GRAND PIGEON SHOOTING AT ASHTON.

A few days since a " pigeon shooting" took place upon
Ashton Heath, which we consider unparalleled in the an-
nals of sporting. A number of kentlernen, qualified sports-
men, met in the afterruain fir this purpose. It was late
before they: could commence their sport, and powder and
shot becoming scarce, they could not, unfortunately, shoot
at the number of birds proposed. The birds were trapped
and had their legs tied ; yet, notwithstanding this, only
five birds out of fifteen were killed by five individuals.—
Two of the party did not kill a bird.—not a feather was
touched-an evident proof that either the powder, shot, or
guns were .bad. Not satisfied with the excellent sport they
had experienced, the birds taken alive from the heath were
reserved for the next day, when the shooters promised' to
begin a little earlier, and take plenty of ammunition with
them. Accordingly they assembled on that day, and de-
termining not needlessly to throw away a chance, they tied
a string to the legs of one of the pigeons, with pieces of
turf fastened at the othei.end. The bird soared slowly
and majestically front tlie grown!, allowing the sportsmen
plenty of time to take aim ; -but all was in vain, for,
strange to say, the bird Hew Of uninjured, although fired
at twelve times..—Blackburn Mail.
