THE soHUETZENFEsT.
Close of the SpOrf-The King Shot
Prizes Won-LarSer Attendance.

As was anticipated, there was a considera-
bic increase in the attendance Of visitors at
the Schuetzen Park yesterday, the closing
day Of the tenth annual festival of the Sa-
vannah Schuetzen Gesellschaft. The dane
ing pavilion presented a scene that remind
ed one somewhat OF former times,
when the festivals of the schuetzen
Society were attended by all classes Of our
citizens, and the occasion was known as the
American erman festival. During the
afternoon numbers drove out In private con-
veyances or came by the cars, and in conse-
quence there was no difficulty in obtaining
partners, and dancing was enjoyed with
more than usual zest.
The Guards Band played several very
popular airs on the ground, the music for
the dancing being furnished by string
band.
To the members of the society, of course,
the shooting gallery was the centre of at
traction, and the several contests were
entered into with spirit. The shooting
opened at IL q. m, and continued, with
slight interruption, until half-past
five o'clock. There were quite a
number of cur well known rifemen pres
emit, who took part in the shooting at the
yards, several of whom were fortunate in
winning prizes.
The Kings prize was won by Jacob Kali
ser, who secured this distinguished honor
among the SchuetZen last year, and there
fore is to be doubly congratulated. 1t is not
often the same SchuRizen is thus fortu-
nate at two successive tests, and
the greetings Of his many friends were cor
dial and hearty. A description of the hand
some medal selected as the prize for the
King was given in Yesterdays NEWS.

PRESENTATION.
About quarter past six o'clock large

unity to the shooting gallery, and the vari
GUS prizes were arranged thereon, and other
preparations made for the presentation.
The members OF the society, headed by
the Guards Band, formed in procession and
marched to the table. This was the signal
for a general outpouring Of the merry
throngs that filled the dancing pavilion, and
in a few minutes the grounds presented
a very attractive sight, a pleasurable ex-
citement prevailing in the crowd, as there
was curiosity to learn who had been the
lucky ones in the general contests.
When everything was arranged Judge
VIM. ID. Harden, in a few forcible remarks,
announced the winners and distributed the
prizes, which was attended with consldera-
Die meriment.
After the prizes had been awarded, the
band played q lively air and there was
return 10 the pavilion, where dancing was
resumed and continued until the bell was
rung announcing the departure of the last
cars, and thus ended the tenth annual
SchuetZenfest.
