Bernard Waters. 
At Rogers Springs. 
Rogers Springs, Tenn., Aug. 22.—When I found that 
on account of business arrangements I would be unable 
to give myself the pleasure of attending the little shoot 
given by the guests of the Rustic Inn at Rogers .Springs, 
Tenn., Aug. 19, I was inclined to consider myself among 
the most unfortunate of mortals, but when, “just to 
show me what I had missed,” the boys sent me a copy 
of the scores made on that occasion, there flashed 
through my cloud of disappointment a certain spark of 
consolation that brightened things up considerably, for if 
you will glance at the following scores you can readily 
see what they would have done to me had I been 
present.

Chas. W. Gardiner, Pres. 
Sioux Falls Shooting Club. 
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 27.—From the standpoint of 
numbers, our shoot was not a big success, neither from 
the scores made, as a side wind, amounting to almost a 
hurricane, prevented any high scores.
