Thanks Dr. Drew. Those are great illustrations...they were on the Reilly line at one time but somehow disappeared. Those armed spectators outside the grounds were there to shoot pigeons which escaped. Hurlingham even adopted special rules for a pigeon which might be going to fall within the boundary but which a bystander subsequently shot. There must have been shot raining all over the place at those competitions.

The advertisement, has to be after February 1868 and before August 1885...it mentions rue Scribe, and after 1875 (mentions choke bores)..
