 shoot-off for the dub medal was as follows:

 H, Dollar as scorer. 



Every week we are obliged to defer to the next 

 week trap scores which come In too late for pub- 

 lication in the current issue. It is particularly re- 

 quested that scores be sent us as early as possible. 



NEXT WEEK'S SHOOTS.— The coming week will see a great 

 smashing of clays and slaughter of live birds. The Illinois and 

 New York State shoots will each gather a brilliant company of 

 shots. The Western men holding the 15th State shoot at Grand 

 Crossing, 111., and the Eastern men tbe 31st State shoot under the 

 auspices of the Elm Grove Club, of Albany. Besides these large 

 shoots dozens of clubs announce attractive programmes.

A PREHISTORIC CANOE. 



DISCOVERY of extreme archseological interest has been 

 made upon the Barton section of the Manchester Shi p Canal 

 W hile the excavators were at work in what is known as the "Salt 

 Eye" cutting, the steam navvy brought to light a prehistoric 

 canoe. It was imbedded in the sand about 25f't. below the surface 

 With some difficulty the canoe was removed to a shed in the 

 vicinity of the engineer's office and examined. It was found to 

 consist of a portion of an oak tree roughly hewn and fashioned 

 In length this relic of a long past age is 13ft. 8in, from end to end', 

 with a width cf 2ft. bm. Notwithstanding the lapse of centuries 

 the marks of the axe are distinctly visible in the interior of the 

 canoe, the width of the blade of the implement used— whether of 

 flint or iron— being apparently about 3in. Unfortunately the 

 vessel sustained some damage in the ruthless grip of the "navvy " 

 the bottom having been cut through at the bow end, while a por- 

 tion of one side is broken in. But for this mishap the canoe would 

 have neen recovered practically intact. The bow is shaped so as 

 to leave a projecting block, through which a hole is driven, evi- 

 dently for the purpose of fastening it by means of a rope. At this 

 point the gram of the wood indicates that the ancient workmen 

 had cut through the heart of the tree, and that a portion had 

 broken away. Another piece of wood appears to have been fitted 

 into its place and fastened with two stout wooden pins. The 

 piece itself is gone, but it is easy to pass the finger into the holes 

 left by the pins. At the opposite end the canoe has been strength- 

 ened by the fixing to it of a species of gunwale, consisting of the 

 naturally bent arm of a tree, also held in position with pees or 

 pins of wood. 



It is impossible to fix the precise period of the canoe, but the 

 circumstance that it bears no trace of a nail or any other iron- 

 work may perhaps aid the formation of an opinion upon this 

 point. The wood, particularly of the bottom, is for the most part 

 quite sound. A portion of one side, however, which has appar- 

 ently been at some period more exposed than the rest, has com- 

 menced to crack, and to prevent the spread of this process of 

 decay, now that the relic has been brought into contact with the 

 air. measures will at once be taken. The canoe rested in a bed of 

 sand and leaves, among which hazelnuts were found. In the 

 immediate vicinity several large trees have been discovered 

 leading to the conclusion that the bed of tbe canal is being cut 

 through what was once a forest. The ultimate disposition of this 

 interesting link with the remote past has not. been decided upon- 

 but it is hoped that it will be aided to the archa;ologic treasures' 

 m the museum at Owens College, Manchester.— Manchester. Ena
