...only an even dozen of contestants faced the traps for the first competition in the new match. No better weather could have been desired than that with which the shooters were favored, yet for some reason, the scores were hardly up to the usual high average, though the double-bird shooting was fair. The winning scores of each day are made up from the aggregate of 10 singles and five pairs of doubles, and, for purposes of comparison, these scores are given separately below...
...serial stories. Dr. Holmes turns over some new leaves in his delightful "New Portfolio," and the articles on "Madame Mohl and her Salon" are completed. The short papers are John S.
