Jack Parker's Annual. 
Advance sheets of the programme for Jack Parker's annual tour- 
nament, at Detroit,- Mich., Sept. 7-10, have come to hand. 
The schedule of events for Tuesday, Sept. 7, is as follows: Three 
15 target events, $1.50; three 20-target events, Si; one 2,5-target 
event, $3; and the 2.men team championship event at 50 targets per 
man, $6 entrance for each team. 
On Wednesday, Sept. 8. there is a similar list of events, but the 60- 
target event is for the Gillman & Barnes medal, valued at $150, for 
"Individual Expert International Championship," 21yds. rise, use of 
both barrels. The entrance fee is $1.50— the price of "the targets. 
The third and fourth days have similar programmes in all respects, 
save the 50-target races. On the third day, Sept. 9, the 50-target 
event is named the "King's Smokeless Handicap," allowance of extra 
targets to weaker shots. The first prize is a diamond watch charm. 
On the fourth day the 50 target event is also a handicap affair, but 
the handicaps are by distance only , 14 to 21yds. Tlie prizes are value- 
able merchandise prizes, worth winning. 
Under the head of ''Rules and Conditions" are the following notes 
that will be of interest: 
"Take Jefferson avenue through cars passing by Hotel Wayne 
direct to shooting grounds. Rose system of dividing purses will be 
used, four moneys in 15 birds and tive in the others. The Oilman & 
Barnes medal has been won six times by six different persons and 
must be won three times in succession. The handicapping by dis- 
tance and extra birds will be done by a committee on grounds. The 
shoot is open to all. Those desiring to enter for merchandise only, 
can do so by paying for their targets as stated; all ties on merchan- 
dise can be settled among the shooters themselves or shot off in suc- 
ceeding event Those entering in the sweepstakes are not eligible for 
merchandise, unless they fall below money place, provided the scores 
made by the merchandise shooters allow them to come in; thus a 
man making 11 in a 15 bird race is generally out of money, but won'd 
be in for a merchandise prize, provided 14, 13 and 12 was not made by 
merchandise shooters, which scores would shut out 11. Half 
a cent apiece will be deducted from all targets thrown acd 
paid to ten high guns at the end of each day, and as I 
always throw about 30,000 targets, it will mean at least 
$150 for average. Only sweepstake shooters will be eligible for 
above average. A handsome diamond button for best average in ail 
sweepstake events for four days. A handsome diamond button will 
be given to person making best average in all merchandise events for 
four days. Traps ready Monday, Sept. 6, 2 o'clock P. M. Ship shells 
care of Hodgson, Howard & Marks, 93 Woodward avenue, Detroit, 
Mich. Plenty Peters loaded shells, smokeless, semi-smokeless and 
black on grounds. Dinner served near grounds m first class style. 
King's Smokeless trophy becomes property of winner. Messrs. F. 
Lindsley, Mr. King and Mr. Harry King, all of the King Powder Co., 
will be on the grounds and explain to everyone the merits of the King 
Powder Co.'s products. Mr Thos. Keller, of Peters Cartridge Co., 
will also be present. The merchandise shooters will help swell the 
average money for the sweepstake shooters." 
All communications in regard to this tournament should be ad- 
dressed to John Parker, 465 Junction avenue, Detroit^ Mich.

half .'5etter and pointer? He Is one year old. I have had him in the 
field several times, and he got what I call a fit. His eyes stared, he 
trembled, wheeled round in a circle and fell; he foamed at the mouth 
and kicked his legs. He was weak and tired. At present he keeps 
hacking most of the time and throws up a mucus substance. His 
nostrils seem to run, for he keeps licking them, His eyes are red ; he 
refuses food most oi the lime. I leed twice a day, light, and he ia 
getting thin. 1 gave him two doses of araca nut powder, but saw no 
worms. Ans.' Give following pills three times a oay: 
R. Est. cannalis indica gr. i.

VACATION DATS IN THE MOUNTAINS. 
Almost from time immemorial the mountain section of Virginia 
has been famous for its health-giving and strength- restoring treas- 
ures. The numerous medicinal springs that plenceously dot the ter- 
ritory were resorted to by the Indians long before tne white man 
came, and in ihe legends of the aborigines tney are regarded as holy 
places. Among the most noted springs of this character are those 
located in the great Warm Springs Valley, and chief of these are the 
Virginia Hot Springs, the Warm Sulphur Springs and the HeaUng 
Springs, at an elevation of 2,500tt and environed by mountains rising 
l,&00fi. higher, which make the air delightful in the shade and the 
nights cool even in the warmest weather. These resorts are as popu- 
lar as they are valuable in restoring healih and strength, and are 
patronizeu for their social advantages as well as for their salubrious 
surroundings. Thev, as well as Greenbrier Wnite Sulphur, Old 
Sweet, Sweet Chalybeate, Red SulDhur, calc Sulphur, Rockbridge
