There passed through the Barge Office yesterday a family that 
created some curiosity. It was that of Moises V. Ponce, a 
Peruvian; his wife, Francesca, and four little boys. The family 
arrived from Para on the Red Cross steamship Maranheuse. 
Ponce's home is in Iquitos, a town on the eastern slope of the 
Andes. He and his family wanted to go to Truxillo, on the 
coast of Peru, but between his home and his objective point lay 
the Andes. There being no railroad and the way being extremely 
rough on beasts of burden. Ponce decided to go by boat down 
the Amazon to Para, thence by steamship to New York, and thence 
by steamship again to Colon. After crossing the isthmus by rail, 
the family will board a coast steamer at P.inama and continue 
their journey to Truxillo. The distance between Ponce's home 
and Truxillo is only 400 miles, but by the way he has chosen he 
will have traveled 9,000 miles by the time he reaches his destina- 
tion.— New York Times.

Dexter Park, Nov. 28.— At the regular monthly shoot of (lie Hell 
Gate Gun Club there were no less than thirty-eight men' to face 
the traps. The birds were a fine, strong lot, and flew well, con- 
sidering there was hardly a breath of wind stirring. Of the club 
members. President John H. Voss. Conrad Webber and H. Foster 
made straight scores, notwithstanding they were standing at the 
30yds. mark. Jolin Schlicht ought to have had a clean score, as 
his last bird was a comparatively easy right-quarterer. The only 
theory to be advanced for his missing it is that there is an old custorii 
in this club that every man making a straight score has what is 
known as an "apple jack" on him, which means he is supposed to 
call all the boys in, and there and then "throw up his hat," 
which is sometimes quite expensive. President Voss was inclined 
to fine him $1, but relented after chafing him good-naturedly. Of 
the guests, that crack revolver shot and promising gun shot. Dr. 
Ashly A. Webber, killed his 10 straight, using only one barrel on 
the first 8. This young man is bound to rise to the front rank 
of wing shots in this country ere long, he being a perfect gentleman 
in his actions and demeanor, quite unassuming and ever ready 
to do anything to oblige a fellow shooter. The scores:

Soo Gun Club. 
SiotJX CtTY, la,, Nov. 22.— The Soo Gun Club's two days' live- 
bird and target tournament closed to-day. The first day's weather 
was miserable— damp, foggy, and at times a drizzling rain fell. The 
birds were slow and sluggish, but hard to see on account of the 
dull weather, and shooting was therefore difficult. The winners on 
the first day were: 
First event. 7 live birds: Budd, Saxton, Saunders, Bray and 
Glisman 7 each. Second event, 15 targets: Robertson 15. Third 
event, 15 targets: Gilbert 15. Fourth event, 10 live birds; Budd, 
Shaw, Milner, Boyd, 10 each. 
The second day's weather conditions were first class. The sun 
remained hidden behind clouds just enough to make the light right. 
The birds were a good lot. The winners were: 
First event, 7 live birds: Budd, Klein, Glisman, Halla, Peterson, 
O'Brien, Leech, 7 each. Second event, 15 targets, Peterson, 15. 
Third event, 15 targets: Klein, Gilbert, 14 each. Fourth event, 10 
live birds: Burk, Gilbert, Milner, Gorman, 10 each. Fifth event, 15

J. A. Perkins, Pres. 
Springfield Shootiag Club. 
Springfield, Mass., Dec. 1.— Since the opening of the bird 
season the club house of the Springfield, Mass., Shooting Club 
has been but little visited by members, but Thanksgiving morn- 
ing the .doors and windows were thrown- open and a very en- 
joyable shoot was held, which will doubtless be followed by. 
more special and regular meets. Most of the members who turned 
out on that occasion are well-known trapshooters. Among them 
were Messrs. Merritt, Jordan, Coats, Hatch and Eaton, of Spring- 
field, and Dr. Egbert, of Holyoke. The events consisted of 
regular sweeps at singles and doubles, incomers and "flyovers," 
and of sharpening the teeth and .appetites for turkey dinners on 
certain refreshments provided by generous .Mr. Coats. The <ilub 
intends to hoi" a short, snappy, open shoot Christmas morning 
for sweepstakes and a turkey. Neighboring sportsmen who 
enjoy shooting over a magautrap on exceptionally fine ground.^ 
should bear this in mind. J. H. E.
