But the practice of the fellows from the
rural districts has been gained in hunt

This is the second annual tournament
of the Ashland Club. Last year fifty
farmers contested with the Ashland
#sportsmen. All the country contestants
came from Hanover county. This year
lit is proposed to have them from every
county within a radius of one hundred
miles. Last year Mr.. Nv. White, of
Ashland, won the prize, which was a
ton OF guano. This is certain to be the
Most unique and the greatest. shoot
ever occurring in Virginia. Many Of the
finest field shots Of the State will be
present. The principal prizes will be of
much value
MI. M. D. Hart is the chairman of the
tournament committee, and all who wish
to enter the contest are requested to
notify him. --.nland is his post-ofice.
The rules which will govern the tourna-
ment will be published later.
