PIGEON SHOOTING.

"Little Sure Shot" Defeated in a Fifty Birds'

Match by W. Graham.

At the Merchantville Driving Park, near Camden, yesterday afternoon Miss Annie Oakley and William Graham, the English pigeon shot, decided a match of fifty birds each, Hurlingham rules, for a purse of $200. Miss Oakley shot at twenty-five yards' rise. About 400 sportsmen were present. The weather was intensely cold and the birds strong flyers, a number of them falling dead just out of bounds. Graham won, killing thirty-six to Miss Oakley's thirty-three birds.

The summary is as follows:-

Miss Oakley-0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0,
0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1,
0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1.--Total, 33.

W. Graham-0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0,
