[July is, 1899. 
The SherBrooke Totitnament. 
The Dominion Day shoot at Sherbrooke, July 1, wits loHi en- 
joyable one to some tliirty-iive who took part. 
Several tournaments lately held across the line, aftd others 
coming in the near fviture, ' interfered with the attendance in a 
marked degree. However, those who came say they don't regret 
missing the others, as everything is always so pleasant at Sher- 
brooke. 
The programme was begun sharp on tinie at 8 A. M. The 
merchandise match was a great attraction; so much so that, as 
will be seen by the scores in the regular events, shooters were 
often waiting for a chance to get a "12 straight" instead of being 
on hand for the regular matches. No less than 204 entries and 
re-entries were made during the day. 
There were eighteen prizes, from $16 in value down to ?1, and 
only about thirty-five people to divide thera^ among. Straight 
12s were hard to get during the forenoon. Shortljr after noon 
Barrett, of Montpelier, did it, and that stimulated things. Oddly 
enough, his fellow townsman, G. B. Walton, was the , next to 
get a straight, but as the wind and sun got lower the number 
of straights increased. 
Of professional shooters — that particularly welcome . class which 
is composed of the nicest fellows one could wish to meet— there 
were only three: B. H. Norton, of New York, representing 
the Hazard Powder Co., and Messrs. Dickson, and Gallagher, of 
the Robin Hood Powder Co. Mr. Norton has always been a 
welcome visitor, and the club hopes the merry .men from Winni- 
peg win also come again. 
A pleasant interruption occurred during the forenoon. Two 
deei', full-gi'own, handsome creatures, came trotting across the 
hill scarce 600yds. away. The shooting stopped, and the crowd 
stood in amazement, looking at the beautiful sight. The deer 
looked across the river for a few moments, and_ then wheeled, 
and half-trotting, half-loping^ disappeared over the hill from whence 
they came. Then the visitors made use of expressions which 
must have caused the bosoms of the good sportsmen of Sherbrooke 
to swell with pride. Only in localities where the game laws are 
- held in holy reverence are such sights to be seen. The visitors 
were assured that it was not at all uncommon to see deer within 
the limits of this city of 12,000 inhabitants. 
The scores in the regular events arc given below. Besides those 
naiped, a large number shot in only two or three events, while 
several devoted their energies and powder entirely to the mer- 
chandise tr^p.s:

The individual trophy match for the Quebec cup was shot 
under very hard conditions. The hour was 1 P. M.; the sun, in 
its usual position at that time, was unusually bright and hot, and 
a strong wind at the back of the shooters made the targets fly 
fast and far: 
20 known. 20 unknown. 5 pairs. Total. 
Goodhue .15 14 4 33 
Cameron 17 12 5 34 
Goodhue's gun failed him, one of the triggers suddenly going 
wrong, and later in the day compelling him to retire. The scores 
are the lowest in the history of the cup, but the match was inter- 
esting, the scores at no time varying more than 2 birds. Cameron 
is noted for being a -hard man to beat, be the scores high or low. 
The expected team match did not come off, owing to the much, 
regretted absence of Ottawa. A little three-men aflfair with 
Montreal, Westmont and Sherbrooke in it, was won by Sher- 
brooke. 
The merchandise prizes went to the followmg, m the order 
named: C. O. Barrett, Geo. B. Walton, W. L. Cameron, A. W. 
Westover, C. Aubin, straights; followed by C. D. White, T. M. 
Craig, C. G. Thompson, N. G. Bray, A. W. Moreau, W. B. Neil, 
H. Hibbard, R. Lewis, E. C. Eaton, j. B. Goodhue, W. E. Loomis, 
Vincent, B. H. Norton, Galbraith, Williams. 
The weather was fine— Sherbrooke always has fine weather on 
tournament days. But it was a hard day to shoot. No extra fine 
shooting was done. Better can be seen at almost any practice; 
but the interest kept up throughout the day, and all enjoyed them- 
selves 
The' ladies were out in. agreeable numbers ; not so many as to 
rattle the timid ones, but just enought to look nice and be so. 
The club extends hearty congratulations to all winners and 
cheerful sympathy to every loser, and hopes all will come again 
and bring their friends. 
The Fouftii at Sheldon, 
Sheldon, Vt., July 6. — Among those who assembled at Sheldon 
Junction, Vt., July 4, to compete for the N. P. L. Co.'s cup, and 
to participate in several other trap-shooting events, were: R. B. 
Hutcheson, President of the Montreal Gun Club, Montreal, One.; 
C. O. Barrett, Montpelier, Vt.; B. H. Norton, New York, etc. 
The arrangement of the traps was a puzzler to the local shooters, 
though everything passed off pleasantly, with a single exception: 
that of the bursting of Mr. Selby's new gun, which fortunately 
did not injure either Selby or others of the squad who were 
near by when the accident occurred. Below we give the scores:

Brockton Gun Club. 
Brockton, July 1.— Herewith find scores of to-day's shoot over 
our new magatitrap. It was a success in every way. Leroy s 
work was a pleasing feature. He only missed two of the 100 shot 
at His eye finds them, and the Remington does the rest. Vis- 
itors from . Flaverhill, Hingham, Wollaston, South Weymouth, 
North Easton, Stoughton and Rockland all did good work. 
Miskay and Horace, of Boston, shot well. Friend Miller, of 
Haverhill, thought it dead easy over the new trap. One man, 
"who was an onlooker," wanted to look mto the muzzle of the 
trap to see a bird come out. Oh, my! 
Our next shoot will be July 15.

Made While You Wait, 
In "Our Dumb Animals." May number, is an article on "Pigeon 
Shooting from Traps" which sets forth the following: _ 
"In view of the great pigeon-shooting matches recently in New 
Jersey, near New York, we publish the following: 
" Chas. Green recently shot a pigeon that had escaped from a 
pigeon-shooting match without being shot, with nine pins stuck 
in various parts of its body. The heartlessness of pigeon-shooting 
sport can be better realized when it is known that at shooting 
matches pins are stuck in various parts of the bird s body and m 
the bottom of its feet and up its legs the entire length of the pm. 
By this method the pigeon is so tortured that it will fly rapidly 
from the trap when freed. If they escape, as a number of them do,, 
they do not live more than a month at the farthest; the pinsj 
shrivel their legs and cause them constant suffering until . death 
comes to their relief. Another method of torture which is fre- 
quently used in addition to the pins is to cut the bird s toes off. 
pull their feathers out, and bite the bird's neck enough to hurt it 
severely.— Elmer (N. J.) Times. ' '/ 
Nothing could be more mahciously false than the foregoing. 
Nothing could have more intangible grounds on which to makfi 
such a sweeping charge. The rules of all reputable clubs, and the 
sentiments and acts of all reputable pigeon-shooters, are emphatic^ 
ally against all acts of cruelty, the findings of one Charles Green 
to the contrary notwithstanding, backed by equally intangible as. 
sertion The gentlemen whose names are to be found m the list 
of trap-shooters of America are not to be taught humanity Ijy anj 
suburban amateur newspaper writers. The foregoing charge savors 
too mttch of making a case against good men while you wait.

Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass., July 7.— The close proximity of a holiday 
seems but to augment the Boston Gun Club crowd, and July 5 was 
no exception. A very pleasant gathering made the most of a very 
hot afternoon, but Wellington was cooler than most places, so the 
usual events wore discussed with but little delay Mr. E C. lerrn 
day of the Laflin & Rand Powder Co., New York, paid the club 
a visit, accompanied by Mr. Leavens, of the home office. 
Mr. Leroy, of Du Pont fame, thought the targets small at 21ycls. 
in the first seven events, so he tried the last four at 16, with the 
result of averaging exactlv the same at both distances, in the 
novelty event, from no yards rise, Leroy and Howard monopohzed 
the honors, with 100 per cent. Horace grasped the first score m 
prize match, with targets to spare. Other scores below:
