RUN OF TWO THIRTY FOUR
D. W. MCLAUGHLIN AHEAD IN
AN ALL-COMERS' MATCH.

One Of the principal events Of yester-
DAYS shoot at the Shell Mound rifle range
was a record-breaking string by Fred P.
Schuster of the Germania Schuetzen Club.
In ten shot run in the SO diamond
medal match he made a. 25, %, Is, "a, q.
%, "a, rs, 21-234, German twenty-five ring
target count This Is without doubt the
highest score ever made on this coast on
the target named in regular program
med match. Schuster's new mark
will give the Eastern shots something to
think of for some time.
To the ordinary observer the day for
rifle shooting was perfect, but 1t was not
all satisfactory to the rifiemen. A little
wind to carry off the heated air that
arose from the range would have been
acceptable, and with one or two excep>
lions the marksmen voted to call 1t a
'hoodoo' day Following on the lead Of
Schuster, and in the same match, came
John Utschig, who made creditable score
of 228 In ten shots. o. A Bremen of the
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club carried
off the honors, by making 81, Columbia
target count, on his medal string. In the
same club, d. w. Mclaughlin pulled
ms tch, his total now standing ioo points.
One of the principal events n the park
and range was the twenty,nrsIt annual a
ent Rifiers. All of the members and their
families were in attendance and the ladies
and their escorts enjoyed dancing and the
gatherings, while the marksmen spent
the day on the range shooting for large
number Of cash and merchandise prizes.
