Oakland, Md , Sept. 29.— An immense flock of wild pigeons, so 
large as to cast a shadow on the earth, passed over Mountain Lake 
Park, Garrett county, this week. These were the first seen in that 
section since twenty years ago, in a year when thousands of the 
birds perished in a storm over the Great Lakes.— Baltimore Sun 
The Clubs of Chicago. 
Chicago, 111., Jan. 6.— Garfield Gun Club, of this city, held an 
all-day shoot at live birds on New Year's Day, scores of which are 
late at hand. Over 500 birds were shot, and the day was passed 
most pleasantly, as is the custom at that old reliable club. 
J. M. Gillis won the diamond medal in the contest for the 
Chicago sportsmen's trophy yesterday, thus bringing in a new win- 
ner for that interesting series. Mr. GilHs is a Garden City Gun 
Club member. His runner-up was Uncle Silas Palmer, who made 
Mr. Gillis kill 49 out of 50 before a finish could be declared. Mr. 
Palmer killed 48, running 34 straight. This is good warm shooting. 
Garden City Gun Club holds its annual meeting to-night at the 
Sherman House, for election of officers and transaction of other 
business. 
Eureka Gun Club holds its regular semi-monthly shoot at Wat- 
son's to-day- 
Hickory Hill Gun Club, whose grounds are on Ackerman's farm, 
at Glen Ellyn, will, with Silas Palmer as host, entertain a number 
of Chicago shooters at a hot little live-bird rally Jan. 20. Among 
others who will be present are Messrs. Kuss, Shaw, Hicks and 
Meek, of Garfield Club; Amberg, Rice, Hollister and Von Len- 
gerke, of Eureka Club ; Leffingwell, White, etc. The birds at Si 
Palmer's little annual are reputed to be extra hard to stop, and 
the event has a certain local significance.

John D. Beedan. 
Reading, Pa., Jan. 1.— The two days' shoot that opened to-day 
at the Three-Mile House shooting grounds, near this city, was a 
grand success. The cold weather kept many shooters away; but 
those who were present were greatly hindered by the high wind, 
and good scores were out of the question. At 2 P. M. it was zero, 
and when John Shaaber and Nat Benner came out to shoot their 
target match for the championship of Berks county the wind was 
blowing like a hurricane, making the targets take an unsteady 
course. Arthur A. Fink, of this city, managed the shoot and also 
acted as referee in the Shaaber-Benner match. 
The score of the Benner-Shaaber match follows: 
John Shaaber, of Reading, vs. H. W. Benner, of Boyertown, 100 
targets per man, .$20 a side, Berks county championship and loser 
to pay for the targets:
