LOCAL MATTERS.

THE shooting match announced for yesterday afternoon took place as expected, and that particular one was followed by several others. Jack Schaller shot seven pigeons out of twelve on a wager with Ben. Trenkamp that he would wing at least ten. A glass ball match between Dick McGraw and George Arlinghaus resulted in victory for the former by the close and immortal score of eight to seven.
