SECOND DAT OF THE SCH?TZENFEST. Tbe Eugle Shooting-First Prise Won hy the Carol!na?-Heavy Firing-On th?Tight Hope-Amusement!, Sic. Yesterday moraine dawned bright and clear, portending another pleasant day lor the merry-makers at the German Festival. At an early hour the riflemen and their fami? lies were to be seen driving up to the Platz, and soon the grounds and booths were again alive and filled with people. By degrees the visitors began to arrive, and poured Into the gateway ia a steady stream, which Increased In volumes as the day wore on. The sharp breeze irom the northeast put those little pests, the sand flies, completely hors du com? bat, and throughout the grounds bevies of young girls, noisy small boys and quiet cou? ples could be Been enjoying themselves ac? cording to their various bents. The small people surrounded the carousals, and made the welkin ring with shouts of glee as they went careering around upon the fiery, un? tamed rocking horses. Others played games upon the thick carpet ol grass, and young couples of maturer ages etrolled around in the shade ol the trees or sat watching the pictur? esque scene from the convenient benches be neath the splendid oaks, which form the mostj conspicuous ornaments In the front part ol the grounds. \Sarget shooting, as usual, formed the chief j attraction ot the day for the riflemen, and as early as nine o'clock the sharp cracking of the rifles announced that the marksmen had be? gun business. The regular targets worked with a precision and regularity which reflect? ed high credit upon the arrangements made by Mr. F. Ansel, the veteran target-master. EAGLE SHOOTING. The eagle was also placed upon the top of the mast, at a distance of a little less than two hundred yards from the booth, and the shoot? ing at the royal bird begun in the order Axed by the drawing on the preceding day. As the members were called, those who were there stepped forward and took their shots, while those who were absent lost their turn. The shooting at the bird was of the most exciting nature, aud for some lime the royal plumage remained unruffled. About ball-past twelve L>'clock he began to show signa of distress when seen through a telescope, and soon a part of the crown was allot away. The beak and wing were next brought down by Mr. F. Von San ten, but, as the erown was the mark lor the time, the prize for the beak and wing reverts to the club. The shooting continued, and the bead and crown were next shot away by Mr. Ellison A. Smythe, of the Carolina Bifle Gub. The shot was made with the common Win? chester rifle, and the marksman seenred the congratulations of having won the first prize aB be came back from the marsh with the larger part of the crown, which bad fallen to the shot.' As the head was not the part shot at for the time, this prize also reverts to the club. This success lent new life to the eagle shooting, and the bird Buffered corresponding? ly. The Bext mark was the bali held in the right claw, which ^as brought to the ground In handsome style by a Bhot from Mr. L. Dun nemann, one of the ex-kings ol the clnb. The bird stood under a heavy fire for the rest of the day, but retained his corporoalty with? out any further loss of limb. The sceptre In the left claw is the next at which the riflemen are striving. THE TAUGET OF HONOR was also put up at the usual distance, to be shot at between the hours of one and two o'olook P. M. The target ls eighteen Inches square, with a white bull's-eye In the centre four Inches Ia diameter. Each member of the German Bifle Club is entitled to a single shot at the target, and all of the prizeB presented to the club will be given to the best shots made at this target. Eight shots were fired at lt yesterday, only four of which struck the tar? get. These foar were all In the green, and not i one touched the bull's-eye. In addition to the Singer's sewing machine, the silk hat from Mr. Plenge, Ac. ANOTHER VALUABLE PRESENT has been sent to the club by the well-known firm of Messrs. Barth ouse Bros. A Co.. of Louisville, Ey. This ls neither more nor less than a half-barrel ol their celebrated Gold dust whiskey. The whiskey ls a pure Ken? tucky article, of fine flavor, and will form one of the most valuable prizes to be contended lor.ou the target of honor. There will doubt lessbe some close shooting done for this valu? able prize. A SHARP CONTEST lor the first prize at the regular target shoot? ing ls In progress, and grows daily more close. Yesterday the two crack shots were at work early and late, and between the two they scored over one hundred centre shots. As the- shooting progresses their aim becomes more accurate, and if the contest ls kept up the number of centres made by each during the week will be something unusual In the annals of shooting festivals. The total num? ber of centre shots made on the first day by all the marksmen was one hundred and twenty-seven, and yesterday two hundred and fl tly-fl ve. The Carolina's are getting the hang of it too, and some of their members carry a goodly number of centres, which show a vast improvement over last year's shooting. Towards, four o'clock THE VISITORS TO THE GROUNDS began to arrive In still larger numbers. The trains from the city were Ailed with a living freight of all ages and both sexes, and every moment the omnibuses, dog-carts and im? promptu wagon-hackB deposited their loads of passengers at the gate. Prominent among these vehicles ls the Robert*- Douglass, a new and stately carry-all put upon the route by the enterprising Mr. Gates. The vehicle ls com? modious, and built like a slreet-car. It ls nea?ty finished within, and the running cur? tains of light blue cloth around the open sides give it an air of inviting coolness which pedestrian cannot resist. The steamer of the Mount Pleasant Ferry Company also furnished another pleasant mode of reaching the Platz, of which a large number of visitors took ad? vantage. A side entrance to the grounds ls kept open for the especial benefit of the lat? ter. When the crowd was at its height, PROFESSOR BOND made bis appearance in fancy costume, and shouts from every side announced that the tight-rope performance was about to begin. Straightway hundreds ol heads were thrown - back Into a star-gazing, neck-breaking posi? tion, and all watched the movements of the professor as he ran nimbly up the ladder and made his appearance on the top of the main building. From the ridge ol the roof, on the north end, a wire had been stretched to the top of a lol ty pine, some sixty yards off. The wind was blowing a strong breeze, but the daring funambulist pasaed and repassed over the tense wire with perfect ease. A second time he appeared with his pole, and, to the horror ol the weak-nerved, the lower part of | his body, from the waist downward, was en? veloped in a strong crocus bag. With this Impediment he accomplished the distance to the pine and back In safety, while the crowd below held their breath in the anticipation of | so dire catastrophe. A third lime he ap? peared, and on his lofty pei ch swaggered along over the wire, dressed ?e an old woman, with a most intolerable Grecian bend. At the end o? this, Professor Bond (who seemed to be perfectly satisfied with his lease ol life) once'more walked to the'centre of the open space and began skinning innumer? able cats, and performing other gymnastic .feats, with all the composure of a turner with i in three feet of the ground. These diversions wera bailed with repeated cheers. The OTHER AMUSEMENTS continued In full blast. The c limbers of the greasy pole were out in force, and seemed never tired of assnylog their unctuous task. Six little darkies were placed upon a bench and each tarnished with a cigar, with a re? ward of five cent? lor the one who first finish? ed the weed. All light up and puff away like steam engines, when suddenly a cigar explodes with a cloud of smoke, and the half choking smoker hurries on to the end. The others smoke more warily, but meet in turn with the same discomfiture amid the shouts and laughter of the crowd. The charging at the bucket is kept up as ir the tilters enjoyed the wetting as much as the surrounding crowd did to see them drenched. Hunting for an egg ia an enclosed space by Borne six or seven blindfolded urchins, each armed with a long switch, is another favorite diversion; and continuous hurdle races, by small boys enveloped in sacks, afford a never falling subject for laughter, as the competitors struggle along and roll over in their anxiety to be first In and win the prize. In one of the b:oths a band of negro minstrels are perform? ing on the bones, tamborine and banjo, and in another the visitor ls diverted by the uncouth antics of a colored youth dressed up after the fashion of an ape, and looking the character to the life. In every part of the extensive grounds some amusement ls in progress, and wherever the visitor turns shouts of laughter Silule his ears. Everybody is enjoying him- j self or herself, and the time passes away In the pleasantest manner. Later in the afternoon THE DANCING HALL was still beue?_patronlzed than usual, and crowds of young people and old were tripping j lightly to the sound of inspiring music. The dancing began at noon, and continued with unabated vigor until the shades of evening fell last, and the crowd began to move off to? wards the trains walting at the end of the avenue. During the afternoon the visiting riflemen were handsomely entertained by their hosts, and passed a pleasant hour In the Interchange of social compliments, Ac. The number of visitors at the FeBt was much larger than on the preceding day, and the whole appearance Cf the Platz was no lest brilliant. The ar? rangements, amusements and all the sur- I ronndings of the festival are all well managed, and the second day of the Fest passed off as pleasantly as the day before, and was voted unanimously a splendid success. i TO VISITORS. 1 The steamers of the Mount Pleasant and Sullivan's Island Ferry Company will leave South Atlantic wharf at 12.30, 3 and 6.15 P.

Yesterday afternoon the yacht Edith, with four persons ou board, on a pleasure excur sion up the Ashley Uiver, met with a mishap nearly opposite Colonel Wm. Bull's place. The party had lett the Schutzenplalz on a Bail, and the yacht was running close hauled, with a light breeze, when a colored man named Rich? ard Prince fell overboard while walking along the leeward side of the boat. The yacht was brought about immediately and a rope was flung to him, when about ten yards off. He struck out and swam for about two minutes, but sank before the boat could be brought up to him. The deceased, who was Intoxicated at the time of the accident, was a wbarfman, and resided in Yanderhorst street. He leaves a wife and three children. A Sailor Drowned In the Harbor. Yesterday afternoon the eailing boat Annie, formerly the Belle, started from the city for Sullivan's Island, with Mr. John Hanlon and three seamen on board. The wind at the time was blowing with considerable force from the northeast, and the sea quite rough. When a short distance from Fort Ripley, about two miles below the city, the Annie was Btruck by a sharp flaw which capsized her. A struggle Immediately ensued with those en board, iu consequence of the boat's sinking, to secure themselves bj some por. lon ol'the vessel. Mr. Hanlon and-two seamen were enabled to do this by catching hold of the upper portion of the mast, which fortunately was not submerged, the water not being sufficient? ly deep; but Mr. James McCarty, a seaman, missing hlB hold, was drowned, notwithstand? ing the efforts of those around to aid him. After remaining on the Bunken boat about an hour, Mr. Hanlon and the two seamen were taken off by a fishing baat and brought to the city.
