Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N, J., May 6 . — Quite a field turned 
out this afternoon to shoot for the spoon given monthly, 
and Dr. Watson had the pleasure of “toting” same home 
with him, winning out by one target. Scores:

Overbaugh, Lloyd Lewis and Lawrence were with us, 
and Overbaugh and Lewis both made exceptionally high 
scores, considering the wild flight of the targets, caused 
by a strong northwest wind. 
Without a doubt the New Jersey State shoot, to be 
shot here June 1 to 4 inclusive, will prove to be the 
largest State shoot in the United States; we have $325 in 
cash and $900 in merchandise and trophies, beside the 
sweepstake feature. The sweeps will be $2.00 on each 
event, nothing deducted for targets, divided Rose sys¬ 
tem, 5, 3, 2. 
This tournament is to be shot on Young’s ocean pier, 
the home of the famous “Westy Hogans,” which is 
enough to insure q large attendance, as any one who has 
ever shot under such conditions will strain every means 
of attending this event. The bathing will be at the best, 
and everybody will be given an opportunity of taking 
a dip daily. 
The complete program of this shoot will be printed 
in this paper in the next issue, in detail. 
Programs are now ready and can be had by addressing 
A. H. Sheppard, Secretary, 1218 Atlantic avenue.

Manito Gun Club. 
Manito, Ill., April 25.—The weather conditions were 
unfavorable for the shoot, April 22, a high wind pre¬ 
vailed, accompanied with rain and snow, which, coming 
in the face of the shooters, was anything but pleasant, 
and after shooting 130, it was concluded to wait for the 
next day and continue, but the second day was even 
worse than the first, with the mercury dropping to 6 
degrees below freezing, so the shoot was declared off, 
and will probably be repeated later. 
Had conditions been favorable, we would have had a 
fine shoot, as many more would have come, and the 
scores show the shooters were on their mettle, and 
competition would have been keen, and no one being 
sure high until the last shot was fired. 
We have first rate grounds, but were unprepared for 
such weather. Uncle Jim Head cashiered the shoot, and 
his services were appreciated, and he he has the club’s 
thanks. Come again. Uncle. 
The scores will show who “enjoyed” the privilege of 
being with us. The scores would read much better with 
more favorable conditions.

The Grand Island Gun Club. 
Grand Island, Neb., May 1.— The Grand Island Gun 
Club held a practice shoot on May 1. A strong wind 
was blowing, and the targets flew very irregularly, yet 
some fair scores were made, especially by the newest 
member, a Democrat by trade—Bob he is generally 
called—and with his Christian name, Evans, but unlike 
his great namesake, “Fighting Bob” Evans, he could 
not get there, which in turn compares very favorably 
with another Democrat who could not get there either. 
A remarkable score was made by “Bob,”—two straight.

Sam Lovers Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Uovel’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.
