great value, not only to all yachtsmen, but to the business

to do with the yachting world. The work has been most 
carefully compiled, is handsomely gotten up and should

"regulars." Therefore, we extend a cordial invitation to all lovers 
of trapshooting to join us on the above dates for a general good 
time. We have elegant grounds and a fine club house right beside 
the electric road, and will endeavor to make our guests glad that 
they came. Programmes are now out and ready tor distribution.

Mr. Cohron writes us that "present indications point to bring- 
ing together more colored shooters at our coming shoot than ever

Mr. Oswald Von Lengerke. of the firm of Von Lengerke & 
Antcine, Chicago, 111., was a visitor in the gun district of New 
York on Monday of this week. A smooth shave gave him much 
the appearance of a prosperous bishop, so much so that many 
of his friends for a moment after meeting him were uncertain 
of his identity. He mentioned that shooting matters were active 
about Chicago. Mr. Vnn Lengerke. while modest in respect to 
his trap shooting abilities, is an expert of rare skill.

Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 12.— J. J. H. and S. G. were shooting in a 
25-target race, one man up, five unknown trajjs, J. J. H. Irad 20 
straight and S. G. had 19, five men to shoot. S. G. bet $1 to $10 
with J. J. H. that he would beat hiw. T. J. H. r'is'^«d h;^ la.'-t 
target. S. G. got nis last 5 straight, making a tie. S. G. claims it 
was a draw. Money was paid to J. J. II., as he claimed that S. G. 
did not beat him, but tied. 
Where will a letter reach Sim Glover? Falstaff. 
[tn the old days,, when the trapshooting world accepted its 
rulings from the horse-racing world, it was held that a tie divided, 
regardless of the special agreement. Thus it was held that, if A 
declared he would beat Pi, the latter, who was passive, was assumed 
to take the active converse of the proposition— that is. that he would 
beat A. The modern rulings have been modified, at times. The 
proposition is as follows: S. G. bets that he will beat T. J. H. 
Did he beat J. J. II.? He did not. lie therefore lost. "A letter 
addressed to S. Glover, care Von Lengerke; & Detmold, 318 Broad- 
way, New York, will reacli him.l
