SAN FRANCISCO LADIES WHO PRIDE THEMSELVES ON BEING CRACK RIFLE SHOT,

SchuetZen Club, the ladies' club is
formed upon the same general lines
and governed by substantially the
same rules as that oganization. The
officers are: President, vice president,
secretary and treasurer, and two shooting
mistresses, whose business it is 10 over
see the shooting and the scores, and act as
umpires il occasion arises. There are
three classes, champion, first and second,
and each new mem Der is given trial of
three months before being regularly as
signed to either. A score of ITO or over
made three times in succession gives adj
mission to the champion class, three sue
cessive scores OF 100 or over are necessary
to gain a position in the first class and
anything under 100 relega;es the new
aspirant for shooting honors to place IN
the second, or lowest, class, from which
she can work her way upward as her aim
i'm proves.
There are twelve regular shoots held
each year, and at each of these meetings
every member is allowed to make five
| shots, the target being the ordinary ''fins
target" placed at 200 yards distance. The
lady who makes the best score at any
her class medal for the ensuing mon III,
and she who carries this trophy away
from the grounds seven times during the
twelve months is invested with its abso-
lutte ownership at the close Of the year.
Prize shoots are held in April and August
of each year, and rich and elegant prizes
Of s1lyerware, jewelry and household
adornment are eagerly competed for BY
the fair rifiewomen. As general thing
the feminine sharpshooters, because OF
the weight OF the guns used, employ what
is technically termed the double rest"
when shooting, but some of the ladies
have risen superior to this method and
have succeeded In doing very creditab BILE
work more nearly on the plane of their
masculine comrades in arms The LADY
whose record for the past three years
has placed her at the head OF
the clubs champion class is its
youngest mem Der. Miss Lizzie Utschlg.
second daughter OF the noted marksman,
John Utschig of American and European
fame. Miss Utschig is unquestionably the
best feminine rifle shot in the State at the
present time. Her rest-shooting is uni
formly excellent and she has besides spe-
ciaiIy distinguished herself as an off
hand" shooter notably at the Santa Cruz
Turner'S festival, where an exhibition of
her proves in this difficult line, although
given at disadvantage, as she was
obliged TO use her fathers heavy and un-
familiar gun, won her valuable prizes and
the highest praise. The diamond cham
pion medal for 1856 has recently passed
into the possession of this clever little
lady, who although very slight and deli
cate il appearance handles her gun--a -

has borne off in triumph her class medal
for 1896. Among the shooters of the first
class Mrs. II. l.. Wise, Mrs. Thomas Kel-
ley of Mill Valley. Mrs. Fred Schumann
and Mrs. Finking have earned for them
selves special prominence. Mrs. Kelley's
shooting is admirable both with pistol
and rifle, and in "off-hand" rifle shooting
she has achieved more than local repu-
tation.
Mrs. W1se's standard is high one, and
she rarely, if ever. falls below it. At the
recent December shoot a score of ia at
tested her proficiency and made fitting
finale to her years work.
The second class includes among its
members Mrs. AdoIph Strecker, wife of
the coast champion, Mrs. George Helm,
Mrs. c. Sagehorn and Mrs. Keppler. all
OF whom are rapidly working their way
upward. 1t is matter of regret that Miss
Tessie Mclaughlin, who seems to share
her brothers love for and command over
the rifle, is no longer O me mber of the
club, but 1t is hoped by those who have
watched her career with appreciative in
terest that the fascination of the ranges
will draw her back again and that the past
is but hint of what the future holds for
her.
Taken altogether, the Ladies' Schuetzen
Club is an organization in which all Cali
fornians who are interested in rifles shoot
ing, either as science or pastime,
should feel a warm and special pride. In
the sixteenth century shooting deer with
a crossbow was tavorite amusement
with ladies' OF rank, but few ladies of the
present day would care to ina ulge in what
was even then termed "a murderous
sport" Rifie-shooting however, is by
no means an unfeminine accomplishment,
and ii needs only glance at the bright
faces. clear eyes and well. poised hgures Of
our lady "crack shots" to prove to the
most conservative that both nerves and
muscles are strengthened by the disci-
pine necessary to the attainment Of that
proud title, and that it is, indeed, a privi-
lege and benefit to be admitted to men,

command of her rifle, has won many ele-
CANT prizes through her skill.
Mrs. D. W. Mclaughlin, wife of the
widely known and Popular champion
shot, Dennis Mclaughlin. is the present
president of the club. She IS tall and
slender young woman, with darkeyes and
sunny hair, and possesses re-
bly, steady hand, which enables
her to lake high rank among her fellows in
the champion class. Mrs. Mclaughlin
has never yet, during the two years that
she has been member of the organize
ton, made a score Of less than 100. Her
best score is 116 and that this is not an
'accidentsP' shot is proven by the scores
lis, ia, ia and 112 which appear to her
credit in the secretary's book. The even
character of this lady's shooting is spec
tally noticeable. She shoots with her hus-
bands gun, takes deliberate aim and gen.
orally adds TO her reputation as q marks
woman every time that she presses the
trigger.
Mrs. A. M. Turner is another of the
clubs champions and is also one of its
charter members. Mrs. Turner is pupil
of that eminentIy successful ri1eman, DR..
Riehl, and has certainly done her in
structOr credit during her three years at
tendance at the ranges. Entering the club
in the second class Mrs. Turner made
score of Ill while serving her
novitiate ami was speedily promoted to
the first class. During the year QS95)
which she spent in this section Mrs. Tur-
ner won the class medal Cor the seven best
scores her records being: January Ill,
To hruarv 10S March 112 ADril No.,
105, November ia, and Dece m Der 1OS.
This past year she has been one of those
fortunate enough to make 116 which is
the highest score yet attained by any OF
the ladies, but her motto is still excel
sior." Painstaking. deliberate and self
controlled, this enthusiastic lady never
makes really POOR shot, and only on ex-
tremely rare occasions plants bullet OUT
side the black. Mrs. Turner is also an
adept with the pistol and has done some
exceedingly brilliant work with that
weapon IN private matches, although she
prefers to rest her fame entirely upon her
enviable record as rifewoman, and can
never be persuaded to give an exhibition
OF her pistol-shooting at any public range.
Mrs. George B. Davidson, a quite recent
acquisition to the club, has already taken
her place at the head of the shooters in
the second class. Joining the organiza-

The records made by those OF our Cali
fornia riaemen who have taken part IN
Eastern and European shooting tourna-
ments have been such as to make our
State deservedIy proud of her marksmen.
On every occasion when our various shoot
ing clubs have sent representatives TO
compete with members OF organizations
outside our Dor ders our men have met
with almost phenomenal success and have
came back to US laden with honors and
bringing with them prizes and medals al
most innumerable. Many of our staid
elderly citizens still remem Der, with a
gov OF pride and pleasure, the wild en-
thusiasm with which in the younger days
they assisted in welcoming Philo Jacoby
home from his trium pkal trips across the
Atlantic, and later Strecker, Utschig. Nc
Laughlin, Ehrenpfort, Helm and others
have won fame and honors IN friendly
contests with rival champions both at
home and abroad.
There is one California club. however,
which has never sent a champion outside
the State although its mel bers have done
work excellent enough to entitle them to
far more han merely local fame. This
organization, which is composed entirely
of ladies and is generally known as The
Ladies Rifle Club" although its correct
name is the Ladies' California Schuetzen
Club, has been an established fact for
three wears, and has aided much to the
Interest OF the Schuetzer Park meetings
during that time. Tie club owes its ex-
istence mainly to the efforts of the veteran
cham pion. Jacoby, who, although he has
Il now virtually retired from the field quite
content to rest upon the laurels which he
won in the past still feels a vital interest
in ali that pertains to his favorite sport
That practical knowledge OF the art Of
handling, caring Tor and using rifle Is
not only useful to woman in case OF wars
or riots, but Is also of great service TO her
in strengthening and steadylng her nerves.
developing the judgment, educating the
eye and training the muscles to patient
endurance and instant obedience is this
enthusiasts firm belief, and it is a belief
that is shared by many others.

here IS not even a mediocre picture in
the collection, and a number of them can
well be placed under the head Of master
pieces.
For the present the pictures have been
taken from the main gallery of the Hop

crowds of admirers all day long. The
pictures had to be moved temporarily on
account of the winter exhibition, but as
soon as that is over they Will be returned

Miss Spooner's collection comprises the
following pictures and, as will be seen,
are all by famous artists, a few of them
being world-renowned:
