 few weeks and the winners presented with the medals and pro- 

 moted a class higher; the latter, however, relates only to the win- 

 ners in the second and third classes. Dave Miller will, without 

 doubt, win the med«l in the first class, he having won the medal 

 eight times. J. H, Kruse will undoubtedly win it in the second, 

 as he has won the emblem fourteen times, and Henry Seltenreich 

 will prove 10 be the wiDner in the third class, he having already 

 won the third class medal thirteen times. The shoot for weekly 

 class medals is a favorite institution with this club. A medal is 

 offered in each class to be up for a period of six months each. On 

 a weekly shooting night the m«n making the highest score in his 

 class wears it for a week, and the shooter winning it the most 

 times in the period mentioned retaios it, and, as already men- 

 tioned, the winner in the second and third class is promoted to a 

 higher class. Jay H. Kay.

For so young a rifle club (not having been in existence a full 12 

 months) the G. R. C. has a remarkably large collection of rifles of 

 various patterns, makes, etc., and with one exception all new and 

 first-hand. Each rifle is fondly prized by its owner for its partic- 

 ular merit or merits; but the palm-beaiet of all this collection is 

 the excepted one noted. It is acknowledged to be the pet of the 

 club, and the high scores put up by it are attributed to its mascot- 

 like qualities. The figure paid for this favorite would not buy a 

 derby hat , W. c, Collins, Stc'y,
