AMERICA WINS. {CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE.) ards’ firing a loud hum of pleased voices was heard. ut when it was postea up that the Americans had won by 22 points, a shout went ap that would have proved to any one of the winners that his efforts to win glor} for his country were appreciated. Persons of ail ages, rich and poor, malvs and females, merchants d Bhop giris, foreigners and natives, policemen and ordinary men—all were talking about *thegreat shoot” last evening. At tho 8%. Nicholas, Sinclair Hous Everett House, su Denis, Union Pi Union Square hotels, the lobbies and parlors = we! more than usually tail, but everybody was conversing on the riflo match. Some people thought that no team would come again fora iong time to this country to contest with the victors of yesterd: bing? A had been too successful both abroad and uring the past two years. Oo mtleman in the St Nicholas Hotel lobby was beard to say:—‘‘According to the interviews which a Heeaco reporter bad with the captains of the various leams during the excursion of the riflemen to West Point on Aon Inst, the visitors ail conceded t! victory to us if the wind did not blow during t match, But yesterday there was quite a wind Crecdmoor, and still the ‘boys’ did their best work during iu” Long botore cight o'clock a large number of people bad collected in front of Merritt's, !n Ninth street, the headquarters of the Scoteh team, to meet them on their arrival. As time went on the crowd increased, as well ‘as their expectation. Somo expressed « fear that the team would not come home at all this evening-in order not to show their disappointment. This, how. ver, was refuted about nine o'clock by the try of Me come, they come!” Yes, they came, first three of them, and about a quarter of an hour later the rest of them. The expression on their faces was a mixture of weariness and disappointment, partially concenied by an attempt to smile uncon- eernedly. ‘How did it happen?” exclaimed their (mends But they deciined to oxpress any opinion, some only ascribing it all to ‘bad luck.” “Never mind,” exclaimed a sympathizing friend, ‘you will win yet; the Americans won again this time, but, as the Scripture says, ‘The race is not aiways to the swift nor the battle to the strong’ Their ladies, too, gathered around them and wanted to know “ail about it,” but they gently got rid of them and harried to the dinner table, since they bad, as they expressed it, ‘a ravenous bunger.’’ While they were thus occupied their “‘brither Scotsmen”’ collected in littie groups outside discussing the event; “though Deaten,”’ said they, “still they are not conquered ;" they fought well and deserved to win, but fortune ae- cided otherwise, Tho Americans are in the state of Pyrrbus after he was victorious over the Romans, 4 en he said, “Another day like this and I am un- Jone." in the Metropolitan and otner hotels nothing was talked of but the victory of the American team, Everyboay had foreseen it—it was int he American sharacter to win whenever they entered upon any- wing. The shooting of the Australians was greatly mired; io fact the conduct of all 4 the praise it deserved. Great surpr manifested, however, at hooting of the team, Tous mischi emed inexplicable to y body, especially as Captain McDonalé had said that the Scotch could do their beat ata high w: Some of the gentlemen who had been to Creedmoor, however, pressed themselves Very much displeased with the ra:lroad arrangements aud the want of courtesy of the railroad officials in not providing factiities for the di ferent teams to get back to the city, Some of the men bad to wait for boars before th nid get on a ty At yifth Aver jotel, whe, ities so long have reign ipreme, evou “ihe situation” was left undis- .

The same spirit of rejoicing was observable at the os Hotel and Rotel Brunswick, whilo at the Hous@, where Major Yale resiaes, many a in waiting to groet the member of the vie friend wi torious team, AT GILMORE’S GARDEN the crowds who paraded tho resort appeared to feel a common flash of pleasure at ur boys’? achieve- ments. “Well, wo've won,” was an exultant ex- Pression that often passed from ono glad tongue to another. The band, which, even upon short notico, was bound to do some honor to the oceasion, pretaced their regular programme with the ‘Star-Spangled Banner,” and the same air was sung by Mme. Pappen- heim later in the evening. It had been expected that Generals Hawley, Knox, Sbaler, McMahon and others of the Committee of Ar- Tangements for to-night’s gala timo at tho Garden would bave been present last. evening to decide more fully apon the preparations. However, they did not come, but it is proposed by the committee that alter the presentation by General Hawley the winners of the trophy will march about the Garden bearing their prize with them and followed vy the other competing teams. General Knox has received requests from some forty rifle clubs im different parts of the country who wish to join im doing honor to the winning team: very piece of music in the programine for to-night will have some reterenco to the subject of tho mated.

The news (rom Creedmoor fell upon the people of Jersey City with surprise. Tho large nuwber of citt- zens who went {roi that city to witness the splendid fonts on Wednesday had given glowing accounts and prepared the public mind for a neck-and-neck struggle between the Seotch and Irish teams for tho first place, with the Americans next. The betting on the Scotch team was heavy ip the morning, but declined im the af. ternoon when the rst reports were received. The betting was even during the afternoon, Ho odds being offered. Une taghis worth noting—uamely, that the Irish element in several quarters ot tho city was enthusiastic over the victory of the American team. This is due mainly to the Jeoling that the Irish team did not represent tie people of Ireland, but only a privileged few, who are more Engiish than Celtic, and who have always been the eneuics of Irish nationality, An ex-Mayor of Jersey City, who is an American in the broadesi sense, chimed in with this feviing. He remarked toa Hxnatp reporter, “I ave Siuaied the history of Ireland and am prety familiar with irish names, and | don’t find « single irish namo in the rifle team.” When the O's and tho Macs grasp the rifle then U'li cali it an irish team. 1b would be more correct to call (hose now here an English team, You might as weil cai the Canadian team the Amert- cab team, but We Would repudiate It a6 such, knowing it would not represent our true American {ecling."? THE CENTENNIAL RIVLE TROPHY—‘‘AMBRICA TO THR RIFLEMEN OF THB WoRLD.” Thore is now on exhibition at Tigany's, Cuion square, the spleadid and unique banner trophy to be presented to-day to the success{ul team, This trophy ts to bo an annval prize and will be shot for year after year, the winning nation only to hold It tweive months be- fore again being liable to be called into tho Gold by » fresh challenge, It is nearly eight feet in height, In stylo of an old Roman standard; the banner part is of iron, iniaid with gold, and the inscription is in letters of silver, partly iniaid and partly in relief, presenting a most beautiful effect, The lines run thas:— Denne re eeaererene ne ne rere re rere ants Ett TE TEE BOE re $ IN THE NAME OF 3 THY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 3 TO 1H® RIFLEMEN OF THE WORLD, 3 Dee ee ne nee rene anda ae ttt EE TELE OOLELE TELE ETE ED Silver wreaths eucircie this inscription, suspended on chains of burnished “copper, in tho centre of Which, in exqmisite Hgures, the dates from 1576 to 1834 inclusive, appear-—one date, of course, in each wreath, The bottom of thi iq@e banner is bung heavily with gold motalite fr i.
