[ANKENAU' S AIM
TRUE To MARK
He Scores Seventy Out of a
Possible Seyenty-Fiye on
the Shell Mound Range
BENDEL A GOOD SECOND
Hartter Places the Final
Shot Within the Center
and Wins Special Prize

The forty-seventh annual fall schuetzen
festival of the San Francisco Schuetzen
Verein was held yesterday at Shell
Mound Park. The Light and wind were
just right to delight the heart of a marks
man, and constant stream OF leaden
bullets was poured into the targets from
! early morning until darkness obscureu
| the targets from view.
| John Lankenau, the well-known rifle
man, carried off the honors at the COM
pany target. with the good score OF 20
rings out of possible IS. in a three-shot
I entry. He was CLOSELY followed by Louis
Bendel, with So. and Otto A. Bremen and
Herman Huber, with 81 each. At this tar
get more than ninety members partici-
pated.
Just before the targets went down for
the day the excitement became intense
on account of a special prize that had
been offered for the rifieman who would
be the last to place his shot within a
three-inch center. NJ. F. Hartter was the
lucky marksman to win the prize, and
received the congratulations of all par
ticipants. He made four bullseyes in suo-
|. cession.
The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein is
the oldest organized shooting company
in the State, having organized on the
7th day of September. 1859. The verein
did duty for the State when they were
|
Alta newspaper at the time Of the assas-
sination of President Lincoln. and re-
cieved the thanks of the Governor for
faithful performance of duty.
One Of the pleasant features of the
contest was the presence Of the four sur
viving members of the famous Centennial
team, who carried off the honors for CAL
ifornia against the contestants from all
over the United States and Europe. The
Oldest member, William Ehrenpfort. cell
ebrated his seventy eighth birthday last
week, and his record of yesterday shows
he is still among the sharpshooters. The
other members-Philo Jacoby, A. Rah-
wyler and Adolph Strecker-kept the
marksmen busy to equal their scores.
The committee, which brought the fes-
tival to such a successful close, was
composed of Adam Schaefer, chairman;
Kaufman Wertheimer. secretary; Henry
