S% LOUIS, Mo., May 17.-Live bird match for $100 a side 

 between J. H. Hagerty and J. L. Winsron. The weather was 

 most favorable and the birds were above an average lot. Winston 

 shot well, whereas Hagtrty did not do as well as many of his 

 friends had hoped for. A decision of the referee on Hagerty's 

 fourth bird caused him to "rattle" slightly and is mainly the 

 cause of his poor showing. He had by far the worst of the birds, 

 besides having a number of his birds which were hard hit, drop 

 dead just out of bounds. Hurliugham rules, modified to use 10- 

 gauge guns:

 test there was the respectable sum of $80 in the parse when the 

 75 birds each were shot at. Max has challenged Forbes for badge

CLASS AGAINST JONES.— On Tuesday, the 21st ins t., a match 

 at 50 live birds each wis shot at Erb's Park. Newark, between 

 Frank Class, of Pine Brook, N. J., and Capt. Jones of Jersey City. 

 The race was for $50 a side and the championship of New Jersey, 

 and was shot under strict Hurlingham rules. The men went to 

 the score at a rather early hour, 1 P. M., and at, that time but few 

 spectators were present. Among those few we, noticed Chas. Van 

 Camp, C. Turford, Mahlou Fox and E. Updegrove, of Trenton, 

 N. J., who, not having had shooting enough at their home tourna- 

 ment, had come on here to participate in the open sweeps which 

 it was announced would take place in addition to the match. 

 These events did not come off. however, owing to the scarcity of 

 birds, of which there were barely enough necessary to decide the 

 title of "champion." The few birds that were secured were only 

 an average lot, and in justice to Capt. Jones it is but, fair to say 

 that he received the worst ones. Whether a reversal of luck in 

 birds would have made any difference in the score it is impossible 

 to say, but Class was shooting in good form, as the score, 46 to 43, 

 shows. The Captain says he is going to have another go with the 

 champion before long, when he will try to change the. result. 

 Along toward 3 o'clock the shooters commenced to come in one 

 by one with guns and shells for an afternoon's spo r t at the traps, 

 and great was their disgust when thc-y found the birds were 

 gone. The score, indicating birds lost aud kills with second bar- 

 rel was as follows. Class's h^st run was 23 and Jones's 17.

 DEATH OP FRANK TRUAX. -Albany, N. Y., May 19.— Francis 



H. Truax, the finest wing-shot, with the exception of Captain Bo- 

 gardus, that Albany county ever produced, died at his residence 

 in this city on Thursday last. Frank, as he was best known by 

 his acquaintances, was a, famous coven, shobter. and few men in 

 this region have killed more game than he during a life that 

 had nearly reached the allotted t hree score and ten. Besides his 

 ability as a skillful coveit shot, he was a nigeon shooter of con- 

 siderable local renown, and was a familiar figure at the New 

 York State tournaments many years ago. In 1875 Truax at- 

 tracted t he attention of Parker Brothers of West Meriden, Conn., 

 who appointed him their ageut, and it was through his influ- 

 ence, more than any other, that the Parker gun became a prime 

 favorite in 1 his section. The cause of Truax 's death was con- 

 sumption, which has been his insidious and constant enemy for 

 many years; and it was only his out-of-door life, supplemented by 

 a strong will, that so long delayed the fatal summons. Truax's 

 rich and varied experiences in shooting wild game, and his per- 

 fect knowledge of the brtechloadingshotgun made his companion- 

 ship and advi-'e much sought for bv the younger generation of 

 sportsmen. But by the "old sports" as well he was held in high 

 esteem, and the sporting fraternity, generally, will sincerely 

 regret his death.— H. B. Derby. 



NORWICH, Conn.— The Norwich Shooting Club, of Norwich, 

 Conn., wilt hold a two days' tournament, Tuesday aud Wednes- 

 day May 38 and 39. Events are open to all, with cash prize of $50 

 guaranteed each day. Mr. H A. Penrose, of the Keystone Man- 

 ufacturing Company will have full management of t he traps and 

 targets, which is considered by ihe club officers a sufficient guar- 

 antee to all shooters that the birds will be thrown in the best 

 posMbie manner, with unprecedented rapidity, aud aJl decisions 

 made promptly and fairly, without distinction of person. This 

 tournament is gotten up in order to satisfy the very urgent re- 

 quests of many of the shooters who participated in our April 

 shoot, and also t > try and make amends for the foul weather we 

 were favored with at that time. The management will use every 

 endeavor in their power to make this the grand sho t of New 

 England for 1889; and the comfort and enjovment of all the par- 

 ticipants will be speciaUy cared for.— h). N Yebbxngton, Pres. 



Every week we are obliged to defer to the next 

 week trap scores which come in too late for pub- 

 lication in the current issue. It is particularly re- 

 quested that scores be sent, us as early as possible.
