowling alley some fine scores
were made. and as many as five turkeys
out of possible seven were won.
AT the range the shooting was but aver
age, about the only high score being AZ,
made by Sergeant Smith of Company d,
First Regiment. An annual medal shoot
was held by Battery G, Second Artillery.
Lieutenant FL. Huber won the gold medal
with a score of 43, while Private Il. Never.
carried off the silver one with 80 points to
bis credit.
Some good scores were made at the
turkey shoot of the old San Francisco
Fusilleers, now Battery c, Second Artil-
lery. Thirty men competed. aud each re-
eeived bird. There were 400 tickets sold
for Captain Siebe's turkey shoot, and three
