CREEDMOOR, July 4.-Th seventh match of 1888 for the sports- 

 man's badges was shot, at Creedmoor to-day. The weather was 

 fine, though warm, and the scores were good, although ft Bad wind, 

 which blew from 5 to 9 o'clock, proved rather troublesome during 

 the day. Attendance was fair. Stuart's score of 48 is the best 

 made so far this season. Following are the winners, 5 shots at 

 each distance:

UNCLE ARCE HAGAR.-Perryville, Mo., Aug. 2— One of 

 Perry county's oldest and most respected citizens died near here 

 yesterday, very suddenly. Every one nearly in the county knows 

 or has known old "Uncle" Arce Hagar. He was horn in North 

 Carolina in 1813. and removed to this county in 1827, and died at 

 the ripe age of 75 years, having uover been married, living with 

 his mother a little over seventy-throe years, she having died 

 about a year and a half ago at the age of 94. He was a great 

 marksman, and attended hundreds of shooting matches, and even 

 up to last year was accounted as one of the best shots. He kept 

 each paper target used at each match when shot, and they may 

 be seen now at his home. 



TORONTO, Aug. 4.— The Toronto Rifle Association held their 

 regular practice this afternoon, which turned out to be a remark- 

 ably bard day for good shooting, the light being very deceptive, 

 accompanied with a shifty wind. The telegraphic match between 

 Halifax and this association came off at the same t ime and re- 

 sulted in a victory for Halifax by S3 points, which goes to show 

 there must have been a. vast difference in the state of the weather 

 in both places, as if it were near equal the contest ought to have 

 been close. The return match will be shot next Saturday. Fol- 

 lowing are the practice scores:

 shooting competition between Toronto and Halifax began to-day, 

 the teams shooting on their own ranges. Each team is composed 

 of eight men, the Halifax eight being from the Garrison Artillery 

 and the Toronto eight from the Toronto Rifle Association. There 

 Will proba bly bo three da ys' shooting, the scores being telegraphed 

 to each city at the close of each day. The Halifax team had a 

 rainy, windy day, and madea rather low score, the total being 674 

 points. The scores by ranges were: 300yds., 235 points; r>t)0yds., 220 

 points; 000yds.. 219 uoints. Col. J. R. Murray looked after the in- 

 terests of the Toronto Association. Capt. Harris and Sergt. Har- 

 ris, two brothers, made the highest totals, viz., 92 each. By a 

 singular coincidence, this is the third time this season these two 

 brothers have scored the same totals. In one match their totals 

 were the same at each range. Toronto's score was 643, Halifax 

 thus winning by S3 points.

WILLIMANTIC, Conn., July 31.— The sixth contest between 

 the gun clubs of Norwich, New London, Middletown and Willi- 

 mantic. a t the line range of the latter opened with threatening 

 weather, but tho clouds cleared away without dispelling any 

 moisture, and a, day of fine sport was enjoyed by ina.uy of the. best 

 breakers of clay-pigoons in the country, as a tournament was 

 conducted in connection with the cup shoot. During the day a 

 total of 5,200 birds was thrown. William Perry, of Boston, and a 

 member of the Willimantic Gun Club, carried off the honors, he 

 hitting 140 and missing only 7. A stiff breeze prevailed during 

 the shooting, but notwithstanding this drawback good scores 

 were made. There was a large attendance of marksmen and a 

 goodly number of spectators were present. In the contest for the 

 silver Cup the Willimantic team won bv a score of 115; Norwich was 

 second, 110; New London third, 108; Middletown fourth, 98. The

 Wheeler 20, Webb 10, Robinson 17, Baldwin 16. In the. previous 

 contests the Willimantics won (.he trophy three times. It has 

 been captured more times by ( lie Willimantic. Club than it can 

 possibly be by any oilier club, and consequently is now theirs, to 

 have and to hold. There were 37 entries tor tho $50 guaranteed 

 purse, and first money, f 29.60, went to W. Perry, who hi 1 19 pigeons 

 out of a possible 30'. Second money, $522.00, was distributed be-

CINCINNATI. Aug. 2— The Independent-National Club were 

 supposed to shoot to-day, but only seven members putting in 

 their appearance little sweepstake shooting was indulged in, the 

 few matches shot being won by Goodman, Magle and Paul. One 

 of the winners, Magle, who was up to-day, a scholar of Wick, 

 studying the art of double bird-shooting, got the idea, and sensi- 

 bly, too, in his head that he could beat Wick at double rises— the 

 result being a match. The match was shot and won by Magle 

 by one bird. In justice to the loser it must be said he was, if 

 not altogether, a bit ca.reless as to the result, he shooting a hot 

 gun throughout; not cooling bis gun out once. No money hiuged 

 on the result aside of the actual expense of the match. Mr. 

 Magle, who has been taught by Wick the art of trap shooting, 

 shot remarkably, and with his winning of the Muldoon Medal on 

 a score of nineteen out of twenty single rises, feels proud of to- 

 day's achievement. Scores:

FRANKFORD, Pa., Aug. 4.— A few members of the North End 

 Gun Club braved the heat to-day and went to Fernwood to wit- 

 ness a private match, the first of a series of three between Mr. J. 

 H. Davis and A. L. Luuib. The weather was intensely hot, and 

 both the shooters and the scores made looked considerably wilted. 

 The conditions of the match were 50 clays, 30 singles, 20 doubles— 

 12-bore guns, under 81 bs., l^oz. shot. Mr. Lumb won with 40 

 breaks— Mr. Davis getting 29. The next match will be shot on the 

 N. E. G. 0. grounds. It was so warm that it was a punishment to 

 shoot, only one sweep being shot, 10 clays, entrance S2, resulting 

 as follows: Capt. W. 11. Pack 9, Jas. Wolstencroft 8, A. L. Lumb 

 9, Wm. Wolstencroft 7, S. Richards 7, J. H. Davis 5— J. C. S. 



MISS OAKLEY'S SHOOTING. — PHILADELPHIA, Julv 30.- 

 After the great score made by Miss Annie Oakley with a 20-bore 

 gun at Gloucester Park to-day, I send you the score and some 



Earticulars of the match. Miss Oakley shot with her 20-bore 

 lancaster gun, using 2££drs. of Schultze powder and iMoz. of shot. 

 The match was made as folbiws: Mr. Frank Butler, the business 

 manager for Miss Oakley, was talking about, her shooting with 

 her 20-bore gun and killing 41 our. of 50 pigeons, when a Phila- 

 delphia gentleman stepped up and said he did not think she could 

 kill 40 out of 50 "Philadelphia pigeons" with a 20-bore gun at 25 

 yards rise and 5 traps, Hurlingbam rules, for $200. The niatch 

 was made oa the spat, and Mr. J. Frank Klein tze. of the Wiupo- 

 hockingGun Club, and the champion pigeon shot of Pennsylvania, 

 was chosen referee, and Miles Johnson, the well-known shot of 

 New Jersey, trapper. The match created quite a sensation among 

 the shooters of this part of the country, who had been using 10 

 and 12-bore guns, "and some of them do not think a 10-bore gun 

 large enough for live birds," and it drew a large delegation of 

 shooters to the Wild West show to witness the shoot, and bets 

 were freely made that Miss Oakley would not accomplish her 

 feat. The birds were a good lot. some very fast flyers being among 

 them. Although the betting was against her, I do not think there 

 was anybody on the grounds that was sorry to see the extraordi- 

 nary score made by the little lady. From the time the first bird 

 left the trap until the last one was scored the interest was un- 

 diminished, and when an extra gocd one was brought to grass the 

 applause was deafening. The only bird loaf, was t he thirty-second 

 and that dropped dead on the roof of the band pavilion. The s econd 

 barrel was used ten times, aud that was four times more than 

 was necessary, the others being brought down in fine style wit h 

 one barrel. The score was as follows: 



111113 121112112111112111 2-25

 MERIDEN, Conn., July 21.— The Parker Gun Club, of this city, 

 under rather unfavorable conditions, held a tournament to-day. 

 New Haven being well represented by the cracks, though Mr. C. 

 I r. Stci ry, of Tolland, Conn., carried off the honors of the day, as 

 well as most of the money. The catering, under the efficient man- 

 agement Of the ever popular Mr. Harry Oil en, was the best the 

 ciub ever bad, and atoned in a measure for poor management in 

 other respects, f irst event, six blue rocks, IlilL and Sterry first.

CINCINNATI, O.-The Wick-Bandle shoot during this week has 

 been a great success. It was set down for Tuesday and Wednes- 

 day, Aug. 7 and 8, on the Old Avenue Ball Park. Live birds were 

 substituted for the English sparrows, which are at this season of 

 the year hard to procure. The MeMureby Ohio State League 

 rules governing the division of entrance money were adopted, 

 thus giving the amateur an equal show with the expert. The 

 rule which governed all sweepstake matches during the tourna- 

 ment reads: "The net amount of purse shall be divided into two 

 equal parts. For instance a purse of $10 would be divided into 

 two S5 purses, known as Classes A and B. In a ten-bird race all 

 those breaking or killing ten, nine and eight divide purse A, and 

 those breaking seven, six and live divide purse B. These purses 

 to be subdivided in 50, 30 and 20 per cent."
