LOS ANGELES CITY GUN CLUB

The second semi-annual blue-rock tour
nament of the Los Angeles City Gun Club
will be given in the club grounds on March
20, 81 and %. The first shoot of the club
was such a decided success that one may
fairly expect the coming affair TO be some-
thing out of the ordinary in this line.
There are twenty-siX events on the card,
of which six are on for the third day and
ten on each of the other days. In the
third days sport there are two important
events. The first is the merchandise prize
shoot, open to all, OH which there are
twenty prizes given away. In this match,
the competitors shoot twenty-five singles
per man, the high guns winning prizes, and
all ties to he shot off miss and out. The
other important event for the same day is
the individual championship of Southern
California, for n diamond medal donated
by the club. This event is open to all
shooters of Southern California, at fifty
birds per man, the entrance money going
10 the present holder OF the medal. Each
shooter will supply his own birds in
this match. For the first day the big
match will be the f. g. Smokeless Powder
company's team shoot, each team being
composed of two men. Each contestant
will shoot at twenty-five birds, and the en-
trance money will go after the first match
TO the holders of the handsome cup do
mated by the E. G. Powder company. All
the other events on tho first day are
singles at from 10 to 20 birds. The big
event of the second day will be the team
trophy shoot for the handsome cup do
mated by the Los Angeles City Gun club, to
which the Dupont Powder company has
added $50. Each team will be composed
of five mon. shooting at twenty-five birds
per man. This trophy was won by the
Santa Ana team at the clubs first shoot,
and has since been shot for twice, on CO by
the Riverside and once by the Los Angeles
a An
coming out victorious. Rivalry runs pretty
high OH this shoot, and some re-
markable craftsmanship may be looked
for when this event is on. Besides
the regular prizes already mentioned, there
are three cash prizes TO be given to the
donates $50, SIS to the first and $40 to
the second shooter making the best aver
age during the tournament, shooting at
$50 or more birds. Tufts-Lyons also
donates $25 to the shooter or shooters who
participate in the greatest number of
events. The Selby Lead and Smelling
company donates S25, Sl5 to the first and
$40 to the second shooter making tho
greatest number of consecutive breaks.
The American Shooting association rules
will govern ali matches, entrance fees, in
Guiding the price of birds, unless otherwise
stated. All events will be shot from
known traps at unknown angles, and the
entrance money will be divided into four
moneys, 40, 80, 20 and 10 per cent.
The clubs large membership assures an
excellent meeting, all the crack shots of
this part of the state having also signified
their intention of entering.
James Is. Alenasco, the excellent presi-
dent and Ed b. Tufts, the popular secre-
tary, have been working very hard to make
this tournament success, and have cer-
tainly succeeded in getting up an excellent
card for the three days OF the shoot.

on as sure winner OF the match, his form
having bettered considerably in the last
games played. McStay, at SO is a hard
game for any one, and Bumiller's best
game will have to be present in order to
make winning in that match. The full

The coming shoot of the Los Angeles
City Gun club is attracting much attention
from marksmen. This progressive club
has proved it's ability to plan and carry out
California. Such sport is sport in its true
sense, involving neither danger nor cruelty,
but the highest skill being necessary to
win.
The suggestion of Secretary Willard that
the athletic and general sporting clubs
take initiative steps during Fiesta to make
their presence known should meet with
much encouragement from all those inter-
ested. Locally there is but little in the
sporting line TO speak of, and the dis
patches of sport bring but little except the
mouthings and rawlings of Messrs. Corbett
and Fitzsimmons. Will some kind friend
mlZzle them?

a Humbngging Story.

The story Of the plot to capture
William Penn first appeared in the
United States more than twenty-five
years ago. It has been contradicted
over and over again, but it still reap
pears periodically in the newspapers.
It is nothing less than miserable forg-
cry, intended to deceive the public,
either for the purpose of putting
its credulity to test or OF
creating a prejudice against the
early founders OF New England.
The name of Mr.. Judllins is entirely
unknown at this library; no such
chest of old papers as is alleged to have
been deposited in the archives Of the
society has ever been received, and no
such person as the one said to have
made the deposit is known to the
members. At the date of the docu-
ment Cotton Mather was only nine
teen years Old which fact alone would
be presumptive evidence that he was
not connected with any such piraticat
scheme. Furthurmore, 1 doubt
whether the word ''scampe' was in
use at that period. Notes and Queries.

Queen Bees by Mail.

G. B. Mann, Of Olympia, says the
Portland Oregonian, received by mail
a queen bee from Illinois, and it is in
teresting to know the method en-
pIoyed in shipping them. A wooden
box, an inch wide, three-q uarters Of
an inch deep and about three inches
long, isstrengthened ontheinside with
wood, and the corners rounded so that
the bees in transportation will be
iammed as little as possible. About
an inch of one end of the box is filed
with food for the bees then the queen,
with fifteen or twenty other bees, is put
into it, and the box covered with wire
mosquito netting. Over this netting
cardboard is pasted, upon which may
be written the name and address of
the party ordering the queen. In the
end of the box, opposite the supply Of
food, is fitted a perforated tin plate to
admit air to the box. During any
jarring which may be given to the box
in its long railroad ride, the bees all
gather round the queen and prevent
her from becoming injured. OF those
which thus projected the queen re-
ceived by G. B. Mann, only one was
killed en- route.

means of exterminating the pest ere

"School is dismissed" said Annie

into the open air.
Annie changed as quickly from the

her curls as the first Joy of liberty.
Then she took her lunch basket and
went down to the big beech tree by

You will not be surprised to learn
that Will Harvey came to the beech
tree almost as soon as Annie did, and
