AT SCHUETZEN
German Organizations Hold
Their Annual Shooting
Festival.
San Francisco Turner's and the
California Club Strive
for Medals.
The Crack of Rifles on the San Rafael
Range Continues Through
out the Day.

An air of Thanksgiving prevailed a the
range at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael,
yesterday, for, besides the regular monthly
medal and bullseye shoots of the Cali
fornia Schuetzen Club and other organiza-
tions the great turkey shoot OF the season
was held and the crack of the rifles was
incessant, while the victorious shouts of
the marksmen were loud and frequent
Despite the stuffy odor of burned
powder, which was at times almost un-
bearable, the enthusiasm ran high and
the number of ladies who were present
watched the contest with interest through
out the day.
There were turkey raffies in every part
of the grounds and the bowling alley
proved bonanza for the experts. To
win turkey it was necessary to make
thirty-two points in four trials. and this
score was toppIed frequently throughout
the dav.
Fred Schuemann's annual turkey shoot
attracted a large crowd and ten, tw i've
and fourteen pound turkeys changed own
ership with a rapidity that was aston
ishing.
But while the turkey festival held sway
great interest was taken in the scores of
the marksmen, and the members OF the
California SchuetZen Club put in a good
days work not only in bullSeye shooting
but in capturing turkeys as well.

for the light on the targets was uncertain
and the sun failed 10 make its presence
known throughout the entire day.
