clever write up of Vernon, B. G. The
write-up was from the pen of Rufus
Woods, manager of the World, who
being very handy with the camera took
number of views of the concentra-
tion camp at Vernon. 1t was the good
fortune of the Gazette editor to be a
guest of Mr. Woods, and general ac-
count of that trip was held off until
cuts made from the pictures could be
used. That account, such as it is, is
published this week and the Gazette ex-
tends thanks to the World for the mill
tary views and the Hotel Royal picture
that is used in connection with that
lscreed.

ASSESSORS REPORT.

Dear Slr-
The enclosed data was taken from the
annual report as this office is required to
supply to the state. The information no
doubt will be of interest to many of your
work horses than during 1915, or only
313 less horses of all classes than during
the previous year; also 432 milch cows
were listed this year more than last, ana
1919 more head of cattle. all classes, than
during 1915. The former no doubt accounts
for heavy losses during the past winter
as well as the large number of horses that
has been shipped out of the county for
war purposes. The latter fact would in
dicate that milch cows and cattle in gen.
eral are appreciably on the increase.
Yours truly,
C. II. KNOSHER, Assessor

Among other interesting .eatures
coming to the Lyric soon will be that
famous old production of "Tennessees
Pardner." One thing that makes this
particular production so interesting
is the fact that considerable portion
of this production was taken in the
old mission of San Fernando, Cal.
Permission was obtained after much
effort to use the old mission as .le
scenes of the production. This quaint
old place, a relic of former days, was
built by the Jesuits about 1900 and

at HolmeSburg
CRACKS LAST OF Is
FROM 20 YARD MARK

Giving the greatest exhibition of
target shooting ever witnessed on the
grounds OF the keystone Shooting
League. A. b. Richardson, of Dover
and the holder of many Delaware
titles. ran 200 straight targets without
miss In the annual registered tour
nament OF the Independent Gun Club
yesterday at Holmesburg Junction.
Richardson's exhibition exceeded any
thing heretofore seen in Philadelphia
for one day shooting, and he was
warmly congratulated when he fin
ished his string of 200 breaks He
broke 175 of the targets from a 10
yard rise. then entering the 20-yard
handicap test at 25 skimmers, he also
pulverized this quarter century Of
clays from the 20-yard mark, and thus
rounded out wonderful day of target
shooting achievement The prior
record for the Keystone grounds had
been held by Charles H. Newcomh.
who two years ago broke 1872 straight
| Richardson's phenomenal shooting
naturally featured the shoot, which
was one Of the largest the club ever
/ held. Seventy-two gunncrs, many
/ from other states fred at the clays,
and several good scores were hung up,
although nobody equaled the per-
! formance Of the Dover crack. New
comb and william II. Wolstencroft,
both local shots, finished in tie for
the runner-up honors to Richardson
/ with 1914 down on their 200 birds,
while S. NJ. Crothers, Highland en-
try. landed 1SS out Of his 200, and
Fred Plum. Of Atlantic City, finished
with 1877
The card originally called for
eleven events at total OF l75 targets,
and was shot from a i6-yard rise. The
| % extra targets were only introduced
as an added attraction to those gun
ners who wished to fire from 20-yarc
rise. This made a card of 200 for the
day for those who shot through and
enabled Richardson to complete his
great record,
On the l7b program Richardson
naturally led with l75 down, with
Newcomh second with 40. and Plum
and Wolstencroft tied for third place
with 16a. S. NJ. Crothers and Beuch
ann were deadlocked with 1866 each
and Fred Tomlin champion of New
