TRAP SHOOTING CONTEST
The Glen Echo Gun Club to Hold a
Tournament.
Expert Marksmen of This City. Balti-
timOre, Germantown and Other
Places Already Entered.

The Glen Echo Gun Club has arranged
for big open trap shooting tourna-
ment ON Decoration Day. on their grounds
at Glen Echo. The list of entries already
includes all the expert gunners of this
city, as well as the most prominent ones
OF Baltimore, Germanto WI, Rockville and
Frederick City. 1t is intended that the
event shall arouse the some what dormant
interest in trap shooting, and large
number Of extremely handsome prizes
have been offered The shooting will be
governed by the American Association
rules There Will he twelve events on
the program, three of them being for
merchandise prizes, and the others sweep
stakes In the sweepstakes all purses viii
be divided into four moneys, where there
are fifteen or more entries, and where
there are less than fifteen, into three
moneys. In the sweepstake events the
price OF targets will be cents each,
and in the merchandise, cents each.
In the event of unfavorable weather the
shooting line Will be covered. thus furnish
ing complete protection to the marksmen.
The handicaps will be as follows: All shoot
ers will start at known traps. Any shooter
making more than so per cent, or securing
first or second money, will shooJat unknown
angles until his percentage falls below so
per cent, when be viii again shoot before
known traps
The range OF the club is perhaps one Of
the finest, and at the same time most
picturesque In this country Situated on
high bluff In the midst Of the bold scenery
of the Upper Potomac, aud with the clear
sky as background, il is doubtful IL the
range is surpa ssed by any In the world. The
gunners shoot from the platform OF what
was formerly the Chautauquan Casino,
which affords ample covered space for
large crowd. Theshooting willhegin prompt
ly at 10 o'clock in the morning, and VIII
probably conclude late in the afternoon, as
the program is a long one.
The electric cars, starting from Thirty
sixth and P streets, will run to Glen Echo
On five-minute schedule during the day,

who wish to go out.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can
not go to the seat of the disease Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure 1t you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one OF the best physicians in this country
for years, and is a regular prescription.
1t is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,

The perfect combination OF the two in

Interest in cycling among the members
of the various organizations is at present
divided between the club runs or other
strictly club events and the racing meets
which will soon occur at international
Park.
The latter is perhaps the main topic
Of interest for the reason that the big
meet on Decoration Day is only two weeks
distant.

any ether city of equal size in the country.

it fs good feature in one respect. 1t will
give the new riders a better chance at
championship honors.
With Fred Sims, Mudd and George Ball
out OF the way the coming amateurs Will
have a more open field than last year. This
is especially true of seconds and thirds in
all races. With Fred Scbade, last year s
champion, and Billee Sims still in the
''push" II looks as though the honors lie be-
tween them. But this view may be consid-
erably modified after a race or two occurs,
and it is possible to get an idea Of how the
new men have improved.
There are at least three amateurs who
did their best riding st the close Of last sea-
SON and their work In the opening races
Will be closely watched. These riders are
Wilson, Clum and Dannemiller.
Wilson is probably the most promising
one of the three. He is q splepdldly
built boy, hard as nut, and apparently
has the necessary courage of 8 winner
his riding in the closing race at Columbia
field last fall showed him to be remark
ably speedy man, and 1t is thought by
many that he will be the surprise of the
season.
International Park has been improved
greatly since last year The track has
been put in excellent condition, the gen.
eral accommodations much improved, and
a new judges stand erected.
On Decoration Day cars will be run from
Georgetown on q five-minute schedule,
which will be sufficient to carry out al
most any crowd.

Well attended, but even here it Is

BICYCLE RACES POSTPONED.
The Track Was Heavy From Recent
Rains.

The bicycle races scheduled to take place
at International Park yesterday after
noon were postponed as the track was en-
tireiy too muddy. The heavy rains OF the
past few days had made the track heavy
and the downpour OF the previous night
made it sea of mud.
1t was hoped that the sun and wind
would dry it sufficiently to allow the
races to take place, and the postponement
was not announced until late In the after
noon Consequently a large number OF
people made the trip to the park by car
and on wheels only TO meetdisappointment
The postponed races Will be run off on
next Saturday afternoon If the weather

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. April 2S.-The market for
stocks was lacking in animation to-day
and sank at times into condition OF I'M
qualified dullness, although evidences OF
firmnes and strength were not lacking
and the small net decline was due rather
TO the sympathetic effect Of the manipu-
lation by the bears of special stocks than
70 ANYTHING in the general situation Per-
hans the dullness was in some small part
due to the Inauguration Of the gold ex-
port movement, to-day first generally ad-
mitted to be due to normal causes grow
ing ont of the trade situation. Interest
in the gold movement was confined in a
very large part to those having to do with
the market for exchange, as it is now
generally understood that he gold move
ment has been held back for several days
at least by agreement of the exchange
houses. which agreement 1t was found
impossible to maintain after the engage
ment on Saturday of about Sl.OOO,OOo
for shipment to London on an order from
that center. There was little apprehen-
sion aroused in Wall street, however, by
the news that $1,5OO,OO0 in gold com
had been withdrawn from the spb-treas-
ury for export to Europe. For one thing,
it is felt that the present period of ex-
cessive imports of merchandise, which is
now throwing the exchange situation a.
gainst us, will necessarily be limited by
the enactment into law of the new Gus
toms tariff. The return of the gold that
may go out now is therefore confidently
expected with the normal merchandise
export movement later. Furthermore, it
is believed that besides the large treasury
gold reserve a portion of th large gold
reserve of New York banks would be
forthcoming for export purposes rather
than that they should have their stock
of legal tenders depleted. The extent
of the demand here growing out of the
demand of Japan and Austria on Lon
don is somewhat problematical. But no
apprehension is manifest in Wall street
that the gold exports will be sufficient to
deplete the treasury reserve to point
that would give ground for apprehension
regarding the currency. The market for
Americans in London was weak this
morning in face of an advancing tendency
for consols, and the New York market
took its opening tone from London.
But after the opening loss the general
market advanced to a point fraction
higher than Mondays close. The bears
then sought successfully to stem the adj
vance by attacks on individual stocks.
Sugar was a strong force in the market.

rally at the close and showing net gain

Trading in the bond market was mark
ed by renewal of strength and activity
in the Texas and Pacific issues which rose
1as and IA per cent respectively. The
general market lacked feature but ruled
generally higher. The aggregate sales
were S766,OO0. Governments were neg
lected but were steady at Mondays clos
ing prices. The sales were $1,000.
