NEW YORK, July 2-This was Volks-
fest Day at the mammoth tournament OF
the National Sharpshooters at Glendale
Park, Long Island, which presented an
animated picture. The list of mishaps
was trivial until this evening. when a
man named John Bauman Of this city
was brought in suffering from the effects
Of bullet wound in the right chest. 1t
appears that he was standing near one OF
the shooting galleries. when an unknown
man took up one of the airguns, which
went off. It is not thought that the
wound will prove fatal.
All the targets are now in use. The first
red flag (bulps-eye) to-day was made by
William Raab, Independence Rife Club.
New York. and the last fell to +. Blon-
dau of San Francisco. G. +. Gench, In
dependence Rifle Club of New York,
made the best score up to the present at
the Honor target. Colum bia, making .
total of 63-deflectiuns %, 20. II.
A. NJ. Pape of the Columbia Rifle Club
of San Francisco, make 93 out of q possi-
BILE 100 ct the man target, and with +. C..
Ross is high on the next standard, with
the fine score of AZ out of q possible so.
A. Strecker. another of the California
cracks, made 1O7 straight bulrs-eyes
toward his Koenig prize. He missed his
l0Sth. but went to his l46 without 8
break, but missed this and followed on
to l57. securing gold medal, when his
cartridges gave out, and lie had to stop.
He is about the only man entered who
uses muzzle-loading gun, and this, he
says, rather tells against him, as he, of
course, cannot clean his gun as frequently
as those who use breech-loaders. He
speaks in glowing terms of his reception
and that Of his associates, and is much
pleased with all arrangements.
Another Californian who was an inter-
esting figure during the day was Will
lam Ehrenpfort OF the San Francisco
Scheutzen Verein, who is over 90, but
who shot with the ardor of the boy. and
as he himself puts it. ''made centers all
over the world"
