 those present will t-stifv. The only drawback was lie- weather, and 

 that of course, could not be helped. The whole affair reflects great 

 crcd't on the originator and manager. James E. Doran, Ashiabnla's 

 well-known crack shot. He had manv obstacles to contend Willi, bul 

 was superior to them all. and managed the affair in A No. I style. 

 The next shoot will take place here Tuesday aud Wednesday, Sep 

 tcinher 11 and 12, when a large number of shooters from abioad will 

 be present, and .some, welting sport may be looked for.
