Edward the Confessor, during his lunch hour, was tempted to 
patronize a shilling fish ordinary at Billingsgate, consisting of 
three courses, with potatoes and bread. For the first course, a 
small and somewhat dubious fish was placed before the Monarch, 
who regarded it for some moments in a fit of gloomy abstraction. 
Presently calling the waiter, he asked, "Sirrah, what eallest thoa 
this fish?" "Smek, sir," replied he of the grimy shirt front. 
"It is well named," replied the King, standing up and taking his 
crown from the hat rack, "for it hath smelt so loud that I cannot 
hear myself talk. I must seek some other plaice."— LoMdon Fish-

Tofonto Tournament. 
'EoHONTo, Can. — The ^ annual tournament of the D. Pik« Com- 
pany, Limited, was held at the Woodbine race track, Toronto, on 
Feb. 22 and 23. There was, considering the weather, a fairly good 
attendance. The trade was represented by Messrs. E. G. White, 
Ottawa; and Forest H. Conover, Leamington. Both are very 
popular with the shooters, and are always welcome. Mr.- Cono.ver ■ 
v.-asj'- through an error in the dates, unfortunately absent ' the' 
first day, but "Injun" was much in evidence 'after he "hit th'e 
trail." 
Mr. White was professional high average for each day and also 
for the tournament. The high amateur for both days and for 
the tour.iament was Mr. Thomas A. Duff, Toronto. 
A feature of the second day's shooting was the marvelous work 
done by Mr. G. W. McGill, Toronto. For several years the record 
has stood at 97 broken targets out of 100, but Mr. McGill suc- 
ceeded in breaking 98— a mark which will no doubt stand for a 
long time. He then shot at 15 more and went straight, making 
113 broken out of 115 shot at— truly good work. Mr. Philip 
Wakefield, Toronto, also shot well, and was close up. 
Two miss-and-out pigeon events were shot and the money 
divided by Messrs. Wakefield, Kingdon and Duff. 
On the first day a squad composed of Messrs. Duff, White, 
Downs and Rasberry made 56 out of 60, and on the second day 
Messrs. Duff, Conover, White, Downs and McGill made 120 out 
of 125, all of which was fairly good work for the middle of win- 
etr. The scores follow:

Ossining Gun Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., March 4.— At the regular practice shoot of the 
Ossining Gun Club, Saturday, March 4, there were three hand- 
some prizes offered by Mr. E. F. Ball. These were put in one 50- 
bird handicap (events 4 and 5), as first, second and third prizes. 
Birds were thrown hard, and a brisk wind made good scores 
impossible. J. Curry Barlow was the bright particular star, making 
a string of 22 out of 25, tying W. S. Smith for first and second, 
a traveler's toilet case and gun metal match safe., Barlow win- 
ning on the shoot-off. Coleman got third prize, a pair of gold 
sleeve links, without a tie. 
The next shoot will be on Saturday, March 25, when a ICO-bird 
match will be run, misses-as-kills handicap, entrance price of 
birds, at 11/2 cent each. The prizes will be four in number, and 
fine ones are promised. The donor will be Col. Franklin Brand- 
reth.

Stanley Gun Club* 
Toronto, March 5. — During the latter part of 1804 a number of 
gentlemen who take a great interest in trapshooting met for' the 
purpose of forming a league among the many gun clubs situated 
in Toronto. Notices to that effect were sent to the secretaries of 
the different clubs, with the result that five clubs, namely. Balmy 
Beach, National, Parkdale, Riverdale,. and Stanley gun clubs, en- 
tered into and formed what is known as the City Trapshooters' 
League, under the following conditions: Clubs to shoot home and 
home matches, making eight in all. Season to commence Jan. 7 
and end April S. Shooting every alternate Saturday during March 
and April until finished. Balmy Beach, National and Stanley 
gun elubs to shoot not less than fifteen men on a side, 25 targets 
pel' man. Parkdale and Riverdale, owing to so many of their 
tnembers whose occupation requires them to be at their place 
of business on Saturday afternoon, were allowed to produce not 
less than tea men. The matches to be shot on a percentage basis. 
One of the main objects of the promoters of the League was to 
help the younger shooter along, as, no matter how well he may 
shoot on his own grounds, will often be found to take a streak 
of nervousness when shooting in strange company or on the 
grounds of a sister club. 
How admirably the promoters of the League have succeeded will 
be seen in the percentages of the first matches, shot on Jan. 7. 
Nationals vs. Balmy Beach, sixteen men a side: Nationals 
45,50 per cent. ; Balmy 44.25 per cent., and the percentage of the 
1 earns on Saturdaw last, which are hovering around 70 per cent. 
The following matches took place in the League on Saturday: 
Balmy Beach vs. Parkdale, Balmy Beach grounds. Stanleys vs. 
Riverdales, Riverdale grounds. The day was clear and cold, with 
a bright sun on the glistening snow, made a very bad light, 
especially on the Riverdale's grounds, which face the west, and 
toward the end of the match the shooters were shooting into the 
setting sun, which accounts for the lowness of the scores at the 
bottom of the Stanley and Riverdale list. The following is the 
result of Saturday's score, also the standing of the League to 
date: . 
Balmy Beach Gun Club— J. G. Shaw 25, Adams 22, J. A. Shaw

Death of John C. Morrison. 
Parkerseurg, W. Va., Feb. 27.— You will please find subjoined 
clipping from our daily papers regarding the passing of a grand 
old man. He, in his early days, was in full sympathy with live- 
bird shooting, and while at Lockport, where he conducted a hotel, 
he took part and was closely identified with the events of those 
times. He was a great lover of good dogs, and always had a 
biace of the best. His interest has never ceased for field sports. 
Though vigorous and well, his sight for years has prevented his 
taking part either in field or trap work, but he has kept in touch 
with the boys. On Jan. 1 he went with me to our club and 
witnessed our shoot, although he was compelled to go into the 
trap house in order to see the flight of bluerocks. Kindly make 
mention of the incident. Many old friends who read the Forest 
AND Stream will remember Uncle John. 
The clipping follows: 
The funeral of the late John C. Morrison will take place from 
the residence of James A. Wetherell, 622 Juliana street, at 3 
o'clock this afternoon, iinder-the auspices of the Masonic fra- 
ternity. Parkersburg Lodge 198, B. P. O. Elks, of which Mr. 
Morrison was a member, will also attend the funeral in a body. 
■ At the home the services will be conducted by Rev. J. W. 
F'rances, assisted by Rev. Dr. S. S. Moore. 
. Following are the pallbearers: E. R. Patton, Judge L. N. 
Tavenner, T. R. Cowell, J. L. Cramer, James W. Dils and S. 
Reitzenberger. C. L. Slayton. 
Florists Gun Cbb. 
WissiNOMiNG, Pa., March 4. — Two well-bred pointer puppies 
were the chief prizes in the main event of the Florists' Gun Club 
shoot. The programme consisted of 50 targets, divided into three 
10s and one 20 target event. It was a sliding handicap contest, 
open to all. Mr. L. P. Huber, of the Clearview Gun Club, won 
first with 44 out of 50. Pluber had two chances, and also shot 
for Peachin. On his first attempt he broke 37. He shot "for 
Peachin and scored 43, thus Peachin tied Tansey for second prize. 
They tossed for the dog, and Tansey won. Huber then shot his 
third string out and won first trophy by breaking 44 targets. 
St. Clair scored 42 on his first attempt and 37 on his second.

Poughkeepsie Gun Club, since the change has been made from 
weekly shoots to an open tournament held the first Saturday of 
each month, was held on the afternoon of March 4. The weather 
conditions could not: be worse for holding a tournament, snowing 
throughout the forenoon, and the wind, well, it kept one guessing 
to stay on the platform, not to mention trying to find dodging 
targets. Ten men shot through the programme. The next tour- 
nament will" be held Saturday, April 1.
