There is nothing like trouble to test good nature, and 
that the Red House bunch is a coterie of good-natured 
shooting enthusiasts is proven by the shoot for the 
National Rifle Association medal on Memorial Day. 
There is only one place where this annual event is held. 
Redwood Farm, South Portsmouth, right alongside the 
Bay, where the wind sweeps and a storm always gathers 
when the annual pilgrimage is made. The last shooting 
that was done with rifles at long range was on Labor 
Day, when the rain came down in sheets and the 
'-ranks lay smiling in pools of water. This year it was 
decided to get in ahead of the elements, but the gale 
was there on deck; and while the shoot was finished be¬ 
fore the usual cloudburst, the latter came all right, and 
yet the twelve participants with their boomers voted the 
outing a success, as any one can appreciate who takes 
the jaunt—and what else could be expected of an 
rrcranization which boasts no soreheads, and whose mem¬ 
bers shoot for sport, and not only cheer the winner, but 
the unfortunate tail-end man as well. 
Popular Billy Almy won the medal this year, and 
every one was happy, and while the old war horse in¬ 
sisted that his good fortune was due to the coaching of 
that other old thoroughbred, A. B., who, like the rest 
of the happy family, is always ready to push along the 
other fellow, the white disk caused the scorer to put' 
down figures that cinched the positmn. 
But it was no easy walkover. Right behind Billy 
came another member, who next year, we hope will stand 
at the head because he only lost by a point, and whose 
two 4s at the final stage were so close to the bull that 
they were aggravations. 
A. C., who hasn’t been able to hit a barn for several 
weeks in six-shooter work, had a tough fight with Mr.
