Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 21.— The three days' tournament of the 

 Hudson Rifle Club, of (his city, ended last night after a most success-

 Empire Rifle Club, who scored 893 out of a possible 225. L. P. Han- 

 sen, of the Excelsior Rifle Club of Jersey City, won first prize on the

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 

 these columns, also any news notes they map care to have printed. 

 Ties in all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. 

 Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 318 

 Broadway, New York. 



We have been asked by one or two correspondents to explain once 

 more our suggestion for arriving at a true championship of the world 

 at targets As our suggestion has been adopted by the American 

 E C. Powder Company, and will be carried out at its tournament in 

 the first week of May, we gladly give the following explanation: Dur- 

 ing the four days' shoot there will be a series of 400 targets shot at as 

 follows: 100 unknown angles. 100 expert rules, 100 reversed order and 

 50 pairs. These 400 targets will be divided into 16 events, 12 of them 

 at 25 targets each, the pairs being divided into two 15 pair events and 

 two 10 pair events. Etch of these 16 events will be separate sweep- 

 stake events, with an entrance fee of (^ay) $3 each, probably one 

 event at each style of shooting being shot off each day. From the 

 purse in each of these events, including of course the added money, 5 

 or 10 per cent, could be deducted to form a fund to be divided es may 

 seem fit by the management of the tournament among the three, four 

 or Ave men making the highest general averages in the above 400 tar- 

 gets, a cup emblematic of the world's championship at targets being 

 also presented to the man making the highest average in that contest. 

 We claim, and we think our e'aiin is a sound one, that the man who 

 succeeds in making the highest averase at the 400 targets shot as sug- 

 gested is worthy of the title o£ c'lampion, particularly as he will 

 meet on that occasion the best sn the land. Of course, the above is 

 only a rough sketch of the plan, but we understand that the idea will 

 4>e carried out in the main as we have given it. 



PaulR Litzke, our Little Rock, Ark., correspondent, sends us the 

 following: "The match for the live-bird championship trophy of Kansas, 

 between W. W, Mcllbany, of Weir City, and E. W. Hoffman, of Galena, 

 which has been announced to take place at Weir City, Kan., Nov. 21, 

 had to be indefinitely postponed, owing to the fact that Hoffman is 

 critically ill with typhoid pneumonia, As it will be some time before 

 he will be sufficiently recovered to be able to shoot the match, Mc- 

 Ilhany has instructed the stakeholder to return to Hoffman his $50 

 forfeit money. Mcllhany is now open to challenges from any shooter 

 residing in Kansas; anyone desiring to wrest the trophy from him has 

 but to send his forfeit ($50) to Dr. King, president of the Business 

 Men's Gun Club, Weir City, Kan., and he will be accommodated. The 

 conditions are 50 live birds per man, American Association rules." 



It seems that we made an error last week in our "WopsoDonock hear 

 story," locating the death ojC the bear between the hotel and Lookout 

 Point. It seems that the correat location was "just back of the Wop- 

 sononock shooting grounds, a spot familiar to very many trap-shoot- 

 ing readers of Forest and Stream." Although we are well acquainted 

 with that tection of the Alleghenies, we are still in the dark as to just 

 where bruin met his death. Anyway, he was killed, and Billy Bell and 

 Kate, his setter, were close up at the killing, which are the main 

 points of the story. Owing to the negligence of some employee of 

 Adams Express Company, the box containing the pelt got side- 

 tracked; wnen found it was valueless, having been irreparably 

 spoiled, and Billy is now after that company for the value of a hide 

 that was covered with a coat of hair wonderfully long and as black as 

 ebony. 



The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., has taken a lease of 

 the grounds at Marion, N. J., where the club holds its regular shoots. 

 These grounds, known as "Al. Heritage's grounds," are easy of ac- 

 cess, the P. R. R. running frequent trains which stop at Marion, 

 while trolleys from the Jersey City ferries of the P. R. R. run close to 

 the grounds. Parties d* siring to obtain the use of these grounds for 

 private matches, team races or tournaments can get all necessary in- 

 iormation regarding same, by writing to Dr. P. Fletcher, president 

 Endeavor Gun Club, 23 Cottage street, Jersey City, or to J. A. Crevel- 

 ing, secretary, 371 New York avenue, Jersey City. 



We have received from John C. Shallcross, secretary of the Key- 

 stone Shooting League, a programme for the day's shooting on Dec 

 7, when the AU-Pmladelphia vs. Diamond State team race is shot, 

 which differs slightly from that which we gave last week. The revised 

 edition is as follows: i, 10 targets, known angles, $t; '3, 10 targets, 

 unknown angles, $1; 3, 15 targets, known angles, .Hit; 4, 15 targets, 

 unknown angles, $1 ; 5, 20 targets, known angles, $1.50; 6, 10 targets, 

 unknown angles, $1; 7, 10 targets, known angles, $1; 8, 20 targets, 

 unknown angles, $2; 9,10 targets, known angles, $1; 10, 10 targets, 

 unknown angles. $1 50. Class shooting; 12 entries and under, 3 

 moneys; over 12 entries, 4 moneys. 



A letter from our Altoona, Pa , correspondent, dated Nov. 21, says: 

 "This week finds nearly everybody out hunting, and if all goes w T ell I 

 expect soon to he there myself. Ford. Van Dyke joins a party of us 

 next week." The party referred to has leased the sporting rights of 

 a large tract of good hunting country in Fulton county. Pa., and has 

 erected a comfortable cabin ia the midst of their shooting territory. 

 Ruffed grouse are generally to tn found there in numbers sufficient 

 to make it well worth the trouble experienced in a day's walk after 

 these gamy birds. The section also contains some good deer country, 

 so that Feid. wi 1 probably bave an opportunity of finding out what he 

 knows about buck fever. 



On Nov. 16 the Marlborough, N. Y , and the Peekskill, N. Y., gun 

 clubs tried conclusions in a six-men team race on the grounds of the 

 Marlboroueh-Club. Each team shot at 150 targets. 25 targets per 

 man, the home team winning by 5 breaks after a very close contes'. 

 The scores were: Marlbo ougft— Frost 24, Vail 23, Woolsev 22, Wyatt 

 22, Bingham 21, Rhodes 20; total 132. Peekskill— H. P. Dain 23, Dr. 

 Mason 23, Raher 22, J. B. Halsted 21, Perry 20, Loder 18; total 127. I; 

 was against, the Marlborough team that the Peekskill men made their 

 big record about a couple of years ago. 



With a very general exodus of Northern shooters to the Southern 

 States for field shooting, there is naturally a lull in both live-bird and 

 inanimate shooting circles just now. From now on until the first 

 week of. May iu 1890 there will be little to keep our trap columns going, 

 with the exception of the Sin Antonio midwinter shoot and the Grand 

 American Handicap, the latter event coming off in the vicinity of New 

 York during the first week of April. 



Mr. David Brown, president of the West Newburgh Gun and Rifle 

 Association, of Newburgh, N. Y., writes us That his club claims 

 the following dates in 1896: April 30, May 1-2, spring tournament; Oct. 

 7-9, fall tournament. At botn these tournaments the club will add 

 money to the purses. These semi-annual tournaments of the New- 

 burgh club are always pleasant and sociable gatherings; with the 

 attraction of added money they will become still more popular. The 

 Newburghe: s can run a shoot too. 



The Buffalo, N. Y , Courier of Nov. 15 says: "The members of the 

 Audubon Gun Club have decided not to build the contemplated club 

 house at present, believing they can use their money to better advan- 

 age during the State shoot, which will be held under their auspices >n 

 June next. A small shed for protection from rain and storm is beii g 

 built at Audubon Park. Large tents will be used at the shoot." 



In a personal letter to u% dated Nov 16, Irby Bennett, writing from 

 the Atlanta Exposition, says: "Our mutual friend, Elmer Shane'-, is 

 down here looking after the exhibit of the U. M. O. Co. I can sae his 

 bald head shining at me from where I sit." Since the Interstate Asso- 

 ciation started on its work in tbeSouth it saems pretty hard to keep 

 Elmer up North, particularly in the Smoky City. 



The two days' tournament of the Newark, N. J., Gun Club, Dec. 4-5, 

 will be held at Erb's grounds. On the second day there will be a 

 special event shot under the following conditions: 25 live birds per 

 man, $10 entrance, birds extra. Events of this class are very popular 

 in New Jersey, consequently a large entry list may be confidently ex- 

 pected. 



In regard to the San Antonio shoot, Oscar Guessaz (Texas Field) 

 writes us that the dates have been altered from Jan. 9-11 to Jan. 7-11. 

 With $2,000 added money, this means a big five days' shooting at San 

 Antonio, Tex. , just when shooting affairs are at their lowest ebb. 



The Fairview Gun Club, of Lancaster, Pa., will hold a two days' 

 tournament, on its grounds, on Dee. 12-13. On the first day (Dec. 12) 

 all events will be at targets; the second day live birds will be used, an 

 attractive programme being arranged for both days. 



A tournament will be held at Henry, III., on Dec. 8-4, under the aus- 

 pices of the Henry Gun Club. Both Jive birds and targets will be 

 used. Further information may be obtained by addressing the secre- 

 tary of the club, Mr. A. Bacon. 



Stanstead's system of dividing purses in trap-shooting contests is 

 given elsewhere with our comments on the same. Send iu your sys- 

 tems and criticise those already advanced. That's the only way we 

 can ever heps to successfully cope with this question. 



H. B Meyers, secretary-treasurer of the Illinois State Sp ortsmen'a 

 Association, writes us that the Association will hold its twenty-second 

 annual tournament on the usual dates chosen for those annual affairs 

 —the first week of June. 



Fred R Eaton, of Olean, N. Y., has sent ua a notice of the sudden 

 death of Hollis W. Moore, of that city. As a rifleman and as a trap- 

 shot Mr. Moore was well and favorably known in the State of New 

 York. 



Forest and Stream's tournament squad pals are evidently growing 

 in popularity. Managers of tournaments at which they have been 

 used write us that "they are just what we needed."

Sudden Death of H. W. Moore, of Glean. N. Y. 



Olean, N Y., Nov. 14 —Hollis William Moore, one of our most re- 

 spected and prominent business men, died suddenly to-day. Deceased 

 was one of the men that, organ zed the Olean Sportsmen's Club about 

 fourteen years ago, and was at the time of his death president of the 

 club. The club has bean ably assisted by bim in maintaining its posi- 

 tion as a first-class club, made up of our best citizens. The club held 

 a live bird shoot a short time since at which he was present, entering 

 into the sport with his usual zeal 



He wa9 born at North Leverett, Mass., on Nov. 1, 1832, the son of 

 Capt. Loveh* Moore, of that place. He came to Olean in April, 1855, 

 and soon after married Rosina L Smith, of Cuba, N. Y., who survives 

 him. He also leaves a daughter, E la, their only child. 



At the time of his death he was manager of the International Steam 

 Power Co. The company manufactured the high pressure water tube 

 sa'ety boilers, invented and patented by him. He was placing one of 

 them in position on State street, in this city, when he died. He also 

 Invented and patented the black giant sheer, punch and upset, that 

 have been sold from California to Russia. He al;o invented and pat- 

 ented th? Hollis ram's horn spring for carriages. He also had other 

 valuable patents. He conducted a large carriage manufactory here 

 for years. He was one of the first members of the Eagle Engine Co. 

 No, 1, our first fire engine, in 1860. 



He was a first-cla^s rifle shot and a good trap shot, and one of the 

 bsst mechanics in the State. I came to Olean the same month that he 

 did, and we have always been close friends and have spent many 

 h ippy hours together with the gun. He was a constant reader of 

 Forest and Stream, Fred R Eaton. 



Buffalo Trap-Shooters. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 20.— The weather to-day was not what we like 

 for trap-3hoot.ing; it was cold and raw, with snow on the ground. 

 Copt. A. C. Anson, of the Chicago Colts, was a visitor at. our grounds; 

 he is playing at the Star Theater here. The first bird ha drew in No. 

 1 was a corker that beat him out; his second was lost owing to his 

 neglect of the safety. His uextloss was his second bird in No. 2, which 

 fell dead out of bounds. After this piece of bad luck he ran 17 

 straight, losing the last faird he shot at dead out of bounds; this bird 

 was an incomer that was hit with both barrels, but kept coming, An- 

 son trying to make one of his famous first-base grand-stand catches, 

 jumping 24ft. in the air, but making an error. Harry Kirkover was not 

 shooting as well as usual to-day, as his scores will show. Krotz, who 

 is a. beginner, shot well in No. 3, only using his second barrel once.

 at 10 live birds, $5 entrance, two high guns. 



Nov. 23.— Notwithstanding the heavy rain that fell this afternoon, a 

 large number of (shooters took part in the poultry shoot at Audubon 

 Park, a fact which goes to prove that the members of the Audubon 

 Gun Club are not merely parlor shooters. The day was a miserable 

 one for target shooting, and a heavy fog made it necessary for the 

 shooters to take a snap shot at the targets before they disappeared 

 from view; this accounts for the poor scores given below, all events 

 bsing at unknown angles. The first event was at 25 targets, handicap 

 allowance of misses as breaks, the prizes being merchandise of vari- 

 ous kinds, from a large turkey and a box of cigars down to a pair of 

 kid gloves and a two months' free shave! Scores:

 composing the squad only shooting at 10 targets each instead of 25 on 

 account of darkness. Score:
