BUDD VS. KLEINTZ. 



OX Saturday, Oct. 5, Charles W. Budd, of Des Moines, la,, and 

 Capt. J. Frank Kleintz, of Philadelphia, mot in a match at 

 live birds. It will be remembered by our readers that m June 

 last these two men shot a match at Chicago for the championship 

 cup, which Budd holds and which Kleintz had challenged for. 

 On that occasion Budd won with, a score of 98 to 94. Kleintz still 

 thought he had a chance to beat the champion, and arrangements 

 were made for another race when Budd should, come Bast for the 

 Eastern tournaments. The champion arrived m Philadelphia on 

 Friday night, and on learn ng that Kleintz had been sick tor sev- 

 eral days, immediately ottered to let him down on the amount of 

 the stake. A t'orfei t of $60 each had been posted tow. iTd thi '..> 

 which was the original sum agreed upon, hut in view oi hlc. •• 

 condition he availed himself of Burid's kindness, ami another $50 

 was added to the forfeit, making the stake $100 a side. The race 

 was shot at the baseball park in Gloucester, N. J., just across 

 the river from Philadelphia, About 300 spectators were present 

 and witnessed a verv close contest. The birds were supplied and 

 trapped bv Miles Johnson, and were way above the average. 

 Very few of them refused to fly when liberated, and the great 

 majority started oft' at lightning speed. Many of them were so 

 strong that unless a wing was broken they were able to carry 

 li i ces outside the bounds, there to fall victims to the 

 scouters, those ever present attendants of a live-bird shoot. The 

 boundary was supposed to be 80yds., but in some places it fell as 

 far short as 03yds. Few birds were lost on this account, however, 

 as their flight was mostly in the other direction. A recapitula- 

 tion is given below, showing the direction of flight, hut fully two- 

 thirds of the turds might be called towerers, as they rose straight 

 from the trap before starting off. This seemed to he due to the 

 high fence around the grounds, close to the boundary lines— it 

 served to make the birds rise to clear it. Both contestants used 

 12-gauge guns, standing at 30yds. rise. Budd started in with a 

 new gun which he had never shot before, and this be used up to 

 the -3d round. He was apparently getting under his birds, and 

 had lost 5 out of 22; so changed to his old gun, an L. C. Smith, 

 weighing Tibs. 7oz., full choke. His cartridges were loaded with 

 . , )rs. American wood powder and l?4oz. trap sevens shot. 

 K feintz u^ed a Greener, full choke, weighing 71bs. 13oz., and shot 

 SMdrs. Schultze powder and l}4oz. trap sevens shot in both bar- 



U Notwithstanding Kleintz's condition, and he really looked out 

 of trim, be shot a game race, and finished only one bird behind. 

 Both men have made better scores, hut it is doubtful if biros of 

 tin' same quality were used. Before the race Miles .lohnson 

 oifi red to net any amount that 90 would not be killed, and the 

 <-equel proved his faith to be well founded. Each man had 5 birds 

 fall dead just hoyond the houndary. Kleintz seemed to have the 

 luck of the birds early in the match, but Budd's luck commenced 

 I'.ward the latter part. Kleintz's 49th bird was a clipping blue- 

 r.ick. that dodged both barrels and got away clean; his 66th was 

 another hummer, and only sucoumbe'd to a rattling good shot 

 with the second barrel; Ids 62d was a strong incomer that was 

 dropped two feet from the score. Budd's 22d bird was a right- 

 nuMteriiig, incoming blueroek that vanished in the distance; his 

 f.u h was also a bluerock to which he had to say "good b\;" his 

 filth was hit in the h-g and circled three times around inside the 

 bounds, every one expecting him to drop, but he at last slowly 

 sailed over the fence. Below is the score in full, the figure i dt- 

 n'otine second barrel kills and o dead out of bounds: 

 ChasW Budd o2o2121152o22121012110112 



Capt J Frank Kleintz., 



Recapitulation— Budd had 14 rigbt-qi: _ 

 G4 drivers, 10 towerers, 7 right quartering incomer-, a letl-nuar- 

 tenr.g incomers and 3 twisters. He used his second barrel 41 

 times and his longest run was 17. Kleintz had 18 rigbt-quarterers, 

 3(5 left-nuarterers, 23 drivers, 10 towerers, 1 right-quartering in- 

 comers, 7 left-quariering incomers and 2 twister.-. He used the 

 -i t.) id barrel 48 times and his longest run was IS. Kleintz is not 

 Wt -ati-fied, and in all probability another match will be shot at 

 R adiug. Pa., during the tournament which commences there 

 Oct. 15, though nothing definite is now known. Frank M ascw.

ST LOUIS,Mo..Oet. 5 —Monday morning at 8 o'clock 1 wenty-one 

 tra rebooting enthusiasts assembled at the giouudsof the (Jump- 

 ton Hill Gun Club, to contest for the Hawlings Bros, medal. The 

 day was a miserable one and the greater part of the snooting had 

 to be done in the rain. If was a close contest be! ween the win- 

 ner Sieruiuski, Field and Prendei gast, and not till the hist round 

 of Shad bpen shot, was there any certainty which of the three 

 would captuie the trophy. It is a very handsome medal, and is 

 representative of the individual inanimate target championship 

 of this city and county. The score, 50 singles and 25 pairs of 

 doubles:

TORONTO, Oct, 2.— The annnal tournament of the Toronto Gun 

 Club commenced to-day at Woodbine Park. There was a very 

 large turnout, and the shooting, which was at live birds, was ex- 

 ceptionally good, considering that while the light was fair the 

 wind was strong. It was noticeable that, whereas the majority of 

 the competitors shot with 10-bore guns, J. Townson used a 12-bore, 

 according to English rules, and killed his whole 15 straight with 

 one barrel. Following is the score so as the competition has 

 gone. 15 birds:

 perfect, and a large number of spectators witnessed the match, 

 which proved to be a very close and interesting shoot. The White 

 House club took the lead, but finally got rattled and lost the 

 match by 1 bird. The scorers, too, lost their heads in tbe excite- 

 ment, and announced that the White House club had beaten by -3 

 birds, but when their brains cleared the corrected score stood 43 

 to 44 in favor of N«rth Branch. 15 Keystons, 1 Kcj stone trap, 3 

 angles, 18yds. rise, Keystone rules: 



White House Gun Club. North Branch G tin Club.

At the clo.-e of the shoot an amusing incident occurred. When 

 some members wont to retrieve the unbroken birds in the field a 

 rabbit sprang from a bunch of grass and bounded across the 

 smooth pasture right before the shooters. Instantly a dozen guns 

 were leveled at him, but no one pulled a trigger, and he bounded 

 away unharmed. It was evident that if the quickness and pre- 

 cision bad been shown at the trap which were manifest when the 

 rabbit showed itself, much better scores would have, been made. 

 Two gray snipe were also flushed from the same bog, and were 

 killed with one shot by Mr. J. V. Voorhees, an old-time sports- 

 man and an excellent shot. The third shoot between these clubs 

 will take place Oct. 19 at North Branch. 



SING SING. N. v., Oct. 2.— A lively series of sweepstakes at 

 Kevstoue. targets and live-pigeons was held ou the grounds of the

 continuously d uring the day, besides the events at live birds. The 

 shooting averaged BO and 90 per cent. The money iu the principal 

 events was div. by Gettle, Raymond, Liudsley, Collins. Rohr, 

 Cave, Edsall, Pierce, Paul Aker, Hitchcock and Pringle. Fred

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.— The fine weather of to-day swelled the 

 entrance for the Independent Gun Club's Muldoon medal to 11. 

 The shooting, with the exception of fhat of the winner, was poor, 

 and that, too. With the weather and the flight of the birds being 

 perfect. Twenty single champion clay birds from 5 traps, Ameri-

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 4.-The much-talked-of match between 

 Class and 13 rower failed to materialize this afternoon. 200 per- 

 sons put in an appearance at Krb's Park only to he disappointed. 

 Class was on hand, but Capt. John Brewer failed to come to the 

 mark. Not a line came from him regarding the cause of his 

 absence, and he lost his $30 forfeit. Frank Class shot in a series 

 of sweepstakes, as he said he wished to make a record for himself, 

 and his magnificent form iu this shooting did somewhat to make 

 amends for the lick of a contest between him and Brewer. His 

 score was one 01 50 straight kills. The birds were a grand lot, 

 and, helped by the northwest wiad, which blew strongly across 

 the traps, were oft like a rocket, and puzzled the very best shots 

 present to make scores. Frank Class is a finely formed man of 

 about 30 and of sturdy physique, lie stands about 5ft. 10in., and 

 is broad of shoulder and muscular of arm and leg. He is dark- 

 eyed and dark-haired, and possesses withal a most pleasing ex- 

 pression. He handles his gun with wonderful celerity, and no 

 shooter of the country can equal him in the quickness with which 

 the second barrel follows 1 he first if the latter fails to grass the 

 bird. The feature of the dav was the. retrieving of the olack set- 

 ter dog Rem. He was quick as a flash, and cunning as a fox. If 

 the bird was likely to fly, he sneaked up to it with the stillness of 

 a weasel. Did it require dash, he was equnl to the occasion and 

 bounded in with the jump of a panther. The only time Lem ever 

 forgot his duties was a short time ago. when, sent to gather a far- 

 away killed bird, he put up a full-grown rabbit on his way. The 

 temptation was great. He forgot his training in nature's law and 

 dashed madly after bunny, leaving the bird to the care of itself. 

 After a mad chase, he came back looking as shamefaced as a cor- 

 rected schoolboy. First sweep, 9 entries at $5: Class, Riggott, Erb 

 and Leddy tied for first, and divided with 5 straight kills; Geof- 

 frey and Cavanagh divided second; Heath and Parment third. 

 Second sweep: Class, Riggott and Erb again divided first with a 

 clean score; Parment, Leddy, Freche and Geoffrey captured 

 second, while third money went to Heath and Cavanagh. Third 

 sweep: Riggott, Class, Leddy, Heath and Freche d ivided first, Erb 

 taking second, third betug added to first. The fourth and fifth 

 sweep were exactly similar. Sixth sweep: Class, Heath, Green, 

 Cockefair and Siglow divided first with straight killed: second 

 money went to Riggott and Leddy, third to Rrb, Freche and Bern- 

 hardt, Seventh and last sweep: Chris. Reinhardf captured first 

 money all by himself; second event to Erb and Cockefair. third to 

 Francis, Hollis aud Siglow, all the rest out in the cold. Had Capt. 

 Brewer come to time the day would have been one to be long 

 remembered. 



WELLINGTON, Mass., Oct. 4.— There was a fair attendance at 

 the grounds of the Wellington Club to-day, and the weather con- 

 ditions were favorable. In the silver n tcher match, at 8 clay- 

 pigeons and 7 bluerocks, Chase and Melcher tied with 13 each, 

 and in the shoot-oft Melcher won with 3 straight. The other 

 scores in this match were: Perrv, Bond and White, 12; Cowee and 

 Bradstreef , 10: Baxt er 8. Moore 7, Bradbury 0, Needham 5. In the 

 booby medal match the following scores were made at 20 blue- 

 rocks: Chase, 17; Bond, Perry and Stone, 15; Warren, White and 

 Bradstreef, 14; Baxter, Cowee and Moore, 13. In the above match 

 the medal was to be awarded to the man making the most con- 

 secutive misses. Bradstreef and Moore tied with 3 each, and in 

 the shoot-oft Moore was awarded the prize for breaking 5 straight, 

 the conditions having been reversed without the shooters know- 

 ing it. The winners in the sweepstake follow: Six bluerocks, 

 White, Cowee. Chase, White; 7 bluerocks, Melcher and Bi'ad- 

 street; 8 pigeon?, Melcher, Chase and White; 5 bluerocks, Moore

MIDDLESEX SHOOT.— The fifth annual tournament of the 

 Middlesex Gun Club commenced on Tuesday of this week at Dun- 

 ellen, N. J. The attendance the first day was much smaller than 

 on previous occasions when this popular club has given tourna- 

 ments. In one event 33 men came to the score; but taking aU 

 events together, an average of about 20 was all that could be mus- 

 tered. This, too, on one of the most beautiful days that a shoot 

 could be favored with. Just what the reason is for this light at- 

 tendance it is impossible to say. Perhaps it may improve before 

 the week ends, as many who have promised to be here have not 

 yet made their appearance. Among those now here are C. W. 

 Budd, of Des Moines, la.; Rolla O. Heikes, of Dayton, O.; H. A. 

 Penrose of Oorry, Pa.; A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse, N. Y.; A. R. 

 Bowdish. of Oxford, Mass.; W. VVolstencroft, of Philadelphia, Pa.; 

 John A. Ruble, Beloit, Wis., and such local talent as Milt. Liuds- 

 ley, W. Fred Quimby, Win. Sigler, Ed. Collins, Charles Smith and 

 S, G, Smith. Bright sunshine accompanied the early morning 

 events, and though later clouds appeared and the air grew cooler, 

 it was still possible to keep comfortable while in motion. Nine 

 re«nlar events were shot and thirteen extra sweeps. Wednes- 

 day's programme calls for eight regular events, all at inanimate 

 targets, and on Thursday and Friday live-bird contests will surely 

 draw good entry lists. Full scores will be given iu our next issue 

 — Frank. Mason. 



CRESCENT GUN CLUB, Oct. 2.— The members of the Crescent 

 Gun Club of Brooklyn enjoyed a bird dinner to-night. About 

 forty covers were laid, and President Walter H. Fitz Gerald pre- 

 sided. Representatives from the Unknown, Brooklyn, Coney- 

 Island, Glen more, Dtiana, Falcon, and many ot her of the promi- 

 nent gun clubs were present, and enjoyed an excellent repast and 

 listened to speeches until a late hour. The Crescent Gun Club 

 medal, designed by Mr. Burkee, of the Crescent Watch Case 

 Company, and presented to the Crescent Gun Club by the donor, 

 was on view during the evening. The trophy was won by Dr. H. 

 L. O'Brien at the List shoot of the club. The next shoot of this 

 organization will be held at Miller's Dexter Park, on the Jamaica 

 Plank road, on Saturday, Oct. 26, when the classified shoots for 

 the club medal will be decided, in addition to which several 

 sweepstakes at clay-birds will be shot.
