was perching about, slipped a bit. Carr
fell to nine on the seven tn shot. This was
not 4 far fall, but it was rather calculated
To discourage he marksm n. On the next
fire Carr found the center again and con-
tinued TO find it until the ten shots were
fred and the scorecard showed a total
only lacking one oil being the possible. In
his last string of the fifty-shot firing Carr
made another Dinety-nne. This time his
break was in the first shot. He scored
only nine. but for nine firings thereafter
the probably peerless crack registered moth
ing less than ten.
All of The strings on the next fifty were
of remarkable merit. Before concluding
Carr decided that another ninety-nine
might be conveniently inserted into his
hundred-shot record. So he knocked the
center out Of the inside bulseye once
more. This time he scored his nine on
the ninth shot. During the latter half of
the match Carr contested with Corporal
Poulter. whose fame as the foremost rifle
shot Of the California National Guard
vent abroad some months ago. Poulter ia
the ritleman who had habit of finding
the Blunt Duilseye for the possible every
month or two. His shooting with Carr
yesterday proves him something high in
the ranks of pistol as we'll as of rifle
marksmen.
The full score registered by Carr was as

SHOTS For BIG HoNoRs.
Preparations for the California Club
Great Festival.

Some very extensive arrangements are
being made for The shooting festival which
is to take place at the range, near San
Rafael, under the auspices of the Califor-
MIA Schuetzen Club on August 10 and %.
The affair is the more important of the
two annually held by the club. and on this
occasion it promises to be of rather
eclpsing magnitude. There will be shoot
ing at point and man targets for valuab BILE
prizes. The honorary target will also be
used. and there will occur what is be-
lieved to be the most interesting OF all re-
cent competitions in the great general
m atch for the kingship of the festival. All
of the crack shots In the California Club
and those from other local organizations
will compete. a large gathering of
marksmen from towns throughout Cali
fornia is expected to be present during
the festival. Philo Jacoby is busy with
the completion of arrangements, and
under bis supervision nothing but success
can be safely anticipated.

bur, Notwithstanding. Carr did a deal of
target-hitting. This thing of scoring three
ninety-nines out of possible hundred in
a single afternoon is extraordinary, if not
anything more. The finest pistol-shot in
the Columbia Club has not registered more
than 81, and for this score he was pro-
claimed champion of the Pacific Coast.
The young man who succeeded to this
surprising extent was c. NJ Daiss. About
three months ago he found the center of a
standard American target for enough
points to lack only three of making COM
plete score. This was in Columbia Club

New candidates for congressional NOM
nations are now and then heard from in
the different districts, says the Sunday
News The latest is Mr.. James Robin
son, of Anne Arundel county, as the sue
cessor to Mr.. Barnes Compton in the
Fifth district. Mr.. Robinson is now one
of the professors in the State Agricultu-
raj College, and is prominent figure at
farmers meetings in different parts of
the State during campaigns He is said
to be the candidate selected by Mr..
Compton as his successor, and, if that is
the fact, will probably have the support
of the Wells Bond-Potee faction 10 his
eoanty. As the Moss-Bannon people
are now in control in the politics OF Anne
-Arundel, Mr. Robinson will start out on
his course to secure the nomination with
rocky road ahead of him. The latest
candidate among the Republicans of the
Fifth district is Ex-senator Coffin, of
Prince Georges county. Mr.. Coffin has
u large circle of friends in both parties
in the district, and it is said would be
the strongest candidate the Republicans
could nominate Senator Wilkinson, of
st. Mary's county is also named as a
possible candidate, and many of his
friends assert that he would make pop
ular run.

and there is not the slightest likelihood
that this government will recede from
them. The British contention does not
seek to find any fault with those progis
ions as being unfair under the judg-
ment of the arbitrator, but it sets forth
that the terms are too harsh to the in
terests of Canadian sealers. and the
United States is. therefore, asked to
agree to notifications for the present
year at least. As stated above. the
probabilities are that this will not be done,
regardless of any international complica-

TOO much wheat"
People must eat The majority Of the
people of civilized nations eat wheat
bread. Ifwheatis dear, they use cheap

corn bread When wheat is cheap, its
consumption increases slightly. Every
one knows that when the revenue duty
was taken off sugar by the Mckinley
law, our consumption oft increased per-
ceptibly The same is true of wheat or
any other staple food article. Couse-
quently, the world is eating all the
wheat it can consume-and yet there is
an enormous surplus left, which pours
into the worlds markets. ard depresses
