Throughout all ages and especially to
ward the end of the last century the sharp
shooters have enacted a very important;
and momentous part in the fortunes, and
varying events of nations. .•
A comparatively small nation of moun
taineers, noted for their prowess and the
accurate aim of its citizens, has maintained
its independence through -centuries against
the aggressions and onslaughts of. the com
bined armies of the mighty nations of the
earth, which encircles its mountainous
republic. Safe and securely may dwell
a people whose homes and boundaries are
guarded by men of steady arm and aim, a
nation that fosters the practic>»pf Its de
fense with the trusty rifle. In thfrsdefense
of home and fireside, of personal and na
tional honor and Integrity, one handful of
sharpshooters Is worth more than whole
armies of Invaders.
Thus flourish the shooting iruilds in
Geimany and In Switzerland, and thus
cherish and perpetuate the brave men of,
thess countries the practice, I may say,'
the noble pursuit, wherever they have
pitched their tents or made new homes.-
This thought leads me to a retrospect of
the history of owe beloved adopted coun
try, which owes much to the hero war
riors from the old fatherland. An irresist
ible, passionate yearning after freedom and
equal" rlehts of citizenship drove many of
the bravest and best men from the old
sod across the broad expanse of the ocean
to this land of liberty and of promise.
Unmindful of hardships, dangers or perils
of the sea or land, they came to build new
homes for themselves and for posterity.
In this respect it may be truthfully said
that Germany has eiven America invalu-

the sharpshooter endures for all times. A
just pride swells my breast— the memory of
the brave, noble and heroic deeds of our
ancestors, their self-sacrificing' love of
country and home, their utter> disregard
of peril and their contempt ! for death — it
is their example we strive to imitate. We
may be pardoned for feeling proud of be
longing to the great fraternity of sharp
shooters, because It requires a' stout heart,
a firm hand, unerring eye: in. fact, these
attributes are Indispensable to a sharpshoot

a frugal, proper and moral life, free from
excesses of any kind.
Well, California to-day welcomes her
guests to the feast. From the day the cheer
ing news was flashed across the continent
that California had been chosen as the fes
tival place, we have endeavored to make
it a success. Whether we have accomplished
California was well and worthily, if not
largely, represented at the former two fes
tivals held in New York. Our gallant little
band of veteran riflemen and stalwart Call-"
fornia youths who represented their native
State returned crowned with glory and la
den with medals and trophies. Our dele
gates were overwhelmed, with kindness and
"attention while in the East; every home and
heart was open to Califcsrnia's favored sons.
It was only natural that our delegates be
came imbued with an ardent desire to re
ciprocate at their own gates. They soon
started a propaganda to get the third Bun
desfest to California. Eastern shooters
smiled good-naturedly at what they consid
ered an absurd proposition, to induce rifle
men to make the Journey from -one end of
the continent to the other, and expressed .
the gravest doubt over the success of such
an undertaking. The California boys were
undismayed, making converts for their
cause on all sides, persuading their Eastern
brethern that a trip to America's paradise
on the Pacific was the proper caper for
every sharpshooter, and the prizes that Cal
ifornia would offer should alone make It j
worth the while to travel thousands of
miles.
May Nation and Bund Prosper.
Upon yonder shore of the Atlantic the
Bund consists of the clubs and guilds from
Baden, Bavaria, Saxony, Hessia, Prussia,
Hanover, the Rhine lands, Switzerland, the
Tyrol and adjacent countries. On this side
of the ocean the fraternal Bund was com
posed of the societies of New York, New

• ' First Bundesfest. - . -
The beneficent .results of the first Bundes
~ fest astonished even its most sanguine ad
vocates and promoters. ' The • participation,
of nearly all the crack shots of Europe .was
- beyond anticipation. .* A new; ambition was
awakened; men practiced assiduously to
"¦win honors and trophies of such magnitude
as to tempt the best of them. Each con
secutive Bundesfest was attended with
. greater success than the preceding one. and
i the large, cities of . Germany and Switz
erland put forth their greatest efforts, to se
; ';¦ cure "the- Bundesfest. Our German-Ameri
cans who had visited the various festivals
brought the idea back to this country,' and
laid' the foundation for a National Shoot
' ing Bund of the United States. The first
Bundesfest on this side of the Atlantic was
held In New York in 1833, and proved a most j
glorious success. Three years later the «ec
ond festival, also held in New York,, was
successful only in a measure, because many
fs of the best marksmen were at the time en
gaged In more serious work — they were
fighting with our army and navy in Cuba
and in the Philippines, where the country
needed their services.
I crave your indulgence in picturing as
briefly as possible the history of shooting
and the origin of the National Bund. Tar
get-shooting, from its early and primitive
stages, has ever been fostered and cher
ished more than elsewhere in Germany and
In Switzerland, and shooting festivals had
their birth with the patriots of those
countries, which have given us and all the
world for centuries past the 'greatest and
noblest patriots and heroes, whose memories
are cherished by the entire human . race.
Those noble, high-minded, brave men have
transplanted the love for the chase and the
art of guarding and protecting homes and
firesides across the Atlantic and to the ex
treme end of the continent,, and it was
perpetuated by their descendants. Gener
ations have come upon the earth and have
vanished since, but the noble practice of
Over the mountains and through valleys,
across mighty streams and from beyond the
sea, many of you have come to glorify this
festival — and to you especially, and
in the name of the National . Fed

fraternal welcome to our feast here
in this enchanting jsarden, ¦where the
best men of this great nation will vie
with one another to reach the center mark,
here by the Golden Gate of the Pacific. Mine
is the honor, mine the rare good fortune
to ereet you who compose this distinguished
assemblage. This day is dedicated to the
revival of the time-honored custom of the
land of our birth or of our ancestors, made
more glorious by the filial affection which
binds us with stronKer ties to the land of
our choice, Columbia, the land of the free,
the home of the brave.
May the surest shot secure the hero's ban
ner or the kingly crown, but I only hope
that each and every one of you will feel
amply rewarded in this festival for the sac

successful voyage through the whirlpool
rapids in a barrel. The start was made
from the Maid of the Mist landing be
low the falls. The barrel was caught in
an eddy and circled about a little above
the cantilever bridge for a quarter of an
hour. The stronger current In the mid
dle of the stream finally jerked It out of
the eddy Into the foaming waters of the
rapids. >iVi \ .
Passing under the second bridge the
barrel had a narrow escape from being
dashed to pieces against the stone abut
ments of the bridge. The passage
through the rapids was swift. It took the
barrel five minutes . to reach the eddy
from the starting point and twenty min-.
utes to get out of It, but it took only
three and a half minues to pass through
the rapids and the whirlpool, a distance
of about a mile." ' • • • ¦-*,.¦¦

and a cheering which lasted for some
few minutes. Grand Marshal WIeneka

another burst of applause. Marshal "Wle
