SCORES OF THE CoLUMBIAs
Prospective Matches Among the
Crack Shots-ProprietorS ohu-
mann Injured.

The Shell Mound marksmen were at the
rife ranges yesterday in greater strength
than for some time past. 1t happened to
be an occasion on which quite number
of the target-hitting clubs held their prac-
tice, and it also happened that the clubs
came early and the members were nu-
merica1ly conspicuous. The day might
have been better, however, for fine range
work. A strong wind held undisputed
sweep across the ranges and the light on
the targets was not just what it might
have been. However, the scores were very
creditable in such circumstances and the
enthusiasm displayed in the sport indi-
Gated that rife-fring will be just as much
the go this year as it ever was before. The
San Francisco Verein men are breaking
the disks rather actively in preparation for
the tournament which takes place next
month, and the young soldiers of Colonel
Macdonald's regiment have trophy COM
petition in near prospect. With these big
affairs and host of lesser matches, among
them contest with the revolver between
Sime's troopers and the signal corps men,
the military craftsmanship outlook is
promising beyond all conjecture.

Pistol and Rife Club had an interesting
