CHICAGO. July 27.— The Government Pier shoot is held upon 

 the breakwater which protects the Chicago harbor. It can only 

 be reached by boat, and is over a mile from shore, where the 

 water is over Soft . deep. Still the attendance is good, three after- 

 noons every week, as the shoot is open to all. Is there any town 

 or city where there is more interest taken in trap-shooting? Re- 

 cent scores are a s follows: July 23, open to all, Keystone targets,

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 1.— About 200 trap-shooting enthusiasts 

 went to Compton Aveuue Park yesterday, and were regaled with 

 one of the prettiest shooting: matches it lias been their lot to wit- 

 ness for many a day. J. L. Winston Killed 98 live birds out of 100, 

 while his opponent J. E. Hagerly scored but 80. They were a good 

 lot, and some might be classed as "corkers/ 1 It was a most in- 

 teresting affair, and some money changed hands on the result. 

 Match at 100 live pigeons for $100 n side. Hurlingham rules, except 

 that Hagerty used a 10-gauge gun; 50yds.:

Jule Sieminskie, after some little coaxing by his friends, con- 

 sented to meet J. L. Winston in a match at the trap for $100, each 

 to shoot at 100 Champion clay birds, but if he had ever pos- 

 sessed impressions that he was a world-beater, they have, now 

 that the affair is over, been knocked into a cocked hat. Both 

 scores are poor. A strong wind from the south, which blew di- 

 rectly from the shooter, made the targets fly irregular, and is 

 principally t"ie cause of the low scores. American Shooting As- 

 sociation rules, with 5 traps:

CINCINNATI, July 39.— From the opening until the close of 

 to-day's pigeon match between Joe H. and Wick on the old Ave- 

 nue Ball Park a constant rain fell, and in the first half of the 

 shooting it did not rain, bat poured, the referee, however, com- 

 pelling both contestants to proceed with the match, which they 

 did. the result being a thorough wetting and more trouble in 

 handling wet guns, which explains the poor scores made. At the 

 finish of the first half of the match (singles) Jce H. led his oppo- 

 nent 8 birds, and he was naturally looked upon as a sure winner. 

 The score stood:

PETERS CARTRIDOE TROPHY. 



To be shot for at the Corry Tournament, August 20. 



BREWER VS. WOLSTENCROFT.-A match has been made 

 between John L. Brewer, the celebrated American trap-shot, and 

 Wm. H. Wolstencroft, who is acknowledged to be one of the best 

 trap-shots in A aierica. Wolstencroft is the crack shot of the 

 North End Gun Club, and believed to be the equal of any man in 

 America at inanimate targets. For some time he has been prac- 

 ticing at live pigeons, and in a recent argument the point was 

 raised that he didn't dare to face Brewer at the trap. Wolsten- 

 croft's friends declared that they were willing to have him meet 

 Brewer, provided the latter would concede some handicap in 

 rise. Brewer agreed to concede 2yds., if the match was shot 

 under London Gun Club rules, at 100 live pigeons each. The 

 match was immediately made, and $100 put up on each side to 

 make it binding. Brewer wanted to shoot within three days, 

 but Wolstoncroft's backers demurred, and Aug. 8 was finally 

 agreed upon. The articles of agreement were thereupon drawn 

 up. It is stipulated that each contestant shall shoot at 100 live 

 pigeons, to be trapped out of the same hamper; 12-gauge guns, 

 81bs. or under, London Gun Club rules, Brewer to soncede a han- 

 dicap of 2yds. rise, standing at 30yds., while Wolstencroft stands 

 at 28yds., to be shot at Gloucester Baseball Grounds on Thursday, 

 Aug. 8, rain or sbine, play or pay, and the gun editor of the Phila- 

 delphia If em to act as final stakeholder, and also to officiate as 

 referee; the first gun to be fired promptly at 3 P. M. The London 

 Gun Club rules allow the shooter to hold tne gun in any way 

 desired after "Pull" has been called, otherwise they are similar 

 to Hurlingham rules. 



WATSON'S PARK, Grand Crossing, HI., Aug. 3.— Match be-

BROOKLYN, July 31.— The Glenmore Rod and Gun Club had a 

 prize shooting match at Dexter Park to-day T . In shooting for the 

 club's diamond badge there were four ties. Wm. Levens won the 

 badge in the shoot-off by killing 6 straight. The prizes in classes 

 B and C consisted of handsome pieces of silverware. Mr. C. M. 

 McGee won the prize in class B, and R. Max won the prize in 

 class C. In the sweepstakes Mr. A. Bothy was first and Mr. 

 Levens second. Mr. A. G. Duryea was scorer. 



Every week we are obliged to defer to the next

 quested that scores be sent us as early as possible.

QUAKER CITY Y. C. CORINTHIAN RACE. 



ONLY twelve yachts put in an appearance on July 27 at the 

 first gun was fired to start the second Corinl Man race of the 

 Quaker City Y. C. 



The wind was blowing from the northeast with heavy rain, but 

 at the time the race started, 2:10 P. M., it died away into gentle 

 zephyrs and at times was a dead calm. 



The race was open to yachts belonging to the Trenton and Iliv- 

 erton yacht clubs, governed by the rules of the Quaker City. 

 There was no time allowance and no time limit to the race. The 

 course was as follows: Starting across an imaginary line between 

 the committee's boat and the pier at Rivcrton, to aud around a 

 station boat off the pier at Delanco, keeping it on the pott; thence 

 to and around a station boat off Bndobuig, keeping it on the 

 starboard; thence to point of starting, finishing across an imagin- 

 ary line and the committee's boat and pier, keeping to the east 

 ward ot Hen and Chickens both wavs. 



The distance was ten milt 8, and the wind was so light that only 

 two boats finished, the Osceoia and Mohican. The schooners Helen 

 and Flossie concluded not to start, as the channel was very nar- 

 row for such large yachts and the wind almost too light. The 

 boats were classified as follows: 



Sloops. Cutters and Yawls. - First class, Over 38ft. l.w.l .; second 

 class, 32ft, and less than 88ft; third class, 20ft. and less than 32ft.; 

 fourth class, less than 26ft. 



Open Yachts— Cats.— Class A. 26ft, and over; Class B, 20ft. and 

 less than 26ft.; Class C, less than 20ft. 



The following yachts started: Sloops, Q. C. Y. C, O-ceola and 

 Agnes; cutter, Nannie: cats. Mohican, Coronet, George de B. 

 Keim. Riverton Y. C, Josephine, Nettle, Olga and Curlew. 



At 3:40 P.M. the Osceola crossed the line clc sely fol »o ived by the 

 Agnes and Nannie. Five minutes later a second gun started the 

 cat boats, and the Mohican faking the lead soon foiged to second 

 place, following the Osceola wfio was now well m the lead. The 

 tide was flood, but before half the fleet had rounded cue stake- 

 boat at Delanco ebb tide set in and with the light air the lag- 

 gards had a hard time to round. The Osceola gradually increased 

 her lead and was soon a mile and a half a lead of the Mohican 

 who lead the Coronet, tue rest straggling behind. The tide with 

 a little wind carried the boats flown the river pietty fast, and the 

 Osceola, rounding the stake at Brides burg, commenced to buck 

 the t'de which was very strong and there was scarcely enough 

 wind to give steerage way. She finally got a slant and crosstd 

 the line far in advance of the other boats in the race. 



The Mohican, with Coronet in the meantime had rounded the 

 stakeboat and Hauled sheets aft for home but the wind dying out 

 she, with the Coronet, Nettle and Keim was forced to come to 

 an anchor until flood tide. The Mohican did not finish until 10:20 

 in the evening, and therefore wins first prize in class A of the cat- 

 boats. Altogether the race was very unsatisfactory. The yachts 

 were restricted to the following sails: Sloops and yawls, "main- 

 sail, forestaysail, jib, jibtopsail, gafftopsa I and spinaker. Open 

 yachts to mainsail. The following is a summary of the race:

 class, also the "Riverton Prize," donated by the Riverton Y. C„ 

 open to competition by the yachts of the Quaker City Club only, 

 which was awarded to the yacht making the fastest actual time 

 over the courst, irrespective of class. Personal prizes will also 

 be given to members of the winning crews. Mohican takes first 

 prize in her class, also individual prizes. Judges: Addison F. 

 Bancroft, Charles L. Wilson, Newkirk N. Wcntz.
