1t Is Thought the Germania Award
Will Be Brought Back by
the Team.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July S.-Two first
prizes, one second and one third go to
California, as examples of the proves OF
her delegation to the National Sharp
shooters Union, to say nothing OF various
other prizes, the status Of which will not
be determined until Wednesday; silver
festival cups, gold and silver medals won
by every member OF the team; two records
for the future annals of the National
Schuetzenfest to chronicle-Strecker's 81,
on the man, and George Helms 70, on the
ring-besides A. II, Pape's record of seven
red flags in succession, and the tact which,
though not officially announced, is pretty
well known to be accurate, that George
Helms bullet hit Germania fair in the
center and that the big fellow is likely to
carry the $500 first prize with his other
trophies to the folks at home, are facts
enough to convince the merest novice at
the game that the delegation from San
Francisco fully kept its promise to make
things hum at the first National Schuet-
zenfest, and when the cannon doomed out
the token that all was over, the California
boys had reason for self-congratulation
Z The match between Dorrler and Collins,
of New York, and George Helm and
Strecker is off. Tomorrow the remainder
of the team that did not go to New Haven
before will do so as guests of the Winches-
ter Arms Company as follows: William
Ehrenpfort, F. o. Young.A. H. Pape, Louis
Bendel and A. Jungblut. Mr.. Ehrenpfort
will be accompanied by his daughter and
Mrs. Jungblut goes with her husband.
The best relative scores of the Califor-
mans on different targets are as follows:

Young had hard lines at this target. He
made % on his first shot. but when get
ting ready for the second his gun went off
accidentally while pointed toward the cell
ing, and the shooting committee kept the
fact as to whether he was to be permitted
to fire the shot over again or have it
counted miss, under adyisement for
twelve hours. and when Young went to
shoot to-day he found wind and light all
against his sighting and consequently
made bad ticket.
The marksmen are yet praising THE
CALL for the correct reports of the perform
ance of Californians at the fest.
The last gun of Schuetzenfest was fired
st o'clock this evening, and the cannon
announcing the fact had scarcely done re-
verherating when the Schuetzens shook
hands and pledged each other to their
next meeting in 1896. The shooting to-day
was average and did not disturb the
records of previous days, and as far as
premier honors at the targets are con-
cerned the positions are unchanged from
last night.
Gus Zimmerman made a determined
effort to beat A. Strecker's record on the
man target, but could only reach 96 or
within one point of the Californian's
score, made on the first day of the shoot
ing. and it adds good deal to the merit of
Strecker's score to have held out on a
siege of eight days. Henry Hodges of
Brooklyn also made 80 yesterday, so there
is a tie for second place, but according to
the rule in such cases the best ticket de-
cided the tie, and Zimmerman has a ticket
of 50 to back up his. The Hoboken man,
therefore must put up with third honors.
One first prize that goes to the Golden
Gate city carries with it the distinction of
being the only score at the tournament
which was "moglich" or the highest posi-
BILE. This is on the ring target, won by
George Helm with a full ticket of three
25's. F. G. Ross of Brooklyn and Strecker
fight out the issue for second place on 70
each.
Premier honors on the standard re-
main in New York, Gus Zimmerman, the
famous crack of the Zettler Racing Club,
having reached the best score of 80, which
was only equaled once before, by F. G.
Ross, at Chicago. There are no less than
four ties at 48 for second place, followed
by seven scores of AZ each, so that the
committee will have their work cut out to
decide the places.
Inc 81 contingent includes a. ID. Pape
OF San Francisco. Seven scores of IS fol-
low, credited to Strecker and Blodau of
San Francisco, Pope of Hartford, Conn,
and j. E. Kelley of Springfield, Mass.
The coveted prize on the honor target
Columbia will also remain East, going to
Long Island on the sensational defeat of
Schuster, the California crack, by William
Vorsbach on SATURDAY..
Vorsbaeh made Y as against Schuster's
IL. James Buschfield of Lawrence, Mass,
takes third prize.
The results on the honor target Germania
will not be known until tomorrow or next
day, as the bullseyes have to be measured
by machine specially made for the pur-
pose. None of the results have been made
known officially yet. All the prize-winners
will be officially given on Wednesday and
the prizes distributed
