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- Sharpshooters in History. 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 er, and to possess them is aW Indication of 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 Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Cali fornia and other States of the Union. federation for the general advancement of . the practice. . > . . / — -• _••- ¦ • ' 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 eration, I want to offer a most cordial and 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 rifices you have made in a long journey or a short one to convey to us the real, true greeting of the riflemen, the essence of cordiality. Fraternal Welcome Extended. sire to make this festival one to be remem bered by riflemen for all time. Soul-inspiring and lofty is the ideal of the origin of the practice, which heretofore hag been a sort of an enigma to our fellow citizens of other than German birth or ex traction, but it shall no longer remain a riddle to them.
