THE HAYES DORRLER MATCH.-Sdiror Forest and S'ream: 

 Pm-On Saturday last there was shot at Union Hill, N. J., a friendly 

 match of 100 shots each, 200 yards range, ring target, between Messrs. 

 William Hayes, ef Newark, and M. Dorrler of the Zettler Rifle Club 

 of New York, the result of which, as published, does great injustice, 



1 think, to one of the fairest and most gentlemanly amateur riflemen 

 in the country; and in common fairness to the defeated I beg for 

 space to state a few - thus far— unpublished facts bearing on the 

 affair. They are, briefly, as follows: On arriving on the around 

 prepared to shoot, Mr. Hayes discovered that— with the equipment 

 he had brought— he would be compelled to shoot against the wind, 

 with a bullet, of .32-caliber and 160 grains, against Mr. Dorrler's .38 

 caliber Ballard with nearly 300 grains of lead, and at once stated chat 

 he was badly handicapped unier the circumstances, if the wind held 

 in the same quarter, as his shots would not bold their elevation and 

 direction with the bullet and charge of powder he was provided 

 with so well as Border's heavier bullet and charge. And before a 

 shot was fired a muutal agreement was made between the competi- 

 tors, with friends of each man present as witnesses, that the loser of 

 the match should have the privilege of naming and claiming three 

 other matches, one at Union Hill, one at Newark, and the third to be 

 shot on a neutral range. Under this agreement the match was shot, 

 aud resulted in a victory for Mr. Dorrler by a score of 2173 against 

 2146 by Hayes. Immediately after the shooting Mr. Dorrler stated 

 that he would never again shoot anybody in an individual match, 

 and completely and emphatically repudiated the terms of his agree- 

 ment. As it was a case in which— from the previous records of the 

 men— Mr. Hayes had everything to lose and nothing to gain.while Mr. 

 Dorrler could lose nothing but gain everything, I think nothing 

 further need be said as to the standing, among fair-minded riflemen, 

 of one who would, to put it mildly, take such an unfair advantage of 

 an accident which favored him.— Justice. 



BOSTON, July 3 —The attendance at Walnut Hill was smaller than 

 usual to-day. The weather conditions were poor for good scores, 

 and many were left unfinished. Mr. Reed made a fine score of 89 

 decimal and clean count Creedmoor. All shooting at 500yds.:

 a hundred or more ladies. Besides the winners, whose names are

 2 double birds and 1 single bird, 15yds rise, and another match at 10

In the above shoot there were used three different kinds of traps

 difficult shooting on account of the three different flights of the birds.

OTTAWA, June 29.— The shooting tournament under the auspices 

 of the St, Hubert Gun Club began to-day. There are 14 prizes of 

 the total value of $1 000. The first match was an individual handi- 

 cap sweepstakes, at 10 single clay pigeons, with 5 prizes. The first 

 meeting of the convention was held this evening, when the Dominion 

 Association was formed. JThe patron of the tournament is Sir 

 Adolpue Caion, and the committee consists of Messrs. T. G. Cour- 

 solles, W. L. Cameron, J. C. Tache, John Deslauriers. Aug. Levesque, 

 L Fortier, Ph. Thompson, R. W. Stephen, Alex. Jacques, P. Boulay, 

 E. Smith, Thomas Brule and A. Throop. In to-day's sweepstake M 

 C. Smith took first place, Mr. McMurchy second, and Hudson third! 

 As soon as the first bird was scored Constable McKenzie, of thj 

 S. P. C, notified those on the ground that as they were shooting 



under Dominion laws he would take down the names of the shooters 

 and summon them before the police magistrate to-morrow, and tbey 

 must bear in mind that tbey were subject to a fine of $25 and costs. 

 This was a bombshell in the camp. Gatling gun Howard, on behalf of 

 those who had entered for this match and paid their tnonay, applied 

 to have the same refunded, as neither he nor other American visitors 

 purposed committing a breach of the Dominion laws while they were 

 under its flag. After a general discussion on the subject of Dominion 

 gamep, it was finally agreed to go on with the shooting in the first 

 squad, and only those resident to shoot to-day. The members of the 

 club who were the most interested declined to be drawn out. 



PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-At the clay-pigeon tournament at Clark's 

 Olympic Park to-day there were six competitors for the solid silver cup. 

 Out of a possible 20 Heft made 13, Kleinz and Greenwood 15 each 

 and Lawrence 17, while Rush and Brewer tied with 18 shots. The

Editor Forest and Stream: 



w e beg to subjoin the treasurer's report of the receipts and expend- 

 itures connected with the American Canoe Exposition, held in Harvard 

 Rooms in April last. The managing committee take this opportunity 

 of thanking first the. exhibitors and clubs who contributed their time 

 and efforts so liberally in collecting objects of interest and so making 

 the exposition what it was; second, our brethren of the paddle and 

 others who responded to the call made upon their pocketbooks and 

 supplied the sinews of war; third, the business houses, which sent us 

 elaborate and beautifully arranged exhibits, accompanied in some 

 cases by money donations. Among the latter should be especially 

 mentioned Henry Squires, Esq , the Radix Manufacturing Co. and the 

 Gorham Silver Co. We congratulate canoeists generally upon the 

 success of this, the first canoeistic exhibition ever held. We believe 

 it has accomplished its end in calling a large amount of intelligent 

 and appreciative attention to our favorite sport, and we trust that the 

 example thus set in New York will be followed in other canoeing 

 centers. The small balance remaining unexpended in our hands 

 ($10.65) will be devoted to preparing a memorial flag, bearing a picture 

 of the hall as it appeared when filled with canoes, etc. This will be 

 presented to the regatta committee of the A. C. A. for inter-club 

 competition at our autumn meet at Grindstone Island. The photo- 

 graphic slides will be placed in the hands of the secretary of the A. 

 C. A., to be loaned, under suitable conditions, to clubs desiring to give 

 similar entertainments in future
