Magnificent Performance Through- out the Entire Contest Made Uncle Sam’s Representatives Pop- ular Favorites. BISLEY, July 11—The great inter- national team match, the most important event of the Olympic rifle contests, has | been won by America, and the American marksmen thus become the champions of the world. The American aggregate score was 2,531, that of the British team, 2.496, while the Canadian team scored 2,439, Starting with a lead at the end of the first range, the Americans never were dis- placed, and with the exception of the contest at the s0U0-yard range, they scored higher totals for each of the six distances Europe could put in the field. In the individual aggregates also the Americans always were prominent.

Although the Americans’ lead of yester- way was not great it was about as large as they expected, their hopes of winning the match being laid in the scores they |expect to make at the longer distances. The weather this morning continued un- favorable for good scores, the day being dull, with a variable wind, the enemy | of all riflemen. | The Americans. however, at 800 yards jincreased their lead to thirteen points, 436, thus bringing their aggregate the four distances up to 1,727. English team maintained second place by scoring 433, making an aggregate of 1,7... Canada, the third team on the ist. made 424, but the team lost so many | points yesterday that their total for the four distances is only 1.678. | Individual Prizes for Americans. | ‘The official announcement of the result |of the %O meters individual match, shot | yesterday, gives the gold medal to Helge- rud of Norway, who scored 904; the silver | medal to Lieut. Semon of Ohto, with 886, |and the bronze medal to Sather of Nor- way, with 879. The protest made by Gorman, American, against a miss with which he was credited jin the individual revolver contest has been | disallowed. The gold, silver and bronze meduls in this contest were today officially | awarded, respectively, follows: as Van 1) Aebrock, Belgium, with 490; Storms, Bel gium, with 487, and Axtell, America, with 480. It was thought generally when the Jonger distances were reached that the |team contest would resolve itself into a |battle between the Americans and the Englishmen. Both teams shot well, the | Americans particularly so. For a time the | Canadians threatened to upset these cal- jculations. Four of them at the start to- day made every shot 4 buil's-eye, but three of this team broke down with the last shot and Sergt. Smith alone got the highest possible. ‘Three other Canadiaus, Capt. Crowe, Private Williams and Corp. | McInnes, scored 74 each, but their total | was spoiled by Sergt. Kerr, who got 6 Americans’ Brilliant Shooting. ‘The shooting of the Americans was bril- |liant and evoked the greatest praise. None of them made the highest possible score, but no fewer than tive or six men red while Eastman got 71. This plendid showing gave the Americans a total for this range of 436 out of a possi- 450.

Kern for the vice presidency last night when officers and members of the Indiana Democratic Club “got busy” and arranged a follification in celebration of the honor that has come to | Indiana. Flags, banners, fireworks and a big brass band, all worked into one long procession of shouting marchers, combined to express in some degree the enthusiasm of, the Indianapolis demo- crats over the nomination of Mr. Kern. Headed by the band the paraders, 600 strong, marched through the downtown streets and up Pennsylvania street to the Kern home, 1836 North Pennsylvania street, where the wife of the nominee was congratulated. Her appreciation of the visit of the marchers was voiced by Judge Frank E. Gavin, who spoke for her. The paraders then marched to the home of Vice President Fairbanks, on North Meridan street, where the Vice President was serenaded. Coming to the veranda} of his residence, Mr. Fairbanks thanked | | the visitors for the serenade and in a) short speech paid tribute to Mr. Kern. | Scene of Great Activity. | During the evening the Kern dwelling | was the scene of the greatest activity and most interesting excitement. As Miss Julia Kern explained it to a friend, “T was mad as hops befere 5 o'clock, but I'm excited to death now.” The early reception, which was begun before dinner, assumed large proportions in the evening, when peopze flocked in and out in great numbe: The telephone was busy continually and, taking every- thing into consideration, the Kern home has never seen such a night. The tele-/| gan to arrive shortly before 8 o'clock, and among the first received was the one which Mrs. Kern had been longing for during the previous three hours. That most desired message read: “Mrs. John Kern, Indianapolis, Ind.— Have just been nominated. God bless you all.—John.”” Mrs. Kern, shortly before midnight, sent two telegrams, one to W. J. Bryan at Lincoln and another to John W. Kern at Denver, offering congratulations in the one case and love as well as congratula- tions in the other. Mrs. Kern’s message to Mr. Bryan was: “This morning had hopes for the ticket. This evening there is no doubt.” She worded her message to Mr. Kern as follows: “With love, congratulations and hearty | support. “THE KERN FAMILY.” “I have certainly had a most delightful evening and the only regret is that I lost my voice,” said Mrs. Kern shortly before midnight when the festivities of an un- usual day at the home of the newgvice presidential nominee were brought to a close. “I am going to take Mr. Kern in charge when he gets home, and we are going into the fight to win. He is in the best of health now, and my only fear is that the campaign might cause him trou- ble.
