Spencer, la., Line 27. —The weather conditions were 
ideal and a more successful event would be hard to 
pull off. One interesting feature of the shoot was the 
work of J. Becker, a boy just in his teens—first day, 
133; second day, 120, using a dram load, which 
seemed to jar the boy some. 
High average went to Porter White and W. S. 
IToon, who tied for the honors, with S. A. Huntley a 
close second; Frank Campbell next closely followed by 
Wm. Ridley. In the specials, Ridley, Huntley and 
Harker carried off the honors.

Mulberry Grove Gun Club. 
Independence Day brought only a dozen shooters 
out, nearby celebrations and the intense heat being the 
chief causes for the lack of interest displayed over the 
only “celebration” we boast of. Much enthusiasm, 
however, was “on tap” throughout the largest crowd of 
spectators that has ever witnessed any of our previous 
shoots. The afternoon’s shooting was featured by E. E. 
Pages’ straight, and the shooting of J. Banks. The 
latter caused quite a little comment because of the fact 
that he waited so long before shooting, the target some¬ 
times being almost on the ground when his gun would 
speak. Luck figured largely in his score. The comedy 
of his shoot was, "Watching the unfamiliar gun ‘kick 
him off the boards’ every time he shot, and his giving 
vent to his feelings immediately following the rough 
treatment.” Scores:
