JAMAICA PLAIN, Mass., Aug. 6.— The long looked for came at 

 last, a ladies' dav at the Jamaica Plain Gun Club. Wednesday 

 afternoon. Aug. 1, was the day set for the celebration of the great 

 event, and a more delightful day could not have heen made to 

 order. The tact that the affair was arranged and carried out by 

 the * fair sex" was a sure guarantee of success, and such it was in 

 every sense of the word, and it will be recorded as a red-lcW- day 

 m the history of the club. After shooting a few sweeps a collation 

 was spread, and to say the least the boys demonstrated the fact 

 that they could eat if they could not shoot. The most interesting 

 feature of the occasion was the ladies' special prize mat ch, at three 

 pair blue rocks and five clays, two valuable prizes were given and 

 a "booby," owing to a friendly rivalry existing between our vet- 

 eran ex-president, whose many years experience at bullseye and 

 trap has made him a very dangerous contestant to meet, especi- 

 ally when there are ladies in attendance, and our esteemed Capt. 

 L. D. Charles, Esq., who, possessing a large amount of executive 

 ability, and being a splendid shot under ordinary circumstances, 

 is pitiful to behold when ladies attend our shoots; his colossal 

 nerve seems to forsake him, and, to use his own expression, "he 

 can't shoot a little bit." In this match the prize was a valuable 

 gold-headed cane, won by Geo. Ingersoll, the second a handsome 



Eair of sleeve buttons, won by M. Brown, who prizes them so 

 ighly that he thinks of having them set in it is eve-glasses so he 

 can alway have them before him. The Booby prize was a very 

 fine hreechloading gun with two "arrows." and was wou by C. H. 

 Cilley without a struggle and no ties to shoot off. Capt. Charles 

 presented the prizes to the winners, each accompanied with :i re- 

 markable piece of oratory and a sort of a clid-vou-ever-get-lcft 

 look in his eye. The shoot lasted till a late hour, and all went 

 home convinced that a ladies' day at the trap is quite the thing. 

 Try it boys. Following are the scores: 



First event, blue rocks— Boothby, first; Brown, second: Lewis, 

 third. 



Second event, 6 clays— Brown, first; Chapin, second; Charles, 

 third. 



Third event, 5 blue rocks— Brown and Ingersoll, first; Cobb,

 Boothby and Chapin, second; Green and Ingersoll, third; Lewis, 

 fourth. 



Sixth event, ladies' match, 5 clays, pair of blue rocks -Ingersoll, 

 first; Brown, second. 



Seventh event, merchandise match, fifth one of a series of ten, 

 being shot at the regular shoots— Brown and Baker, first; Chapin 

 and Charles, second; Slocum, third; Ingersoll, fourth; Cilley, 

 fifth.— AnooicsnoN.

MONTREAL. Aug. 7.— The final shoot of the Dominion Gun 

 Club for a handsome gold medal took place to-day. The prize 

 was to be awarded to the best score made in four handicap 

 matches. The matches took place at intervals of a week, 15 

 Peorias each day being the targets. In the first two competitions 

 Emond took a lead that looked big enough to win. Tile next match 

 saw Tom Lesage to the front with a nice lead of four birds, and 

 everybody thought he had a dead sure thing, but the last match 

 yesterday changed the look of tilings. In the first round all tied 

 on 3 birds out of 5, leaving Lesage still 4 ahead and only 10 birds 

 to shoot at. Then Emond went in and 5 straight birds flew 

 away from him. making the score stand: Lesage 30, Wallace 37 

 and Emond 35. When the last round was started there was 

 grea t excitement. Lesage was nervous and only grassed 2 biids 

 out of 5. Wallace came next and knocked 3 inanimate pigeons 

 into smithereens. Then Emond stepped up. Five kills would tie 

 for first place. Bang! "Broken." said the referee, and he said it 

 four times. The last shot would decide it. Emond looked nervous. 

 "Ready," "pull," "bang," it was a straightaway. "Lost bird," 

 said the referee, and the big blonde was happv. The last miss had 

 saved him and he won the series and the medal by just one bird— 

 the last one. Following is the score of the three leaders: 



First, Second. Third. Fourth. T'l. 



C H Wallace. 22yds 10 9 10 11 40

THE NEW YORK Y. C. CRUISE. 



AS far as rac ing goes, it must be confessed that the present season 

 has proved a failure, especially so when the predictions and 

 promises of last winter are taken into consideration. All through 

 the dull season there was plenty of talk of great things to he seen 

 this year, of new yachts building, of old ones altered and repaired, 

 of fierce fights in the schooner classes, of renewed interest in the 

 70ft. class of single-stickers, and of races that should do something 

 toward settling the question of type. In spite of all this, now that 

 the principal races of the year have been sailed, yachtsmen are 

 as much in the dark as ever; in fact, not one conclusive result has 

 heen reached. Of all the races sailed there has not yet been one 

 closely fought battle in a good breeze between the larger yachts, 

 save perhaps the one between Grayling and Sea Fox in the Sewam.
