SHOOTING FESTIVAL.
GRAND GATHERING OF MARKsMES AT THE
BREWERY PARK-FINE SHOOTING AND
PLEASANT DOINGS-PRESENTATI OF
PRIZES TO THE vICTORS. .. {,

The prize shooting and picnic Of the
Deutschc SchuetZen GeselSchaft took place
at the Schuetzen Park yesterday in accord
ance with announcement, and proved a
most pleasurabe affair. During the morn
ing there were but few persons present eX-
cept the "shootists" and their friends, but
as the day advanced the crowd commenced
to gather, and ere the evening had closed
the dancing-pavilion was filled with merry
dancers. <.,
. The scene during the afternoon was quite
animated; the sounds Of the shots OF the
ambitious marksmen mingled with the mu-
sic Of the band, and the tender warnings OF
several candidates present enliEened their
many constituents to the tune of one beer
apiece, or perhaps cigar for a "dufler."
THE SHOOTING
was generally very good, though up to 8
O'Clock there seemed to be but few VINO
were willing to contend against Mr.. Broad
: dus, who had scored LOG; but soon the am
bilious ones set in, and he was in the condl-
ton of candidate with doubtful precinct
to be heard from. William Euker, who had
already had one shot, came to the fore at
about O'Clock and scored 1l3. Justice
White was at that time third best, but Mr..
Klein. after fair trial, got ahead OF him
and placed him fourth best. We give below
