Lehigh Valley Shooting Association. 
Allentown, Pa., Feb. 22.—Twenty-five shooters pre¬ 
sented themselves on the grounds on Washington’s Birth¬ 
day. Good scores were made, considering the high wind. 
John L. Englert, of Catasauqua, was high gun, making 
four ringers. Heil Jarrett and Reiser each made a 
“googo-eye.” Kramlich will have to brace up; he didn’t 
get a single straight. Charlie, wake up. Mr. Straub 
kept in close touch with Englert, only 10 behind him. 
't'ery well, boys, we will all do better next time. 
Miss Frankenfield could not be with ns to-day. We 
wish her success for the future.

Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa.—Mr. Lee Wertz, vice-president of the 
Hercules Gun Club, the well-known amateur, attended the 
shoot at Pleasantville, I’a., and won the heavy bull as 
first prize, with Ambrose Moyer for the Temple team. 
The members of the Hercules Gun Club were kept 
busy the last few days, as they erected a 12 by 20ft. 
club house on their grounds, on Cotopaxin Swamp, to 
accommodate the shooters for the live-bird shoot on 
Saturday. Plenty of good strong birds are ready, await¬ 
ing for the sportsmen to say “pull.” We trust you will 
invite your lady friends to come with you to this shoot. 
All dead birds belong to the shooters. Shoot starts 
at 12:30 P. M. Class shooting, 21 to 30yds. rise. The 
traps will be in charge of Jacob W. Rahn, field captain. 
Come early in the day. A good hot, substantial din¬ 
ner is served by Treasurer Wm. Brunner, at the Temple 
Hotel. We extend a most cordial invitation to all lovers 
of live-bird shooting to attend this shoot. Anybody is 
welcome to shoot for birds only, and thus secure plenty 
for a good potpie. A. K. Ludwig.

may be used, but where a boat of the other sort cannot,
