71. The club has fine grounds, and their headquarters 
are attractive and permanent, and the season starts off 
with the members much enthused. 
Some dozen Nevada, Ia., gun shots met at the City 
Hail jiast Thursday evening and carried out the pre-

A committee representing the Tucson, Ariz., Gun Club 
has stated that the club is anxious and willing to accom- 
modate the Douglas Club with a match at clays. The 
members also state that if any club in the Territory will 
send a team they will assure them a royal reception, a 
good time, and in addition a beating at that, when it 
comes to marksmanship. 
The Grafton, Va., Gun Club has secured new grounds, 
situated on the Knott’s Farm, near the city reservoir, 
at which place the opening shoot will be held latter part 
of this month. 
Perey Collins now holds the lead with 142 in the con- 
test for the shotgun offered by the Pueblo, Colo., Gun 
Club. Only Stroth has any show to tie him. Last Sun- 
day many of the members were after ducks, and those 
present at the shooting park had to contend with a high 
wind, yet Collins made 27 out of 30, and then 24 out of 
25 for powder trophy. Scores: Carter 8 out of 10, 
Killeen 10, Lannon 9, McKinney 6, Galloway 9; Fish 5,

has signified his intention of taking part, and will carry 
away some of the money so liberally added. 
Reports from Janesville, Wis., state that the Badger 
Gun Club will start this week with the season shoots. 
This is a large club, and as there are many towns nearby 
connected with trolley cars, the attendance should be 
large. 
Guptill has been heard from. This time at home, 
where two of the members beat him shooting. Leese, 
who won the medal last year, must be a wonder, as he 
starts out with a straight score of 25. Thie year there will 
be two classes of shooters, and the weaker shooters will 
have a chance to win prizes. Class A, 25 targets: A. 
Leese 25, Hangen 22, Phillips 20, Kast 19, Davis 16,

birds: Fulton 8, Mumbower 9, Sawyer 8, Jameston 8, 
Burgess 7, Harvey 7, Lamors 6, Schaeffer 6, Wiemer 5,

The secretary writes from Flora, Ind., that the gun 
club will start the 1906 season and hold weekly meets 
the balance of the year. Every one at all interested in 
shooting is cordially invited to participate in these affairs. 
Members of the Trimountain, Baltic and Atlantic, 
Mich., clubs will attend the Houghton tournament next 
month. Each of these clubs are holding regular con-

made when they all meet together.

Va., will hold regular shoots every two weeks until 
Nov. 1.

want of use.

near Detroit, Mich., besides the live-bird events, there

with 21, against 19 for Messrs. Akin and Campbell. 
There is an awakening at Salt Lake City. At 50 blue- 
rocks, Shemwell was high with 43. Cal. Callison was not 
satisfied, and went after another 50, and this time made 
45 to Shemwell’s 44. There will be shooting every 
Sunday.

A darky wanted very much to propose to his lady-love, 
but, strange to say, he hadn’t the nerve. Some one sug- 
gested he resort to the telephone. 
“Dat you, Dinah?’ 
“VYaas,” was the reply. 
“Say, Dinah, I want ter ask yer somethin’.” 
“Vaas,”’ again. 
“Dinah, will yer marry me?” 
“‘Yaas; who is it, please?’”’—April Lippincott’s.
