Editor Forest and Stream: 
Tt has been decided to hold a convention and tournament of the 
New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association on Sept. 16, 17, 18 and 19, 
1864. The convention will be called at the rooms of the Jersey City 
Heights Gun Club, Ruempler’s Hotel, 598 Newark avenue, right oppo- 
site the Court House, Jersey Ciby Heights, at 2 P. M.. on Sept, 16; to 
elect new officers, receive propositions for new memberships and 
transact all necessary bnsiness. One or more deélezates from all 
clubs members, of the organization, are expected to be present. The 
tournament will be held at the Jersey City Heights Gun Club grounds 
at Marion, Jersey City, N. J..on the 17th, 18th. and 19th of Septem- 
ber. Owing to the impossibility to procure wild birds during the last 
three or four years, no tournament has been heli by this Assoviation 
since 1880, and it has now been decided to hold this shoot at clay- 
pigeons and tame birds. 
The secretaries of all clubs helonging to the Association and others 
in the State are requested to at once send their present address to the 
undersigned as above. Respectfully, 
? J. yon LENGERKR,

Ross won medal in shoot off. 
A shoot at the new “blackbird target” was quite interesting, and 
demonstrated that they are not so easy to “get on” as clay-birds, 
Tts flight ig more like a quail’s, and after leaving the trap eonrinues 
about the same rate of speed until it alights on the ground 50 to b0yds,

TENNESSEE, 
A PROPOSED NEW YORK CLUB.—To all sporismen in New York 
City and wicinity; During the Inter-State tournament at the Metro-— 
politan Base Ball Grounds last week, a number of local sportsmen 
spoke to me with reference to obtaining said grounds throughout the 
year for the use of loval shooters. With ils object in view I ad- 
dressed the managers of the grounds. I think the same can be 
obtained when not in use for base ball matches (which wil! be yery 
seldom as the grounds are too small for this purpose), at a yearly 
rental of $500, and a fixed sum per day when tournaments (with 
admission charges) are held. Sportsmen hereabouts should not lose 
this opportunity. We suggest that they form ‘‘The Metropolitan 
Olay-Pigeon Club,” to seeure the grounds on the following basis; if 
sufficient is not thus realized at ouce to pay the rental, we will guar- 
antee same; Membership open to any shooter per annum, $5; shoot- 
ing privilege per month, $15 single admission to shoot, 25 cents. All 
profits to go to club. There will probably be four or five shooting 
days per week on an ayerage. Any gun club already organized can 
make arrangements to shoop on fixed days at about $150 per annum 
with this new proposed club, All sporismen interested are requested 
to send their names and addresses to the editor of the Pormsr anp 
STREAM, stating whether they will subscribe as yearly members. 
When fifty subscribers are obtained, a meeting of same will be called 
for complete organization, These grounds are so accessible, there 
is no reason by seni should not be “kept up” here throughont 
the winter.—J, H. Broom
