ON LONG ISLAND. 
ACME GUN CtUB. 
March 3.— The Acme Gun Club has been reorganized under its old 
name, and proposes to hold a target shoot at Dexter Park on the first 
Tuesday of every month. It seems hard to get Long Islanders inter- 
ested in target shooting, and as a consequence only eight members 
took part in the club's first club event tbis afternoon. The scores 
were as follows, Job Lott winning with 18 out of 20: 
Club shoot, 20 targets, known traps and angles:

Warren Gun Club. 
Warren, O., Feb. 25.— The Warren Gun club opened the 1897 Pea- 
son to-day with its first club shoot, the scores of which are given 
below. On account of the inclement weather— a blinding snowstorm 
driven by a gale of wind directly in the faces of the shooters— the 
scores are not very high. 
At our last club meetuig we decided to put up the elegant silver cup 
won by our team in the Pennsylvania and Ohio Border League con- 
tests last season for an individual trophy. It will become the per- 
sonal property of the member who wins it five times. We have tried 
to equalize this contest by giving a handicap allowance of from 1 to 
8 misses as breaks to some contestants. On this occasion it was won 
by E. A. Biery, who broke 21 out of 25 targets shot at, which with his 
allowance of 5 gave him the highest possible score. 
Cup contest, handicap allowance of misses as breaks:

Asheville and Hot Springs. 
Paradisb is said to be ''A place of bliss, a region of supreme felicity 
or delight." Better terms cannot be used descriptive of Asheville 
and Hot Springs, N. C, and yet the thousand attractions which exist 
there must be seen to be appreciated. Situated in the heart of the 
mountains, with the Smoky, Blue Ridge and Balsam ranges in sight, 
is "The Land of the Sky," and one of the most beautiful spots in the 
whole world. At a distance from Asheville, and forming a distinct 
outline against the heavens, stands Mount Pisgah in all its glory and 
magnificence. Western I«)ortti CaroHua is not a fau-y land, but a 
country beautiful beyond description. In the trip over the Southern 
Railway to these charming resorts nature's panorama is unfolded, 
showing picturesque scenes of the grandest kind. It matters not 
whether you view the mountains or gaze into vast depths or sylvan 
glens, all you see inspire you with the glory of your surroundings. 
Asheville is 2,300 feet above sea level. The climate is delightful the 
year round. The air is never damp, and sunshine is prevalent. 
There is where the invalid, business man and pleasure seeder come 
to breathe the pure, invigorating mountain air. 
A more delightful lime of the year cannot be found than to spend 
the month of March in the mountains of western North Carolina, 
Protected by the ranges of moimtaios on all sides, the disagreeable 
March winds that are prevalent are avoided. The Southern Railway 
operates a most perfect through-car service between New York, 
Asheville and Hot Springs, leaving New York daily at 4:30 P. M., via 
Pennsylvania, reaching Asheville next afternoon at 3 P. M. and Hot 
Springs 4 P. M. 
Full particulars regarding excursion rates to the resorts can be had 
upon application to the New York office (371 Broadway) of the South- 
ern Railway, who will give you all information regarding the resorts 
located in tne glorious mountains of western North Carolina.— j
