THE MISSOURI STATE SHOOT. 



PALMYRA, Mo., May IT, —Rain began falling early last evening 

 and continued until 10 o'clock this morning. It looked for a 

 time as if the shoot would he a failure, hut by noon the clouds 

 broke and the shoot began. About fifty participated in the first 

 shoot, St, Louis having about fifteen. The. first shoot was for $100, 

 10 birds, 21 yds. rise. Thirteen men tied on 10, 15 on and fully as 

 manv on 8. The ties were shot off and Messrs. Underwood and I. 

 R. Riley of Kansas City, John Lemmous and John Gash of Pal- 

 myra tieing, divided first honors and the money. Rightmyer, of 

 Palmyra, carried off second money, $76. Messrs. Bates and ruley, 

 of Painivra, Bingham, of Kansas City, and Edington and Uolti, of 

 St. Louis, tied on 9, and after a h alf dozen contest* those were nar- 

 rowed down to Bingham and Cole, who divided second tie honors. 

 The attendance was unusually large for the. first day. St. Louis 

 had parts of four clubs— the Excelsior, the Western, the Missouri 

 and Sportsmen's. There are fully fifty St. Louis men in the city. 

 Excelsior had thirty-five men and established headquarters on the 

 grounds with a tent, flag and silk banner. Kansas City had parts 

 <■ of three clubs— the Jefferson City, Gun club and the Butler club. 

 In addition to this large numbers of individuals were present. 

 The pigeons were lively, the afternoon fine and the sport excel- 

 lent. Old members of the club say the best shooting ever done 

 "was done this afternoon. This evening Hanley's opera house was 

 Crowded with sportsmen assembled to elect officers and attend to 

 other business. The members discussed the game laws and 

 amendments and passed resolutions against the adoption and 

 enforcement of stringent laws. The meeting lasted until hear 

 midnight.

DAVIS VS. CANNON. — The adjourned match between these two 

 trap-shooters came off on the grounds of the J. C. H. G. C. on the 

 21st inst. The day was fine, the birds a trained lot, furnished by 

 Miles Johnson and Al. Heritage, and the number of interested 

 spectators large. Representatives were present from New Jersey, 

 Long Island and Staten Island, knowing that this match was no 

 hippodrome affair, butwould be shot on its merits, the best man 

 <at least on r.hat day) to win. Davis was in fine condition, tak- 

 ing the lead early and keeping it up. He shot in fine form, making 

 some very brilliant, kills. Cannon, though cool and plucky, was 

 decidedly off, and missing five straight gave Davis a big percent- 

 age. We have never seen a more plucky shooter than this one- 

 armed Cannon. He was not only jolly throughout, but continued 

 to back himself with his own money, even when the match was 

 half over and it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would 

 be shot out and that soon, but he improved some and was not shot 

 out until the 43d bird. Cannon had rather the hardest birds and 

 let them get too far away from the trap before shooting, while 

 Davis got on to them almost instantly. Davis had onlv one dead 

 out of bounds, while Cannon had 3, his 41st drooping through a 

 hole in the fence. There was some good shooting bv both men, 

 but we are of the opinion that Cannon has no business fooling 

 with George Davis, and his nerve or pluck will only cost him so 

 much more money. There was 6ome talk of another match be- 

 tween the two men, but nothing definite was settled upon. South 

 Paw's Duke, assisted by DoJonge's pointer Frisco, did the re- 

 trieving. Match between Geo. Davis, of Greenville, N. J., and 

 W. S. Cannon, of Newark; 50 birds each, $350 a side, Hurlingham 

 rules, except weight of guu. F. Quinlan, referee, F. Satter- 

 thwaite, scorer:

 match ever held in New England took place at East Watertown 

 on May 11. between teams representing the Harvard University 

 aud the University of Pennsylvania. The wind was a gusty On©, 

 blowing directly across the range, and it, proved a puzzler to the 

 visitors, .At the eSd Of the first round Harvard hM a lead bf 8 

 birds, which at the end Of the second was increased to 7s and then 

 to 13 in the third, 17 in the fourth and 15 in the fifth and last. For 

 Harvard the best work was done by Clyde, who shot 14 bird ft 

 straight, and Austin altd Mead, who each shot clean rounds of 8 

 birds, Randolph and ChcW did the bulk of the work for the Penh* 

 sylvan ia, It is but fair to say that the visiting team were handi^ 

 capped by lack Of practice at clay birds, as it is their custom to 

 shoot at live pigeons. They have also been practicing at open 

 traps and were considerably bothered by the screen used on the 

 Harvard grounds, About 50 spectators were present! 25 birds pe? 

 man, thrown at 18yds,, rotation Of 5 angles, score bv founds!
