WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 13.-The delightful weather this 

 afternoon served to hrighten the sport of the riflemen at Heald-

NEWARK, N. J.— An effort wilt be mad« to get up a Newark 

 team to take the laurels from New York in gallery work. The 

 Our Own Rifle Club is being strengthened by the 'election of a 

 number of the "old-timers" who shot on various clubs during 

 the tournaments of the Newark Rifle Association. The club can 

 now turn out the best team in the city. Challenges have been 

 sent to the strong Zettler and Barry Rifle Clubs, of New York, 

 and the Miller Rifle Club of Hoboken. It is understood that the 

 latter has already been accepted, the match to be shot in this 

 city. A challenge will also be sent for a match in which the Our 

 Owns will put a team against a team selected from among the 

 membersof the seven clubs comprised in the Uni fed clubs. It is 

 doubtful if the latter organization could turn out a team to de- 

 feat the Our Owns. 



GRAND ARMY SHOTS.— A new city organization is the Grand 

 Army Rifle Club, with headquarters at No. 624 Third avenue. 

 The association is composed of some of the best and most noted 

 shots in the country. At the last meeting the following scores 



ARMORY FIRE.— A Paris cable under date of Nov. IS. says- 

 The government works for the manufacture of small arms at 

 OhatelleTault, in the Department of Vienne, have been destroyed 

 by fire. This will necessitate the suspension for a time of 'the 

 manufacture of the Lebel rifle. The fire is believed to have been 

 due to an accident. The loss is place at 1,000,000 francs. There 

 were no fatalities; 



THE TRAP. 



Scores for publication shoidd be made out on the pwtotbsd blanhs 

 prepared by the Forest and Stream, and furnished qraiis to club 

 secretaries. Correspondents whofawr us with dub scores are par- 

 ticularly requested to write on one side of the paper only. 



WALNUT HILL, Nov. 14.— The trap shooters turned out in 

 liberal numbers to-day to shoot in the twelfth competition ft>r the 

 gold coin prizes, and the sixth for the climax diamond badge. 

 Barring a brisk wind, the weather conditions were all that could 

 be desired. One event which did not appear on the programme 

 produced abundant amusement for some and considerable" disgust 

 to others. The trappers at the range had adjusted— true to life— 

 a dead woodpecker (Picus auralus) on top of the tall wind dial, 

 and some half a score of unsuspecting new comers, arriving from 

 time to time, in their eagerness to establish a reputation for skill 

 and obtain a rare specimen for their ornithological collection, 

 shot at the bird, not discovering their mistake until being regret- 

 fully made aware of it by the hearty guffaws of their designing 

 and jubilant companions. In the contest for the climax badge 

 competition was close enough to make it highlv interesting, as 

 will be seen by the following scores. Messrs. Scott and Best tied 

 for the much-coveted trophy, but owing to the lateness of the 

 hour and the darkness, did not shoot off.

 of the sport, both experienced and inexperienced, are cordially 

 invited to attend the coming shoot and avail themselves of such 

 opportunities for this amusement as the occasion may offer. 



SPRINGFIELD. N. J., Nov. ".-Editor Forest and Stream: At 

 the Union Gun Club grounds here this afternoon £. D. Miller, of 

 Springfieldj and C. H. Johnson, Jr., of Union, shot a match at 

 100 single blueroclis for the Atlantic Ammunition Co.'s cham- 

 pionship trophy for the State of New Jersey. The day was all 

 that could be desired with perhaps a little too much northwester 

 at the start. Johnson won the toss and sent Miller to the score 

 first to set the race, and for the first 14 birds he made it pretty 

 lively for Johnson, who missed his second bird, a darling left 

 quarterer. From then on to the fiftieth Johnson steadily gained. 

 When this point was reached, and the guns getting hot a ten 

 minutes' rest was taken. At its expiration the match was re- 

 sumed, but the "Judge" still continue! to let one slip now and 

 then with Johnson letting an occasional one get through the pat- 

 tern, hut not enough to lose the lead. When the result was 

 figured up it was found that Johnson had won, breaking 87 fo 

 Miller's 80. Miller at once challenged Johnson for a return 

 match, which will take place on the same grounds on Saturday,
