GUN CLUB MEN SHOOT.
The Forest City Clubs Anniversary
Contest.

NOAbOShs
The heavy rain yesterday morning did
not prevent the Forest City Gun Club
from holding its anniversary shoot accord
ing to announcement. The shoot began
promptly on time at the grounds on
| Hutchinsons Island, and the members were
banging away all day long and until
nearly night About 5000 birds were sho
at during the day, aud something over half
that number broken.
The moist condition Of the atmosphere in
terfered considerably with the shooting, the
| DIR quickly filling with smoke preventing a
| clear view of the birds. On this account
| tue scores were not up to the usual records
! Of the club.
! The rain kept away many who would
| otherwise have come and the attendance on
this account was much less than was ex-
pected There were about fifty OF the MEM
bers and their friends on the grounds dur
ing the day, however, and they had very
pleasant time, nothing occurring to disturb
the pleasure Of the occasion.
The rain brought about revelation to
some of the visitors Of the qualities of
Hutchinsons Island mud, and the path from
the landing to the club grounds was more
slippery than ball room floor. The walk
was almost equal to a first lesson on roller
skates. "As we slip we slide, we glide
along" became the motto of the sports
men.

was carried out. The following is the re-
