FIRST IN THREE EVENTS San Francisco’s Crack Marks- ‘man Distances All Competitors. TOP SCORES AT EACH TARGET. Honors of the Opening Skirmish Captured by the Men From the Coast. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 30.—The in- auguration ceremonies of the first shooting festival of the National Schuetzenbund of the United States of America commenced this morning, ana until 7 p. a. the quiet surroundings of Schuetzen Park at Glen- dale, L. 1., echoed with the crack of pow- der and the ping of bullets, while thous- ands saw a California marksman win the day. From early morning until about 11 A. a. rain fell steadily, but at this hour a des- perate struggle between the sun and rain resulted in a partial recovery of the former. The threatening aspect of the weather militated greatly aganst the attendance in the morning and early afternoon, but when things atmospherically looked set- tled the crowd commenced to arrive and fully 8000 people were scattered through the park. The Schuetzens were fortunate in their selection of a locality for their celebration. Glendale Park is about twenty minutes’ ride from Long Tsland City and is a place of great natural beauty, with an area of about thirty acres. It contains a large dancing pavilion, bowling alleys, restau- rants, bars and many other facilities for comfort and amusement. The scene to- day exhibited an animated appearance, all the structures being gayly decorated with German and National bunting and signs of “Welkomme” were everywhere manifest. No means were neglected to make the “Volk” happy. They watched the shoot- ing and bowling; they danced; they lis- tened to tyrolean yodlers singing their pative songs in costume; acrobats went through aerial manouvers for their bene- fit and vaudeville was presented to their view. They danced and ate, drank and were merry to their hearts’ content. The festivities were kept up to a late honr fo- - waonnd & grand py: A source of great interest to the sight- seers during the day was the pavilion con- taining the honorary prizes presented to the bund from all quarters. The crowd thronged the sides of the pavilion, specu- lating over the individual value of the gifts, which in the aggregate amount to between $50,000 and $60,000, and grew rap- tureus over the splendid display, which ranged - from $1000 cups and services of solid silver down to medals of gold and silver. . The promoters haye been for some years arranging for this mammoth festival. The forty-five rifle ranges, 200 yards Jong, after a careful and critical examination were pronounced by experts to be perfectand are highly commended by the sharp- shooters. Every detail has been attended to =0 as to make the best possible records, each of the targets having been puttoa severe test, and the general verdict is that they cannot be improved upon. In addition to the shooting there are in- dividual and team bowling contests, the prizes for which will be very big. The first series of bowling for such prizes took place to-day, open to all comers. During every day of the festival there will bea banquet between 1 and 2 r. M. The shoot- ing contests will be continued from 8 A. M. to 7 r. M. There will be concerts and dancing during the afternoon and anin- teresting programme of general amuse- ments. In the evening stereopticon views and fireworks will be exhibited. To-morrow the Schuetzenfest will be formally opened, to-day’s shooting being for general prizes open to all comers. The parade starts at 9 o’clock, and will be par- ticipated in by all the local and visiting rifle clubs and the German veteran soldiers, the Turners and singing societies of New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey and many of the Volksfest organizations. The parade will form at the Schuetzen Hall on St. Marks place, proceeding via Broadway, Union Square and Fifth avenue to Thirty-fourth-street ferry, and the Long Island Railroad to Glendale Park. At Union Square, Gov- ernor Morton, Mayor Strong and other honorary members of the society will re- view the parade. Although the shooting to-day was more in the nature of a skirmish, the real battle taking place to-morrow, there was good iy e - LU L0007 41100 LA A1 1Y U 0t T e T 27 7 O R P 0T O IO 15 A Bt 080810 THE NEW FRENCH HOSPITAL, i 9 NOW OPEN .

No association or targets of honor were used to-day, only those open to all comers, namely, the poirit, standard, ring and man targets. The former has a black of twelve inches in diameter, divided into three yards, the inner bullseye circle being three inches in diameter and counts three points. The nextisa circle of six inches in diameter and counts two points. The balance of the clock counts one point. As each ticket en- titles the holder to ten shots the highest possible score on this target is 30. The American standard has a black of 11 inches diameter. The bullseye, or inner ring, counts 10, the next 9,8,7 and 6 re- spectively. As each ticket entitles the holder to five shots the maximum score is 50. The public ring target is divided into 25 rings, three-fourths of an inch apart, the black being 12 inches in diameter and PRICE FIVE CENTS.

The balance of the target, which is white, contains rings 1 to 17. Cards for this target call for three shots, which make the high- est possible score 75. The New York Marksmen, Independent Elite German-American Schuetzen Corps, the City Schuetzen, the Zetters and others were well represented. The' St. Louis Independent Schuetzen did not try very hard, as one of them said there is plenty of time yet. Riflemen from the vicinity of this city were very in- dtstrions. Gebhard Krauss of the Brooklyn Schuetzen Gezellschaft dis- tinguished himself by winning the first gold medal. Staten Island was repre- sented by Helbi, Neies and Seidel, three marksmen who should be heard from later on. The palm, however was borne off by the Columbia Rifle Company of S8an Francisco. Blodan set a runaway pace with the fol- lowing fine score: 46 on the standard (highest possible 50), and 70 on the ring target (highest possible 75.) He was followed by his clubmate Strecker, the victor at the recent shooting tournament at Milwalkee, who is not only considered the champion of the. Pacific Slope, but the best shot in the world. The crack upheld his high reputation. He tied Blodan’s 46 on the standard, he surpassed him on the ring by scoring 73 out of a possible 75, and he duplicated his record-breaking feat at Milwaukee by again scoring 97 on the man target. His single shots at the latter were two 20’s and three 19’s. Gus Zimmerman, the New York crack, was in fine form. He shot thrice 46 on the standard, thrice 71, and once 70 on the ring, an excellent showing. Gold medais for 150 points made by one shooter were awarded to Gebhard, Krauss, Louis Bendel, H. D. Miller, C. Copper- smith, J. Fachlamm, Henry Holger, A. Jungblutt, G. Homrighausen and C. New- man. Silver medals for twenty-five points were won by John Blumenberg, E. Blodan, C.

The Contest to Be Based On It and Documents Found at the Same Time. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 30.—Afttorney Harrison K. Bunce has prepared papers and will shortly commence a suit to re- cover title to property valued at several million dollars, including two-thirds of the ground now occupied by Shaw’s Gardens, eight sections of land lying south of the garden and extending through Tower Grove Park, and twelve sections compris- ing pearly balf of Franklin County. The prospective litigants are the heirs of Louis Denoy, one of the pioneer settlers in the Mississippi Valley. They claim. a clear title to the property through Spanish and French grants. In addition to this they claim to have leases to several blocks from Broadway to the river, and from Kansas to Krauss street. On this prop- erty mills, factories and residences have been built, until it now comprises one of the best parts of South St. Louis. Louis Denoy leased theland from the grantee in 1820 for ninety-nine years at a monthly rental of $1, which was paid up to 1850. The heirs claim to have a clear title, and are arranging to prove title. pay ap th rental and take possession of the property. As yet they have been unable to learn who owns the ground and executed the lease. Being faded with age, the name cannot be made out in the papers, and for over forty years there has been no claimant for the rental. Nothing has been found in the records to indicate who the owner was. If he died without an heir, the Denoy heirs declare the property will revert to them under the lease. The householders and those who have built mills and factories on the land and held undisputed possession for years be- lieve they have a title to it, and will fight every step made by the claimants. There are nine living heirs to the Denoy estate. Very recently the will of Louis Denoy and papers substantiating the Franklin County title have been discov- ered, and upon these the clairm will be fought, KILLED A NEGRO. A Shot Fired to Frighten Proves Fatal to a Supposed Robber. OMAHA, Nrsr., June 30.—Tony Hy- dock, a saloon-keeper at 323 North Twenty- seventh street, South Omaha, to-night shot and instantly killed Charles Taylor, a colored man, of Omaha. Hydock and his bartender, Frank Peter- son, and two other men were sitting in his saloon playing cards, when they heard an unusual noise in a barber-shop next to the saloon. Hydock went to investigate and saw Taylor running away with a mirror. He fired twice at the negro, the second shot taking effect in the back of the head. Hydock gave himself up to the police and says he shot only to irighten the negro, whose object apparently was robbery. —_———— KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
