Shooting.


The match between Ward and Paine, so much
talked about resulted agreeably to public expecta
tion, for while Ward was certainly surrounded by
occasional III luck the GOODNESS and steady nerve Of
PANE were apparent to all spectators. The killing
Of thirty-nine birds in succession was undoubtedly
great feat, and fully established the confidence OF
the spectators in his powers. Ward managed TO
destroy seventy-three birds, and, though defeated,
proved himself q capital shot. The match between
Tinker and Taylor, though, perhaps not so interest,"
ing, was more closely contested. by the way, Mr.
Kennedy, though not exactly exhibiting dog In the
manger inclination, fully displayed his antipathy
to all outdoor recreation. Cruelty TO. animals
forsooth was his plea for preventing the sport
taking place at the Dubois track, thereby compelling
many persons TO wander away to o comparatively
isolated spot to enjoy themselves Now, while he
may be commended by the tiruid members OF the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO Animals, he
will not certainly he admired by the public generally,
considering that many an unfortunate night bird
falls into the hands OF his savage clubbsts who de-
terminedly exhibit their cruelty to human beings.

ing distracting envy in the heart of nearly

good Newfoundland dogs, but they had
the spirit and mettlo Of whole drove of ord-
nary farm horses.
The boys along the route of his drive had
no treasures with which they would not will
lingly have parted for even one of the po-
MES. Pocket-knives, return balls; strings;
kite cord; oyster shells; leather straps,
chewing wax marbles, and everything else
that goes to make up the contents of boys
pocket, were freely offered in exchange for
the "funny little horses" A negro boy, after
some hesitation, offered broken fiddle and
tom-cat for the whole team, provided Sol
would throw in the gearing. Notwithstand-
ing all these seductive offers the little team
was driven home without change Of owner
