The Olympic Clay Bird Meeting. 
Although progress should have been made July 8 
with the events set down for this meeting, the plucky 
attempt of the shooters to ignore the bad weather pro¬ 
duced no useful result. It was so palpable that the 
scores utterly failed to show the form of the shooters 
that the competitors and officials mutually agreed that 
those so desiring should be allowed to shoot again. The 
natural result was the throwing of a double burden on 
the second day, and although the special equipment laid 
down at the grounds of the Uxenden Shooting School 
Club stood this severe test very well, the endurance of 
the competitors had its limits, and a certain amount of 
arrears remained on Thursday evening to be cleared off. 
Clay bird shooting, unlike the sister sport of rifle shoot¬ 
ing, does not show the infinite variety of weapons, dis¬ 
tances and targets which multiply the tests of marksman¬ 
ship. There is but one weapon, one distance, and one 
target; consequently the programme resolves itself into 
two competitions, one for individuals, the other for 
teams. Each is divided into three stages, the more suc- 
cesssful participants of one stage being passed over to 
the next, until the third or final round enables the 
contest to be decided. From the shooting point of 
view, the conditions presented at Uxenden are exceed¬ 
ingly difficult. Whether the angles at which the traps 
are set are unusually difficult, or whether the wind has 
played pranks with their flight, the fact remains that 
many of the birds get out of range before the shooter 
can direct his aim upon them. The limit charge allowed, 
iy s oz., cannot with the best of guns be relied upon to 
account for so small an object as a clay bird beyond 
40yds., and the fact that first barrels are often taken at 
distances extreme even for the second barrel will ex¬ 
plain why many shooters of consistent reputation have 
failed to show their proper form. The British Olympic 
Council delegated the management of this meeting to 
the Clay Bird Shooting Association, the following being 
the executive committee: Lord Westbury, chairman; 
the Hon. Arthur Bligh, and Messrs. A. Brampton, J. N. 
Ilayley, W. R. Hillsdon, A. F. Orr, W. Witchell, H. W. 
Newton P. Newton, and E. II. Stone, hon. secretary 
of the Clay Bird Shooting Association and member 
of the British Olympic Council. The arrangements have 
been very complete, but the bad weather reduced the 
pleasantness of what would in the ordinary course have 
proved a most enjoyable gathering. The nationalities 
represented are less than originally anticipated, those 
entering the lists being one team of Canadians, one 
from Holland, and two representing the United King¬ 
dom. Others entered, but either from shortness in num¬ 
bers or scratching at the last moment only four full 
teams have entered. The following scores have been 
received: 
Individual competition, first stage, 30 birds, known 
traps and unknown angles; the competitors in the near¬ 
est proportion of half the original number, making the 
highest scores in the first stage to shoot in the second

An&lostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., July 20. —The Analostan Gun Club 
shot under unfavorable conditions on the 19th. The 
weather was scorching hot, and one of the traps worked 
badly. Most of the shooting wa sdone over No. 2 trap, 
which almost faces the west, and the light was very try¬ 
ing—as were also, the targets—which were thrown much 
beyond the regulation distance. The club score was 
shot over this trap, after it had been slowed up to throw 
about a 60yd. target. Next Saturday we hope to have
