The Philadelphia Record had a "special despatch" as follows: 
; "Shamokin, Pa., Sept. 5. — In a 13-bird pigeon match on Bunker 
Hill , to-day between Mark Jones, of this place, and George 
' Markle, of Hickory Ridge, the latter won a $600 purse by grassing 
seven birds to his opponent's six." This, as a "special despatch," 
is first rate; but as showing how unlucky the number 13 is 
for Jones— it surpasses, first rate. It will be noted, however, that 
Markle was high average for "grassing." The despatcher, other- 
wise careful, was careless in omitting mention of the longest run, 
and other doings of excellence which would give more substance 
and color to such a famous contest. 
*t 
The programme of the Mullerite Gun Club tournament, to be 
held on the Richmond Gun Club grounds, Concord, S. I., Oct. 26,
