The Rival Shootists.

AS Capt. "A. III. BOgardus and l cannot agree
on terms of match, l make him the follow
ing propositions That he will shoot an exhi-
bition to-day, Saturday afternoon, before the
people on the fair grounds, and let them de-
eide who really is the better shooter.
L should like very much to settle the ques-
ton, and as the captain and l are
both strangers here, am quite sure the de-
cision will be impartial. If the captain is
decided to be the better shooter he takes my
medals, guns, good will, reputation and all
but if | am considered the better shooter [
shall expect to don the Captains medals. His
guns | do not want; his good will is all right
Trusting this will meet with the Captains APP
probation, my guns, medals, and 81 600 will
give to any man who can equal my shooting.
