WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1977 PAGE EIGHTEEN THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO
The gun club held a pic-nic on the
twenty fourth of May.
And that picnic was successful,
tho' it was a chilly day.
They also held a shooting match for
a lot of pretty prizes;
And as •you read these silly lines
you will meet a few surprises.
The first prize was a pair of shoes,
which were far too big they say;
They were meant for Jack McDon-
ald, but they didn't come his
way.
The second was a dollar bill - one
hundred cents you know.
Isaac Miller reached to take it; but
his score was somewhat low.
The last one was a booby prize, a
tiny ten-cent flute;
Billy Webster had to play it. Gee!
The following article appeared
many years ago in an issue of The
Sentinel.. The clipping was given to
us by Elwell Webster of Wingham.
The article was written by Jim
Cassels who was killed in the first
world war 1914-18. Mr. Cassels at
one time delivered for Miller's
Store at St. Helens.

and off the ground, he slid.
And then came Billy Webster, pale
and 0! so mute.
He shot his every shot, and then -
they handed him the flute!
Tom Inglis then came forward with
a very shaky hand.
He put a nine spot in by chance,
then fainted on the stand.
Billy Rutherford called the captain,
and he was very tall.
The bullet went •above the mark.
God knows where it may fall!
Brown Harper made a good shot:
he hit the outside ring.
He might have done some better
had he not been "on the string."
Harry Macey came. Says he:
"Here's where I get the prize."
But his score was not much larger
than Harry Macey's size.
Young Bill McCrostie came and
said "I'll put one home for sport.
But the shoes they wouldn't fit
him, for his score was somewhat
short.
Well, well! Dave Todd was also
there, good natured, full of vim.
His score was just like Dave him-
self - all there but very slim.
Jim Barker then came forward,
with a twinkle in his eye.
He made three lovely Bull's eyes.
0, he's a wise old guy!
Bob Taylor and Jim Anderson, I
think they were a tie.
They might have hit the target, but
they couldn't hit the eye.
"Do I get laces with those boots?"
I heard Frank Todd exclaim.
The bullets all went in the air, but
the old gun got the blame.
Second last was Bill McQuillin, the
daddy of them all!
His shots were likely bull's eyes,
for we saw the target fall.
- And lastly then came Eddie Thom,
the last one on the score.
Ed told me afterwards himself
he'd never shoot no more."
Don't get discouraged Eddie; there
are others just as blind;
But tell you this before I quit,
they are very hard to find!

but he looked cute!
And now about the shooting; that's
the smallest part you know.
The shots were all too high or wide,
and the score was all too low.
First Jack McDonald took the gun,
the gathering to amuse.
He didn't hit the bull's eye, so he
didn't, get the shois.
Then Isaac Miller took the gun, and
said "I'll make a hit."
He thought he'd get the dollar, but
it wasn't in his mitt.
Elliott Miller ninety , nine said he'd
make, or somewhat more.
He never touched the target, so
they couldn't count his score.
Archie Aitchison next came, and at
once the fun began.
He put 'one shot in John Joynt's
barn, and then for dome he ran.
Things begin to look quite danger-
ous; quite a number homeward
roam;
When Wallace Miller takes the-gun
and sends a bullet home.
Yes, boys, he made a bull's eye.
Now comes the funny part.
He did the thing so cleverly that he
won a damsel's heart.
The girls all thought that Wallace
was the real Kandy Kid.
But he stepped on a banana peel
