panied our club on their recent visit 10 Pcnsacoa,
and while not feeling sufficiently familiar with
guns aud shooting matters 70 attempt descsip-
ton or criticism of the contest In which our boys
again won the State championship Badge. yet
must have word on the manner In which our
entire party were received, cared for, and after
two days Of uninterrupted fun and frolic. sent
home happy. As we stepped from the train al
our depot the first question asked by friend
was, Did Pensacola treat you IS well as yox
treated them last July 7" Now let me explain
how It is; il is related of VIM. r. Travers, the
great Wall street speculator, who formerly lived
In Baltimore, and who was always afflicted with
an im-ped i-ment in his speech, was once met on
Broadway by an old friend, who, after cordial
greeting and few minutes conversation, re-
marked, Travers. you stutter worse now than
when you lived in Baltimorer "Y-y yes" re-
piled Travers, III Tn ~ icing in a bb6igger
topn."
Jes-sol Pensacola's hospitality is Is big as
Escambia Bay, and they treated us royalty We
sooud have done better for them last July, but
fell far short of what they did in the way of en-
tertaining us. Well. honors are partly easy /;
we beat them shooting by majority of 81, and
they beat US entertaining visitors, by score too
large to write up on this sheet.
The two clubs inaugurated measures
for the formation of the Florida State Sports
mems Association" an organization much needed
and of which you will shortly hear more fully.
Through your columns Messrs. Editors, we de-
sire to express our very best thanks to ecerybody
in Pensacola for the many pleasures afforded US.

The Forestry Congress.

There is no doubt that the Southern
Forestry Congress at DeFuniak SPRINGS
on the 10th and 18th of next December
will be great success-the parent event
Of similar assembages in subsequent
years. The attendance will be large and
include many persons of distinction.
Chautauqua circles are being organized
in many communities. and their delega-
tons will be prepared to carry to the
Congress, for planting in the lots as
signed them respectively, the trees and
vines they may select. The result should
be that the grounds. will be so adorned
and beautified by varied growth and
tasteful arrangement that the locality
will be one of the most attractive in the
South. Nothing less may be expected
from the combination of the efforts of a
large number of Circles in different parts
of State extending through several
degrees of latitude and longitude, and
hence producing great diversity of vege-
tation. Governor Perry last week APP
pointed the following delegates to the
Forestry Congress:
State at large--Rev. E. Warren Clark,
Hon. Angus Paterson, General J. J. Fin
ley, Major G. A. Hanson.
For First Congressional District -
Hon. R. ]. Perry, Captain A. Il. God
win.
For Second Congressional District
