OId-Time Thanksgiving Shoots-Offi- cers of M. E. Young Mems Club Notes of the Holiday.


 One of the diversions which will be lacking today among the Thanksgiving sports of twenty years ago is the chicken shoot. Previous to that time, on the lot now known as Meadow Brook, every Thanksgiving day him. rods from near and far gathered at 16 o'clock in the morning for the an- nual test of marksmanship.
 Ten rods were first measured, and the target, a three inch paper disc, was placed in position, while near at hand, confined in crates and boxes, were the noble chanticleers, waiting to change ownership and be turned over to him who should stick three or more shots into the three inch ring, the shots to be fired offhand, at ten rods.
 In those days the old army musket played a conspicuous part, and if a contestant appeared whose old queens s arm had too long a barrel he was re- uuired to stand a corresponding num- Der of feet back of the line, lest the length of barrel should render him some extra advantage.
 Many of the older hunters in the borough and vicinity recall these in teresting events with pleasure, for there could be seen at each years shoot some skilful exhibition of the sportsman's art. Once, when the shoot
 
 poultry owners. they were constrained to post this notice:
 ''NO SHOT USED FINER THAN G."
 Certain guns were barred out uncon- ditionally on account of alleged extra ordinary powers of shooting which they were supposed to possess. One well known Parker gun, then the property of William C. Bliven, who was prob ably one of the best shots this section ever saw, is still owned in town. This gun each year the owners were not all lowed to use for the above reasons.

A Victorian Anthology.

One discovers already in her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who knew
her personally in her later years all
the more because they seemed at
first sight to be hardly compatible
qualities. One was a strong personal

position. She was not naughty, much
less arrogant. But she was pene.
trated through and through with a
sense OF what it meant to be head OF
the United Kingdom and the British
Empire. Yet although this feeling
was added to her own high spirit
she would have been deemed a high
spirited woman even in private sta
tion-it did not in her bear the fruit
of vanity. She was not vain. She
knew her own intellectual limitations
and never tried to make a figure in

CONCRETE EATliHOUSES.
Boston May Build Ther-Hoodlums
Garry Of Wooden Structures.

Boston hoodlums have compelled
the authorities there to consider the
plan Of building the public seashore
lighthouses of concrete.
According to the Cement Age it
was found that it would be a waste of
money to put the ordinary wooden
houses in condition before the season
brought the full quota of guards TO
the grounds to protect them. Dewey
Beach and Wood Island Park suffered
severely during the winter.
All the woodwork that the hood
lum element possibly could get loose
was torn away, doors were battered
in and practically every inch of lead
pipe left on the premises was stolen.
Most of the plumbing was taken
down by the bath department at the
end of the last season to save it
from a similar fate
The continual destruction OF city
property has reached the point thas
concrete construction has been rec
commended for future buildings. The
new houses would have heavy iro1
grating set up in front OF the doors
and windows to protect them during
the months when the Buildings are
not used. 1t is figured that concrete
would not cost much more than wocd.
and 1t might save the annual exp onse
Of thousands of dollars for merely
replacing what is being destroyed
in the cold season.
