There promises to be an inter- | esting battle for the medal in this class Although Fanning fell behind one bird in vesterday’s match, he would perhaps | stand as favorite against the field if he could remain throughout the contest, but, | as big Eastern tournaments will demand his attention, he will be unable to finish. In class B, A. Roos and H. E. Rose broke even, each killing 10 birds; H. B. Hosmer centered 6 and Paul Delmas 9. This ends the line of contestants for the medals, but Harvey McMurchy of acuse, N, Y., and S. A. Tucker of Meriden, Conn., as guests of the club shot out yesterday’s score. The guests, both well-known wing shots, were classed with the champions and placed with Fan- ning at thirty-one yards. Although, as stated, Nauman, Haight and Maskey each killed all their birds, and will put up a good. fight for the cham- pion class medal, there are still others to be considered. Next month Will and Harry Golcher, both “high gun” men, will shoot up their scores and get even fn the contest and then the hard shooting for the first class medal will begin. The records of some of yesterday's con- testants were doubtless lowered by the high wind, birds that were centered and killed being carried out of bounds. Tucker lost one bird that dropped dead outside the bound. White 1, Stone 1, Johnson 1 and Hosmer 3. —_—ee——— CORRIGAN TRACK ENTRIES.

SHIP AND HEALTH SHATTERED HEROIC BATTLE ON THE GALE- SWEPT SEAS. Never Recovered From the Loss of His Bark and Died Leaving His Family in Pov- erty. The end of a life’s weary vovage and an unusually sad story came when Cap- tain Theodore Thomas Watt died at his residence, 540 Chestnut street, last Satur- day. Something over two years have passed since the most dreary wreck of a craft in ballast came creeping into this harbor. All of her upper spars and most of her lower ones, for that matter, had parted from her, and a couple of jury-masts, on which hung several jury-sails, composed her rig. She was neither ship bark nor brig. and old saflors shivered at the thoughts of what had been Ner expe- rience out at sea. Her hull was stained with iron rust, and .the grass grew long amid the beds of barnacles that covered the hulk below the water line. The vessel was the little English iron bark Sharpshooter, and Captain T. T. Watt stood on her tiny quarterdeck. By his side was his wife and three little children. For weeks they had fought their way through a fearful storm on the Mexican coast. Days and nights had followed each other while the gale swept around them, beating the spars out of the bark, drifting here and_there over the tempest-lashed billows. How nobly Cap- tain Watt had struggled for his ship and family—his all on earth—the shattered hulk and awkwardly rigged jury masts and yards told well. Some Steamer had found the Sharpshooter floundering like a lame duck in the long swells off the | Mexican -shores and dragged her into | port, a pitiful spectacle of wreck, a | Broken down captain, a weary wife and | three small children gazing solemnly over the’ rafl. The luck of Captain Watt by no means came back with his miraculous rescue at | sea. Something went wrong with the in- surance on his all but wrecked bark, and the poor Sharpshooter lay at her anchor in the bay a melancholy ~picture for months. Finally he disposed of the hulk | and movea his_family ashore. The ves- | sel was repaired by her new owners, J. F. | Cunningham & Co.. at an expense obout | equal to her total value, and sent to sea | in_barkentine rig. ‘Watt never appeared to recover from | his misfortunes, and the splendid courage | that nerved him to rig jury masts and | yards_and save his vessel from the fury | of a Mexican gale seemed to leave him. | The storms that wrecked his vessel shat- tered his health, and he grew weaker un- til his life voyage ended. He was a native of Newfoundland, aged 49 years. Mrs. Watt, the heroine of the Sharpshooter, and the three little children of the wreck survive him.
