4 New Sport introduced by the yereir

New Sport introduced by the yerein
Saxouia.
'Eerein Saxonia" is the name of a new
Swiss organization that celebrated an an
nual event at Harbor View yesterday. The
event, Of course, was purely social, but the
distinctive feature that gave it its name
was the ''erste crosse Vogelsch' essen"
(frSt grant eagle shoot, something entirely
new in picnic sports in this country. The
Invitations explained that the shoot would
be carried on init DeutScher Armbrust
tRustungl with German bow guns.
The bow gun was the Swiss weapon in the
time of William lell, and while its reproduc-
ton at this advanced age shows it off at
some considerable disadvantage, it neverthe-
less formed the center OF wonderful interest
and afforded any amount OF amusement
Throughout the day.
The shoot differed from the modern target
shoot in this respect, that instead of the
target being bulPs-eye ora set of riRgsiand
the degree Of craftsmanship measured by
the nearest approach to the center, the target
consisted of a huge design. resembling in
outline an eagle with spread wings. as some
times seen pictured on a shield. From the
main upright body OF the design projected
forty or fifty feathers, all numbered, and the
competitors rank on the scale OF prizes was
decided by the number of the feather or
point he hit, IL any.
This design was mounted on mast
fully 80 feet high, and the marksmen took
aim from position about that distance
from the base OF The mast.
The guns are queer looking relics. In
principle they are the same as the toy
crOsS-gun, ana the pTOJrctiie is an arrow.
They are much more complete, of course,
in mechanical get-up, and the arrow is
sped with a great deal more force than
from the aY rage crOSS-Sun.
The novelty of the sport was what gave
it its unusual interest. Nothing of the kind
had ever been seen in San Francisco before,
and it was curious enough t. see the sons Of
the Alps handling their primitive weapons.
The sport continued until darkness OBJ
scured the feathers, and it was necessary to
cease shooting before al the prizes had been
captured.
Many other sources of amusement held
the attention OF visitors hours at time
The lucky wheel was, in one sense, even
more popular than the eagle-shoot, only
because it was less exclusive. A CARLOAD
OF prizes awaited the winners, and all sorts,
big, little, long and short, were permitted to
take spin.
Then there was the swinging bird shoot
that amused the women folks so greatly.
On the table at that place were hundred or
more prizes and the competition was
spirited as long as one remained.
The contest in the bowlng-aley resulted
as follows; First prize William Gimbel I;
second, Plottner; third. NJ. Glindermann :;
fourth, f. Attinger. Most mines, William
Gimbel.

Rem TX a BILE Invention of Safe That
Cannot Be Broken Omen.
A Chicago 1an who has of late years kept
his eye on Missouri matters, says the News,
has just completed an invention that will
almost reconcile the Younger brothers to
their prison walls, and would make Jesse
James quit the business if he were still
alive. This invention is a safe that cannot
be broken open by robbers. by express mes
sengers, nor BY any one save the agent at
the point to which it is consigned The
lock is attached to the axle of the car by an
ingenious combination of wheels and levers
From thence IL reaches into the interior of
the car ana into the safe. When il is ready
for shipment it is locked and the combina-
ton is given only to the official having con-
troll of the station tn which it goes. and it
cannot be opened until it has reached its
destination.
By an Ingenious device it is made to record
the distance travelled by the train, and not
until il has gone over the distance to which
the lock is set can it be opened. Trainmen
who are ignorant of the distance which it is
to travel cannot tell when or where it will
be open-they only will be able to tell how
far il is gone. 1t is also claimed by the in
ventor that no amount Of switching will
affect the lock, nothing affecting it but a
straight run from place to place. This re-
markable claim remains to be proved, how

1T the Alameda base ball grounds yester-

between the Burnaby and Alameda clubs.
Only one inning was played. There were
very few spectators, owing perhaps to the
fact that many of the members are known
TO have lost interest in the standing OF their
respective clubs, to such an extent that they
spend the cricket days" in fishing or some
other amusement.
Attendance among the members was very
slim. and it was with great difficulty that
men could be found willing to be booked for
the game. The scores were as follows, with
the Burnaby Club first at the bat:
