A New Championship.

The announcement of the team match between Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania attracted some fifty spectators to the grounds of the Shooting Club, at Watertown, yesterday afternoon. Barring the wind, the conditions were favorable enough. The wind, however, was a gusty one, blowing directly across the range, and it proved a puzzler to the visitors. The match was begun at 3 o'clock, when the first shot for Harvard was fired. At end of the first round, Harvard had a lead of six birds, which at the end of the second was increased to seven, and then then to 13 in the third, 17 in the fourth, and 25 in fifth and last.

For Harvard, the best work was done by Clyde, who was applauded for breaking 14 birds straight, and Austin and Mead, who each shot clean rounds of five birds. Randolph and Chew did the bulk of the work for Pennsylvania.

It is but fair to say that the visiting team were handicapped by lack of practice at clay birds, as it is their custom to shoot live pidgeons. They have also been practicing at open traps, and were considerably bothered by the screen used on the Harvard grounds.
