THE SHOOTING MATCH.

Among the rest of the good things
Mankato has at last perfected an organic
alton made up of Geptlemen Sportmen,
who will undoubtedly at no distant day
bring glory and success to the Mankato
arms on the battlefield of Peoria black
birds and glass balls.
The club realizing new strength in the
consolidation of members, forthwith
challenges st. Peter to friendly contest
at Is Peoria blackbirds-lS yards rise
promptly was the challenge accepted,
and Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock
could be seen the teams of the st. Peter
and Mankato Gun Clubs busily engaged
in active preparation for the first shoot
of the season. Mr.. Clayton was chosen by
the st. Peter gentlemen to look te '.,neii
interests as referee, and National Gar
ment Cutter party represented Mankato.
Mr.. P. III. Carney With his accustomed
gentlemanly courtesyk pulled the trap.
Mr.. Joslln acted in cal.,acity of scorer.
st. Peter brought to the score team
of six, as did the M&nkato Gun Club.
At about o'clock the Rall opened with
Mr.. G. r. Davis, ofst. Feter at the score.

Historic Vases.

In the Office of the Union Pacific rail-
road company, in this city. are two
very rare vases of black Japanese
bronze, and connected with them is
somewhat of history. The vases
stand about nineteen inches high, and
are Of very handsome and elegant de-
sign. As near as can be ascertained
they are in tho neighborhood of $50
years old, as the character of the metal
and the workmanship correspond with
the bronze made by the japanese of
that period. They were imported there
about the year 1851, coming over on
one OF the old sailing ships that piled
between the Orient and this port at
that time. For several years they
were stored away in q Montgomery
street store. About 1870 they were
placed in the window of the store to
serve as ornaments. and while there at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Clark, now
acting as travelling agent for the Union
Pacific in this city. Seeing them every
day, Clark became seized with long
ing desire to possess them, but as they
were not for sale he had to content
himself with looking at them as he
passed by.
For upward of five years the vases
remained in the window, when they
were removed, and nothing was seen
OF them until few days ago, when
Mr.. Clark in passing the store remem-
bered them. Wondering what had be-
come of the bronzes, he entered the
place and found that it had changed
hands, and no one seemed to know
what had become of the vases. One
OF the clerks, however, suddenly rec
objected that they had several years be-
fore been thrown into the yard in the
rear Of the store with lot of rub
bish.
The rubbish pile was visited. 1t was
high and wide, and 1t was thought that
perhaps the bronzes had been removed.
Clark, however, obtained permission to
prospect the pile, and, getting a pick
and shovel, went to work. He labored
hard for upward of an hour or more
and finally was rewarded by bringing
to light one Of the treasures. Another
hours work secured the other. But
what looking objects they were, coated
deep with mold and dirt. An offer of
q few dollars for them was promptly
accepted by the storekeeper, and they
were taken away and cleaned, and now
serve to adorn the office as stated. To
describe the work on them would be
difficult. the inlaid or dove-tailed silver
designs being Of such elaborate and
varied character. The vases are COW
cred with wreathes, leaves, flowers,
etc. On the sides are dragons. Mr..
Clark is "happy as a clam at high
tide" in the possession Of the treas
ures, and would not part with them for
anything, while on the other hand the
storekeeper is in mourning because he
did not Keep them himself. Fran

MANKATO GUN CLUB.
TOtal...

Mankato came to the front as is seen
from the score, defeating st. Peter by
six blackbirds. May she ever be as Sue
cessful in the future.
Mr.. Owens was particularly noticeable
on account ofthe quickness of movement
and unerring aim-covering his bird
| with the quickness of thought and as his
Daily rang out the pulverized atoms of
the blackbird spoke well for the maker
of his gun.
Mr.. Secat did not shoot as we'll as usual
but made some very fine shots, especial
" in the 18th and 14th rounds, when his
birds caught by the wind went spinning
away at canvasback speed, but his Colt
promptly stopped them.
| Mr.. Duane did some very fine shoot
ing at long range-having never shot at
blackbirds-was at disadvantage, as
were other members of the st. Peter
club.
DIR. McGraw's rifle practice has got him
in the habit of dwelling too long on his
object. This is an easy habit to over
come, and no doubt the Doctor will be
among the first in the near future. His
18th and 14th shots were exceedingly
long shots.
c. Christensen, Jr. was not up to his
usual score-his gun also missed fire
several times, which will rattle the best
of marksmen. His 9th shot was an ex-
ceedingly diffiult taller, flying low and
swift, but Girls Parker stopped its flight
in manner that won the commentator
of all the boys.
DIR. James had the nerve to shoot his
beautiful Scott 10 gague against 10 and IL
gague guns, doing some good execution.
His native red Irish dog Brian was with
him and better bred Red Irish is not
yet.
Mr.. Young made some very fine shots,
his ~ gague doing good shooting at long
