in shooting blindfold. depending upon hearing,
and not sight, for the aim. Tho dstanco wcs

indicated by ths turning OF J. racket-wheol op-
erated by boy at tho end OF long string, ard
making noiso like tho policonaa's rattle in
t. ''Hump.y DumptY." The 1lst shooter Was !
Mr. Gardner. whose head WAS covered With
thick bag, and ho WAS t!on turned around throo
times so as to confuse his notions as
to tbs location Of tho target as much
as possible This scheme workod to
