There was fairly large gathering of
riiemen on the Shell Mound rife range
yesterday. The weather was so fine that
the wonder was that there were not
more. The German sharpshooters were
in the ma jority, for it was an off Sunday
with the military marksmen. However
those who did attend the several events
had thoroughly good time and some
fine shooting was done.
With the Germania Schuetzen Club
there were two events, the regular bulls
eve shoot and the bullseve contest for
cash prizes on the public targets, the
prizes to De distributed at the end of the

The regular blmonthly shoot of the
Columbia Pistol and Rife Club was not
as largely attended as usual, but what was
lacking IN mum bers was more Than made
up in interest and good scores. All of the
events were re-entry matches, and one in
particular, the Glindemann military
match, was the center of much attention.
Many excellent scores were M ade in this
race. Two paratlvely new musket
shooters, +. II. Bushnell and J. Z. Cor

face on the range yesterday. Peter Rob-
inson, one of the first members oil the
club and fine all-round rife shot, re-
turned from Washington with his wife
sons hand has lost much of its skill, as
he has been using the shotgun onsider-
ably on wild game, but he was heartily
welcomed. Yesterdays scores, Columbia
