Club last night About seventyhve gentlemen and
ladies' gathered the hall Of the College Of Ply

audience. Mrs Calhoun s y lady apparently Of mid
die age. Her lecture carefully prepared, well
written, and delivered In a pleasing tone OF
voice. "Docs 1t never occur to u.s." said
Mrs Calhoun, s'thot we never hear lectures

LIFE CRACKS.

The protest OF the Scottish team who participated
last year the Centennial trophy match continues to
claim large share OF attention from the Creedmoor
msrksmen. The general opinion among them is that
guarantees should be required from tho "United
Kingdom" team by which that body would
lie bound to allow either Scottish team,
or one from ireland, to compete next year
in England for the trophy, In should 60 there
1t seems be the prevalent opinion that in OF
the attitude hitherto the English rhemcn they will
not consent 10 any such arrangement, ana conse.
qucnty there is some danger that even at this late
DAY tho projected international match msy take
place. Upon this point of allowing the Scotch aud
Irish to shoot with the English in an International
Kingdom team, expressed himself very strongly last
year opposed to this idea IL also believed that
when the Scottish protest reaches here, which must
do In few days, an extra meeting Of the
board Of directors OF the National Rine Association
should be called, in order that some action might be
taken the matter without loss Of time. America 1t
Is thought by many, cannot recece from her stand
point last whereby she invited the rfemen Of
the world TO compete for the possession Of the Cen
teInial trophy and If her adherence this principle
would prevent the United Kingdom team from joining
the marksmen of all nations the prominent men OF

termination 10 adhere to this resolution might prevent

The great advantage which Is TO be found IN a per-
fecy saic brecch-loadng rifle, with thoroughly gas
tight chamber, has enabled American rifemen to beat
all comcrs. Misunderstanding riho may be well made
and accurately rfled, but the marksman using it. not
being able to see that the barrel clean ana free from

tho same conditions, and II he not Of this he

the history of rifle shooting, and doubt

tho accuracy OF thor weapons The best shooting ever
done at Creedmoor by any eight men shooting to-
geher on the same day was onplished last Wodncs
day, when the unparalleled total OF 1,640 points
was reached Tho right wing oil the team, who used the
Remington Creedlnoor weapon, was composed OF
General DakIn, MAJOR Jewell and Mcssrs. Allen aud
