A correspondent writes us as follows: “As several of 
the gun clubs around New York have announced that 
during the months of July and August their grounds will 
be closed, on Saturday afternoons, Manager I. H. Ter¬ 
rill wishes to remind the shooters that the grounds of 
the South Side Gun Club on New Jersey Railroad, 
avenue, Newark, N. J., are open every Saturday after- 
noon, thus carrying out a rule that has obtained since 
the club was organized a half-century ago. Targets are 
thrown at one cent each, and all shooters are welcome.”' 
A team match has been fixed to take place between i 
ten-man teams of the Montclair and Newton, N. J., 
gun clubs, on the grounds of the former.
