FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Febettaet 24, 1881. 



The day was very unpropitioua. During the morning a bitterly 

 cold wind prevailed, and this by noon had increased to a perfect 

 gale, bringing with it. an asaortment of snow, hail and Bleet, which 

 drove across the grounds at the rate of about forty miles an hour. 

 Each competitor had to snpply 110 bluo rocks, the 'two lots of birds 

 being placed in one hamper and from that hampei trapped. Dr. Car- 

 ver failed at his third bird and Mr. Scott killing took the lead. The 

 latter, however, broke down in his fourth attempt, and as in this 

 round the Doctor had grassed with a very line second they were on 

 level terms. The shooting continued to be very even, lc.it a "srtsro" 

 scored to Mr, Scott in his tenth essay left him one behind his ad- 

 versary, whom, total int.; :i I o :■.. '. li l moo o -..lis ''Spirit of the West" 

 hit his eleventh very hard it managed to avade him, while the Lon- 

 doner downed a good rock in neat time, and consequontlv drew 

 level, A too great frequency of misses just about this time gave 

 Mr. Scott a powerful lead, he being four birds ahead at the eighth- 

 teenth round Between this and the twenty-tith round a change 

 came, and a few of Mr. Scott's birds crossing the pailiugs gradual- 

 ly pulled him back to the Doctor, who bud in the meanwhile set- 

 tled down to a good series, and in this way they were once more on 

 terms of equality, each haviug felled 18. Dr. Carver'* twontv- 

 sixth bird, a very snipy little customer, fairlv beat him, and as Mr. 

 Scott was more fortunate ho again went to "the fore. This advan- 

 tage, however, was only momentary, as in his succeeding effort 

 Mr. Scott pulled both barrels simultaneously and the bird escaped. 

 Another failure in inn m, on I v-i.-i^l'.tL t'i ml I a- Air. Scott gave ilie 

 Doctor the lead, ahd this for a time he held, but without argil' 

 meriting It to any great extent, The American's fortltietli pigeon 

 was a real flyer, and leaving the middle trap like a rocket was out 

 of bounds in au iustant Mr. Scott killed and, therefore, they 

 were again even, with totals of 29 each. During the next teii 

 rounds they remained in close company, while it was evident that 

 the excitement in the contest was gradually rising to a high piieb 

 At the conclusion of the tiftieth round— half the journey— Mr. 

 Scott had the lead by one bird, his figures showing 3G to 35. An 

 interval ,..l ten mi mill's hero neeon-. ■■'•. mid mi jv.-,nmmm uir nmufhei' 

 had slightly improved, the snow fall being less heavy and the light 

 clearer, though at the best it was bad enough. Both sportsmen 

 .-muii mo r l.i ;;iin.io; 1 1 m hci'oni] hall ul' thi.il' march -ilint. rem' trol- 

 ly, especially Mr. Scott, who during tho next fourteen rounds, se- 

 cured hut four birds. Dr. Carver, too, missed summit of seven, hut 

 a ruu of eight on tho right side gave him a decided lead, and at the 

 sixty-titf li round he was three to the fore. Between this and the 

 seventieth Mr. Scott pulled up wonderfully, reaching the latter 

 point only one in the rear. Unfortunately now Mr. Scott lost three 

 in succession, so that again did the American forge well to the 

 front: there being at tho seventy-sixth round a gap of five between 

 them. Mr. Scott never recovered this, though lie strove most man- 

 fully, and at the ninety-sixth round Dr. Carver was proclaimed the 

 winner by five birds,' hi* total being 05 to Mr. Scott's GO. Tbey, 

 however, shot at their remaining four birds each, and when the 

 hundredth round was finished the total stood— Dr Carver 60, Mr. 

 , Scott 62. As regards the shooting, there can he ho doubt that the 

 average was a very poor one, but to accouut for this the wretched 

 state of tho weather must be taken into consideration. At tho best 

 shooting in a snow storm is a difficult matter, but under vosterday's 

 circumstances, and with such clipping birds, a tall total was almost. 

 out of the question. Dr. Carver, it may be mentioned, shot with a 

 central-fire breech-loader built by Greener, while Mr. Scott had two 

 weapons, and changed about — one manufactured byGrei Bi ,,. 

 the other by Baker. Tho duties of referee it elo discharged by Mr. 

 Henry Holt. Score :—
