It was ihe occasion of the dou e celebration?the annual meet; ' the Monterey Gun Club and the ornament. To witness these ?outs fifteen hundred people as-j nibled and appeared to very early enjov the entire proceeding. A tiling that was quite notica e in so large a promiscuous gath* ing, and was frequently favora y commented upon, was the gen el, quiet and orderly manner in Inch the crowd conducted itself, seemed that the opinion had en arrived at that whiskey was) tirelv inessential to a good time, I id a good time was had with the inks Cdt out, excepting the leui iade which was not strong enough hurt any body. It is due the manangement, ol ese two events, and especially ose on whom the burden fell, at we give them a word of praise r the' ability displayed in engi ering so successfully the under? lying. A few who gave much ne and energy received "nan" j ne ribbon honor in return.

AT THE TRAPS Herein lies a tale, a surprising ie. About the last to enter the uitest for single shooting was lit e Dick Jone-;, youngest son of on. Charles P .Jones.

And had it not been for this knight from Bath even Virginia would net have been in it, a* a Franklin knight, MrRoy Campbell, would have captured first prize and carried it., with the crown no doubt, to the hills of West Virginia. The accident to Emmett McClin? tic, the knight of Virginia, from Hath county, was the only thing that happened during the daj that in the least marred its round of pleasure. This, however, univ served to call forth that very nec? essary qualification?"sand"?thal knights of the tournament and all who strive for a prize, should possess. Knight of Virginia and knight ol' West Virginia. Hov Campbell tied 0:1 seven rings foi the first honor, and it was in tin ri.ling of the tie that McCliutic'i horse became unruly and fell will him, fracturing the small bone oi his rider's leg.
