Oatieigh Thorne. who O few years neo was
one OF the best pigeon shots In tho country
and who won many events In Europe. In 1883
gave a handsome trophy 10 the Cartoret Gun
Club to be- shot for by the member OF that or
ganizatlon. In the lrst competition he made
the best score and won the prize. a big gold
plated pitcher. The trophy was sent TO tho
silversmiths for storage and n few weeks ago
they found Il and wondered TO whom II be-
longed. They sent II to Thorne. who said he
had forgotten oil about IL. but ut once decided
TO present It TO the gun club again for q prize
for more mpetitions. The Shooting Com
mittes decided 30 arrang, n series OF ten. bird
handicaps and the member who wins three OF
these IL to become the owner ot the pitcher.
The first OF these events was shot Yesterday at
