GUN CLUB VISITS BUTTE

Cyclists and CyCilenHts Hdu N
day yesterday for inspiring spins over the
excellent roads Of this city and valley.
The opportunity was improved by nun
dreds of the wheelers and IL was impossi-
BILE for the club TO secure quorum LOT
the transaction of business. The next at
tempt in this line will be an evening ses-
sion. when II is thought the wheelmen
will give the matter more attention. They
could hardly be blamed for neglecting
business routine yesterday. when the lev
el roads swept behind under the swift
wheels and the Joy of motion filied their
veins, the fresh breeze in their lungs anu
the glorious sunshine over all, inviting
them to partrake of its warmth and
beauty.
The Rod and Gun club, too, felt the IN
nuence of the balmy day and made an ex-
cursion TO Butte. where they made
pleasant visit with their brother sports
men. The members making the trip were
Messrs. Conley. Twohy. futile. Bartlett,
Brown and Dennison. They were royalty
entertained at the Butte club rooms and
at the shooting grounds in the afternoon,
where they INDUCED in friendly target
practice About 125 blue rocks were shot
by each man. The Anaconda team is in
very good trim this season and will make
a showing at the state shoot TO be held
MAY 22d to the lth, at Missoula, that

state. The material available consists of
the. best of the local fans" who are
anxious TO play ball. The effort n>te re-
Gently to organize a nine was not sue
cess, mainly because there seemed TO be
no one TO take the leadership. In this the
new plan is better fixed, because the de-
partment gives IL an organization to be-
gin with, and considerable prestige, also.

don. who is head pusher, are j. w.
