At tho recent International Shooting Tournament at Monaco, near Nice, in Italy, Mr. Lorliiard won the Grand Prix aud Mr. Herbert tno Prix d'Essal. and a discussion as to the reiatlvo menu of these performances led to tne present match, which is for ?150 aside.

Tne conditions ol tne march, which will be siiot under llie ruies 01 tlia London Gun Club, are liny birds each from 11 vj traps, Uvo yards apart, Hum yurtisriso, and tlie use of both barrels.
