 beautiful for anv outdoor sport, but just now sport is at a stand- 

 still here. The principal event on the cards was the second open 

 competition for the Greener gun shoot, which brought out most, 

 of the crack shots. The competition, however, was. again won by 

 C. Anbin with a score, of 10 out of a possible 20, which made a tie 

 with Mr Cameron who was bcat. n handily m tbs shoct -r.tt L.n

GUELPH, Ontario, Nov. 29.- The annual pigeon match between 

 sportsmen of the City and County came off this afternoon 

 at Sleenian'.i brewery, 10 men a side, 10 birds each. The day- 

 was not verv good for the purpose and a shower of snow inter- 

 fered considerably, so that the scores were not up to the mark. 

 The City won by 5 birds, but the County men console themselves 

 by the fact that this is only the second match they have lost with 

 the town in twenty years. It was for a supper. The captains 

 were George Sleemao for the County and Mr, W. D. Shattuck for 

 the City. The scores are as follows:

 match at. 25 birds, 18yds. rise, 3 traps, 12-gauge guns allowed the 

 handicap, on the grounds of the Auburn Gun Club this afternoon. 

 The score was 19S to 187. The visitors were dined at Stokes and 

 supped at the Avery, returning to Syracuse on the 7:17 train. The 

 Auburn gunners attribute their defeat to the absence of two of 

 their regular team. The score follows:

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 29.-On the high bluff just back of 

 Oakland the Squirrel Hill Gun Club to-day held its Thanksgiving 

 tournament. A better location for tra p shooting could not he 

 found in the vicinity of the two cities. The hill is, in fact, a pro- 

 montory that occupies the space between (lie junction of two runs. 

 The little club bouse occupies one side of the hill and faces to the 

 south. Just in front of it were the traps. The shooting com- 

 menced at 11 o'clock. The light was good and ( lie contestants shot 

 briskly and with hearty good will. A number of the friends of 

 the club were present, but not in such numbers as to unpleasantly 

 crowd the place. The blueroek matches were sharply contested, 

 but the real fun of the day was the live bird shoot. 100 English 

 sparrows had been provided for the sport. The birds did not trap 

 well. Cigar boxes were utilized for traps, and for the most part 

 the sparrows were brought down before they were twenty feet 

 away. The bird that as soon as released made a dart for 

 liberty usually succeeded in getting there, and, clipping and div- 

 ing, disappeared over the brow of the bluff. The birds were for 

 the most part too tame for lively sport. They would usually when 

 released hop about for a moment before they took wing and wen 

 brought down before I hey were high enough to put into offer 

 their dipping mode of flight. The matches were all sweepstakes. 



Another observer who was present comments on the shoot and 

 birds, saying: "The day was not favorable by any means for live- 

 bird shooting, the light being very poor a nd I be birds good hard 

 flyers. The men using hard choked trap guns suffered in these 

 matches, but in spite of the bad light and other drawbacks, the 

 scores were unite creditable, for the birds— English sparrows— are 

 a new target to Pittsburghers. The opening shoot at them has 

 already made them uuite a favorite." 



In the opening match at bluorocks, $2 entrance, there were 12 

 entries. McCrickart and Davidson broke 8 birds each and divided 

 first, money 7 ; Snyder and Givens broke 7 each and divided second 

 money, and Clark won third with 6 birds. 



The second match was at ti bluorocks, entrance $1.50, 12 entries. 

 Snyder, McCrickart and Penn divided first money, each, breaking 

 l> birds; Davidson. Me Knight, Givens and Reagan tied for second 

 with 5 birds, Davidson winning the shoot off; Clark took third 

 money, breaking 4 birds. 



The third contest was at 12 blueroek s, $2.50 entrance, 10 entries. 

 Corry captured first money with a clean sweep of 12; Snyder and 

 Davidson divided second money, each breaking 11 birds; Clark 

 tied with Givens on 9 for third, but beat him in the shoot off. 



In the fourth match, at 6 bluerocks, $1.50 entrance, there were 

 12 entries. Snyder and Corry divided first money, each breaking 

 6 straight; McKnight, Givens and Penn divided second money 

 with 5 each; McCrickart took third with 1. 



The first sparrow shoot was at 10 birds and there were. 17 entries. 

 The score was as follows:

 The rise was 18yds. for 10-gauge and 16yds. for 12-gauge guns. 



WALNUT HILL, Nov. 88— Owing to the fact that to-morrow 

 will bo Thanksgiving Day, when shoots will be held by nearly all 

 neighboring clubs, hardly the usual number of shotgun enthusi- 

 asts reported for duty at the range to-day. Those who could af- 

 ford to give two days for recreation, and did come, were amply 

 compensated, as the day has been extremely fine, and one greatly 

 to be enjoyed by all lovers of outdoor sports. The principal event 

 of the meeting was the thirteenth competition in the Gold Coin 

 match, in which the scores were fairly good. The summary fol- 

 lows: Gold Coin match, 10 clay pigeons from 5 traps, and 10 Stan-

BANDLE AND HEIKES. — Dayton, O., Nov. 30, -Editor Forest 

 and Stream: The 100 live-bird match, Ilurlingham rules, except 

 as to weight and gauge of guns, between At Bandle and Rolla O. 

 Heikes for a purse of $500 and divided gate was shot here yester- 

 day and finished this morning in the presence of an audience of 

 2,500. Weather was raw and cloudy, and betting was decidedly 

 in favor of Heikes and that the winner would not kill over 90 

 birds. Geo. Wells, of Covington, Ky., was referee and your cor- 

 respondent was score keeper.

 OTTAWA, Nov. 24.— The St. Hubert's Gun Club have again 

 started their trap shooting. They complain that this season game 

 was very scarce and encroachments had oeen made on their pre- 

 serves at Buckingham marshes. The club, as a result of the visit 

 of Mr. Leacb, of the Dominion Cartridge Company, have ap- 

 pointed E. L?mieux, R. W. Stevens, A. W. Throop and W . McMahon 

 as their representatives to the Dominion Gun Association. It is 

 certain that the establishment of such an association would be an 

 immense, advantage in the struggle to preserve game, and it is an 

 established fact chat should the game laws not be enforced in the 

 next few years there will be no game left to shoot. To-day the 

 principal 'scores made in a 15-btrd sweep were: A. Throop 11, 

 Geo. White 10. and P. Trudeati 9, 



PORTLAND, Me. Nov. 29.— The animal Thanksgiving Day

Shooting was then discontinued in favor of the national bird. 

 The. day was not favorable to high scores, as the light was very 

 poor, owing to the rain. Some idea of the amount of shooting 

 done by the club can be had from the fact that during the present 

 season over a ton of shot and several hundred pounds of powdtr 

 have been used. The next meeting wdll be on Tuesday, Dec. 4. 



DUNELLEN PICTURES— Some weeks ago in our report of 

 the Dunellen tournament, we printed a photograph of Charlie 

 Smith, J. E. Miller and Tom Keller as they appeared on the 

 grounds, which has been a source of amusement to their many 

 acquaintances. Some of these photos, and another in which 

 Seymour G. Smith, with his grandfather's hat. appears, they 

 have had struck off in cabinet size for the benefit of their gener- 

 ous Western friends. A copy r of each has been sent to us, which 

 after being properly framed will he hung in a prominant place 

 for the edification of our visitors,
