Second' Day. j Tbe Schutzenplatz yesterday morning afford? ed a sight beauttful to behold. The light morn? ing shower was just sufficient to lay the dust aa J add brilliancy to the grassy lawn and to the dark foliage or the large forest trees. Through the vis? ta of pine and oak trees could oe seea the innu? merable partl-colored flags waviug in the breeze, and giving lire to the scene. On the right, Just within the gate, ls HL- enclosure for vehicles and horses, and on the lett a neat garden, enclosed with a fence, and offering a shady retreat in its covered arbors for the weary visitor. Fronting the gate stands the main building, alive with men, women and children, and decorated In every pos? sible parr with evergreens and flags of every color and size. In its upper story is TUE GRAND BALL-BOOST. of Immense size. In which the votaries of the dance are busy throughout the day. Throned upon a stage at one end of-the hall, Muller's band overlook the throng beluw, and pour forth a continuous flood of fascinating melody. Innu? merable couples, float along to the measured time, and the numbers seem never to grow less. The dancing!." not confined to'the misses, either, and many a gentle matron recalis the memories of her girlhood with an old-time dance. Everybody dances; and doe3 it well. The hall is beautifully decorated with flogs and eclored paper illumina? tors, and on the outside or the balustrade of the front piazza are two sch?tzen, graphically drawn, with a target between, and the words "Welcome, "welcome." beneath, beneath the piazza, on the ground floor of th? main building, are the TEN-PIN' ALLETa, which are popular and always" well patronized. The Germans are as go .ul at this sport as at shooting, and the precision with which the huge balts go thundering along the'narr?wallry 1? wonderful. Adjoining the alleys are the capacious bar, kept by Mr. N. Fehreubach, the den?.sit room and the committee room. On either sk-cofthe grounds are two LOS? ROWS OK BOOTHS, where the fantastic signs iurorm the observer that lager, soda, ice cte ?m. cigars, cakes, AC, ate to be had. Each booth is ar. Immense wall tent, hung with banners, and displaying the German colors tn every way. The heavy rain wbicii came np about noon made these canvas houses a little damp, and brought tire numerous customers un? der their folds lu a run to the more substantial shelter ol the buildings. Notwithstanding this ill natured attempt of old Aquarius to' drown out the festivities, the various OUTDOOR AMUSEMENTS were kept up at intervals. In addition to the pole climbing, elgar-smoking, ino'.asscs-dlppiiig. plauk walking^and bucket-tilting, there was an extem? poraneous monkey produced. This animal was, in fact, a muscular Fifteenth amendment nu ?red in a close-fitting suit of brown cloth, ami with his face concealed by a hideous mask. This uncouth object was placed in an ice cream wagon and dragged around thc grounds by the urchin crowd with continuous shouts and yells and mu? sic from an itlneraut string band. Jocko per? formed several feats which would have beencre ditf/Sle to a real monkey, the most remarkable of which was the fortitude with which he bore the sharp applications cf the rattan by his h?avy handed keep? r. The committee on' amusements understand their business, and know how to keep a crowd in a good humor. Their task is full of dlfllculty and vexation, but they have succeeded admirably. For an hour and more the rain poured, but the shooting boxes were under shel- 1 ter, and the STEADY FIRE OF TUE RIFLES r ever for a momeut slackened. The riflemen in g een had settled to the work In earnest, and the 1 curtest wa3 becoming more excited each hoar. 1 The red flags were teen continually popping up ' at the target, aud the centre shots were number? ed by the score. One member or the German Glob knew how to shoot, au i, at the sharp crack of his beautiful globe-slgiited rifle, the red flag j Invariably announce! that the bullet hud gone through the bull's eye. The targets worked ad? mirably from the time the first shot was tired, ^ and, when the hour for closing came, there was not one but wat ready for the next day's shoot? ing. The excitement or the day, however, was the , SHOOTING AT THE EAGLE, which had thus tar remained untouched upen it? lofty perch. The members of the German P.me Club alone were privileged to tire ut ? his bird, and | i ach member came forward and took hts shot as , lila name was called. The shooting was good, ( and the bini soon began to show signs of dis. tress. Early in the : ii toting the right wlug was , knocked off, but the marksman having named another part of the bird a-his aim the shot.did ? not count. The flring'waa kept un steadily until 4 o'clock, at which time the following portions of the eagle were sho* away : The crown, by 0. Mou? sing: the head, by ll. F. Bonncmann; rho sceptre, . by J. Mousers, and the imperial globe, by IV. , Fisher. The . ? ANNOUNCEMENT ! was made by tlie secretary ihat ali of the prizes presented by,the vl-;tii.g riflemen from the North and this citv, consisting of a line gold watch fr. ?11 the Brooklyn ScliuiZeu Corps, a massive silver | goblet from the Charleston, aud a like ?me f oin . the Adger Rifle Club, will b* contended for on the target or honor. Thc tim'* for taking'he single ', shot at this tai get will be bet ween the hours ol HA, M. and 2 P. M., on Wednesday and Thursday, and . rrom ll A. M. until I P. M. on Friday. Owing to the disagreeable weather THE VISITORS were not numerous in the morning and early part of the afternoon. A little later, however, the grounds glistening under the slautiug rays of the declining sun, were covered with gay Hu ongs who spent a pleasant time during th?1 latter part of thc second day ortho Germ in festival.
