PIGEON SHOOTING AT HORNSEY-WOOD.--113;
first important handicap of the season was shot °
on Thursday in the Hornsey-wood enclosure, in the Pre'
sence of a very large gathering, The weather was faYstil
able, and there was a slight breeze from the south-east. P:
less than 85 competitors answered to their 1130:1.
The birds, with but few exceptions, were both fast 6.11"
strong on the wing, and the shooting, speaking generaill'
was first-rate, when it is considered that non e but P3r,
tridge guns were used, some carrying as little as We;
of shot, and many of the birds falling at distal,' t
varying from 35 to 70 yards. In addition to the Os
prize of 240 cove Mr. Purdey, the eminent gunmA
."A;
presented a well-executed breech-loader to the winner.
two-thirds of the guns used were breech-loaders, it vic'ult
seem that the prejudices which existed when they were aro%
introduced have gradually died away ; indeed, more
half the prizes at Hornsey-wood have been carried off
them, Shortly before 3 o'clock the first shot was fired fc:r
