Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 











THE NEW EDITION 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex- 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, Dated Aug. J 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
e e 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience. ame aws in rie

On the second day the contest for the championship 
of Virginia was the main event. This contest was won| 
by Mr. E. C. Bachman, of Bristol, Va. He broke 91] 
out of 100 targets. 
The three-man team contest had eight entries, and of 
these the Deep Run Hunt Club was victor by a score of 
130 out of 150. High amateur average for the two days} 
was won by Mr. George McCarty, of Philadelphia, with} 
a total of 361 out of 400. The Deep Hunt Club grounds 
seem to please him, as he won the Southern Handicap 
on them in May last. He was closely pressed by Mr. 
W. Hall, of Fishersville, Va., who scored 360. George 
Lyon, of Durham, N. C., was third. The averages of the 
professionals for the two days were as follows: Messrs. 
J. Mowell Hawkins 373, Lester S. German 371, H. S. 
Welles 366, T. Haze Keller, Jr., 357, A. M. Hatcher 356, 
E. H. Storr 355, Col. J. T. Anthony 346, Col. L. D.

Eastern Branch Gun Club. 
Wasuincton, D. C., Sept. 2.—The Eastern Branch 
Gun Club Labor Day tournament started with a rather 
small attendance, the hour being a little too early for 
some, while others took an early start and braved the 
danger of having an eye shot out or a few No. 5 shot 
planted in their anatomy by some negro with a Spring- 
field rifle, and tried their skill on the marsh, which, in 
most cases, made them late in reporting. This state of | 
affairs did not last long, for shortly the boys began 
showing up in twos and fours, on bicycles and in auto- 
mobiles. When the shoot was once fairly under way |, 
there was no let up until dark. 
A south wind was blowing across the traps, which made |. 
high scores impossible; but good-natured rivalry between | 
the boys was rampant, especially in the sectional shoot, 
and all present expressed themselves in a way that was 
very gratifying to the management. The scores follow:
