...Glen B. Watts of Lynbrook, L. I. has often broken 25 skeet targets in a row but he never enjoyed doing it so much as last week, when he was firing in the last round of the Great Eastern Individual Championship at Lordship, Conn. It was a dark, blustering day. Frank Trager of Roseland, N. J. and Ollie Mitchell of Waltham, Mass, had contrived to run up creditable strings of 96 out of 100.

Meanwhile the handsome, velvet-horned seven-point buck deer marooned on a ledge in Watkins Glen, N. Y. State Park, about 275 miles from Lake Placid, continued to stump his would-be rescuers (TIME, Sept. 4).
