LONDON, Eng., June 27.— There was a notable gathering at the. 

 grim nds of the Loudon Gun Club to-day to see the match between 

 M. Journu, the popular French shot, and Capt. Brewer, the 

 American; and, despite the good form shown by M. Journu dur- 

 ing the International week, 2 to 1 was freely offered on Capt. 

 Brewer. At the twenty-fifth round Cant. Brewer, who was lead- 

 ing by three birds, had 5 to 1 laid on hini, but he gradually became 

 a worse favorite, and although both shooters were level at the 

 forty- second, fiftieth and fifty-seventh rounds, M. Journu gradu- 

 ally forged ahead, and the odds on the Frenchman increased in 

 proportion, the match eventually being easily won at the ninety- 

 fifth round by M. Journu. The winner shot with his usual gun by 

 Guyot, and used Schultze powder. Capt. Brewer handled a full 

 choke by Greener, with Bachman's cases, 4drs. measure of Schultze 

 powder, and l%oz. shot. A sharp breeze blew across the traps to 

 the left, and a rare sample of birds took a deel of stopping. The 

 time occupied in shooting the match was two hours. The match 

 was for £100 a side, 30yds. rise, Gun Club rules. In the opinion of 

 those present Brewer's defeat was caused by his having practiced 

 at inferior birds previous to the match.

 JulyS. — The outcome of the match between M. Journu aud 

 Capt. Brewer was a challenge from Merwyn W arts to shoot the 

 winner. which was at once accepted by the Frenchman. The 

 conditions arranged were: To compete for £200, at sixty birds, 

 twenty at 31, twenty at 33, and twenty at 35yds. rise, and the con- 

 test was successfully brought to issue at this inclosure to-day. 

 M. Journu led from the commencement, and was one bird to the 

 good at the end of the twentieth round, having killed seventeen 

 rocks to his opponents sixteen. However, in the next stage of 

 the contest Mr. Merwyn Watts shot, exceedingly well, and not 

 only recovered his lost ground, but succeeded in securing an ad- 

 vantage, as at the fortieth "tour" the score stood: Mr. Merwyn 

 Watts, 32 kills; M. Journu 30. The last twenty rounds, at 35yds. 

 rise, were watched with great interest, and Mr. Merwyn Watts, 

 getting the worst of the birds, only stopped three out of his next 

 ten, while his opponent, grassing eight, was leading at the fiftieth 

 round bv three rocks. The contest was now booked a certainty 

 for the Frenchman, but Mr. Merwyn Watts, with defeat staring 

 him in the face, shot in an exceedingly cool and collected manner 

 and amid great excitement got on level terms with his adversary 

 at the fifty-ninth round. With only one more bird each to be 

 fired at, the excitement was intense, especially after M. Journu 

 had failed to grass his bird. In breathless silence Mr. Merwyn 

 Watts faced the traps, and a clever first barrel left him the win- 

 ner of one of the most exciting matches ever seen. Scores:
