properly inscribed with the name of

interesting as well as handsome affair.

have Correspondent club. which holds
annual meetings. and of which Leslie

now held in the governors mansion at

joke the correspondents decided to
have press match."As they were
considerably out of practice they shot
on a i00o-yard target at 600 yards.
Even at that a majority of the bullets
were never located. John Taylor
