G. F. P. 
Lancaster Gun Club. 
Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 25.—This was the annual shoot, 
after which a very fine banquet was given to the mem- 
bers and visitors. Mr. Apgar was high, and Lewis and 
Worthington tied for second honors. 
Some of the best amateur shots were present, but 
owing to the foxy targets were unable to catch their 
professional friends at the traps, but more than made 
up for it at the festive board. The committee deserves 
much credit for the elaborate manner in which they 
entertained.

On and Off the Rail. 
wuub nere, anotner garnering ot the clans^ 
the original U. M. C. and Remington Southern Squad 
accompanied by Annie Oakley, who, to the readers of 
this paper, requires no introduction. The personnel of 
the team this trip is Tom A. Marshall, Captain; Wm 
Jw \^ eer ’ Fran k E. Butler, Col. J. T. Anthony and Geo. 
W. Maxwell. 
Jacksonville, Fla., was the objective point for organiza- 
t !. on -^ Fe . b ; the da y set * or the first exhibition, and 
the Ostrich Farm, the park selected. On account of 
floods the team was late in arriving, and' 1 P. M was 
shown upon the dial of the clock when Billy Heer and 
George Maxwell were seen coming down the middle of 
the street, trunks on their shoulders, and explained that 
they had attempted to come in over the Atlantic Coast 
.Line, but discovered that they were going to be late, at 
the speed the train was running, hence they decided to 
* ln hand.” All this was approved by Butler 
and Maxwell, who had been in Jacksonville for a couple 
of days. Col. Anthony was still missing, but just as we 
were about to “drop the distance flag’^ on him he ap¬ 
peared on the corner and explained that he had arrived 
early in the morning, but that he had met a dear, de¬ 
lightful old friend on the street and they had been in¬ 
cidentally discussing a few Civil War matters'that had 
been overlooked fifty years ago. 
Arriving at the Ostrich Farm, we found about one 
ii 0l t- Sa j P eo P^ e gathered. The band was playing, and 
all had taken on the appearance of a gala day. Jake 
Mendelsohn, park manager, was at the head of the re¬ 
ception committee and advised that he desired to show 
the team a little attention, and would pull off a few 
special stunts for our amusement prior to starting the 
shoot—high drivers, animal training and an ostrich race 
where a small negro jocky rode the ostrich around the 
arena to the wonder of all assembled with the exception 
of Col. Anthony, who insisted that the ostrich was ^run¬ 
ning on a slow bell.” Jake explained that the ostrich 
was running much faster than it appeared. The Colonel 
remarked that he could show the bird “a clean pair of 
heels.” The contest was arranged and started. The 
Colonel was not at his best orr the first lap, but “came 
to’ in the finish and passed the ostrich “like a pay car 
would pass a tramp.” At the conclusion of the race the 
ostrich finished, but at once hid his head in the sand 
and remained in that position while we were in the 
park. The Colonel (?)—well I guess he was there with 
his chest thrown out, and was heard explaining to his 
Southern admirers that he had acquired that speed and 
endurance trying to catch up with the flying Yankees 
back in the ’60s. 
The Jacksonville sportsmen were there in full force 
and effect. The ‘‘glad hand” was freely circulated, and 
they surely made us feel that we were welcome back, 
and many inquiries were made after the absent members 
of the original Southern Squad. Heikes and Budd were 
names frequently mentioned, and it was evident that 
they had made good socially while here, although it 
was impossible to remember the scores. The entertain¬ 
ment was such that 5 P. M. had arrived before the 
squad were called to the score. T. wenty-five targets were 
shot by the club members and team, and strange as it 
may appear, Frank Gray and George Maxwell were the 
only ones that failed to find a bunch of atmosphere that 
did not have a target in same. The above-mentioned 
gentlemen broke straight while the balance of the con¬ 
testants were placed in positions to frame excuses ex-> 
plaining how it happened. 
Annie Oakley’s exhibition shoot was then put on the 
boards. It was almost a continuous round of applause 
as she performed the most difficult feats of marksmanship 
with the greatest ease. All left the park marveling that 
such skill could be acquired. dhe Jacksonville con¬ 
tingent were all at the hotel in the evening and a gOod, 
old-fashioned social mixup was the result. We took our 
departure from Jacksonville with good wishes and many 
invitations to return. To assure our friends that we will 
be glad to revisit them goes without saying. 
Palatka, Fla., was the next objective point. Arrived at 
midnight. The shoot was pulled off on the banks of the 
classic St. Johns River. About eight hundred were down 
to witness the scene. The Palatka shooters, with Bro. 
Sands in the band wagon, were there, and mingled with 
the team in the shoot. A closer cemented acquaintance 
was the result of this meeting. Annie Oakley’s show 
was much enjoyed and appreciated. This was evidenced 
by the fact that all the crowd were lavish in their ap¬ 
plause. The departure from Palatka was marked by 
regrets on both sides. 
Sanford, Fla. Well, I guess that is an ideal little 
hospitable to the limit. The proprietor of the 
New Sanford Hotel met us at the train with a welcome 
that made us feel perfectly at home, and Billy Anthony, 
son of our Col. Anthony and clerk of the New Sanford 
proved himself the prince of entertainers. The day of 
the shoot it rained incessantly until 4 P. M., when the 
clouds broke a little. In view of the grounds being im¬ 
mediately in front of the hotel a short exhibition was 
shot, it was misting and raining, hut the ardor of the 
crowd was in no way dampened. About six hundred of 
them remained under umbrellas to the finish. 
F ^ a, > winter resort proper and right. An 
ideal home for wealthy people. Here w e found one of 
the healthiest and most enthusiastic gun clubs in the 
South, composed of typical Southern gentlemen leaders 
among which were Messrs. Beck, Doliver, Evans and 
Money. J lie club grounds are nicely located at the new 
r *ce track. About eleven hundred were out to see the 
exhibition. Automobiles, carriages and riding horses were 
much in evidence. The well groomed personnel of the 
crowd was commented on. Annie Oakley met here some 
people from her Ohio home, and fairly outdid herself in 
shooting on their account. 
The social features here were most excellent. At the 
conclusion of the shoot we were invited to the club, 
where we met many congenial people. Thence to the 
palatial home of Mr. Evans, where we were escorted into 
his orange grove and made to feel that if we did not eat 
galore and carry away a back load of oranges he would 
feel hurt, brank Butler saved his feelings, for his coat
