which is close by Monaco and within about half an
hours ride by rail rom Nice. The pavilion and
enclosure, which have been erected at q cost OF
$4,000, were literally crowded with the cite from
all nations, and, the weather being delightfully."-
fine and warm, the company enjoyed themselves
and appeared charmed with their visit. The sun
shone brightly, and the waves OF the beautifully
colored Mediterranean sparkled and danced under
its genial rays.
1t Will be seen from the appended scores that
there were ffty-six competitors, and that the
English division were strongly represented. They
shot at i've rocks each, from five traps,
six yards apart, ana mad the use OF
both barrels. The distance was twenty
seven yards, and the boundary on either
side was forty yards beyond the outer traps while
that In 'front.' was not more than twenty-0ne yards
from the centre trap. The consequence was that
several OF the competitors did not kill their birds
with the second barrel until they had passed over
the wire fence which separated the enclosure from
the sea, and In some instances the birds, although
some OF them Immediately fell iiieless TO the re-
port OF the gun, fell In the Mediterranean dead, but
