{. LONDON, May B.--Pigeon shooting on
the ground that 1t Is not only inhumnn
but out Of date sport is likely to be
abolished from the Hurlingham Club.
At the annual general meeting OF tho
members. on May %. the chairman, the
Earl Of sAncastcr. will propose. and Major
General Sir p. Ewart will second reso-
luton that pigeon shooting be dlscon-
tinued at the birmingham Club after De-
.cember 81. 1905.
In official memoranda to the Committee
OF the Club, 1t Is declared to be admitted
that pigeon shooting has ceased to be
popular amusement. and that on the con-
trary strong prejudice against 1t has
arisen.
: a prominent member Of tho club, when
said that though the qucs-.
ton OF cxpedlency had no doubt actuated
the governing body OF the club in bring
ing forward the resolution. there were a
large number who objected to pigeon
shooting on humane grounds This menu
Der OF the club said that In his opinion
pigeon shooting Is an out OF date sport,
worthy only to rank with cock fighting
and bull batting.
It costs tho club moro than It brings
in from gate money The high black
boarding surrounding the arena Is an
eye-sore to members and ladies object to
1t on account Of dead and wounded
pigeons falling on the tennis and croquot
lawns while they are at play.
1T is confidently believed the resolution
will BIO carried

Success.

Atchinson, Kas., Sept. 14.--No
such outpouring of sight seers was
ever witnessed here as occurred to.
day, the first big day of the Atchin'
son corn carnival. The passenger
trains coming into the city were
simply unable to carry the crowds.
At many of the stations on the roads
coming into the city box cars were
pressed into service --as passenger
vehicles, and people rode into town
on the COW catcherS, or seated on the
tenders. clinging to roof and the car
steps, and on the brake beams. The
weather was gloomy this morning.
Today''s programme: embraces a
flower parade with a hundred and ten
features, drills by a company of re-
gulars, band concerts, .andTballoon
ascension. And to add to the merri.
ment of the day, E. W. Howe,
editor of the. Globe, who originated
the corn carnival idea, authorized,the
announcement that he was feeling
cheerful.
