grand success in every respect. The Jer-
sey City crack shots had not INDUCED in
much practice for the shoot, but were
confident of winning or being close to the
successful team in the championship
shoot. They selected five of the
best men and only one of the
quintette fell below his average. This
score was high enough, however, to en-
able the team to snatch the title with a
handsome margin.
They shot at a small ring target on
which the centres counted 10. The scores
made BY the Excelsior's team were as fol
lows:-W. Fl. Haliowel1. SO; L. P. Hansen,

The highest possible score for each con
testant was co, and for the team 800. The

Lakeside team, which was second with
265. The Towards were third with 1854,

James Gordon Bennett has a way Of
dropping in to examine the Herald at
the most unexpected times, and as his
visits often result in a general "shake
up" and reorganization Of the papers
managerial, editorial and working forces,
they are awaited with fear and trem-
bling by his employees. On one Of these
occasions, one Of the pressmen, man
who had worked for the elder Bennett
and was an excellent workman, though
guilty Of an occasional lapse from sobri-

and rubbed daub Of ink on the side Of
his face, completely concealing the dis
coloration Of the skin. Presently Mr..
Bennett came into the press room, and
with the superintendent, John Hays,
went carefully through, Criticising every
detail, and looking sharply at every en-
ployee. When about 10 leave, he turned
suddenly and pointing at the besmirched
pressman, said, "Mr. Hays, what is that

The Attractive Young Lady Uses Slang 10 Good
Advantage.

Softly shone the subdued light Of the
solitary gas-jet in the parlor of the Bill
derhack mansion on the avenue, accord
ing to the artistic liar Of the Chicago
Tribune, and soft was the voice Of the
abashed young Erasmus Shackelford,
who sat on the edge Of a chair, mopped
his heated face, and smiled with a kind
Of papier-mache smile at the enhancing
young woman in the dazzling aureole Of
whose auburn hair lie had huttered in
agonizing captivity for months and
months.
"Miss VIOLA" he said, clearing his
throat and speaking with every inHec-
tion of a man about to say something,
'you will not be surprised, presume,
II If l express the-the feeling, the
the opinion, as it were, that it's pretty
hot this evening""
Erasmus gave his face another fren-
zied swipe with his handkerchief and
subsided into palpitating silence.
"No," replied Miss Viola, with a smile
that brought large and ecstatic lump Of
something or other up into his throat, 81
am not surprised, Mr.. Shackelford. You
made the same observation earlier in the
evening""
"Y-yes," he gasped, II believe l did,
lit was not an entirely new remark.
In fact, it was kind of IA chestnut,

The agitated youth made another ef-
fort to crush down the lump in his throat.

his glowing face in tremulous jabs, his
voice took on a despairing sound-"a
sort Of roasted chestnut?'
'No, Erasmus" slowly answered the
maiden. "When a chestnut is roasted

The conscientious historian is bound tc
record the fact that at this point Erasmus

MERRTT'S FOUR LADIES.
Earh Was a Queen, and Ar. Bolton Paid a Coed
Deal 10 See Them.

ST. SMoNDs ISLAND, Ga, July ia
big game Of poker took place here a few
nights ago. The principal players were
northerners, who came over here from
Savannah for q day. After an hour or so
Of play, with scarcely enough difference
in luck to warm up the players, jackpot
was made which was not opened until
four or five hands bad swelled Il to hand
some proportions.
Young John z. Merritt, finding three
queens in his hand, threw in a twenty
dollar gold piece with great confidence.
Jay Hugh Bolton examined his hand and
found pair Of jacks and the ten, nine
and seven Of diamonds, one Of the jacks
being also Of that suit. With the alterna-
tive Of drawing to his four flush, Bolton
remarked that it would cost $50 TO play
and posted the cash.
All the players threw up their hands
except Merritt, who merely saw the raise.
Mr.. Merritt took one card and got his four
queens. Mr.. Bolton split his jacks, and,
drawing to his four flush, took in the eight
Of diamonds, making his hand straight
flush. Mr.. Merritt casually remarked
that his hand was worth $1,000, and put
that amount in the pot.
"My hand Is worth t5OOO," said Mr..
Bolton, in q tone whose nervousness
caused Mr.. Merritt to think that perhaps
an attempt to bluff was in progress.
give thousand more" said Mr.. Mer.
ritt.
Fifteen thousand more" Mr.. Bolton
retorted.
Merritt's confidence in his queens was
undiminished, and he chuckled to him
self to think what a snap Bolton had got
himself into. There might be some doubt
about Mr.. Bottoms ability to pay II he
lost, but 1t was worth the fisk.
Thirty thousand MORE" was the net
result of Mr.. Merritt's brief self-consulta-
tion.
Mr.. Bolton paused with his eyes over
his hand to see whether it was all right,
and apparently went into 4 mental COM
putation Of his bank account.

U. to balance the pot.
-Four queens" said Mr.. Merritt,
spreading out his hand on the table and
making a move as II to draw in the stakes.
"Not 50 fast, II you please-a straight
flush !" said Mr.. Bolton.
Mr.. Merritt's face fell and Mr.. Bolton
pOcketed his winnings-sometbing over
&43, ,O00-on that hand.
