FRANKFORD, Pa., July 28. -The regular monthly prize shoot 

 of the North End Gun Club took place on their grounds this after- 

 noon. On account ol this being the vacation season, a great many 

 ?£ the active members were conspicuous by their absence. Mr' 

 Wm. Wolstencroft received his new Winchester repeater from 

 the factory to-day, and, while exercising it, gave us a fine exhibi- 

 tion of shooting at triple birds. Mr. W. has been using a Win- 

 chester for some time, and liked it so well that he had one made 

 to order, a very handsome, high grade gun. Six bf ou,r members 

 are using line make of gun and are much pleased with them, as 

 they are very hard and close shboters. Mr. W. Wolstencroft and 

 Wm. M. Pack can make very creditable, scores at triple birds with 

 the repeaters— a difficult feat, we think. In the shoot to-day, the 

 first prize, a bag of shot, was won hy Wm. Wolstencroft, with 18 

 out of 20 to his credit; Jas. Wolstencroft took second prize, 200 

 shells, and S. Richards, third prize, 1,000 wads. The following is
