 another on the return of Davenport from Michigan. He has gone 

 to shoot at deer and other animals for a month.

 state Team League are away at game shooting, it has been decided 

 to postpone the last shoot of the I<eague until the last week in 

 November or the first in December. 



Sparrow shooting by the Italians is now rife around the farm- 

 houses around New Utrecht, Gravesend and Parkville. They get 

 a good price for the birds, selling them as reed birds in the 

 market. They have got the slaughter down to a fine point, killing 

 as many as forty or fifty at one shot, through trailing some oats 

 or wheat in a direct line for the sparrows to feed on.

TOROiSfTO, Nov. 4.— The Victoria Gun Club's annual pigeon 

 shoot was held tr-day at Mr. Davison's fjirm. There was a fair 

 turn out of twenty-one participants. The afternoon squads had 

 a decided advantage over the morning hoys, as the birds in the 

 fore part of the day were a particularly lively lot, many cfirrying 

 two charges away, only to drop stone dead just, outside the 

 hounds, while those in the afternoon mostly hugged the traps. 

 There were two classes, first and second. The shoot was divided 

 into two matches, fir.'>t at 10 birds, second at 5 birds. Members 

 winning prizes in the first match of either class were handicapped 

 4yda. when shooting in the second match, thus giving competitors 

 who had not taken a prize a chance to do so in the second match. 

 There were two special prizes. The first for the man who made 

 the highest score with single barj-el throughout tire match. This 

 was won by E. Manning, with H out of 15. The second was for 

 the man who made the lowest score in the match. This prize is 

 between Evans and Da^nson. Conditions, 36yds. rise to 10-gauge 

 guns, 24yds. to 12-gauge, first ban-el to count 1 bird, second barrel 

 to count >3 a bird, 100yds. boundary:

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 5.-There was not a particularly good 

 attendance at the regular shoot of the East End Gun Club thi« 

 afternoon in spite of the fact that it was an ideal day for outdoor 

 work. The traps worked to perfection and the scores were above 

 the aver.^ge for that reason. Prior to the regular club slioot 

 North and Wherry shot a match for 50 birds in which North gave 

 Wherry 4. It was not Nortli's day to win, or to be more accurate, 

 Wherry had one of his davs when he could not miss, and tied 

 North at 41 in the race for 50 without the handicap. Following 

 Ibis interesting match was the regular club shoot, in which 

 Wherry once again CRme to the front with a big score, and car- 

 ried off the cup. He was closely followed by North. The follow- 

 ing is the score: 



Murray 000111111100011111111111101011-32

 him to win. The following is the result of that shoot:

One of the inc'dents of the afternoon was the shooting ot a rab-

 trap platform. Bunny had been raised from his hiding place by a 

 dog and was converted into material for a rabbit pie.
