Walking along ana adm1rlng tne Ocau-
ties of nature, picking up chestnut
here and gathering bunch OF grapes
there, listening to the birds singing,
was finally brought to my senses by
the report of shot gun. Walking
some distance farther, at last arrived
at the shooting ground situated in
field near the road leading to the
Huntington fair grounds, l found
with the exception Of one man and he
had two guns. Daniels Farms, Hunt
ington and Long Hill were represented.
Each man shot at Is clay pigeons.
There were several kinds of guns repre-
scented, good, bad and Indifferent.
Well, l took chair on the grass and
watched the proceedings, and l want
10 say right here I enjoyed myself and
hope to 20 again. Bang, would go the
gun, some one would say ''Safe," that
meant the bird made Of clay was not
hit. l noticed the man who had miss
ed the bird would generally say, 81
don't see how l missed it, l had that
bird covered" But, MI Editor, l did
not hear anything when they broke
the pigeon, but on the contrary, they
would step back with one of those Il
broke it!' smiles on. Well, the shoot
went on with miss and hit until 1t
was over. One of our sportsmen from
Long Hill, T. jenkins, came out ahead,
breaking 16 birds out of Is. E. Sher-
man with two others, one from Daniels
Farms and one from Huntington were
tied for second place with II birds
each. Mr. Dayton, another Of our
sportsmen, made splendid showing
by missing Is out of %. Mr. Dayton
thinks there is a chance for him to i'm
prove, and his friends hope he will.
The gentleman referred to above, who
brought two guns, found out after the
shoot was over, that the shot he was
using was not large enough to break
the pigeons, consequently he did not
do as we'll as he intended. He proba-
bly, will use better judgement next
time. Just at the conclusion of the
shoot, B. Turney came on the ground.
Mr. Turney, being we'll known, was
asked to shoot. His first excuse was
"did mt have gun," but the gun was
soon found for him. Then he had an
poor condition. but after some per-
suason' he shot at five pigeons and
broke five. | thought it was very
good. The thought occurred to me
when Mr. Turney's sight was good he
might have broken six out of five.
Just at that time ore of the gentle
men from Daniels Farms brought on
the ground a nice pail of cider and in
vited us to help ourselves which we
did. We finally wished our friends
good bye and hoped we would meet
again, and started across the fields for
home. Mr. Turney had a young bird
dog with him of which he was quite
proud, and related many of the dog
good points to us. At last we Saw the
dog standing still and it looked to me
as though he was pointing at some
thing and was expecting to see some
thing fine from this great dog. But
to Mr. Turney's disgust it proved to be
chicken that belonged TO farmer.
We didn't hear anything more about
the dog except that Mr. Turney said
the dog was young. At last we arriv-
ed home in good condition, having
spent pleasant afternoon with our
friends at Daniels Farms.-[Sports-

REV SAMUEL GURNEY IN AFRICA.

REV SAMUEL GURNEY IN AFRICA.
To the Members and friends of Long
Hill Methodist church, Dear Friends:-
From the very beginning Of my work
with you I knew that you had given
me your fullest confidence and love
and what you then gave you have
never since Withdrawn. Since my,
pastorate in your church I have never
ceased to carry you upon my heart and
to hold you up before God for His
blessing. AS we are thus bound to-
gether in love, need no apology for
addressing this letter to you. would
SO gladly stand In your pulpit and tell
you about my life and work in Africa,
but as that cannot be, have decided
to let my pen speak for me, feeling
sure that your love for me and the
Masters work will make you most
willing listeners.
Our voyage out from home was, on
the whole, very pleasant one. OF
course we had the usual experience Of
sea-Sickness, but one would hardly ap-
preciate the fair weather If there were
no storms. We reached our destina-
ton just two months from the date Of
our departure from New York, having
travelled IL, 900 miles. 1t was long
journey and we were not sorry when 1t
was ended.
Perhaps you will remember that
