 all that could be desired, with very lit 1« wind. The birds were 

 a very fair lot pnd took flight w'thout much scaring. L. C. Gehe- 

 rlng. referee; P. J. K enan, scorer. Mr. Gehering is on improve- 

 ment on the average referee, at least at our shoots, as he was 

 calm and deliberate and made haste slowly, and would not back 

 down from an v decision once made. L. C. Gehering and Col. 

 John H. Voss shoot lrom the 33-yird mark as punishment for 

 having won a fir-t prize to keep. Dr. Hudson and Mr. R. Regan 

 must h . ve had then- shooting clothes on, as thev cam.- near mak-

 have ea' h won the second prize for the seend tinv. got badly

 Dr Vand. grift, and Mr. Howard went lionv before the termina- 

 tion of the shoot and i aerefoy lost their chance of shooUng off for 

 third pHze, which went to P. J. Brennan. The Washington

 Nov. 5, and quite a crowd is expected; also every Saturday until 

 further notice. Lunch served on the grounds. Pin.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 27.— The first of the series of winter one-day 

 live-pigeon sho -Mug tournaments, under the management of 

 Mes'i's. Al. Bundle and A. C. Dick, was shot on the grounds of the 

 East End Gun Club, Columoia four mOes ea-t of this city, Thurs- 

 day last. I r proved a very enjoyable affair, the weather being of 

 the finest possibla kind, and the birds used a very choice and 

 Select lot, duffers being in the minority, and the shooting of the 

 best. From a strictly financial standpoint to the shooters preseut 

 in competition, the day's sport was a failure, t o many good shots 

 presenting themselves to catch on am heavy paying purses, the 

 tie shooting eating up the profits. Bandle shot in wonderful 

 form, missing but one bird in tne entire day's spnr\ and realizing 

 for his meritable work the magnificent sum of $3.75. The at teud- 

 ancf of spectators was large, aud the scouls outnumbered the 

 acual competitors five to one; in fact, proved a veritable nui — 

 ance. Five ground sc^op traps were used in springing Lhe birds, 

 winch accounts for the number of birds run off in so short a time. 

 All shooting was from ground traps set equal distance (5'ols.) 

 spitrt, use of both barrels allowed, the rise Heine 28 for 12 and 

 30y's. for 10-gauge gun-, purses divided into 60 and 40 per cent.:

CHARTER OAK PARK.-Hartford,Conn„ Oct. 24.— The second 

 tournament bv ihe Connecticut Shooting Association, at Charter 

 Oak Park, to-day, was a notable success, everything considered. 

 The day was cold and raw, and the trap-shooting season past.s o 

 that the number present and 1 he interest taken shows that the 

 tournament was a, perfect success. Six thousand pigeons were 

 thrown, aud all the events were well filled. So well pleaded was 

 the large delegation from New Haven, that. President, Bristol, of 

 the New Haven Gun Club, arranged with the officers of the Asso- 

 ciation to give a shoot at New Haven, on Thank8gi%ing Day. 

 Shooting commenced at 9:30 A M., and ended at 5 P. M„ darkness 

 then preventing further shooting. Notable among the absentees 

 were Yerrington and Manley. Perhaps the "'State champion" 

 ra.-e.frightened tliem off. New Haven s nt thirteen good men, 

 and they all did fine woik. The cold, a brisk wind and traps set

 sh is who participated in tin c .mpeiition came anywhere near 

 his real form, and that gentlem-m was Mr. C. H. Himbell, the 

 winner of the principal '■ompetitiou of thed.iv. The great match 

 at 25 live birds which was announced t" be d-cided betwe. n 

 Walter D. Gilman and Mr. Groin Man of Brooklyn proved to be 

 a grand fizzle, as the latter gentleman did not put m an appear- 

 ance, and the referee, Mr. HopKi'is. t'e ided th it, under the rules, 

 if Mr. Gilman went 10 tne traps and shot at one bird he would be 

 comply ing with the conditions of the m ..tch, and iha^, he would 

 award the contest to Mr. Gilman if, after waiting a, reasonable 

 time for Mr. Cromelian to app j'ir and ibat geatlem n tailed to 

 come to time, the former faced the traps and shot at one bird, 

 thus establishing the fa> t that he was on band ami ready -nd 

 willing to deMie the event. Aftt r me regular sh 101 Cot tae club 

 medal was decided Mr. 'rilman walkel to Che traps and called 

 •'Pull!" to Trapper William Mil, aid the bird, a large one, 

 which was a quarter to the right, rose in th' 1 air and was 1mme- 

 d at d> bowled over, upon wbi'-h the referee immedi a telv awarded 

 the match to .Mr. Gilman by the seor* of 1 bird killed to 0. Some
