THE GREAT PIGEON MATCH.
LAPT DAT, THURSDAY. •
After six days orrery fins shooting, this very interesting match is
decided. The interest in it' leas never flagged from die first day,
and long before the shooting,commenoed this morning, the ground.
was attended by all the greet shots who have hitherto been present.
It wo.dd be a difficult matter to decide which of the two Gentlemen
shot best, for we do not think that the winning of the match is ab-
solutely conclusist Ott the subjwt, as a great deal depends on the
tirds ; sometimes they will fly in a direction in which a good shot
cannot miss, but at others they will fly so awkwardly for the gun.
that the most experienced cannot bring them down. The match
oto- td aoyf wt

cithe Captain is three birds ahead.
A match for 3617 is made fire Saturday, between Lord Kennedy

Taws edrlona fact that, for these nine
years past, an eagle has domesticated itself in the premises-
of Mr. George Boyd, timber-merchant in Renfrew. This
noble bird is quite tame, end seems to live in good fellow-
ship with the legitimate occupants of the
