Pleasant Excur,ion.

The ArrOwsmith carried the cOngrega-
ton and friends of the Christian Church on Satur-
day down the river to Lower Cedar Point and
Blackstone Island The excursion was for the
pleasure of the Sunday-SchOol children and every
provision made for their enjoyment; but all
those of larger growth" who participated will
bear witness that they were not forgotten by those
who planned the affair. Among the most efficient
were the superintendent, Mr.. StieT, and wife, Mr.
Shepherd and wife, Captain Anderson and wife
B. I. Moore and wife. and others too numerous to
mention. Indeed, the entire church. old and young
seemed to vie with each other in cOntribut-
ting to the comfort of all the guests. Among the
many were DR.. Corric and daughter Mr. Sunny
and daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. ROoSe, and their son
Willie, who very calamity famed" the whole
party. Upon arriving at the Point some of the ex-
curSionists landed, prepared for picnicking, but
their host Mr.. Charles Haffcck, had anticipated
their wants by providing fried spring chickens,
fish, oysters, boats, and bathing convcniCnces
gratuitouS. The man seemed almost omniprescnt
For only one day for preparation it is almost in
credible to see how much he accomplished The
party, numbering 100. were unanimous in their
praise vote of thanks was ter
dered him, and resolutions adopted
After spending several hours pleasantly in feasting
and bathing. they re- embarked for home On the
return trip fine music, vocal and instrumental
was discoursed by Miss Simons, the young organ
ist, Miss Ward, Miss Hershey Miss Davis, and Miss
Stier, the lastnamed having fine alto voice. The
pastor was necessarily absent. The President was
expected, but owing to the state of Mrs Garfeld's
health he was obliged to leave the city on Sa:ur
day, which occasoned some disappointment
among their many friends.

THE DISPUTED TROPHY.
Let the Match Re Shot Over AEain-EEoU
the Queatfon Can BE Settled.

Mr.. George W. Evans, of the National
Rifles, i'll a communication to THE REPUBLICAN, IN
reference to the recent match at GlymOnt, says:
| "The statement published in a Sunday paper
Yesterday relative to the rifle-match at Glymont
the 18th instant greatly msrepresents the facts
in the case The match, as announced, was to be
shot underline rules of the National Rife ASsocla-
ton. All the military companies that entered
teams to compete for the prize did so under these
rules The shooting resulted in tie of total scores
between the teams of the Rifles and the Washing
ton Light Infantry Corps. The rules of the aSso-
citation prescribe that when tie of totals exists
the next thing to be done to decide the match IS
TO count the inners, cutters, centres, and bulls
eyes. This was done, and on each of these the
Rifles and Infantry were found to have tied
again. The next rule requires that the total
of each round, in inverse order, be taken.
This was done. and the seventh round was also
found to be tie. According to these rules the next
thing was to count the sixth round. This was
done, and the total of this was found in favor of
the Rifles by four points. But the Rifles did not
claim the prize then on so narrow margin, nor
do they claim it now. The referees and the judge
(Mr Beckham, of Alexandria, did meet after the
close OF the contest and in q two hours SESSION
finally concluded to refer to the association the
question of the application of the rules to the point
in dispute between themselves, viz, Is the prize
and judge will meet this evening to prepare the
question for submission to the Rifle Association.
The resolve of the Rifles was not premature
has majority of the referees a single one of
the same made a decision in the matter.
If so, said decision was not made at
the meeting after the contest The least
said about protested rife-shots' of the first
order end poor, simple amateurs is best for the
interest of military rifle shooting hereafter. The
entire team of the Rifles are unused to Of-hand
two hundred yard rifle shooting that of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps, and have had
no more practice. The score made the other day
will attest the correctness of this statement The
Wimbledon Cup was not won i'll England by
member of our team. 1t was won at CreedmoOr,
and in an entirely different way of shooting than
that of off-hand, two hundred yards In conelu-
sion, allow me to say that, while we are willing to
abide by the rules of the National Rifle or any
other association, we have not, nor will we claim
the prize. We hope it will be shot for again. If
not for this, then for other prize that may be
satisfactory to the gentlemen of the Washington
Light Infantry Corps Team. There is no I'M
friendly feeling between the rival teams Ii so,
the National Rifles are not party to it."

reavemenfs.

Colonel George B. Corkhill Saturday
night received the sad intelligence by telegraph
Of the death of his sister, Mrs. II. c. Putnam, at
Mount Pleasant. Iowa, which occurred at six o'clock
that evening She had been sick for some time
past. aud only yesterday Colonel Corkhin received
letter stating that his sister was better and there
were encouraging hopes of her ultimate recovery.
This cheering news was supplemented by the
telegram announcing her death. She was formerly
resident of this city, and has many friends here
who will regret her death and sympathize with
Colonel Corkhill in his affection. Within little
more than yeardeath has cut q deep and wide
swath in this family. First it was the father
then the mother next the bright and pretty
daughter, and now sister is added to the death
roll. Surely the weight of affection has been
heavy in his family. and, as it would seem, almost
beyond understanding. His domestic troubles do
not stop here, for he has another sister very sick
and trembfes lest d telegram will at any moment
announce hlr demfse.-The Post
