A CAED. 



Bbooklyn, N. Y., March 2d. 

 Editor Forest and Stream :— 



It has been reported that at a recent pigeon shooting match at 

 the Brooklyn Driving Part the birds were badly mutilated. The 

 Fountain Gun Club, which holds its contests on the same 

 grounds, having been notified of the occurrence, felt in duty 

 bound to stamp such practices with its strongest disapproval; 

 and at a meeting of the club March 1st, the following resolution 

 was unanimously adopted :— 



Whereas, Information having been furnished that at a recent 

 pi'hule shoot at -the Brooklyn Driving Park Oj oat-ties nut mem- 

 ben ' i this Club, nor under its control, the birds were muti- 



,',-, 'ula.l. That this club protests against such outrage, and that 

 a committer: of live be appointed to call on Mr. Howe, and while 

 exonerating him from participation in this late match, insist that 

 no fresh ore i i-oi-r hi fiOji pta-mi- uoj. opon t Lie ^ponipl^ of the 

 Brooklyn Driving Park. * 



The committee appointed consisted of Messrs. Kearney, White, 

 Wingert, Hanly and Goodwin. Fountain Gun Club.

A Dastardly Outrage.- Editor Forest and Stream :— The 

 Khodc Island Legislature lias just put its little foot on pigeon 

 shooting, and though I'm an old sportsman I'm glad of it. 1 

 doubt whether, in the aggregate, the birds suffer any more by 

 i .jo i; than by shuffling off their mortal coil by nature's pro- 

 cess; but I'm heartily tired of these boyish single-bird contests. 

 It is no test of skill in shooting ; good nerves and constant prac- 

 tice will enable almost any man to matte a good score. 



Considering it in the light of cruelty it is noble and human in 

 comparison to the "beastly" deeds that I heard of in Maine last 

 summer. Certain parties who disgrace the name of sportsman 

 used to go, for practice, to a swuflow bank and shoot the old birds, 

 leaving the young ones to die by the slow, gentle death of starva- 

 tion. It seems Incredible that anything calling itself a man can 

 Kb , >: so small a soul, but so it is, and the proper place for such a 

 thing is the penitentiary. Didymus. 



The writer of the above has a right to the expression of opinion 

 lie has written, for ho has before now scored his 28 out of 30 birds, 

 double rises. Single bird shooting is, however, difficult enough 

 for many. _^_____^___

 part of the week, for military rifles, is meeting with great favo 1 ' 

 among military men, the majority of those who have used it 

 being very well pleased with the result obtained. It shoots with 

 perfect accuracy at a distance of seventy-five feet, with a charge 

 of 3 grains of powder and 130 of lead, if arrangements can be 

 made, team shooting will be introduced among the different 

 military companies, for suitable prizes, wi th this cartridge. Ono 

 new feature added to the Gallery, by the request of ono of tho 

 members of the International Team of 1870, is bullet practice, .50 

 caliber round bullets being suspended by a thread at the end of 

 the Gallery, instead of the regular target. As many as'eight out 

 of ten have been hit by some of the crack shots. In the All- 

 Comers' Match for. the gold badge, lvalue twenty dollars, some 

 brilliant scores have been made. Mr. E. J. Watrous, of this city,

AVERAGES FOR 1879. 



UXBRIDGE CRICKET CLUll. 



This Canadian Club wasorganized several years ago, and owing 

 to mismanagement had greatly fallen off, but during the past 

 season the members seemed determined to make an effort to re- 

 trieve their fallen fortunes; and looking over the scores and 

 analysis, they show that they succoeded well. During the season 

 eleven matches in all were played, of which, eight were foreign 

 and three home games. Of tho foreign matches, Ave were won 

 and three lost, and the bachelors were victorious over the Rene- 

 diets in two matches out of three. Through the kindness of the 

 Club's Secretary, Mr. Edwin R. Rogers, we are enabled > " -
