The badge is a handsome gold one studded with diamonds. On 

 the bar is inscribed "Champion of New Jersey, 1887." Below are 

 two guns crossed, the pendant is circular in shape, on it a tower- 

 ing pigeon surrounded by ivy leaves. When this shoot commenced 

 the light was bad, the sky leaden and the snow-covered sides of 

 Orange Mountain for a background. Miller, who won, did grand 

 shooting. So did Brientnall. The latter killed his 30 singles 

 straight and led until the 44th round, when Miller tied him. Then 

 the locks of Brientnall's gun got out of order and both barrels 

 went off in his hands at the score. This jarred and upset him and 

 he missed his three last pairs:

 resident of New Jersey. Single bats:
