KINDERGARqENO Won The SUPPER.
They Downed the Veterans of the
Pelican Gun Club.
Some Interesting Live-B Bird and Inani-
mate Target Matches That
Were Shot Yesterday.

Hip, hip, spe-e-e! Hip, hip. spe-e-e!
Hip, hip. spe-e-e-ah! The Vets not yet! !!
The Kindergartens do them!'
That was the cry the juvenile, or
younger members of the Pelican Gun
Club, gave when they defeated the vet
erans.at the traps yesterday afternoon.
The Captain grew very red in the face
and suddenly remembered that he was
overdue at the Delmonico. W. +. Ger
ber quietly slid away to the rear of the
shooting stand, and was heard TO make
remark, evidently to his shooting-iron,
aB he carefully swabbed it out: "Well.
well, old gun, 1 never thought it would
come to this. that kids, mere kids,
should do up you and me!'
The kindergarten quartet were right
there, and every person within mile of
the shooting-ground knew they were
victors. Their source of happiness
was two-fold. First-as Upson, Ruhstal-
Ter, Nicolaus and Yoerk all agree-the
~ cts" had the concet taken from them;
and secondly, they are to pay for the best
dinner that can be served In Sacramento.
The dinner, however, is as nothing COM
pared with the satisfaction the kinder
garten squad experience at having won
The shooting took place at 10 o'clock.
q good lot of birds were on hand. and the
weather was cool enough TO keep them in
the best of condition for quick start and
rapid flight. Quite number OF specta-
tors were present. Morrison WAS first to
the score, and grassed his bird before 1t
was ten feet from the trap. Gerber WAS
next, but he missed his bird. He re-
marked that they expected TO let few
over the line so as not to discourage the
youngsters.
Captain Ruhstallsr went to the score
and cried. "Boolp and fine blue
taller" sailed out over the ropes unin-
jured. The Captain viewed this as a
prearranged part OF the programme.
King, the last of the ''Vets," downed his
first bird in fine style.
Then the youngsters went to the traps,
and two of their team, Upson and the
junior Ruhstaller, lost their first birds.
Their opponents led up to the tenth
round. AS leaders they were all smiles,
but alter the tenth round the Kinder
gartens led. and won the match by a
score of 81 to a. for the veterans.
