There has he.cn no cessat ion of the bombardment of targets in 

 Conlin's New York gallery during The week. The revolver experts 

 have I 'an tain I "nine's big score before their eves and are trying to 

 duplicate it . Some of them come pretty close to the model, Bird 

 and Collins keeping within one point. Mr. A. Bronnan has made 

 45 out of a possible 60 on the decimal target, shooting tile heavy 

 33-ealiber revolver at the word "One." A new feature is the run- 

 ning man target reduced to 200yds. apparent range. Shooting at 

 this Target with a double action revolv er tests the nei ve and 

 quickness of t he marksman. 



IRA PAIKE'S PISTOL. — The announcement that t'liev. Ira 

 Paine was to give an exhibition of his skill with the revolver at 

 Walnut Hill ranee on the 18th, drew a great crowd to the field.

 editor of the Rillr, through whose efforts the exhibition lias been 

 brought about. Some time since Mr. Paine, at the same range, 

 aud under the same conditions as the match of to-day (100 shuts 

 from a Smith & Wesson army revolver, distance 50yds., on the 

 standard American target), made a score of 791 points, which 

 placed him at the head of revolver shooters in this country. To 

 bent the record was the object of to-day's meet. Ten strings of 10 

 shots each were tired. The first string, s7 points, was encouraging, 

 being two points above the record. The fifth point was remark- 

 able, the tally showing 90 points, five more than had ever before 

 been made The. balance of the. work was superb, the last scon 

 being an 87, and landing Mir, Paine With a score of 811, heating his 

 previous record by 50 points. As the score, now stands, Mr. Paine

 for *5II0 a, side on the grounds of the J. C. H. <"i. C. on the 17th hist, 

 w as elf. a large number of trap-shooters were on hand— many 

 from a distance, and Old South Paw and his boys, who ran the 

 affair, had a big day. Al's Uncle Sam's face had a big beam on, 

 and the boys had their hands full. They were an exceptional lot 

 of birds Al furnished. Somebody said he had been training them 

 on Snake Hill for days for the occasion. A cold stiff wind swept 

 from the left across the traps, making big scores impossible and 

 (lie quality of The birds more so; many of them with a couple of 

 cracks of the wings were off like bullets and stopped not at all 

 within hounds. The day was opened with the following ; .1. ( . II.

Then came a match for $50 between Prank Kleinz, of Philadel- 

 phia (one of Brewer's backers) and Wm. Graham, 50 birds each, 

 Hnrlingham rules. Kleinz had much the har der birds and he was 

 shooting a strange gun and lighter than his own, in order to com- 

 ply with Hurlingham rules. He shot much bet ter. it will be seen, 

 in the sweeps, but he became somewhat rattled in the match and 

 made some bad misses. Graham knew all about the gun he used; 

 he made some excellent kills, his wonderful second barrel coming 

 in with telling effect . Fred Quinland acted as referee— and Duke 

 did the retrieving:

In shoot off: Stice, Lever, Graham and Kleinz divided first;

Then Miss Oakley showed the crowd how a female could handle 

 a gun. Miss Oakley stands gracefully at the score and made some 

 very good kills, but the gun seemed too hea w for her with such 

 clipping birds. She joins the Wild West Show in Europe nest 

 month. It was now nearly dark, and thus close:! a big day among 

 the pigeon men of New Jersey. 



Graham refuses to shoot the match with Brewer at Philadelphia 

 on the 24th inst. or anywhere else until Brewer shoots him on the 

 grounds of the J. C. H. G. C. as agreed, which, if Brewer really 

 means business, will take place the 31st inst. at Marion. The money 

 from Brewer's friends was on hand to shoot at Marion after the 

 match at Philadelphia, but Graham wanted the first agreement 

 carried out, which will be done or the forfeit demanded. 



There Is another match on the tapis to take place on the grounds 

 of the J. C. H. G. C, on April 21, between George Davis and W, C,
