 bined to answer for all Kinds of shooting, Mr, Robert A. Haebner,

 this match will beyond any doubt be held in the State of Michigan 

 some time about the first or early part of September, during which 

 time he will receive entries for the match at East Saginaw, Mich. 



BARCELONA SPORTSMEN.— Sunday afternoon is a season of gay- 

 ety in this old Spanish city, and a writer in a recent letter tells of one 

 method of getting so-called sport with a gun. As the Sabbath after- 

 noon advances the correspondent says; "A general move is made to 

 the San Pedro Martir, a hill, at the top of which overlooking the 

 town and harbor and laid out with tea gardens, etc., is the great at- 

 traction 'il Tiro a los Polomas,' or pigeon shooting. Seated around 

 a huge open area are fifty shooters-, while in the middle is a large 

 cage full of unlucky pigeons, which are liberated one by one and 

 rapidly riddled by the numerous and eager shooters. Each Sports- 

 man' has a dog of some .description, and when the pigeon falls a 

 gt neral rush is made by one pack to secure the quarry. At times the 

 whole fifty shooter discharge their guns at one bird, making a terrific 

 noise. Further down the hill another popular sport is carried on: 

 that is 'El Tiro a los Polios e Coueco,' the chicken and rabbit sh--ot. 

 This is a strange sight. Hung by the legs from a string, head down- 

 ward, about. 120yds. from the shooters is a live rabbit, while about 

 20yds. on either side are two roosters suspended in the same position, 

 and last of all. there is a white, rabbit, which is tied by the leg and 

 takes as much exercise as a tether. 10ft. long and a hail of bullets 

 will warrant. v Here in a reserved space, some 250ft from he r quarry, 

 sil a varying number of men. whose anxiety is to exterminate the 

 pending victims, which eventually succumb, one by one, and are 

 vie oriously carried away by the lucky marksman. A hit is always 

 visible from the kicks given by the unfortunate animal." 



ST. LOUIS, Mo.— The State shooting tournament of the Missour 

 State Sportsmen's Association, opened on the 2d inst. at the Cornp- 

 ton Avenue Park here and has been a very enjoyable affair in many 

 respects. There was no end of sweepstake maiches and almost every 

 part of the State was represented. The majority of the shooting was 

 at live birds and they were of a very good class. The main match of 

 the meeting was the competition for the State medal in teams from 

 clubs. This was shot on the 3d, and afforded opportunity for an un- 

 pleasant occurrence, from which, however, trap-shooting in general, 

 I and that of Missouri in particular, may reap some benefit. By the 

 terms of the tournament shooters were restricted to the use of one 

 ounce and a quat ter of shot. The winners of the prize last year were 

 the Keystone Club, of Cameron Mo., and they were in the lead on 

 the 3d until the 1 leventh round, when Mr. J. C. Caldwell of Norborne. 

 but of the Keystone also, stepped up to the mark. As he did so, Mr! 

 Riley, of the Kansas City Club, challenged his shell, and President L. 

 D. Dozier at once demanded it of the shooter. It was taken from the 

 breech and handed over to the judges, Messrs. S. C. Edgar and C. A. 

 Penrose, who. on drawing the top wad, measured the contents by a 

 Dixon's standard measure, No. 1,107, and thought at first that it was 

 overloaded. The Keystones did no more shooting, and when they 

 left the field it was generally understood that they would take no 

 further part iu the tournament. A committee, appointed by the 

 judges, however, investigated the matter more 'horoughly during the 

 evening, and came to the conclusion that the Keystones were not so 

 much in the wrong after all. They had ben using an old style ot the 

 Dixon measure, htile used of late, but still a perfectly legitimate one. 

 They had been using it for twelve years, and it was only a very little 

 larger than the new measure of the same make. 



The conditions of the State medal match made it open only to one 

 team of four men from each club belonging to the State association. 

 Five birds at each of 21, 20 and 31yds. rise; ties, three singles at 31. 

 Entrance, $20 a team; §100 to jo to the club last holding the medal, 

 the balance to be divided in 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. The first 

 money, 43.60. was divided between the Kansas City and the St. Louis 

 Game and Fish Preserve Association; the Excelsiors of St. Louis 

 took second money, $32.70; the Carondelet third, $21.80, and the 

 fourth money, $10.30, was walked off with by the club from Mexico, 

 Mo., which also annexed a special prize of $25, donated by the Kansas 

 City Glut). The score was as under. Fifteen birds at 21, 26 and 31yds.:
