ones promptly killed. We mention this been use there was some 

 adverse criticism of the management, which we feel they did 

 not deserve. We know them tube humane men who would be 

 among the first to object, to any cruelty. 



The element of luck was apparent, as in all live bird contests. 

 In the big sweep Smith's second bird was hard hit with a. body 

 charge by second barrel, but had strength enough to carry the 

 load a fool out of hounds, whom it fell stone dead. Brewer's lost 

 bird was a rapid blue twister, hard hit with both barrels, dead 

 just ovewthe fence. Budd'S twenty-third bird, a right quarterer, 

 left the trap at railroad speed, carrying first barrel charge 20yds., 

 where his head was cut oil with second. Squires's luck carried 

 him through with a straight score, though if seemed sure that 

 his twentieth bird, which was slightly wounded with first barrel 

 and missed with second, alighting on the ground, would fly out 

 if challenged, but no one offered to do so. Charlie Smith had a 

 straight, up to his t wenty-fifth bird, which was a contrary-minded 

 blue dodger, twisting in a dozen different directions and going at 

 a speed which defleo shot, so Charlie had to content himself with 

 a piece of second money.

other well-known Philadelphia sportsmen, a.nd the fapt of its 

 being the first ease of the kind ever Iried in the State, much 

 interest was centered in the result. The hearing was made be- 

 fore Justice Navlor, of Burlington, N. J. Allan H. Gangewer, of 

 Burlington, represented the society, and Samuel H. Grey, ot Cam- 

 den, was counsel for the Riverton Gun Club. 



The defense admitted shooting the pigeons, but denied the 

 charge of cruelty, and therefore, claimed they had not violated 

 the statute provided for such cases. 



Judge Naylor in rendering his decision said the question in this 

 case was not as to whether any cruelty was practiced. The charge 

 was that the pigeons shot at the match were needlessly mutilated 

 and killed, "if thev bad been kilted for the purpose of using them 

 for food it would not have been a needless killing, but to my mind 

 the killing of I he pigeons for mere sport is needless killing under 

 the statute. A shooting match is usually arranged for the amuse- 

 ment of those participating, and while it is not necessary to go 

 further into (his view of the case, it seems to me that the statute 

 is perfectly clear." 



The Justice then quoted the statute and concluded: "I am of 

 the opinion that the defendants have violated the thirteenth sec- 

 tion of the act and the supplement thereto as charged; and I ad- 

 judge that the defendants shall pay the sum of $50 fine and $5.85 

 costs of suit." 



The Riverton Club will carry the case to the. Court of Errors 

 and Appeals. If this decision is allowed to stand, the Biverfou 

 Club will disband, as the sentiment of the members is against the 

 shooting of live pigeons, if such shooting is declared to be a vio- 

 lation of the law. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to 

 Animals propose to stop the shooting of live pigeons in any part 

 of the State of New Jersey.

Thursday, Oct. 5. 



Weather clear, slightly cool, light wind from northwest. Birds 

 poor as a lot, but some few hard drivers among them. Fair at- 

 tendance of ou-lookers in the afternoon, among whom Avere 

 noticed Annie Oakley and husband and A. H. Dimick, of U. S. 

 C. Co. 



The arrangements for live bird shooting were not as good as 

 might be. The traps were set on a raised narrow platform, and 

 as the birds were poor ones, many refusing to fly, they simply 

 dove under this platform when liberated and were as safe from 

 the gnu as if in the Jersey barnyards, where they are raised for 

 the trap. This occasioned much loss of time. Then to avoid 

 further delay the birds in the big sweep were not retrieved as 

 shot, partly because of the numerous pools of water which 

 abounded, and the general damp state of the ground, which 

 necessitated the use of hip hoots, consequently some of the 

 wounded birds were allowed to He ungathered. Tnis was all due 

 to the unfinished state of the grounds, which allowed of the 

 accumulation of water during the recent rains, and it was practi- 

 cally impossible to d.o otherwise and finish the event before night. 

 No such objection will arise when the grounds are raised and 

 completed. Ever bird will be retrieved as shot and the wounded

Friday, Oct. 26. 



Beautiful day, with a clear and bracing atmosphere, but many 

 of the shooters had departed for home and the attendance was 

 small. According to programme the morning was to have been 

 occupied with a shoot-off of ties for the Atlautic Ammunition 

 Co.'s New York State Trophy, a diamond watch charm. Three 

 men had made score of 100 straight in the contest, Geo. Luther 

 and Al. Spangler, of Syracuse, aud A. Baker, of Poultney, but as 

 Luther was the only one of the three on the grounds, the trophy 

 went to him by default. It is open for challenge from any New 

 York State sportsman for one year, to be shot for at Syracuse. In 

 lien of this contest a number of live bird sweeps were shot. Dur- 

 ing the progress of event No. 4, Mr. G. F. McAneny, President of 

 New Jersey State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 

 Animals, appeared on t he grounds and demauded that the shooting 

 be stopped. This occasioned considerable excitement among the 

 shooters and much talk on the part of the management. Finally 

 Mr. Chas. Richards mounted the scorer's stand, and addressing 

 Mr. McAneny, said that he wished to take, all the responsibility 

 on himself, as President of the Suburban Association, and that he 

 should call the gentlemen to the score to shoot some birds which 

 were his individual property. It was necessary that tfiese birds 

 should he delivered dead m New York that night, and he chose a 

 shotgun as the method of killing, assuming any liability for viola- 

 tion of the law himself. This Mr. McAneny would not agree to, 

 and at first insisted on arresting every man who shot a bird, but 

 finally decided to arrest but one, and Mr. Larue, a member of the 

 Association, offering himself as a victim, was notified that he was 

 under arrest, to appear at a justice's court Monday morning, Oct. 

 29. The association intends to make a test case of this and to 

 finally settle the question whether the shooting of live birds is 

 illegal. It is understood that a number of New Jersey clubs have 

 offered their assistance and will join with the Suburban in fight- 

 ing this matter. Six live bird sweeps were shot and the tourna- 

 ment was over.

Since this report was written Mr. Larne's fate has been decided. 

 He was on hand with his counsel Monday morning to face the 

 music, and was promptly discharged, the society having decided 

 to change their mode of operation; and it is said that the respon- 

 sibility is to be placed upon the Surburban Shooting Association, 

 and they, in the person of Mr. Chas. Richards, the president, will 

 be proceeded against. No date has been set tor the trial, but due 

 notification will be given Mr. Richards to enable him to prepare 

 his defense. F. M. 



After numerous postponements a decision was reached at Burl- 

 ington. N. J., on Thursday last, in the suit of the Society for Pre- 

 vention of Cruelty to Animals against the Riverton Gun Club for 

 cruelty for shooting live pigeons at a match a tew weeks since. 

 The club was fiued according to the statute. 



Owing to the prominence of the members of the club, whose 

 membership includes Edwin M, Fitler, son of Mayor Fitter, and 



THAT CARTER— GRAHAM MATCH. 



BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 25— Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 much talked of match between L. S. Carter of Hammond, 

 111., and Win. Graham of England, now a resident at Annapolis, 

 Md., which was to have been shot here to-day, proved to be 

 merely a hippodrome and a scheme, to wring a few dollars out of 

 the dear unsuspecting public, which scheme by the way, did not 

 work. Some weeks ago it was publicly announced that a match 

 had been made between these men, at 100 live birds each, for $200 

 a side, Hurlingham rules to govern. At this time. Carter was 

 shooting a 10-gauge gun, but had ordered a 12-bore, but it was 

 doubtful if it would be ready by the date fixed upon, so the pro- 

 viso was made that Graham could take 3yds. with his 12-bore 

 against Carter's 10. This point is mentioned here to show that it 

 was considered by them and arranged for. Well, the first date 

 fixed was Oct. 6 at St. Louis, atthe.'close of the Fodde tournament, 

 when they evidently thought the city would be crowded with 

 shooters anxious to witness their skill, at the rate of 50 cents a 

 head. Such did not prove to be the case, a baker's dozen being 

 all that appeared on the grounds, so the race was postponed, 

 ostensibly because Carter had not received his 12-gauge, Graham 

 refusing to take 3yds., but iu reality because of the lack of gate 

 money. The St. Louisiana were "on" and refused to be. beguiled 

 into giving up their ducats, so the present time and place were 

 fixed upon with the very evident idea that Baltimoreans were 

 more gullible and that a big gate could be secured. 



Acton's Park on the Patapsco River, a very pleasant resort 

 about ahalf hour's ride from the heart of the city, was the chosen 

 field of battle. Tlie programme called for a number of live 

 bird sweeps commencing at 11 o'clock, and 2P.M. the race waste 

 be called. A few shooters were on band to take part in the 

 sweeps and the morning wore away very pleasantly. As the 

 appointed time drew near, the expected crowd did not gather, 

 only about one hundred spectators appearing, and it was soon 

 seen that there was no anxiety to shoot the match on the part, of 

 either Carter or Graham. They withdrew to one side, conferred 

 together a long time and finally agreed to call the match off, and 

 shoot at 15 birds each for $50, as a sop to those present. Mr. Lee 

 Clark of the Baltimore Sun had agreed to act as referee, and he 

 so announced their decision, and called them to the score. Con- 

 siderable disgust was manifested by the crowd and there was 

 much talk of a very plain character to try and force them to 

 shoot the match as agreed, but it was no go; there was not enough 

 gate money to pay for the birds let alone anything else, so what 

 would you have'? We understand that Graham claimed to be out 

 of condition, as an excuse for not shooting the race, but his 

 record in the 15 birds shot at did not show anj T lack of form as 

 both he and Carter made straight scores. True, the birds were 

 duffers, nearly every one refusing to fly except when put up, hut 

 85 more could just as well have been shot at, had the match been 

 a bona-fide one. Carter made a weak demand for his share of 

 the stakes, claiming that he came there to shoot and was ready to 

 do so. This was ridiculous, as had there really been any money 

 up he was entitled to the whole amount, if Graham refused to 

 shoot. As the 15 bird race resulted in a tie, it was announced 

 that $50 of the stakes would he drawn, leaving $150 to be shot for 

 at Erb's Park, Newark, N. J. on Thursday, Nov. 1, provided the 

 grounds and the birds could be secured for that day. As a mat- 

 ter of fact, we doubt if any money was ever put up; if it was up 

 a string was attached to it. 



A hippodrome of this kind causes suspicion to rest on every . 

 straight match in the country and does more to injure trap shoot- 

 ing than anything else. There are enough abuses now which all 

 are trying to find means to correct, without adding this one. 

 True, it is by no means a new idea, but of late hippodrome shoots 

 have been very scarce, and we hope lovers of the sport wiU not 

 encourage their revival by their presence. F. M. 



BROOKLYN, Oct. 25.— There was a large crowd present to-day 

 at the. annual shoot of the Couey Island Rod and Gun Club at 

 Woodlawn Park, Graveseud, L. I. This was a new departure, the 

 club having its annual shoot and dinner at John Stillwell's, Coney 

 Island Creek, during the past four years, but it was decided to 

 have the shoot at Woodlawn and the dinner afterward at the new 

 headquarters of the club, No. 155 Lawrence street, near Fulton. 

 After the shoot all hands then hastened to catch a special car 

 that was provided by the Culver Railroad management, and wore 

 conveyed to the city and thence to the club headquarters, where 

 a first class fish and game dinner had been prepared for the hun- 

 gry shooters. The president of the club, Mr. H. Laughlin. who 

 was in the chair, led the merry-making, and Messrs. V*n Pelt, 

 Schlieman, Meyer, Donnelly, Davenport, Lanzer and Dr, Schwartz 

 were the principal artists, and the time passed away very quickly.
