The Newburgh Tournament. 



The West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association, of Newburgh, N. 

 Y., held its annual fall tournament on Oct. ,9-11. The shoot was held 

 on the club's grounds at Gidney's Hotel, some three miles from New- 

 burgh, J. P. Gidney, proprietor of the hotel, acting in his usual satis- 

 factory manner as caterer for the occasion. At the grounds them- 

 selves the club has made some alterations which may be classed as 

 decided improvements, chief among them is the leveling of the 

 ground between the score and the traps (both live-bird and inanimate) . 



The ciub was favored with three days of very good tournament 

 weather. The first day it was perhaps a trifle too cold for abselute 

 comfort while shooting targets, but the second day was all that could 

 be desired. The third day, live-bird day, was made to order, a strong 

 ■wind aiding the birds in their fluht. The number of entries in the 

 target events was not up to the Newburgh club's usual mark. Several 

 reasons may be cited for ths comparatively small attendance: the 

 Beading shoot, the open season on game, etc. 



Among those present from a distance were: Capt. A. W. Money, of 

 the American E. 0. Powder Company: G. E. Grieff, of New York, 

 representing Von Lengerke & Detmold and Bchultze powder; Neaf 

 Apgar, of Evona, N. Y., shooting Walsrode powder to the front on 

 the second day; E. D. Fulford, of Utica, N. Y., who carried off the 

 $•30 premium offered for the best general average by scoring 295 out 

 of 340 with his Greener hammer gun, U. M. C. factory-loaded ammu- 

 nition and Schultze powder; J. T. Mascroft, the "Mayor of Sutton," 

 Mass., who is just now shooting a great gait; V. D. Kenerson and F, 

 N. Hoyle, of Worcester, Mass,; W. P. Rayland (Rags), of Rame, N. 

 Y.; Dr. Mosher and M. F. Robarts, of Rupert, Vt.; Cramer, of Sauger- 

 ties, N. Y., etc. As the club was using empire targets and traps, 

 Charlie Hebbard, of the Empire Target Company was, of course, on 

 hand to see that things were running smoothly. 



The cashier's department was run by the Newburgh expert, the 

 president of the club, David Brown, who sees to it that the boys get 

 all the money that is coming to them and that the newspapers get 

 their score sheets in good shape. W. C. Gibb, who has occupied the 

 position of secretary to the club ever since its organization on March 

 1, 1891, was squad hustler; on the third day he was working hard all 

 the time, taking entries for the live-bird events. H. C. Higginson, 

 vice-president of the club; John a. Wood, captain and treasurer, and 

 ex-Captain George Taggart, all aided in keeping things going. Twenty- 

 one events on the first day (10 programme events and 11 extras) and 

 17 events on the second day (10 events regularly scheduled and 7 ex- 

 tras) show that no time was lost between whiles and that everybody 

 had all the shooting they wanted. 



The club donated $50 in gold as premiums for the best general 

 averages made in all the target events on the programme, the $50 

 being divided into five moneys, $20. $15, $5, $5 and $5. Fulford won 

 first, the others falling as shown in the following table: 



Shot at. Broke. Average. Premium. 



Fulford 340 295 86.7 $20 



Taylor 340 291 85.5 15 



Mascroft 840 288 84.7 5 



Kenerson 340 288 84.7 5 



Stansbrough 340 277 81.4 5 



Apgar led in the averages for the second day, losing only 17 targets 

 out of 170 in the programme events and a total of 24 out of 225 shot at 

 during the day, making his average for the day a fraction under 90 

 per cent. In comparing the averages made at this shoot with others 

 of recent date, cognizance must be taken of the varied nature of the 

 programme. Jimmie Taylor's average is a good one. considering 

 how little practice he gets and that his long suit is live birds. 



The tables given below show the scores made in every target event 

 shot during the tournament:

The programme for this day was identical with that for the first 

 day. Nos. 1-10 are the programme events. Nos. 11-17 being the ex- 

 tras. All the extras were at unknown angles with the exception of 

 Extra No. 1 (No. 11 in the above table). 



Third Day. 



The third day was given up to live-bird events, the programme call- 

 ing for three events: No. 1, 5 birds, $5; No. 2, 7 birds, $7.50; No. 3, 10 

 birds, $10. 



Among the newcomers were several members of the New Utrecht 

 Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y.: W. Shields, L. T. Duryea, C. Furgue- 

 son, Jr., A. Eddy, Chris. Meyer, J. N, Meyer and W. F. Sykes; F. L. 

 Train, a member of the Cobweb Gun Club, New York city, was also 

 present. The above delegation, added to the shooters already at New- 

 burgh, made a good entry list. The birds were only a moderate lot, a 

 fact that annoyed the management exceedingly, as it had taken pains 

 to nave good birds on hand for this tournament. A strong wind 

 helped at times to make those bird 4 tna t wanted to fly really hard ones 

 to find. The scores show that James Taylor, a member of the local 

 club, and E. D. Fulford shot consistently well throughout the day. 



A start "was made in the morning with an extra event— 5 birds, $3— 

 nine entries being secured. Of this number four went straight, while 

 second money went to one man who had the good fortune to lose his 

 last bird dead out of bounds. Scores: Apgar, Wood, Money and FuL 

 ford 5; Hoyle 4, Kenerson and Stanbrough 3, Mascroft and Dickson 2. 



A second extra, same as above, had ten entries. Scores: Roberts, 

 Mosher, Arnold and Money 5; Dickson, Wood, Hoyle, Taylor, Fulford 

 and Kenerson 4. Although thare were three moneys, there was no 

 dropping for place, each one of the men killing four birds, scoring 

 their last pigeon; thus there was no claimant for third money. 



The first programme event was then commenced, sixteen entries 

 being obtained. In both this and the second event the moneys were 

 cut up so that straights were worth less than the amount of the 

 entrance fee. In event No. 3 Fulford had the luck to be the only 

 straight, while those with nine were so numerous that they each re- 

 ceived less than 50# of the amount they had paid in. The full scores 

 are as follows;

Trap Around Buffalo. 



THE AUDT7BON8 PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR'S STATE SHOOT. 



It may seem somewhat premature at this early date to say any- 

 thing m regard to the preparations now being made by the members 

 of the Audubon Gun Club, of Buffalo. N. Y., with a view to the suc- 

 hS?rt U ^°? r TS e ^ °f £ h - e ^ew York State shoot. On the other 

 hand, the fact that the club is already getting things in shape is a guar- 

 antee that it will leave nothing undone to make the shoot one of the 

 greatest successes ever held in this State, and as such it is well worth 

 noting. 



On our way from the West on Wednesday, Oct. 9, we were fortunate 

 " 1 ™ em £ r £. b 'e t0 stop off at Buffalo long enough to make the acquaint- 

 ¥ r *.- E >^- Bmlth v the energetic secretary of the club, and of 

 several of his fellow-members. The Audubons, by the way, number 

 about 125 members in good standing, many of them being very prom- 

 inent residents of the city of Buffalo. v 



The plan for next year's shoot was outlined to us, and without 

 ?u vm ?u a ? ythlng away ifc is safe t0 9ft y thafc tn08 e who attend will find 

 that their pleasure and comfort have been carefully considered in all 

 the preparations. Three sets of traps will be used, each set being 

 housed m a manner similar to those at Rochester, N. Y. It is proposed 

 to have a separate cashier's office for each set of traps, to 6c Tway 

 with any chance of confusion in that all-important department The 

 distance between each set of traps will be 30ft., thus avoiding the 

 trouble that is bound to ensue when No. 5 of one set overlaps 0" verv 

 nearly overlaps, No. 1 of the other set. Two of the new trap houses

 The old club houae, too, will be relegated to the background, and will 

 be used as a storehouse its place being taken by a newer and far more 

 commodious budding which will, like the trap houses, be modeled in 

 all probability somewhat after the home of the Rochester Rod and 

 Gun Club Some attention will also be paid to the grounds themselves- 

 bumps will be cut off, and holes will be filled up. ^emseives, 

 All the above preparations will cost money, and plenty of it but we 

 are assured on capital authority that nobody need worry about the 

 money being expended by the Audubon Gun Club upon the improve- 

 right 1S now making to its grounds and building. The club's all

 old is one of the old-time shooters, gun below the elbow almost, sSl he 

 held his own yery creditably, and had a good show for first money alone

 older generation of shooters; the puller seemed to have it in for him

 slight handicap on this occasion, as the wind was blowing brisklv 

 from No 1 across the traps. Charles killed 1G straight in gold shape 

 but fell to pieces on his 17th and 19th birds, the lattfr fallilg dead out 

 of bounds when it should have been pulverized. Dr. Daniels a dodu- 

 lar member of the club, shot a strange gun and suffered in conse- 

 quence. The best features of the afternoon's sport were the many 

 good second barrel kills made by Heinold and Kirkover, and the re- 

 trieving of Blmky. 1 u " ,0,e 



Blinky deserves a little paragraph all to himself. He is not as 

 might be supposed a dog; he is simply one of Buffalo's rising genera- 

 £££, W Si*** ? he l0V ? °I ?Port very deeply imbedded in hit slender 

 body. His nickname is derived from the fact that he has but one eve 

 his right eye having been destroyed by a stray shot corn which found 

 its way through the screen behind which Blinky was performing C 

 duty as trapper boy. Notwithstanding this handicap Blinky can hold 

 his own and no boy attempts to make off with a bird that had fallen 

 dead out of bounds if Blinky is in pursuit. He is an institution, and a 

 paying one, when Philadelphia squabs are so much apiece

European Shooters at the Bosnia Tournament. 



Cincinnati O., Oct. 7 -The first international pigeon tournament, 

 held at Bosnia, in Austria-Hungary, beginning Sept. 9, is now over 

 It was in every way successful, there were forty-five subscribers in 

 the Grand Prix event. The prize of 25,000 francs, together with the 

 added entrance money, was divided into four parts, each of which 

 would make a delightful surplus in one's pocket First prize 16 920 

 francs, with objet d'art, was won by Signor Guidicini with 17 pigeons- 

 second prize. 6.200 francs, won by Count Gazoli, who grassed IVbirdR- 

 third prize, 3,960 francs, won by Signor Riva with 12 birds; fourth 

 prize, 2,;2C francs, was divided between Signors Galletti and Calari 

 each of whom had 11 birds to their credit. ' 



The weather was exceptionally fine, and the birds were a grand lot 

 The arrangements were all that could be desired and a fine time was 

 had. At the close of the tournament a shooting expedition was made 

 into the marshes, the sport including hawking parties The town was 

 handsomely decorated and illuminated. There was only one American 

 Mr, Binder, but he unfortunately did not carry off any of the honors' 



There seems to be plenty or room in Europe for our shoteun 

 shooters next year. The list of important and desirable tournaments 

 is quite extensive. Some of the most important are- Monte Carlo 

 beginning in December; Cairo, Egypt, under the auspices of the 

 Khedive, beginning about Jan. 10, full details will be found in this 

 paper in a few weeks. Then come along in succession tournaments 

 at Spa, England, Rome, Berlin, Paris and, closing the circuit at 

 Bosnia in September. '
