THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1896. BULLETS FLEW LIKE HAIL, Many Riflemen Made Excellent Scores at Shell Mound Yesterday. i COLUMBIA'S PISTOL SHOTS. A Large Attendance of German Sharp- | shooters at the Schuetzen Park Targets. It was a great day for the riflemen | yesterday at the Shell Mound shooting ¢ range. From an early hour until late in | the afternoon the roar of the military | musket, the spiteful bark of the sharp- | shooters’ target rifles and the pop of the | 22-caliber firearms formed one continuous melange of sound. Taken on the whole, it was a fine day for good work, neither the light nor the wind being objectionable, and many fine scores | were made. | The Columbia Rifle and Pistol Ctub| ;] drew a large number of its members from | monthly shoot. for club medals brought out nearly the entire strength of tke club. Although in_different classes W. Glinder- mann and H. H. Burfiend came together in a lively competition for the top score, | These rifiemen have been friendly rivals | for high scores for a long time past and they have shot one private handicap match.

The beau- tiful medal recently presented to the clubs by Gordon Blanding excited the admira tion of every pistoi shot on the range, and there was considerablie lively shooting for high scores, which will_count before the next year. Charles M. Daiss went to the head of the list with a score of 8 points, closely followed by J. E. Gorman with 9. Within the past three years Daiss, whose picture appears 1n this issue, showing him in his characteristic shooting position, has won much honor asa pistol shot. Twice he has won medals presented by Mr. Bland- ing, and he has determined to win the third before quitting. His favorite fire- arm is a 10-inch 22-caliber Stevens, using the long ran fire rifle cartridge. The following are the winners of cash prizes on flags for the past month on the 50-yard range.

Twenty-five determined marksmen put in an appearance at the California Bchuetzen Club Park yesterday afternoon to take part in the second monthly shoot for Mr. Schuman’s diamond medal. The weather was perfect for the marksmen, but very few spectators were in attendance. Those who were, however, were enthusiastic backers for the shooters and made the oc- cesion a lively one. The rifle contest was at 200 yards, shoot- ing at rest. Each marksman had ten shots ring target and had a possibility of making a score of 250. The highest score was 232, made by Otto Burmeister. This was not upusually high, but no twelve members made scores of over 200. The day was considered a good one. Following 1s the score for the rifle con- test of members who made over 200: Otto Burmeister 232, L. C. Rabin 228, Miss Liz- zie Utschig 227, James Stanton 224, C. Eging 220, Philo Jacoby 218, Mrs. John Utschig 213, Miss A. 1. Langer 213, Wil- liam Clindeman 209, William Ehrenpfort 208, M. Reubold 207 The pistol contest for Schuman’s gold medal was not very exciting as only a few members took part. The contest was ten off-hand shots ata 2j-ring target. Philo Jacoby made the highest score. He got 206 out of a possible 250, and J. B. Turner came next with only 109. The other scores were unusually low.

FUNERAL OF MAJOR LORD. Regulations Do Not Require Artillery Salutes on Washington’s Birthday. There were no salutes or military exer- | cises at the Presidio Saturday last in | honor of Washington’s birthday. In fact the revised army regulations do not re- | quire a salute to be fired on that day. The Nation's birthday, July 4, is the only day of the year recognized by the regulations as entitled to an artillery salute. It was the custom in the “old army" to fire a sa- lute on February 22, but some time during the war or immediately thereafter the paragraph relating to this ceremony was dreyped out of the regulations. For some time thereafter Generai Graham observed the old form, but at length the powder used in the saluting was charged to his personal account. The anniversary was observed at the Presidio as a holiday in the fullest sense of the term. General Graham excused the soldiers from all duty, except the neces- sary guard and police duty. There was no dress parade, as the band was excused tor the day. The Fifth Ariillery band does in private and as musicians are in great demand on holidays, the General permitted the band to make engagements in the City. The work of thinning out the under- brush and lower growth of the trees on the reservation is progressing under the direc- tion of the post commander. Already |'much of the ground space hitherto ob- scured by foliage from the sunshine has been brought under the influence of the sun’s rays. According to ‘reports received at head- quarters the quail and other birds that live in the groves and thickeis of the res- ervation are constantly increasing. The quail are now pairing. and are not seen in coveys, as they wifi be later on. There is talk of introducing Chinese pheasants, | these birds do remarkably well in Ore- | gon and Northern California. General | Graham is sure that they would grow and | multiply on the reservation, but their ad- | vent, he fears, would tempt amateur | sportsmen and their dogs to invade the | grounds. Constant vigilance is required t now to keep the City hunters away from | the quail. Larger'birds of more beautiful | plumage might present an attraction too | great for the hunters to resist. | | _ The funeral, with military honors, of | . Major Johu Henry Lord, U. S. A. (re- | tired), took place at the Presidio yesterday. | Services were conducted at the Presidio | chapel. ‘The interment took place in the | National Cemetery at the Presidio. Many | officers of the army and companions of | | the Military Order of tbe Loyal Legion at- | tended. : Leave of absence granted to Liettenant | | Wilmot E. Ellis, Fifth Artillery, has been | extended. Captain Marion P. Maus, First Infantry, has been ordered to proceed to Fort | Leavenworth and report for duty as a| member of the board of officers ordered | to convene at that point for the purpose | of preparing rules for the small arms fir- |ing for this season. Captain Maus is | thérefore relieved from duty as 2 member | of the general court martial. Private William V. Kimball, Light Bat- tery F, Fifth Artillery, having Leen tried | by a court-martial and found gnuilty of | selling clothing in viglation of the seven- teenth article of war, was sentenced “'to be | confined at hard labor at the place wiere | 1 | his battery may ke serving for one month.” | Lieutenant-Commander James W. Car- lin, U. 8. N., has_returned- from a visit to | Hifnois and been ordered to duty on the receiving ship Independence at Mare Island, All doubts as to the early completion of the battle-ship Oregon have been dispelled. The last installment of iron_arrived from | the East last Tuesday. The needed to finish the vessel was the armor- plate covering for the after turret, and it came along in fair time. As soon as the turret is completed a sec- tion will be lifted out and the two 13-inch rifled guns put in. The 13-inch turret for- ward is finished and the big gunsare in position The unmounted guns for the turrets aft rest on the vier alongside of the battle-ship, and when tbe time comes to put them aboard they will be picked up by the 80-ton shesrs and swung gracefully into proper place. In case of emergency the Oregon could be put in fighting trim within thirty days, but at the rate the work is now going on it will be about eighty days before the ship 1s brought out for trial trip in the Santa Barbara Channel THE TVOLI'S CONDUCTOR, Carl Martens Leaves the Tav- ary Company for the Local House. - | Was Formerly With Emma Abbott. Morreale Returns to Man- ager Pratt. Carl Martens conducted for the last time on Saturday night with the Tavary Grand Opera Company. This week he goes to the Tivoli, where he has been appointed successor to Adolph Bauer. The Tivoli was without & conductor when Mr. Martens came here three weeks ago with the Tavary Company. The man- agement of the local opera-house decided that the chance of securing so well-known a man was too good a one to let slip, and overtures were at once made to Mr. Mar- tens to remain in San Francisco. The offer made by the ‘Livoli was accepted, and two weeks ago Mr. Martens gave notice to Manager Pratt of his intention to sever his engagement with the Tavary troupe at the end of the Baldwin season. The manager at once telegraphed for Signor * Morreale, who conducted the Tavary troupe last year; he also happened to be able to sever his Eastern engage- ment, and arrived here on Saturday even- ing, To-night, at San Jose, Signor Mor- reale will resume the baton of the Tavary QOpera Company. Carl Martens, who goes to the Tivoli, is thoroughly well known in his profession. He is Emma Abbott’s old director, and her company always met with success under his leadership. 1ln the Tavary troupe he has been very popular with his orchestra. On Saturday a proof was given of the good will which his men bear him by a presentation and_speech. At the end of the first act of *“Carmen,’” at the matinee, | Carl Martens was summoned beneath the stage, where he found all his orchestra as- sembled. Mr. Boga , the drummer, came forward and in a neat speech, made in French: expressed the reeret felt Ly the musicians in parting with their con- ductor, and presented a baton to Mr. Martens as a souvenir of their regard. The baton, which was entirely the gift of the orchestra, is a very handsome one. The stick is composed of ebony and the head is of solid wrought gola. At theend material | | side of the head bears the inscription: “To Carl Martens, director of the Tavary Opera Company.” The reverse side of the baton is ehgraved with the words, “San Fran- cisco, season 1896."” e The Tavary orchestra said its final fare- well to the conductor at a banquet avhich he tendered his men last night, when Carl Martens’ health was drunk with many ex- pressions of regret at his leaving. - There is no doubt about the ability of the Tivoli’s new conductor. He is weil known in his profession and has time and time apain proved his power to direct opera to the entire satisfaction of critical audiences. During the season which has {'ust ended at the Baldwin Mr. Martens has scarcely put forth his best efforts. It is stated that he was discouraged by in- ternal dissensionsin the company. Guille has been featured to an extent which has caused heart-burnings and wranglings among the rest of the troupe. Guilleis said also to have more caprices than all the prima donnas combined. The opera of “Aida’’ isquoted b* Guille’s adversaries as a case in point. The spec- tacular work suits the tenor’s voice and both in the City of Mexico and in San Francisco it was put on as the attraction of the opening night, at Guille’s desire. On both occasions he refused to sing shortly before the performance, and on both occasions a quasi-fiasco ensued. Whether these little difficulties have af- fectea Mr. Martens’ conducting or not, it is a well-established fact that he met with brilhant success as the director of the Emma Abbott company, and that though his handling of th2 Tavary company met | with praise, he is capable of doing better work.

The second day of tlie Lincoln Club’s opening blue-rock tournament at Alameda THE NAVAL RESERVE SHIP How the Old Monitor Comanche Will Be Manned by the Battalion. A NEW ENGINEER'S DIVISION. With a Modern Battery She Would Be an Effective Harbor and Coast Defender. When the Naval Reserve monitor Comanche gets steam in her long-cold boilers, and her propeller, motionless for a decade, gets to moving, the militia sailors of the State of California will be equipped far in advance of the battalions of the East. They will have a steam vessel—a fighter, even if an old type craft—with two 19-ton (15-inch) guns in her single turret. It would hardly be safe to throw her up against the Monterey, for even if her armor belt is 5 inches and her turret is10 inches in thickness (the Monterey’s belt is 13 and ber turrets 14), “‘Biz Betsy” and “Alice’’ (12-inch rifles), throwing each 850 pounds of steel urged forward by 425 pounds of powder, wouldn’t do a thing to the Naval Reserve boat. Even the two 10- inch rifles in the after turret of the new coast defender, pitching a 500-pound pro- jectile each, might make affairs painful for the monitor built just one-third of a cen- tury ago. £ N‘:uher would it be fair for Lieutenant- Commander Turner to rush his flagship against the Monadnock with her 9 inches of armor and 11}4 inches of turret thick- ness, because those four 10-inch rifles, which can heave a ton of metal atone battery discharge, might do some damage and put’ some of the State's naval forces on the pension list.

Bishop William Langlon of Salt Lake City and Bishop Abram Hatch of Heber, Utah, addressed large audiences of Latter- Day Saints at Pythian Castle yesterday. Bishop Langton gave a testimony of his seventeen years’ experience as a Mormon. Bishop Hatch, who was a member of the Utah Legislative Assembly for three terms, and well known as a man of affairs, talked in the evening of ‘“‘Reminiscences of Joseph Smith.” Referring to the Mor- mon prophet, he said: “r finew Joseph Smith by inspiration the first time I saw him. I needed not that any one should tell. me who he was. “T have always been proud of being calleda Mormon and telling the people that I am a follower of Joseph Smith and | Brigham Young.

There must be also three commissioned engineer officers, a chief with the rank of lieutenant and two assistants with prob- ably the rank of ensign. Any master- marine engineer is eligible for these posi- tions. The engineers’ division is drilled with small arms and can take place in the line | with muskets and accoutrements under their division officers when not aboard the ship. They will be enlisted in the naval reserve and subject to the rules and regu- lations the same as the men of the other divisions. At sea,or when under eteam, the engineer officer of the watch is under the command of the officer of the deck, even should the rank of the former be higher than that of the latter. The Comanche has no boats, conse- quently those now in the battalion’s pos- session will be hoisted on the monitor’s davits when she goes to sea. A steam launch will be provided for her at the navy-yard if required. ‘Adjutant-General Barrett, wher inter- viewed regarding these arrangements, stated that in all probability the Navy De- partment would place several enlisted men and petty officers or yard employes aboard to care for the vessel and her en- ines, as she is still the property of the nited States Government and must be looked after by experienced shipkeepers. However, they will be under the orders of the conimander of the battalion, who will be directly responsible for her safety. The Comanche is in excellent conditien throughout, from turret to fireroom, and with a modern battery of rifles and ma- chine guns, manned by the battalion, she would be no mean harbor-defense craft. She is a roomy vessei, 200 feet 2 inches in length, 45 feet 11 inches in beam, and has adraught of 11 feet 6 inches. Her speed is six knots and her coal capacity is 160 tons. The engines are of indicated horsepower. She was built in 1863, at a cost of abont $620,000. A few months ago she was put in the drydock, scraped and her hull given a coat of anti-fouling paint, consequently she only needs her coal- bunkers revlenished to be ready for sea. General Barrett states that she will be turned over to the naval reserve when the Governor calls for her. THE HANDBALL COURTS. Champlon Harlow and J.. Riordan Defeat J. C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet. The handball courts were crowded yes- terday and several games of more than usual interest were played. At the San Francisco' court the spectators were treated to one of the finest exhibitions of handball ever seen in any of the local courts. It was in the match of the day be- tween J. Harlow, the coast champion, and J. Riordan, and James C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet. Riordap is again playing in his old-time form, and in vesterday’s great game never missed a chance. The first game was won by Nealon and Bonnet with comparative ease, but Harlow and Riordan carried off the next three, although by narrow ma- jorities. The ieature of the day was the fine serving of Bonnet. f ‘Another interesting game was played between P. T. Donnelly, the amateur Sousa’s new compositions, never heard in San is engraved Carl Martens’ monogram, one Francisco. champion, and G. Hutchinson, and Al Pennoyer and J. Lawliess. Donnelly and Several ma- | ‘N0 one except a mari of God could have done what Joseph Smith did. He trans- people on this continent. “Joseph’s followers were humble people, but they always railied around him in hours of trouble. “Joseph Smith certified to the world the truthfulness of his conviction and he be- lieved the Mormon records to be true as much as he believed that he lived. “Whiie Brigham Young was once the most unpopular man of the United States, now he is looked upon as a most re- markable man because of the great work he nlivi( establishing the Mormon colony in Utah.” Mr. Hatch closed with a strong plea for temperance, stating that every consistent Latter Day Saintis a total abstainer.

The semi-final was between Fear Not and Lady Fitzgerald; and Dilion’s clever John bitch Leld the Eastern fiyer so close that | only a point divided their scores when B““ was killed.
