NATIONAL sCHUETzEN FEST.
Scores Made by Crack Mnrksmen in

the Great Contest.
NEW YORK, July 2.-There was another
large crowd to-day at the National
Schuetzen Fest, in Schuetzen Park at Glen
dale. Long island. The target shooting was
the main attraction. Much interest was
manifested in the Philadelphia Schuetzen
Verein, who numbered about seventy-five
men, and who began shooting to-day.
Among The cracks who tried their skill at
craftsmanship to-day was w. Milton Far
row. who was q member of the famous
American team which defeated foreign rifle
men at Creedmoor and in England. Far
row while abroad was presented with a
handsome cup by the Prince Of Wales. He
also won the Kings medal at the first
Schuetzen Fest in Union HILL
There was some excellent craftsmanship
exhibited during the forenoon and il looked
at one time as If A. II. Pape of San Fran
cisco, who only began to shoot this morn
ing. would get the possible fifty at the
standard target. He got four centers. which
counted forty, but on the fifth and last try
he only scored seven, making a total of
forty-seven. Shortly afterwards, F. c. Ross,
of Brooklyn, succeeded in equaling this
score and they were the highest of the day
in that event. The ties at the end of this
contest will have to be decided by. the next
best card as the men can buy as many
cards as they desire. Pape also made nine
ty-three out of possible one hundred at
the man target. but Pope. of Hartford. and
Borrter, of Greenville, n. j., scored ninety
five and ninety-four, respectively. AT the
ring target, f. c. Ross, of Brooklyn. had
seventy-two marked up to his name out of
York, secured the first red flag and A.
Bloodeau, of San Francisco, the last one
of the day for making the first and last
bulls-eyes.
During the afternoon the shooters were
continually arriving and buying tickets for
the several contests. The majority of them
for the point target, which contest will
eventually decide the winner of the King S
gold medal. 1t is in this event the winner
medal and by scoring three hundred he
will get silver festival cup and two
medals. The persons who make the great
dred shots will be declared the winner of
the Kings gold medal. Adolph Strecker,
from the Golden Gate, has his eye on this
trophy. When he left off shooting this aft
ernoon he had fired 157 shots and only
missed the "black" twice.
1t was impossible to get the scores. in

well as FIVE silver festival cups, had been
