phaeton. In the carriage were two
young men and two young ladies.

the carriage was thrown out, but only
slightly bruised, The wagon collided

The SHOOTING MATCH.
several Hundred People Euioy?
the MurdeK0us Sport.


Those who can enjoy the cruel sport
~ OF shooting match at live pigeons
ought to have been well satisfied as
the exhibition In that line, given by
the champion pigeon shot of the world,
Captain John L. Brewer, on the Exhi-
oltion grounds, Tuesday afternoon.
There were three or four hundred
people. mostly of the sporting frater-
nifty, on the grouuds, when the shoot
began, and, outside of the simple feat
OF shooting the birds, tho affair was
tame enough. There was not as much
excitement or enthusiasm manifested
as Is generally exhibited at an ordin-
ary Sunday School picnic.
The feat was for Captain Brewer to
kill 95 birds ont OF 100, for a stake Of
$1,000. Who put mp the stake the un.
initiated cannot say, but one H. B.
Burroughe, of Utica, New York,
seemed to be the man who produced
the funds, and big Jake Blenheimer,
OF the Manhattan Club, New York.
held the stakes.
TO show his skill CAPTAIN Brewer
commenced the exhibition by shooting
at a few of bis own pigeons, first offer
ing to bet $50 that he would kill Is
birds out of 20; this bet was taken up
by Mr.. Burroughs and the money
covered
Before this, however, CAPTAIN
Brewer bet $500, that he would win
the stake to be shot for, (the $1,000
this bet was taken by Mr.. Burroughs
who seemed to be ''heeled" as the boys
said.
CAPTAIN Brewer lost the bet of $50,
for he missed three birds before the
twenty had been shot at.
Well, after some little parlying the
big shoot begun, P. J. Davis was
chosen referer and score keeper, and
Asher Robbins pulled the traps. John
Adams dog, and later on Fred Con-
ner's dog were the retrievers, and the
birds were let go.
There was nothing particularly inter-
esting in the shooting. The birds were
not much at flying; most of them had
their tails cut off. and good many of
them mac to be stoned and dubbed be-
fore they would rise after the traps was
pulled off them. The CAPTAIN shot
twenty-five birds straight, but the
twenty-sixth one got away and was
winged out of bounds. The forty
eight bird flew directly away from the
Captain and was missed, though the
champion fred both barrels after 1t;
the sixty-second and sixty.seventh
birds did the same thing, and the
ninety second went the same way. The
next eight birds the champion killed
straight, winning the stake and the
$500, extra

amounts.
