Veteran Day. 
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.—Several youngsters, between 
whom and their majority several hard winters intervene, 
regaled themselves with a live-bird shoot, at the- Phila- 
delphia Driving Park, to-day. They were all men of 
skill in the use of the shotgun, besides being also men 
of great renown’ therewith at different periods in the 
- past and present century, some of them part of the time, 
some all the time, and all of them all of the time at 
the present time. 
The event which caused this foregathering of veterans 
was ten birds, known to fame as the Veteran’s Handi- 
cap, and to be governed by the antique Rhode Island 
rules, which enjoin that the shooters shall stand at 
2lyds., use by agreement one barrel, all of which was 
in consonance with the formative days of black powder, 
cylinder bores, juvenile skill and the general beginning 
of things. 
Capt. J. Brierly, of Philadelphia, a_ stripling of 83 
summers, distinguished himself by scoring 8 out of 10. 
Jack Brewer, who was at one time the. leader of 
them all, judging him on shooting form apart from 
legerdemain, was won from his hermitage in New Jersey 
to participate. He succeeded in making a tie and high 
score with J. Frank Kleinz, each scoring 9. Thus in 
the years their skill has been largely retained as shown 
by only this one irrelevance out of ten in pointing their 
guns. 
The event as a whole consumed 180 birds, and of these 
only 65 escaped the deadly aim of the veterans. 
In a sweepstake, W. Greenwood was high with 6. 
A double bird event, for display of skill only, was also 
appropriated by Greenwood with two perfect doubles. 
Brewer, Kleinz and Toughill scored 3; Douglas, 2. 
After the shoot, as the guests of Mr. Hugh McAnan, 
a banquet was enjoyed, at which there were speeches, 
reminiscence, music and also song. 
It was thought wise to make the Veteran Handicap 
an annual happening, and, indeed, it has much to com- 
mend it as an incentive for the mature captains of the 
shooting world to reunite, to rivet old friendships, to 
sniff the air of battle, and to appropriate a few hours 
for collective enjoyment. The scores:

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvélous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
’ startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
