SEA GRIT, y. J., Sept. 1.-The second
days meeting of the New Jersey State
Rifle Association was characterized by
some good shooting. The interest never
tagged throughout the entire day. The
conditions were all that could be desired,
except. possibly. the wind was little too
fresh to suit some of the riflemen. The
morning was devoted to practice, and the
shooting of the rifemen showed that they
are rapidly accustomirg themselves to the
ranges.
PENNSYLVANIA carried off the honors Of
the day. winning the Wimbledon Cup
match with eleven points to sI-@re. The
fortunate sharpshooter was William De
Van FauIkc, member Of the Philadelphia
Rifle Association. His score was 14o, and
equaled that made by Lieut. F. c. Wilson,
of Savannah. Ca, last year Faulke COM
peted in the same match last year. but did

great deal of judgment. He loaded and
cleaned his gun. and was utterly oblivious
to the compliments that were passed on
his shooting. He wanted no advice, and

ute to President Mckinley. Then there
came toasts to the host, drunk with en-
thusiasm.
When the dinner had been finished the
more serious part OF the evening was ar
ranged for. That was the ceremony in
thanksgiving for the preservation OF Alb
dull Hands life Mr. Webb lead in it. He
is still an American citizen. He was
Consul at Manila for this Government dur
ing a period of five years. His part in the
ceremony accordingly was not so much in
honor of Abdul the Sultan as Abdul the
Kalif who is head of Mohammedanism in
somewhat the same way as the Pope is
head of the Roman Catholic Church. Mr.
Webb knows all about the Turkish tongue,
and he can intone like the best of muezzins
calling the faithful TO prayer from the
minarets of the mosque.
There is no mosque in Washington, but
that was no hindrance. for, according to
Mohammed. all places may be made
equally sacred by the presence of the
true believers. So the parlors of the
legation were used for the service. The
little company bowed profoundly to the
east and then in a sonorous voice that
fioated far out into the darkness Of The
park Mr. Webb chanted the Izan-the
prayer of the faithful.
When the Ian was over the party bowed
in silent supplics ton. Each of them
offered a separate prayer of thanks that
the life of Abdul Hamid had been spared
No word was spoken.
At the conclusion. of the service the
guests gathered in the front parlor TO
extend their formal congratulations to the
Minister as Envoy OF the Sultan. Ferrouh
Bey sat in a chair beside large portrait
of Abdul Hamid. Each Of the guests,
wearing the fez, offered fluctuations to
the Minister. That concluded the formal
part of the ceremony, and the rest of the
evening was spent socially on the piazzas
OF the legation.
Many messages Of congratulation were
received during the day from Turkish
residents all over the country.
