At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Cal., Dec. 9.—William Ehrenpfort, world 
champion rifle shot and member of the famous Cali¬ 
fornia Centennial team that won the world championship 
at Philadelphia in 1870 against the crack shots of all 
nations, was crowned king of the Golden Gate Rifle 
and Pistol Club yesterday. He scored the best center 
in the annual king shoot of that club in competition 
with more than eighty rifle shots, including some of the 
best marksmen of California. Ehrenpfort is eighty-five 
years of age, a retired merchant of San Francisco, a 
member of several shooting societies, owner of consider¬ 
able city property and takes an active interest in target 
shooting. He was crowned king during a banquet given 
last evening in the Shell Mound Park club house by 
K. O. Kindgren, the retiring king, who invested him 
with the insignia of his exalted position amid the cheers 
and plaudits of his constituency and a large number of 
noted marksmen, who were the guests of the club. 
Wm. G. Hoffman won the championship of the club 
with the best rifle score of the year. 
Ben Jonas won the first prize in the bullseye com¬ 
petition with the five best centers of the year, and James 
E. Gorman, world champion pistol shot, won the first 
prize in the yearly pistol competition. 
The prizes won in the various yearly competitions 
were distributed at the banquet given in the evening. 
George A. Pattberg, president of the club, officiated as 
toastmaster, whose ready wit contributed materially 
toward the entertainment of the evening, as he intro¬ 
duced the speakers and referred to peculiarities of noted 
marksmen. Vocal and instrumental selections, recitation 
and character sketches added to the entertainment. 
Among the speakers were the following: D. W. Mc¬ 
Laughlin, Clarence M. Henderson, Herman Huber, A. 
L. Ott, Capt. Ludwig Siebe, James E. Gorman, Ben 
Jonas, William A. Siebe, Herman Enge, E. N. Mohr 
and others. 
Otto Lemcke won first prize in the bullseye com¬ 
petition of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein with a 
score of 113. 
Herman Enge made 240 and Capt. Fritz Attinger made 
333, which are the two best bullseyes of the year in the 
competition of the San Francisco Turner Schuetzen. 
The leading shooting societies of San Francisco held 
target practice on the Shell Mound range yesterday, re¬ 
quiring every target on the range to be kept in motion 
all day. The shooting was incessant and rapid. The 
leading marksmen of the bay district competed for 
prizes and honor, and the scores were most satisfactory.
