stance had delightful time.
There were about eighty members
and guests in the party that left on
Wednesday morning. Led by the band

at the Station by a committee from
the Cochran House, where dinner was
enjoyed later. The shoot was held on
the base ball grounds to which the
excursionists marched. Cheers greeted
the band and paraders all along the
route.
The shoot was interesting, as such
events usually are, and some good
scores were made. Street Commits
sioner Thomas MeskilPs was not one
of these, however, for though the
target was enlarged for him he has
not hit it yet. In fact, it was said
that he missed even the stone wall
against which the mark had been
placed. But the genial Thomas
wasn't the only competitor who failed
to score. Edward Gallagher won the
first prize for members which is %
handsome gold badge, with a score
of 13 out of a possible 10. E. F..
Cooney whose score was IL, captured
second prize, handsome centre
table. Thomas H. Baxter and Frank
"A. Brown tied for the guests prize
but the former won in the shoot off
by score of IL against Brown S
