THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1896. M SHOOTING AT THE EAGLE Red Men Marksmen Indulge in an Old-Time Fathsrland Sport. NITRO-POWDER IN THE LEAD. Fine Scores of the Columbias— W. Glindemann Beats J. Utschig in a 100-Shot Match. There was great shooting and lots of it Yesterday at Captain Biebe's Shell Mound rifle range, and more good scores were made by the marksmen than for some time past. On approaching the range a strange looking thing was observed. It appeared like a huge buzzard witn out- stretched wings sitting on the top of a tall pole. About seventy-five yards away stood a company of men in the uniform of the Fatherland soldiery. The latter were blazing away with rifles at the thing on the pole. An explanation of these proceedings was that the Red Men’s Shooting Section was having its annual eagle shoot, a cus- tom brougit from the old country. The eagle was made of wood, painted black, with a diameter of about three feet. It was placed on a forty-foot pole, so placed on the bay shore that all the bullets fired in that direction would fly toward the Golden Gate. Over the body of the bird was a large iron protecting plate. Each part, legs, head, wings, neck, etc., was attached to the body with wooden pegs, painted white, so arranged that a well-aimed bullet would drive them out, letting each separate part fall to the ground. With each part was a prize. The eagle shooting began at 11 o'clock in the morning, and the unfortunate bird was not completely dismembered until 3:30 P All kinds of rifles were used and many hundred bullets were dropped far out n the bay. The happiest shooter of the day was C. Stein, who by smashing the last pin in the eagle’s breast won the enviable title of “‘Schuetzen Koenig,” or shooting king, and the medal that goes with the honor. The other prize-winners and the parts they clipped are the fol- lowing: John Tiedeman, crown on the cond, W. Kreutzkamm, sceptre ; third, H. Bach, reichs-apple in ourth, John Feldermann, ring in E. Gobel, head; sixth, Stein, neck: seventh and eighth, John Oldag, right wingand claw; ninth and tenth, John Tres- ter, left wing and claw; eleventh, P. H. Ruffs, tail The distribution of these prizes and the crowning of the shooting king will take place next Sunday evening at the anni- versary and ball that will be held at 620 Bush street. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club held its regular semi-monthly target-shoot, and several remarkable records were made with nitro-powder. In fact, A. H. Pape broke the ciub record with this powder. He is now acting upon the suggestions of F. O. Young. Thatis a patch bullet of pure lead that starts easily from the breech. He uses Du Pont’s nitro measure for measure with the black powder. In the record the following remarkable scores were made, Dr. Rodgers only using black powder: Dr. L. O. Rodgers...... 25927376757 F. 0. Young........... 67654494055 AL H. Pape 5 734433893860 AL H. Pape 48635947452 Pape’s twenty shots on the Columbia target are equal to 443 points on the Ger- man target and his average was bunched ina five and one-tenth-inch circle. The best rifie scores for the day stood : Unfred diamond medal, three shots—Dr. Rodgers 10, H. H. Burfeind 11, F. 0. Young 16. T shot rifie record—A. H. Pape 50 and 52, F.O. Young 5, Dr. Rodgers 5 Most flags for in-centers—Dr. Rodgers 2, F. 0. Young 1, H. Hellberg2, H. H. Burfeind 1, G. Barley 1! On the 50-yard pistol-range some fine work wasdone. Charles Daiss, who so far has been in the lead on the Blanding record for the best ten scores, rested on his laurels and went off on a bicycle jaunt. While he wasaway Pape got in and ran up enough high scores to beat Daiss by three points. Gorman, in half a dozen strings, made several excellent scores. The best scores stood : Open to all comers, pistol, Blanding medal— J.E.Gorman 7,9, 11; A. H. Pape 7, 8, 8; F. O. Young 8, Dr. L. O. Rogers 9, E. Jacobson 17. Revolver, Carr medal—M. J. White 39.

GEORGE GIBSON ON PAIN- The Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church Addresses a Meeting of Young Men. The Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, made notori- ous by the murders in its belfry, sang a solo and delivered an address yesterday afternoon before a large audience in the Young Men’s Christian Association. The theme of his song—"Come Home My Child”—was in a sense introductory to the discourse that followed. His text was from Ephesians, fourth chapter, nine- teenth verse—‘“Who Be in Past Feeling.” » He said that a man must not necessarily live long to live much, for a young man may often have deeper experience than older men bave had. To-day life is much more intense than it was long ago; childhood has almost van- ished and youths come to maturity almost before they know what to do with their hurried!y = acquired development. The young, as opposed to the old, have the | hardest struggle against the evil tenden- cies in their nature. If a person in beginning worldly life would carefully consider just what the | possibilities were in him he might often | be deterred from evil by a realization of how bad he might really become and might also be encouragea in good deeds by | knowing his latent aptitude for them. | The astrich has not used its wings to fly | and the male has had little use for eyes, 80 nature has gradually made these re- spective organs proportionately unimpor- tant; soit is with unused human faculties. Man either grows better or he becomes worse. Long exposure to torture, to dis- | appointments and to annoyances may, and often does, cause a condition where the person becomes inured to the experience and is past feeling. Father Yorke To-Night. The third lecture of the course, *“Man's Inhu- manity to Man,”under auspices of theAmerican Women’s Liberal League, by Rev. Father Yorke, will pbe given this evening at Metropolitan Temple, at 8 o’clock. Admission will be 2o | cents, reserved seats 50 cents. Tiekets will be sold all day at the headquarters of the league, room 6, Donohoe building, corner of Market and Taylor streets, and at Metropolitan Tem- ple, also at the box-office in the evening.

THE GASOLINE BOAT ARCTURUS A Sailor Lost From the British Ship Ditton—Repairing of the Point Arena. After a week or more of cold, cloud, mist and rain the bay yesterday was as calm, warm and bright as a yachtsman could wish, and certainly the Corinthian Club people could not have asked more, It was their first cruising day and the forecaster was evidently with them. There was a good wind from the southwest that took-the winter’s twist out of the sheets and the wrinkles from the canvas that had been furled tor months. There was a new- | mess along the sides of the white hulls and a brightness over the freshly scraped spars which made one think the entire fleet had just slipped from the ways. The squadron got under way about noon, led by the flagyacht Truant, bearing the | pennant of Commodore Pew. The vessels passed up close in along the water front, affording the spectators on the dock a pretty, living marine picture. The Rover literally hugged the ends of the wharves, with the little spoon-bow of the Eolus almost overlappiag her. The latter tried seyeral times to pass in between her rival and the pier heads, but the Rover’s helmsman would throw his vessel against the piles and cut the other craft out. There was no attempt to pass the Com- modore, and the boats generally kept their allotted places in the cruising line. Opuosite the ferry slips the signal was given to'bout ship, and the fleet swept around on their return. With the fair wind and strong ebb-tide they soon passed from view around Angel Island to their moorings off Tiburon. The new gasoline auxiliary yacht Arc- turus had her initial cruise. She isa pretty 50-foot boat, 36 feet 7 inches water-line, 14 feet beam, 3 feet draught and 7 tons bur- den. Yesterday the British ship Ditton, Cap- tain Stak, arrived safely, 125 days from Swansea. On the second night after leav- seaman, fell from the foretopsail yard into the sea. He was aloft furling the canvas | when a quick lurch of the ship flung him | overboard. The weather was rough and | the sea running high, and a boat could not be launched. Soon after another or- | dinary seaman named J. Campbell fell | from “the mizzen-topsail yard on deck. Though dropping from a great height he suffered no serious injury except the loss of tue sight of one eye.

GOOD SPORT AT OCEAN VIEW. Three Coursing Stakes Run to a Finish Yesterday—Winners of the Events. Coursing men are looking forward with considerable interest to the opening of the new covrsing ground at Ingleside, which is expected to throw open its gates on Sun- day next if the elements and Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals do not inter- fere. The new grounds were mainly chosen | for the lay of the ground, which is partic- ularly calculated to give good results and for their accessibility to the electric-cars that run to the Ingleside track. Several thousand dollars have been spent in improving the grounds, a fine grand stand for those who do not desire to take part in the betting being one of the prin- cipal features. A number of people visited the new course yesterday to look over the grounds and witness the preparations that are be- ing made for the Opening. Several hundred people went to Casserly & Kerrigan’s Ocean View park yesterday to witness the running, and a fine day’s sport was enjoved by all. The recent rains had made the hares less inclined to run than usual, but some of the courses were long and interesting. The dogs on the average were a fast lot and evenly matched, and the spectators had a good day of it. The first event was a sixteen-dog stake, which was run through as follows: Twilight beat Kilmore, Pop Larkin beat London, Diamond beat Galloping, California Violet beat True Blue, Cottage Boy beat Star- light, Jenny Lind beat Barney, Butcher Boy beat Unknown, publm Stout beat Black Tom. First ties—Twilight beat Pop Larkin, Dia- mond beat Cottage Boy, California Violet beat Jenny Lind, Dublin Stout beat Butcher Boy. Second ties—Diamond beat Twilight, Dublin Stout beat California Violet, Final—Diamond beat Dublin Stout. Four dogs at $2 50 each were then drawn, the winner to take all. as follows: St. Lawrence beat Black Tom, Cottage Boy beat Bobolink. Final—St. Lawrence beat Cottage Boy. The last ever.t was an eight-dog consola- tion, which resulted as follows: Fleetfoot beat Marguerite, Unknown beat Pop Larkin, Bobolink beat Californis Violet, Whip beat Handspring, Lucky Dog beat Quick- step. First ties—Fleetfoot beat Unknown, Bobolink beat me, Lucky Dog a bye. Final—Fleetfoot beat Bobolink. COMING CYCLING EVENTS Rosa and Oakland Floral Fetes. Quarters—Golden Gate’s Election. The park roads were in very fair condi- tion for cycling yesterday, despite the re- cent heavy rains, and many took ad- vantage of the sunny afternoon for a spin to the beach. Few ventured into the coun- try, however, and those who did found tittle enjoyment for their trouble. Asone club man expressed it, swimming was very good on the Haywards road, riding being impossible and walking bad. Most of the riders took a rest yesterday, and the men gathered at their ciubhouses the relay race again and discuss the track events io be held at the various floral fetes the next two weeks. There will be races at Santa Rosa Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday of this week, and the last day will probably attracta great many from this City. Friday is May day, and at the Fabiola floral fete at Oak- land the National circuit will be opened. The best riders will contest at this meet and go to Santa Rosa the next day. They will then have a week’s rest and ride again at San Jose on Saturday, May 9, the last day of the rose carnival there. A grand bicycle lantern parade will be held in Oakland under the suspices of the Fabiola floral fete, 1896, race meet com- mittee on the evening of Wednesday, April 29, in which all clubs and unat- tached wheelmen are coraially invited to take part. Trophies will be awarded as follows: (1) To the club making the best appearance. (2) To the visiting club hav- ing the largest number in line. (3) To the home club having the largest number in line. Visiting clubs are defined to be all clubs outside of Alameda County, and home clubs those in Alameda County. Mounted police protection is assured and riders need have no fear as there will be ample room 1n the streets for all to ride their clubs are fully represented, and that all members turn out to help make this the grandest lantern-parade ever seen on the coast. Clubs will take their positions in line at the junction of New Broadway and Telegraph™ avenue at .7:45 Wednes- day evening. n the %ay of the fete, Friday, a special decorated bicycle parade will be held in conjunction with and to follow the decorated carriage varade, at the Oakland Trotting Park at 1 P. M. Special prizes have been secured to make the bicycling part of the floral parade a grand success. They are as follows: To the best decorated single wheel a high- grade bicycle. For the best decorated groups, incluaing tandems, etc., $20 cash. For the club making the best appearance in the floral parade an elegant piano-lamp and bronze stand. To the visiting club having the largest num- ber »f members in the floral parade a nand- some onyx clock. : To the home ciub having the largest number of members in the floral parade & silver water pitcher and cup. Entry blanks are necessary only for the decorated single wheels and groups. These can be had from the secretary, J. A. Colquhoun, room 202, Central Bank build- ing, Oakland. The Olympic Club Wheelmen 4vill hold a2 meeting to-morrow evening at the Olympic Club. Besides the business to be transacted the amusement committee will furnish something good in its line. The imperial Cycling Club is looking for larger quarters on account of its largely increased membership and is_thinking of moving into the Bay City Wheelmen’s former clubhouse at 519 Van Ness avenue. The Golden Gate Cycling Club recently elected tne following new road officers: Joseph Quadt, captain; William Madden, first lieutenant; T. Roderick, second lieu- tenant. The new captain will lead the members on a century run next Sunday. The entries for the Oakland and Santa Rosa race meets have closed and R. A. Smyth, the official handicapper, will prob- ably announce the bandicaps to-day. ————— A house divided against itself makes lots of fun for the neighbors.

[Sketched by a “Call” artist.] ARMY CAMPS AGITATED, Officers Unable to Render Active Service in the Field. LISTED FOR RETIREMENT. The New Post Surgeon at the Presidio. Fifth Artillery Batteries Exchange Stations. Dr. R. H. White, major and surgeon, U. 8. A., willdwell at the Presidio as post surgeon. This place of abode may not exactly conform to the doctor’s individual desires, but it seems to accord to General Graham’s notions as to the proper place for a post surgeon to dwell, and as General Graham commands the post what he says goes. A reporter of THE CALL was not present during a recent interview between the doctor and the post commander, but it is known that the major, who was recently ordered to this department from Jefferson Barracks, Mo., did have a courteous and most likely a friendly chat with General Graham. No doubt the latter cordially welcomed the doctor in a hearty army fashion to the Presidio, and possibly the doctor, not to be outdone in civility, praised the beauty of the Presidio and spoke of the bang-up military aspect of every- thing about the post, from the enchant- ing Alameda to the desolate marsh. Thisy is mere conjecture, however, but in truth the doctor did play for an opening, and when his inning came he gently intimated that during & previous tour of duty in this department he was stationed at Angel Island but was permitted to live in San Francisco. General Grabam was equal to the occa- sion. He knew that proper quarters for a surgeon were not provided at Angel Isl- and, but at the Presidio it was different. The general spoke of the excellent accom- modations available atthe post on tke mainland, and would not for a minute permit the thought to enter his mind that the doctor should be forced to livein the City for lack of suitable quarters at the Presidio. According to all accounts, post. Orders for some of the changes of sta- tion have come. General Forsyth, com- manding the Department of California, has ordered Batteries B and M, now sta- tioned at Fort Canby, to San Francisco. Battery M goes to the Presidio and B to Alcatraz. Battery H, Captain Elbridge R. Hills, goes to Canby, relieving B and M. Battery £, Captain A. W. Vogdes, will go from Alcatraz to Fort Mason and Battery C, Captain Wood, will go from Alcatraz to the Presidio. Battery I, Cap- | tain George W. Crabb, will go trom Fort Masor to the Presidio. The' independent command at Fort Mason is assigned to Captain Vogdes. In the general change Fort Canby loses one battery and San Francisco gains one. At Fort Mason this evening a dancing function will take place, to which many officers of the army have been invited. The function is under the dicection of Mrs. Gillette and Mrs. Blunt. The spacious house, known as the Black Point residence, will accommodate the guests. At Angel Isiand last Friday eveniug | Captain O'Connell, First Infantry, de- livered an interesting and instructive lecture on the *‘Great Strike of 1894.” The | lecture was given in the post chapel and was largely attended. ; Should the 12-inch rifle at Fort Point ! kick over the bluff and roll into the sea | the excitement in army circles would be | tame compared with the sensation that has | been produced by a report that paragraph | 72 of the revised regulations has been in- voked to retire several army officers before they have reached the age of retirement. As explained in yesterday’s CAry this paragraph provides for retirement for physical disability—that is to say, the in- ability of an officer to undergo the ordi- nary hardships of field service. General Graham of the Fifth Artillery and Colonel Shafter of the First Infantry are author- ized to recommend for retirement such officers in_their respective regiments as are deemed unable to physically sustain the fatigue of an active campaign. Major Darling, Major McCrea and Cap- tain McClellan of the Fifth Artillery and Captain Pierce, Captain Parker and Lieu- tenant Connolly of the First Infantry are said to be on the list. Officers listed for compulsory retirement and brother officers in syl'nglthy with them are not supposed to kick on parade or in the press, but at the hotels, clubsand in private quarters they assert the right of expressing an opinion, and one opinion is that Colonel Shafter i1s not as well fitted physically to perform service in the field as the officers whose retirement he has recommended. General Grabam of the Fifth Artillery has two years more to serve before attain- ing the ‘age of retirement. His capacity for active service in te field or in zarrison is not questioned. Most of his officers would prefer a commander of less vitality. Colonel A. 8. Kimball, chief quarter- master of the department, will receive bids until 12 o’clock Monday, May 11, for the construction of a stable at the Presidio. The work must be done within 120 days after the contract is signed. It is dis- tinctly provided that the service of labor- ers and mechanics who are employed in the work of construction shall be limited and restricted to eight hours on each cal- endar day. The specifications define ex- actly what kind of maternal shall be used and how the work mnst be done. Until Tuesday, May 12, bids will be re- ceived by the chief quartermaster for fill- ing in a portion of tue marsh lands on the Presidio reservation. Bidders will state the price per cudic yard for which they will do the entire work as shown on plan No. 1 or as shown on plan No. 2, on either of the following propositions: 1. By leveling the adjacent sand dunes along the shore of the bay to the grades established on the plans and filling the adjoining marsh with the materlal so obtained as far as it will g0, and by pumping with suction dredgers or other means from the bay to make the remain- der of the fill to the established grades. 2. By leveling the adjacent sand dunes along | the shore of the bay to the grades established on the plans and filling the adjoining marsh with the material so obtained as far as it will g0, the remainder of the fill to be made with material obtained by grading the bluff imme- diately south of and adjoining the marsh to be filled. Separate bid will be made for the con- struction of the drain. The work will be required to be com- menced within fourteen days after the contract is approved ana must be prose- cuted at the rate of not less than 25,000 cubic yards of filling per month. On one plan the amount of filling is estimated at 185,000 cubic yards and on the other at 280,000. The eight-hour limitation also applies to this work. THE HANDBALL COURTS. A Number of Exciting and Closely Contested Games Played Yester- day. The handball courts were crowded vesterday and several interesting and closely contested games were witnessed. At the San Francisco court & match in which six well-known players participated was the principal attraction. P. T. Don- nelly, the amateur champion, R. Linehan and'J. Nelson played against T. K. Bonnet, D. Connelly andJ. Feeney, the three first named winning after some excellent play on both sides. Bonnet and Feeney had in a measure their revenge, as they defeated Donnelly and Linehan in a match the best two out of three by winning in two straight games. The attraction at the Union court was a matchbetween Charles Curtis, the South End champion, and William Young, the champion of Hayes Valley. Friends of the champions filled the gallery and cheered their favorite on to victorv.” They were well matched and the final game was won by Young by only one ace. An- other exciting game was played between R. Leniban and Al Pennoyer and Terry McManus and J. J. Feeney, the two former winning. Following were the games played in the courts San Francisco court—J.
