making Southern tour In mid-winter has
attracted the attention of shooting men all
over the country and there is every pros
pect that the team, when it starts, will
be attended by considerable contingent
of sports from Northern cities. The strug-
gle for the national championship trophy
"a magnificent cup-will afford a specacle
that will hardly be missed by sporting men
from New York to the Gulf. Special
coaches will be run for the accommodation
of the tourists and their wives, and, al
though an effort has been made to keep
the size of the party down to reasonable
limits, it promises to be an unusually
large and merry one. The challenge cup
trophy, which is TO be the prize of the con-
test, will be held one year by the winners.
Under the rules of the American Shoot
ing Association, where inanimate pigeons
are used, each contestant having twenty
five birds, thirty yards rise is allowed in
singles for 10-bore guns, and twenty-elght
yards rise for l2-bore guns.
The weight of the gun is unlimited. The
charge for 10-bores Is IL ounces of shot,
and for 12-bores 1L ounces. Any marks
man knowingly using larger quantity of
shot forfeits his entrance money, and his
score is wiped out. The powder charge is
unlimited, however. In singles only one
barrel is loaded at a time, the cartridge be-
ing placed i'll the barrel after the marks
man takes his position. In doubles both
barrels are loaded at once at the score.

ers, and because the coming convention
and the visit TO Philadelphia will doubt
less result in the establishment of similar
exhibitions in other cities. The builder
has always claimed that he was unjustly
at the mercy of the architect. The latter,
according to the ordinary business form,
holds the certificates of pay, and the
builder cannot get his money unless the
architect is ready to say that his designs
have been carried out. A builder some
times fnds it hard to make an architect
state distinctly what kind of work he wants
IN the various parts OF a building. The
architect makes his plan, the builder goes
ahead with the work, and the owner isn't
satisfied. Then the owner goes to the
architect with sskick" and the architect
lays the blame upon the builder.
This isn't the sort of wall | intended"
he says, and the builder can only reply
that that was the sort he understood was
required. 1t is often impossible for the
owner to decide where the fault lies.
There is need of some satisfactory ar
rangement of samples, which remain I'M
changed, and can always be used as ref
erence in case of disputes. This is what
the Philadelphia exchange building sup
plies. Therein is wall IS feet long by AZ
feet high, divided into twenty-one parts,
of which eleven are of stone and ten of
brick. They illustrate twenty-one stand
ard forms and styles of finish. A num-
bered placard is affixed to each of these
divisions, and on it is full description of
the material and methods used in con-
struction of such a wall.
There is no Juggling with samples of that
kind. An owner can select what he wants
and the architect can designate it by num-
Der. When the work is done it is easy to
see whether the plan has been followed by
the builder.
In the basement of the Philadelphia ex-
change building is the trade school, and
the builders will have chance to compare
it with that under, Colonel Auchmuty's
establishing such schools is strongly set
forth in the declaration of principles" of
the national association. The association
urges the establishment of manual
training as part of the public
school course, but if that were done
there would still remain the need of

the special night schools under the direc
tion of the various local trades organiza-
tions for the benefit and improvement of
apprentices. Colonel Auchmuty's school
teaches bricklaying, plastering. plumbing.
blacksmith's work. Doubtless there will
be addresses and debate upon the trade
school question IN the coming convention.
But the most interesting of all the sub
ieets To he considered is arbitration. This
matter has been, for the past year, under
consideration by the following committee:
]. Milton Blair, Cincinnati; Anthony lit
ner, ST. Louis; George c. Prussing, Chi
cago: Marc Eidlitz, New York, and David
A. Woelpper, OF Philadelphia. A report
has been prepared for the convention. and,
whatever may he its nature, there is no
doubt that it will be warmly debated.
This subject is intricate. In the first
place the association recognizes and en-
courages the formation by workmen of
trades unions with a central body. 1t also
claims similar right of organization.
Given. then, the two kinds of organiza-
tions, shall arbitration be the means by
which in general disagreements shall be
settled? Ii so. what are the proper ques-
tious for arbitration How shall the
Joint board of arbitration be formed?
The association Is not Il unit on the first
of these questions. It viii probably be de-
bated; and among the champions on either
side viii be Mr.. Sayward, OF Boston, and
Mr. McAlister, of Cleveland. The former
is inclined 10 look with favor upon any
reasonable plan OF arbitration; the latter IS

but the club as a body acts Independently.
1t has handsome rooms at No. 20 East
Twenty-nrst street, and these will be pre-
pared for the reception of the visiting
builders. Among the interesting things
which they viii see there-exclusive of n
frst-rate luneh-will be fine collection of
photographs of all the principal buildings
in the city. The handsome, well-lighted
room now used for billiard playing, will
include both the lunch and the photo
graphic exhibition.
No doubt the visitors will vote unani-
mously that the Building Trades Club is
great institution, even as 1T stands, though
it is nothing to what it will be if it's am
bilious designs are carried out-and there
is no reason to doubt that they will be. The
club is negotiating for the lease of a new
home which one of the members told me
was now a ''palatial residence. When they
get it they will ut it up III a manner well
htted to supply both business and social
needs. The nrst floor will be used for bust
ness purposes. There will be opportunities
for conferences between men engaged in
different departments of building work;
between contractors and sub-contractors,
for instance. Stenographers and type
writers will be furnished by the club, and
all sorts of documents can thus be speedl-
~ prepared. On the fioors above viii be
the rooms for social purposes, the cafe and
parlor 1t is an institution likely to be
duplicated, or at least initiated, in other
large cities by and by. Its membership is
drawn exclusively from those actively en-
gagged in building work. 1t has been in
existence only year and a half, but is al
ready an assured success.
The club talks shop" and is not
ashamed of it. Within its walls one hears
nothing but discussions upon subjects re-
lating TO building.

had a conversation with an officer of the
association who told me that as a general
rule the builders granted the workmen the
right 70 decide for themselves the question
OF hours and pay. This was not matter

builders assert, the question of employing
or discharging this or that man, is mat

such an arrangement, If agreed upon by
masters and workmen, would seem TO
amount TO permanent arbitration upon
certain questions.
As to the constitution of the board the
gentlemen 10 whom / have referred
thought the standing committee of the ex-
change would answer as its representative
to meet similar body from the trades
union.
A paragraph from the associations dec
laration OF principles may be interesting as
showing the general ground it takes and
as indicating to the sociologist whether
any form of arbitration is likely to be re-
commended which will diminish the num-
Der OF strikes in the building trades, so
frequent in the last few years.
First--This association affrms that absolute
personal independence of the individual to work
or not to work, TO employ or not to employ, is a
fundamental principle which should never be
questioned or assailed; that upon it depends the
security of our whole social fabric and business
prosperity, and that employers and workmen
should De equally interested in its defense and
preservation. While upholding this principle as
an essential safeguard for all concerned, this
association would appeal 10 employers
in the building trades to recognize that there
arc many opportunities for good III associations
OF workmen; and, while condemning and OPP
posing improper action upon their part they
should aid and assist them in all just and hon
orable purposes. That while, upon fundamental
principles 1t would be useless to confer or arbi-
trate, there are still many points upon which
conferences and arbitration are perfectly right
and proper, and that upon such points
It is a manifest duty TO take adyan-
tage of the opportunities afforded by
associations to confer together, to the end that
strikes, lockouts and other disturbance may be
prevented When such conferences are entered
into, care should be taken to state clearly, in
advance, that the fundamental principle must
be maintained, and that such conferences should
only be competent TO report results i'll the form
OF resolutions of recommendation to the indi-
yiduals composing the various organizations
participating, avoiding all forms of dictatorial
authority.
In preparing to receive the visiting men,
bers of the craft. the New York Mechanics
and Builders Exchange has been assisted
by the Building Trades Club. an organiza-
ton which is the only one of its Kind in
the country. OF course the club members
are nearly all members of the exchange,

bird, but it may be killed on the ground
with the second barrel if the first is fired
while it is on the wing. A bird out of
bounds, or refusing to fly when the trap is
pulled, or wounded with the second barrel
when the shooter has fired at it on the
ground with his first, is in any of these
events declared no bird. Ties at live bird
matches are shot off as follows: Ten bird
matches at three birds; eleven to twenty
five bird matches at five birds. As in the
case of inanimate bird shooting none but
contestants can be challengers.
In doubles the rise of 10-bore guns is
twenty-six yards, and for 12-bores twenty
four yards. In the main the rules for
singles govern double-bird matches. Both
birds must be on the wing when shot at,
and if only one flies the shooter can have
another pair if he has not shot at the first,
or if he does shoot and kills it on the wing.
If he shoots and misses, it is declared a
'slost bird" A missfire with his first
barrel entities him to another pair of birds
if he does not discharge the second barrel;
but if he fires it the result must be scored.
Should the second barrel miss fire
the result of the first barrel is
to be scored, and he may shoot
with one barrel only at another pair of
birds. A discharge of both barrels at
single bird counts as s'lost bird" but the
accidental discharge of the second barrel
is to be declared mo bird" Where both
birds are killed with one barrel it counts

spondence. Many of the mos. beautiful
women in New York society come from
the South. Mrs. Harry Dew, whose beauty
is much talked about in fashionable cir
cles. was Savannah girl. Her slow, sweet
grace of speech and manner has been the
cause of much heartburning among the
high-bred sisterhood of Gotham. Her hus-
band is well-known physician and a
nephew of the president of William and
Mary college.
Mrs. Dew is slight, willowy woman,
with dark hazel eyes, auburn hair and q
complexion like the petal of an apple
blossom. She is greatly devoted to her
young husband, and is at home with him
as much as possible summer and winter. l
remember Mrs. DIR. Dew as the lovely Bes-
sic Martin. and was first attracted to her by
hearing her sing one evening that pathetic
song. Douglas, Tender and True"
To hear her sing it once is to carry
the remembrance of it through ones
life. Her voice has been highly
cultivated and is wonderfully sweet.
There is a sad romance connected with her
early girlhood She was engaged when
quite young to Jefferson Davis, jr., SON Of
the Confederate president, and was to have
been married to him in a very short time,
when he was stricken down with cholera
and died in few hours. 1t was great
blow to the young fiance, and she with
drew from society and the gay world for
several years. Her family were intimate
friends of the Davis family, and she was
great favorite with them. Bessie being
the only daughter, and the idol of fond
parents and brothers, everything that love
and affection and money could do to take
her mind from her trouble was resorted to.
They travelled with her, and after much
persuasion she again entered society. She
met her fate in the charming DR.. Dew.

all the contingencies mentioned the
shooter is entitled under the rules to
another bird. All ties are to be shot off at
the original distances as soon as possible
after the match has closed, and with the
original number of birds, when the match
is one of series as in the present instance.
Under the American shooting Associa-
ton rules, no challenge can be considered
unless the challenger is a contestant. All
the matches at live birds are to be shot
from tive ground traps, placed five yards
apart In the segment of circle, the radius
beng twenty yards from the score, and the
traps nunf6ered from left TO right consecu-

with the surface of the ground when open,
and gives the bird its natural fight when
starting. The boundary for both single
and double live birds is the line of a nifty
yard circle and a dead line at score A
missfire with first barrel and the second
barrel being discharged, and missing, is
scored as lost Bird" but if the second
barrel kills on the wing, it scored as dead

but one barrel loaded. A bird killed on
