ON THE WING.
Beginning of the First Annual Tourney
Of the Maine sportsmen's Association.

Glourious weather greeted the lovers OF the
shot gun as they assembled on the State range
Tuesday. The air was clear and invigorating,
and the sunshine genial in its warmth without
being uncomfortably hot. Some forty marks
men were on the grounds Tuesday; but more
were present Wednesday. To-day the interest
will reach its climax. The shooting Tuesday
was very good. The pigeons were tame and
apparently enfeebled by their confinement ana
did not make good fight for liberty Occa-
sinnally bird would escape the shot and soar
away from the trap only to fall victim to the
Gordon Of sportsmen beyond the circle of flags.
After pigeon scars across the circle which
surrounds the sportsmen, it is ANY on's bird
aud can be shot by outsiders.
The first prize, a gun valued at 500, was
awarded by mutual consent to L. S. IRISH and
FL. d. Donovan, of the Androscoggin Clue,
and H A. Jones, of the Peaks Island Club
The prize will be divided in such manner as
the winners agree upon.
The second prize, a key OF Dead Shot
powder, was won by r. Shaw, Of the Andres
coggin Club
The third prize, a key OF shooting powder,
reverted to the Association.
IN Glass B, OF second class of ties, the first
prize, one case sporting powder valued at 10,
was divided between E. w. Moore, OF the
Cushnoc Club, and G. K. Munson, of the An

G,,iteau and His Dastardly iced.

Ma. EDIToR:-Admitted, the facts thar it
was the ball from Guiteau's pistol that killed
the President, that the pistol was fired by
Guiteau. that there is no question as to identi-
ty it is with some establishment and indigna-
ton that the average mind not trained in
legal hair splitting learns that there is a doubt
if the assassin can be tried for murder.
1t is a new revelation that the jurisdiction
of the United States courts are SO limited that
if man is shot in the District of Columbia
and is removed to New Jersey and dies there,
his assailant can only be tried for assault and
battery Most people in common life regard
these courts as having supreme jurisdiction,
and if an offense like that of Guiteau's is not
q national one, that is, an offense against the
nation, and does not come appropriately und er
the review of the United States courts, it is
high time that the principle should be settled.
One thing is certain, the whole people will
regard with feverish impotence the objections
TO Guiteaus trial on the charge of murder,
and will not tolerate any leg Il bubbles which
may be raised, that will have the effect to
relieve him of answering adequately, so far as
his worthless life win go, for his atrocious
crime. Eel.
