noted as a " crack shot" in the palmy days of the old " Red
Squire Chantrev, who tdms truth year, and who was
House," was backed some few weeks since to kill 99 pigeons
out of 100 shots, and. Thursday, May 9, was the day ap-

tors. In his distance of 15 yards he brought
down his first five, missed two, slaughtered seven, missed
the eighth, killed three and missed three, killed two,
missed one, and killed one ; total, 18 killed, missed 7. In
