FACTORY AMMUNITION.-" Doctor F." writes from Troy, 

 Ohio, that he had long had a prejudice against the shotgun am- 

 munition loaded by machinery, but this has been overcome by 

 his witnessing the high scores attained by trap shooters who use 

 the loaded cartridge. 



TORONTO, July 4. The final contest for three gold medals 

 given by W. McDowall & Co., took place at their shooting grounds 

 this afternoon. The event comprised three classes, a medal and 

 four cash prizes going to each class. There were three fort- 

 nightly shoots at 113 Peorias each, day, the best average score 

 taking the prizes. Messrs. C. Kemp in the first, S. Wilkinson in 

 second, aud A. E. Romain in the third class won the medal. The 

 weather was splendid, with a slight .wind prevailing, and the 

 sky was just cloudy enough to take the glare off the polished 

 Peoria, thus leaving the shooter without an excuse. The scores 

 in the shoot are as follows, First class, 16 blackbirds, 18yds.:

NEWARK, N. J., JULY 19.-The Old Essex Gun Club is again 

 in grand shape and prepared for business. The arrangements 

 for the shooting at Erb's Park were broken up early in the year 

 for causes not necessary to mention here, and in looking around 

 for new grounds affording both convenience and quietude, Mr. 

 A. Heritage (Old South Paw), of the Jersey City Heights Club, let 

 down the bars and bade the club welcome to the acme of shooting 

 grounds at Marion. Not only this, but he volunteered to furnish 

 birds, trappers and every facility and at tention required, and to 

 make the bargain cheap to the club whose interest he has at heart — 

 being a co-member— he mortgaged himself and o tiered a valuable 

 special prize to the best man at the first shoot on his grounds. 

 To-day being the regular day for meeting in competition for club 

 and individual prizes, fourteen members put in. an appearance, 

 and had it not been for the threatening weather a greater num- 

 ber would have been present to have given Mr. H. a grand ovation. 

 The shoot was seven times interrupted by heavy showers, but the 

 boys stuck to it till dark, aud a more geaerally pleased lot of gen- 

 tlemen never left a shooting ground. The two objects in view in 

 this writing, is, first, to express publicly the gratitude of the 

 members of the Essex Gun Club to Mr. Heritage, and, second, to 

 let the shooting fraternity know that the Essex still lives since its 

 encounter with the Eastern Club during the blizzard, and that its 

 flag still flutters. The appended scores speak well for the first 

 shoot on strange ground, and although it, has not been customary 

 to publish the doings of the club, it may in future show the mem- 

 bers up in cold type regularly. The membership is divided into 

 three classes; each class has its own club fund and individual 

 subscription subdivided, all of which is for the season, and five 

 scores are necessary to qualify. Each member is credited with 

 the five best scores made during the year, the aggregate of which 

 determines his place in the competition.

 feet at the inanimate targets, their scores being ridiculously low 

 in many instances, Mr. Baker in one event breaking only three 

 out of twenty singles. Hart was most successful, smashing 

 twenty-one out Pf forty shot at. Appended are full particulars:

A CANOE. 



BY KATE HUDSON. 



Tj^MBODIMENT of buoyant grace. 



So seeming frail yet strung with strength 

 Throughout thy slender tap'ring length 

 To brave the waves' mad race. 



A lyre whose tightened cordage sings 

 With the weird wind-spirits' strain, 

 Fit prelude to the wild refrain 

 Each surging billow brings. 



But nought to thee the tempest's might, 

 Resting on ocean's restless breast 

 Thou poisest on each foaming crest 

 As sea-birds ease their flight. 



Or, drifting on the woodland lake. 

 Like leaves the airs of autumn blow, 

 Scarce the faint ripples from thy prow 

 Thy mirrored image break. 



For not alone by idle chance 

 Thy gently flowing lines were planned, 

 But moulded by some reverent hand 

 To match the current's glance. 



Thy sails, that o'er the waters flit, 

 Seeming like some wraith swallow's wings 

 So far removed from earthly things, 

 The wind's fair shoulders fit. 



Shaped afar nature's high decrees 

 In thee— like all true works of art, 

 Wrought not in pride, but. from the heart— 

 Her foster-child she sees. 



A CHALLENGE FOR THE NEW YORK CUP. 



MR. STEW" ART, who was here in 1886, wrote last spring to a 

 member of the N. Y. C. C. that he expected to challenge for 

 the New York C. C. cup, but nothing was heard by the club until 

 Friday last, when the following cablegram was received from the 

 secretary of the Royal C. C: 



"Challenge sent in May returned and delivered. Will you ac- 

 cept? Winser, Royal Canoe Club." 



Com. Munroe cabled an acceptance at once. It is not probable 

 that any one but Mr. Stewart is included in the challenge. The 

 race is likely to take place early in September, after the A. C. A. 

 meet.
