Republic Match.

Four clubs were represented at the
Schuetzeu Park ranges yesterday, and
ammunition was consumed until the
fading light rendered further scoring i'm
possible.
The California Schuetzen Club held its
regular monthly medal shoot, which,
however, was of more than ordinary in
terest, seeing that it closed the series for
the year and finally decided the cham
pionshIp in four different classes. Those
who are at all familiar with the personnel
Of the club will not be surprised to hear
that A. Strecker proved the winner of the
much-coveted medal awarded in the high
est class, his total scores for the twelve
months being 3491. His strongest rival
was John Utschig, who, while recognized
as being among the best shots in the club,
. has not the National reputation as fine
.rifie-shooter that Mr.. Strecker has. The
latter has been East on several occasions,
where he acquitted himself with honor
and showed to the world that California
can produce the best riflemen as well as
the best in everything else.
Mr.. Utschig's friends were apparently
keenly disappointed that he could not
take the laurels from Strecker's brow, and
he was not able to close up the gap be-
tween himself and the champion. Mr.
Utschig, however succeeded in securing
fist place in the monthly contest, with a
total of 432 rings.
James Stanton, veteran member of
the club, made his first appearance after
an interval of illness and surprised his
comrades with some excellent pools shoot
ing.
The full scores for the month and the
year are appended, except that made by
Mr.. Utschig, who refused to give his score
