 mosphere which affected good holding on to doubles. The spectators 

 were numerous, among wuotn was Mr. Langley, appointed by the -o- 

 Cletyforthe Prevention Ol Cruelty to Animals, who expressed him- 

 self pleased with the sport, am retry the flight or clay 

 pigeons in the little jale which prevailed, and which landed them 

 seventy-live reel from the trap. The programme, tor the d •}' was as 

 follows, with the prize winners in flieu order of standing:

A Proposed Tennessee Tournament — Nashville, Tenn., 

 Nov. 3. — Editor Forest and Stream: The prizes won by the 

 Tennessee team, at the shooting tournament held in Chicago 

 last summer, arrived in Nashville yesterday- They & insisted 

 of a handsome gold medal, two dozen of Allen's decoy duck 

 frames and six nickel-plated callers. The team was com- 

 posed of Andy Meadtrs, W. E. Watkins, Felix Mitchell, of 

 Nashville, Dr. Saunders aud another gentleman from Mem- 

 phis. It would be a good idea for those gentlemen to ar- 

 range a shoot between themselves for the ownership of the 

 medal, and Ihe winner to offer it as a prize to be shot for by 

 citizens of the State. This might prove the initiative of a 

 tournament which could be made attractive. Arrange a 

 series of clay pigeon and glass-ball matches, single, double 

 and team shoots, offering such prizes as would induce crack 

 shots to come among us. The most fitting time to hold the 



shoot would be immediately after the field trials to be held 

 in December, by the N. A. K. C. Prom the present pros- 

 pects the attendance at those trials will be very large, ami as 

 many of the participants and spectators will come from a 

 long distance, a break in their journey and a day or two of 

 good sport might prove agreeable. — J D. H.

 I'odowed by as rapid a descent 01 tlir , . : ; u va( L 



rapid variations Indicate chan. eable tv- atlier, such as one'dav wet

The barometer usually sinks lowest and with greatest rapidity

a high and steady reading ror a length ot time; lienia: it iro.-nosii

There Is generally a rise In the bummeter when the wind chantres
