SOCIETY NOTES 
Miss Helen Taft is a qualified 
marksman, She has made a score 
of 49 out of a possible 50 at the 
Government rifle range in Glouces- 
ter, and with her friend, Miss Eliza- 
beth Hammond of Gloucester and 
New York, is winning the plaudits 
of society for her good shooting. 
For the last few weeks Miss Taft, 
Miss Hammond, and a party of 
friends, including the President’s 
brother, have been rubbing elbows 
with the officers and crew of the 
dispatch boat Dolphin, the private 
yacht of the Secretary of the navy, 
George Von L. Meyer, at the range 
on Dogtown common, and Saturday 
the last day of the season, both 
Miss Taft and Miss Hammond were 
plugging the target at the 200 and 
500-yard range for perfect scores. 
Miss Taft at first chose a gun which 
was poor in its firing, and it was 
not until, having watched one of the 
officers of the ship making bull’s- 
eye after buli’s-eye, she borrowed 
his gun and she began running up 
her score. The first shot was a 
four and the next nine were bull’s- 
eyes.

ing women, including Miss Helen 
Taft, daughter of the President. 
She took up the course at Evans 
farm, just over the line in South- 
ampton, and rode to the finish. The 
scene was laid down the rocky hill 
road to the railroad tracks and 
thence across the fields to Salisbury
