That was wlien Lieut. K. C. Wilson was
Ht work with Company C*s team of the
Guards at the <BC** yards range, where he
made a score of 24. scoring four bull’s
eyes. There were otter ranges where he
did not shoot up to ht* usual form.
The company match for the D* ooto
trophy was the event. It was not finish
ed. there being ten teams yet to complete j
their scores. Great Interest was centered
Jn :he match, not only a* to the winning
team, but a* to the other places up near
the top and generous competition was
conspicuously observable. The teams that
are yet to finish their score# cannot make
enough at the Oh* yards range, and the
skirmish to become dangerous for the
lenders In the ahooting of the first day.
and It may he positively stated, despite
the fact that the match Is yet unfinished,
that he winner Is Company A of the Sa

the eracx shots In the Guard* followed
soon after th* less expert shot* that led
off for two or three of the visiting team*

that there was something wrong. It was

At the 200 and 30) yards ranges th*

Labor lay W4S not only more generally

previous year, hut the holiday proved 10
he a very #ti>>yable one. The w<wking peo
ple ami their friend* entered into the
uplrlt of the lav with tost and at the Mtm*
time took their pleasure with moderation
The it.iy was almost entirely devo.d of
casualties, not withstanding the large
t rowds at the resorts, and the excel ent
behavior of the crowds at Tv bee and else
where was a subject of general remark
About 1.60 u people spent the day. or a
part of It. at Tybee. and as many more
took In Isle of Hope. Thunderbolt and oth
er places of lesser note. T.he crowds at the
resorts would undoubtedly hive been
larger hut for the fear that the rain,
which poured down so heavily during tha
early morning hours, would resume ope
rations again The threatening ap;earance
of ihr wantr.er caus-d the early trains for
Tybee to go down half loaded, hut this
was made up for later in the day. the 2
oVlntk train carrying a very Ivrge crowd.
Many people, accustom'd to the regular
schedule of the 3:35 train, which haw been
off. calculated u|>on this train and
so got taft.
In the city the rallrmtd and machine
shops and factories of every class shut
down for the day. giving their employaa
the whole day. The commercial people
for the most pan gave a half holiday,
though In the naval stores ami some oth
er leading lines the day was hardly ob
served. owing to the press of business
at this season and the further fact of Ms
being near the first of the month. The
office* at the City Kxchmnge and Court
House were close*!. So were the hanks,
and the Cotton and Hoard
of Trade also ceased operations for the
day. During the morning, the fact that
th;* working people woee ruit working and
lhat the retail stores were open gave a
lively appearance to HrugN:on street,
many selling this opportunity to go shop
ping. In the afternoon, however, with
most of the retail places closed. Brough
ton street looked almost as If It were
Sunday.
Tybee ws headquarters for th* labor

The Georgia Historical Society held Its
September meeting last night. There was
little business of Importance before It ex
cept questions of ways and means.
It was stated that the society Is in need
of money and that It may be compelled
to borrow In order to meet it* obligations.
It was alro stated that there are u large
number of members who are in arrears
to th** society and whose dues, if paid
promptly, would relieve the society from
any necessity of contracting a loan.
No steps wt*re taken as regards a loan,
but the treasurer was Instructed to give
the delinquent members a reminder of
their dues and of the needs of the society.

After | few attempts for a slart, the

off—with Pauline setting the pace for the
party. The gray pacer was In front nt
the quarter and was moving easy. At

very pretiy. George Palmer make a good

From this point Allercyone
had an easy time of It and won the heat
