CINCINNATI, May 30.— A larger attended nor a more spirited 

 shoot never took place hero than that of to-day at the Five-Mile 

 House, Avondale, between toaniB of 15 men composed of old-time 

 shooters and the youngsters— shooters pre-eminent to-day— and 

 had the race been one of greater length the probabilities are it 

 would have ended in a victory for the gray-bearded men. Pat. 

 McAvoy was booked for poor work, owing to his advanced age, 

 hut astonished all by kiUmg all his birds as clean, if not cleaner, 

 than any of the contestants, and that with a gun but 22in. long in 

 the barrel — the same he killed the lion and leopard with which 

 escaped from the Zoological Garden some 8 or 10 years ago. A 

 more agreeable lot of gentlemen than those present never met, 

 one and all doing and resorting to everything in their power in a 

 legitimate and funny way to rattle their respective opponents. 

 The youngters did not shoot up to expectations, while to the con- 

 trary, the opposing team, the old boys, surprised even themselves, 

 many of the latter not having fired a gun for at least five years, 

 which can be said of the majority, barring, of course, Wick, 

 Mason, George and Ferris:

THE ST. HUBERT GUN CLUB'S TOURNAMEN T.— The St. 

 Hubert Gun Club's tournament held on May 24 (Queen's birthday) 

 was a success, financially and otherwise. The day was beautiful 

 and there was but- little wind. There wasintense excitement over 

 the shooting off ties for first place in the team match by the 

 Toronto Gun Club and the Dominion Gun Club (Montreal) teams. 

 They tied twice: the second time it depended on "'Josh" Wayper, 

 the tail ender of the Toronto's, making a straight five to tie the 

 Dominions again. One miss and the two beautiful silver cups, five 

 medals and the illimitable glory pertaining to the winning of so 

 important a match were lost. But this heavy responsibility did 

 not flurry "Josh" in the least. He stood up to the score, powdered 

 all his birds and again it was a tie. Then Torouto waxed arrogant 

 and almost any odds were offered that they would win, with no 

 takers. Your correspondent overheard a Torontonian remark: 

 "The trouble with these clown East boys is that they can't stay." 

 That they could "stay" and just a little better than the Western- 

 ers the sequel shows. The Dominions shot first, aud so poor was 

 their score that the hopes of their sympathizers fell to zero; but, 

 to the astonishment of all, their opponents seemed to goto pieces, 

 and amid prolonged cheering the announcement was made that 

 the Metropolis had beaten the Queen City. The winner of the in- 

 dividual cnamnionship, "Josh" Wayper, is a phenomenal shot, as 

 can readily be conceived when it is seen that he missed but one 

 bird in upward of eighty shot at. These were Bhot over three 

 different ranges, from three sets of five traps facing different 

 points of the compass. Is not this a creditable performance? He 

 uses a Greener hammerless gun.— F.

WORCESTER, Mass., May 30.— A two days' tournament at Coal

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 27.— One of the pleasantest and most 

 interesting affairs to local sportsmen that has ever taken place 

 in this city, was the team shoot between the two local clubs 

 to-day. The conditions were 10 men from each club to shoot at 

 24 single blue rocks, from 3 traps, at 18yds. rise, each man shoot- 

 ing at 3 birds before leaving the score. The match was brought 

 about by a challenge issued by the Rod and Gun Club about a 

 month ago, which was promptly accepted by the Recreation Club, 

 although its members had not done any trap shooting for over 

 three years. In fact, some of them had never shot over a trap at 

 all, Mr. J. C. Cline, who was chosen captain of the Rec reation 

 team, selected his ten men soon after the challenge was accepted, 

 and got them out for four or five practice shoots— and from the 

 scores that they made he felt reasonably confident of success. 

 The fact that the wind was strong may accoont for the poor score 

 made by both teams. The average was 14 for the Recreation and 



14 9-10 for the Rod and Gun. The result will probably lead to an- 

 other match, when better scores should be expected from both 

 clubs. The score: 



Rod and Gun Club.
