The attendance at the Crawfordsville tournament, March 23 and 
24, was not as large as was anticipated, owing to the bad weather 
which prevailed for some days previous. 
The club has grounds containing about eight acres and all con- 
veniences for accommodating a crowd. The grounds are within a 
short walk of the center of the city. Mr. John Dietrich is super- 
intendent, and performs his duties well. Dinner was served each 
day in the club house by Mrs. Dietrich, who is noted for her ex- 
ceptional qualities as a culinary artist. 
The targets were thrown at least 60yds, and, aided by the wind, 
v.ere so swift that few were centered, and many were badly dusted. 
There were no comjslaints of "easy targets" at this tournament, as 
has httn the case betimes in the past. 
Match 23, First Day. 
The first day was dark and windy. Twenty-eight shooters took 
part, twelve shooting the entire programme of 215 targets. Wig- 
gins was high gun with 192. Lord second with 190. Moeller and 
Head thud with 187 each. .Scores:

Worcester Sportsmen's Clob, 
Worcester, Mass., March 24.— At the annual election of the 
Worcester Sportsmen's Club, which was held last evening, at my 
office, the following officers were elected: President, E. C. A. 
Becker; First Vice-President, Dr. J. M. Stanley; Second Vice- 
President, George Williams; Secretary, Harry M. Winchester; 
Treasurer, F. S. Blanchard. 
To act in connection with these on the executive committee , 
Messrs. E. F. Dakin, F. A. Blake, J. A. Underwood, H. E. 
Jaques. 
The report of the treasurer for the past year showed that the 
club had cleared up their entire debt of about $250, which it had' 
a year ago paid; $100 in prizes were paid at one of their shoots 
this season, and that it has a little .money in the treasury at the'' 
present time, with not a dollar of indebtedness. We hope during 
the present year to get the club into active working order as 
soon as possible, and expect to have quite a successful season^ 
of it. 
As this is the beginning of our business year, and I am ex- 
ceedingly anxious that the club shall be a success during the 
season, any suggestions that your might offer whereby we can 
promote the interests of the club will be most thankfully re- 
ceived. E. C. A. Becker.

"The Common Sense of Dog Doctoring," issued by Spratts 
Patent (America), Limited, 450 Market street, Newark, N. J., 
is now presented in revised and enlarged form; price 25 cents. 
It contains 166 pages, divided into 31 chapters, which treat of 
every ill with which the dog is afflicted. Concerning it the pub- 
lishers in the preface state as follows: "In the following pages 
it will be found that in prescribing, we have given our own 
medicine the first place. This is natural and logical, seeing that 
we firmly believe that our preparations are to-day the best Tn the 
world. We have, however, usually given an alternative prescrip-.., 
tion, and this is always one of known and tried value." ThereS 
are chapters on the dog as a household, pet, sporting dogs and'^; 
training, greyhounds and their management, etc. 1; 
The Lefever Arms Co. ejector gun won high amateur average 
for both live birds and targets at the Interstate shoot held'at"

Lefever, broke 340 cut cf 3C5 targets, and also won high amateur 
:.verage at live buds. Send for their handsome 1904 illustrated

taining valuable hints on loading and shooting.
