LAST DAT OF THE SCH?TZENFEST. The Crowd at the Plaii-Lait of the Shooting-Distributing the Prizes The Coronation of the New King Opening the Ball- Cloting Scenes. They who Intend to pay only one visit to the Sch?tzenfest always put their trip off un til the last moment, and the tendency to procrastinate usually makes (be closing day of the Fest a most crowded one. Yesterday was no exception to the rule, and many who hid not thought of going felt their stubborn resolutions Blipping away as they looked out upon the bright, clear morning, and breathed the warm, balmy air of Bprlng. The impulse to go ont into the fields was Irresistible, and thousands left the city to share ID the whole? some outdoor recreation which the whole German population were enjoying at the fes? tival of the Schulzen. Each day the attend? ance at the platz has been large, but yesterday THE CROWD OF VISITORS t was something startling. Ia the morning there was nothing more striking than usual at the Platz, and everything kept on the even tenor of its way. About noon, the vehicles plying along the Shell Hoad showed signs of activity, and the trains upon the South Caro? lina Railroad became longer and more crowded. An hour or so later, the rush of visitors up the avenue to the Platz overcame even the wonderful "Nil admirar? of the gate-keepers. The continuous travel over the whole length of the Shell Road had reduced the upper strata into an impalpable dust, and from one end to the other rose white clouds which seemed to herald the approach of some mighty host. Through this smothering atmos? phere passed and repasted the omnibuses, carriages, buggies and nondescript vehicle?, crowded with passengers, all pushing and hur? rying along to discharge their contents into 'the maelstrom of human beings circulating among the grounds at the Platz. Horses, drivers and passengers all came out from the road covered with white, and looking as though they all bad been ''through the mill" in earnest. At regular intervals the railroad train hissed and snorted up to tbe head of the avenue, and straightway a cavalcade of visi? tors issuing therefrom would swarm up the avenue, and pour through the gates to Join the overflowing crowd. The heat was oppressive and the dust choking, but nobody seemed to mind lt at all, and all wished to be io at the end. AT THE BCHCTZBKPLATZ everything was gay and lively. Tbe Immense crowd thronged around the various amuse? ments, and cheered the Juvenile actors to greater efforts. The climbing was ambitious, tbe egg-whipping most animated, Jocko outdid a real monkey, and tbe sable knights o? the water-buckets took their drencbiogs with more than usual equinimlty. The crowd was always moving, and the booths did a large business. Much lager was drank, then more, and finally an unequivocal superlative could alone express the satisfaction of the vendors, as they tossed the frothing beverages over to thirsty mortals on the other side of the counters. Ice cream was afr a premium, and the carousals hummed swiftly around with full seats and every saddle Ailed. AMOX? THE RIFLEMEN the day was a busy one too. From the open? ing hour the sharp crack ol the rifle eould be heard, and a steady Are was kept up until one o'clock. Tbe eagle had been shot away the day before, and naught remained to dis? tract the marksmen from the steadily work* lng targets. Centres are made by scores, and. the red flag ls kept waving along the entire line of targets. Four days of practice had made the riflemen adepts, and few shots went wide of the white. It was the last beat in the five day race, and a cheer burst from the Ups of tho riflemen as one o'clock was an? nounced, and the order was given to cease firing. THE LAMES' SHOOTING GALLERY had also beeu well patronized, and a spirited contest was kept up long after the other shoot? ing had ceased. The prizes won are as fol? lows : THURSDAY. First prize, Bilk parasol, Hrs. F. Ansel; se? cond, fan, Mrs. A. Geilfus; third, porte monnaie, Mrs. H. Harms; fourth, Bet col? lar and cuff-', Mrs. StellgiB; fifth, sliver plated garters, Mrs. F.

PROFESSOR BOND was escorted out at four o'clock in the after? noon, and made his appearance upon the tight? rope, when he went through his usual feats with unequalled hardihood and coolness. The crowd watched bis movements in deep sus? pense, and seemed a little disappointed that the daring iunambullst should have done BO much miling without really doing lt. This oc? cupied some time, but In another quarter were gathered a crowd, who were examining A WAR-WORN RELIC ot much Interest to nearly all present. From the flagstaff of the booth occupied by Mr. J. C. W. Bischoff, on the south side of the Platz, next the shooting stand, floats the colors or the old German Artillery, which the company had bore through the iron hall lu the artillery fight at Port Royal, and on many a subsequent well fought field.? The flag is red, beariDg on one side the arms of the State, and on the other the name of the company. Its faded folds are rent by shot and shell, and the heavy gold fringe has been mostly carried away. " Where did It come from ?" was asked by a dozen eager voices as tbe well-known banner was recognized, and all gathered to look once more upon the war-worn relic of the past' The martial strains of the Post Band now call upon the riflemen to assemble, and the prepa? rations for DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES begin. The Carolina and the German Rifle Clubs form at the entrance to the cottage, and the king is duly escorted around the grounds to the speaker's stand In conformity with a time-honored custom. The officers of the clubs ascended the stand where the prizes had been all duly set forth, and where the little girl8 who had ridden in the triumphal wagon had all been arranged. The new king, Mr. F. H. Ploger, also takes his place upon the stand, where he is surrounded by a brilliant court, consisting of the late kings and their queens, as follows: Mr. Theodore Melcher's and Miss Kruse, Mr. D. W. Goetjen and MIBB Sahlmann, Mr. L. Dunneman and Miss Hastedt, and Mr. L. Muller and Miss M. Bischoff. Of the court also were Mr. Schachte and Miss Werner, Mr. Amme and Miss Ploger, and Mr. R. Issertel and Miss J. Melchers. Mr. James Simons, Jr., took the stand and delivered a short and eloquent address, con' gralulatlng the club upon the successful ter? mination of the Fest, and announcing that the prizes for which they had been contending would now be awarded. President Melchers then called aloud the names o? the successful marksmen, and as be presented bia prize to each made some humor? ous remarks suggested by the nature of the prize, and expressive of the kind feelings of toe club towards the winner. The prizes * awarded as follows : TARGET OP HONOR. No. 1. Singer sewing machine and Wage meda!, 6. Logemann. No. 2. Gold medal from Savannah Scbut Gesellschaft, A. F. Meyer. No. 3..

Professor Bond was then presented with silver medal by the president, In behalf of tl German* Rifle Club, as a testimonial of b valuable services, and with the hope that 1 would-be able to attend at the next Fest. Mr. R. Heisser then advanced, and, takln the king's chain from the neck of the la year's king, Mr. B. H. Bequest, returned it the club with an appropriate speech. Tl chain Is a silver one, and is adorned with si ver medals, each King being obliged, by ruli .to add one bearing his name and the date < his reign. It was p'aced upon the neck of tl new king, and his majesty, taking the beaut ful crown of feathers and flowers, presente him by President Melchers, placed lt upon tl brow of Miss Schmidt, whose coronation WE hailed with cheers. His majesty then read h royal speech, which was carefully prepare* and was received with three rousing cheers. President Melchers then took the massiv king's goblet, holding near two bottles c Rhine wine, and filling lt to the brim, pr< sented lt to their Royal Blghnesses, wh drank, and the goblet was then passed arounc being refilled as necessity called lor it, ths all present might drink to the health of tb king. The goblet ls a large silver one, mai sive, and richly chased. It was present? years ago to the club by the New Tork Schul zen, and replaced the curious old drlnklni horn which had been used on such occasions This concluded the public exercises, and, pre ceded by the band, the court and its follower, marched up . TO THE BALL-ROOM ' ' where the royal couple first promenaded anc then opened the ball with a waltz. Of course everybody rushed for the ball-rroom, and th< result was a jam, which has seldom been seei at a kingly entertainment. The vast danclnj hall was packed to euch a degree that thi crowd could hardly be pressed back lo allov, the royal couple room to give the opening "coup de pied," and only a small space in th? middle of the hall could at length be obtained The King and his partner, ho we ver, started anc the court joined in. Gradually, the dancer be came contagious until the whole mass was in fected, and the crowd began to gyrate to the throbbing ol the base-drum, which alone could be beard In the hubbub. By degrees, those who did not dance left the hall, and the light-footed terpsichorean began to enjoj themselves. Tue ball was kept up with spirit j and only ceased when the shades of night be? gan to fal), and the throng was hurrying down to the train walting at the end of the avenue. The crowd out doors kept up theil games and amusements until dark. Then all be? gan to depart. As they hurried away the last ol the amusements were beheld at the gate, where Mr. F. Yon Sauten was sendlDg up In the still evening air several mimic balloons o? parti colored paper. The frail air-ships rose beautifully, and as they floated away lo the north three guns boomed from the rear of the grounds, announcing the termination of the Sch?tzenfest o? 1872. The Fest lasted Ave days, was conducted in the most exemplary manner, and has afforded a source of innocent recreation and enjoyment to thousands of our citizens. All honor to this spring holiday of our German citizens, and to the energelic and courteous Sch?tzen, whose untiring labor made lt BO splendidly successful. ^_ Bleetins* Thia Day.

The stage was occupied by tbe officers and members of the Grand Lodge, and decorated, lu addition to the handsome scene? ry set for a garden view, with the banners of several of tbe lodges, including the Palmetto Encampment, No. 1, Howard Lodge, No. 3, and Pulaski Lodge, No. 20, of Newberry-the latter draped In mourning; and over the cen? tre or the stage was hung a floral design, rep? resenting three links of a chain, the links containing respectively the letterB F. L. T. the Initials of Faith, Love and Truth. On a stand, ID the centre of the stage, was a large cluster of roses in a handsome vase. In front of the stage was a melodeon, kindly loaned f or the occasion by Hr. Henry Siegllng, and a donble quartette choir bf ladles and gentle? men, led and accompanied on the melodeon by Dr.-W. H. Tarrant. Soon after eight o'clock, and after an an? them by the choir, the meeting was opened with prayer hy the Bev. O. F. Gregory, P. V. G., which was followed by the ode, "This Day Let Songs of Joy Arise," rendered In fine style by the choir. The grand master, Mr. A. J. Mlms, then announced that they had assem? bled, in obedience to orders from the Grand Lodge of the United States, to celebrate, sim? ultaneously with the celebrations by the breth? ren of the order throughout the land, the fifty third anniversary of the introduction ot the order into America, and he introduced, as the first orator o? the evening, General W. G. DeSauB8ure, past grand sire. .General DeSaussure made a finished and graceful address, alluding to the significance of the occasion as Illustrating the fraternal spirit of the age. The world, he Bald, " bad witnessed the ages of Iron, of brass, of silver and of gold, but this century was eminently tbe age of brotherhood. The gigantic wars ot the nineteenth century had necessitated and given rise to many fraternal associations des? tined to accomplish illimitable good ID alleviat? ing human suffering and averting human mis? ery. He alluded eloquently to the mission of Odd Fellowship in carrying out that peace on earth and good will to men, heralded by angel voices nineteen hundred years ago when the Star of the East. shone bright on Beth? lehem, and the Saviour of mankind came into the world. He closed with an earnest charge to the grand master and to his brethren in the Grand Lodge and in the order to pursue steadfastly .their work of practical obarity, morality and virtue, so that wnen called to give an account of their stewardship in the celestial encampment whioh they ali hoped to reach, they could say they bad exerted their best endeavors for the promotion of "peace on earth, good will to men." * Th s was followed by the singing of the ode, "In friendship tried is found a precious trea? sure," after which Dr. J. Somers Buist, P. C., was Introduced as the next orator. Dr. Buist read an eloquent review of the purposes and objects of Odd Fellowship, wblch he illustrated by or happy and beautiful allegory. He related that two beautiful chil? dren walking abroad one morning in the hot rays of the sun, were met by a zephyr, whose grateful breath aod fragrance kissed and fan? ned their cheeks, and one of the children asked the summer breeze whither it waB bound and why lt was so happy ? The zephyr answered that lt was going to do good to all the world, and therefore lt was happy. The other child inquired where lt bad been, and the breeze replied that since early dawn lt had been cheering those lt bad mel, and re? lated how It had cooled the brow of the weary traveller, blown aside the cur? tains of the sick man's chtmber and fanned him into Bleep, visited the widow-and the fatherless at tbelr ceaseless toil, and whis? pered words of hope, until it saw the weary look fade from their faces and bright smiles of happiness take their place. Suob, he said, were the mission and the practice of Odd Fellowship, which silently but certainly nour? ished Its votaries, asking no favors, fearing no rebus, seeklug no reward, but pointing with conscious pride to liviug monuments of success. An original ode, composed for the occasion by a lady of this city, and commencing "0 ! who that bears in bim a warm heart and true," was then sung by the choir, and Mr. A. G. Magrath, J. B., P. C., was introduced and made an admirable address, briefly reviewing the history of Odd Fellowship, adverting to its trials and sufferings during the long strug? gle for Bouthern independence, and earnestly defending its lorms of practice, Its necessary secrecy, and Us noble accomplishment-?. This was followed by the ode, "Spirit of of Friendship, Truth and Love," and the au? dience was dismissed with a benediction by the Bev. Mr. Gregory.

ID reference to an article which appeared In THE CHARLESTON SEWS ol 26th of April,' signed .?Fair Play," we would say the Singer Manu? facturing Company are not trying to humbug the people of Charleston, but are endeavoring to prove the Singer New 'Family Machine the best Sewing Machine for family use, aa well as their Standard Machines aie for manufac? turing purposes. Io regard to robbing the authors ot their "conveniently arranged figures," we hardly thins: that can be done. Figures dont lie. The figures given 'In list of Bales are from sworn reports of various companies made in tlie year in question under the licenses granted them by the owners of the Sewing Machine patents. But the figures of the Singer are so very enormous that Fair Play seems to have some doubts as to their authenticity. The greater portion of Singer Machines sold In Charleston are New Family, fur family use, which we wish to be distinctly understood. We don't agree with "Fair Play" when he says "as a family machine its merits have been .greatly exaggerated." We would like to know what particular machine lt ls that Is better adapted to iamiiy ase than the Singer, and have it brought out and let people know which ls the best J amity machine. In conclusion, we would most earnestly ad? vise everybody Intending to buy a sewing machine to exam .ne them well before purchas? ing, and give them a fair and square trial, anti prove the merits of the beet family machine.
