1.AB0R DAY AT MARION. 
Sept 6.— The-annual Labor Day shoot of the Endeavor Gun Club 
was held to-day. The main event was the race for tbe Austin cup, 
100 targets per man, expert rule, 147 handicap system prevailing! 
This handicap is worked as follows: The high man's figures set the 
highest possible; all those below him are allowed to shoot at as many 
extra targets as constiiute the difference between their respective 
totals. For instance, Wolstencrofc broke 90 and Capt. Money 82; 
Oapt. Money's allowance was, therefore, 8 extra targets; he broke 
these and thus tied in the iirst round. Wolstencrof c won the cup 
Strictly on his merits, defeating sixteen competitors. The totals, to- 
gether with the handicaps, shoot-offs, etc , are as below:

PREBHOLD DEFEATS THE ENDEAVORS. 
-Sept W.— Owing to very short notice, the Endeavor Gun Club, of 
ferseyCity, was unable to get together more than six men for the 
'eturn match with tbe Freehold (N. J.) Gun Club The two Piercys, 
"ather and son, and Ed Taylor wei-e among the notable absentees. 
The match took place on the grounds of tbe Freehold Gun Club to- 
lay, the Endeavor's representatives leaving Jersey Ciiy on the 11:30 
rain. On their arrival in Freehold they were met by Messrs. Henry 
)avies and J Laird, delegates from the home club^ who conducted 
he visitors to a restaurant, where a dinner was set before them, tbe 
risitors' money being refused at the cashier's desk. This hospitable 
reatment was a fair sample of what they received at the hands of 
rtieir hosts diu-mg their stay in Freehold; a stay that was prolonged 
•ather more than usual, owing to the change in the time table, that 
lOOk place to day, being overlooked. This neglect necessitated a drive 
>y moonlight to Mailawan, where a train was boarded. 
The teams of six men shot at 50 targets ijer man, 300 to the team, 
freehold scored 249, an average of 83 per cent. The Endeavors" 
■verage was 77.3, or a33 breaks out of 300. The score for trie series 
i£ ttu-ee matches stands one and one, each cUib having won on its 
iwn grounds. The rubber will be shot on. neutral grounds at some 
tear date. Scores folio w :

Dr. W. P. Browif, secretary of the Itasca Gun Club, Qr^nd Rapids, 
Minn,, writes us as follows: ''Some time since, I mailed you a postal 
card stating that 'There will be a hot time in Grand Rapids, Itasca 
county, on Oct. 39-30, 1897.' 1 now wish to state that the Itasoa Gun 
Club will hold its first annual tournament on the above named dates. 
We will try and give to the sportsmen that attend a royal good time, 
not only at the tournament, which has a goodly number of prizes 
offered, as well as a large amount of added money; but after the 
second day's sport is over, those who are anxious to kill a deer or 
moose wiU have an excellent opportunity to do so, as our new law 
allows tbe kilhng of antlered moose or caribou from Nov. 5-10, 1897. 
Any person de.«iring any information relative to the shoot, or to the 
hunting and fishing in Itasca coimty, or in any of the surrounding 
country, may obtain the same upon addressing the Secretary, Icasca 
Gua Club, Grand Rapids, Minnesota."
