There will be $200 added money, of which $175 will be given to 
shooters of 73 to 80 per cent, skill. The purses will be divided 
four moneys. Rose system, while the Florists' Club will add 
money for fifth place. There will be high and low daily and gen- 
eral average money for the three days. A tax purse will be pro- 
vided for those who shoot through the programme and fail to draw 
back their entrance fee. 
The Florists' Gun Club have the finest shooting grounds in the 
State of Pennsylvania. The magautraps are run by electric 
motors, which guarantees a steady flight of all targets. The 
background is all sky and water, and every target the regulation 
height. For the speed handicap the shooters will be divided into 
three classes. Class A will shoot at targets thrown 60yds. ; Class 
B, 50yds.; and Class C, 40yds. 
Any shooter who has not received a programme can secure one 
by addressing V. V. Dorp, 2728 N. 12th street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Pleasant Hill, Mo., Sept. 9. — I send y«u under separate cover 
programme of our shoot to be held in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 6 
and 7, which, from the present outlook, will be the greatest gath- 
ering of the colored tribe of the scatter gun on record, for 
shooters have already promised to be on hand from different, 
places iH Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, Indian Territory 
and Iowa. 
Kansas City has the distinction of having on record the 
largest attendance both at live birds and targets of any other 
place among the Anglo-Saxon tribe. As aforesaid, there is no 
doubt but ihat our coming shoot will elclipse any on record 
among the colored tribe. So you will greatly oblige us if you 
will help us advertise this shoot by speaking of this programme 
through your columns, and urgently emphasizing upon the fact 
that there is no reason why that every colored lover of trap- 
shooting should not try and make it a point to attend this shoot. 
T. H. CoHRON, Sec'y. 
Howard Ridge. 
Sportsmen in general, and trapshooters in particular, will feel 
a sense of grievous loss in the death of Howard Ridge, of Phil- 
adelphia. His death was caused by congestion of the brain, 
from which he suffered during two or three weeks prior to hig 
death on Sept. 11, at his home in Frankford, Philadelphia. He 
was fifty-five years old, and during many years of his life he 
was an expert shell loader for Messrs. E. K. Tryon & Co., Phila- 
delphia. He was famous as a high class shooter with rifle and 
shotgun. At the traps he was considered in the front rank of 
shooters at either pigeons or targets. He was of a gentle and 
generous disposition, sterling in character, and to know him 
was to bestow on him one's esteem and affection. His family 
consisted of his wife, two daughters and a son. 
Pocahontas had just married John Rolfe. 
"What a mesalliance!" cried the squaws, " the blooming Brit- 
isher hasn't even, got a title, doncherknow!" 
Clearly, the first American girl had failed to come up to her 
opportunities. — The Sun. - ,
