The members of the California Schuetzen Club held the first bullseye shoot of the year yesterday at Schuet- zen Park, near San Rafael, and the en- thusiasm which marked the occasion was more pronounced than has been exhibited for many months. The rifle range was crowded throughout the day, and at the California Clubs tar gets the liveliest interest was shown.
 Besides the California Schuetzen Clubs bullseye shoot the following German organizations held their regu- lar monthly contests: San Francisco Grutli and San Francisco Turner's, and the Verein Eintracht held a practice shoot, the scores of which were hardly up to the average.
 The light on the targets was not such as to insure good scores, for the fog hung over the park during the af- ternoon, when the shooting was most spirited, and. added to this, 1t was cold and correspondingly damp. The air was still, and the smoke from the rifles of the marksmen hung over the butts. Despite the unfavorable con- ditions there was plenty of shooting.
 The newly elected officers of the Cali fornia Schuetzen Club for the year 1898 are as follows: President, Albert Ehrenpfort; vice-president. H. Rahwy- Ter; treasurer, Otto Bremen; first sec retary. William Holding; second secre- tary, Charles Sagehorn; first shooting master, c. Waller; second shooting master, T. J. Carroll; third shooting master, Robert Langer; finance com mittee.

 The drum corps of the San Francisco Turner SchuetZen held their medal con test on the target, and the two success full rifiemen and their scores were: E. Jonas 295 rings, first medal; and Will liam Straub 25S rings, second medal
 C. Meyer, one of the oldest and best marksmen on the military targets and with the fine-trigger guns, and an old member of the California Schuetzen Club, was among the visitors at the park yesterday. He brought a gun made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, modelled after plans and ideas of the California Schuetzen Club members. and the firearm at tracted considerable attention.
