Several Good Scores Made on the
Shell Mound Range-At Schuet.
zen Park.

There were several interesting matches
on the Shell Mound rife range yesterday,
and in many instances good scores were
obtained, for all that cold north wind
whipped across the range all day. One
event that attracted considerable attention
was a ffty-shot match between Fl. H.
Burfeind, who belongs to a number of
German clubs, and George Schultz, men,
Der of the Columbia Pistol and Rife Club.
Burfeind allowed Schultz 110 points in the
match. Schultz shot under unprecedented
difficulties. He had been shooting several
practice scores, and when he started on
the score three steel springs broke at the
same instant. The hair trigger spring
and the trigger spring snapped as he was
about to fire the first shot. AS he removed
his rifle from his shoulder Schultz took out
his watch, and the handspring in the time
piece broke before he could return the
watch to his pocket.
Before the match was over the unfortu-
nate marksman had a shell burst in his
rifle and he lost the set-screw off the top
of his rear sight. By using a pair of
pincers, file and a screw-driver Schultz
managed to utilize the larger part of the
broken trigger-spring and shot out the
match and, with his ITO allowance, won
OF ten shots were as follows:
schultz-197, 1877, 17O, 1875, 1s6-954; add
110-1064.
Burfeind-1s5. 224, 199, 1879, 196-1O13.
On Wednesday Burfeind had 50-shot
match with A. III. Pape and made the
same score-1013. Pape's score was 1868.
Fred Schuster was also in the match to
beat Pape's score, but he failed, making
1016.
