exhibition shoot ay capt. BOO BDTJI 

 .There was a fair attendance at Wiet'mg Opera House last 

 night to witness Captain Bogarilus in bis wonderful feat of 

 breaking glass balls rapidly. The Captain was more success- 

 ful than ever before, breaking 301 out of 309. His longest 

 run was 104 consecutive balls. Time occupied, 23A minutes, 

 the quickest, lime the Captain ever made. 



The long range ride shooting was postponed on account of 

 a heavy rain this afternoon. The dog show and exhibition of 

 fish at the armory building is a perfect success.

The tenth round had been fired, when Ihe Jefferson team, 

 seeing thut victory for them was impossible, and desiring to 

 give the field entirely to Ihe other teams to effect a saving of 

 time, withdrew. 



The shoot was ended at 1:30 v. m. in favor of the Foresters 

 by one bird— the same lead by which the Central City won 

 the Wadsworth Cup. The Dean Richmond Cup now be- 

 comes the property of the Foresters, who have won it fairly, 

 and who value it highly. The Central Citys have simply ex- 

 changed cups, taking what is of the most benefit to them 

 financially. 



Contest. No. 8 was for the New York State Associalion 

 president's badge, presented by President Greene Smith. The 

 contest was open to all organized clubs which arc members of 

 the association. Entrance fee, $50. 'Uie badge becomes the 

 properly of the club winning it. The match was shot: 

 English rules, 30 yards rise, the shooter not knowing which of 

 five Imps will be pulled. There were five entries. Mr. J. 

 A Nichols represented the Central Citv Club of Syracuse, 

 Mr. T. H. Bix the Onondaga Club, Mr. H. Silsbv the Phm- 

 nix Club of Seneca Falls, Mr. Greene Smith the Madison 

 County Club, and Mr. Robert Newell the Forester Club of 

 Buffalo. The match was commenced at 2:30 p.- m., and com- 

 pleted at 7:15. The following is the gcore ;

This match was by far the most exciting contest of the 

 tournament, As will be seen by the score, Mr. Nichols led 

 the rest at the beginning of the third ten birds. He was 

 shooting in excellent style, and it was generally expected that 

 he would win. The excessive strain which he has been sub- 

 jected to, however, for the past week, had beguu to tell upon 

 him, and he was so ill that he was unable to complete ln's 

 score. Mr. Greene Smith, the giver of the badge, next passed 

 to the front and held it nearly to Ihc finish, closely followed 

 by Mr. H. Silsby and Mr. Robert Newell. It was not till the 

 last bird was killed that the contest was decided. The most 

 intense interest, coupled with the best of feeling, wns mani- 

 fest throughout the contest. In shooting for the President's 

 .badge, which was the most valuable of any of ihe prizes 

 offered at Ihe recent convention of the N. Y. State Sports- 

 men's Association, Mr. Robt, Newell, of Buffalo, the winner 

 began shooting in the match with a muzzle-loader, and missed 

 10' out of the first 20 birds shot ai. Se then changed guna, 

 taking his Parker breech-loader, and killed five birds without 

 a miss, and succeeded in killing 25 out of the last 30 birds 

 which gave him the victory. 



Jftr. Boot. Newell, the winner, accepted the badge from the 

 hands of the President, Mr. Greene Smith, with a few appro- 

 priate remarks on their arrival in Ihe city, which closed the 

 proceedines for 1877, and after a hearty greeting, most of tho 

 jubilant ^porUniei] took the evening trains East and West for
