PfSEOIS MATSHES. 
SYRACrSE TOIRNAMENT. 
Th<! grand shooting tournament of the Central City 
and Onondaga Clubs of Syracuse opened on Tuesday, 
July 13, rather unfavorably, and the attendance was 
much smaller than expected; but we must remind our 
friends that they gave a limited notice, and two other 
large shoots being called for at nearly the same time 
must readily account for a small attendance on the open- 
ing. The arrangements for the shoot were well per- 
fected, the range being located in East Syracuse, about 
five miles from the city, on the line of the Xew York 
Central E. R., and special trains running to and fro 
stopping at the Y anderbilt House and other prominent 
points for passengers, for the nominal sum of ten cents. 
The accommodation was complete, and perfectly' satis- 
factory, and the field arrangements merit fuU appro- 
bation. A grand stand was erected for the visitors, 
good seats provided for the shooters, refreshment tables 
for the hungry, and plenty of tents in the rear for the 
weary. The field was well flagged, and cleared of all 
obstructions, and every' provision made for the regula- 
tion of shooting and comfort of guests that could be ex- 
pected at so short a notice. Who the prime movers in 
the matter were we do not know; but are positive that 
Johnny Xichols and Frank Klock were prominent at 
every' point, and ready for business every time, and 
naturally supposed that they were the de facto managers. 
No matter whether they were or not, they especially were 
on hand for business, and attended to it. At 12 M. the 
shooting began with Frank Klock, of Sy'racuse, and H. 
Tucker, of Providence, R. I., as judges, and H. N. 
Rumsey, of Seneca Falls, as referee, w'ith the genial C. 
R. Wright, of Syracuse, as caller.

Thomas Kimber, is a member of the Onondaga County 
Sportsmen’s club. This ended the day’s sport. 
At about half-past five o’clock Mr. Sherman, of Be- 
loit, discovered th.Tt his gun had been stolen. Soon, an 
engineer and fireman informed a couple of sportsmen 
that they had seen the missing piece in the hands of a 
boy who had offered the valuable plunder for the paltry 
sum of $30. A general hunt, not down on the pro- 
gramme, was then begun, each sportsman taking part. 
Three engines were kindly furnished by the railroad 
officials at East Syracuse, and the chase commenced. 
Teams were also provided, while scouting parties, a la 
Buffalo Bill, scoured the country in search of the miss- 
ing weapon. Escape from such a body of detectives was 
simply impossible, and the fugitive was of course over- 
taken. The thief proved to be a youth of about twenty 
summers, and his exploit cost him a “ winter of dis- 
content.” 'The young villain was brought back to the 
grounds by “ special train.” Some of the Vigilance 
Committee proposed to put him in the bird trap, while 
others thought that he would cut a nice figure at the end 
of a rope. The captive was, however, respited to the 
moral suasion of the penitentary.
