24 i THE WORLD; SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 1894. Hundreds of Small Lots This Week. Hundreds of Large Lots This Week. Hundreds of New Lots This Week. A Stock so vast anc varic cannot be turned into cash in a single day or week; nor can it be done without most extraordinary values.

Our hundreds of thousands of bargain sparks have electrified the country, From the first moment of the sale we have done a great and overshadowing business. The first week had a crowd, the second week we had a jam, and since then customers have been coming in such overwhelming numbers that hundreds of extra salespeople have found employment. In the SJikS, in tne dress goods, in the linens, the hosiery, the gloves, the wrappers, the shoes, the clothing, it is hard to be sure where the throngs are thickest. One thing plain: The greatest good cheer preVails everywhere. The key of it all is the extra big'money's worth of desirable goods- Whether money is tight with you or notf it is pleasant to have a dollar buy about as much as two would in the ordinar course trade.

Bllt look down price list. See the window display. Visit the sale. Examine the goods. Remember that no advertisement can tell you the half of what will be here ready for your eyes on Monday morning.

SEWAED WEBB'S LENTEN GUESTS Dinners and Luncheons of the Fasb and Coning Spayer's Domino Country Olub Phy.

The engagement of Miss Edith Kip, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Lawrence Kip, and Mr. Richard McCreery, announced in Thursday's World, was the one social incident of interest of the week. The wedding on Wednesday, April 18.

will no doubt be the biggest of all the spring nuptial events, and crowd Grace Church more than it has been since the Craven-Martin event last year. Mr. Lawrence McCreery, the bride groom's brother, will be his best man Mr. Lorlllard Kip, who of all the jeu nesse doree of the town is now regarded as the best-dressed man, will be thi chief usher, Mr. Worthington White house being the only other yet chpsen Miss Anne Cameron, one of Sir Roderick Cameron's four daughters, will be a bridesmaid.

She and Miss Edith Kip were the two American girls who- attended Miss Flora Davis on her marriage with Lord Terence Blackwood Miss Gerry, daug-hter of Commodore and Mrs. Elbrldge T. Gerry; Miss Margaret Morgan, daughter of Mrs. Willlam D. Morgan, and Miss Evelyn Burden, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. I. Townsend Burden, will be the other bridesmaids. Two intimate friends of the prospective cousin. Miss Barbey, and Miss SusieWhittier, would have been included in the list, but they are now abroad.

Carte blanche has been given to Thorley as to the trimming of the church and house. Although Mr. Richard McCreery is credited as being a Callfornian, he has topcked very seldom o'n the Golden Gate ttanee. having been born in a much-of his time His father. Mr.

Yanderbilt, who was a somewhat recent date located ai Xice, soems to bs I the general impression.

Some three years ago Mr. Vanderbiit broke the bank at that place and the present despair over such another unequal contest is quite natural. The engagement of Miss Caroline Duncan Miller and Mr. Wallace Percy Knapp has just been anounced. The fiancee Is a daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Addison Miller, the latter having been f- ss Ely. Mr. Knapp is a son of Mrs. William K.

It is quite large as well, being fifty feat square. It is in the Louis Seize style, with high ceiling and an exquisite stained-glass dome.

Beautiful, big Iron gates, swung open, mark the entrance, and an ornamentil feature of the Interior is the music bal- coiy, In which an orchestra of twenty- nve men can be ensconced with comfort. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop and their daughters have been passing the Lenten period lii Florida, and were at last accounts at the Ponce de Leon Hotel, SL Augustine, their intention being to return by Easter Sunday.

V.inaBt feT'VT-. 7-Easi FJttv-j Amateur Gunners Who Strive for Fame and Money Killing Birds as They Fly from Traps. On the way to a pigeon shoot at one of the fashionable clubs a group of gunning swells resemble up todate commercial travellers striking a country town. Their clothes are of the latest fashion, the shirts are varl-colored, the collars nigh and white, and, what chielly suggests the comparison, each man carries an odd- shaped russet-leather grip. These are the gun cases, in which arc borne the weapons witli which the slaughter is to be done.

The guns are unjointed and packed neatly In sections within the grips. Paper shells, ready loaded, with powder and shot, help to fill the bags. At the traps all resemblance tonatty "drummers vanish. In orthodox shooting rig the stvells fix up like tramps. Walter Jones, who does the ragged wandererin'' looks like a Berry Wall in comparison.

At the Philadelphia-New York match at the Westminster Kennel Club, Babylon, on Friday, the swells outdid themselves in the matter of raiment. George Work wore a checked Norfolk. jacket, "a thing of shreds and patches," lopped oil' with a "Wild West" white sombrero. The Philadel- phlans had on a job-lot of coats and trousers, venerable with age and tatters, ond soft hats of odd shapes and Fred Hoey and Edgar Murphy wore blue knitted jerseys and slouch CapL Money, over black trousers, wore a skin-tight white buckskin shirt aud a toft lint of disreputable form. Tills shirt was the great success in garniture.

Fred Hoey said It was absolutely indecent, but this was ill-concealed envy. He was angry because Capt. Money was such a scarecrow. English guns, made by Parker, Purdy, Scott, Churchill or Greener, aroused by all the swell shots. This is not because they are 'English, y'kuow." Big prices are paid for them in London and bigger duties willingly paid on them here simplyljecause they uro better it is claimed, than the guns made in this The gun barrels used by the makers here and in England are bought and bored in Belgium, but the Englishmen balance and finish the guns with unequalled skill.

TheEuns range from seven to eight pounds In weight. The odd ounces are what count. The swells are measured for their guns, after a fashion, as carefully as for boots or clothing. Every man, too, uses a different quantltv'of powder and shot in liis shells. Before using a for matches the amateurs test It by lundreds trial shots with different loads and under different conditions.

Before the traps, which are ranged in a semicircle. before him, the gunner is in ignorance as to which Way the. bird ia to rise. Usually five traps with a bird In each form the The traps are worked by a crank ever, operated by the scorer, who la behind gunner. Like the marksman, when he lulls the lever, he does not know which trap will The gunner, standing In position to shoot, gives the word to pull, and tho scorer on the lever.
