unique feature of commencement week,
has become a permanent fixture, and

were suspended. The contest. although
one-sided, was fiercely fought through

largest crowd ever assembled on Bliss

meet at the traps of the Worcester

at 100 birds. This will be one Of the
warmest contests at targets that ma.

call out a rousing attendance.
Rivalry between the two men h.

recorded in New England. The two
men shot even up until the 97th birj
was thrown, when Hull slipped and
Forehand beat him out by a score Of
"a to SO. Since that time the Merden
man has been seeking a match with
Forehand. and although FOrehand has
expressed a willingness to meet Hui
again, the two men were as far apart
as ever until yesterday. A letter is eX-
pected from Jack Hull this morning
accepting the conditions of the race
and Forehand, with what practice he
will put in. today and tomorrow, will
be ready.
Hull is recognized as one of the
crackerjacks of the traps in the east
His work at the recent interstate shoot
at Buffalo was of the gilt-edged vari-
ety. Forehand has done little shoot
ing this season but is confident that
Hull will again fall down before him.
If Hull accepts and agrees II shoot
Saturday, Forehand is willing to make
the race at either 100 or 200 targets.

CLERKS THOUGHT THINGS.
RattIing of Falling Glass Gives Good I'M
tation Of Hail Storm.

Clerks in the city hall offices thought
for a few minutes yesterday afternoon
that something new in the way of a
storm was being sprung on them. About
$50 o'clock a peculiar rafting sound
was heard, and the rext moment a
shower of what looked like hailstones,
but which proved to be pieces of glass,
came Gathering to the sidewalk in a
perfect shower.
This novel shower had its origin IN
ar attempt to remove the section Of
Illuminated dial which was hung out
on the east side of the tower few
weeks ago, to show an experiment
which originated with Osgood Plummel
and Henry A. Knight. A rope was fas-
tened about the structure and a start
made to lower it from the tower, but
the wind, which was blowing a gale
twisted the structure around ano
hurled it against the tower wall, shat
tering the glass and causing sort OF
imitation hail storm. The section of dia'
was found to have been cracked in Z
dozen places by the elements since il
has been in place.
