5TWe aro informed that some of our
citizens have organized themselves into
Sportmen's Clubs, named Empire and
Excelsior. The Empire is composed of
the following gentlemen: Jas. Buck, Cap

Samuel Chapman and E. C. Lewis. The
Excelsior James E. Tutt, Capt.; R. R.
Livingston, F. M. Dorrington, II. Amieon,

On Tuesday of last week they left the
city early for a hunt. Tho agreement
was, the party scoi ing the least number
of points to pay all expenses and furnish
a supper. Evening came, and a crowd
gathered around the office of U. R. Liv

A fine supper was prepared on the fol

of the Platte Valley House, G. W. Crow.
The supper was a line affair, consisting
of the game, canned fruits, and many
other luxuries. Tho greatest of good
feeling prevailed.
After supper another challenge was
made by the Empire for a second buut on
Friday. On Friday morning the hunters
again disappeared, and nothing was seen
or heard of them until evening, with the
exception cf the distant thunder of their
fov.i"mg-pi-ees. Ihe oluce of tho Doctor
was cleared of the spectators in the eve
