Yesterday marked the end of the Northwestern [Marksmen's] Alliance's prize shooting event; it was one of the most interesting affairs ever given in Chicago, and today the festival comes to a close.

For today, a special program has been arranged: Crossbow shooting, bird and star targets, sack and foot races, Bengal lights for night illumination, the crowning of the "Rifle King," general distribution of prizes; all of which will undoubtedly draw thousands of people to the park.

Today two trains will be available, one at ten o'clock in the morning, the other at one o'clock in the afternoon; return trips will be at 6:30 P. M. and 10 P. M.

The delegate meeting is also scheduled for today--the first thing in the 2morning.

The Scores

The total scores cannot be published at this time, because the tabulation had not been completed when the evening train left for Chicago.

We append some data which we obtained from some riflemen who came to Chicago yesterday: The highest score on the King's target was made by William Hayes of the Manhattan Rifle Club, New York. His score was 210, and he will be proclaimed "King of the Riflemen" today. Hermann Blick, of St. Louis, scored 91 on the Man's target, and he will receive the first prize. First prize on the Union target was won by John B. Hefner of this city; he will be given one hundred dollars, donated by the Chicago Schuetzenverein. Second prize (same target) goes to John Fresler, of St. Louis; his score was 64 bull's-eyes. The prize money, $72, was donated by the Missouri Scharfschuetzenverein, of St. Louis.

Scores on the small target were: W. Hayes, Newark, 182,.....[highest]. D. Wirth, Highland, 40; [lowest]. [Altogether, 14 names].

The total scores will be posted today.

Bowling

Bowling has been popular, and very good scores have been recorded. Today the championship will be decided. We again publish the rules:

Any player may win two prizes, but not a third one.

Whoever strikes the most "nines" will be "Bowling King," and will receive a nice gold medal worth $50.

Whoever hits the most rings (eight pins around the King, without striking the King) will receive a gold medal valued at $25.
