 at the firing point. It became quite muddy after traveling over 

 the tiring- point, bui the -hooters accepted the situation of things, 

 considering it was the lirst attempt, ar anything in the wav of a

THE ESSEX GUN CLUB, of Newark, N. J., held their regular 

 monthly shoot on Wednesday, Oct. Is, at Jersey City Heights Gun 

 Club grounds at Marion, N. J. The attendance was small as com- 

 pared with usual Essex shoots, but this was due entirely to the 

 weather, which, for the past ten days, had effectually put a stop 

 to sport at the trap. The shooting was all at live birds, furnished 

 by Al. Heritage, and they were in the main good flyers. A club 

 event at handicap rises was lirst put through, and then two open 

 sweeps. The. latter was a close and exciting race, in which all the 

 contestants made an equal score. In shooting off the tie 17 birds 

 were uecessary to deeiue it, and it was finally divided by Class 

 and C. M. Hedden. All the contestants were shooting well. Dr. 

 Pindell made some remarkable long kills. Hayes was in great 

 form, also Class and Hedden. Trophy shoot, Essex rules, handi- 

 cap rises at 10 live birds:

JEANNETTE CLUB. Sept. 20.-The Jeannette Gun Club held a 

 tournament at Greenwald's Shooting Park, at New Dorp, Staten 

 Island, to-day, and the shoot proved to be one of the best of the 

 present active season. The officers of the club are: President, 

 Oapt. H. H. OordtS: Treasurer, Charles N. Bruno: Secretary, Aug. 

 J, Christian; Financial Secretary, Charles Meyer. Mr. O." Offer- 

 maun, of the Falcon and Fountain Gun Clubs, was elected a 

 member. A stiff wind blew across the traps and hurt the scores. 

 The live birds did not arrive on the grounds until nearly 11 o'clock, 

 and those present indulged in a sweepstakes at clay birds. The 

 classified shoots at live birds resulted as follows: 

 Class A, 28yds. 



C Meyer 1011111111—9 C Steffens 1111111100-8

Live bird sweepstake at 5 birds each, entrance $2.50: Cordts 

 first, Meyer and Brune div. second and third. In each of the 

 three classified shoots, A, B and C, a medal is awarded, which 

 must be won three times, not necessarily consecutive, before be- 

 coming the personal property of any one shooting for it. Winters 

 held the medal for Class C, but lost it to Erbstein, who won it for 

 the second time, Winters's ninth bird falling dead out of bounds. 

 Christian won the Class B medal for the third time and thus re- 

 tains the handsome trophy. Class A medal was a tie between 

 Meyer and Fri eke. The final shoot of the season wiU be held at 

 Greenwald's Shooting Park on Friday Oct. 18. Sweepstakes at 

 live birds and clay-pigeous will be contested, and so will the final

 members of the Jeannette Gun Club will go to Sullivan county on 

 Oct. 5, on their annual partridge shoot.

NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 18— The local rain of to-day did not 

 prevent a number ol intrepid marksmen belonging to the Essex 

 Gun Club of Newark from holding their regular monthly live- 

 bird shoot on the Jersey City Heights Gun Club's grounds at 

 Marion. The sport began at 3 o'clock aud continued until dark. 

 The conditions of the club shoot were 10 birds per man, handicap 

 rises, ranging from 36 to 30yds., and the score resulted as follows: 

 W. Hays 10, N. Nicholas 9, O. M. Hedden 9, A. E. Hedden 9, L. 

 Class 9, H. Leddy 8, M. Morris 8, and D. D. Terhune 4. The object 

 Of holding the above shoot was to decide the championship of the 

 club for each individual year, and the member having thehighest 

 aggregate at the end of the competition is awarded a valuable 

 gold medal, which becomes his personal property. Sweepstake 

 shooting followed the prize contest. In the first event there 

 were seven entries at §3 per man, and each contestant had four 

 birds to shoot. This was the result: L. Class 4. A. Hedden 4. W. 

 N. Pindell 4, W. Hayes 4, C. M. Hedden 3, Tec Kay 3, and H. Leddy 

 1. Ties div. The second and last sweepstake was a repetition of 

 the first, with the exception of one individual. The event, how- 

 ever, proved to be very interesting throughout, and on the first 

 score all of the marksmen tied for the. first place, and it was de- 

 cided to shoot off. After making the feathers fly for nearly an 

 hour, the event narrowed to Frank Class, the champion live-bird 

 shot of New Jersey, and C. M. Hedden, an old vetera n sportsman, 

 who has just passed his 63d year. The men kept on shouting, but 

 neither missed a bird, and the judge decided that they should 

 divide the purse between them, as it was getting dark and the 

 shooters could hardly see the birds. The majority of the pigeons 

 proved to be good flyers. 



LEBANON, O., Sept. 14.— The hainnierless gun put up for com- 

 pel ition by Mr. Al Bandle, of Cincinnati, for the shooter of this 

 (Warren) and Clermont county who would equal his 1 Handle's) 

 score of 91 out of 100 clay birds, sprung from 5 traps, American 

 Association rules. After many futile attempts it was finally won 

 by Andrew l'lickinger, a country boy, 19 vears of age, hailing 

 from King's Mills, Ohio, a cross-road burg on the C. W. & B. 

 Railroad. He is a proleg£ of the State's double-bird champion 

 shot Wick, and was for several years acknowledged the most 

 rapid live and clay bird trapper Cincinnati ever knew, the Cin- 

 cinnati expert, Bandle, taking him to various cities as his mas- 

 cot. In the present series the boy made an excellent showing 

 each time, but to look upon him as a winner was thought fool- 

 hardy, owing to the race being a long one, necessitating much 

 endurance. However, he was equal to the task and emergency, 

 and landed winner over such old time experts as Girton, Jackson, 

 GJassford and Shorty, all 90 men, with tnc handsome score, of 93 

 out of 100 to his credit (missing his 6th, 12th, 19 L h, 31st, 34th, 71st 

 and 83d), the other high entries being Girton 91, Jackson 90. 

 There were in all 19 entries.

 club only one barrel is allowed to score m killing the bird. It 

 pruved that the old wing shots completely outsnot the vounger 

 ones, they taking all the prizes in the several classes:
