the best shots of the club had already carried off the
trophy twice, and either one needed but one more
victory to secure permanent possession OF it. Good
and fast birds were provided and the shooting was
above the general average. light breeze blowing
directly to the traps, in few Instances caused the
smoke from the first barrel to obstruct the shoot
er's sight on the second bird that few missed.
