Rodgers Wins the Ger- “" mania Club’s Bullseye Gold Medal. A NOVICE WITH A MUSKET. F. H. Bushnell Astonishes His Friends With the Big Military Firearm. There was target shooting of all kinds at | the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday, fine rifle, musket, pistol and revolver . keeping up & merry din from early in the morning until sundown. A number of very good scores were made by the mem- bers of the several military companies and shooting clubs. The attendance at the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club’s- regular meeting was larger than usual. At the request of the club Captain Siebe, the proprietor of the range, has made many improvements for the accommodation of the marksmen. T'wo new targets on the west end of the range have been set aside for the use of the club, and a high partition now divides the Columbias from the rest of the range. These improvements have been made in anticipation, to some extent, of the ad- ‘vent of the ladies to membership in the organization. A number of excellent scores were made and several were a surprise to the older members. For example F. H. Bushnell, who re- cently joined the club, took up the musket for the first time. His first score, Creed- moor count on the Columbia target, was 42, his second 43, third 44 (recorded) and fourth 46. This performance for a novice - was regarded as phenomenal. In pistol- shooting Mr. Bushnell has gone to the front ranks in a very short space of time. F. 0. Young managed to hold his own with the musket, making 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5—47. Dr. Rodgers, on the record madal, ran up a pretty score, Columbia target, with 7. 6, 5,4 6, 1, 4, 7, 11, 3—54. * There is a lively cowmpetition among the ladies, who shoot the 22-caliber rifles at fifty yards, for the Giindermann trophy. The higbest score of ten shots made be- tween Julv and the end of the year will win the prize. For several weeks past | Mrs. L. J. Crane has been in the lead with | Columbia target, ch shows an average of shots wathin 10 inch circle. Yesterday Mrs. M. J. White lowered the * record by averaging her ten shots within vo and three-fifths inch circle on a score ‘of 4,1, 1,1, 3,2, 3, 6, 2, 3—26. ° F. Ei Mason made a score that he does not like to think about. Aiter making 68 in ten shots on the rifle record medal he ran up a practice score of 34, or a score of twice the value of the first. Now he is " quietly kicking himself because his 34 is not on record. While a large amount of shooting was done with the pistol none of the previons records were broken. On both ranges the following scores were made: . Rifle, 200 yerds, Unired diamond medal, three shots, ‘re-entry—A. Strecker 9, F. O, Young 13, W. Glindermann 14, . H, Busbnell 16, H. H. Burfiend 15.

The Independent Rifles were out for a good time, and tbey hadit. The organi- zation yesterday held its annual picnic and prize shoot. There was bowling in the alley, dapcing in the pavilion and musket-shooting on the range. The cash and merchandise prizes will be “distributed at the next soeial, which will be held on the evening of October 18 at Sara- toga Hail.

The regular medal shoot of the Nord Deutscher Schuetzen Club proved inter- esting, inasmuch as it established the per- manent ownership of two very vretty class medals., The conditions were that the medals had to be held three months | in succession or won tour times. Herman | Huber held the first class trophy for three months and F. Rust held the third class for the same period, and the medals are | now theirs. he scores, twenty shots, | German ring target, were as follows: Chumpion class, F. P.

AL U Harris, 15 Grant avenue. e CHASED A RABBIT STUFFED WITH By New Sport Inaugurated at the Presidio Athletic Grounds. LIVE GAME NOT NEEDED | Fifty Officers of the Prevention of Cruelty Society Were Present. FUN. WITH FOX-TERRIERS. A Great Day’s Sport Enjoyed Without the Slightest Scmblance of Any Law-Breaking. Bixteen weary rabbits, longing to be re- lieved of life, peeked through the bars of their corral yesterday at the Presidio athletic grounds, as though trying to pick out which particular fox - terrier amoug a half hundred present would be his executioner. It was the usual outing of the Ban Fran- cisco Fox-Terrier Coursing Club, and great sport was anticipated. The rabbits had been brought here from Tulare County, and after a couple of days’feeding, it was decided they were in condition to easily evade a pack of fox-terriers. Under ordi- nary circumstances they might have done this quite easily, but after the jolting of a freight-car for a couple of hundred miles, they were still weary and unambitious to dodge away from the festive dogs. But they were not unprotected. Fifty members of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals backed up against the corral and threatened with arrest any person who should attempt to take a rabbit into the field. In the absence of live rabbits the club inaugurated a new sport which is quite likely to supersede the original game. It is the running of a stuffed hare by the dogs. To do t.is anInverted bicycie with the tire off une of the wheeis was located at one end of the field. A string, wound around the tireless wheel, stretched 125 yards off, where it was tied to a stuffed hare. The *‘winder’” or wheelman waited for the signal and began turning the wheel so as to haul in the string and the rabbit which the dogs tried to overtake, In one instance only did the terriers reach the game, and they tore it to pieces, breaking up the day’s sport, there being but one dummy on hand. Following were the dogs that took prizes in the different matches: First race — H. Partington's Punch, Joe Micheel's Daisy, E. Monteverde's Tuck, Tom Murray's Jack. Second race—J. Robinson’s Nio, W. Cheno- weth'’s Fiver, J. Peters’ Alto, J. Michaels' Jip. Third race—M. H. Greenberg’s Sport G, Leo Kaiser's Bad Bo; Fourth race—. Partington's Punch, M. H.

L co——————————ent i i i) il i i i Became Insane After Recovering when the hall could be engaged for that purpose. The pastor’s text for the evening was 8t. Luke xi:2. Some people think of God,” be said, “as of an almigbty ghost, to be bribed as one might brive a Turkish despot. Only to those who know him is he always pleasant. Jesus never spoke of the Almighty as God—it was always My Father, Our Father, Your Father. Every human creature can draw near io the Almighty, because he is father. ‘‘Are we compromising our sense of right? Are we acting rightly on the Lord’s day and wrongly on the morrow ? Having this knowledge that God is our fatber, let us not only act rightly toward our fellow-men, but let us have the feeling of brotherhood. Let us not forget that Jesus Christ entirely abrogated the ten commandments. He gave us a new com- manament that took their place. He did not say ‘Love God.” He knew that when they knew him as Father they would love him. “I am very sorry to learn that there are 80 many men in this City unable to obtain work. Iam sorry that men have to work on Sunday, while 150 men can find no work on week days. Why cannot the work be a little more evenly divided. We have a great deal to remedy before we can live together as brothers. “We need_to teach this doctrine: ‘God is Father. Ye employers, ye workmen, ye are brotbers. Dare to act as brothers in evervthing youdo.” Itis possible, because Our Father will not ask us to do the im- vossible.” —_———— ANNA SHAW ON VISIONS. They Are One’s Ambitions, the Keys to Greatness. Rev. Anna H. Shaw addressed an un- usually large audience yesterday after- noon in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. She took for her text, “I was not dis- obedient to the heavenly vision,” and in developing a line of thougnht from that declared that “there never will be a strong man or a strong woman who does not fol- low a vision; there never has been a great man or a great woman that has not fol- lowed a vision.” The vision is the ambition of the indi- vidual; it is the goal he has set in ad- vance of him and hopes to attain, The difference between Saul of Tarsus, who was religious but not a Christian, and Paul, who had a vision of Christ and modeled his life by it, is the difference between the religious man and the true Christian, ‘“The difference,”” remarked Miss Shaw, ‘‘between the little office-boy entering an A Hot Chase After a Stuffed Rabbit. gell and helping Nip to tear up the stuffed are. The following officers were in charge: Joe Acton, handicapper and starter; Fred Rolling, judge; . H. Ahrens, su- perintendent of the course: Harry Kohler, wheelman. The club has now about 100 members. The initiation fee is but 50 centsand the monthly dues 25 cents, all of which goes to make up purses. BT IRGSY SHOULD BE AS BRTHERS Inaugural Sermon of the Newly Estabiished Church of T e People. Rev. William L. Birch Speake of the Divine Love—God as a Father, The People’s Church, an organization designed to attract those at present with- out the pale of more pretentious bodies of worshipers, held its first service last even- ing at Metropolitan Hall. There was a Iarge attendance. In addition to the ad- dress of Rev. William L. Birch, the foun- der of the church, a pleasing musical pro- gramme was furnished by Hamilton Howe, Miss Ella Ellis and Misses Pearl and Maud Noble. As a prelude to his address Dr. Birch announced that he would oppose no creed or class. He did not, intend to assail darkness, but to bring light. In pur- suance of this plan he announced that classes for instruction would be conducted in Metropolitan Hall Sunday afternoons, office with the ambition of eventually dying a Judge, and thelirtle office-boy en- tering an office_and eventually dying a janitor, is the difference between the boy with a vision and a boy without & vision.” Miss Shaw will speak to-night in Ala- meda before the Brotnerhood of the Con- gregational church. To-morrow she will address a meeting in Calistoga. Wednes- day she will speak in Napa, and Thursday (woman’s night at the fair), she will speak before the thousands in the Mechanic’s Pavilion. Friday she will appear in the Unity Church, Oakland. Next Sundzay afternoon at 3 o’clock Mrs. Ballington Booth will address the meet- ing in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, and that means another great audience. —_——— A Club of the Old-Fashicned Sort. Time was when the death of the proprie- tress of Boodle's Club, in St. James street, would haye awakened no slignt sensation at the West End, especially as Miss Gay- ner. who has just passed away, and her father, who died two or three years since, bel onged to the class of club proprietors which sprang 1nto existence at the begin- ning of last century, and first made the names of Almack and Brook s famous. ‘‘Other .times, other manners,” says the old proverb, and now there is hardly a ciubin London w hich does not belong to its old members. B oodle's, however. stil remained the pr operty of a single individ. ual, and Mr. Gayner and his daughter were noted for the generous treatment which thez’ extended to the members of a titution conducted on the easy-going terms which were universaily in fashion some forty or fifty years ago. A member might dine at Boodle's as often as he liked—and now here were both dinner and wine better—without any reference being made to payment until he asked for his account. Formerly the place was regarded as the headquarters for masters of fox- hounds, and every hunting dispute was settled there by a committee,—London Telegraph. DRIVER INSANE BY A HARD FALL Ah Quee Took a Tumble From a Ladder Twenty Feet High. HE LOST HIS REASON. A Friend Obj cted to His Being Treated by an American Doctor. PLACED IN A STRAITJACKET. A Chinese Servant’s Mishap Causes Him to Run Amuck in a Saloon. Ah Quee, a Chinese servant, in every respect entitled to a letter of recommen- dation as such until yesterday morning at 8 o’clock, is new a raving maniac at his home, 905 Stockton street, where his cousin has him in a straitjacket. The unfortunate heathen was terribly “knocked,” as the saying is, about that bour, and he has not been able as yet to get over it, and 1t is probable he will not live until morning. z This state of affairs is the outcome of the Chinaman’s own carelessness, which resulted in a fall from the top of a twenty- foot ladder to the marble floor of the Bouquet saloon, at 634 Market street. Thomas Shaw, the proprietor of the place, employed Quee yesterday morning for the first time, to do certain weekly cleaning up about the place, and indicated to him just what his work was to be. He started in upon it immediately, using the stepladder from which he fell, He had neglected to spread the ladder to tne fullest extent allowed by the string, and his weight caused 1t to slide on the | marble tiles. Assoon as the slide began the Chinaman began to topple, causing both himself and his support to fall, Ah Quee’s head and left shoulder struck first, considerably dnmnginfi the former and disiocating the latier. e lay there for twnty minutes in an unconscious condition while every effort was being made to restore him to consciousness. Another Chinaman in the house brought out and burned punks and papers conse- crated to some heathen deity, believing his countryman to be far past the safety line on the way to the other world. Finally Quee showed signs of revovery. Shaw, who is a tender-hearted man, shouted to a bystander: *‘Run over and get Dr. Whitney at the Palace Hotel!” Before the physician could be reached, Ah Quee’s countryman declared himself in postive terms to the effect that no American doctor could take cave of his friend. “Me take him China doctor,” he as- serted. He rang up for a carriage and began preparing the wounded man for his journey. About this time Ah Quee was on his feet. He was wild-eyed and vicious look- ing. Suddenly he rushed for the saloon counter, and in a frenzied manner ripped, tore and broke everything on which he could lay his hands. "He was weak from loss of blood and generally broken u from his fall, so it did not require mucg exertion to subdue him. He was driven away to his home at 905 Stockton street, where his countrymen are trying to restore him to health and reason. HANDBALL COURTS.

H. de Young, yesterday; “I have absolutely refused to be inter- viewed on politics. The Examiner faked up an interview with me this morning, but I said only a few words to the re- porter when I arrived from the East last night, and not one word was about poli- tics. 'What do you think about the local situation ? “They tell me this town will go Repub- lican by 5000 majority, and that means a great deal for a Presidential year."” While in London recently Mr. de Young ordered ‘'made for the Park Museum of this City facsimiles of the sealz of the King-«of England and replicas of some rareE zyptian stones and sarcophagi, all of which, as originals, are ia the British Museum. There are sixty royal seals in all, but some of them are very imperfect. About forty, comprising the best and greatest, will be carefully reproduced in whatever substance the originals were impressed in, be it sulphur, wax or some other plastic material. “ft will take time to reproduce them,” said Mr. de Young, “for the English have a way of going about such things very de- liberately. Why, I have heen a year at those fellows on this very matter. In ad- dition to the kings’ seals I have ordered gold-plated replicas of o!d Roman goli coins, some of them worth 1000 guineas apiece. “These are some of the things that have been slightingiy refe:red to asthe ‘gim- cracks’ I was collecting. Well, the great British Museum is filled with' such gim- cracks and it is mighty proud of them. Where it is impossibie to get an original it is sufficient to the connoisseur, to the lover of art, to possess a perfect facsimile; it furnishes the object lesson and may be studied. In the British Museum there are lenty of replicas of fine specimens in the ench Museum, and they are done in plaster, too. Then the Manchester and Liverpool museums and others have replicas from the British Museam. They are labeled replica, and the people know what they stand for. “Now when I was in Europe once before I collected 300 or 400 ancient knives and forks and nearly 1000 keys for the Park Museum. None of them have yet been ar- ranged for exhibition out there, It takes. time to build up a museum and every little counts. If we had had even the nucleus of one fifteen years ago we would have had a fine museum to-day. I had a fine collection of stuffed birds, but several years ago we tired of them. There was no one I could give them to and there was no public museum. As a last resort I turned them over to an auctioneer and after the incidental expenses were paid I g0t $23."° —_———— The tramways of Great Britain and Ire- land receive in fares annually at the pres- ent time about £2,600 000, and the cmni- buses about £2,000,000.
