Providence, R. I.—With each week end bringing on< 
or more of the old regulars into line, things com 
mence to assume their fall aspect, and will soon be ir 
full swing. 
The U. S. R. A. matches stirred us up some, and 
brought out four entries in Match B, W. H. Freemar 
leading the bunch with 461, which we hope will place 
him near the ton. Freeman started his score in good 
form, but fell off some after his first two strings, and 
fished many points behind his oractice scores. Being 
a Massachusetts man, he was ineligible for State honors 
so W. Almv took first in these, with W. N. Willard e 
close second. 
Hub Miller had the meanest kind of luck all th e waj 
through, and his score is far below his capabilities. 
Srores were as follows:

objects can dog the action. This solid top pre- \
