s niie manner. He did so, and the boat then again rose to 
tlie surface, supporting the three of us. 
If anyone has a canoe, and doubts this statement, let 
him try it the next time he goes in bathing, because I 
Irive never yet seen a boat, not even a canvas-covered 
Oldtown canoe, which are so very Hghtly built, that would 
not do this. If our canoe friends and others who use 
crmoes would only try this experiment, and when it was 
];roven to them, explain it to their friends ; and also if 
those pepole who rent small boats would explain it to 
those who hire boats from them, I think a few lives 
ri:ight be saved. Never have I heard of a person being 
tlrowned from a canoe where they have attempted to fol- 
low any such suggestion as the above, and on many occa- 
sions a fatal result has come from attempting tO' reach 
tlie shore by leaving the boat and swimming.

Brownsville, Pa., May 27.— The third shoot of the Western 
Pennsylvania Trapshooters' League took place on the ground of 
the Brownsville Gun Club at Brownsville, Pa., May 25 and 26. 
The shooters were favored with very fine weather; still the first 
day was quite warm, but it did not interfere in any way with the 
boys enjoying themselves. 
The Pittsburg party was in great luck, being invited by Mr. 
Painter to make the trip in his fast steam yacht, Wauneta. It is 
needless to say that they enjoyed themselves.

most of them shooting through the programme of 175 targets. 
Shooters were present from Pittsburg, Irvin, McKeesport, Mones- 
sen, Greensburg, Charleroi, Masontown, Belle Vernon, Pa., also

The entry list at third tournament of the season held by the 
Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters' Leagvie at this place was not 
as large as was expected, and the local club was very much dis- 
appointed. It is thought that a great many shooters didn't attend 
because we added an extra point to the division of moneys, making 
five moneys in 15, and six in the 20-target events. Perhaps the 
winners didn't pull down as much as they would with a less num- 
ber of points, but those that were here were here for the gentle- 
manly sport, and not for the coin. Mr. Frank Orr compiled the 
scores, and acted as cashier to the entire satisfaction of all.

ensuing year: President, Harry L. Hawes; Vice-President, 
Edward O. Bagg; Secretary-Treasurer, C. L. Kites; Executive 
Committee, H. L. Hawes, D. N. Coats, Edward A. Nelson. 
The following were elected to membership in the' club: T. H. 
Baldwin, Abraham Snow. E. L. Mott, Emil K. Janser, W. H- 
Snow, E. J. Lyman, Frank Eaton, E. H. Lathrop, E. S. Brad- 
ford, Jr., and W. E. Parsons. Resignation of Arthur C. Merritt 
was accepted. 
It was voted to change the conditions regulating the badge 
contest, which the club is running, so as to have the high gun 
at each shoot wear the badge until the next shoot, rather than 
having the one making the highest scores wear it until his score 
was beaten, or tied. In this way the badge will change from one 
member to another oftener. The final disposition of the badge 
to be, as before— i. e., the one making the highest average during 
the season for the 250 targets shot at in badge contests, has the 
badge for his own personal property. The interest in this badge- 
contest is very m.arked, many competing for it who have not done 
any trapshooting for years. Misfire.
