THE GERMAN JUBILEE. <
&ES1SG OF THE. SCHVTZENEES.T.
The Procession-Receiving the Vitt?
tor?-The Grounds and Amusements
Fan and Frolic.
The sun rose bright and clear yesterday
morning upon the first day of the Sch?tzen?
fest-tbat great annual festival to which our
German Irlends look lorward for months
with pleasant, eager expectation, and into
the enjoyment of which, when it arrives, they
enter with all the vim and blitheness of j
their nature. The Germans are commonly j
considered a phlegmatic people, and so they
are in their business matters and in the affairs
ol eTery-day life. They are philosophical,
coo), practical; they are frugal, plodding and
industrious, and lt is precisely these qualities
that make them the thrifty, provident, pow?
erful nation that they are at home, and the j
good citizens, neighbors, husbands and
fathers that they are abroad. But If the
German ls a reflective biped, he ls j
.also a gregarious and eminently
clal creature, and he enters into the amuse?
ments which he is careful to provide with
degree of enthusiasm that shames the blas? in?
difference of most Americans. The Germans
are also an eminently patriotic people, and so
it is that, in their residence in America, while
they are sufficiently cosmopolitan to appreci?
ate our Institutions and to constitute a mest
admirable class of our adopted citizens,
they still retain their own national Individuali?
ty, and import or transplant, to a larger ex
tentptban any other class of Immigrants, their'
national customs, and especially their nation?
al amusements. This is not unnatural. There
are few countries so rich in traditionary lore
as Germany, and our German friends, how?
ever permanently established here, still din?
with lond tenacity to the legends'of Vaterland
and to those national amusements which em?
body, and have grown out of, those traditions.
Of these amusements the annual shooting
festivals have always been among the most J
popular. They have always been liberally en?
couraged by the government In the old coun?
try from sound motives of policy, and they
have been brought to America with the other
customs of the.Vaterland, and regularly ob
served "in every city where the number of |
German citizens has been sufficient to organ?
ize a rifle club and arrange the festival. In
Charleston, with Us large and thrifty German
population, the Sch?tzenfest ls always a great
occasion, participated in by everybody and by
everybody's wife and children, for lt must be
understood that the German, in all his amuse?
ments, has a place in bis heart and another at
his side for his wife and babies. He does not
roam away from bis family to And his plea?
sure, bat carries his family with bim, and
Ands an added zest to his enjoyment in the
homelike influence that their presence causes.
OPENING THE FESTIVAL.
At Biz o'clock in the morning the deep
booming of the guns was heard from the
Citadel Green, and throughout the city the
distant echoes announced to all that the festi?
val had begun. On every side the busy hum
of preparation was heard, and the wearers of I
green coats and plumes began to hurry [
through the streets to the place of rendezvous.
As Boon aa the riflemen had assembled in
sufficient numbers a detachment, accompa?
nied by Beck's Brass Band, was sent to the
depot of the Savannah and Charleston Rill
road to await the arrival of the Savannah
Sch?tzen. These reached the city at half-past
Bevon o'clock, and were escorted, with the
German colors flying, to the sound of martial
music, up to LIndstedt's Hall. Here the visi?
tors were welcomed by their hosts, and par?
took of some refreshments before entering
upon the parade.
A detachment of the German Rifle Club,
twelve in number, with the Post Band from
the Citadel, had been sent down to the corner
of East Bay and Broad street', where the
Carolina Rifle Club assembled, and the latter
were escorted up to the general rendezvous
and took their places In the line on Calhoun
street. The clubs being now In readiness,
THE PROCESSION
was formed In Calhoun Btreet, with the right
resting on Meeting street. The Une counter?
marched In Calhoun street, and moved off |
with measured tread down King street to
East Bay. Along the line of march on every
Bide floated the United States and German
colors, and the sidewalks were lined with
crowds of spectators, hundreds of whom *.:ept
abreast o? the procession. The windows upon
the streets were all tenanted by the owiiers of |
lair ?aces and merry eyes, and anon a falling
bouquet "of flowers would disturb fie reveries
of some gallant riflemen as he march 4 along,
watching the heels of his preceding comrade
and Intent upon keeping step Down King to
Broad, through Broad-with all the clerks and
business men at the doors and windows,
leaving ledgers and journals, to look for a
moment upon rifles and gay uniforms-to East
Bay, where the experience of Broad street
was renewed. Up East Bay and through
Market swept the gallant array, with their
bands of music, to Meeting street. Here the
procession opened ranks, and emerging from
the heat and dust of Market street, the rifle?
men stepped out briskly as they passed over
the well-watered pavement of Meeting street,
in front of the Charleston Hotel. At the head
marched
THE TARGET-POINTERS,
eight in number, clad in dark pants and red
shirts, and wearing black Scotch caps, with a
red rosette over the right eye. They stand
behind the shields in front of the target, and
with their white staves, point out where the
bullet hits. They were followed by a wagon,
in which were five members of the German
Rifle Citio, bearing
THE EAGLE.
The bird ls made of tough wood, and weighs
about thirty pounds. It is composed o? differ- ?
ent pieces, firmly screwed together, and is
doomed to certain immolation. It ls shot at i
daily*, and each one who knocks away one of j
its parts is entitled to a prize. The last part
remaining on the pole, usually the body, re?
quires much drilling to detach it, and who?
ever brings It down ls the king for the next
year. Next In order came Beck's brass band
o? eleven pieces, discoursing melodious
strain?. The band has Improved wonderfully
since the last Schulzenfest, and is now one of |
the most popular and skilled of the city bands.
They were closely followed by the
GOARS OF HONOR
bearing the six chassepot rifles, with glisten?
ing sabre bayonets, presented to the club by
Emperor William. The guard were a splendid
looking set of men, selected for their size and
bearing, and consisted of Messrs. A. Jager, J.
Klatte, J. M. Petersen, L. Kramer, G. Loge
mann and W. Mollenhauer, under the com?
mand of Director H. Ktatte. After these

of old soldiers, they made a notable an

General John A. Wagener, were founders
the Sch?tzen Gesellschaft. The corps has t
five honorary members-the three abo
named, and Mayor Wagener and King ti
Ham, of Germany, who could not spare t
lime to be present at the parade. Next
these marched
THE POST BAND
from the Citadel, in lull dress uniform, wi
fourteen pieces, under the direction of Prof
sor Beerwah. Securing the services of tl
band for the parade was a happy thought
the German R ile Club, and added essenlla
to the show of the day. Their performance
"Die Wacht am Rhein," while the riflera
were assembling in the morning, was univ?
sally praised, and the measured cadence
their inspiring strains while on the para
elicited the highest encomiums from all wi
heard them. The small people were also hug
ly delighted with the grenadier drum-maj
who marched in Iront with a tremendous gi!
knobbed stick, with which he marked the tin
and directed the movements of the band. Tl
gorgeous get-up of this functionary, and h
striking tout-ensemble, suggested the periine
question to several of the darkles presen
whether that was General Grant ? The bat
were fellowed by
THE GERMAN RIFLE CLUB,
in their well-known uniform, consisting i
dark pants, green blouses, trimmed wli
black, and black felt hats looped up with la
perla! cockades of red, white and black, an
adorned with green plumes. The club turne
out strong, and paraded over one hundred an
forty men, which, with those detached t
guards of honor, escorts, &c., made up a nant
some turnout of over one hundred and sever
ty-flve men on the ground. They marche
well, and formed the main part of the proc?s
sion. The officers of the club are: A. Melcher!

H. Petermano, treasurer; R. Issertel, seer?
tary; F. Ansel, target-master; James Simone

dressed in fancy costume, brought up th?
rear of the procession in au open carriage
In this order the array moved up King stree
in gallant style, and filing Into Ann street tool
the train for the Schutzenplaiz.
TUE ARRIVAL AT THE PLATZ
was announced by a salute of twelve guns
which boomed forth a welcome as the ri flo
men descended from the train, and formed OE
the green at the end of the avenue. The]
then marched up to the Platz, and entering
the gateway, covered with welcoming mot?
toes, they formed a hollow square around the
speaker's stand. On ihe platform had been
placed the canopy from Hie triumphal wagon,
and the little girls had &ho taken their place
upon lt. The officers ol' the three clubs mount?
ed the platform, followed by the band, and
President Melchers then gave all and every
one a hearty welcome to the festival.
TUE WELCOME.
President Melchers said :
Countrymen and Brother Sch?tzen-To make
long speeches I do not consider the object of
the Sch?tzenfest; we are assembled here
rather, under the free air of heaveD, to enjoy
life, as we were wont to do In the dear old
Fatherland; and lt is one of the most praise?
worthy peculiarities of the German that,
wheresoever he may choose his new home, he
holds fast to all the dear old customs, and en?
deavors to promote German good humor and
.cheerfulness. Rut I must not omit to bid you
all a most cordial welcome in behalf of the
Sch?tzen Gesellschaft, and I can assure you
that we shall make every effort to make this
Fest pleasant to all our guests.
Addressing the Savannah Schulzen, he said:
To our brother Schtrzen of Savannah I tender
our heartfelt gratitude for their kind accep?
tance of our invitation, and I hope that ihe
bond of friendship may unite our societies
closer and stronger with every year.
To the Carolina Rifle Club, In English, Cap?
tain Melchers said: To our old friends, the
Carolinas, I will not say much. We have
known each other for years. This ls the third
time you have honored our festival with your
preseuce, and when I say Uiat the German
Rifle Club tender lo you a most hearty wel?
come, I must acknowledge that this welcome
comes lrom the bottom of our hearts. And
I hope and trust that the feeling of friendship
and esteem, now existing between the Caroli?
na Rifle Club and tue Gerinau Rifle Club, will
last for all times to come.
Then (urning to the German S:hutzen he
said: Now a word to you, my brother
sch?tzen. L -l each one of vou try to contris

each one of you being to see to the' co

In response the Carolinas gave three c
for the German Rifle Club, which the
answered with three similar complin
and three additional ones for the Savt
Sch?tzen.
THE PRESENTATIONS.
President Harker, of the Carolinas,
came forward and presented to Captaii
chers a handsome Bword, to be worn t
president of the Sch?tzen Gesellschaft
making the presentation President B
begged that it might be accepted as a poe
pression of the warm feelings entertain'
the Carolina Club for the German Schutz?
President Melchers received the sword

PREPARING FOR ACTION.
President Melchers returned suitable thai
for the handsome present, and invited
clubs to partake of a collation, for which til
long march and the subsequent spee
making had doubtless given them an appet!
The motion was carried unanimously, and I
whole array were soon seated beneath :
shed at the end ol tho grounds discussing
substantial lunch, varied by foaming glas
of lager from the casks which were broad
near by. At the conclusion of the lum
President Melchers gave the health of th
honorary member, Emperor William. 1
toast wa3 responded to with cheers and dru
standing.
THE FUN BEGINS.
When the riflemen rose from the table t
formal parade was over, and the men sci
tered themselves about the spacious grounc
Crowds made for the shooting bootb, ai
soon the sharp cracking of the rifles formed
refrain to the muslo of the bands. The c
shots put aside the light single-barrel gun
and other shooting instruments "wisely ke
for show," and took their Improved rifles
begin the business of the day. Great Is ll
rivalry In progress, and the motions of ti
crack shots are watched with interest. Bo
have heavy rifles ol great value, and, as ll
smoke clears irom the muzzle of their gut
it ls strange but that the red flag of the targe
pointer does not announce a bullet throuj
the white. At the close of the day one
these marksmen had borne off thirty-five ce
tre tickets, and the other only three less.
THE SHOOTING BOOTH
or shed contains fourteen stalls, ten lor tt
use of the club and four for the public. Thei
are also fourteen targets each ol which ls co:
nected with Its corresponding stall by a wit
and bell pull. The targets are a fractlc
under two hundrnd yards distant, are abor
three feet square, and are made of wbli
canvass, with a large black circle in tt
centre surrounding the white bull's-eye, whlc
is tour laches In diameter. Each stall
furnished with a strong, upright post, wit
trans?me pieces running through lt at diffei
ent heights, and forming a steady and admin
ble rest for the rifles. When a rifleman he
discharged his weapon he pulls the bell wir
at his right hand. The man at the target
who with his neighbors, ls protected by a
embankment of sand three feet thick, rt
?ponds by pointing with bis marker (a whit
stick with a circular black head) to the polo
struck. -The target descends, a patch is pu
upon the bullet-hole, another target mean
while ascending to prevent delay; and so th
shooting goes on. Every marksman receive
a slip of pasteboard marked "centrum" fo
each shot in the bull's-eye, and at the close o
the fest the record is made up by countloj
these certificates.
THE EAGLE SHOOTING
will begin to-day, the order ol shooting at tin
bird having been Used by drawing yesterday
The bird was not placed in position, but wa1
reserved on exhibition, and will be mountet
upon his unenviable elevation, on the top o
the mast, this morning. While the riflemer.
are busy at the amusement of the day,
THE CROWD
has been gradually increasing until the ground:
are covered with old gentlemen and ladies
beaux and belles, and boys and girls, who pas:
and repasa under the trees and among thc
boolbs, Intent upon their various amusement a
Throughout the day, at intervals ol an hour,
the hissing and snorting ot engines, followed
by diabolical screeches, announced the arrival
of the trains on the South Carolina Railroad,
and directly a long line of panting visitors
would be seen coming up the avenue from the
cars. Mr. Oates's omnibuses, and vehicles ol
every description, drawn by nondescript ani?
mals that would have graced the yard of a
soap factory, kept plying between Line street
and the gale of the Platz, and were constantly
discharging their living freight. The weather
was dry, the Bhell road was covered with an
impalpable dust, and these travellers "on
pleasure bent," as they entered the Platz, pre?
sented a ghostly appearance in their white
mantles of lime. Other visitors took the
Mount Pleasant boats, and laughed at the
lime and dust only to lind themselves victim?
ized by the bloodthirsty assaults of innumera?
ble sandales. These minor inconveniences,
however, only added a keener enjoyment to
the pleasures of the Fest, which soon made
the visitor forget his past ills. To describe the
appearance ot
THE GROUNDS
in detail would be almost impossible. To the
the visitor entering at the gate the spectacle
is no less picturesque than beautiful. In the
centre ot the scene, and partly screened by
the tall pines, stands the main building, the
upper story of which Is one huge dancing
hall, with a long piazzj ai the front and rear,
the lower story being used by the ladies, and
contains the hat-room, committee-room and
the grand bar. On thc left of this building
are nine spacious booths, which are about
forty by twenty feet In size. They have sub?
stantial floors, shingle sheds, and are open at
the sides. The fronts are adorned with fila?
gree work, flags, Ac. The various tenants of
the booths have turnlshed them neatly, and
; spread out their wares in attractiye styles, j
On the right of the maia baildiog are several
more booths flited up in a similar manner,
and on the grounds In iront are th? two re?
volving carousals, with their fiery steeds,
the living head fresh from the guillotine of
the Parisian Communists, and other wonders
more startling than probable. To the rear of |
the main building is the grand bowling saloon
with four new alleys, adown which the balls
roll unceasingly with a noise like distant ?
thunder. Still further on is the target mas?
ter's office in the cottage building where the
keeper of the Platz stays, and on the point ol
land in the rear ol' this ls the grand dining
falcon and the air-gun gallery. The visitor is
at once attracled to
THE DANCING HALL,
where the votaries of Terpsichore, through?
out the day, are paying their devoirs to ike
"muse of the many twinkling ?feet." The
delicious Btrains and admirable cadences of j
the Post Band float through the hall from the
lofty stand, and scores of men, women and
children are gliding through the mazes of the
dance ?villi an animated gaiety and thorough
I enjoyment which are contagious. At times
' the couples stop, and the fresh breezes from
over the broad Ashley sweep, through the
piazza windows, and softly fan the flushed
cheek of many a radiant-belle. Leaving this
joyous scene,
THE OUT DOOR AMUSEMENTS
at once arrest the attention, A lofty mast,
smooth as glass, and well soaped and greased,
is surrounded by a crowd of urchins. Near
Its top hangs a hoop, from which pendant
prizes of the mon fascinating kinds entice
the gazers to dirty their clothes and .'.train
their sinews. The first few failed, and slid
down with unctuous rapidity, but the pole ls
gradually scraped, and atlast some bare-legged
youth, ol a sticking-plaster composition,
swarms to the lop and touches some wished
for prize. The nest time the hoop is hauled a
little higher, and the fun begins again amid I
cheers and laughter as repeated failures are I
made. I
In another crowd a boy is altempting to
walk a revolving well-greased pole to get the <
Ave cent piece on the other end. On one side j
ls a sack of flour, and on the other a quantity of J
powdered charcoal. A Bingle step sets the
pole revolving, and after vain attempts to pre- {
serve his equilibrium, his heels fly up, and
the victim ls Juck y If he can manage to make
his choice between the flour and the charcoal.
. Near by, a small wagon, filled with boys, is
placed at the upper end of an inclined plane.
These have lances, and charge for the ring
used beneath a pail of water. Ono may take
the ring and gain the reward, but the rest
Btrike the wood, and the result ls a drenching
shower upon the wagon load of sable knights.
Late In the afternoon Professor Bond ap?
peared to exhibit upon the tight-rope, but
owing to the wire not being tight enough a
more extended performance was deferred
until this afternoon.
In the manner described the day wore on,
the marksmen shot at the target, the old
people hobnobbed around ihe booths, the
beaux and belles danced, the visitors looked
around and the children rode on the carous
sals and ate sweet thing?. Every one had
abundant enjoyment until late In the evening,
when the crowd gradually left the grounds, (
the booths were shut up and the participants
In the Fest, one and all, made their way to the
city, delighted with their day's experience.
Although much lager was consumed, not a
single case ol disorderly behavior occurred,
and the only untoward Incident which marred
the pleasure and harmony of the first day of
the Bchut zenfeEt was that a youthful son ol [
Mr. Geo. H. Lindstedt cut ?IB ankle rather
severely. This was quickly attended to, and
Is not thought to be at all dangerous
