One occasionally hears complaint fror
the travelling public on the days the Gun
club holds its shoots on the brisbane field
The shot strike in and about the highwa
in manner that sometimes trightens bot
horses and drivers. H. A. Robertson say
that he was driving Memorial day and tina
the shot struck his horse with sufficien
force to make him run the marks wer
visible after he reached Putney. If tn
club understand that their shoots are in
terfering with public travel, they can n
doubt move far enough back from the roa
to remedy the inconvenience.
Banquet hall was opened Thursday even
ing and all citizens interested in organizing
a Fourth of July celebration in Below
Falls were invited to be present and dis
cuss the matter and if thought advisabl
take preliminary steps in the matter. Som

taken. 1t is safe to say that business me
of the community do not want or care tor
celebration this year, ard it would be foo
ish to attempt anything Of the kind withot
the solid backing of a good proportion I
the busir ess community. In many place
these celebrations are under the directio
of the board of trade.
