pigeons 900 have yet to be disposed of-but the

day. The interest In this match has been very
great. To-day the grounds were largely attended,

weather. for the sun was extremely hot, few OF the
seats set apart for spectators were left unoccu-

generally occurring when the car is full.

particulars upon the display of yesterday, which,
while pretty fair might yet have been much better
AS for the birds no complaints could reasona-
bly, be made, for they were both strong and in ex-
celent condition. The wind that prevailed In the
morning unfortunately died away, leaving the
pigeons an easy prey to the more experienced shots.
OF the forty-three competitors for the single trap

birds each, only one succeeded in completing
the task, there being seven who killed nine,
