prevent Dr. Carver from completing his task by attaching his 

 guns on an alleged claim of $87. Mayor Ames became responsi- 

 ble for tbe guns and the snooting was continued. Fully one 

 thousand people were present. 



At half-past 9 to-night the score was 57,100 shots and 605 misses. 

 The marksman was in better condition than at any time during 

 the day, and bets of 5 to 1 that he would win could find no takers. 



Dec. SO.— Dr. Carver finished his task of breaking 60,000 balls in 

 six days with single bullets at twentv-fivo minutes of 3 o'clock 

 this morning. He missed only 650 balls, and made these up be- 

 fore stopping. He was given several hypodermic injections of 

 morphine yesterday to still the terrible paiu which his wrist 

 gave him. 



The Doctor was completely exhausted when he finished, and 

 was put to bed at once. To-day the services of a physician were 

 necessary for his swollen wrist, and it will be several days before 

 he is restored to his normal condition.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS CLUB.— Christmas was thoroughly 

 enjoyed by the Washington Heights Gun Club at Saul's Fort 

 Washington Hotel, New York city. Double shooting matches 

 were made up. The most interesting feature of the day was the 

 work of a prize winner setter, the property of the Washington 

 Heights Kennel Club. She and three of ner 5-months old pups 

 were allowed to retrieve the birds, and the youngsters acted like 

 old dogs. They were photographed in action. In the 10 birds, 

 30yds. rise gold medal contest, Mr. W. B. Peet killed 8 birds, win- 

 ning the prize. Messrs. Greloch, Davidson and Helmbold wore 

 tied on 7 birds.

THE CARTERET CUP —The pigeon shoot for teams of four 

 held by the Carteret Gun Club at its grounds near Bergen Point, 

 N. J., yesterday, was a success in everything except weather. It 

 was showery all day. especially in the afternoon, when the fourth 

 men— the cracks— of each of the teams were shooting. The light 

 was also very bad in the afternoon, but as there was no wind the 

 rain and bad light was neutralized. Of the seven clubs invited to 

 meet the Carteret's team, five responded, viz.: Philadelphia and 

 Riverton, of Philadelphia; Country, Tuxedo and the Kennel club's, 

 of New York. The conditions were that the Carteret Club should 

 give a silver cup of ihe value of $500, for which toams of four men 

 from each club should shoot at 20 birds, 30yds. rise, 50yds. bound- 

 ary, each team to pay $50 entrance. The shooting, which was 

 fairly good, began at 11:05 A. M., with C. H. Arnold^ of tho New 

 York Stock Exchange, as referee, and the veteran "Krik" as offi- 

 cial scorer. In the little betting done the Carteret had the call. 

 With the Country Club team nexl. The Carteret team proved 

 much the stronger, having Mr. Gladwin to lead, who killed 18. 

 Mr. O. Thome was second man, but did badly, onlv killing 14, 

 after which Mr. C. Floyd Joues and Dr. G. Knapp came, and as 

 they killed 19 each the total for the team was 70 killed, of which 69 

 fell dead malao of 21yds. and one inside of 50vds.

Owing to some delay in receiving the invitatiou the Rivertons 

 could not, get their regular team together, but some of the young 

 members decided to come, and it was prac tically a team of colts. 

 All but, Mr. Chew did well, especially Yale Dolan, who, with age 

 and experience, will make a great shot. In fact, the Rivertons 

 look upon him as the coming '"crack." The team killed 65, all of 

 which fell inside of 21yds. Score:

Among those who thronged the balcony of the handsome club 

 house and watched the contestants in the drizzling rain were 

 Treasurer J. B. Metcalf of the Carteret Club, W. H. Sands, S. S. 

 Sands, George Do Forest Grant, R. C. D. La Montague, Marvin 

 Storey, Chauncey Devin, Adolph Dubarry, N. Thorne and H. G. 

 Crickmore. A. C. Arnold was referee. 



The cup, which was made specially for the occasion by Tiffany, 

 is a very handsome one, but, although exhibited, was unfinished. 

 It is a silver loving-cup two feet high, with pigeons in flight for 

 handles on either side. It bears the inscription "Carteret Gun 

 Club Trophy." The retrieving, which was very badly done, was 

 with the dogs Ralph, Phil and Joe. They acted as if they had 

 been worked too hard. A diverting incident occurred. Oakley 

 Thome's white pointer Joe picked up one bird that he was sent 

 after and carried it in far enough to be out of range. There he 

 waited until the next man had fired, watching the effect of the 

 shot as soberly as a judge until the bird dropped and became 

 quiet. Then he trotted out and picked it up. carrying both prizes 

 at onco to the bag. The. birds were an excellent lot, nearly all 

 dark blue or siate color. Time of shoot, 5h. 10m.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 25.— To-day's excellent weather was 

 thoroughly enjoyed by the Herron Hill Gun Club members. It is 

 a long time since there was such exciting shooting contests as 

 those participated in during the day by the cracks of tho club. 

 There were several matches and sweepstakes, but the principal 

 was the big shoot, at 100 bluerocks for a sweepstake of $10 eaeh. 

 This was indeed the great shooting event of the season, and be- 

 tween 300 and 400 spectators were present to see it. Nine contest- 

 ants entered, and when the contest started excitement ran high. 

 Mr. McClure's friends were exceedingly confident of his success, 

 but he commenced very unsteadily and never appeared to be in 

 his best form. The winner turned up in Elmer E. Shaner, who 

 ran up the excellent score of 95 out of a possible 100. His victory 

 was, indeed, a popular one, as he is one of the most energetic, 

 obliging members of the club. His longest run without a miss 45. 

 Shooting of this kind places Mr. Shaner among the best ones. W. 

 J. McCrickart and T. F. Cummings tied for second prize, each 

 breaking 83 birds. Charles Richardson by patient work captured 

 third money by breaking 82, and McClure was fourth with 79. 

 Tbe National rules governed the contest. The judges were M. E. 

 Harrison and Samuel Shaner. Following were the scores:
