CRACK SHOTS Al SEA GIRT.
Few Teams in the COntest-GeOraia
BOys Hope TO Hold Their own.

Sea Glrt, N. j., Aug. est was decided
last night to drop from the regular team
practice the six lowest men, and as the
result of this decision Schley. Minis. Hop
kins, Dreyer Freeman and Garden were
not allowed to shoot with. the team to-
day. The fifteen men shooting for posi-
ton on the state team Of twelve men
have devoted the entire day to the GOO
yard range and the results were uniform
ly good
There win be no team from Pennsyl-
vania in the Hilton trophy and interstate
matches, and Massachusetts is not ex-
pected, although they may come. The
absence of these teams leaves only Geor-
gia, the District of Columbia, New York
and New Jersey to compete in the big
matches and makes these matches less
interesting than they would be If more
teams were present.
Gen. Spencer has received a telegram
from the Washington men stating that
they will arrive at $50 O'Clock tomorrow.
Nearly all of the New Jersey team are
already on the grounds and are putting
in good work on the practices, as team
shooting does not begin until next Tuese-
day. The New York team will hardly
be here before Monday noon.
Monday will be devoted to individual
matches and pool shooting and the men
who take no part in either will have that
day to use as they please.
1t is the impression here that the Inter
state match will be shot on Tuesday, the
company and carbine contests to come off
on Wednesday, The struggle for the Hilton
trophy, to occur on Thursday. Friday is to
be devoted to the regimental match. Upon
the completion of the days shooting on
Friday all the team competitions will be
finished, and Saturday will be spent on the
Wimbledon Cup match at LOCO yards, and
on the remaining Individual matches.
Capt Cam, Lieut.. Richmond and Lieut..
Wilson have been practicing for eight
weeks or more in order to hold the VIM
bledon cup in Savannah, and with such
shots to represent her, it VIII not be sur
for another year. The regimental teams
from the Guards, and the Hussars have
been unable TO get any practice at all on
the slrmsh at Sea Girt and consequently
they do not know what they can call a
good average run. Under the conditions
existing here, the shooting has been brok-
en- into so often by circumstances COM
pletely beyon6sehe control of the team that
it is impossible to make an accurate com
parison of the scores of the men firing.

A VOICE FROM KLoNDIKE.
MIR. Mngee Writes of the Difficulties
of the PASSES over the Hills.


San Francisco. Cal, Aus. 2S.--Thomas
Magee, who is en- route to the Klondike
sold fields with a party Of San Francis
coans, writes the Associated Press from
Lake Bennett, b. c.. under date Of Aug.
10, confirming previous reports of che ter
rible conditions in White pass trail, from
Skaguay. and relating the almost unsur-
mountable difficulties to be encountered
by the gold hunters who prefer that route
to the more formidable Chilcoot pass
route.
lie and his party left Skaguay on Aug.
10, with nine burros, and consumed four
and one-half days I'm making the trip of
forty miles TO Lake Bennett. Twenty-Five
times the pack animals were begged neces-
stating. not only the unpacking of each
load. but also the lifting of the animals
bodily from the mlre Another trouble
was the narrowness of the tran in places,
which necessitated the unpacking of the
burros and Transporting the supplies by
hand over these spots.
The Magee party took a boat up from
San Francisco in sections. but was COM
PEELED to leave It at the beach at Skaguay,
as It was utterly impossible to carry 1t
over the trail. At the head of Lake BEN
nett however they found a firm of boat
builders who charged no more for good
boats than would be paid in San Francis
co $1i0. They had orders ahead for
forty-dve boats. which would occupy
them until Sept. 90 at least.
Mr.. Magee thinks that the majority of
the crowd now at Skaguay and Dyea will
have to abandon all hope of getting into
the Yukon country this year and is GER
tain that late comers have no chance of
doing so.
lie also deplores the fact that so many
would-be prospectors seem to overlook the
fact that once started from Dyea or
Skaguay, food and other supplies are not
to be purchased for love or money, as no
one has any more than he absolutely
needs for himself. lie thinks that 7j0
pounds IS about the right amount for
each man, but says that hundreds are
starting out with less than one-half that
amount and predicts disaster for them.

Competition with the Jones Holds
inEs.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2S.-By the end OF
the week ali the coal in the Monogahela
river will practically be in the hands oe
one firm and prices will be made by the
lucky possessors of the mineral.
There has been a steady increase In tho
price of coal al the week. At the present
run-of-mine coal brings from 10 to 10la
cents. When the present strike began
the firm OF John II. Jones & Co. saw that
prices must advance and they quietly went
to work and bought coal everywhere they
could al prices which now seem very
cheap. They have been keeping this coal
and now practically control the coal trade
in this vicinity.
When seen to-day, Mr.. Jones refused to-
say just how much coal they had. but adj
mltted that the amount was over 10000
bushels. Inquiries among other coal firms
developed the fact that there was very lit
tie coal outside Of that held by Jones 50
Co, and that that firm would be able to
get their own price. To-day they were
asking 9ls cents for run-of-mine, and 1Ols
cents for lump coal This is an advance
of cents over yesterday and II was pre-
dicted that coal would be selling at u
cents on Monday.
This afternoon slack was selling at 10
cents by the barge load. While some coal
is being received here from West Virginia
it is not for domestic purposes and will
not affect the price to any extent.
