The shooting will be done from three sets of traps known as the clover leaf." Every shooter will be known by his number on the shooting list.

He will be provided with a tag giving his number and handicap distance which wilfc be affixed to his back. By this means every one can see at a glance what number is at the score. The referee by this method of numbering each shooter can tell at a glance' whether the shooter is at his right mark. No guns larger than 12-gauge- are allowed and the weight of the guns is limited to eight pounds. In order to expedite the shooting, a contestant missing three birds in any event, except the Grand American Handicap, must drop out, with the privilege of reentering in ease he has a chance to win any portion of the purse.

In the Grand American Handicap it will be five misses out with the same privilege. All birds wilB be retrieved by dogs, the dogs being released the moment the bird reaches the ground. The party of "Westerners is made up of men well known for their ability at the traps, men who are at home on any grounds and have the knack of getting there in a pinch; still there is no telling. Luck is a great factor in shooting, as well as In everything else, and the winner of this year's handicap may not be from the West, but to one who is an intelligent photographer of facts on paper the winner Is among the group whose portraits appear In this issue. divided In accordance with the number entries received.

"With a view to giving every contestant a fair field and no favor, the handicapping is Intrusted to W. K. Park of Philadelphia. Jacob Pentz of New Tork. and Elmer E.

Shaner of Pittsburg, who have been held to be beat posted on the shooting merits of the individuals entered for this great event. These gentlemen will onee more undertake the thankless task of handicapping all contestants from twenty-five to thirty-three yards, and in order to place all contestants on an equal footing handicaps were not announced until last night. The Grand American Handicap was Inaugurated on April 5, 1898, with an entry list of just twenty-one. The second annual was held at Dexter Park, L. the date being April 5, 1894, with an entry list of fifty-four.

The third annual was decided at Willard Park, Paterson, N. on April 4. 1895. Once more there was a big increase in the number of entries, fifty-eight competing. The fourth annual was decided at Elkwood Park.

N. on March 5, 1896. From an entry list of sixty-one in 1895 it jumped to 109 in 1896 up to that time the greatest number ever contesting in a trap shooting event. Of the entire number not a man killed straight, but there were eight ties on twenty-four for the first eight moneys. In 1897 there was but one straight score out of 135 shooters.

This score was made by the Hon. Thomas Marshall of Kelthsburg, winning first prize of $300. Nine men tied on twenty-four and divided the next nine moneys, each man getting $188.45. There were eleven ties on twenty-three and they divided the next eleven moneys, each man drawing down. $99.50.

Thirteen men tied on twenty-two and got $19.55 each. Should there be 200 entries, as is yery generally expected (that is, 200 at $25 eJch), the surplus this year will be divided into ten equal parts and added to the different amounts due the first ten high guns. The first day's program is as follows: Elkwood Park Introductory, birds, $5 entrance, birds extra, 80 yards rise, three moneys, 60, SO, and 20 per cent, high guns, not clasa shooting; ties will not be shot off but must divide. Nitro Powder Handicap, 15 birds, $10 entrance, birds extra, handicaps 25 to S3 yards. The handicaps in this event will be the same as those allotted in the grand American Handicap.

Thomas Marshall.

Fred Gilbert, and Eddie Bingham will give exhibitions along the route of their ability by shooting objects thrown into the air, while the train is running at seventy miles an hour, and at Niagara it is expected the two Charlies, Budd and Grimm, will shoot the falls, which can only be fully appreciated by those who have attempted the feat. It is anticipated that in such a galaxy of hooters will be found the winner of the Grand American Handicap of 1808.

All the latest nsirrrns anH cwotloc f.V.r!r mm f. ways a worker, anat is one renown she is a bachelor girl. She is nearly always living in Chicago for the express purpose of working, and, having, therefore, no family home, she makes one for herself. She chooses a down-town location, as a rule, because it is more convenient for her work, and she frequently makes her office, studio, or workshop serve as a living room as well in order to save expense.

As to her work well, it is hard to find a profession In which the bachelor girl is not represented. In the Dearborn street building mentioned are two newspaper women, a regular and a special," two or three business-women, the eame number of school teachers, a woman physician, and a reformer who hopes some time to move the world by her energy and enthusiasm. High up in the top of a tall. State street building lives a woman librarian with her several assistants. Near Van Buren street the woman artists congregate.

The Studio Building is, of course, the home of numerous feminine artists and artistic artisans, and the Michigan avenue edifice shelters business-women, musical and dramatic students, and budding stenographers by the score. The same particulars are rue of almost every building in which the girl bachelors live and make merry- The making merry part of their existence would seem, to a careless observer, to constitute the largest part of life for the bachelor girls of Chicago, but this view would be a mistaken one. The bachelor women all work work extremely hard as a rule but they strenuously insist upon the virtue of work while you work and play while you play." And when the 'time of relaxation comes they play with a vim and energy which keeps them young and fresh looking in spite of the terrors of midnight mice and burglars which must be faced alone and unaided.

the world of bachelor freedom ana unconventlonallty, have for many months been living precisely in the way which their New York sisters are to do next autumn. Over two years ago they quietly-preempted the old Athenaeum Building, a tall structure in the heart of the city, and here they have been living, nearly twenty of them, ever since. The Alpha club, now the Alpha-Sorosls. unconsciously mothered the idea, but the bachelor girls who found the necessary club restrictions irksome soon betook themselves to the floors below. For several months the management -of this buikling has been seriously considering the advisability of adding two additional floors to the structure, these floors to be specially consecrated to the use of the bachelor women of Chicago, The Tree Studio Building on North State street i another edifice which shelters a number of bachelor girls who live in their studios.

The new Athenaeum Building, on" Van Buren street, has several bachelor jlrl homes beneath its roof, and on Michigan avenue, pot far from Madison street, is another tall old building which, has gradually passed into the hands of bachelor women. A little farther from the center of the city, on all sides of the town, may be found buildings in which bachelor girls room and make homes for themselves precisely as do those of their brothers who prefer a den," be it composed of but a single room, to all the boarding-bouse or hotel splendor in Oucaso.

And yet, despite the fact that there are a few residents of Chicago who do not number at least one bachelor girl among their friends and acquaintances, many persons would find it difficult, if not impossible to return a definite answer to the question.
