Foxhall Keene and Daniel I. Bradley were
defeated In a four-cornered l00-bird match on
the grounds Of the Carteret Gun Club yester-
day afternoon by &C. F. Francis" the Wilkes
barre crackajack. and j. A. Graves. another
we'll -kn clubman who has been prominent
in trap shooting circles for some years. The
shooters all stood at thirty yards rise. and the
scores at the finish showed that the Carteret
Clubs pair lost by two birds.
Keene and Bradley led at the end Of the first
half of the journey by one bird. but Bradley.
whose individual score at that point was the
best one of the quartet, went to pieces and lost
nine In the second half. three of which died out
of bounds.
The birds were faster than those used during
the big tournament. owing, to the fact that
there was a good breeze blowing across the
range which. coupled with the crisp Amos
phere. developed many screamers.
The match as originally arranged was for w.
s. Hoyt as FoXhall keene's partner. but, owing
to his non temperance at the grounds. Bradley

Cycling In Trance.

The cycle tax in France serves one
useful purpose-thlt Of illustrating the

So great has been the rise Of auiomo-

Frenchman's enthusiasm for the cycle.
The actual figures. however. speak en-
phatlcally to the contrary effect. In
