THE WELLINGTON SHOOT. 



THE big shoot, under the auspices of the Massachusetts marks- 

 men, has been successfully carried out, and the story of their 

 doings before the I rap is told in the figures and records below. 

 Reasonably fair weather came in to assist the very admirable ar- 

 rangements of the Committee of Arrangements. Daring the 

 entire week the best of feeling has prevailed among the shooters, 

 and not a cross word has been spoken so far as known, a fact 

 which speaks volumes for the character of the 203 gentlemen 

 who have faced the traps. Some of the best shooters in the coun- 

 try have participated m the tournament, and on every side only 

 words of praise could be heard of the management of the tourna- 

 ment. Surprises and disappointments were the order of the day ; 

 the Eastern men surprised that their scores compared so favorably 

 with those of their Western brethren, and the later disappointed 

 in not taking to the land of the setting sun more prizes. 



Mr. C. W. Dimick, of tho United States Cartridge Company, is 

 to be credited with the instigation of this grand tournament, and 

 to the executive committee consisting of Messrs. Edward Read, 

 W. R. Schaefer, A. F. Adams. Hermann Strut er, C. R. Sanborn, 



H. W. Eager, J. S. Sawyer, C. W. Dimick, C. H. Gerrish, W. H. 

 Allen, W. L. Davis, O. R, Dickey, T. B. Wellington and T. G. 

 Strater, is due the credit of successfully carrying out the six days 

 programme.

 show that there are some good shsta in all parts of the country.

Such a capital showing of shooters and sportsmanlike spirit was 

 a surprise even to the hopeful and enthusiastic managers, but the 

 success was earned and well won through intelligent well-directed 

 work before the first shot was fired. 



May SO. — The opening day was a perfect one for trap-shoot'ng 

 sport', and about the circle of shooters was gathered a large crowd 

 of spectators. The ladies were out in large numbers, and took as 

 much interest in the shooting as their gallant escorts. During the 

 day many military men called, and expressed themselves as 

 pleased with the proceeding. The matches were all shot accord- 

 ing to list, but the largest interest was felt in Matches 7 and 8 of 

 the day's list. These were the merchandise prizes, which were to 

 run through the meet ing, the aggregate score to count in fixing 

 rank for the selection of prizes. The scores ran as follows:

Man 31.— The. second day's contest in the World's Trap Shooting 

 Carnival, under the auspices of the New England Shooting Tour- 

 nament Association, was witnessed to-day by about 800 people, 

 fully one-fourth of which number were participants in the shoot. 

 The day was hardly as good as Monday for the shooters; the wind 

 was from the east, was raw and cold, and the lowery condition of 

 the weather hardly permitted the rise of the birds being seen quite 

 as quickly as would have been the case had the sun been shining, 

 and thus valuable seconds were lost by the gunners in gaining an 

 accurate sight of the flying missiles previous to puUing the trig- 

 ger. The scores, however, average better than at the preceding 

 day's shoot, and taken altogether, the second day's contest com- 

 pares favorably with its predecessor. The day was known as the 

 American clay -bird day, and upward of 9,000 hi rds were thrown 

 and shot at. In the programme of the event s of the day only four 

 matches were announced, but between 9 o'clock in the morning, 

 the hour at which the shooting commenced, and 7 o'clock at night, 

 19 matches were shot. 



The ties in the 10th event (merchandise match) were: De Roche- 

 mont and Taylor 18; Webber, Davis and Knowles, 17; Wardwell, 

 Renaud and Griffin, 16; Andrews, Francis, Lee, Aldoes and Mead, 

 15. Darkness prevented shooting these ties off, and they will be 

 shot to-day. Appended is the result of the day's shooting: 



First event. 10 birds, open to all comers— McMurchy first. 

 Wheeler, Tucker aud Early second, Wagner third, Eager and 

 Stanton fourth. 



Second event, 10 birds, open to all comers— Eager first, Beaudry 

 and Stice second, Aldoes, Wheeler, McMurchy and Barnes third, 

 Teipel fourth. 



Third event, 10 bird match for amateurs — Shermau first, Law- 

 rence and Beaudry second, Lee third, Barnes fourth. 



Fourth event, 10 bird amateur match— Aldoes, Snow, Swift, 

 Cook, E. Taylor and Alexander first, Hughes, Knowles Treager, 

 J. F. Barnes and Folsom second, Griffin third, Spangle fourth. 



Fifth event, 10 bird amateur match— Sherman and Schaeffer 

 first, Bedich second, E. Taylor, Green and Partiss third, De Roche- 

 mont fourth.

June 1.— The rain to-day interfered with the attendance of spec- 

 tators at the third day's contest in the world's trap shooting car- 

 nival on the Wellington Gun Club grounds, but failed, however, 

 to dampen the ardor of the participants in the numerous matches, 

 for about 150 men, armed with shotguns and enveloped in rubber 

 coats, put in an appearance before the traps, and defied the ele- 

 ments. The scores compare favorable with those of the preced- 

 ing days, and in one instance a full score of 20 is to be credited to 

 one of the Eastern men. Blue rocks seem to be the favorites of all 

 the Western men. The day was cold and the fire in the shooting 

 house was the center of attraction between matches. The special 

 prize match, which was not finished Tuesday owing to darkness, 

 was the first event, and as a result A. F. Cooper, of Exeter, N. H., 

 will take to his home the beautiful silver pitcher. During the day 

 a match for Saturday was arranged between 0. W. Budd, the 

 champion bird shot of the world, who has a record of 36 matches 

 won to none lost, and H. W. Eager, of Marlboro, Mass., the cham- 

 pion inanimate pigeon shot of New England. The contest to begin 

 at 3 o'clock and each man to shoot at 50 blue rocks and a like 

 number of Ligowsky clay birds for a special prize of $300, donated 

 by the executive committee. During the day's shoot over 7,000 

 pigeons were thrown from the traps. Appended is the result of 

 the third day's shoot:
