Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, .Ma., April 26. —No shooting has been 
done for four weeks past at the Birmingham Gun Club, 
owing to the fact that the grounds have been used for 
the aviation meet and automobile show. Shooting will 
now go on as usual each Friday afternoon. John Philip 
Sousa was with us again, having returned with the 
Birmingham shooters from the Mississippi State shoot 
to spend a few days in Birmingham. 
John Fletcher made high score for the day. Gentry 
Hillman shot well. Sousa broke his gun in the first 
event and shot away below his average in consequence. 
The Alabama State shoot is registered for Aug. 6 and
