BALTIMORE, Dec. 3.-The pigeon shooting
at Pimlico to-day, under the auspices OF the
Maryland Jockey Club, was but sparsely at
tended, owing to the cold and rainy weather.
Capt. A. Fl. Bogardus, the champion wing

five pairs of pigeons from two spring traps,
forty yards apart, the shooter to stand on line
between the traps, both to be sprung at the
same time, and to kill thirty-eight bros from
the trap on his right.
He missed the first and twenty-third bird,
and from that on his left the twenty-sixth and
thirty-eiehth birds, and when forty-four
birds were sprung, Capt Bogardus had killed
forty.
The second exhibition was to kill twenty
eight out OF thirty-three birds, and to load his
own gun within four minutes.
These birds were not set off from the traps
but thrown up two at q time, and when thirty
two had been thrown up he had killed tSen-
ty-nine, and accomplished the feat in three
minutes and eight seconds. He missed the
seventh, fourteenth, twenty-frst and twenty
third birds.
