rinued until darkness put an end TO the

| shooting for the flag q Gorge s. McAlpin
did the best shooting of the day although
toward the last be found in Beach Of Bruins
wick danger Gus rival.
The Glynn Gun Club of Brunswick was
disappointed, as some Of the best shots in
the club did not get here. They brought
team here anyway, although one OF the
team, Mr. Boy kin had shot at clay pigeons
but once before. This will account for the
low score of the team IN the Interstate
match, but Mr.. Beach's individual scores
show that Brunswick has some good men
with the gun. There were some ten or
twelve Brunswick gentlemen at the tourna-
ment, and they were highly pleased with
their entertainment. They left for home
