S.\N Francisco.- A large number of .'gentlemen assembled at the 
Bay District Grounds, May 29, to witness the pigeon shooting match 
between John Jordan and F. Taylor. Both of the contestants are 
ranked among the best shots on this coast, and the shooting done 
by Mr. Jordan is probably the best score for single birds on record 
in America, if not in the world. The match was for $250 aside. 
The usual distance of 21 yards rise and 80 yards boundary was 
adopted in the contest. Tlie traps were what are called the plunge, 
and two were used by each party. Taylor started off, and holh 
killed their first birds; but Taylor missed the second, and the pigeon 
flew off uninjured. Jordan missed the twentieth, which was the 
only bird that escaped his deadly aim.
