 zen Corps has desclded to hold its autumn shooting tournament 

 at Babylon, L. 1 in September. At the last tournament of the 

 club Capt. S. Wehriug, who, as is customary, fired the second 

 shot, in honor of the Governor of the State of New York, brought 

 down the very undemocratic crown which adorned the eagle's 

 head, a feat which has never been performed, during the thirty- 

 two years 1 existence of the corps. Secretary B. Kumm received 

 instructions to send the crown to Gov. D. B. Hill, and received in 

 tarn a letter from his Excellency expressing his pleasure and 

 appreciation of the kindly sentiments conveyed.

 at 200yds., was made to-day by Capt. Gray, of the Guards, who 

 scored 32, 31, 32 total 08— while practicing with several other

 Canadian-made ammunition used.

 rence^ The conditions were 100 blackbirds each. 50 singles and 25 

 pairs, 3 traps, American Shooting Association rules, ¥100 a side 

 and the suppers. A strong wind was blowing from the southwest 

 which made the shooting exceedingly difficult, especially on the 

 pairs, as the traps were throwing the birds from 60 to 70yds.

The shoot-off of tie on event No. 15 betweeu Pierson, Hathaway 

 and Post was ve T y exciting. Piersoo dropped out on second bird, 

 Hathaway and Post both missed their seventh bird, which was 

 sprung from No. 5 trap while the shooters faced No. 1 trap, on re- 

 peating the shot Hathaway got his eighth bird and Post lost. 

 Altogether we had one of the best shoots ever held on these 

 grounds and the boys propose turning out next Saturday for 

 more.— H, 



NORTH END VS. UNION.— On Saturday, Aug. 3 the Union 

 Gun Club, of Springfield, went down to Franki'ord j Pa., and shot 

 a team match with the North End Gun Club and were defeated 

 by the Frankford boys Hy a score of 187 to 199 out of a possible 250 

 Keystones. We left Elizabeth on the 9:05 A. M. train and ought 

 to have reached Frankford at 10:45, but owing to a hot box were 

 nearly half an hour late, not reaching there until 11:15. On get- 

 ting off the train we found the genial secretary of theiNorth End 

 Club on hand to meet ua, and just outside the depot railing W. 

 Wolstencroft and W. Pack mounted on their mustangs to pilot 

 US to the grounds. We climbed mto the two stages provided lot- 

 us, and in a very few m'nutes reached the grounds, where we 

 found some, of the boys practicing and seeing that everything 

 was in working order. It did not take many minutes to put the 

 guns together and get a sweepstakes under way. As soon as that 

 was finished another one was started, and it did not take very 

 long to shoot this out, although there were 15 entries. Just at 

 this time a heavy thunder shower came up, and as it rained in 

 torrents all hands stepp d inside the club house and discussed 

 the tine lunch served up for us by the caterer of the North Euders. 

 By the time lunch was finished it had stopped raining and the 

 main event of the day was started. Teams were divided iuto 

 squads of three. apt. Miller, of the Union team, having won 

 the toss, decided to go to the score first. Each man shot at 5 tar- 

 gets every time He went to the score, and s it was not long before 

 the first squad of each team had shot out their scores. Result, a 

 tie. Then the second squad was called, and everything went 

 nicely until after the first round, when a man appeared on the 

 scene and informed us that we must stop shooting there as two 

 people were lying at the point of death about half a mile away 

 aud the report ot the guns disturbed them. Of course the only 

 t hing to be done was to stop, and a consultation heing held between 

 the captains it was decided to adjourn to another ground which 

 we were informed was about ten minutes' walk from where we 

 were. Guns were put in cases and sh*- 11 cases picked up and the 

 start made, and we walked, and walked, and walked, and after 

 twenty minutes' pretty sharp work reached the cornfield where 

 the new ground was. Here we had to wait over an hour and a 

 half for the traps to be brought "only ten minutes' walk." At 

 last the traps arrived, were spiked down, and all was ready, but 

 nearly two hours had been wasted and it was decided to only 

 shoot at 25 Keystones per man, instead of 50, as origiually agreed 

 upon. Everything now being ready, the second squad continued 

 shooting their scores, and on being finished it was found that the 

 Uuion hoys were four ahead. Now it all lay with the third and 

 last squad to hold their end up and the match would be won for 

 the Unions, but. just here all signs failed, and Johnson, the leader 

 of the last squad, went all to pieces, closely followed by Sayre. 

 These two good men were only following the lead of Collins in 

 the squad before, but the result was disastrous for their team, as 

 it lost them the race, the North Enders gaining 10 on this squad, 

 and therefore winning the match by a handsome majority of 12. 

 Three cheers were given by vanquished and victors, and a 10-bird 

 sweep at once got under way. At 5:45 P. M. we started for the. 

 depot and left for home on the 6:19 train, having had a good day's 

 sport and a right royal good time, for which we thank our hosts, 

 the North End Gun Club, of Frankford. Another match will in 

 all probability take place on some neutral grounds, and then it is 

 to be hoped that our cracks will not all go to pieces. At any rate 

 may the best team win. Following are the scores and conditions: 

 Teams of 10 men each, each man to shoot at 50 Keystones (re- 

 duced to 25), thrown from 5 traps, American Association rules, 

 losers to pay for the birds:
