Description : Duncan McArthur does well in the July 4th shooting competition.
Transcription : The Fourth. The fourth, or fifth, was celebrated in Harrisville with a shooting match by the Glen Alger Rifle Association, a horse race and dancing. The shooting match came off first in the afternoon between two parties each of seven--the losing party paying for a supper for all contestants. A badge in the shape of a beautiful watch charm was given to the person making the best score from ten shots. Dr. Jno. Lyman carried off this prize. [Duncan McArthur shot 38 of 50 possible points to tie for fourth; the winner had 41 points.]
