ceive $10, $9, $ 8 , $7, $ 6 , $5, and $5. The general av¬ 
erages for the three days are also allotted the same 
amounts. The contestant making high average in all 
regular events will receive the New York city cup, 
emblematic of the individual championship of the State 
of New York. Shooting will begin at 9 o’clock each day. 
Shells for sale on the grounds. Rose system, 5, 4, 3, 2
