 mistake not, a shot was lost to the Irish team in one of the

Alabama, Montgomery, June 18, 1877.— The Montgomt ry 

 Shooting Club of this city having lately put up a club house 

 on the beautiful ground overlooking Jackson's Lake, .1 

 magnificent sheet of water, only l\\e miles from town, and 

 easy of access by either carriage or rail, concluded on Fri- 

 day last they would chrisieu it by a barbecue, fish fry, bird 

 Shoot, etc., and so, getting on board the cars, together with 

 about, twenty or thirty of the fair sex, they soon landed at 

 Ihe lake, and proceeded in various ways to amuse them- 

 selves, some dancing, some fishing, and others si,,,, :l ,. 

 the score of which I send you. The birds flew ver 

 being wet in a shower, and frequently would dart right 

 down to the ground, requiring very quick shooting. lu 

 the glass ball shootmg very few of the shooters had ever 

 shot at them before, but I am sure by a little practice our 

 club cannot be beaten by any club in the country. After 

 the shootiug was over, dinner was aunounced, 'and only 

 those who have enjoyed a good "Southern barbecue" can 

 imagine what justice we paid to the fat barbecued lambs, 

 done to a rich brown, the lake fish just caught, and 

 fluttering as they went into the frying pan, the rich p'igeon 

 stew, so delicious it makes me hungry now to think of \t\ and 

 when the engine soon whislled for r 'All aboard " it was 'with 

 much reluctance we hade gooiPby to the charming place.
