The exhibition game with Brown proved so attractive that on Wednesday last, only an even dozen of contestants faced the traps for the first competition in the new match. No better weather could have been desired than that with which the shooters were favored, yet for some reason, the scores were hardly up to the usual high average, though the double-bird shooting was fair. The winning scores of each day are made up from the aggregate of 10 singles and five pairs of doubles, and, for purposes of comparison, these scores are given separately below.
SINGLES. 10 clay birds: 18 yards: 5 angles. First, J. D. Bradley, "88, 8; second, F. S. Palmer, '87, J. D. Fredericksen, '88, 7 each; third, W. H. Slocum, '86, 6.
DOUBLES. 5 pairs clay birds: 18 yards. First, F. S. Mead, '87, 8; second, F. S. Palmer, '87, 6: third, J. D. Bradlee, '86, F. B. Austin, '86, R. R. Robinson, Sp. S., 5 each.
