The Manchester men made objection that tho

American appealed to Mr. Smith, who said amid
cheers, 'that the Captain should shoot a bird
and that if anything Of the kind tried again he
should give him the match" strong opinion

The Captains, which was a good pigeon,
got away in straight direction and the shooter late

total, and Bogardus, weak bird was an easy kill
Shaw followed with strong winged bird which rcked,
but was exceedingly well killed by the shooter Tho

his aim and got off free The bird shot right
out Of the trap and killed when well the wing by
the Manchester champion. The Captains dfty-sixth

style. Round hftyseven commenced with clever kill
from Shaw and closed with an equally agile XIII from
the American, both birds giving their back
good chance. Shaw's next swift

man, in the following round, had good taller, but
this shot surpassed by the Captains which secured
for him kill from strong black rock. Shaws next
was good KILL and the bird which it the Amer-
cans lot to have received its de grace quickly
Again both competitors added bird to their scores,
and in the sixty fifth round Shaw killed slow bird,
while Bogardus failed to get properly at taller Shaw,

Shaw commenced the next round with good rock,
which proved too much for him. and the Captains bird,
although good one, fell an easy prey to his gun. In
the succeeding round these positions were reversed
Shaw scoring good bird and the Captain falling to add
TO his score with that got strong on the wing.
Again Shaw failed TO with capital pigeon, while

round this deficit not made up, the score being
