son the minor cups, trophies and
other specials were abandoned for an
out and out. long, lengthy battue.
Because the men forfeited the pleas.
urcs of their New Years turkey they
thought they would smash into race

failed and they had to be contented
with shorter contest. In all, there
were sixteen prizes. which were divided
betwoen the handicap guns, as the
scratch score did not count.

When the last bird Of the regular
race had been trapped it was nearly
dark, and then it was found that the
five leading guns were Martin McVoy,

van, Daniel I. Bradley and II. B.

the score tally, the management said
that they had tied, and an extra short
race of twenty birds was ordered to
decide the winner Singularly enough,
it was another tie, all breaking
straight.
Then darkness had set in and they
agreed to draw numbers, with the re-
suit that they finished as named, Nc
Noy being the premier shooter Of the
day. ,lis actual score was l47 out of
