THE SHOOTING GROUNDS.

All three will take part in the most important
matches held during the season abroad. They
have been In practice right along. and will keep
up . systematic course OF training until they
start for Europe. The shooting season at Monte
Carlo Is the chief sporting event OF the year In
Europe. and skilled trap shooters from all parts
of the world participate In them. The season
usually begins on Dec. 10. or thereabouts, and
lasts until the middle OF March. All OF the
matches are open for competition among all
corners.
The greatest period Of the season. however, Is
the FIRST week in February. which Is called inter-
national week, for the most valuable prizes are
competed for by the representatives OF various
nations during that week. Three days In each
week are devoted to the sport. The competi-
tion for the trophy known as the Grand Prix lie
Casino Is the most important event, and Messrs.
Work. Hoey, and Thompson expect to be in fine
form TO have . good try for this valuable prize.
The winner receives a handsome silver trophy
and 10000 francs added. The second prize is
1000 francs and rs per cent. OF all the entry
money: third prize, 5000 francs and rs per
cent. OF all the entry money, and fourth prize,
1000 francs and Is per cent. OF all the entry
money. The remainder OF the entry money is
awarded to the winner of the trophy. As the
entrance money alone is 20. 900 francs, the prize
IL worth while trying for.
There are 100 competitors and the match is
practically one big sweepstake. with an en-

Industrious namesake. Old Hoss Bill Hoey. made
q small fortune out of the Man Who Broke the
Bank at Monte Carlo" Whether Fred Hoey
will be able to sing a song of having done the
sharps at the noted gaming place remains to be
seen. He is famous as one Of the best handicap
wing shots In the country. and has u record of
having killed o. out of 100 birds in a match
shoot on the grounds Of the Westminster Ken
mel Club at Babylon. Hoey Is particularly an
expert In sweepstakes shooting or team matches,
and this behooves well for his success abroad.
or Thompson almost the same can be- said.
He has n record made at Tuxedo OF having
killed 81 out Of 100 birds. George Work is the
crack amateur wing shot OF the United States
In team matches. He has not only beaten all
the crack amateurs. hut has also taken such
shots as Brewer and Fulford into camp I'm

grounds OF the Cartaret Gun Club. Mr.. Work

The Hurting and Gaelic Football Champion
ship Nearing = Close.

The patrons OF Gaelic football and hurting are
looking forward to the final decision OF the
championship race, which Is now rapidly coming
toa close. A few more weeks remain to settle the
question who shall carry of the emblem Of the
best club in the Gaelic Athletic Association. and
those teams that are eligible to compete accord
ing to the rules governing the championship are
losing no efforts TO make the best of their
chances.
From the present complexion OF things II is
very doubtful as to who will be victorious. as
the three crack teams, the Shamrocks, Mitchels,
and kickhams. have yet to come together. The
chances of the Mitchels coming out ahead are
the rosiest. rs they have the hest percentage so
far In the race. The ShamrOcks come next,
closely followed by the Kickhsms. This last
named club il in fine trim. and bids fair 10 LOB
up serenely ut the termination Of the combat.
In the hurting championship the Wolfe Tones
stand foremost. During the present season they
have welded the " canaan" or hurley with rare
skill and discretion. They have defeated the
renowned Irish-Americans several times and
have also conquered the crack Menghers. They
have yet to encounter the sterling G~arrvOwns.
and II they put this team 10 grief their chances
otlandinG the championship will be more So
cure. The secret of the Wolfe Tones success Is
that they are very scientific. Most all Of their
players hail from historic Glare and gallant Tip
perary, IL fact which speaks for itself.
