Portsmouth, N. H. — A pigeon shooting match for 
the “Eldridge Medal” came off Saturday, the ITtli 
inst., at the Rockingham Trotting Park, between Mr. 
M. O. Stimson and J. W. Bell, both members of the 
Portsmouth Shooting Club. The medal was presented 
to the club at their last annual club shoot by Mr. Mar- 
cellus Eldridge, and is an elegant affair, beautifully en- 
graved with setter’s head, woodcock, etc. The eyes of 
setter and woodcock are of small diamonds. It was won

tained by him. The conditions of the shoot were 15 
domestic birds each, 21 yards rise, 80 yards boundary, 
and from H and T ground traps. Mr. Stimson won the 
medal by the following excellent score, which is the 
best ever made in this vicinity :
