Range Programme During the

LII was gray, melancholy day at Schuet-
zen Park yesterday. There was a good
light on the targets in the morning, but
the rain in the afternoon put a damper on
the rife-firing when the canvas-ripping
was liveliest.
Several of the German-American shoot
ing clubs were on the range grounds and
1t was pretty interesting day, notwith-
standing the depressing landscape and the
abundant wetness thereof The ladies of
the California SchuetZen Club were there
IN conspicuous numbers. The men of the
Grutli Verein broke the targets with
notable success, and the California Club
and Turner and Eintracht Vereins had
their representatives in the stalls.
The California Schuetzen Club people
were out for bullseyes The members
named here won the prizes in the order of
their mention. Muller, the champion, put
ms bullet one-n1nth of an inch from the
center, and every one OF the crowd landed
the lead within an inch and a quarter from
the needle point. 1t was admirable shoot
ing.
These were the winners: Muller, Fred
erlcks, Strecker, Eging, Hagerup, Thirbach,
Strau6, Burmeister, Schurmann, Hans
