There will be a handicap of 25 birds on Saturday, 
called at 2 P. M., $10, for cup presented by J. L. Stack, 
of Chicago. 
March 5.— The event to-day was a handicap of 25 birds, 
for cup presented by J. L. Stock, of Chicago. The 
weather was threatening and raining part of the time, 
nevertheless fourteen shooters faced the score. Every¬ 
thing went well up to the tenth round, when the misses 
began to count, and one after the other of the shooters 
began to drop out, the rule being they should retire 
after 4 misses, with a privilege. At the end of the 25th 
round, the score stood: Upson 24, Peck 24, Henry 24. 
The tie was shot off in a series of 3 bird shoots. 
The contestants shot beautifully. Peck was the first to 
niiss — his 14th bird, a low driver; and although it was 
hard hit, it cleared the boundary fence and was lost. 
Upson and Henry both scored. The referee then called 
the contest off, as it was getting dark, and named Mon¬ 
day as the day to decide the ownership of the cup. 
W. A. H. Stafford acted as referee. Scores:
