 go out and catch the bird.

MISS ANNIE OAKLEY. — This famous female wing shot last 

 week defeated Fred Kell, a well-known butcher of Baltimore, at 

 Frank Starr's Driving Park, by a score of 25 to 21 birds. It was 

 agreed that the matcn should be for a purse of $100, 50 birds each, 

 the one who shot the most birds to take the pot. At the park the 

 birds were reduced to 25. Miss Oakley was to shoot at 25yds., and 

 Mr. Kell was to shoot at 30. Miss Oakley was attired in a close 

 fitting skirt of seal brown cloth, with a braided panef that reached 

 to her ankles. She wore a looBe sailor waste of the same material 

 as the dress, to give her arms and body free action. On her head 



was pinned a light brown, wide-brimmed hat that sat coquettishly 

 on her dark, braided hair. Dark brown ostrich tips, a brown 

 band and a steel star made the trimming. At the word of the 

 referee, Mr. Peacock, of New York, Miss Oaklev stepped to the 

 stake and called for hoi- bird. The trap flew open and she fired. 

 She missed with the first barrel, but soon had the bird fluttering 

 on the ground with the second. Kell also brought his first bird 

 down with his second barrel. Out of the 35 birds Miss Oakley 

 killed 21, while Kell killed only 15. A second match against Kell, 

 25 birds each, was shot al, Hagerstown, resulting a.s f nJlows:

Kell. 211021112121010131021 1 131-31 



Miss Oakley used a Lancaster ha.mmcrless, 12-gauge, 61bs. in 

 weight, 3 drams Sehultze powder, loz. shot, and slood at 25yds.; 

 Kell shot alO-gauge Greener, lO^lbs., loaded with 5 drams black 

 powder and 1M?ob. shot, standing at 30yds. In a sweepstake after- 

 ward, at §5 entrance. 7 entries, Fred Quimby won first money. 

 Peacock, of Westvilie, N. Y., taking second money. Second 

 sweepstake, 13 entries, $5 each, miss and out, money divided be- 

 tween Miller, Ducker and Annie Oakley, who all killed 11 straight. 

 Darkness compelled a division. Miss Oakley shot at 28yds. rise 

 for the first time, the 10-gauge guns being put at 30yds. During 

 the day Miss Oakley shot at 36 pigeons and killed, all. She will 

 remain in Maryland aud shoot in the field for two weeks, in order 

 to get needed rest and recreation combined.

MONTREAL, Oct. 27.— The third match of the Horsley gun 

 series was shot on the Dominion Gun Club grounds to-day. The 

 unpromising state of the weather all the morning led a good 

 many to believe that the. match would be postponed. However, 

 t he steady downpour of rain ceased when the match was called, 

 and the best, contested match ever held on the grounds resulted, 

 showing first-class scores despite the unfavorable conditions of 

 a high wind, etc. Mr. Ferguson, of the D. G. C, won the match 

 with the splendid score of 19 out of 20, closely followed by C. 

 Horsely with 18. The next shoot for this gun will be held on 

 Thanksgiving Day at 1:30 P. M. sharp. The Dominion Club will 

 also hold an all-day shoot, consisting of a series of sweepstakes, 

 on this day, open to all, to which a cordial invitation is given to 

 shooters and spectators to attend. The following is the score of 

 to-day's match:

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.— A jovial crowd of sportsmen met 

 at San Leandro yesterday morning, the occasion being a pigeon 

 pigeon shoot, and al fresco luncheon arranged by Mr. Chas. Holtz. 

 Unfortunately be was disappointed of the number of birds he re- 

 quired, so many being held at high prices at the call of city 

 dealers that only about fifteen dozen were forthcoming, and the 

 day's massacre had to be eked out with clay-birds. They made 

 up in quality for the deficit in quantity, and in every instance 

 left the trap like a flash the moment the word "pull" was given, 

 and a good percentage returned to their dove-litter a trifle scared, 

 otherwise as safe and sound as when they left them. The shoot- 

 ing began at 10 A. M. with a 12 bird shoot at live pigeons under 

 Hurlingham rules, $5 entrance. Carter started in with a miss, 

 and putting three more duck eggs to his credit left off with 8. 

 Browne, who, by the by, got some hard birds, only managed to 

 score 7. Holtz fell aU to pieces, the birds being just a trifle too 

 good for him. He, like Browne, quitted with 7. Schraeder wound 

 up his string with 10 good kills, his tenth bird falling dead a few 

 yards outside the 100yds. boundary. Lambert did some excellent 

 work, but met with poor luck, no less than 2 out of the 3 counted 

 against him falling dead just outside. Cooke captured the leather 

 medal with 6, scoring au equal number of clean misses. Harper 

 did a trifle better, and had he not got a little bit rattled ou his 

 fourth and fifth birds, through his gun, a hammerless, missing 

 fire three times, he might have given a better account of himself. 

 The stakes were divided, Schraeder $30 and Lambert $15. 



The score, 12 birds, 30yds. rise, was as follows: 



Carter.. 020112012013— 8 Lambert 112010220211—9 



Browne 100311201001— 7 Cooke 200102001210-6

Sch raeder 021121011012—10 



Then followed a similar pool; same money, shooters and divi- 

 sion, at 10 birds. Carter shot in his old form and won with 9, 

 letting his second cross the fence, Holtze obtaining second place 

 with one less. The latter made the best showing up to the eight 

 round, but then broke badly and got left.
