The candidates for the office Of

Until recently we have scarcely

Mr.. Walter Winans. the weil-known
millionaire sportsman, who is making
ARRANGEMENTS for the deadliest shots
in the world to exhibit their skill in
London, is himself perhaps the most
phenomenal marksman living today.
indeed, his feats with revolver and
rife are so amazing that they border
on the miraculous.
Some years ago at a fete at Bag,
shot he gave some very astonishing
exhibitions Of his Workmanship Tor
the entertainment Of the visitors.
Among other equally wonderful feats
we're the following: He sent bullet
after bullet clean through the center
OF the ace OF hearts held at q dis,
lance OF q dozen yards, never once
missing his tiny buils-eye during the
whole afternoon. He repeatedly sna''
tered a glass ball placed on the glass
Of his watch as IL lay Iace upwaTd
on a table: and out Of six visiting
cards placed edgewise before him he
cuf ave in halves with six consecutive
shots.
Blu. perhaps his most remarkable
performance was that at the brighton
Rifle Gallery q few years ago. when
firing ~ con secutive shots with re
vojyer at q target rs yards distant
he p,aced q bullet on q bulrs-eye only
three inches in diameter. scarcely as
large as the palm Of . mans hand

low with as many consecutive bull
lets.
Mr.. Walter Winans, who is as mod
eat as he Is clever, always declares
that the late Chevalier Ira Paine was
a much deadlier shot than himself
and he tells how. on one occasion, the
chevalier killed q bluebottle fly which
had settled on the white part OF q
target 20 yards away. This perform
ance ranks as quite the most wonder
| ful in the annals Of shooting and nc
wonder.
But there have teen many famous
shots before Paine and Winans hand
/ led q revolver, and one Of the great
eat of them all was Captain Horatic
Ross, who was in his prime about ~
wears Of age. and Of whom some re
markable stories are told
On one occasion the Captain wager
ed 500 with Mr.. George Fojambe
that, with a pistol firing single ball
he would kill ten brace OF swallows
on the wing in one day. The fea'
seemed humanity impossible. but Cap
tain Ross actually polished Oh his y
