The selection of the place at whici & holiday course of th T tival. Singing e was without any stint, and the verein turners did all kinds of athletic and gymnastic stunts, but neither made the day. It was the crowd— al, animated, pulsating with the music t gave the second Sunday of the fes- lar and distinct char- acter. The opening day was something like it. Then the crowd was bigger, but it lacked the hearty freedom and the unre- i mirth that rode in triumphant strained fash over everything in the grounds yesterday morning, afternoon and even- | | merry-makers celebrated song and meas- ing. The sharpshooters felt the surging erowds in the grounds,and many of them postponed their work ‘at the targets on account of the on rush and streaming of spectators through the gallery above the shooting stalls. The pack was greatest in this very plac everybody who en- tered the grounds was to be seen at one time or anoth: g the day. Some came out of curiosity and others out of interest in_the shooters. Some sat down at the the scene at the ranges. Men who shoot for fun, men who shoot for records, men who shoot for return values flocked into the stalls and used up every available ticket that was on hand. On some tar- ts tickets were used twice. Never be- f sputtering fire heard at Shell Mound. There was no surcease from the noise and fury of target pinging and gun shooting, and when the day w over ries, markers and ticket sellers austed from their steady, unre- mitting labors. GAY OLD PICNIC TIME AROUND THE TABLES | Out in the plenic grounds where the ured revelry had a high oid time. The different German societies* estab- lished headquarters of entertainment. A toast and a song and a toast again, but no confusion, no disorder. This continued until a late hour in the evening when the dancers, tired and worn out with a and night session of the light fantastic, boarded the city-bound trains. The big- gest social day of the festival had come and gone and all were happy and light in sically used up. It was a { Club of Pittsburg. And well they might, for this Louis P. Ittel has proved himself a shooter. A dark horse, blanketed from public view as he rang up his strings one after the other, Tttel burst forth yester- day as a star of the first magnitude. When his twenty strings were added up it was found that Ittel had scored for kingship honors no fewer than 352 points, Until was a st two less than Adolph Strecker. 2 i Strecker had made his record, 3 | towering height or two over every score made in competition. With this championship mark in frox of him_Ittel certainly did phenome work. Like Strecker he is of the slen. keenly strung order of man and his last tickets improved in quality. As it stands now Adolph Strecker is high man for king honors and Louis P. Ittel is a close sec- ond. Ittel made 67 on the honorary yes- terday just as a bit of dessert to his many course and high-class kingship feast. ALL WATCH MASON, WHO MOVES STEADILY UPWARD In the immediate background is F. F. Mason, who may make a second of one and a third of the other. Mason blazed away at the targets yesterday and has no lack of confidence at any time. Which will it .be? To-day or to-morrow will teil the tale. GRACEFUL ATHLETES GIVE EXHIBITION OF SKILL The pleasing feature of the day was the exhibition given by the members of the various Turn' Vereins of this city and Oakland. Fully 400 members of the Ger- man Turner societies were the guests of the officlals of the Bundesfest, and they contributed largely toward the success of the second largest day of the festival. The societies. arrived at the grounds early in the morning. They were met at the gate by President Kuhls and the offi- cers of the bund and a brass band and escorted to the pavilions erected about the park for their use. The members of | the Turn Vereins were all attired in the neat gray uniform which has been worn by them at many great festivals. “They presented a handsome appearance as they marched through the grounds and the thousands of spectators who stood on each side of the line of miarch-applauded them liberally. - The societies represented in the parade were the Eintracht Turn Sec- tion, San ancigco Turn Verein, Oakland letics. The broad jump was made by the | athlete who made but a poor attempt at a-high jump, and the sixteen-pound shot was put the greatest distance by prob- ably the.fastest sprinter in the vereins entered. From the commencement of the games to their _ending the competition was keen. The honors went to the mem- bers of the Eintracht Turn Section, wha captured eight out of the eleven medals offered as prizes. The other three medals were won by the members of the San Francisco Turn Verein. The individual | winners were: Highest ‘grade—Fred Attinger Jr. and L. Scheppler, a tle, each receiving a gold medal; second prize, Reinhold Kaulfuss, old medal: third prize, Otto:Liebold, silver medal; fourth prize, William Hoffmann, silver medal. Second grade—First prize, Ernest Scheppler, gold medal; second prize, Fred Hoffmann, gold medal: third prize. Karl Mertens, silver medal; fourth’ prize, Willlam Heinecke. silver medal. Field sports—First prize, Willlam Heinecke, gold medal; second prize, L. Scheppler, silver medal. One of the pleasing features of the ex- hibition was the wand drill given by forty-two picked members of the-Vereins.

The officers of the National Schuetzen Bund will also be elected at this meeting. _To-morrow at noon, as soon as the na- tional contests shal! have been concluded, a prize shoot for the representatives of the press will be held. TEMPLE OF PRIZES IS DAMAGED BY FIRE Verein and the Hessen Hesang Verein. GTTO LEMCKE SCORES HIGH ON MAN TARGET Otto Lemcke made the highest score yesterday on the man target. He has been shooting very poorly since the open- ing of the festival and’his friends feared that he would not secure any of the prizes. He rounded into form yesterday, how- ever, and succeeded in scoring 71 on the | man target. No other marksman suc- ceedéd in scoring as many points on that target during the entire day.

STRIKE OF STATIONARY FIREMEN GOLLAPSES Failing to Get the Support of Mine-Workers They Will Return to Places. s Sl WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 21.—The sta. tionary firemen’'s strike has practically collapsed. At a- conference here to-da; betwecn the executive beard of the United Mine Workers and the striking firemen commitiées were appointed to wait' on the coul companies and if the strikers are taken back the strike will be declared off. The <ollowing statement was issued from the firemen’s headquarters to-night: After the officers of the three districts of the United Mine Workers defined the attitude they contemplated assuming toward the firemen, should their strike continue, we thought thai §t would be to the interest of all concerned to bring it to & speedy termination, and in con- sequence thereof we made propositions to them which were adopted, after which we instructed the firemen to pursue all honorable means to | have their positions returned. Although the strike is not yet declarod off until after the answers are received from their peployers, vet it scems to be the prevailing fopinion that should they be favorable the ac- tion of the delegates Monday evening will end the strike. But should any ome mow out of employment on sccount of the strike be dis- criminated against, the end would be as far off as ever, and the firemen are determined d by those who sacrificed their positions they would take our places. All of the fire who are still at work shall remain until after this convention. to stan b WAR IN CAPE COLONY HURTING AMERICAN TRADE Vessels From the United States Find Difficulty in Securing Dock- age Facilities. WASHINGTON, July 21.—The war in Cape Colony is hurting the United States | trade in that quarter, according to a re- port received at the State Department from Consul General Stowe, dated shortly before he submitted his resignation to the department. vessels from the United States ports are compelled to lie in the bay for days at a time before dockage facllities can be obtained, and this has caused orders for | certain goods heretofore obtained in the United States to be sent to England. Mail boats arriving from Southampton are allowed to enter the docks immediate- ly on arrival to discharge passengers, and they are allowed to discharge their freight at the same time. A later report from Mr. Stowe states that .the plague is on the wane, all re- strictions at the docks from this cavse having been.removed Four Men Killed by a Train. LEBANON, N.

It is thought that this fact should be recognized in Europe and the United States. The general feeling in Tientsin is that China is in nowise-overawed or re- pentant.

PEKING, July 2l.—Disaffection caused by the banditti is prevalent in thirty dis- tricts in' the éentral part of the province of Chili. Local officials are either disin- clined or unable with the force at their command to suppress.the troubles. Troops sent against the banditti showed sym- pathy for them, many having formerly been soldiers. They are better armed than the troops. In a recent conflict a hundred soldiers and officers were Kkilled. The troops of Yuan Shi Kai, Governor of Shantung, are the only ones that can be trusted to act. The result of dispatching some of them to_quell the disaffection is not yet known. Even if successful in one district an uprising is likely to' occur as soon as they depart for.another.
