MAKING ANCHORS.
A Little Maine Town Where Nearly
All of Them Are Forged.
New YORK sun


THE little town of Camden, Me-, ought
to have its name changed to Hope," said a
dealer in ship supplies and stores. "for it
turns out more of the en- blems OF hope than
all the other places in this country COM
bined. All of the stately ships that como
out of the Maine shipyards look to that
little village on the Penobscot for their
anchors. Scores of sturdy smiths swing
their hammers day after day all the year
long in the black, smoky, long, low Camden
shops, where only anchors are forged.
Sometimes the triphammers are going all
night about the FORCES, and the blazing Of
fires and the ring of the hammers are seen
and heard for miles away. Thousands Of
tons of old iron are purchased by these
queer establishments every year, for anchors
are forged largely from cast-off iron.
The material is cut into small pieces by
great shears that clip through the iron as
easily as cheese knife slices a cheese. The
pieces are bound into bundles by strong
wires, and are then fused IN the FORCES.
Then they are pounded and welded into the
various parts of the anchor, some w0rkmen
fashiuning the rings, others shaping the
fukes, others hammering out the palms,
and others forging the shanks. Then the
'completers' take the different parts and fuse
aud weld them into the finished anchor
Anchors OF all sizes aud weights are turned
out from the noisy shops of Camden, the
graceful little pleasure-boat anchor, weigh
lug but few pounds, as we'll as the great
90 600 aud 70, 000- pound anchors of the biggest
ships.
There are many interesting relics at
Camden in the line of rusty and broken
anchors that did duty in their day Oh famous
merchant vessels, historic warships, and
sturdy whalers. What is lett OK the anchor
of the United States frigate Cum berland is
among these relics"

ROUND TARGETS.
A Shooting Club Discards the Old
Firing Regulations.

A Shooting Club Discards the Old
Firing Regulations.
The Schuetzen Section Of the San Fran
cisco Turn Verein at its meeting last night
decided TO abandon the old system of shoot
ing and in the future TO regulate its contests
by the latest and most approved methods Of
target practice. The shooting section
agreed TO adopt the new firing regulations
that prevail in the United States army.
Under the old system the target was square.
Under the new tactics it is oval. There are
also many technical differences in the man
ner of shooting. loading of gun, position
and method of counting.
The action of the Sehuetzen Section of
the San Francisco Turn Verein marks an
important era in the history of markSman-
ship on the coast. Its marksmen take the
highest rank in the world, as proved by the
laureis won at CTeedmOor in 1876, and more
recently at the international contest at
Berlin. Other German clubs are also likely
to 60 in for modern target practice and
abandon the old firing regulations. which
they cling to more from custom than any
thing else.
The new firing regulations of the San
Francisco Vereln will 90 into effect immedi-
ately and will govern all the contests for
this season.
