Other Events.

1t was a lively day at the Schuetzer
Park rife range near San Rafael yester
dav. and Captain Schuman had his hands
full providing for his guests. Nearly {
dozen targets were up and the only res
the markers had was during the hal
hours intermission at noon. With two
exceptions, the marksmen were all mem
bers of the German. shooting clubs.
The large attendance of those of the
California Schuetzen Club was ac
counted for by the two attractions, the
monthly medal contest and the team shoot
for a dinner. Adolph Strecker arrived
late, but be held his own and went to the
front again as the first in the cham pior
class.
He carried off this honor in spite of the
fact that he shot irregularly shaped bull
let's. caused by his bullet having
outlived its usefulness, a fact that he did
not discover in time to secure better am
munition. Charles Thierbach made 8
pretty run in his score for second prize In
the second champion class. Louis Ben
del, after a hard struggle, took the hrst
prize honors in the first class, closely tol-
lowed by J. f. Robinson. Otto Bremen
stands a good chance OF finally winning
the first prize in the second class. In fact
it is almost conceded that he will be
adorned with this medal.

The great event of the day, however,
was the team match between two selected
teams of the CALIFORNIA;. In each team
there were eighteen of the best shots in
the club, and on the result depended a
dinner for the three dozen. ]. G. Waller
was the captain of one squad, and T. J.
Carroll the eyerywhere-a --the-same-time c
shooting-master OF the club, was in charge
of the other. The selection of men was
impartial, but Captain Walters men
pulled out 81 points ahead. The condI-
tons were ten shots to each man, the
club to pay for the dinners for the winners
and the losers to pay for themselves.
Captain Schumar provided splendid re-
past for the marksmen, but he declared
that the losing team ate so much that be
lost all of the profits on the dinner. The
