Efforts to organize a rife club have
stimulated interest in range shooting
among amateur marksmen of the cityt
and now that most of the snow has dis
appeared from the favorite target
rounds, it is possible to hang up the
bullseyes without any OF the appreciable
discomforts incident to winter target
shooting Yesterday a number of marks
men had a workout at the Brook street
range and again to-day there was a noise
of rifle and revolver shooting on the
esplanade Just to the east of the city
dump Tomorrow night the members OF /
the rifle club will meet at painters hall
Mt o'clock to consider plans for procur- /
ing permanent range.
With the return Of warmer weather I
the number of transient laborers outside I
the trades is increasing hereabouts and /
Barre appears to get getting its share OF /
rolling stones. Police headquarters is
visited nightly by INDECENT persons ask
ing for q free berth and as often as &C
will permit. the requests
are granted. The suspension of work in
the lumber woods. where transient labor
is largely employed in the months when
an abundance of snow makes logging
operations possible, is held responsible
for the influx of many men in the city. Il
For the most part the visitors are harm
less and make shift to shake their heels
for other fields when they have tarried
in one port for few days. A few cases
1f panhandling have been reported to the
police. but begging seems to be the ex
,eption and not the rule among the
Knights of the road,
Lecomte and Flesher's musical festi-
'al September Morn appeared before
good sized audience in the opera house
asst evening. An deliberately staged pro-
uction with a great variety of costumes, I
good looking chorus, and several good =
ancers, the piece seemed TO find general
avor with the audience. Carl George IT
5 the funny man had no trouble in keep II
ng the house in a roar whenever he APP u
cared on the scene His work and the II
ancing of Ruth wilkins were easily the II
est parts of the play. The dancing of III
Iiss wilkins and NJ Leonard in the III
econd act merited the hearty applause III
ranted il by the spectators. Among the III
ong hits, where Is the Pleasure in III
Vine and Song-if the Woman Is Not III
here" seemed to be the most popular, vi
iough September Morn and "When a III
little Boy Loves Little Girl" were also
ltchy. The chorus of male voices sing HI
Y, 80 I've Been Told" was another HI
leasing feature OF the production. In
of the merits Of the play, MI
he work OF the orchestra should not be III
sregsrded, especially that of Dan Belch |
on the trap drums, for it was he who lIl
,lped the comedian in much Of his slap I'LL
lex humor. Hi
