THE NEW YORK HERALD BULLETIN.
When about one-thrd OF the shots at the 200
Yards range had been fred the HERALD corrc-
spondents found, on calculation, that the irish
team coulo not possibly pull up the last round
and accordingly the zoe signal was put up on a
large sheet OF parchment, Armstrong nearly
deadp' which report had q deep aud hidden
meaning. and completely puzzled the crowds VINO
mouths open wondering who the Mr.. Armstrong
was. Several were the inquiries made by these
stalworth sons OF Erin who stood gaping
outside the enclosure as the signal went up
| "What team does he belong to, i wonder2" "was
1t the gun burstr and such like questions and
! indeed somo OF the aristocracy would have given
tri1e to know the meaning OF the words that 80
| perpexed the humber classes.
'BIsMARCK."
But when the code word "Bismarck' went up
the crowd was completely dumbfounded, and
wondered what the Prussan had to do with the
rife match. But finally, when the signal was run
up from the HERALD quarters in plain printing,
America wins" there was deafen1ng roar,
which lasted several minutes, and only ceased
when the scores OF both teams were boisted, with
the
GRAND TOTAL,
which was read with great surprise. Finally,
Wien the latter signal was taken down. there was
q grand cheer ;or the Americans from
the crowd outside the enclosure, In which
cheer was interwoven for the HERALD
who, they thought, placarded the result for
| their special information ana how kind
| II was OF the New York reporters to do that for
lem. "Yerra tits long before them English leilas
inside dere would tell US who wlnned de match"
| exclaimed an elderly son Of the SOIL, dressed in
| knee breeches, as he whirled a Dlackthorn stick,
| covered for about q foot from the end by hob
nails, ''but begaurrtes I'm sorry our boys were
