The Dayton Team Won. 



Freehold, N. J., Oct. 12.— Twelve-men teams from Dayton and 

 New Brunswick, N. J., met a similar number of men from the home 

 club this afternoon. The team races between these three clubs have 

 been very frequent, but the results are usually close enough to war- 

 rant any amount of interest in a future contest. The Brunswick Gun 

 Olub arrived two men short, so it was agreed that those two men, 

 Randall and Blish, should shoot off their scores at the next meeting 

 of the clubs. 



The men from Dayton, "farmers," as they term themselves, made 

 the excellent total of 305 out of 360 shot at, the conditions of 

 the race being 30 targets per man, unknown angles. P. Emmons 

 and F. Van Dyke both made clean scores for the Dayton team, 

 while three other members rolled up totals of 27. Sperling 

 and Voorhees led the Brunswick team with 28 each. Oakley being sec- 

 ond with 27, G. S. McAipin and H. H. Stevens, the secretary of the 

 club, coming next with 26 to their credit. For Freehold, Burtis and 

 Ivins scored 27, Hall and Snyder making 26 each. 



The totals show that if the two Brunswick men yet to shoot break 

 straight, their club will win by three targets The Dayton men. how- 

 ever, do not feel at all nervous. The scores were: 

 Dayton.

Blish and Randall, two members of the Brunswick Gun Club's 

 team, will shoot their scores in this race at the next shoot. 



New York German Gun Club. 



The New York German Gun Club held its regular monthly shoot on 

 Wednesday, Oct. 16. There was a good attendance of members, eight- 

 een putting down their names for the club shoot. The weather was 

 nice and bright, while there was enough air stirring to make the birds 

 lively. 



Four months ago the above-named gun club took in as a member L. 

 H. Schortemeier, a gentleman whose name is enrolled on the roster of 

 more gun clubs in the vicinity of New York city than any other two 

 men. Schorty is a good shot at either live birds or targets, and has 

 proved to the members of that club that he can win a badge in about 

 as quick a time as the conditions will permit. The club contest is at 

 8 live birds; three wins are necessary before the first badge becomes 

 the property of any one shooter. Schorty has shot for it four times 

 and has now recorded the three wins required, winning the badge out- 

 right on the above date. The first shoot he took part in was a cinch 

 for Schorty. The rules call for a new member to stand at 21yds. ; even 

 with such an advantage, he had to hustle to win from Dr. G. V. Hud- 

 son, who was conceding him 9yds., as demanded by the rules, the 

 Doctor having two wins to his credit at that time. The next shoot 

 resulted also in a win for Schorty, who was handicapped at the 25yds. 

 mark. In the third shoot which he took part in his handicap was 

 80yds.; John Schlicht won this time, Schorty 's last bird dropping 

 dead out of bounds. 



That brings us up to to-day's match. Schorty, at 30yds., tied with 

 Bondon, who stood at 21yds. Ties are shot off at 3 birds, then miss 

 and out, with increasing handicap. Schorty won by killing his fourth 

 bird from the 33yds mark. The scores were as follows: 



L H Schortemeier (30). .12222212—8 J Schlicht (30) 21102202—6

The was rather a small attendance on account of the day being raw 

 and cold and threatening rain; but those who did come out enjoyed 

 the afternoon hugely. There is a shoot held here every Wednesday 

 and open to all. so if there chance to be any shooters stopping over in 

 Buffalo that day we would be pleased to have them call.

The Elizabeth Bi-Monthly. 



The Elizabeth, N. J., Gun Club held its fourth bi-monthly shoot on 

 Oct. 16-17. The weather on both days was all that could be asked at 

 this time of the year. The second day, live-bird day, was of the 

 "made-to-order" kind, a brisk wind blowing all day and aiding the 

 birds very materially. The attendance on both days was decidedly 

 encouraging. 



Twentv-seven shooters took part in the target events on the first 

 day, 2,160 targets being thrown during the day. The four best aver- 

 ages were as follows:

 shooting of the day, apart from winning first money alone in the big 

 event with 24 out of 25. He missed his second bird in that event, but 

 killed his last 23 straight. In all he scored 39 out of 42 shot at. Aaron 

 Woodruff made the same record, going straight in the two first events, 

 but dropping three in the 25-bird race. Eddie Hill went straight in this 

 event up to the close of the 19th round; he then dropped his 20th and 

 85th birds. The purse was divided into four moneys, class shooting, 

 the scores paying as follows: 24 paid $48, 23 paid $7.20,22 paid SI 2 

 and21 paid $4. Every shooter but one got money out of the purse.

All ties divided. These scores are rather low because the boys have 

 allowed their guns to get rusty of late. However, there is talk of re- 

 organizing the gun club, and then |the boys intend to make great 

 scores at the bluerock traps. L. S. Hansell, 



Cook County Trap-Shooters' League. 



LAST SHOOT OF THE SEASON, 



Chicago, 111., Oct. 19.— The closing contest of the Cook County 

 Trap-Shooters' League took place to-day on the grounds of the Gar- 

 field Gun Club. The weather was cold, chilling a shooter clear 

 through before he had finished his score, the wind too was high, 

 makiDg the targets hard to hit. The shooting of the Eureka team in 

 that high wind was of the championship order, as it broke 134 out of 

 150 at unknown angles, or an average of 89 3, scoring the highest 

 number broken in a league shoot to date. ■ The Garfield team was 

 second with 122 breaks, an average of 81.3. 



Tne league contests at targets are closed for the season, but it will 

 probably have some live-bird shoots provided for in its constitution.
