SPORTS AND CONTESTS At THE
SUPPLEMENTARY.

5he Hussars Win Both First and Sec
oud Prizes in the Military COntest-
The Gun clubs divide she HOnOrs-The
Individual COntssts-The Tournament
"a Complete Success.
Schuetzen Park was alive with merry
tbrOng yesterday. The visitors started
early and kept arriving all through the
day, and even after the lamps in the
dancing pavilion we're lit at night. The
smile-wreathed faces OF Messrs. Molina
and Griffin OF the committee Of the Re-
publican Blues, who had charge OF the
tournament, indicated that the affair was
great success. A large crowd went out
on the cars, and many others drove out IN
carriages. The day was as pleasant as
midsummer day could be eXpt cted TO be.
There Eas lust breeze enough TO stir the
Undiscovered nOughs OF the old trees, and
laziiy float away the clouds Of smoke that
rapidly pulled from the mouths Of
the rifles and dOuble-barreled guns.
Everything passed of quietly and smooth
", which was not one OF the least import
ant incidents connected with the Chat
hams benefit. Late at night, when the
committee counted up the nickels. dimes,
quar- eTs, aud halt dollars that we're taken
in during the day, they found that they
had a snug sum to contribute to the cen
tenuial fund Of the Chatham Artillery.
The attractions were the military team
and gun club contests, the Calling gun
exhibition, the Bavarian novelty shoot
ing contest, the Turing music in the dane
inc pavilion, sliced watermelon on ice,
ice cream, soda and the frothy beer. In
the booths the popping Of bottles OF soda
and sarsaparilla rivaed in frequency the
cracking of the rifles IN the shoot
ing gallery. Soon after the stars began
TO peep down through the grove glimpses
OF military uniforms and white dresses
could be seen Fastening to pre-empt the
rustic seats.
The days sport began with the contest
between the Chatham and the Forest City
Gun Clubs. Each club had two teams
entered. No. l OF the Chathams was
matched against No. 1 of the Forest City,
and the second teams were pitted against
each other. The shooting was close, and
one team of each cluo won.
The score was as follows:

The continuous system from Kansas
City, the centre of the bread and meat
producing section of the West, to Bruins
wick, is still making progress in the eyes
of Brunswickians. 1t may be slow, says
the Herald. but it ia sure nevertheless.
The link between Memphis and Holly
Springs has at last been completed, and
now Memphis is moving for a direct con-
necti0n with Birmingham. A charter for
such road WAS obtained from the Mis-
sissippi Legislature Ia 1882. This road
VIII open up the coal and iron
region between Holly Springs ana
the mineral regions Of the South;
and by a direct connection with the
Georgia Pacific, it is intended to greatly
shorten the distance to Columbus and the
ChattahOochee country, TO which section
the Brunswick and Western road is to be
extended. This is the agreement between
the Frankfort committee and the Sehg-
mans, who now own and operate the
Brunswick and Western. 1t is needless
10 say that when this through line to the
West is completed the Frankfort commit
tee will see that the extension at this end
of the line is made. This will put Bruins
wick in direct railroad connection with
Kansas City by the shortest and most
direct route.

ents. In the first place, it is very desirable
that they avoid as fur as possible indulging in
any personalities or references calculated to
create enmity or ill-will. There occasionally
occur, in any community, incidents which
should receive the censure Of the press, but
this privilege should not be hastily used or
abused without fist acquainting themselves
thoroughly with the facts in the case. To this
may be added, for the publishers benefit, an
explanation Of all the particulars in the ease.
The correspondents of the FREE TRADER have
been unusually trustworthy in this respect,
and 1t is seldom that it has been found neces-
sary to mark of an item on account Of its
personal character. The publisher of news
paper must to great extent rely on the good
sense Of his correspondents in avoiding per-
sonalties. II is the innocentlooking item
which is really personal thrust in disguise
that correspondents should guard themselves
against. What is absolutely required is news
items, and abuse by inference or otherwise is
not Of any interest except to the writer. 1t is
the desire Of the publishers Of the FREE IRA
DER to place it upon that higher plane Of
journalism which dcspises all malicious per-
sonalties and the cspousing Of personal
quarrels, and in so doing they hope to receive
the hearty support and assistance OF con-
tributors.

Noticing the short article in the last weeks

ly correct and partly incorrect statement con-
tanned therein, and this has led me to brief
statement which will be in cOnsonance with
conclusions derived from long service OF OBJ

The FREE TRADER says in substance that
the maple should be pruned when in "J"I'
ao,cer;;" it undoubtedly meant ,csen in full 1eaf'
This would be better practice than to prune
them when dormant or near spring. Yet the
most proper time for this work would be
when the leaves are about half groom, as Of
this time the wounds heal most rapidly and
there is no oxidation Of sap.
Pruning at this season Of the year, when
the sap of the maple begins its active ascent
is to be avoided If possible, as the exudation
Of such sap from the wounds made is much
more free than at any other time. This fact
is obvious and we'll known to every casual OBJ.
server. The loss Of sap is in itself no partlcu-
lar detriment to the tree, but the difficulty OF
disaster arises in consequence Of such sap be-
ing strongly charged with saecharine matter
which running down the limbs and sides OF
the tree during a warm or hot day, as 1t comes
in contact with the atmosphere active fermen-

in considerable quantities. Acetic acid is
strongly corrosive and when it comes in con
tact with living vegetable tissue destroys it.
and the result is that the bark is destroyed
usually in large patches around the wounds

the limbs and body Of the tree. Such con
dition has been incorrectly called sun-scald,

his plan to q gentleman in New York, and
during his lifetime co.operated with him in

years of patient and conscientious toll and

money, was "Johnson's Cyclopedia." Upon
its pages some Of the most distinguished spec
