MIDDLESEX TOURNAMENT. 



DUNELLEN, N. J., Feb. 23.— The third day of the tournament 

 of the Middlesex Gun Club opened with a good assemblage 

 of shooters and rather disagreeable weather at first, but it came 

 off better later in tbe. day. Some exception was taken to our 

 comments bi.last week's issue in regard to Hurlingbam rules and 

 the. second barrel at the bird on t he ground. Mr. Organ, one of 

 the prominent sportsmen attending the tournament from the 

 West, explained to your correspondent that It was at the request 

 of the Humane Society of England that the second barrel was 

 originally incorporated in the Hurlingbam rules to save the suf- 

 fering of the birds. Well, that is all right and praiseworthy. 

 Shoot the suffering birds on the ground or anywhere if you can't 

 gal her them, but don't let it count t he same as first barrel. Let it 

 bo Y> bird or no bird. No one in the field would put a second bar- 

 re) into a quail with a broken wing, but lie would gather it as 

 soon as possible. Some of the birds shot to-day are perfectly use- 

 less for market or the pot, absolutely blown to pieces at point 

 blank range on the ground, 15 or 20yds. distant from the shooter. 

 Out on such sportsmanship! Let it bo one barrel and one bird, 

 and second barrel % bird, with such retrievers as Al's Duke, and 

 good shots will be made and the birds will not be allowed to lie 

 suffering.

Some fault was found, we observed, by some of the Western 

 men with the Ligowsky clay-pigeon. They don't always break 

 even when hard bit. We noticed ourself several times the saucer 

 would be completely turned over in the air by the contact of the 

 shot and > T et not break, and it would be scored lost. But what will 

 you get that is better? Mr. Kirkwood, the Ligowsky agent who 

 assisted the committee in runniug the clay-pigeon' part of the 

 tournament, did all he could in an intelligent way to give satis- 

 faction; the traps were certainly of the best and worked to per- 

 fection. 



Fifth sweep on programme, miss and out, changed to 5 live birds 

 each, $5 entrance: 



Stice (30yds.) 10111—4 James (30yds.) 11111—5

On shoot off, H. White, James, Smith and Dickens divided 

 first; Stice, Bob White and Graham divided second; Williams and 

 Davis divided third. 



Feb. 24.— The fourth day opened with a high cold wind that in- 

 creased in force during the day and sent the clay saucers boom- 

 ingly, while the animated feather targets tnok decided advantage 

 of boreal aid and got away lively. This will account for the dif- 

 ference in the scores of Eley, Stark, Brewer and others, that 

 stood so high before. First sweep changed from 50 single clay to 

 25 single clay; entrance #10:

The second sweep, same day. was the great feature, and proved 

 very interesting, at times exciting. Twenty live birds, £25 entrance 

 and the birds. Neither Mr. Ritch nor myself kept this score, there- 

 fore we are unable to designate the first and second barrels; Hurl- 

 iugham rules, both barrels counting as one. Eley came to grief 

 aud pulled down his average considerably. The wind didn't seem 

 to bother Stice much, for be killed his birds so quick, within a 

 yard-of the trap, that" tbe wind bad ncr time to catch them. Ivleinz's 

 score Under the circumstances was magnificent also.
