PIGEON SHOOTING.

Ira A. Paine. the pigeon shooter, is prepar Ing to
commence three suits at law against Henry Bergh.
the President OF the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals for interfering with him his
professional business. The first suit is for the
money value or over two hundred and fifty pigeons
which Mr. Bergh took from Mr.. Paine by force and
appropriated to his own use. The second suit will
be for $1,000 for damages sustained by Mr.. Paine In
his profession, by raids made by Mr.. Bergh on him
and the public when engaged IN pigeon matches.
The third suit will be for expenses and losses
sustained by him IN having to 60 to Canada to shoot
his last match with Captain BOgardus. Mr.. Paine
has retained the best legal talent In this city, and
there Is no doubt in the minds of the members Of
the Bar that Mr.. bergn Will have to pay heavily for
his O1lciOusness. The question now arises, Will
Bergh have to pay the damages out Of his own
pocket will the society Of which he is the Presi
dent have TO STAND the brunt of his foly9 II the
latter Is the case tho sooner they appoint another
President in the place OF the great monomanac the
better for It's interests.
