PIGEON SHOOTING.
The last day's pigeon shooting at the Red House, yesterday,
brought together all the best shots in the kingdom, and of all
the greater favourites there, _Messrs. Osbaldeston and Budd
stood pre-eminent. Captain Ross and other great shots have
left London ; but upon the whole the best shooting that was
ever known in this kingdom has taken place in this said Red
House Enclosure. The shooting of yesterday consisted in :lir.
Osbaldeston backing himself at taking five to two; and three to
one against killing two pigeons at twenty-one yards from the
trap, with a double-barrelled gun. He completed his work in
a most skilful manner ; and a jovial entertainment concluded
the day's sports—Patricians in one lot, and Plebians and all
sorts in another.
