for the coming j’ear. The weather was unpropitious. 
The birds were insuflicient in number. In shooting ofi 
the double birds, many of the marksmen used Dittmar’s 
powder, which produces very littie smoke indeed, and 
as there was at times very little wind to carry it ofi",' this 
was a decided advantage. The average shooting in the 
second grade was a trifie better than that of the first 
grade, the average in the first grade being 11 12-13, 
while the average in the second was 12. Mr. Ballou 
carried oflf the cup belonging to his grade. F. Wiley 
won third grade cup. The first grade cup remains to 
be contested for by Messrs. Turrill and Waller. Gun 
Club rules; no boundary-; birds to be gathered in three 
minutes; 5 single and 5 double rises.

\ tRGtsia.- Are pigeons from traps more difficult to kill than quail 
in the field during November and December? I never saw a pigeon 
trap, and wish to enter at Memphis shoot. Out of 516 shots at quail

pigeons? Axs. — They are different style of shooting. Your record 
is good enough to go in and win.

It seems that the Peabody rifle, the piece adopted as 
the State arm, is not only objectionable on account of 
the cartridges, but is a dangerofis weapon to handle. 
The testimony taken in the case of Edward H. Hosiner, 
who accidental]}' shot and killed Mrs. Michael Reddy, 
la.st month, at Netv Haven, shows that the breech-block 
is .so slovenly adjusted that merely closing it frequently 
discharges the piece in spite of the utmost care on the 
part of the person using the weapon . — Springfield Union.
