THEY CAPTURE GALL

There appears to have been something
of a misunderstanding among the mem
bers of the West Side gun club regard
ing the shoot yesterday.
It was announced in the STATE JOUR
NAL last week that the Hub Clothing
Co.'s special prize event, which was post
poned Thanksgiving Day on account of
darkness, would be shot off at the next
regular shoot of the club, which was
yesterday, but owing to the fact that not
a sufficient number of birds could be Sc
cured for the event, it was again post
poned Messrs. Elliott, Biscoe and Hind
marsh were out of town all day and were
greatly surprised to read in the morning

Under this head the Capital says:
s'The frst.shoot was for prize offered
by the Hub Clothing company. The con-
test was for ten live birds. H. S. Mont
gomery captured first prize and J. G.
Clark second.
montgomery won first prize in the
shoot for county officials purse.'a Clark
took second money"
1t appears that there were but three
competitors for the prizes, which. by the
way. had not been selected as yet
To the other mem ber5 of the club who
had considered the contest off. and had
no opportunity to compete for the prizes,
yesterdays shoot seems a little irregu-
lar. but they say, rather than cause any
disruption in the club. the prizes will be
awarded to Mr.. Montgomery as freely as
though he had defeated the whole club
instead of two members
There has been no Individual match ar
ranged between p. s. Hindmarsh and J.
c. Elliott, to be shot off next Saturday, as
stated in the Capital, and owing to the
lateness OF the season the race between
them, which has been postponed from
time to time, is practically declared off.

House of Commons today by MIR.
Edmund Robertson, Civil Lord of
the Admiralty Referring to the fact
that the naval defense act would ex-
pire In 1895, Mr.. Robertson said that
the expenditures under that act had
been 922, pa, 900 which had added to
the strength of the navy seventy
ships, all of which were in service or
ready to be put into service. He
congratulated the House upon this
result. He then gave details of the
new programme which includes
works at Gibralter, Dover, Portland
and Hongkong, the aggregate cost of
which will be G8,7OO,OOO. To meet
the expenditure, he said, it was pro-
posed to raise a loan payable by
terminable annuities extending over
thirty years.

Hawaiian Sugar in New York

Hawaiian Sugar In New York
The report published that the large
ship Kenilworth which has been
chartered to carry a cargo Of sugar
from Honolulu to New York is the
first vessel to be employed in that
special trade is erroneous, says the
New York Maritime Journal. We
are informed by the well known New
York weigher James A. Liesgang,
that he weighed two csrgoes of
Hawaiian sugar which were landed
at New York from the bark Amy
Turner and a German bark about ten
years ago. Both cargoes were con
signed to the firm of Charles Luling
g. Co, now Watjen, Toei q Co, and
were retained in the warehouse for a
long period owing to dispute be-
tween the U. S. Government and the
consignees in relation to the duty
imposed on them.
