ber of times he was challenged for same. There were 
many good scores made. Rogers, Taylor and Sens made 
first 50 straight. Hubby and Connerly 49; others 48, 
and when Connerly went the last 50 straight and made 
99, it was thought he had won. But some one dis- 
covered that there was another man in the last squad 
who was “making hay.” Mr. Otto Sens ran out the 75 
straight, and then there did appear to be a chance for 100 
straight. All eyes were upon him at the last round, and 
on he went, centering every one until he got the 99th, 
which fell unbroken. He smashed the last one, and then 
there was a tie on with Connerly with the great score 
of 99. 
They were called out at once to the score to shoot at 
-° targets. The crowd all gathered around trap 2. 
Both men are well known, genial, clean sportsmen. It 
was ascertained that each were shooting the same make 
of gun, yet each^ had a different shell, loaded with 
different powder. _ This of course caused a lot of anxiety 
among the traveling men present representing their vari¬ 
ous companies. Mr. Sens was first to shoot, and he did 
not center his target well, while Connerly did his - up in 
the most positive manner. There is much difference 
'-vr * r" st .yl e of shooting, especially in getting ready. 
Mr. Sens is much more deliberate in his preparations 
before he puts his gun to his shoulder. Connerly 
presses gun up quickly, humps his shoulder and shoots 
quick and centers targets very accurately. On the shoot 
went until the 21st target, which Connerly missed, and 
as both broke straight, there was a tie on 24. 
* Second Tie.—They went at it strong, and neither 
made a skip until the 21st round, when Sens dusted his 
hard, but the referee said “Lost.” Connerly now had 
but to break four more to win, but thereby hangs the 
tale. When the gun cracked the target did not break, 
and the referee quickly called, “Lost.” The target did 
not go more than about 15 feet when it broke and sev- 
era! pieces fell out of it, which the referee did not see, 
neither did Mr. Connerly, as he turned his head to 
laugh at his missing following Sens. They finished 
• with 24, by counting this one of Connerly’s lost. There 
was a claim made for this target, but the referee would 
not allow it. 
The incident proved the cleanness of this sport, and 
illustrated to all present the good fellowship of the con¬ 
testants. Mr. Sens here insisted that the target be 
given to Mr. Connerly, as he was thus entitled to the 
cup, out Mr. Connerly would not have it so, and he, 
insisted on the shoot progressing, and that Sens should 
get a box cf shells and continue the shoot. 
So at it they went again for the third string of 25 
All went steady up to the 20th. It was biff—dead, etc.; 
but here Sens skipped one, and the very next shot 
Connerly lost, and as both pulled together they tied the 
third time on 24 
Fourth Tie.—Nothing doing this time on the black¬ 
board but all straight lines, and a tie on 25. 
Fifth Tie.—Sens went through to the end, and all 
were dead, dead. dead. Not so with Connerlv. He 
•dusted the third one hard, but it was not scored'by the 
referee, and the greatest shoot ever decided in Texas 
was at an end. 
Shooting at 225 targets, Mr. Sens had scored 221, and 
Mr. Connerlv 220. Scores;

Lebanon Valley Shooting Association. 
Lebanon, Pa., Jan. 24.—The complimentary shoot 
given in honor of Lester German dnd W. H. Heer was 
pulled off this day with perfect weather conditions, but 
the sad news received at a late hour announcing the 
illness of Mr. German, produced keen disappointment. 
It also hurt the attendance, as many of the shooters in 
certain sections knew' of this fact and expected a post¬ 
ponement. Mr. L. R. Lewis, of Atglen, Pa., was also 
to attend, but sickness prevented. These two gentle¬ 
men have our heartfelt sympathy. Mr. Harold Money 
won high professional average. H. B. Barr, of Lan¬ 
caster, won the amateur class. G. S. Trafford won the 
gold locket offered by the management, by making 43 
out of 50. Scores follow:

Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
