The Shotgun.

A large number of spectators accompanied the members of the Shooting Club to Watertown, yesterday afternoon, to witness the team match for the class championship. The grounds and traps were in good condition, and, but for a heavy north west wind, everything favored high scoring.

Considerable interest has been felt in this contest, and before it became known that the seniors were to give handicaps to the underclassmen, odds were freely offered that eighty-six would win the cups. As it was, the shooting was extremely close, and the senior team barely made good its allowance to the juniors. The sophomore team was short one man, and by agreement of the team captains, was allowed to substitute an extra round by the three members present.
