...last week, newshawks discerned purple episcopal robes flashing dimly. Within the shadowy Cathedral which was locked, barred and bolted, little knots of laymen and churchmen gathered whispering. No speeches were permitted in the election they were holding to fill the primacy of the Church of England in Canada. This lordship of 1,232,000 Anglicans had been vacant since the death last summer of Most Rev. Clarendon Lamb Worrell, Archbishop of Nova Scotia. Once held according to seniority, the Primacy became elective under a system by which Canada's 27 bishops and archbishops propose names to an electoral college...

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.

Neusch-wander of Los Angeles and George Debes of Houston-shooting under better weather conditions, had bettered Watts' 98 by one target each and Thomas Mairs...
...after TIME. Many U. S. sporting magazines carry a skeet department. Enthusiasts estimate 18,000,000 shotgun shells burned at skeet last year. Twenty-six state and some 20 intersectional shoots culminate yearly in the Great Eastern States and National Telegraphic Championships staged by the Remington Gun Club at Lordship, Conn. This year for the first time skeeters in the Great Eastern States shoot competed for a 28½-in. silver cup donated by Publisher Eltinge F. Warner of Field & Stream...
