Bradford Gun Club. 
Braprorp, Pa., Aug. 3.—Just to show that our mem- 
bers have not lost interest in the king of all sports, they 
turned out three squads strong, to-day, and there is a 
number of our leading shooters away for their summer 
vacations, and it goes to show that we have a very 
enthusiastic club, and, we think, the most so of any one 
in the State for the size of the city. While we were 
fortunate enough to draw the State shoot for 1908, we 
really think that we were entitled to it, and in a better 
position to handle it and send the shooters away satisfied 
than any other club. We intend to run this shoot as we 
have in. the past, and that is to give the shooters the 
entire profits. 
Our members are looking forward to the pleasure of 
entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein and J. Mowell 
Hawkins on the 18th. This will be Mrs. Topperwein’s 
first visit to the city, and there promises to be a large 

attendance of the fair sex out to welcome her to our 
city. The following are our scores:
