Shooter King Still King of the Shooters.

John King is doing great shooting this season, and unless his nerve fails him before next Tuesday he will bring back to Rensselear the gold badge of the Iroquois Gun Club, which now is a captive in strange lands.At Hobart the other day he had 28 good shooters to contend with* including 11 crackerjacks from Chicago, but at the end of the day’s sport he was figured up to have the best average in tlie whole field. He made 152 hits out of 165 shots, which was 5 or 6 better than the next best average
