A lircrzru.-0n Thursday noonlast there was considerable excitement and amusement ereetetd near Gould's cooper shop, Main street, by the Sebes of a ]ticking mare, belonging to a fanner uer.r Dashwood. At the point men- tioned it cotnmeticed to kick witb the vigor of a t,vo year old mule, and `n a short time it s`•cceeded in nnhitohing the tngs from the whiffletree. Tire intelligent beast's toil had an ominous twitch, and upon the slightest provocation her heels would mark an angle of ninety degrees, descending and ascending with a velocity that had to be seen to be appreciated. Whipping made her move, but it wvas upward, and as tate farmer was not going in that direc- tioa jest then, he elite not regent the move- lnnnt with the liveliest satisfaction, wherein he differed from the people, who had gathered by the dozen, anal applauded every kick. After the performaneo had proceeded for about two hours, Mr. Crowley, an old horr'eman, came along and running n stout line through her mouth aucl reuud her lower jaw, he gave the mare a few jerks around a neighboring yard, .4. townsman hid MR ltcrson behind a eouveni• ent. toying post, and very carefully and slowly hitched the traces, the farmer mounted the wagon, andholding on to the rope as a drown- ing man clings to a straw, drove away, the only sign of rebellion left in the ;mare being the switch of the tail and a springy movement in ]ler hind quarters, which gradually benatne hiss perceptible as the interesting entertain, naentpassed 'into distance, The farmer looked as if he had passed through a shower of mud. He said very little, but probably thought in very strong langnage. Sinew Nil lietrrorr.•—Tato much talked of trap and handle shooting match, at thirty birds each. betweon Mr. F. G, Simpson ,and Me. T. Bissett, both of iixeter,toolr place on Saturday last, Sidney 'Fairborn trapped and handled for lir. Sampson, and ,.Wescott for Mr. Bissett. The mateb :commenced at 2 o'clock sharp. ' There was a large number of people present from town and country, who appeared to be particularly interested in the match. The wind was 'a Iitt]e High. The trap was laid at twenty-one garde, the bounds were eighty yards. Mr. .Bissett toed the rail first, but et tate third bird he was unfortunate enough to mise, Simpson killed the first nine birds, and was then two 'ahead of Bissett. At the four. teenth bird ho wee four ahead; when Bissett killed four in sueeession, during which opera- , THE TIMES DECEMBER 111 1879 eighteenth bird. the scorete were even, 'The nineteenth Said twentieth wore missed by Bis - sed and the twenty-tltirel and twenty-fourth by Simpson, ,vilieli again placed diem oven. 'A7io oticiteiuent was very high from tine point to the end of the inaten, andevery one orowd- eel to apositioat where the birds could be semi when thoy left tho trap.Out of the retraining. six birds, Simpson eueeeeded in killing four and Bissett three, whIeil gavo the mach to Simpson by ono bine. The scores stood,Siutp- eon, 21 ; Bissett, 20, In reality Situpson kfl. led 23 birds, and Bissett 21. One of I3isset's fell at eighty -too yards, and one of Simpson's about ono hundred yards, while auothor, after being peppered with shot, flew away to a 0011 sitierable distance, :and in about ten minuree flew back into the ground and, alighting, died within the bounds. But of course ` none of those three could be allowed. John Sanders aot- ed as refree ; W. Bissett as judge for T. Bissett ansa Dr. Sutton, of Olauleboye, as judge for Simpson. It is In only fair to Mr. Bissett to state that while shooting in the morning he was unfortunate euougtt to break his gun, and was compelled. to shoot with Mr. Simpson's whether this made any difference, no ore coned tell, but is only fair to give him the bone. At, if any, of the oxphtuation, Tho following is the score:— • Simpson— 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 010111100110011, Bissett— 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1. 1 0 0 1 0 1 111 0011 11.01 0101 Although the scorn looks small, it was not so, considering the splendid class of birds which wero shot at. They ,yore of a lot seldom seen at pigeon matches. At the conolasiou of the match, the victor was loudly cheered. Very little money ohanged hands, the two sten be- ing considered about equal In the evening; an oyster sapper was given by the friends of F. G. Simpson at the Central Hotel, to which those interested in both sitter were invited. There is a return match talked of, in the event of whioit Simpson's friends express themselves wi,lirig to hack him for any amount.
