B. S. A. Shoot. 
Backward, turn backward, 
O, birds in your flight, 
Die in the boundary, 
And not out of sight. 
I think I have broken 
Your frail little wings, 
When you are off like a breeze, 
You swift-flying things. 
Come, O, come back, 
And add to my score, 
Don’t be like the raven, 
And quoth “Nevermore.” 
Battimorer, Md.—At the Baltimore Shooting Associa- 
tion grounds, Feb. 22, there were fourteen contestants 
for the beautiful silver cup given by Mr. Fenneman. 
Each man shot at 20 white fliers. Dapnat and Gent 
.seored 19. In the shoot-off (5 white fliers), Dupont 
scored 4, Gent 38. Gent’s gun was out of order, and 
gave him much trouble during the early afternoon. He 
tried Dupont’s, but lost one flier, so decided to take 
chances with his Winchester again. It was quite late 
when Mr. Gent’s last “pull’? was heard, and he was 
‘handicapped by having a flier the color of the woods, a 
swift darter, that could not be seen, consequently was 
“lost to sight and memory dear’’—at least lost so far as 
the score goes. 
The Fenneman cup is sterling silver, and rests on an 
ebony base. It is a trophy well worth shooting for, and 
must be won by the same shooter twice to become his 
personal property. Lester German, who was unfortunate 
enough to make two misses in his 20 score, offered to put 
up a good money consideration to shoot for the cup with 
the eventual winner, at 100 fliers. As the cup is such a 
desirable one, it is not likely German will get a chance 
of this kind. He has, however, many friends who be- 
lieve he will win by being high gun at the second shoot 
for this trophy. Dupont, while a fine shot, was fortunate 
in getting easy birds. German and Waters drew some 
of the unkillable kind. They centered several fliers with 
both barrels, then the birds were inconsiderate enough 
‘to die outside the boundary. Moxley had a run of il 
straight, drew several twisting drivers (that are killed by 
accident and not by skill), then realizing he had no 
chance to win the cup, withdrew. 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.
