in ten shots, $50 for fifteen shots and
1S9 for twenty shots.
At the Monmouth club last night
Poindexter declared himself as shoot
ing for record under the rules of the
association. The bullseye for this work
is 272 inches in diameter and is dl-
vided into three sections.
The inner circle of about two-thirds
of an inch in diameter carries the
maximum count of 10. With his first
target, shooting ten times, PoindeXter
made perfect score, which will con-
stitute a worlds record if it is allowed
by the United States Revolver asso-

Poindexter then shot a second target
for the 20-shot worlds record. His
score was 10, 10, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 8, 8, "a

RAIN OF CIGARETTES
CONVICTS IS STOPPED
Two Men Throw Luxury from a
Bridge Over Yard

NEW YORK, May Pitt used to rain
cigarettes on Blackwell's Island, where
hundreds of city prisoners work out
their salvation. but 1t doesn't rain such
luxuries any more. After diligent
search and hard work Warden Hayes
has stopped the downpour.
Hayes had noticed for some time that
his prisoners had all the cigarettes they
wanted-which was against the rules.
Visitors were searched, but nothing was
found on them, and the warden almost
gave up the mystery.
The other day he happened to notice
the prisoners working beneath the
Queensborough bridge that runs high
across the island, and it occurred to
him that the cigarettes might be
thrown from it. Patrolman Clarke was
directed to put on his Sunday suit and
loiter on the bridge every day. This
morning he saw two young men throw
a package to a crowd of prisoners be-
low.
In the Yorl1ville court they gave their
names as Samuel Vagakmiski and Vic
tor Sargenska of 1858 East Seventy-first
street. They were charged with disor-
derly conduct, because no one could
think of any other offense they had
committed. They explained that they
took pity on the prisoners below, and
for this reason had thrown them cigar
cites. Promising never to do 1t again,
they were released.
