THE RALEIGH GUN CLUB.
Some Fine Shooting For The Hand
some Prize Lately Donated.

Our city, or to be more personal, the
Raleigh Gun Club, has some clay tar
get cranks that are far ahead of base
ball cranks, when it comes to shoot
ing at inanimate objects.
This assertions is borne out by
twelve members shooting in the rain
at the weekly shoot last Thursday,
when they could have waited until the
next day and had sunshine and fine
day for this kind of sport. The good
attendance is attributable to the fact
that this was to be the first shoot for
the Hunter Arms Co. prize, which ar
rived this week. 1t is u beautiful low
ing cup, far surprising the eXpecta-
ton of the members, but these people
do nothing by halves, and from their
reputation as gun manufacturers, the
members could but expect handsome
present when they consented to donate
il.
Very good scores were made and it
was close race between MI j. i.
Johnson and Mr.. Joe Ellington. Ell
lington won on the score of II out of
so. Charlie Arthur made the longest
run-thirty- straight. Each mem
Der shooting for this cup will be hand
icapped each week according to his
previous weeks score. It is hoped to
have good weather next week, and with
it the club desires to see many Visi-
tors out, especially the ladies.
The following scores were made at
fifty targets:

Board of Agriculture
Decides to Start Work.

thorized by the last Legislature and
the plans of which have heretofore

the time necessary to advertise Tor

ready and the commission does not
think that the delay will be- longer
than two or three weeks.
