~ NEW YORK, n. Y, July 1.-Thousands
nj people crowded along the line of march
today to watch the mammoth parade OF
the National Sehuetzenbund. Trathc was
entirely suspended while the procession
was passing. Buildings along the route were
eavly decorated withRbunting and count
less flags. At Union square the parade was
reviewed by Sheriff Hansen, the Com
+roller of the city, Jacob Rupert and other
honorary members of the bund. As the
various companies filed past the reviewing
stand the men saluted, the bands played
and colors were dipped. The reviewing
party acknowledged the salute by repeat
edly raising their hats.
The route of the parade, which was in
six divisions, was from st. Marks place,
via Broadway and Fifth avenue, to the
Thirty-fourth-stre ferry, and via Long
Island Railroad to Schuetzen Park, Glen
dale. The California SchuetZen marched
in the first division. After the parade the
flags and banners of the societies repre-
scented were placed in charge of the Newark
Bund and suitably arranged at head
quarters.
After the arrival at Glendale Park there
was a banquet and speeches from P. NJ to
ppm. When at o'clock the shooting
commenced at the target Columbia, and
the first National Schuetzenbund of the
United States was formally opened.
Judge Henry Gildersleeve, at 2:30 P. NJ.
fired the first shot at the honor target
Columbia, and President w. F. Vents, OF
the National Schuetzenbund, fired the
opening shot at the honor target Germania.
The afternoon was beautiful. The sur
geon in charge of the hospital tent was
kept fairly busy during the day, but none
of the accidents were of very serious
nature, with the exception of mishap to
John Mold, one of the warmers at the
targets, who received nasty bullet wound
from an cratic riheman, which cut a cash
along his left temple over the ear, mar
rowly missing the temporal artery.
The shooting was not a very representa-
tive quality, as the cracks were rather
sverse to shooting after the fatigue of the
long parade march and the festivities
attendant upon the opening banquet. G.
W. Plaisted of the Seattle Rifle Club made
the fine score of Y out of possible IS a.
the man target.

At the Columbia honor target H. Cordtes
Hoboken Independent r. c. made the frs
ticket, while w. c. Collins, GreenvilI
On. j. R. c., made the best score-56.
Atthe Germania honor target, Collin
was the only man to score, making tw
bullseyes. W. Rosenbaum made the frs
red flag and G. Plaisted the last of the day
The California delegation did not shoo
to-day, preferring to rest. George Heir
expressed the qualification of the Cal
fornians, the reception accorded them.
. Among the new arrivals were Capital
Farrow of the Morgantown CIV. Va) dele
cation, who was one of the American riff
team that carried all before it in Grea
Britain. Captain Farrow is going to make
great bid for Schuetzen Kenig at thi
festival. He won the title in 1873 an
: again in 1888. The Philadelphia contir
gent, sixty strong, were on the ground
to-day. The shooting at the honor large
