Capt. A. H. Bogardus. whose mar.
velous craftsmanship was recently
witnessed in Forepaugh's show iu Sc
dalia has issued the following chal.
lenge, dated Fort Scott, Kansas,
August g.:
Having been considered one of the
greatest shots in the world, having
held the championship Of America for
seventeen years and championship Of
the world for twelve years, having
never been beaten in q championship
match in my life. after winning it,
and being at all times ready to wager
that no living man can equal my
records, l desire to make the follow.
ing propositions:
Mr.. J. A. r. Elliott of Kan rs City,
is likely to hold the American Field
championship cup until he owns it.
After it becomes his property /
will post one of nv six medals or one
Of the two cups which 1 have won at
champion matches, all of which have
been held for two years. against all
corners, against his cup. shooting three
matches, the winner Of two out Of
three to take both cups. Matches to
be shot as follows: One in Kansas
City, one in Chicago and one in St.
Louis, or in any other three cities
that we may agree upon.
The conditions to be:
First, 35 single birds, Is yards rise,
one barrel II. & 7. ground traps, gun
below the elbow until the bird is on
the wing.
Second. Is pair of birds, 81 yards
rise. H. & T. plunge or spring traps.
Third. IS single birds, Nottingham
rules, 30 yards rise.
As Ihave held the championship for
seventeen years, l do not want cham
pionship honors to 90 with these
matches. My desire is to have few
friendly contests to ascertain how I
hold up in my old age. As I am en-
gsged by the Adam Forepaugh shows
until the close of their season, it will
be about three months before matches
could be shot, by which time l think
Mr.. Elliott will have become owner
of the cup"

W. V. J.
yIoLIsIsr AND PAINTER, DIED 1891.

He touched the tender strings
With an exquisite grace
As when q singer sings
High in some heavenly place.
And all the atmosphere,
So filled with music's sighs,
TIembled as when . tear
Falls from q womsn's eyes.
Sweet beauty spread anew
Her pinions overhead
The place was fresh with dew
As where the angels tread.
Care lost itself sgsin
Amid the worlds Wild din,
And peace instead of raiu
Leaped from his violin.
And then 10 meadow lands,
Sweet. blooming 10 the SUD,
Where the tsI flowers stapd
And the loS breezes run,
He gathered riches rare
And held them strong and true
10 colors light "a ar
And under skies of blue.
The forest, too, so lone
And deep and dark or dim,
His frequent steps had known
And gladly welcomed him;
The bird, the tree, the stream,
In m my . shady nook
We're his q 10 dream
And live within his book.
Rest, gentle heart and true,
And priucely soul Of worth.
Free from the storms that brew
And sweep across the earth,
For yonder to those skies,
Removed from sorrows din,
Angels With dswy eyes
Bid you to 'enter in!"

The report published in several
