shooters of prominence from all ovei 

 the country attend. The New York 

 .\thletic Club sent over two teams in 

 competition and it was the best Pa- 

 triots' Day shoot ever had at the B, A, 

 A. traps at Riverside, In a field 

 of 1.50 shooters. Reuter stood in 11th 

 place, which is an enviable mark con- 

 sidering the class represented. He 

 was tied high gun in his class for the 



two days on the full program of 300 

 targets, and lost in a shoot off by 3 

 targets. 



W. E. McKissicl:, of the Leo Niessen 

 Co., of Baltimore, has been laid up for 

 some time as a result of a strain oc- 

 casioned when helping to move some 

 heavy cases of plants.
