The first match for the handsome challenge cup was 
shot last Tuesday evening at the gallery. As usual 
when we have anything special, the event was accom¬ 
panied by a howling northeaster, which kept the attend¬ 
ance down to eight, only five of whom turned in scores. 
With a roaring fire and a heap of fun, all enjoyed the 
event, and no opportunity was lost to create some amuse- 
ment. . 
Lieut. Miller started the scoring with a big 90, and 
while counting up his score and growing dizzy over the 
looks of the group shot, was privately decorated with a 
huge Sportsman’s Show button, which he wore through 
the evening between his shoulder blades. 
A. C. appeared in the drizzle. He appeared chiefly 
because he was obliged to bring out the trophy. Weep¬ 
ing copiously, either from thought of losing the cup or 
effects of the weather, right wrist and arm bandaged 
like an ancient trotter, he was, it is hinted, the immediate 
victim of conspirators. A little unknown elevation of a 
revolver sight and presto, how the scores drop. He com¬ 
menced hitting the top of the target and scored a 62. 
That settled his position. A. C., however, has the utmost 
confidence in his shooting companions, except in the 
matter of collecting dues, and ignored any suggestion on 
the part of sympathizers that he might possibly do better 
if he changed his sights. The next score was a trifle 
better, and the third, after a searching investigation and 1 
considerable change, brought forth nine bulls out of the 
ten, with a score that eased the conscience of any one 
who might be responsible. 
Parkhurst, of course shot his usually steady gait and 
won the cup this week, beating Miller, the next best .score 
by three points. He was immediately challenged by the 
bunch for a match next Tuesday night, and there are 
several who have an idea they are going to be fortunate 
enough to have the trophy in their possession the follow¬ 
ing week. 
The game is going to keep the boys hustling, and the 
man who holds the cup the required four months is a 
good one. 
Conditions, 30 consecutive shots at 20yds.; revolver- 
allowed two points per ten shot string over target pis 
tols- Best 30-shot score to take trophy, subject to chal¬ 
lenge from any member within one week, match to be 
open to all members, and distance at option of chal 
lenger.
