RANGE AND GALLERY. 
A GERMAN SHOOTING FESTIVAL. 
CORRESPONDENT of the San Francisco Chronicle writing from 
Leipsic, gives a very interesting story or the eighth quadrennia) 
German shooting festival which was held there durmg the final week 
of July. The town was in a Ferment of preparation for a long time 
receding the actual shooting time, It was the first time that Leipsic 
ad been honored with the festival and there were thousand of 
Strangers ta be honored and Féted. - y 
Tour weeks heforehand the newspapers and illustrated weeklies 
were full of the festival, giving its history with great minuteness, re- 
lating anecdotes about the preceding celebrations and picturing in 
aay cuts of poor quality the various attractions to be presented at 
§ one 
Of course, there were for weeks previous to the actual opening of 
the festival ail sorts of “rememberances of the shooting festival”? on 
sale everywhere. For the Germaus are great people for remembering 
everything which takes place. Sothere were medals of all shapes and 
sizes. of all sorts of metals, and all degrees of price, each one bearing 
an appropriate inscription and afigure of some sort reminding the 
possessor of the fact that it was in remembrance of a shooting festi- 
val; there were pictures of all kinds illustrating the coming festival 
in advance; there were shooting festival hats, shooting festival boots 
and shooting festival almost everything exposed far sale and war- 
ranted lo keep the memory of this particular shooting festival fresh 
in the memory of their buyers as long as thesaid buyers had any 
memories and then transferred to their heirs, to preserve the memory 
of the festival for untold generations. 
Thus cheered on and roused up to the importance of the coming 
event, the Leipsicers, patriotic people, resolved to do themselves the 
honor of welcoming the coming guestsin grand style. This means, 
of course, herein Germany, that the houses shall be decorated with 
banners and eyergreens and that there shall be a procession. A pro- 
cession is absolutely necessary for al] German festivals, while the 
decorations are reserved for yery important and extraordinary occa- 
sions, like the present one. So srery ned ys especially those living 
along the proposed line of the march of the procession. decorated 
their houses and places of business in anticipation of the coming cel- 
ebration. ‘There isn’t anything very artistic about these decorations, 
cousisting, as they do, of evergreen ropes bung along the house 
fronts in rather ungracetui loops and set off now and again with 
stands of flags and banners. But they serve to hide the natural dirti- 
ness of the houses in this dirtiest of German towns, and they show 
that the people are patriotic, so one can endure them. 
The banners were hubg ina curiously awkward fashion from the 
poles projecting at angles of 45 degrees from the house fronts, and 
flopped about, twisting and turning and dashing the heavy tassels 
here and there in an erratic way. 
Of course the hotel keepers, restaurant proprietors and all those 
people who expect to reap a golden harvest from the influx of 
wealthy strangers, have decoraled more than anybody else. The 
fronts of their buildings ave fairly smothered in evergreens and ban- 
ers; stands of lags and ali manner of uther decorations are placed 
wherever there is room forthem. Jiough, colored pictures of bibu- 
Joug marksmen in kuee-breeches and feathered hats, cocked jauntily 
om the backs of their heads; representations of buxom waiter-girls 
in short dresses and hands fuil of foaming beer glasses; doggerel 
verses, which laud the virtues of beer and advise ev srybody to drink 
Jots of it, and aggressive signs bearing the rather imterested legend, 
“Welcome.” sirround the doors of all the restaurants and beer 
saloons, so that the thirsty strangers need not exhaust themselves in 
‘ooking around for a place to qgyeoch theiv thirst, 
c on Saturday afternoon the visiung, ksmen began to arrive 
les by every incoming tram, and, of course, each delegation 
n bo 
had to be met at the depot by a reception committee and a band of 
music. The reception committee, in claw-hammer coats, white kid 
gloyes and crush hats, read each delegation a stereotyped address of 
welcome to Leipsic, the band played, the crowd cheered and then 
everybody fell into line, the band in front. the ecrush-hatted commit- 
tee of reception next and the visiting marksmen last, and marched 
through the streets, greeted with the cheers and encouraging shonts 
of the populace and followed, preceded and surrounded by an eager, 
hurrying crowd of small boys. Along toward evening the deputa- 
tions began to come in thick and fast, and the committees of recep- 
tion and the bands of music had all they could do in receiving and 
escorting one lot of yisitors and then hurrying off to repeat the per- 
formance for 2 new infiux of strangers. I guess the members of the 
various committees learned their addresses of weleome by heart be- 
fore the last lot of visitors were safely received, escorted and disposed 
of, From 6 o'clock in the evening until long after midnight the 
strains of martial music. the tramp of marching feet and the hoarse 
eheers of patriotic Leipsic were almost continuous through the 
streets, and told that the tired committees were still receiving, read- 
ing and escorting, 
The procession, of course, was the piece de resistance ef the whole 
celebration. Its projectors made a great ado about it and promised 
faithfully that it would far surpass in gorgeousness and pageantry 
any similar exhibition ever attempted before in Leipsic. As the Ger- 
mans are great people for processions, and as this procession was to 
be held on Sunday, when eyerybody is free to do as he pleases, all 
Leipsic resolved weeks in adyaneé to turn out to an individual, in- 
eluding the babies in arms, and lend the procession its moral sup- 
port. 
The day of the procession came, and with it the great pageant. The 
procession was divided into sixteen divisions and consisted principally 
of the ditferent bodies of shooters, each company bearingia banner 
ou which was inscribed the name of the place whence they came, and 
bands of music. This part, of course, does not need to be spoken of, 
éxcept to say that nearly every town in Germany was more or less 
represented and that each delegation was greeted with cheers and 
shouts of approval. But there were a few oe of the procession 
which were truly interesting to one born and bred in the wilds of the 
New World and not used to the old manners and customs of Europe. 
For there were reproductions of many Middle Age German institu- 
Ste i the procession, reminding one of those ‘‘good old times” yery 
orcibly. 
Virst were the mounted police looking very uncomfortable. Then 
came a number of trumpeters, clad in the brighteolored garments of 
centuries ago and blowing on their brightly polished brazen trumpets 
the ancient fanfares which heralded important events in the bygone 
centuries, After these stalked a squire, bearing the heavy, two- 
handed sword and the massive shield of his knight. And after him 
came a number of pages with those yellow-leather, long-toed shoes, 
which our modern Beau Brummels imi‘ated as far as they dare. The 
third division was headed by a couple of fantastically dressed men, 
who swung brilliantly colored flags about their heads and made quite 
a display by damg it. Then came a company of halberdiers and 
Spearsmen clad as menat-arms and shambling along with their 
heavy and cumbersome weapons over their shoulders. Next came 
William Tell, the renowned sharpshooter, with his trusty crossbow on 
his shoulder. The celebrated Wilham looked as proud and haughty 
as héis said to haye looked in his interview with Gessler, and at his 
side walled the son from whose head he shot the apple, and, at the 
same time, established his reputation as the champion shot. 
The fifth division was composed of a shooting procéssion from the 
sixteenth century—for the old Germans used to have shooting festi- 
yals long before guns and gunpowder were ever dreamt of. At its 
head marched another platoon of richly dressed trumpeters, with 
their trunk hose and flowing cloaks, After them stalked the black-; 
bearded, seyere-countenanced city bailiff, clad in his robe and bearing 
his massive staff of office. At his heels followed his myrmidons, the 
city beadles, each with bis staff, Then came the city fifer, an im- 
portant. official in those aneient festivals, to whose shrill-sounding 
music the shooting king, with his silver crown, kept step. After the 
shooting king came another fifer, supported by a drummer, Then 
came the scorekeeper and the marker and after them the principal 
prizes to be contested for this week, borne on the shoulders of 
sixteenth century servants, following whom came the town clerk, 
the ancient town council and the various city officials ef 800 years 
ago, When itis remembered that all these were clad in the quaint 
costumes of ancient Germany, and pictured in the flesh those old 
manners and customs one reads of in history and sees painted in old 
Pictures, it will be seen that this part of the procession was very 
interesting. 
CLUB SCORES.—Correspondents who favor us with scores are 
requested to send them in as soon as possible ujfter the matches 
described, We go to press Wednesdays; and it is necessary that 
matter for publication should be in hand by Monday, or Tuesday 
at the latest. 
WHEELINGS VS. PITTSBURGH.—Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 5.—The 
shooting was at 200yds., off-hand, Massachusetts target, bullseye Sin. 
in diameter, counting 11,and a 4in. center, counting 12. A hard 
breeze was blowing across the range from the 8 o'clock quarter, and 
that made the holding of the rifle very difficult, and had a tendeney 
to drift the bullet from its direct course, The Pittsburgh team made 
two misses in their score, while the home team made none, Mr. 
Stolte outshot himself and finished with seven straight bullseyes. He 
used, however, a heayy Schutzen rifle with hair trigger, which is not 
allowed by the rules of the National Association; but the home club 
allowed the visitors to shoot two such rifles in their team out of 
courtesy. The home club also gave them choice of targets and ac- 
commodatec them by shooting 30 shots per man in place of 20 as 
before, The footing of each round of both teams shows that on the 
first they were eyen, but on the second the home team gained 10 
points, and on the third 10 rounds were 13 points ahead. On the 20th 
round they were 47 points in the lead, and at the end of the match it 
stood the same. The Pittsburgh club did not show front at any time, 
but they cut down the lead of the Wheeling team to1 pou bin the fifth 
and sixth rounds, The.Wheeling team will go to Pittsburgh next 
month to shoot another match with their contestants of yesterday.

The attendance at to-day’s regular praetice was very small, and if 
something is not done to promote the interest in rifle shooting it will 
soon be dropped altogether. There is only one team in the city that 
is taking any interest in the shooting at all, and it seems as though 
that team will soon be out of existence, unless a revival of interest 
takes place, The State has done a great deal to encourage shooting, 
The range has been fitted up and steel targets placed there, but the 
boys do not feel like wading the river every Sunday, and cannot go 
to the expense of building a bridge.

Laufenburg coached the California team and Captain Parker the

Forman, who gaye the best satisfaction. The day was cloudy, with a 
blustering wind driving down the range, and at times with this wind 
came a driving mist with rain, and th2re was hardly a half hour 
adapted to good scores. ak 
The team Jost no time in repairing to the 500-yd. targets and settled 
down to the real work of the day at once. By 2 o’clock the grand 
stand was filled with spectators, the ladies turning out in large force, 
and for about three-quarters of an hour the sun shone out and the 
scene was animated, Thesky was soon overcast with clouds and a 
raw wind, which grew colder ever minute. sprang up and caused the 
teams to wiap up in overcoats. The Californians, unused to such a 
temperature, crouched in the stand and went to pieces bodily. The 
wind soon veered around and presently the yellow flags were flying 
in all directions and the wind-gange was whirling like a wheel. The 
gusty nature of the blasts often caused the shooters to wait several 
Minutes, and they were obliged to wedge in their shots whenever 
they got an opening, At4o’clock thestorm was almest a hurricane. 
and none of the shooters dared venture a shot. Two pairs of men 
lay side by side for half an hour, while the proposition of postponing 
the match was discussed. : 
Tt was verging on evening when the last pairs faced the targets, 
and they shot-as rapidly as they could load, much to the delight of 
the crowd which had not been driven away by the storm, The last 
shots were fired in the rain, and they were so lively that the scorers 
had bard work to keep track of the record. 
The full scores stood; 
Nevada Team.
