THE MIDDLESEX SHOOT.— The next trap-shooting event of 

 national interest that will occur hereabouts will he the fifth 

 annual tournament of the Middlesex Gun Club, that takes place 

 at Duoellen, N. J ., Oct. 8, 9, 10 and 11. The programme, now ready, 

 is an attractive one, and will draw together a large number of 

 expert marksmen from all sections of the country. The first two 

 days will be devoted exclusively to artificial target shooting, the 

 last two to live pigeons. The management have hung up $1,350 to 

 be divided by classes A and B, governed b.v American Shooting 

 Association rules and classification. Heretofore the Middlesex 

 Club have had as the feature of their tournaments a $1,000 guar- 

 anteed sweepstake at 100 live pigeons, 8100 entrance. By snecial 

 request of a large number of shooters who do not feel like enter- 

 ing so large an event, it -will be omitted this year, and a sweep- 

 stake at 25 birds, $.25 entrance, $400 guaranteed, open to the world, 

 will be substituted. This will give all an opportunity to partici- 

 pate, and, as the club adds all surplus money, it will undoubtedly 

 fill to as large an amount as the original race. The programme 

 can he had on application to W. Fred Quimby, 291 Broadway, or 

 W. L. Force, Plainfield, N. J.

ELLIOTT VS. WINSTON.-Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 34,-Kansas 

 t it y is noted for the number of good shots it contains, and 1 am 

 sab' to say that there are more pigeons killed and more clay-birds 

 broken inside its limits than anv city in America. One of our 

 most interesting matches was shot the other dav. The partici- 

 pants were the well-known (rap shot, J. L. Winston, of St. Louis, 

 and our champion of Kansas City. J. A. R. Elliott. Winston 

 having won three out of four matches from Elliott in June, 

 returned for more glory, and no time was lost in making a match 

 at LOO live birds each, American Associationrules, for $250 a side. 

 The match took place in the base ball park, and as the wind hb-w 

 from the southwest the competitors shut it out, and in the. in- 

 closure was warm, having a tendency to make t he birds fly slow 

 and easy. Winston seemed to have rather the hardest bi rds'in t he 

 beginning, though the latter part was about even. Elliott was 

 the first to score; his first, miss was his 26th bird, which left, him 

 in the lead of 2. Winston failing to score his 12th, 20th and 21st 

 at the end of 50 Elliott was in the lead of 2; Elliott failing to 

 score his 87th left him in the lead of but Land the match was 

 not won until be had scored his last bird. J. L Winston shot an 

 L. C. Smith haramerless, with 3K>drs. Sehultze's powder in first, 

 with Laflm & Rand's in second, with IJ^oz, of No. Ts in both bar- 

 rels. J. A. R. Elliott shot a Greener hamme.rless. with 3J4drs, of 

 SchuLze's powder in both barrels, with l>4oz. of 8s in first, and 

 7s in second. The score-

HARTFORD, CT— The Hartford Gun Club will hold a two davs' 

 tournament at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, on Sept. 5 and 6. In 

 arranging this tournament the managers, Messrs. 0. H. Bur- 

 bridge, John Melrose and Allen Willey, propose to cater to a 

 new class of shooters. Recognizing that the present system of 

 tournaments obliges the less skillful to compete with the cracks, 

 with no possibility of securing a Dlace, thev have adopted a sys- 

 tem of classificatisn as follows: Class A will be open to shooters 

 whose average is over 80 per cent., Class B those under 80 per 

 cent., and Class C to under 60 per cent, shooters. In order to 

 make their chances good for the number of birds to be shot at is 

 necessarily considered. To this end Class A is to shoot each day 

 one event at 20 birds, open to all. $3 50 entrance, $50 guaranteed, 

 and one event at 30 birds. 35.75 entrance, $100' guaranteed; Clas.-, 

 B, one event at 10 birds, $3.90 entrance, and one event at 20 birds, 

 S3.30 entrance,S75 guaranteed in each; Class C, A and B barred,one 

 event at 13 birds, 81.30, and one event at 16 birds. $1.90 entrance, 

 $50 guaranteed. By this arrangement, of sweeps there is every 

 inducement for shooters to enter as high a class as he can average, 

 as he can make as good money in a higher as in a lower class. B 

 and C will be open only to residents of Connecticut, but f'lass A 

 will be open to all. Artificial targets will be used, and will be 

 thrown from two sets of 5 traps under the Keystone system.

BRITISH CANOE ASSOCIATION MEET. 1889. 



LAKE WINDERMERE. 



AS this is the third anniversary from the formation of the B. 

 C. A., or the second organized meet under the above title, it 

 is necessary we should write at some length in order to give 

 a fair idea of the events aud life in the camp. 



Perhaps, to sum up the whole meet in a word, it may he 

 described as successful with, however, sundry drawbacks of an 

 exceptional character. The drawbacks are, first, that owing to 

 some misunderstanding, the camp was beginning to break up by 

 one section very soon after a considerable body of men arrived, and 

 thus it was shorn to some extent of its enjoyment. Another 

 drawback was, of course, the rain. Speaking for the fortnight 

 that we were in camp, wehad but three fine days out of the fifteen, 

 and perhaps we might say two half days. When the rain came 

 on it was not in the usual lake showers, but it carne in spells of 

 from five to twelv r e and even fifteen hours at a stretch. During 

 the camp the lake rose two-thirds of a foot on one or two occasions. 

 It was very trying to the tents and to the men's patience, and in 

 the highest degree, of course, disappointing: all the more so that, 

 during the beautiful spell of fine weather in May, nearly the 

 whole of June, and part of July they had equally fine weather in 

 that northern part of Lancastershire where the camp was held. 

 When it broke in the south it broke in the north, and so, perhaps, 

 we campists had no greater cause for complaint over the weather 

 wc had at the northern end of this most magnificent of English 

 waters than the rest of our fellow creatures in other parts of the 

 country. 



THE ATTENDANCE. 



The total number of members who sent in their names as in- 

 tending to take part in the B. C. A. meet was between forty and 

 fiftv, but as a matter of fact just over thirty men put in an ap- 

 pearance, thirty-two members that is. There were about nine 

 other canoeists and boating men who joined friends and acquaint- 

 ances in camp, either bringing their own or sleeping in other 

 men's tents, thus making the total of visitors to the camp thirty- 

 eight men who really stayed there. There were others who were
