Y'oast was adjudged winner. 
The Rod and Gun Club of Springfield, Mass., went out to shoot 
at a mark. They were eating, drinking, and firing at a tin cup set 
on a wall, when a shabbily-dressed old fellow sauntered np to the 
party. They took him for the owner of thc place, and asked the 
privilege of continuing the sport, cordially inviting him in lieu of 
recompense to join them in their refreshment. The man graciously 
complied, and after he had greedily filled himself with choice viands 
and liquor and gone away, they learned that he was only a tramp. 
The real owner of the ground then appeared and drove them off.—
