PIGEON SHOOTING AT GRAVESEND.
he great long-announced match for a Silver Cup and
Cover, given by subscription to be shot for at Gravesend, on
Monday,' was the most complete failure ever was remembered.
The steamers, at least those in the morning, took down the
crack men of London ; and, if there was a sign of consterna-
tion., a symptom of the " white feather," it was when the
" elite" of Gravesend discovered that they had got down the
very flower of the country. The crack man of Gravesend (of
whom it was said he had brought a porter to carry away the
Cup) " cut it." The others " followed suit ;" and out of the
thirty who were considered free at fifteen shillings each, there
were only six who " showed head." What was to be done ;
one thing appeared as clear as the sun at noon-day, that Ale
" Gravesenders " were ashamed to shoot while the Londoners
were present. The pigeons of Clayard's were there, so were
the advocates of fair play ; but the list was not full, although
ever body in the vicinity had promised to enter. Finding that
there was no chance of shooting for a cup; one of the " un-
approved" accepted the challenge of the gentleman who had
brought " a bag for the Cup." It was at six birds each,
twenty-one yards .rise. The Gravesend man went in " aw-
fully." He killed one bird. The other would not " show
off," and contented himself with missing his second and fifth."
Gravesend was completely revolutionised, and so weak
the " natives," that only ten dined, the _otb- . were
" bide their diminished heads." -.els were glad to

Some gentlemen of Dulverton and vicinity have it in con-

the re-establishment of stag hunting in the west of England,
the loss of which was so much regretted by all true sportsmen.
