NAY ORGANIZE
A STRONG BUND
Marksmen of Various Clubs
Are All in Favor of Form
ing a Big Association
WILL DECIDE AT ONCE
Ranges at Shell Mound Are
Crowded and the Experts
Roll Up Some Good Scores

The attendance of marksmen at Shell
Mound Park yesterday was very large.
The weather conditions were favorable
to good craftsmanship, consequently
fine average scores was the result. A
large number of enthusiasts are at
present in the mountains of Mendocino
and Sonoma counties, pursuing the
elusive buck, therefore the names of
many wen-known marksmen will not
be found among the competitors at
the rife range.
The organizations participating were
Knights of the Red Branch, Company
A Veteran Reserve, Golden Gate Rifle
and Pistol Club, Germania Schuetzen
Club, San Francisco Schuetzen Venein,
Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club, Red
Mems Shooting Company and Shell
Mound Pistol and Rifle Club.
Great interest is being manifested by
the rifiemen of the Pacific Coast in
reference to the formation Of a Pacific
Coast Shooting Bund. Negotiations are
under way and committees are being
appointed by the different rifle clubs
TO perfect arrangements for success
full launching of the bund.
A special meeting was held yesterday
at Shell Mound Park by the Germauia
Schuetzen Club, at which it was unan-
imously decided TO appoint a commit
tee to act in conjunction with other
clubs for the early formation of the.
bund. Herman Huber, Charles f.
Thierbach and Clarence NJ. Henderson
were appointed a committee of three.
At the last meeting of the San Fran
cisco Schuetzen Verein, Captain Henry
Stelling, Kaufman Wertheim and Lieu
tenant Henry Meyer were appointed
and instructed TO do everything in their
power to further the interests Of the
bund. 1t will be seen that the mem
bers of the committees so far appointed
are enthusiastic riflemen and will with
out doubt do their utmost in the mat
ter.
A meeting of the California Schuet
zen Club will be held on Tuesday next
and, as many members have expressed
a desire for the formation of a coast
bund no doubt a strong committee will
be appointed TO represent that organ
ization at the preliminary meetings.
The California Schuetzen Club won the
Centennial cup in Philadelphia in 1875
against competitors from all over the
world, and included in its membership
many of the best rifiemen who appear
on the ranges. When last heard from
the Sacramento-H -Helvetia Rifle Club
was strongly in favor of a Pacific
Coast Schuetzen Bund and will eagerly
take proceedings to have their mem
bers represented on the organizing
committee.
