Richmond Pigeon Club. 
RicHMONU, V'a., April 10.— The Richmond Pigeon Club finished 
the first season of its existence this afternoon witn a very successful 
shoot. Tlie scores must not be taken as a criterion of the shooting, 
as Lynham, as usual, had got together a clipping lot of birds, 
which, with the aid of a gale of wind dead in tne shooters' teeth, 
gave a whole lot of trouble. Many birds that under normal con- 
ditions would have been scored to the shooter were whirled over 
the dead line and had to be marked with an asterisk, while others 
simply corkscrewed out of everything. To-<lay's shoot decided the 
ownership of the ciub medal, given to the shooter making the high- 
est aggregate score for the season, and this, like the State and city 
championship medals, now rests in the possession of Mr, Franklin 
Stearns. Messrs, Hammond and Wood were respectively second 
and third. Scores:
