cent, clip, the secoud annual tourna
ment oC the Brunswick Gun club came
to a close yesterday afternoon, and.
as was expected, it proved to be the
best club shoot held in the south ths
year. This is not the claim of tin
local members, but of every visito. -

ed every shoot held during the s.a
son.
The race among three of the air/i

record he has ever made. J. R. Liv
ingston, of Springfield. Ala., was sec

Alabama shooters carried away all of
the honors. The highest score mud *
yesterday was that ol Mr. Warren,
ending the day with 191 out of 200
In the professional race John R.
Taylor, of the Winchester Repeating

the shooters thanked the local cl’ih
and paid them a high compliment on
the manner in which the shoot was
pulled off.
Out of a total of about thirty-five
visitors, there was not a single kick
registered, which is unusual at a gun
club tournament. None of them could
say too much about the Brunswick
club, its excellent grounds ami their
cordial treatment.
W. C. Lemen, who cashiered the
shoot, did so in a most satisfactory
manner. It is a difficult task to cash
ier a tournament, but Mr. Lemea
pleased every shooter and was highly
complimented.
In this connection it may be stated
* that the local club can, If the proper
effort is made, secure the Sou'hern
handicap next year. This is the one
shoot of the year in the south, partici
pated in by upwards of 200 shooters.
Every expert in the city yesterday
promised to support the local club if
it makes an effort to land the big
shoot.

hand" gang, whose leaders were cap
tured yesterday In Columbus, Marion,

Wall Sixteen Feet High to Be Erected
Around It,
Salonica, June 9. —With a view to
the better safeguarding of the ex
sultan, Abdul Hamid, in the Villa
Alltini here, the authorities propose
to erect a wall sixteen feet high
around tin* house. There is, however,
a growing feeling against, bis pres
ence in Salonica, and it would not be
surprising to hear that he is to be re
moved.
An island in the Aegean sea would
be considered a more fitting residence
for the fallen monarch, for the Sa
lonicans strongly object to the insti
tution of an elaborate system of es
pionage which would be necessary to
defeat any plot for his escape.
Up to the present the ex-sultan has
been kept in his rooms, and is denied
writing paper and all means of com
munications. No one is allowed to
approach with! a fifty yards of the
house.

ABLE RESOLUTIONS.
Brunswick Delegation to Darken Re
port a Most Satisfactory Confer

esting Meeting Held.
The Brunswick delegation of good
roads boosters, consisting of the mem
bers ot the Glynn county commis
sioners and a large number if bujt
ness men, returned to the c'v last
night, elated with the result of their
visit tu iuc Mclntosn city.
The local crowd was treated most
hospitably by the people of Darien
and weie entertained in .that fashion
so lamuua in Georgia coast cties. Au
interesting meeting of the Mclntosh
county commissioners and the Glvnn
commission was held at thi court
house shortly after the arrival of the
Brunswick party. Chairman McFar
land, of the Mclntosh hoard, presided
over the deliberations. Short ad
dresses were made by Messis. E. H.
Mason and F. D. Aiken, of this city,
and Robert Strain, of Darien, all of

the splendid movement for the new
road. In fact there was a spirit of
genuine enthusiasm in the session on

All of the speakers devoted them
selves to the task of pointing out the
real value of the road, ft was shown
that Georgia is uow the scene of a
great movement for good roads and
the point was made that Brunswick
and Darien were in good luck to have
the opportunity of getting good roads
and better railroad facilities at one
and the same time.
After considerable consideration,
the joint commission, by a unanimous
vote, passed resolutions favoring the
plan and calling lor elections in the
two counties to determine whether or
not bonds should be issued for the
specific purpose.
It seems to he the general opinion
of the representative people in Darien
that the proposition will he ratified
at the polls. Of course, as is the
case here in Brunswick, there is
sonic misunderstanding as to the pur
pose of the proposed bond issue and
the people of both counties will have
to he educated on the subject.
The Brunswick delegation returned
on the Hessie last night and reported
a most pleasant and satisfactory tfip,

TWICE AND IS AWARDED THE
j FIGHT BY REFEREE.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 9.—After
Stanley Kdtchell had knocked down
Jack O'Brien twice in the second
round and once in the first minute

ble whatsoever of breaking through
