CLASS VS. THOMPSON.— Newark, Dec. ii.-The postponed 

 match between these two craok shots was fought to a conclusion 

 at Erb's Park to-day. The day broke anything but pleasant in its 

 weather. At dawn the rain was tailing fast, and it continued 

 until 10 o'clock, when a heavy shower passed over the shooting 

 grounds. This shower was accompanied by heavy thunder and 

 vivid lightning. At this season so unusual an occurrence occa- 

 sioned a good deal of comment. After the shower the wind came 

 out strong from the westward, blowing cold and in gnats. At one 

 time during the afternoon it amounted to a gale. This, of course, 

 helped the pigeons in their flight. As a whole, the birds were a 

 lot of raspers. Out of the 300 shot at but 5 refused a flight when 

 the traps were pulled. Class was shooting in magnificent form. 

 The last few birds were shot by him left-handed— that is, with 

 the gun from the left shoulder and trigger pulled with the left 

 hand. In celerity Class was at least 15 seconds quicker than his 

 antagonist in getting' on his birds, this making a terrible handi- 

 cap for a man to overcome, especially so when the birdB happen 

 to be of so good a quality. The match commenced promptly at 3 

 P. M. The men shot steadily until 3 o'clock, when a ten minutes' 

 rest was had. Class got a lead on the start, and gradually in- 

 creased that lead to the end. 



Match for $250 a side, 100 birds each man, loser to pay for the 

 pigeons, Hurlingham rules to govern:

oDead out of bounds. 



Each man bad a no bird on a misstire, and shot at another with 

 a blank shell in first barrel. Thompson's twenty-sixth was an 

 awfully hard hit bird, but recovered and got out of bounds. His 

 thirty-first was a right quartering rattler; he got on with both 

 barrels, but carried it out. His forty-third was knocked down, 

 but pulled himself together and went on his winning way. Class's 

 twenty-eighth bird was as hard as nails. He was well stopped, 

 fell, got up, fell again, rose and dropped once more and then was 

 over the fence and out. His thirty-ninth was a repetition of that 

 work. His sixty-fourth bird was hard hit. It flew to fence and 

 fell dead on the top rail. An outsider put his hand over the top 

 and gather* d the bird in. The eighty-fifth bird or Class's was the 

 best of the 200 shot at: he was .a hummer of a right-quarter er. 

 Quick as he was the shot was quicker. The bird fell 70yds. off 

 with both wings broken. 



First open sweep, 4 pigeons each man, S3 entrance, 3 moneys. 

 Hurlingham rules to govern: Erb, Remharnt and Castle 4 ana 

 dividedT first. Class and Thompson 3 and also divided. 



Second event: Erb, Reinnardt and Class 4 and divided, Thomp- 

 got second with 3. 



Third event, Castle, Class and Thompson each got ■» and shot 

 the tie off. Castle. dropped out on his fifth bird. Thompson and 

 Class killed theirs and divided. Second money was captured by 

 Collins and Reinnardt and divided. 



Fourth event, miss and out, $1 entrance: Manitz, Geoffrey, Erb, 

 Castle and Reiuhardt slipped up and were out on their second 

 shot, Collins on his fourth, and thus Bakew and Hedden divided 

 the pot. 



TORONTO, Dec. 21.— A number of West End gun enthusiasts 

 gathered to-night at McC ready's sporting store. Queen street 

 west, for the purpose of reorganizing tbe old West End Gun Club. 

 The meeting was well attended, and a rousing one it was. The 

 new club will be known as the West Toronto Gun, Dogs, Sports, 

 and Angling Club. The officers elected are a good set of men, of 

 the pusher class, and are as follows: President, Ex- Aid. George 

 Evans; Vice-President Mr. D. Beatty; Secretary, Mr. R. A Mc- 

 Cready; Treasurer, Mr. F. Habart. The club prides itself on 

 having secured the. services of Mr. Evans as presidents, as no 

 effort will be spared on his part to make it a big success. About 

 25 names are already on the list, which looks fair for the start. 



BROOKLYN, Dec. 26— The final shoot of the last half year was 

 held by the Diana Sportsman's Club, at Bay View Park, South 

 Brooklyn, to-day, the shoot having been postponed on account of 

 the holidays from last Tuesday by order of the president. The 

 members try their skill at glass halls as well as at bluerocks. and 

 are divided into two classes, so that the less experienced shooters 

 also have a chance of winning a prize. In the bluerock shooting 

 the shooter winning the medal the greatest number of times dur- 

 ing the six months is declared the winner, while in the contests 

 at glass balls the member breaking tbe largest aggregate cap- 

 tures the prize. M. Winchester carried off the honor in the first 

 class, and also winning the gold medal for bluerock shooting with 

 three shoots, in August, November and December. In the second 

 class. C. Medler won the silver medal with a total of 16 glass 

 balls broken. The gold medal went to C. Ring, who won the blue- 

 rock shoots in July, October and November. Thursday's results

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 8L— The much-talked of and long-ex- 

 pected match shoot between Dayton and Cleveland shooters came 

 off yesterday with Cleveland on the top of the heap. The Cuya- 

 hoga county shooters won the match, but by a majority of six 

 birds only. The race was almost too close for comfort. The 

 Cleveland shooters and Rolla Heikes, who represented the Dayton 

 Club in the city, shot on the grounds of the East End Gun Club. 

 The day was perfect for shooting and the traps worked perfect lv. 

 The scores though high are not so nigh as were made in former 

 practice shoots. Two of the East End s best men did not arrive 

 until after the shooting commenced aud this fact cut down the 

 majority for the Cleveland team. In Dayton, too. every con- 

 dition was favorable for good scares but, for some reason, the 

 Daytonites did not do as well as was expected. This can be 

 accounted for by the fact that the Dayton club in Its practice shoot 

 hns set its traps to throw a slow-flying, lazy bird, only one trap 

 throwing the bird as far as prescribed in the association rules. 

 The full scores of the Dayton and Cleveland shooters follow: 

 The Cleveland Scores.

BROOKLYN, Dec, 37— The Crescent Glee Club held its regular 

 monthly shoot at the Dexter Park to-day. Although the wind

 A- Ruble, of Beliot, Wis., shot a match here to-day for $100 a 

 side. The former conceded Ruble 25 dead birds. Each used a 

 12-gauge gun, at 28yds. A. poor lot of bird-< and a strong wind 

 across the traps made the birds very slow. This is the first match 

 Ruble had shot, and some of the boys th night he showed a little 

 lack of nerve. Mr. O. W. Budd, of De* Moines. Iowa, acted 

 as referee. Under the rules of the A. S. A . the score stood:

 Hopkius & Brothers and which for many years conducted a large 

 wholesale grocery business. The firm used to handle quantities 

 of shot, and in this way he became interested in the Merchants' 

 Shot Tower Company, which owns the mass of bricks, 234 feet 

 high, at the corner of Front and Fayette streets. He was elected 

 president of the company some years before his retirement from 

 the grocery business, and continued to occupy the position for 

 about thirty yeirs. He became very well known to merchants in 

 Maryland and the South, where most of the shot made at the 

 tower was sold. In 1878 the old machinery inside the tower 

 caught fire and transformed the structure into a huge blazing 

 torch, which was watched by a great crowd of curious persons. 

 The machinery was entirely burned out, and, under Mr. Harvey's 

 superintendence, was replaced with that made after the latest 

 and most improved models. The tower was built in 1828 by the 

 old Phoenix Shot Company, whose uaine was afterward changed 

 to the Merchants'. Its remarkable height aud round shape, slop- 

 ing slightly from the bottom, have mane it one of the conspicuous 

 objects familiar to all Baltimoreans. The first shot tower in the 

 city was built five years before the Merchants', on North Gay 

 street, above Fayette, under the direction of Colonel Joseph 

 Jamison, but was taken down in 1815. It was 187 feet high. An- 

 other tower, on South Eutaw street, was removed in 1851, and the 

 bricks were used in building live warehouse 3. Tae tower still 

 standing is forty feet in diamater at the bottom and twenty feet 

 at the top. The brick woru, which commences at the surface, is 

 four and a half feet thick from tne ground up to a height of 

 about fifty feet, when it. diminishes four inches in each story. 

 The parapet, which crowns the summit is three feet high. The 

 tower is used for dropping shot in the process of manufacture.

HULL Y. G. 



T\HF Hull Y. C. has at last resolved to build a club house suit- 

 -L able to its wants, and the money has been raised, the ground 

 purchased, and the plans prepared for a very complete and elab- 

 orate house. The new site is on the Moody Merrill and Tower 

 properties, lately purchased by the cluh, near the present house. 



The club house proper will measure 50ft. on its front or water 

 side, and 55ft. in depth. There will bo a piazza on three sides of 

 the two upper stories, and possibly the upppr one will be contin- 

 ued on the land side. The house will be set in the midst of a plat- 

 form having a frontage of 100ft. and depth of 81ft. The platform 

 will be surrounded on three sides by a sea wall. The house wall 

 rest on foundations which are entirely separate from the sea 

 wall, and will go down below the beach level. There will be a 

 space of at least 15ft. between t he wall and the piazzas, wnich 

 will be used as a garden. The upper or hall floor will be 

 reached from the street by a bridge, which will lead to the piazza 

 and a lobby at tbe northeasterly corner of the house from which 

 a door will lead into the hall, which is somewhat lareer than the 

 present, ball in the house on the Hull pier, being 39x 49f t. Ample 

 doors will open upon the piazza, and will be so arranged that they 

 can, upon the o> casion of receptions and aances, be thrown up 

 and out of the way, making the piazzas, which will be ab jut 10ft. 

 wide, practically a part of the hall. A retiring and toilet room 

 for ladies leads off of the corner opposite the lobby. There is 

 also asmall room between the lobby and the stage connected 

 with the ladies' retiring room by a passage behind the stage. The 

 stage itself will be 24x10ft., and with tne rooms and passage 

 will give ample facilities tor the production of entertainments. 

 Leading from the loboy a flight of stairs will take one to a small 

 hall on the next story, and continuing straight on one goes down 

 still further to the platform. From this hall on the left a mem- 

 ber's door will lead into an inner hall 8ft. wide and about 35ft. 

 long. 



On the right side of this hall will be the billiard room, 40x23. 

 accommodating three tables, having a toilet room leading from 

 it in the corner. Beyond the billiard room and ovtrlooking tbe 

 bay is ihe card room, 10x15ft., and a smoking room, which is also 

 a continuation of the hallway, about 12x 16ft. This latter has an 

 opeu fireplace and will oe a most cheerful place. Next to This 

 room auo in the southeast corner of the house is the reading room. 

 15x17ft., which with the dining room, which comes next, has an 

 opeu fireplace. The dining room is 17X20ft., having a butler's 

 pantry off from it of 7x16ft. A cook room uuder the upper stairs 

 8x11ft., completes the arrangements of this floor. From the loog 

 hall stairs lead to what might properly be caUed the mezzanine 

 floor, as while there are two floors below the lower piazza, the 

 architecture so makes it that the house appears to be but three 

 stories. The stairs bring one to a gallery, from which you look 

 down on to the ground floor. Leading trom this gallerv are a 

 kitchen and pantry immediately under the butler's pantry and 

 coat room, a janitor's room and about 30 lockers from 3 to 4ft. 

 wide and 7ft. deep. Two flights of steps lead from the gallery to 

 the floor, and here are a storage room 6x14ft., a bath with shower 

 and tub, a toilet room, a waiting room for crews and about 25 

 lockers similar to those on the gallery floor. On the west side, 

 and taking the height of both locker floors, is the bowling alley. 

 The alley is 73ft. long and has two alleys. Stairways will lead 

 from the lower piazza to the platform. 



The Merrill cottage, near by, will be fitted up with sleeping 

 rooms for members, and if the experiment proves successful, 

 permanent dormitories will be built next year.
