...have handed in their names for membership in the Shooting Club, and those who intend to do so, are asked to attend a practice shoot at Walnut Hill this afternoon. Those wishing to go will hand in their names at Weld 13 between 10 o'clock and noon, that tickets may be procured at reduced rates. The practice will be at glass balls, from Bogardus traps, the balls costing two cents a piece. Those wishing to go will assemble at the above room at 1.45, to take the 2.30 train at the Lowell depot. Fare 25 cents, round trip...

...oars are allowed to sliver out at the finish, thus shortening the stroke at a vital point; No. 8 especially, does not pull his oar through, which is a bad fault in a stroke oar. No. 7 swings in and six meets; four and five have no snap and shoot slowly; five clips and four settles at the finish. No. 3 drops his head at the full reach, goes back too far, clips and does not get enough reach. No. 2's time is poor and he does not get life enough. Bow's time is poor and he clips...
