[Aug. 1, 1889 



JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS.— Mari on, N. J., July 27 — After an 

 interlude of several months the regular cup shoot of the J. C. H. 

 G. 0. took place ou their grounds at Marion, N. J., on Tuesday, the 

 16th nit. Owing to so many shoots coming off on the same day 

 in the neighborhood and the shortness of the notice sent out by 

 ' )ld South Paw, there were but a few of the members present to 

 take part, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in 

 hilarity and enthusiasm. It reminded one of the palmy days of 

 the club. Never lias (here been a. better or more satisfactory 

 meeting on these grounds; the weather fine, the birds good. Old 

 South Paw in his glory, and Old Reliable No. 1 (Uncle Billy 

 HustIk's) himself again after his severe illness, Esculapius (Dr. 

 Burdett), after laying aside the steel tubes for more than a year, 

 resumed them with liis old time grace and accuracy, winning the 

 cup with seveu straight kills, some of them magnificent shots. 

 One of the nicest features of the occasion was an impromptu 

 sweep perpetrated by that all-round joker. Old South Paw— a 5- 

 bir.l sweep. The entries only for the birds, the lowest on the 

 score to wash th« glasses for the libationists. But who would 

 have thought the victim would be Old Reliable No.l, a veteran of 

 fifty years at the traps, and shooting, too, in his old style.? But 

 here is where luck on the birds came in. Uncle Billy had three 

 exceedingly foul birds out of his five; he stopped one of them 

 grandly with one dead out of bounds. There was much hilar- 

 ity on the occasion, as he was surrounded, arrested, marched 

 into the clitb house, shown the watcr-pail, th« glasses and the 

 towels. One rinsing would not do the boys, and it was onlv after 

 repeated cleansing that they would accept Uncle Bill's first at- 

 tempt in the Biddy business. 



The committee on the State tournament, Messrs. Quimby, 

 Lindsley and Heritage, are working like beavers, and their past 

 experience and success iu such efforts guarantee a superior time 

 t his fall. They esppeted to announce the 84th, 25th, 26th and 27th 

 days of September as the days set: but as Al Bandle has arranged 

 that week for his big shoot, and as it is a mutual wish to have 

 him present East with the J, H. C. boys whom he treated so roy- 

 ally on their trip West last year, the. tournament may be post- 

 I'.eai'd one week later. This will make the shooting pretty lively. 

 A I Handle's latter part of Sept., J. C. Heights 1 forepart of Oct., 

 to be followed the following week by a four-days' shoot of the 

 Middlesex Club at Dunnellen. Oh, my, what a cracking, and 

 w'>at a quantity of powder will be burnt. But it is all good for the 

 trade. When fall arrangements have: been settled upon we will 

 duly announce. The following are the scores of the sweeps and 

 for the cup: 



Four birds, modified Hurliugham rules, first and second sweeps: 



Lindsley 1111-4 2212-4 Burdett 1220 - 3 2210-3 



Win Siegler... .2111-4 1112-4 Quinlan 1202-3 1111—4 



Heritage 2102—3 0022—2 Wm Hughes.... 1111—4 



Third sweep, 6 birds, lowest score to do the washing: 



Lindsley 21111—5 Hughes , 02110—3 



Q ui n lan 021 11-4 Siegler 1222 1—5 



I j eritage 12111—5 Burdett 12101—4 



Uncle Billy <he victim. 



The fourth sweep was very closely contested between Lindsley 

 and Quinhm, it taking the eleventh bird each man to decide. 

 But as the scores will show, Lindsley got even with Quinlan later 

 on in the blueruck sweep; 4 live birds: 



bind sley 2111—4 Hughes 1112-4 



Quinlan 1211-4 Siegler 2210-3 



Heritage 0112-3 Burdett 1011-3 



Owing to the lack of shells Hughes drew out his third of the 

 first inoncv, and the others scored: 



Lindsley 2222220-7 _ Quinlan 2211111—7 



Itegulat monthly shoot for silver cup, modified Hurlingham 

 rules, 7 birds, Wm. Siegler holding cup from last contest: 



Snsrler (29vds) 2121001-5 Burdett (2d) 1122111-7 



Heri tttge (36) 1 110212-6 Quinlan (29) H01200 -4 



Lindsley (26) 0211200-4 Hughes (26) 1111110-6 



Won by Burdett, 7 straight; bis third bird was an incoming 

 twister that on its second twist, snipe-like, off to the left was 

 splendidly dropped with the second barrel. 



The live birds having given out, the clay saucer traps were 

 placed in nosifion with the following result, two monevs: 



sue-ler.. .' 1111111111-10 Hughes 1U101U10- 8 



Lindsley 1101011111— 8 Quinlan 1101111111— 9 



Second event, 10 clays or nluerocks:

Lindsley 1011111111- 9 



Tn shoot off for second, miss and out, Lindsley 9, Quinlan 10. 

 And thus closed a good day's sport. Jacobstaff.

BOSTON, July 24.— The best of weather conditions prevailed on 

 this range to-day, enabling the marksmen present to put up as 

 fine a series of scores as is often shown even in this stronehold of 

 flue shooting. The main interest centered in the Gold Coin 

 match, in which Perry and Stanton led, after a close and excit- 

 ing contest. The shooting in all the events was of such excellence 

 as to lead to the impression that the trap shots of this club wiD 

 show up among the leaders in the coming tournament of the 

 American Shooting Association. The summary of the day's shoot 

 follows:

PORTLAND VISITS TOPSHAM.- July 24 was a clay winch 

 will be held in pleasant remembrance by the members of the 

 Riverside Gun Club, of Topsbam, Me. The early morning train 

 of that day brought nine members of the Portland Gun Club to 

 visit the Riversides and spend the day before the traps downing 

 the clay-birds and bluerocks. In the forenoon a friendly match 

 was engaged in at 20 singles and 10 double birds, one trap throw- 

 ing clay-birds and the other two bluerocks. The day was perfect, 

 and one that would test the skill of the shooters to the utmost, as 

 a strong wind was blowing from the northwest, which was a 

 quartering wind from right to left toward the shooter, and the 

 birds, taking advantage of the fact, proved themselves up to the 

 times, often sailing away as if nothing had happened, leaving the 

 man at the score looking wistfully in the direction they had gone, 

 wondering what they would do next. The match was a most in- 

 teresting one from beginning to end. as no one could tell what the 

 result would be until the last shot was fired, as will be seen by 

 the scores given below. The afternoon was spent in sweepstakes 

 shooting until time for the Portland club to return home. These 

 clubs have visited each other several times, and enjoyed many a 

 pleasant day together at the traps. May the good feeling which 

 exists between them never be broken.

At Saturday's shoot the pleasure of the shoot was somewhat 

 marred on account of the stupidity or cupidity of the steamboat 

 men, who failed to return for the shooters after charging them 

 for a round trip and an exorbitant fare at that. These lake 

 front steamboat men are fooling with the wrong class of people. 

 There are no more liberal men on earth than our trap shooters 

 wneu they are treated square, but they resent an injury.

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. 



PHILADELPHIA, July 24.- -Editor Forest, and Stream: The 

 Wawaset Gun Club, of Wilmington, Del., visited Fern wood, Pa., 

 on Monday, July 23, and shot a team mateh against the Philadel- 

 phia Sportsmen's Gun Club, whose grounds at Fernwood are the 

 finest anywhere within easy access of our city, The gun editor 

 of the Item was invited to act as referee, but, owing to illness, 

 was unable to be present, much to his regret. The contest was a 

 close one throughout. The Fernwood shooters confidently an- 

 ticipoted taking the Wilmington boys into camp, but. somehow or 

 other "the. thing got reversed." to use the expressive words of 

 Secretary Joseph McKinney. That well-known trap-shot, W. W. 

 Abbott, with Messrs. JefferBon, A. B. Mack and W. B. Hill, had 

 their photographs taken in a group at the close of the match on 

 account of their "off" scores. The photograph will be framed and 

 placed in the Fernwood club house, with the inscription: "Ah, 

 there! Why didn't you get there?" Appended are the full scores. 

 Referee, A. L. Lumb; judges, Messrs. Weldon and Brailler:
