West Fatrvlew Gon Club. 
WtfeT FairView, Pa., Aug. 1.— West Fairview Gurl Cliib was 
fecferitly organizfcd, arid urider theit anspides trapshootillg here 
has begun to booMl. This is the new club's first tournament, and 
the members are well ple&sed with the fesult. Over thirty-three 
shooters participated. Most of the shooters dame ffom Columbia 
alid HarHsburg. Some of the most noted were Messrs. J. R. 
Hull, L. J. Squiet and Frank Lawrence. 
.The representativ'es of the Harrisburg Shooting Association, 
Warden Brothers, and Secretary Roberts, arrived on the gtetinds 
late, but they shot in the last event of the regular programme, and 
also in several of the special events. 
Mr. E. D. Hatfield, the very active secretary of the Fairview 
Gim Club, is one of the club's best shots, and as an amateur, is 
hard to beat. The most attractive shooter, however, was Miss 
May, who shot remarkably well, this being here first public ap- 
pearance as a ti-ap shot. 
The feature of the daj' was the team match between Columbia, 
Pa., and West Fairview. The home club was victorious. 
The return match will be held on Labor Day, at the tourna- 
ment to be held in Columbia bj' the Columbia Gun Club. The 
members of the latter expect then to make a better showing. 
The programme had a total of 160 targets. The scores follow:

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind., July 29. — The fact that the club house of 
the Indianapolis Gun Club was wrecked by a wind storm Friday 
night, July 17, when about half finished, thereby delaying its 
completion at least ten days, together with the fact that the 
Indiana, State Fair is held at Indianapolis during the week of 
Sept. 14-19, at which time the hotels are uncomfortably crowded, 
made it imperative that the date of their dedication shoot be 
altered. 
The Rensselaer Gun Club has generously agreed to exchange 
dates with them, and this letter is to officially notify you of this 
fact. 
The Rensselaer (Ind.) Gun Club will hold their shoot Wednes- 
day and Thursday, Sept. 16 and 17. The Indianapolis Gun Club 
will hold their first and dedication shoot the week following, 
Tuesday, W§dqesday and Thursday, Sept. 22, 23 and 24. 
W, B. Allen, Secretary. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Aug. 1. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the' first shoot of the third 
series. Pollard carried off the honors in Class A by making a 
straight score of 25. C. P. Richards and Dr. Meek were right 
after him with 24 each. Wilson won Class B on 19, and Kehl 
Class C on 15. 
A strong head wind made the targets extremely erratic in flight 
and the shooting very difficult. The good scores were remarkable 
under the conditions. The day and weather in all other respects 
were ideal. Attendance fairly good, fifteen shooters showing up 
for the afternoon's sport.

t)Oft Ckrb for August came off to-day on the club grounds. A 
new feature has been adopted, The semu-HTonthly shoots for the

each class at every shoot, the winner to own the spoon.

with 20, after shooting off a tie with Foster.- Class B was won 
by Reynolds with 20. Class C by Bargar with 9. The shooting

Crude Drugs From a New Source. 
A number of common plants, occurring in some eases as weeds, 
furnish, when properly collected and cured, crude drugs such 
as are now imported in large part from Europe and elsewhere. 
The f^iireau of Plant Industry of the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture is now engaged in the preparation of a Farmers' Bulletin 
jicinting out the desirability of satisfying the demand^ for these 
drugs from domestic sources. The bulletin will contain descrip- 
tions and cuts of the plants, and methods of collecting, handling 
and curing will be given. 
In order to increase the effectiveness of the bulletin it is 
thought necessai'y to bring the prospective collector in touch with, 
buyers. Therefore circular letters are being sent to dealers in 
drugs asking if they wish to be included in the list of firms to 
whom the Bureau is authorized to direct those -sv'ishing to submit 
samples and get prices. 
Hardly any article is so universally needed by the out-doori 
man as a good field glass, and the field glasses of to-day are yery^ 
different from those of a few years back. The Hensoldt is a 
one-prism field and marine glass, very highly thought of in Ger- 
many, Russia and England. Messrs. \^on Lengerke & Dctmold" 
are the sole agents for the United States.
