excellent record or perhaps 70 one or two better
in the general average"
The Ottawa team and a few friends left the city,
at A. NJ, and on arriving at Joliet were escorted
to the St. Nicholas hotel where the morning
was spent
The morning was rainy and had the effect TO les
sen the crowd tina; would otherwise have assem-.
bled to witness the match but promptly at 2P. NJ.
the shooting began and was attentivey watched
by about one hundred spectators, The interest
throughout was lively, and Joliet soon began TO
wake up to the fac. that they would not have a
"walk away" On the start, as will be seen by
the score. Ottawa was braced by the fact that her
men gained the lead. But at the third round the
teams tied then Ottawa lead on the fourth men.
From the fifth round Joliet gained until when
the eighth round was fired they stood seven
ahead. To all appearances ''the game was up"
so at least Joliet thought, But they had not
counted on nerve" by no means an unimportant
element in friendly shooting match as well as
in trough and tumble" Theer, Joliet, and
Trimbe, Ottawa, took the stand: "Trmmy" as
cool as an icicle and about as steady; his oppo-
nent confident" but "rattled" all the same,
They shot and ''Trimmy" beat his man six
points! "Well, well, that young man shoots
we'll" says ourex CON- gresham Snapp uneasily;
"but, of course, Joliet will win-my son shoots
next" The excitement began 20 reach fever
heat. 1t required gain of two for Ottawa. Was
Sumner equal to it? Ottawa felt sure of good
score from him; but then Howard Snapp was
the last man to be "rattled" by a little excite
ment: We've seen him stand up against worse
odds than were thought possible here. They
came on the stand cool and steady; they shot;
the score shows with whatresult: Snapp, %; Gull
len, 27.-"Hurrahu' ''Whoop!" away went the
hats, and the Threats, TOO. Cullen and Trimble,
the heroes, were carried of on the shoulders Of
Ottawa men, ard Joliet marched slowly and sad
" back to town with arms reversed, their souls
cheered by the dead march. They were dead
beat.
The following is the score:

Joliet.
The victory of the rifle team from Company ID,
l. n G. Of this city at Joliet on Saturday last was
one of the grandest surprises Ottawa has had for
many day; and it should not be considered re.
markable that for time the town ''lost its head
over the result. The challenge was passed
from the Ottawa to the Joliet team at time
when ''our horoes" had only muzzle leaders OF
the toughest kind; end when few Of them had ever
shot with rife except short range in the festive
''shootn' galry." However by the kindness OF
"a La Sale company they were provided with the
regulation arms and they began practising For
ia few weeks this was irregular and unsatisfactory
i'm the extreme, and il was only during the last
week or ten days that the average" began TO
show up respectfully Both the boys and their
friends had little idea that the Ottawas could
win, considering the work done by the Joliet
team in previous contests. However, on Satur-
day morning they started to the scene determined
TO shoot their best and by no means to give Jo
liet walk away" The Joliet team was in the
best shape; and having ''the best record of all
companies of the state militia participating last
October. and subsequently vanquishing the rife
team of Company A., LIST Regiment, Chicago,
Iseore IA VS.. 240) it was not too much TO expec.
