DICK HEISE Is
THE EAGLE KING
WINS THE SCHUETZEN ANNUAL
SHOOT AT SHELL MOUND.
This Is the Second Time That the Ac-
curate Marksman Has Succeeded
in Hitting the Magic
Spot.

The annual eagle shoot and May fes-
tival of the San Francisco Scheutzen We
rein was brought to a close yesterday
afternoon at Shell Mound Park The af-
fair. which was the fortieth one held by
ne verein, was perhaps the most enjoy
BILE and successful of all the previous
vents. Fully thousand people thronged
The grounds and made merry all day.
While the members of the verein We're out
on the racecourse making their scores,
their wives and sweethearts whiled away
the hours dancing in the spacious pavilion.
T d. Heise, one of the best known
marksmen in the State, was crowned king
of the festival after fully two hours of
shooting Out of one hundred competi-
tors Heise was the first to knock the
wooden eagle from its perch on pole sew
enty-fve feet high. The shooting was
done at $50 yards. When Heise succeeded
in hitting the lucky spot that sent the
eagle shooting groundward a cheer was
sent up that could be heard for miles
around Heise was mounted on an impro-
Vised throne and his wife was soon at his
sid. In front of the aSsemblage or adj
niring friends and marksmen he implant-
ed a sweet kiss on his wife's lips, much to
the amusement of the crowd.
Then the members of the verein hoist

and into the dancing pavilion, where he

damsels. presented Hese with wreath
of roses. and he then responded with
neat little speech that brought forth more
cheers.
Heise was crowned king of the last an
nual eagle shoot, which was held at the
same park on May 16 of last year. He is
one of the best marksmen in the country
After the last eagle shoot He Use made "a a
tour of the Eastern cities ana Europe, de-
feafing ali corners at target shooting.
Previous to the main event the mem
bers of the verein shot at the eagle to
dismember it. The degree of accuracy
was measured by the different portions
of the dummy eagle, the crown being the
highest objective point ana the lelt claw
the lowest Following was the way the
members scored:
The crown, George Heyden; the apple.
J. M Hartmann; the scepter, j. c. Wal
Ter; the ring John Teidermann; the head,
All Barner the right wing. Charles Rapp;
the left wing, r. Stattine; the right leg,

Great In Speed, Appetite and Power
of Abstinence.

Great In Speed, Appetite and Power
of Abstinence.
Easily first to oceanic birds in point Of
interest as well as size comes the lordly
albatross, whose home is far south OF
the line and whose empire Is that illimit
able area Of turbulent waves which
sweep rcsistless around the world. Com
pared with his power Of vision (sailora
give all things except slip the epicene
gender "he') the piercing gaze Of the
eagle or condor becomes lnyopic unless,
as indeed may be the case, he possesses
other senses unknown to us by means of
which he Is made aware Of passing events
interesting to him at incredible distances
from them. Out Of the blue void he
comes unhasting on mOtionless pilfions,
yet at such speed that, one moment q
speck hardly discernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
around he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing in nature conveys to the
mind so wonderful an idea Of effortless
velocity rs does his calm appearance
from vacancy. Like most of the true
pelagic birds, he is n devourer Of offal,
the successful pursuit Of fish being i'm
possible to his llnj estic evolutions.
His appetite Is enormous, but his pow
crs Of abstinence are equally great, and
often for days he goes without other
nourishmcnt than a drink Of the bitter
sea. At the Gargantunn banqucts, pro.
yidcd by the carcass of a dead whale, he
will gorge himself until Incapable Of ris-
ing from the sea, yet still his angry
scream may he heard, rs if protesting
against his ability to find room for more
provision against hungry days soon to
follow. Despite his incompatible grace
of flight when gliding through midair
with his mighty wings outspread, when
ashore or on deck he is clumsy and ill at
case. Even seated upon the sea, his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while his huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to he upheld. On land he can
hardly balance himself. and the broad,
silky webs OF his feet soon become LAGER
atcd. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally In accessible rocks. which are
his breeding places, orc rs brief as may
be, since even cunjucnl delights are dear

straint. A true child Of the air, land is
hateful to him, and only on the wing does
he appear to be really at home and ease
