 eye was made by James Brooks of Pittsburgh, and the next in 

 rank Henry BCOcgel. 



It must be said that the first day was a discouraging one. The 

 light was bad and with targets facing away to the north so that 

 with the best of light the t« rgcts are not over-conspicuous through 

 the slits from the shooting house. 



Jul ii 10.— Shooting Park presented a gay and animated scene 

 early this morning, and when the cannon's boom announced that 

 the time had arrived for the second day's competitions to begin, 

 numbers of 'marksmen could be seen grouped in small bodies over 

 the green. The banners and Hags that floated from evory tent 

 and house added to the animation and beauty of the scene. The 

 attendance during the early hours was not large, although it ex- 

 ceeded that of the previous day, but as the hours wore on the 

 crowd was greatly swelled. 



C. F. Stewart, of Norwalk, O., made the first bullseye. George 

 Joiner on the Stic h target put in three Gin. bullseyes. The win- 

 ner of the morning prize on the honor target was T. Fitzsimmons, 

 of Hoboken, with 61 out of a possible 75 points. J. E. Barnelt, of 

 Washington, Pa., was rewarded with $3 for the last bullseye 

 scored before the gun fire for the end of the morning competition. 

 W. M. Farrow made the exceptional record of 21 bullseyes on the 

 point, target. A largo number of marksmen received silver med- 

 als for 35 points on the same target. The gold medal winners for 

 135 points on the game targets were Mathew Gindole, of Cinein- 

 einnati, O., G. M. Cook, of Davenport, la., and Henry Hoolm, of 

 Man roe, Wis. One of the best shots on the ground was F. O. 

 Young, of California, who has only one baud and one eye. 



it was computed that during the day 800 men shot at the JO 

 targets on the ground. Every one speaks in the highest praise of 

 the arrangements for shooting. Not a hitch has occurred of any 

 description. 



The first bnllsove of the afternoon was obtained by Mr. Hornier, 

 of Greenville. W. A. Koehiller, of Syracuse, made lOil on the 

 American target, and C. Berris made 48. The last bullseye was

The shooting at the targets open to all was interesting, the 

 greatest, interest being taken in the contest, at the American 

 standard target, under the National Rifle Association rules. The 

 score of 1*5, made yesterday by B. Walt her of the New York 

 Zettler club, was beaten by throe men. W. H. Beardsley of

 Centre Valley. N. Y., each scored 138 points. Their individual 

 scores in each shot were as follows: Beardslev, 45, IS. 15; Jewell, 

 47, 47, 43, Haws, who is a great, fly caster, 47. 44, 47. Z. C. Talbot, a 

 colored man from Springfield, Mass., made 4ft out of a possible 50 

 points. He has got the chance to make $100. A. C.White of 

 Worcester, Mass.. scored 45 in one trial, and A, Braun of Jersey 

 City shot twice and soured 40-43 out. of a possible 50 each time. 



July 11.— The third day of the fest brought fine weather but a 

 very, very tricky wind, until wind gauges were of very little use. 

 The shooting went on with vigor, however, and the racks were 

 kept crowded with arms. 



The first bull'seye in the morning was made by W. M. Wagner 

 of Princeton, TIL, and the last at noon by G. Sebalch of Potts vi lie, 

 Pa. At the "honor" target, Charles Moltcr made 33, 10, 19. a

 eyes. 



Jvity 13— The shooting to-day was sadly marred during the 

 morning hours by the cold, changeable and hea vy wind that swept 

 along the ranges. The force of the blast was so variable that it 

 was almost an impossibility to gauge it correctly. 



The first, accident of the festival happened, but although the 

 wound received is painful, it is not serious. John Coppersmith, 

 while holding a muzzlcloading ride while another man forced the 

 bullet, down the barrel, received the end of the ramrod with such 

 force on his hand between the thumb and forefinger that it pierced 

 the flesh almost through the hand. Medical attendance was at 

 once procured and the injury dressed, but the would will interfere 

 considerably with Air. Coppersmith's shooting for a time. 



Mr. Buscber of Hartford, Conn., won the prize for the first 

 bullseye in the morning, and F. O. Young of California the prize 

 for the last bullseye before the noon gun fired. The shooting was 

 as a whole good, as many of the better known marksmen had laid 

 off from the contests till now; and bad the wind behaved any- 

 thing like decently there would undoubtedly have been many 

 heavy scores. Numerically, the marksmen could not compare 

 with those of Wednesday and Thursday, but the ranges were kept 

 fairly busy. 



The. first bullseye. in the afternoon was obtained by V. Deltmar 

 of New York, and the last of the day by Mrs. G. Damns of Brook- 

 lyn, the only iady that shot at the targets during the festival. The 

 greatest interest was exhibited in those who were nearest to 

 obtaining the. coveted position of Schuetzen King. The contest 

 was led by W. M. Farrow of Holyoke, Alass., who has held the 

 position since 1878. He made. 517 points out of a possible 900 on the 

 point target with one of his own make rifles. Mr. Dorrler of 

 Greenville, N. J., came next with 509 points. J. Hoggins of Pitts- 

 burgh made 499. These three marksmen finished their scores 

 early in the day, and those that, came after were watched to see 

 if their scores would be defeated. The only one that came up to 

 these scores, however, was E. Berg with 596, and Farrow there- 

 fore remained king. 



The scores made on the various targets were as foUows:

A meeting of delegates of the International Sharpshooters' 

 Union was held in the evening with President Gottfrid Krueger 

 in the chair. There were 86 delegates present, representing, with 

 a few exceptions, all the societies that participated in the festi- 

 val. The constitution was read, and with a few amendments 

 adopted. It was framed after the constitution of the former 

 North American Sharpshooters' Union, the only difference being 

 in the mode of taxation. The former union taxed the local clubs 

 according to their membership, no matter how many of the mem- 

 bers took part in the festival. The new union proposes to tax 

 only those who take an active part in a festival. 



Air. Schotte had an amendment, adopted to the effect that the 

 members of a club taking part should tie taxed as follows: One 

 to 5 members §5 each, 6 to 10 $4 each, 11 to 3D $3, 21 to 39 §3, 31 to 

 50 $1. 



None of the societies represented was prepared to take charge 

 of the arrangements for the next international shooting festival 

 that is to be held in 1899. The society undertaking it will be res- 

 ponsible for any deficiency that might occur. On motion of W. 

 A, AA r eber of the Independent New York Schuetzen, the union ad- 

 journed until December, when final action will be taken. It is 

 thought one of the New York societies, probably the Indepen- 

 dents, will undertake the next festival and have it held at Union 

 Hill Shooting park. 



The meeting adopted a resolution of thanks for AVilliam Hayes, 

 the chairman of the shooting committee, for the splendid ar- 

 rangement of the shooting stands. 



July lit.— The Fcst closed quietly with few on the grounds early 

 in the day. 



The team shooting was begun at 3 o'clock, and resulted as fol-
