BREWER AT HOME. 



JOHN L. BREWER has returned from England, after quite a 

 lengthy visit, and is highly pleased with ins success and the 

 reception he received. In an interview with the gun editor of the 

 Item, Brewer replied to queries as follows: 



"The best pigeons in the world for trap-shooting are the Eng- 

 lish blue rocks, which are bred in Lancashire. In shooting an 

 important match only the choicest arc used, and they go from 

 the trap like rockets. 



"In regard to powder, there is only one kind that can he uni- 

 formly depended upon for trap-shooting; that is the Schultze 

 powder. In my match with Journu, T wtfa induced to use a new 

 powder, manufactured by the E. C. concern, which they named 

 'J. B..' out of compliment to one of their biggest stockholders. If 

 was this powder that lost me the match. J had thirteen shells 

 loaded with the Schultze, with which I made 13 kills. I then 

 began on the 'J. B.,' and found it lacked the force and penetra- 

 tion necessary to stop the birds. I had been assured that in this 

 respect it was equal, if not, superior, to the Schultze, and found 

 out otherwise at a cost of fully 43800, having backed myself heav- 

 ily to beat Journu. As persons on the ground did not understand 

 why I did such poor shooting, I ordered the cartridges to be cut 

 open, in order to show the cause. 



"Take the English trap-shooters as a whole, they are superior 

 to Amerioau trap-shots; they shoot at a great rise, use a lighter 

 gun, and their blue rock pigeons are just as fine as the majority 

 of our pigeons are bad. I t is an unusual thi ng, unless the weather 

 is extremely unfavorable, for a blue rock to linger at the trap. 

 He starts with the pull. 



"The weak point of English shooters is their slowness. They 

 would shoot better if they shot quicker. Merwyn Watts (an 

 assumed name) is the best amateur shot in England, but he is too 

 slow, though he 'holds on' well. 



"Shooting grounds are generally fine, compared with our own. 

 The gun club ground is a half-moon with a stone wall ten feet 

 high. It has a sixty yard faU. 



"I brought three Greener guns with me, all twelves: one 71bs. 

 4os5., one 7^1 bs, with Greener's new ejector, and Old Princess, Tibs. 

 14oz. The ejector is a now gun, built especially for me. in a trial 

 with this gun, at HO best half-crown blue rocks, I killed 25 straight, 

 at 3o\ds,; in the balance, at 32}-6yds., I scored all but three birds, 

 making a total of 113 kills. Tne exhibition was witnessed by a 

 large company. The oldest referee in England, Mr. Bullock, said 

 it was tho most remarkable pigeon shooting he had ever seen. 



"In regard to other Americans who have visited England, no 

 one created so much amusement as Dr. Carver. He was regarded 

 as a second- (lass shot. He once shot against a second-class man, 

 who oulshot him; seeing the match was lost, Carver said: "I ate 

 an unusual quantity of sardines last night and I am too ill to con- 

 tinue." The Englishman wanted to continue, and muttered 

 something to the effect that ho didn't think Carver was that sot* 

 of a sardine. 



"Mitchell, the Southerner, would, I think, have a better ohaue 

 to win in England than any other American, and he ought t 

 make the t rip, as there would be both money and reputation in i 

 for him. 



"I should like you to state in The Hem that 1 will shoot any man 

 on the earth I'm- all t lie. money he wants, if the match is shot at 

 the Welsh Harp, Hendon, England. I to have the right to furnish 

 the birds, and 1 will guarantee the. birds shall be first-class blue 

 rocKs. 



"Or. I will shoot any man in America, if match is made to be 

 next October, and I to he allowed to furnish the birds. This is a • 

 good chance for Carver, Budd, Bogardus and other would-be , 

 champions lo tackle me and win extra reputation and cash by . 

 defeating me. " 



The Welsh Harp grounds, of which Brewer speaks, are situated 

 at Hendon, about seven miles from London, aud are presided 

 over by clever and big-hearted John W. Warner, who is an en- - 

 ihusiastic admirer of trap-shooting. As it is an open question 

 with many as to whether Brewer did or did not do remarkable 

 shooting, while in England, the gun editor of the Hem would like 

 to bear from Mr. Warner on the subject, believing he is com- 

 petent to judge what Brewer has done, and give him aU the credit, 

 to which he is entitled. 



A brief resume of Brewer's shooting while in England will be of ' 

 interest not only to his many friends and admirers, but also to 

 t rap- si 1 o 1 c rs gene rally : 



Shortly after his arrival in Loudon he "tried conclusions" with 

 50 "best blue rocks," and grassed 38. This was at 30yds. rise. He 

 made a big mistake to do so well, as his trial, which had been 

 private, soon became public, and handicapped him at once. 



The natural supposition was, that if he could do so well at the 

 start he would do still better with practice. Efforts to match 

 him became difficult, as too much handicap was asked. 



Brewer finally concluded to take part. 111 the contest for the 

 Championship of England Cup (value $500), offered for competi- 

 tion by W. P. Warner, at his grounds, "The Welsh Harp," a 

 famous ground at Hendon, near London. 



The conditions were: Entrance, S25; 25 blue rocks each; 30yds. 

 rise; 50 per cent, to winner; second, 20 per cent,; third, 10 per 

 cent.; three, successive wins to make the cup personal property of 

 winner. The first competition was won by Mr. Farrell, with a 

 score of 33, Brewer getting second money. Brewer then won the 

 next three competitions, with scores of 31, ,25, 32 (out of 33), in the 

 latter instance "shooting out" his opponents. 



The winning of this magnificent cup against the representative- 

 trap shots of England is in itself triumph enough for a stranger, 

 but Brewer did still better, for in a match against Mr. Norfolk 

 for $500 a side, at 100 best blue rocks, he "stopped" the English 

 expert by killing 48 straight, at, 34yds. rise. Mr. Nolfolk, in 

 abandoning the contest, , said: "Brewer, von are the greatest trap 

 shot in the world." 



Brewer shot three matches against Mr. Norfolk, winning two, 

 out of the three. The third match was the one he lost, and he 

 erred in conceding a yard rise, allowing Norfolk to stand at 

 29yds. Norfolk won by 3 birds, on a score of 75 to 73. out of 100 

 birds shot at. Norfolk took the lead at tne start, killing 22 out of 

 the first 25, and held it to the finish. Brewer killed 21 out of the 

 first 25, but dropped to 18,17 and 16 on the concluding rounds. 

 Had Norfolk stood at 30yds., the result would probably have been 

 different. 



Brewer's ambition was all right, but it led him into snares. 

 Thus Mr. BuU, of the Royal Adelaide Hotel, Windsor, was 

 allowed to back him against F. W. H. Parsons (a second-class 

 shot) to shoot at 50 blue rock pigeons, 35yds. rise, Mr. Bull laying 

 £150 to £100 that Brewer would win. This match was exceedingly 

 disadvantageous to Brewer, but having made it, he then shot it 

 out for all that was in him, winning bv a score of 31 out of 40, Mr. 

 Parsons having scored only 19 out of 40, being shot out. Brewer 

 scored a best on record in this match, and opened the eyes of 

 English trap shots regarding his ability, thus interfering greatly 

 with his chances to make matches on fair terms, and undoubtedly 

 preventing a number of matches that otherwise might, have been 

 arranged. 



Mr. Bull "knocked him out" a second time by matching him 

 to kill 30 first class blue rocks out of 50, at, 35yds. rise. Brewer, 

 American-like, faced the music, and scored 30 out of 43! He was 

 "nothing if not a, champion." It was at this match thai John 

 Lawrence Sullivan fried his hand at shooting, and killed one bird 

 out of twenty-four. The crowd jibed him and advised, him to 

 "aim higher." 



Reference has already been made to the meeting between the 

 celebrated French champion, Journu. and Brewer, but no men- 

 tion was made of the fact that Brewer challenged Journu fo x
