being unfsvorable Before the 800 yard shoot
ing was half completed the rain came,
AND FIRING CEASED
for time, and the 900 yard firing, or a portion
blowing almost gale, and veering nearly half a
circle.
This put the shooters to severe test, as sights
and wind allowances had TO be changed, and as
each one "wauted that Lilientha1 cup" they did |
their level best to secure It.
The cup put up as prize by Lenthal, the

THEUNLUCKY STAR OF THE
NEW YORK DOGS.

The work of drowning the uniicens-
ed dogs of New York commenced
Yesterday and the life history oil 1oz
canine INDIVIDUALS came to an untime-
ly end. A reporter iu describing the
sacrifice, says;--
"The dogs drowned yesterday were
OF the yery meanest kind, and most OF
them must have been horrible nuis-
ances on the street. Several OF them
were literally raw all over their bodies
with the most loathsome forms OF
mango, and the body of one OF them
was perfectly rotten with cancers. The
dangerous character of the dogs de-
stroyed is sho wn by the treatment the
dog-catchers have suffered. The re-
porter saw forty-six of these ofncials
and their assistants who had been Sc
verely bitten since Tuesday morning
by the dogs they had handled. The
total number OF bites received by
these forty-six men is 240, or little
more than all average of five bites
piece. But six of them received one
bite each, aud one of these was clear
through thumb; one clear through
an upper lip; two of the others each
bad bites on the stomach. One who
suffered from three bites was also bit
ten clear through his right check. An
other got five ugly bites, three or
which was on his nose, one going all
the way through it. Another got a
dogs long teeth entirely through the
middle OF his wrist, besides one
through nostrll and another through
his upper lip. Another got the end Of
his nose cbewed into pulp, besides
receiving four other bites. Another
got his left CALI bitten through, and
three places on his right hand badly
torn by bloodhound. Many of the
catchers have got and 5 ugly bites
each upon different pats of their bod
les; several have got each; three z;
one 8, one l2; one 10; three Is; and
two, 16. 1t was reported at the pound
that "Rocky" Moore who had got 10
dangerous bites had to be taken W
Bellevue Hospital. James Mclaughlin
who received 16 bites most of Them
upon the right hand and arm, was in a
bad condition when seen by the re-
porter his arm was so swollen that he
could no longer button his shirt-sleeve
and the skin of it was as black as the
leather of his shoes. Upon investiga-
tlon among these wounded men, the
reporter laerned that the dog which
is the most vicious, doing far more
biting than all the others together is
the SpiZ. CT the 46 men seen who
have been beaten 80 of them were Bit
ten by Spitz dogs although the num-
Der of Spitz dog captured is very much
smaller than the number of any other
species taken. OF the 240 bites report
ed 2O0 are set down against the Spilz
dogs, or5 to 1 although among the
pounded CANNES the other dogs stand
about 10 to l in number against the
Spitz."
