w. Mclaughlin will be crowned king
of the shooting section OF the Calltorn1l
Schuetzen Club next Thursday night He
won the honors yesterday at the final
days shooting of the annual festival OF
the great shooting organization.
The range at Schuetzen Park. near San
Rafael, presented lively scene yesterday.
The rifles of the marksmen beat leaden
hail against the targets from early morn
until near shutdown, and good scores re-
suited. The light was not perfect, yet toz
tine greater part of the day it was strong,
and the targets stood out clear as the
trained eyes CT the sharpshooters ran
along the cleaning barrels of the guns.
As the afternoon grew apace the clouds
that hung over the parE hotted out the
sunlight and made changeable light on
the targets that interiered greatly with
the marksmen in scoring the final bulls
eye.
J.F. Robinson, who took the prize at
Sacramento for the best shot in the COM
petition instituted by the State for the
mem bers OF the National Guard If Cali
fornia, was at the range, and, though he
shot well as usual, his scores were not
such as to win any of the large prizes.
great many of the old marksmen were
at the park and it was noticea bic that the
Younger mem bers of the organization are
rapidly taking their places as the crack
shots.
John Utschig Sr., one OF the leading
mem bers of the California SchuetZen Club,
made score of II out of possible 50 on
the man targets. D. w. Mclaughlin fol-
lowed this closely by making Is shot.
The man target is one of the most difficult
10 score on, and was but, recently intro
duced IN the ranges.
1t has frequently been said that no man
having the suffix NC added to his name
could ever expect to be crowned shooting
king, but to-day the time-honored express
sion must be relegated to the past. D. w.
Mclaughlin captured the honors yester-
day with c score OF %, p. 25, %, %, y, 20,
%. II, 81; total DO.
