FEATS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Wonderful Shooting of Captain b.
uardus and DR.. Carver.

Old gentlemen of the period just aft
er the war will tell you sadly that
there are no such shots as there used
to be. In this connection it is inter
esting to note that 81 900 was wagered
against 500 that the champion Of the
world could not hit a hundred consec-
utive birds. Many amateurs, not to
speak of professionals, frequently
make such a score without arousing
comment in these days. Captain Be-
gardus was to be allowed three trials
If he lost the first two and made the
third the money was his, and. by the
way, he used a twelve gauge, full
choke, ten pound gun, and his load
was five drains Of black powder with
No. 8 shot. He loaded his own shells
or had them loaded according to his
directions.
While shooting in England his load
was challenged by one Of his defeated
rivals, who asserted that the cham
piOn's phenomenal scores were the re-
suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should use his am
