the Mckinney meeting: "There we're

A considerable crowd of people, in
Guiding number of ladies, was pre-
sent at the gun CLUB grounds yesterday
afternoon to witness the shooting
matches. The first was q fifty live
bird match between j. w. Bicknell OF
this city and VIM. Allen of Dallas.
The latter has the reputation of being
right up close to Faurotte among the
wing shots of the state. Mr.. Allen
won the match, killing 43 out of so
pigeons to Mr.. Bicknell's 81 out of the
same number. The second event was
q ten-bird match, in which several
shooters participated. Allen, Gram
mer, Barron and Campbell tied for the
first place, with eight birds each, and
Haggard, of Dallas, and Witten for
second place, with seven each. It had
been intended to have blue-rock events
also, but the approaching rain broke
up the sport, which had been much
enjoyed. The next contest for the
wing-shot championship medal will be
next Saturday afternoon, when Mr..
Mcdowell, who now holds it, will de-
fend it against Mr.. Adams, who has
challenged him.-Fort Worth Regis

The orange crop this year in the
