Oil City Wins the Shoot.

A novel and very interesting event in
sporting circles took place on the shoot
| ing grounds of the Tionesta Gun Club
last Saturday, when the Titusville and
Oil City gun clubs pulled off the decId-
/ ing contest in series of three shoots.
The conditions of the contest were for the
championship OF the northwestern part
of the State, match to be shot on the
grounds of each club, and if tied then the
deciding shoot to take place on neutral
the Tionesta grounds were selected for
the third and decisive contest.
The Oil City team arrived on the morn
ing train bringing several extra men and
with them, and spent the forenoon visit
ing friends and taking in the town. At
noon the Titusville team arrived, also
backed by number of their extra shoot
ers who came along to see that their club
should not be outdone in enthusiasm.
Meantime the rain kept on drizzlng
down, sometimes decending very CO.
piously, but nothing daunted or damp
bird smashers, and through it all the
match progressed to the end.
Before the match was called on num-
Der of open events were shot, which we're
some of the Tionesta shooters. The teams
consisted of FIVE members from each club,
as follows: Oil City--Messrs Graham,
Eaton, Lay, Bates, Dorworth. Ttusville
-Messrs. Kellogg, Schwartz, Andrews,
Jordon, Myers. Each contestant shot at
100 birds. Both teams are exceptionally
strong at the traps, but they had many
unfavOrable obstacles to contend with
rain, wind, dark back ground and a
dark day-yet with it all, very good
shooting was done, and most of the con-
testants kept up their usual percentage.
The crowd which was drawn to the
island to witness the interesting event
was large, notwithstanding most OF the
sight seers were obliged to stand during
the afternoon. Had the day been pleas
ant the shooting grounds, large and COM
modious as they are, would scarcely have
held the crowd. One hundred birds each
were shot at, and thrugh out the contest
it was difficult to tell which team would
be winner, and not nutil the last shot was
fired was there any certainty as to whom
belonged the victory. The summing up
showed that Oil City had won by narrow
margin of IL points. Following is the
score.

YOckrOih.

A quiet home wedding took place at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs, j. p. Houser,
Tidioute, on Wednesday afternoon, June
10th, 1908, at four o'clock, when their
niece, Miss Nellie August, ofPlesantville.
was united in marriage to Geo. f. Vock-
roth, of Tionesta. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. f. M. Kernick, of the
NJ. L. church, and was attended only by
members of the families.
After congratulations lunchion,
thoroughly appreciated, was served TO
those present. The bride was attired in a
neat travelling suit and carried brides
roses. The decorations were of green
and white tastefully arranged in mod
est and unassuming manner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vockroth left on the
evening train for Pittsburg. The guests
from out of town were Mr.. and Mrs. w.
G. August and Miss Mary August OF
santville.-Tidioute News.
George has host of friends in Tionesta

After the contest was over number of
other events we're shot, "doubles," part
ners" and walking shots" In the lat
ter, which is very amusing sort of
sport, the shooter calls "pull' and then
starts toward the trap, being obliged sto
keep on the move, while the puller
springs the trap at any time, being care
iul TO take the shooter as much unawares
as possible, thus affording much sport
for the spectators. We believe Mr.. Love,
of Titusville, excelled in this contest,
having clean score (OO) in ten birds,
There is no sport that is quite so clean
and free from roughness of any sort, az
that of trap shooting, its very decency
and lack of opportunity for intrigue
making it attractive to gentlemen only
the gambling element finding little in the
sport to amuse or attract. 1t ean thus be
understood why the visitors were such a
jolly, good-nstured se', and how it came
they seemed so thoroughly to enjoy tie
days outing in the face of such unfavor-
able weather conditions. Among the Wis.,
itors, besides the teams, were Charlie
McClintock and -. -. SALESMAN, of Oil
City, and Messrs. Love, Carnahan and
Bue, of Titusville, all enthusiastic trap
shooters, The absence of G. NJ. Loomis,
of the Oil City gun club was much re-
GREETED by his Tionesta friends, vino look
upon him as the life of party Of this
sort.
In it's report of the days sport the
Derrick has these words of praise for the
reception accorded the visiting teams:
The Tionesta club was hospitality itself,
and did every thing in its power to enter
tain its visitors, all of whom express their
satisfaction with the completeness of the
arrangements for such a shoot. Every
body understood his business and the
shoot moved along like clock work. The
Oil City Gun club has extended an invi-
tation to the Tionesta club to pay ii Wis
it in the near future. which Tionesta has
accepted, at which time Oil City will en-
deavor to return the courtesies extended
to their team on Saturday.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not

biliousness, jaundice, constipation and in
active livers, by arousing the secretions,
moving the bowels gently, yet effectually,
and giving such tone and strength to the
g'ands of the stomach, liver and bowels
that the cause of the trouble is removed
entirely. These famous little pills exert
decided tonic effect upon the organs in

few days there will be no return of the
trouble. II. c. Dodson.
