gravity Of the situation it was found that
the strikers were interfering with the
police railroad and fire alarm telegraph

men who were using telephone calls were

were met with accurately aimed lead.

noon intermission he broke the black at
the last moment and won another prize.
When it was IL by the Schueizen Club
clocks things had Qnieted down some
what There was lull in the firing, but
as developments proved it was lull w hich
portended events of stormy moment. The
brisk fusiliade of the earlier hours had
slackened up bit and not more than a
score or so of rifles cracked. There had
been for over half an hour a noticeable
calm. Even Philo Jacoby was surprising
ly voiceless, and this is saying a great deal
for serenity at any range. Where
Jacoby is there is interest and ex-
element and enthusiasm in a remarkable
degree. But even the sonl-stirring Jacoby
was silent at this time. All of the shoot
ing being done was on the honorary tar.
get. There was no particular fear among
the men of Strecker's following that any
one would overscOre his record of seventy
two points. This was really an excel lent
score and Strecker was generally con-
ceded the man who had cinch on second
place in the honorary target match. A
week before Fred Schuster had scored
seventy-four out of seventy-ive, and n OF
even his kingship, Adolph Strecker, eu-
tertained very sanguine hopes OF beating
Shuster's total.
The elder Babin was the disturbing ele-
ment during this brief era of quiet. When
every one had about settled down to bar
patronage and a copgenial discussion of
the festival results, there came yell from
the stall in which the elder Babin was
firing.
''Seventy-three for Babin." shouted the
gentleman who kept the score card.
Strecker paled, Jacoby thrilled through
and Utschig ventured peIceptlble
shudder Every one was surprised. Jacoby
was at Babin's side in a moment. In an
other moment he had thrown his new hat
against the whtewashed ceiling aud
started a few score of strong lungs in Wig
orous operation for the honor of the new
champion. Everybody made the most of
his yelling apparatus. and then these per-
sons who so creditaDly acquitted them
selves in the vociferous demonstration
wetted themselves in amber over the I'M
precedented achievement.
The score of l.. G. Babin. while remark
able enough 10 itself, has a stronger inter-
est in tina, Babin is showing himself one OF
the coming cracks. He has for a mum Der
of years been rated fine rifieman, but
perhaps until the present tournament no
one supposed him capable of such high
class proficiency. His former achieve
ments on honorary targets had never
before exceeded the seventy credit limit.
He is one of the old and prominent men,
bers of the California SchuetZen Club, and
his success Yesterday and on the Sunday
preceding has been hailed with general
congratulation. The members feel that
Babin is deserving of his several triumphs,
and hopes are entertained that there may
be more of them.

Strecker won the silver cup. For prize
shooting Strecker has proved himself
marvel. His proficiency with the
rife is of rich interest and possible of
extraordinary results. If he were not a
tonsorial artist he might be gun-fighter
of wide reputation. But Strecker is of
gentler nature and inclines to the even
tenor of civilized ways BE is a marks
man because there is fun in it and in
Strecker's case there is honor, too. At
the range yesterday he did good deal of
shining. Utsehig contributed largely to
the illumination also and the elder Ba bin
distinguished himself These were the
star performers. with the Inevitable Jacoby
personality glittering over everything.
The great fes tival was concluded very
ausplcIously. Brilliant scores were reg
istered and nothing of an unpleasant char
acter marred for a moment the long and
exciting programme. The affair is notable
In more respects than one. Besides having
been an annual event of Importance in
rlte-tiring circles it was also fruitful of
marked enthusiasm In the development of
the center finding science. More than all
it memorable.
The San Francisco Verein's international
tournament early in the year was an affair
OF greater magnitude, but during the
couple of weeks devoted to that pro-
gramme no such number of remarkable
scores were recorded as those shown for
the two days festival of the California
Club. The results throughout were nota-
bic in an eminent degree and it is gen.
orally conceded that The festival was sue
cessful beyond all anticipations.
In the matter OF atmospheric conditions
yesterday was an ideal occasion for fine
rife-6ring. AT the club range. near San
Rafael, there was absolutely no wind,
favorable light on the targets and an at
mosphere about as clear as could have
been desired; but it was hot. Those who
came early said it was hot. The noon-time
trains brought hundreds of marksmen
and plcnickeTs, who were bubbing over
with testimony to the same effect. Early
In the afternoon everybody who had not
previously said so haZarded an opinion
that it was hot. When it got along few
hours more the crowd was sweltering, the
heat of the day had become too self
evident TO require any further expressions
about it. Hot days are nothing to rifle
men, however, and every one of the couple
of hundred at the Schuetzen range plugged
the canvas without much regard for the
sizzling success that Sol was making of
the day.
,Jacoby was at the range early. By 9
O'Clock he had things in readiness for the
long programme. The firing began
promptly, and there was the usual stIug-
gle for the first bulseye bouors. The
rifles cracked numeronsly for some min
ntes without show of red flags. Then
from the stall in which Captain Fred
KuhDle was located the cry came that he
had hit the center. So Xuhnle was the
champion of the early hours. Before the

work began briskly. 1t always does after

marksmea who had it in their hearts to
win something or make desperate trial {
1T. The struggle for the hOnors which go
Tor the first bullSeye recorded was eXeit-
ing. Every man on the range had decided
to score for this prize. The rivalry was
keen from the start and the bang of the
large assortment of gunnery was some
thing which required hearing to secure
proper appreciation. t. j. Carroll, the
shooting-master of the club, found the
James Stanton, the Nestor of the club,
broke the black before any one else on the
man target. In the man target match in
the morning Brunette had scored first.
The enthusiasm which always accom-
Danies this feature of California Club fes-
tivals had hardly subsidized when John
UiSchig registered a claim for a large
honor. Utschig was busy firing at the man
target, when the clubmen were suddenly
appraised of another extraordinary score.
Out of a possible so in four shots Utsehig
had recorded rs. 10 moment the bottom
had been again knocked out of the prevail
ing serenity. There was sufficient reason
Tor it on this occasion, because Utschig's
score is not known to have been equaled
before.
'Say. young man, never before was such
shooting" was the way Jacoby put it.

fore" exclaimed Strecker. enthusiastically.
He turned around to have PhIlo corrobo-
rate this, but the ex-presidept had gone off
TO continue the celebration. Every body
about the range said it was a good score.
Everybody congratulated Utschig and
dampened up on him. Considering every
thing, Utschig was the champion of the
range yesterday. He is at all times an ex-
traordinary marksmaD, but yesterday be
shot more brilliantly than ever.
The ''press shoot" in which the news.
paper representatives were the sole par
Elephants, was a feature OF considerable
interest. Each reporter was allowed to
fire three shots at the point target under
precisely the same conditions that gov
erned all other matches. The best score
among the newspaper men was registered
by THE CALL reporter. A newspaper
artist or TWO did some shooting also.
