with 35 birds killed, and on Thursdav last this tie was shot off. 

 The weather conditions were favorable to a good score. The air 

 was clear as a bell, and with no wind to speak Of, Was Just cool 

 enough to be bracing. The birds were ah exceptionally good lot 

 and it required a considerable degree of skill to stop their rapid 

 flight. The Usual crowd of onlookers were present and those 

 Who were on l. lie right side managed to pick up a few dollars at 

 odds of 810 to $8 and $10 to $6 on Hedden, who as will bo seen 

 from this was a strong favorite. Milt. Lindslev was chosen 

 referee. Below are the scores made:

KANSAS CITY TOURNAMENT.- St, Louis, Md., March IB.— 

 Kansas City sportsmen promise a grand entertainment for the 

 visiting brother sportsmen at the State tournament in June. 

 The shoot is to be held in the park used by the local ball team. 

 Ten thousand live birds have been contracted for, and they of 

 necessity must be good strong birds, because they will be sprung 

 from ground craps. Eleven shoots are down for the five days, 

 all, with the exception of the State medal for teams of four, and 

 the St. Louis Gm Club medal, are to be open to the world. On 

 l he last day there will be a 25-bird shoot with $25 entrance. Some 

 of the shoots are use of one barrel only, but the majority use of 

 two. A committee was appointed to call upon merchauts to solicit 

 special prizes; and has secured many valuable and handsome 

 donations. A large attendance will be certain. Considerable in- 

 terest is manifesting itself among the sportsmen throughout the 

 State. Kansas City alone will furnish nearly thirty-five active 

 participants, which with the visitors that it is expected will be 

 on hand will swell the entries to fully seventy-five. Nothing will 

 be left undone by the Kansas City sportsmen that will in anv 

 wav hinder the amusement of the visiting trap shots.— Unskii 

 Fritz. 



DAYTON, O., March 11.— Considerable interest attached to two

The wind at times when the last 50 birds were being shot grew 

 stiff and caused some uncertainty. After Keenan had been de- 

 clared the winner, William Prate hett and Andrew Mum ma shot 

 their match, same conditions, the score standing. Pratchett 82,

 faced the traps at tho grounds of the Wellington club to-day

 15. In this match the following scores were made: Baxters,

CINCINNATI, March 16.— The attendance at the Bandle— Car 

 ver shoot here to-day was very large, even for this trap-loving 

 town, not less than 3,500 being present. The birds were good and 

 sharp, and Carver -was in fine growling trim, and growled at, 

 everything on the earth about him and the sky above him, though 

 the weather was extra flnev Mr. Taylor was the referee-, atlfl 

 made a very good one. Bandle was in good form, but he had % 

 haftl one to meet, and slipped away just one bird short on a,u ei> 

 eeUent score. Bandle shot au excellent race— a winning one 

 ordinarily— but the general opinion was that he resorted to. his 

 second barrel in case of a miss, with the first too hastily. -It must 

 be said for him though that he did not lack nerve, and shot as 

 coolly throughput as did his experienced opponent, and when Car- 

 Vet' endeavored lb rattle him by his constant talk he only smiled 

 add chewed a hit harder on his chewing gum. The race was a 

 very even one from the start to the finish, and on that account, 

 with Dr. Carver's constant complaints and kicking, was interest- 

 ing. Some $6,000 was wagered on the result. Bandle's coacher 

 will protest the match on two decisions— one, a bird shot by Car- 

 ver was shot while on the ground, missing it with his first and 

 killing it with his second, scoring a dead bird; whereas, accord- 

 ing to Rule 13, Hurlingham, it should have been "no bird," and 

 the shooter he compelled to fire at another. Another, a bird hit 

 hard with both barrols, lighting on the boundary post, fence, it is 

 claimed was struck by outsiders (scouts), causing it to fall in 

 bounds: scored a lost Turd. Another bird of Carver's, that he 

 himself acknowledged he missed with both barrels, lit on one of 

 the spectator's shoulders and closed bis wings, the spectator in 

 question standing on a bench, making his shoulder height sonie 

 nine feet from the ground, the spectator himself gathering the 

 bird aijd banding it tp the regularly- appoin ted gatherer. Bandle 

 and ,his friends endeavored- to personally arrange with him 

 another similar match for $500 to $1,000 a side, to be shot, either 

 here or in Kansas City, but he refused unless Bandle would use a 

 7>6tb. gun. 



One hundred birds, Hurlingham rules, 30yds. rise, fence bound- 

 ary, for a purse of $500.

 three sheriffs and but one gun. Just as the match closed Car*

 of the gun. Before he could seize anything else constables Re- 

 bold and Meyers attached the stock of the gun and all of the 

 Doctor's cartridges.

 New York held its first shoot of the year at Dexter Park, on the 

 Jamaica plank road, this afternoon. The chief event of the day 

 was the sw eepstakes at 10 live birds, for the club medal. Long 

 Island rules governed this contest, 10 of the club members par- 

 ticipating. The birds supplied were a fair set, some of them 

 being strong drivers. The number of incoming birds was pro- 

 portionately greater than at any of the club's snoots last vear, 

 and the scores made were, consequently not as good as expected 

 P. Hassinger and J. Schlicht tied for first place, both killing 9 

 straight, but missing the last bird. In the shoot-off at 3 birds 

 each, miss and out, both missed the first bird, Hassinger also 

 missing the second one, while Schlicht killed his and won the 

 medal. The following events were three sweepstakes, two at 

 live birds and one at blueroeks, the club members being divided 

 into two teams of five men each. Honors were even, each team 

 wiuning one sweepstake at live birds.

 with some strong drivers among them, but also a lot of sleepers. 

 Twenty-five shooters competed, two of them, H. Lee (23vds.) and 

 G. Haas (25yds.), tying for first place on 6 birds straight. On the 

 shoot off Mr. Lee defeated his opponent, killing 3 birds, while Mr.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 15.— The Forester Gun Club held 

 its initial shoot at Exposition Park to-day. The amateurs did 

 remarkably well at an average lot of pigeons. Most of the 

 membei's shoot 12-gauge guus and get the 2yds. handicap, the 10- 

 bores standing at 30yds. Some of the younger shots appeared 

 late, and had to shoot their birds off straight, which was too 

 much for their nerves. Mr. Drury Uuderwood was referee, and 

 Mr. W. V. Reiger scorer. Owing to the exertions of these two 

 veterans none of the bystanders were killed. It required their 

 constant attention to keep the shooters from loading their guns 

 before going to the score, and from turning a loaded barrel at. 

 the crowd after killing a bird. However, they fell into the cor- 

 rect habits toward the last, and shot cleverly. The score was as 

 follows at 10 birds: 



Alderson 1111111110-0 Scarritt lOOOUllOl— 6
