THIRD DAY, JUNK 19. 
Another lovely day; hotter, perhaps, than either of its two prede- 
cessors, but still a good day for target-shooting. Fulford again did 
great work, losing only 4 targets out of 110 phot at, and leading the 
rest of the shooters with a percentage of 96.2. McMurchy, who had 
recovered somewhat from his indispostion, shot well, tieing Alkire 
and Redwing for third place, besides winning the diamond watch 
charm offered by Von Lengerke & Detmold for the highest score in 
No. 4, the Schultze powder contest. Below is the table of the

W. J. Black. 
North Dakota. 
Nothing succeeds like success, and the management of the second 
anaual tournament of the North Dakota Sportsmen's Association have 
reason to congratulate themselves upon the success of the tourna- 
ment just closed. For no tournament held in the West this year will 
witness such an aggregation of good shots as were sssembled on the 
club grounds of the Fargo Gun Club on the morning of June 10, the 
opening day, and when the entries were counted up there were found 
to be 66 who wanted to face the traps in the opening event. And of 
this number 55 shot through the two days in every event, and the 
balance in one or more events. The shooting was done from five 
expert traps, with Paul North's latest electric pull, under the able 
supervision of the Association's president, Mr. O. E. Bobbins, and a 
better handling of traps and trapping has not been seen at any tour- 
nament, and the breakage of birds in trapping was the smallest that 
it has "va* been the writer's privilege to witness at any tournament. 
Amox.*' ^he distinguished visitors present were Mr. Ferguseon, of 
Winnipeg! 11 ho has thfi onor of holding the title of champion wiDg 
shot of Manitoba, besi_8 Mr. R. J. Whitla, Mr. Scott and Dr. Crook- 
shank, also ail from W. tnipeg. St. Paul was ably represented by 
Messrs. John P. Burkhai \ Dr. W. L. Lyon, J. C. Highhouse, H. C. 
Hlrechy, while the other one of the Twins, Minneapolis, sent as her 
delegation Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Shattuck, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, J. C. 
Marshall and Mr. Shuler. Duluth was ably represented by Mrs. Dr. 
Day and Messrs. Dodge, Nelson, Mendenhall and Wadsworth. 
During the tournament Mrs. Shattuck and Mrs. Day shot a friendly 
match for a medal to be presented by the Fargo Gun Club, at 50 tar- 
gets, 25 known angles and 25 unknown, which resulted in the very 
close score of 26 for Mrs. Shattuck to 25 for Mrs. Day. These two 
ladles are very evenly matched, and in a longer race it would be a 
very difficult matter for any one to pick the winner. All through 
the two days a very strong wind blew quartering across the traps, 
which made the flight of the targets very uneven, and consequently 
kept the averages way below the general ability of the participants, 
The event which elicited the most interest was a team shoot, four 
men to a team, and 25 targets at unknown angles, and guaranteed by 
the Association to be worth $100. There were eleven entries and the 
teams lined up to the score in the following order:

During the team shooting the wind blew in gusts across the traps, 
which accounts for the low averages, and it resulted in a victory 
for the Fargo boys, with St. Cloud second, only one bird behind, and 
Minneapolis and Duluth ties for third place, and Winnipeg fourth. 
The best of feeling prevailed throughout the tournament, and 
every one went away voting the second annual tournament of the 
North Dakota Sportsmen's Association a grand success and avowing 
their intenton of coming again next year and bringing with them afi 
their friends. 
A singular feature of this tournament wos the winning of the team 
shoot one year ago by the Fargo team, and the highest average was 
also won by Mr. 0. E. Robbins, of Fargo, which was repeated at this 
tournament, Mr. RobbiDs leading Mr. Trent, the champion of Minne- 
sota, by the very narrow margin of one bird.

NEW LINE OF STEAMBOATS BETWEEN BALTIMORE, OLD POINT COMFORT 
AND NORFOLK. 
Realizing the demand of the traveling public at this age, and appre- 
ciating the libe- al patronage over the York River Line between Balti- 
more and Richmond, the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Richmond Steam- 
boat Co. will on July 1 inaugurate a new line between Baltimore, Old 
Point Comfort and Norfolk, ia keeping with its rail connection, the 
Southern Railway System, which to-day has a national reputation for 
the most superbly equipped and well managed line of railway on the 
American continent, extending from Washington, D. C— the National 
Capital— and Norfolk on the Atlantic seaboard, reaching all the prin- 
cipal cities south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi River over 
its own rails. This new line will have in service two of the moat mag- 
nificent and swiftest boats that ever floated on the waters of Chesa- 
peake Bay— the Charlotte and Atlanta. 
The Bteamer Atlanta, which has so aptly been termed the "New 
Queen of the Bay," is a veritable floating palace. She was built by the 
William Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding Co., of Philadelphia, at a cost of 
$350,000. Her dimensions are: Length 240ft., beam 48ft., depth to 
saloon deck 26ft. 
The hull is constructed of steel of the best character known for 
shipbuilding. 
No expense has been spared in making the passenger accommoda- 
tions most complete. The dining-room, which is handsomely finished 
in hard wood, and has a seating capacity for seventy persons, has 
be en located on the main saloon deck forward, thus insuring ample 
light and ventilation, and enabling passengers to command a view of 
the beauties of the Chesapeake Bay while enjoying the meals for 
which this company has always been deservedly famous. 
The main saloon is handsomely decorated in an artistic manner, and 
is luxuriously furnished. The staterooms are large and comfortable 
fitted with steam heat, electric lights and call bells. 
The social hall is reached by a magnificently carved hard wood 
stairway leading from the main saloon, and opens out on the prome- 
nade deck, where the passengers gather to admire the glories of the 
Chesapeake and to discuss the chat ms of this latest addition to the 
fleet of this progressive company. For further information call on

Personally-Conducted Tours 
Railroad. 
via Pennsylvania 
That the public have come to recognize the fact that the best and 
most convenient method of pleasure travel is to participate in the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad Company's personally-conducted tours, is evidenced 
by their increased popularity with each succeeding year, and the num- 
ber of inquiries in regard to them. 
Under this system the lowest rates are obtained, both for transpor- 
tation and hotel accommodation, and none but the best hotelB are used. 
An experienced tourist agent and chaperon accompany each tour to 
look after the comfort of the passenger. 
The following tours have been arranged for the season of 1896:— 
To the North (including Watkins Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand Is- 
lands, Montreal, Quebec, Au Sable Chasm, Lakes Champlain and 
George, Saratoga, and a daylight, ride down through the Highlands of 
the Hudson), July 21 and Aug. 18. Rate, 8100 for the round trip from 
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, covering all ex- 
penses of a two weeks' trip. 
To Yellowstone Park, covering a period of seventeen days, on a spe- 
cial train of Pullman sleeping, compartment and observation cars and 
dining car, August 27. Rate, $200 from New York, Philadelphia, Bal- 
timore and Washington. 
Two tours to Gettysburg, Luray Caverns, Natural Bridge, Rich- 
mond and Washington will be run in the early autumn.— Adv. 
Double Service— Fall River Line. 
The Fall River Line will operate Double Service this summer from 
June 29 to Sept. 6 Inclusive. During this period the great steamboats, 
the Pri8cilla, Puritan, Plymouth and Pilgrim, will be in commission 
together, two of them running nightly between New York and Fall 
River, while on Sundays there will be but one boat, at 5:30 P. M. 
The 5:30 P. M. boat will run express to Fall Elver, touching at New- 
port on Monday mornings only, while the 6:30 P. M. boat will land at 
Newport, reaching there about 4 in the morning, remain there until 6 
o'clock, and then proceed to Fall River. 
Express train service is operated between the steamboat wharf, 
Fall River, and Boston, Cape Cod points, Plymouth and the 8outh 
Shore, Cottage City, Nantucket, as well as other points on the Old 
Colony 8ystem of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. 
The vo'ume of traffic via this popular line is always enormous, while 
from present indications the pleasure travel this season will doubtless 
be unusually heavy, hotel people in the East generally predicting a 
very brilliant season.— Adv. 
A Summer Paradise. 
The beauties of the Adirondacks, Lake George and Lake Champlain 
are well illustrated in the 1896 publication of the Delaware & Hudson 
R. R., which will be sent on application to General Passenger Agent 
J. W. Burdick, Albany, N. Y. 
The letterpress is very brief, giving in concise form just those points 
that tourists want to know, and most of the space is given up to pic- 
tures. There are several hundred of these, showing the principal ho- 
tels and boarding houses as well as charming bits of scenery. The 
accommodations of the region are very thoroughly covered, and one 
can form a very fair idea of each locality from the accompanying 
photographs. Six maps show routes, and information iB given re- 
garding stage lines and means of transit.— Adv.
