The crowd that surged round th shooting boxes looked for Teutonic incur slons and Gissertations on the art of shoot- ing. They were disapointed.

Some of the shots fired went to good advantag wasted, not upon the des the white places of the crack shots, those men whose chests are de- double lined with medals of every scription_and character, looked at the 200-yard objective points of pe ful war. They literally shied at shooting. { When the Rhine wine warms their blood and stiffens their nerves they will walk into the glass cases and shoot for the honorary prizes, which a thankful com- | | munity has liberally provided.

Until yesterday there was some doubt about the success or non-success of this festival. There is no question of it now, for the third day’s puffing and smoking of guns in their continuous rattle was a positive indication of a happy and_ suc- cessful termination of this national shoot- ing carnival. The ticket sellers were kept busy and the shooting secretaries re- sharpened their pencils more than once as they jotted down the scores of the ambitious. Not until the afternoon #rere the ranges really crowded. When thd matutinal aspi- rants took to the long lunch tables scat- tered through the park an hour's cessa- tion from noise and explosive tumult was installed. Then the gay New York con- tingent was missed. Toasts with the good Rhine wine were not lacking, nor were the national songs, but the tall, familiar PRIZES figure of Captain Webur and his general band of happy marksmen, like the pro- werbial school boy on a vacation, were not t6 be found. All of them have gone sight seeing through the State. Del Monte, Catalina and Coronado will be visited in turn and then they will return to take part in the shooting on Saturday. RIFLEMAN WHO MADE A BIG SCORE 3 YESTERDAY AND SOME OF THE EXPERT MARKSMEN AT RANGE. San Francisco. Hardly has the third national shooting festival settled into the routine of its daily course when on every side one hears talk about the fourth. Colorado wants it, 80 does Milwaukee, and both are fighting for it. The Denver advocates shout for their city, claiming that it is centrally lo- cated and far better situated for such af- fairs. “Not so,” asseverate the Milwaukee visitors, and besides that they say in the next breath: “Look at our breweries.” Bets are being laid on the result of the fight. Afternoon’s the Thing. Quite a few visitors dropped into the park in the afternoon. The life of the fes- tival is a negative quantity in the noon, but when the sun has taken westward incline the guests come in from every side and make the best of an im- promptu picnic. The music in the pavil- fon and in the track stand draws quite an audience. It is a different kind from the shooting -yesterday. A light and not a very annoying wind blew across the ranges. When the fog cleared in the morning the light was fine and unvary- ing. Toward the end of the day, when the sun is in the deep western sky, many of the shooters cast aside their reserve and ping away for glory and a prize. They seem to like the conditions better in the late afternoon hours. Best Scores Made. The highest scores of the day on the principal targets were made by Theodore Geisel of Massachusetts with a score of 72 on the ring; J. Hauerwaas of Los An- get; D. B. Faktor, 48 on the standard; D. ‘W. McLaughlin, same score on the same target, and F. W. Belknap of Los Angeles with 15 on the bear target. Hintermann's three consecutive bulls- eyes on the Germania target was the fea- ture of the day’s shooting. Three red flags in succession is no mean perform- geles_with a score of 75 on the man tar- | | a gold medal and a cup. Though in good form, Hintermann did not care to try the companion honorary tar- get yesterday. He left the Eureka alone, reserving that for a future day. Hinter- mann is a member of the,Gruetli Shoot- ing Section. So great was his joy at the announcement of the score that he treated all his brothers. Out of a possible 18 on the bear target F. W. Belknap of Los Angeles made 15. This is the best score up to date on the | bruin. John Hauerwaas of the Los Angeles Turner Verein, Germania section, set tongues wagging when he made 75 out of a possible % on the man target. On the point target Haurewaas’ performance was over 300 and he thus won a silver and Hauerwaas uses a rifle with a native redwood stock. Otto Bremer made the first bullseye of the day. D. B. Faktor secured the last one. Fred Kuhnle of the California Schuetzen “All Peoples’ Day.” A large crowd is expected at the bundes- fest to-day, as it has been designated “All Peoples’ Day.” Ritzau's band of soloists will render the following programme in the afternoon: March, “Third Natlonal ; Bundes Festival’” (Ritzau); *“The Merry Wlives of Windsor” (Nicolal): waltz de concert, “‘On the Beautiful Rhine” (Keler Bela): duet for cornet and eu- phonium, ‘Miserere”® (Verdi), L.

They tried the ranges for a few shots, but soon sur- rendered to marksmen more experienced and more skiliful. They then found themselves at the table fixtures on the platform. The bottles popped and. the crowd grew .one by “one as the toasts grew longer and thicker in number. Shooting Moderately Good. The shooting was not of such caliber yesterday as on the preceding day. There were no Henderson or hmid performances, and very big men stepped to the ranges for registration, but any number of moder- ately good shots blazed away at the tar. te, scoring falr averages. Willlam ayes, king of his republican country, was again on the sceme. He was busy with his cartridges and his guns, but he did not shoot. He, too, is working him. self into the spirit, and one of these fine days will be found in the ranges punch- high ing holes in targets just like the rest ot none of the Marriage to Miss Lucy A. Kelley of New York. ¥ HUENEME, July 16.—Miss Luey A. Kel- ley of New York City was united in mar- riage to-day to Charles C. Perkins, son of Hon. W. T. Perkins of this city. Bishop Joseph Johnston of Los Angeles, assisted by Rev. Duncan Mackenzie, rec- tor of Hueneme Parish, performed the ceremony in the Episcopal church. Miss Anna Perkins, sister of the groom, | was the bride’s only attendant. Charles K. Field of San Francisco was best man. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served on the lawn. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins left for Los Angeles. They will reside in San Francisco. Mr. Perkins is connected with the Union Oil Company. A pleasant feature of the wedding breakfast was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Marylyn Main of Santa Barbara te Chester A. Thomas of Los Angeles alty Banishment and He Is Sent to Switzerland. PARIS, July 16.—Owing to the ill-health of M. Jules Geurin, who on.January 4, 1900, was sentenced by the French Sen- ate, sitting as a high ‘tourt, to ten years’ confinement In a fortified place for con- spiracy against the Government, the Government has now commuted Guerin's peried of imprisonment to banishment. Guerin was taken from his cell in jail soon after midnight last night by police agents, who subgequently put him on board a train going in the direction of Basle, Switzerland. o L Fire Destroys a Jewish Section. LONDON, July 16.—Fire destroyed the Jewish quarter of the town of New Blds- chow, Bohemia, yesterday. There were no faialities. tee to Remove the Thug Element Is Considered. DENVER, July 16.—The ministers of this city are considering the advisability of organizing a vigilance committee. The idea is to overthrow thug-rule. They say they will work in conjunction with the police department, but it is possible that | the police force may be an entirely su- perficial contingent. Although it is against the thugs that the ministers will primarily direct their attentlon, the work which they propose to do at once is only preliminary to the really gigantic scheme they have under consideration—looking to the uplifting of the entire community. They propose to establish an organization of power as far- reaching as Tammany’s in New York City, but with a view to establishing law and order instead of vpolitical supremacy. The plan for this organization was pre- »ared by a Judge now on tha bench. Assailant of the Executive Is Ar- rested and a Serious Riot Follows. ORAN, Algeria, July 16.—While Max Regls, the anti-Semite Mayor of Algiers, was going to the Casino to-night he was severely stabbed in the neck. His assail- ant was arrested. Rioting followed and thirty persons were taken into custody, among them Louls Regis. Passengers Leave a Sinking Ship.
