Event 9 was the medal shoot at 25 targets: 
Notes. 
Uncle Billy Wagner tried out four guns during the 
afternoon. One of them was a 9lbs. 2oz. 12-ga.; another a 
Gibs. 6 oz. Hunter and C. S. Wilson also tried the 34in. 
9lbs. gun. Wilson shot it very well. 
Dr. Stine brought his son out to try his hand, and he 
did very well, tor the first time. 
Farnham led the crowd on percentage for the afternoon, 
and it it had not been for a “five’' that he got in the 
nrbt event, his score would have been line. Hunter, 
Wagner, Hogan and Taylor were all bunched and 
crowded Farnham. 
In the medal contest Farnham and Taylor tied for 
first on 21 out of 25; Wagner 2U, Hogan 19, C. S. Wilson, 
Stine and Hunter hung up 18, while Parsons and Wise 
each scored 17, and Shoup and Cobery scored lb. 
Arthur V arena is the proud possessor ol a fine Pieper 
gun, which was presented to him by the famous band¬ 
master John Philip Sousa. It is a fine little gun, and the 
new owner is very proud of it. 
The boys held a post-mortem after it was all over with 
Dr. Parsons in the chair, but adjourned without having 
arrived at a solution of why so many of the straight¬ 
aways were missed. It was a hoodoo for the old and 
young. 
Dr. Cobey is a new one in the ranks. He is improv¬ 
ing very last, and his new pump surely reaches them a 
long ways off. 
Jake iVloftett, Harry Wilson, Capt. Wilhite, -Billy Barr, 
John Peyton, Burridge W ilson, Bud Brown, Dan Orrison 
and others are very much missed from the bring line, 
and we hope after July 1, when had holiday begins on 
Saturday, mat they w r ill be with us regularly.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., June 6. —The regular club shoot for 
June was not so well attended as usual, probably on ac¬ 
count of the previous large Decoration Day shoot. How¬ 
ever, sixteen members and lriends took part in the pro¬ 
gramme. 
Ihe shooting was not quite up to the usual high 
standard set by Audubon gunners, due to the bright 
glare of the sun. President McArthur won Class A 
oadge; Mr. Seymour Class B, and Mr. Smith Class C. 
In the point event Messrs. Covert and Remington were 
high with 24 and 23 respectively. Scores:

Sa.m Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’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.
