About one hundred sporting men from
New York and Philadelphia witnessed
the shoot on the Riyerton Gun Club
grou1ds on Friday, when Yale Dolan and
Leonard, who defeated Work and Mac
Allister, of New York, the week before,
covered themselves with glory by defeat
ing Powell and Davis by fourteen birds in
a 400 live birds match. All the men
who are members of the Riverton Club,
we're in fine form except from the heat,
which was oppressive at times, and con-
sidering which they did exceedingly we'll
The evenness with which the men shot
throughout the match was remarkable,
they killing about the same number of
birds in the last twenty-five as the first,
which together with the fact that the
majority of the birds seemed to know
ay as soon as the trap was sprung, made
it shoot worth witnessing. The final
score was Dolan and Leonard, 1877 !;
Powell and Davis, I73.
The Mount Holly A. A. ball club lost
it's first game of the season, on Saturday,
to the All Scholastic nine, of Philadel-
phis. The reason was, as the score shows,
that Pckard's delivery was too mystify-
ing Mount Holly made one lone, solitary
hit. The home nine put up a good field
ing game, but it requires some stick work
to win.
The visitors are ex-college players from
the University of Pennsylvania. They
put up good game, and won the admira-
ton of the spectators by their gentleman
ly department.
The features of the game were Pickard's
pitching and two fast double plays by
Mount Holly.
Notwithstanding it was an interesting
and exciting game, the runs were all
made on errors.
The score was as follows:

The Riverton Yacht Club opened the
season Saturday, by special twelve mile
race on the Delaware between the Debu-
tante and Sea Gull.
The river banks presented a pretty ap-
pearance, the clubhouses and residences
being gayly decorated with the club COL
ors and flags, the grass being dotted with
several hundred persons who witnessed
the race. A dinner was served to the
guests under the trees in front of the
Lawn House. Two 75-foot tables we're
spread, the effect of which was livened
up by the gay and pretty costumes of the
diners.
The Debutante was under command of
Vice-Commodore A. M. Taylor, and the
Sea Gull was sailed by Captain L. G. Cook.
Both are boats of the Riverton Yacht
Club. The course was from an imaginary
line between stake boat and the River
ton wharf, thence up and around spar
buoy No. 81, down to stake-boat below
Riverton and back to starting point twice

The starting gun was fred by Miss

vices in this town in the near future.
Yesterday a team of horses belonging
to +. Robinson, of Scranton. was
standing outside the Traction house,
when horse and buggy came up the
street, which scared the team and
they plunged down the street. The
driver ran out of the hotel in time to
reach over the front wheel and grasp
the reins. While endeavoring to stop
his horses he was struck by the hub
of the wheel, which caused him to
fall. He was dragged some distance,
and although not seriously hurt, was
badly bruised. The steam was stopped
near Coles blacksmith shop.

old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
