The Bridgeport Gun Club came over on the Fourth to shoot a match with the Fountain Gun Club at the latter’s grounds at Pine Island. The day was anything but favorable for fine shooting, but not- withstanding that fact some excellent scores were made. The Bridgeport club was defeated by a score of 48 to 38, out of a possible 60. We should like to see a match arranged between the Elmgrove Gun Club and the Fountains.

Many of our citizens visited 'Roton Point, Dorlon's, and Bell’s Island, . and nearly 'every island in the harbor had its quota of people in search of a days recreation and enjoyment. Dr. Orton, and F. H. gNash accompanied by about twenty of their relatives crossed the sound in a sloop from Five Mile River, and of course, in common With other pleasure seekers who ventured far from home, got pretty thoroughly drenched before their return. A large :pa’rty went to Nauvoo, anda still largcroue' to. “Seaside.” Roton Point was crowded all day and in spite of the disagreeable weather of the after. noon all seemed to be havinga good time. The display of fireworks about town in the evening Was necessarily meagre. However, as it takes more than an ordinary rain-storm to entirely quench Anierican enthusiasm, many persons made a good showing inthat respect. Druggist Hoyt’s amé son is the proud possessor of a goat. Last Sunday morn- ing about 3 o’clock, Mort. rushed down stairs, attired as gentlemen usually are at that hour, in answer to a vigorous ringing of his door bell. He was informed by the policeman, who had. disturbed his . calm repose,.that there was the d—euce to pay in the store. Of course Mort. grew ex- cited, not knowing what might be happen- ing to his stock in trade, and he at once began an investigation. On entering the store he was somewhat surprised to dis- cover his goatship surveying himself in the looking glasss and in the act of de- vouring a bundle of that, very, nutritious and easily digestedi'delicacy called Chamois skin. The goat was evidently relishing his meal as he paidiiio heed to the rather forcible invitation_to_“Gct out of here!” After some perélinpiou on the part of Mom, the policeman and several others, who had wandered in to see the fun, the goat came to the conclusion that his pres- ence in that particular place was not. desired, so he gave one lingering, con- temptuous glance at the disturbers of his peace, and bounded through the back window. Then it was learned that there had disappeared down the goat’s throat, three boxes of herbs, one halo of sponges, sundry porous plasters, some toilet soap, and various knic—knacs, such as hair brushes, cologne bottles, etc., etc. The Chamois skin was evidently intended as dessert.

Little Tom Tucker looked natty in the seaman's uniform and attract- ed considerable attention. Mrs. George R. Byington as Josephine received con- siderable applause and was fairly deluged with flowers. Her part was well sung and her costumes becoming. Mrs. J. J. Berry as "Buttercup" was excellent as was also Mrs. Frisby as “Hebe.” The chorus showed careful training and were very effective. The scenery was very well arranged and was greatly admired. The dramatic director was William H. Earle and his usual ability was displayed in the “make ups” of the performers which were very good. Mr. S. S. Hatch was rnusicai director and Miss A.

Owing to the bad weather on Friday and Saturday much hay and grain was darn- agcd, and some of , our townsmen were seen improving the fine opportunity of- fered by the clear day Sunday to prevent further damage to their crops. 'lhc rain on the afternoon and evening of the Fourth prevented many from at— tending the festival held by the Methodist Society, in the church, at Lion’s Hill. They had spent about $170 for the tent, re- freshments, etc., and it is reported that only about $30 was taken in. M -~~*-n+>~~m ---- BROAD RIVER. Miss Hattie Knapp is visiting her sister, Mrs. S. A.
