A. N. Clemmer 41, J. Johnson 41. The ties on 42 were

perfect score of 4§ in the first event, one second ana 
one third; Matthews two seconds, one third; Johnson 
one first, three seconds and one third; Lesher two 
firsts, one third; Izor three thirds. Izor was hanai- 
capped by a lame arm or he would have made a better 
showing. The club voted to change the rules governing 
the medal contest, so that hereafter the member win¬ 
ning it three times in succession, instead of five times, 
will become owner of the medal. To-day’s win was 
the second this year for McBride. All shooting was 
offhand at 100yds., center count 12. 
Death of Daniel B. Wesson. 
The famous inventor and manufacturer of rifles and 
revolvers, Daniel Baird Wesson, died at Springfield, 
Mass., on Aug. 4. He had been in ill health almost 
four years; but the immediate cause of death was heart 
failure, superinduced by neuritis. He was born in 
Springfield, Mass., and from his skill as an inventor, in¬ 
tegrity and business ability, he amassed an immense 
fortune, estimated at $50,000,000 at the time of his death. 
He was of a broad, philanthropic character, as two hos¬ 
pitals which he endowed in Springfield, attest. He was 
the founder of the famous firm of Smith & Wesson, 
whose products reach every nook of the world. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Among the things which add to the comfort of a 
camping trip is anything that will improve one’s food. 
It is true that while we are in camp we always have that 
best of sauces, hunger; but nevertheless a few bottles 
of Brand’s Al Sauce will add to the delights of a meal, 
and he who has used it in camp will be quite sure there¬ 
after to use it in his home. 
BLACK ART IN ANOTHER FORM. 
A German gtleman and his young son Fritz were on 
an express train bound for the seashore. 
While Fritz was snoozing, his father, who occupied 
the window seat, snatched his cap and seemingly threw 
it out of the open window. 
“Aha,” the joking father said, “your cap is on de out¬ 
side. Never mind, Fritzy, I’ll vistle und it will come on 
de inside again mit quickness.’ 
The father whistled and, at the same moment, deftly 
placed the cap on his attentive son’s head. Fritz was 
speechless. He pulled off his head covering and gazed 
at it in wonder, and at his paterfamilias in deep admira¬ 
tion for several minutes. 
As the train neared a bridge, the little chap was in¬ 
spired. Leaning far out of the open window, he dropped 
the cap, and turning to.his dad confidently, said, “Vistle, 
fadder.”—August Lippincott’s. 
An Elizabeth, N. J., minister was illustrating 
some point by the loading and discharge of a gun. 
Describing the process, he accompanied his words 
by a highly realistic pantomime performance, 
first pouring into the muzzle of his imaginary 
gun the powder, then putting in a wad, the shot, 
and wads again, “ramming her home” every time, 
then withdrawing the ramrod, he put on the cap, 
raised the gun to his shoulder, sighted along the 
barrels, and, turning suddenly to his audience, 
exclaimed, “And now, what do I do next?” 
“Pull the trigger!” shouted a small boy in a 
front pew. 
“Eli pull your trigger for you, you little 
wretch,” said the disconcerted clergyman, drop¬ 
ping his arms and shaking his finger threaten¬ 
ingly at the offending urchin. Meat-Hawk. 
James C., a genial son of Erin, is fond of 
shooting, and the best manufacturer of mid¬ 
range hyperbole that I ever saw. He will tell a 
story elaborately frescoed with improbabilities, 
and every corner decorated with impossibilities, 
with an air of persuasive sincerity that would 
cause a man to hate himself for presuming to 
doubt it. He says “the first sugar hogshead he 
ever saw reminded him so much of his mother’s 
churn that he shed tears.” One day a hawk 
alighted near the house and his son took the gun, 
crawled within gunshot, fired and missed. 
“Why didn’t you kill the howck?” queried the 
father. 
“The gun’s no good,” answered the junior 
James. 
“Y'e’r a liar, Jatnesie, it’s yew that’s no good. 
Ye can’t tell me anything about that gun. Sure, 
I’ve known her since she was a pishtol.”
