and the odor OF burnt powder records
we're made and money, medals, poultry
and pigs were won at the shooting range
al Shell Mound yesterday. The principal
features of the day were the prize shoot of
the Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club, the tur-
Key shooting gwen by Captain Siebe and
the breaking of the worlds pistol record
by Charles NJ. Daiss of the Columbia Pts
tol and Rifle Club.
Dai has long been recognized as one of
the oest pistol shots in the West, and he
holds several of the beautiful medals pre-
sented by Gocdon BIanding TO the club.
His performance yesterday places him
in the 'front.' ranks in the world in the use
Of the target pistol. He made score of
% points, Columbia target unit, fired on
the clubs diamond record medal match.
As he fired ten shots, this means that he
punched his bullets in a circle averaging
a two and nineteenth inch circle, fly
yards. l. is safe to say that this is the
best ring-taf get score ever made in the
world, and the young California marks
man feels justly proud of his feat. In this
he beats J. E. Germans score OF 30, which
was regarded as the ''cinch" on the prize.
Although the medal is valuable prize
and there are several excellent shots In
tie club. it is doubtful if % will be beaten
hi year His ;ndiv dual shots were: l
>, 2. 2, :, 6 / 8. 3-29.
The Columb CLUB has adopted sys
tenn Of marking that IS in vogue on the
Walnut Hill (Nfass.) range, that OF plug
ging" ne bullet holes with small colored
wooden plug, to show the shooters where
their shots strike. Each hole is pasted
over as soon as another shot Is fired. An
other innovation in addition 10 this is the
Introduction of powerful spyglasses on the
200-yard range, so as to enable the rifle
men 10 see the plugs. These improve
ments met with the favor OF those
who gave the system a trial yesterday.
The principal advantage of this over the
old way is that every shot speaks Tor itself
and there can be no dispute over the
scores.

the club. He was recently of the Los An
geles Pistol and Rife Club, but as he
expects TO make his home in this city he
intends 10 Join the club of which he was
