PATERSON q. j., April 3.-The third
animal tournament of the live pigeon
shooting under the auspices of the Inter-
state Manufacturers and Dealers Asso-
citation was begun at Willard Park to-
day. There was a light wind blowing
when the sport began, but it increased
considerably in the afternoon, and made
things rather uncom Portable for the
marksmen.
The Willard Park Introductory secured
twenty-five entries. This event was with
seven birds. Elliott, Clark, Glass, Van
Dyke, MayheW, Captain Money and Le-
roy divided first money, each of them
having killed seven straight. Fulford,
Arnold, Green, Holman, White, Pfister,
Morfrey, a. 5. White, Glover and Henry

conditions were 50 entrance, the birds

entered for this event, and thirteen of
them killed seven straight. They shot

round, when four men had dropped out
the remaining nine agreed to divide The
money, which amounted to S2I5. The
winners were Messrs. Moore, Sweeney.

The principal shoot OF the day was the
Nitro Powder handicap at ID birds, SIS

There were thirty-siX entries for this
event, and 1t WAS brought oil at the Main

Europe, for their Parliament has lust re-

disposed to doubt. Every little while

vented by the severity with which di-
rectors are held responsible under the

ZlenenT would make il impossible to
obtain the services of responsible men
in such positions. But we greatly need
quickening of the sense of commercial
honor In these matters, and no man
should take upon himself the office of
trustee of funds who has neither the
time nor the disposition to give at least
ordinary care 10 its duties. Every day
men Of high standing in the world of
