 armed With repeating rides, from the woods in advance of 

 Sickles's line, on the Emmittsburg line, Berdan, by his rapid fire,

 Army of the Potomac and captured Little Round Top," said the 

 Confederate leader.

DOMINION DAY SHOOT. 



TlyfONTREAL, July 2.— With all the conditions most favorable, 

 1YL the tournament of the Dominion Gun Club to-day was an 

 unqualified success. The club had worked hard to make every- 

 thing come out all right, and their labors were rewarded by hav- 

 ing the most successful shoot ever held in Montreal. Not only 

 was there some excellent shooting done, but spectators were in- 

 terested, and during the day there was a continual stream of 

 visitors to and from the grounds, among whom were many of the 

 fair sex. 



There was not much time cut to waste on the grounds either, 

 the shooting for the ladies' prizes keeping all so inclined as busy 

 as they desired to be, and as competitors could enter as often 

 as they pleased, many of them who did not break the possi- 

 ble went back to the socretary and invested half a dollar for 

 another ticket. Thus it was tnat some gentlemen who started out 

 by breaking six kept at it until eventually the magic "nine ones" 

 were marked after their names ou the card. Then they were sat- 

 isfied and quit the ladies, and paid all their attention to the 

 "team" or the "individual." 



Mr. Masterman acted as referee in both the team and individual 

 shoot, while Messrs. Westcott and Larue acted as judges. Alex. 

 Jacques had the monotonous job of scoring. At the ladies' shoot 

 Mr. Brown took charge of the scoring cards. 



At about 9 o'clock the Ottawa contingent came on the grounds 

 and were heartily welcomed, shortly after which the team match 

 began. There were seven teams entered, the St. Huberts of Ot- 

 tawa, two teams of the St. Lawrence Club, Cote St. Paul, Lachine, 

 Dominion and Montreal. Notwithstanding that the Ottawa men 

 got on their way at daybreak and had traveled from Ottawa, they 

 were as steady as rocks when they faced the score and won the 

 five gold medals with the good score of 59. The St. Lawrence 

 Club did tuin out somewhat of a dark horse, their second team 

 taking second place and the five silver medals. Cote St. Paul took 

 third, and the Dominion, after shooting off the ties of 51, took 

 fourth prize. 



In the. individual shoot there were 42 competitors, and below will 

 be found the order and scoroB of the 20 prize winners. In the 

 ladies' match there were 139 entries. The 23 prize winners with 

 their best total is given below. Mr. J. Allan, of the Dominion 

 Club, won the keg of powder for the best average on the team and 

 individual competitions. 



The following tables give the results of the matches after all 

 ties had been shot off: 



Team Match— Open to teams of five men from any recognized 

 gun club in Canada, rive traps, 15 birds to each man. 18 yards rise; 

 Peoria blackbirds. Eatrance, $5 per team. First prize, Ave gold 

 medals; second prize, live silver medals; third prize, 2500 shells;

At the conclusion of the shooting of the 42 entries there were 

 the following ties: 3 at 17 birds, at 16, 3 at 15, 5 at 14, 3 at 13 and 4 

 at 12.

 fourteenth, A. Penniston fifteenth, W. L. Cameron sixteenth. P. 

 O. Masse seventeenth, A. Throrpo eighteenth, J. Doignineteeth, R. 

 Robert twentieth. 



The contest for first place in this competition was worth going 

 a long way to see, the shooting between Aubin and White being of 

 the most exciting character, and when Aubin, who is a mere lad, 

 killed his last bird, which gave him the victory, loud cheering rent 

 the air, and the delighted spectators would have nothing else but 

 bounce him, which was done in true Canadian style.

 have been granted the use of by F. X. Archambault, Esq., Q. C. 

 for two handsome prizes given by the club. 'Ihe conditions were

THE NEWARK TOURNAMENT. 



THE first day of the big Schlitzenfest at Newark opened with 

 rain, which was an affliction to those bent on parading, but 

 did not interfere with some good work at the targets. There was 

 some speech making with an address of welcome by Mayor Hynes 

 and shortly afterward the shooting was started by W. Milton 

 Farrow, of Holyoke, Mass., the present shooting king. He shot 

 at the point target and made only one point out of a possible 3,

 medals were C. F. Stewart, D. Miller, C. Schotte and A. Hoff- 

 mann. James Brooks made the first bullseye of the festival, prize

 the honor target, and with 94 out of a possible 100 is high on the

 THIS LYNCHBURG, VA., GUN CLUB, of which Mr. A. Strother 

 is president, had a combination picnic and shoot on the 4th of July, 

 and it was ft grand success. Every necessary provision had been 

 made for the amusement and entertainment of all who might at- 

 tend in response to the club's invitation, and of the hundred and 

 more, sportsmen and spectators, who were present, there was not 

 one who did not find plenty of fun and enjoyment . The shooting 

 contests were witnessed with great interest throughout. In shoot- 

 ing for the principal prizes there were some fine exhibitions of 

 skill by members of the home club, each of which were 

 greeted by applause. The scores made by the team of visit- 

 ors who contended for the Visitors' Prize were below the average 

 of the home club's score, although there were a number of accom- 

 plished sportsmen among them. Master Burwell Nelson, the 

 youthful winner of this prize, however, made a score, that would 

 have made an older marksman proud under the circumstances. 

 At 11:30 a bountiful lunch was served in the dining-room of the 

 fair grounds building, to which all sat down with appetites sharp- 

 ened by the exercise of the day. Enough eatables nad drinkables 

 had been provided for twice the numbers, and the remnants of 

 the feast made a larger display than the repast itself. Lieut. 

 Riggers, in response to repeated calls, 'signalized the occasion by 

 an apostrophe to the "Fort' Y'uly" iu broken German, which 

 brought down the house. The shoo ting was resumed immediately 

 after lunch and the programme completed in the course of the 

 afternoon. The winners of the prizes were: The Silverthorne 

 Badge, to Judge Latham, who made a score of 19 ont of 25. The 

 Visitor's prize, a gold-headed eaue, given by members of the club 

 for the best score made by a visitor, to Mr. Charles Richards, of

LONG BRANCH, N. J., June 22.— A pigeon-shooting match 

 took place this afternoon at the East End grounds. The "contest- 

 ants were Lawyer W. D. Campbell, accounted the crack shot of 

 Monmouth county; Postmaster W. R. Joline, also very good; and 

 the two Philip Dalys, father and son. The elder Daly being near- 

 sighted, and not, therefore, able to see the birds at which he shot, 

 was placed at 21yds.; that is to say, 3yds. nearer than his son, and 

 9yds. nearer than Mr. Campbell. Young Daly made a very re- 

 markable shot, killing a missed bird at 84yds. stone dead. Not- 

 withstanding the disadvantage of his shooting without his eye 

 glasses, and not being able to discern the birds, the elder Daly 

 came within one of winning. Two of Campbell's birds fell just 

 within bounds, or, by actual measuremont, 70yds. , lft. llin. One 

 bird of another contestant fell 79yds., 2ft. loin, from the scratch:
