Matters of Interest to Sportsmen in

sports, and is welcomed by bust
ness and professional men as one
OF the easiest and best ways of
divesting their minds from bust
ness care, and obtaining much
needed rest and recreation in a
quick an inexpensive manner.
Combined with being out of doors,
and breathing fresh, pure air, there
is excitement enough about target
shooting to make the blood course
faster through the veins, and clear
the brain of all worry and care,
and exercise enough in the hand
ling of the gun, and the bracing Of
the muscles, that with
stand the shock of the recoil
to induce good and healthful sleep.
There is not the liability to overdo
and injure the health that there is
in most other outdoor sports. With
these accessions to the ranks of
target shooters many of the objec-
tionable features that once were
prominent in this sport are fast
being eliminated and it is becom-
ing in every sense of the word a
"gentleman's game" 1t would not
surprise us in the least to hear that
ladies would soon take up an inter-
est in trap-shooting, and they
should be heartily encouraged so
to do. We would suggest "as one
of the cranks" that the San Antonio
Gun club make their Thursday
shoots open for their wives, sweet
hearts and lady friends and call it
Ladies' day. This would not only
stimulate trap-shooting but be the
cause of a larger attendance.
THE DOUBLE BARREL AT LAKE
VIEW.
With southeast wind blowing
almost hurricane over the traps,
twenty-five shooters belonging to
the San Antonio Gun club, and one
visitor, faced the pit yesterday.
Shooting was difficult indeed, and
few good scores were made. This,
however, did not dampen the en-
thusiasm of the gun cranks, for
they certainly enjoyed the sport.
