FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Nov. 7, 1889. 



GERMAN GUN CLUB.— This flourishing organization has 

 closed its trap season with many of its members off after game 

 afield. The club is in good financial condition, and the member- 

 ship has been steadily growing until it has become one of the most 

 important organizations of its kind in the city. The officers of 

 the club are: J. Boessnecker, President; F. Pfaonder, Vice-Presi- 

 dent; H. Greitner, Treasurer; J. Schlieht. Secretary, and P. Sau- 

 ter, Shooting Master. Although the club held only five shoots 

 during the year, the scores made show a very fair average, and 

 the meetings at the traps are always of the most enjoyable kind. 

 The club badge has to be won three times, not necessarily in -t.be 

 same year, before it ca r be retained, and the owner is not allowed 

 to to win it twice in succession. 



The first shoot of the year took place at Dexter Park on March 

 12 and the medal was won by J. Schlieht with 11 birds out of a 

 possible 12. At the second shoot on May 13 J. Cawein and J. 

 Boessnecker were tied on 9 birds killed, and Cawein, who won 

 the medal, had to kill 7 more before he could out shoot his op- 

 ponent, who is not only the President, but also a veteran of the 

 club. F. Pfaender won the medal on July 19 with a clean score 

 of 10, and also on Sept. 18, with a score equally as good. The last 

 victory won him the medal for good, Mr. Pfaender having car- 

 ried off the honors in one of the shoots of the previous year, and 

 the treasurer had to open the club's strong box for the purchase 

 of a new badge. E. Blank was the winner on Oct. Hi. Mr. 

 Blank who is also a member of the Northside Gun Club, is 

 a- new member, and has participated in only two of the New 

 York German Gtva Club's tournaments. At the dinner which 

 the marksmen enjoyed on tk^t day, Shooting Master Sauter an- 

 nounced to his fellow members that the club would disband for 

 the winter, and expressed the hope that the members would be all 

 at their posts again at the first shoot in the new year. He called 

 special attention to the fact that, although the organization had 

 been crippled by the secession of a number of dissatisfied mem- 

 bers two years ago, the true sportsman's spirit of those remaining 

 in the fold had enabled it not only to survive the shock, but had 

 lifted it to the pinnacle of its present prosperity. Soups and 

 recitations took up the rest of the evening, and it was a late hour 

 when the members started on their way homeward. The year'

HARRISBURG TOURNAMENT. 



THE first annual tournament of the West End Social Gun Club 

 at Harrisburg, Pa., was a success both socially and finan- 

 cially. A number of visiting shooters were in attendance and 

 expressed themselves as well pleased with all arrangements The 

 base ball grounds at the western end of the city, and within easv 

 reach by cable cars, was the scene of action, and there the three 

 days of sport were pleasantly passed. Two sets of five traps were 

 in operation for inanimate targets, one set for Kevstones and the 

 other for Standards, and American Shooting Ar" 

 governed. The same rules were strictly adhei 

 shooting, the bour dary being HOjds. from the 

 ground traps were used. The weather was charming thro 

 the shoot, and as a result of it much hiteresL has been awakened 

 among some who of late have taken no part in trap-shootin^ mat 

 ters. The. scores follow in full; all tits were divided except where

NEW YORK SUBURBAN GROUNDS. 



NEW YORK. Nov. 2.— Editor Vtirest and Strcayn: The critical 

 moment in the lite of the New York Suburban Shooting 

 Grounds Association came to-day; result— the association is dead, 

 but the grounds still live— too expensive buildings absorbed all 

 the cash put into the concern, leaving some debts unpaid, the 

 creditors became importunate, put a lieu on the building, and the 

 shetitr sold the same to the highest bidder this morning. 



The purchasers are strong parties who are able to carry out the 

 fundamental ideas advanced when the grounds were opened over 

 one year ago. They are about as follows: 

 1st. A paid superintendent on the grounds all the time. 

 2d. Grounds open every day (except Sunday) to the public for 

 practice or sweepstake shooting. 



3d. A testing apparatus for ascertaining the pattern and pene- 

 tration of shotguns. 

 4th- Facilities for live bird and inanimate target shooting. 

 5th. The encouragement of such shooting by providing conveni- 

 ent grounds where marksmen from different clubs may gather, 

 and by giving tournaments from time to time on these grounds. 



Theie ought not to be any antagonism between the clubs located 

 ill the vicinity of New York and the management of these grounds; 

 they should work in harmony for the development of the noble 

 sport of wmg-shooting. Every member of a club knows what it 

 is to carry a gun and load of cartridges to the. club grounds, only 

 to find no one else there; or if one or two whooters turn up, there 

 are no traps set up and no trappers to work them when they are 

 set up. On the Ctaremont grounds the traps are always in readi- 

 ness, and an employee on hand whose business it is to take care 

 of them and run them. 



Again, suppose a New York man should buy a gun. Where can 

 he go to test its shooting qualities before taking his new and un- 

 tried weapon into the field? The writer knows of no place outside 

 of Claremont. The owner would most likely oe shut up to the 

 plan of a physician of my acquaintance. He gets his gun out of 

 its case once or twice each week and squints along the barrels at 

 o b.iec is around the room. Better than no way, but not much prac- 

 tical use- 

 Now that the future of these grounds is assured, let the trap- 

 shooters of the vicinity rally and make them a success. Shooting 

 next Saturday, commencing at 2 o'clock. 



The shooting to-day was fair, considering the rain and darkness. 

 Below are the scores; ties divided unless otherwise reported:

TRAP SHOTS IN A PALACE CAR. 



EVER since the inception of the American Shooting Associa- 

 tion, its president, Chas. W. Dimick, of Boston, has had" in 

 view a grand scheme for furthering the interests of trap-shoot- 

 ing, increasing the number of shooters and therebv swelling the 

 volume of trade in guns, ammunition, targets, etc., etc. This 

 plan was to give exhibitions of shooting by teams of men repre- 

 senting the East and the West, in the principal cities of the South 

 and West, It was his idea to have the Association back t his trip 

 and its members derive any benefits accruing therefrom. The 

 Association, however, did not take kindly to the idea, the cost 

 rather deterred them from undertakingit, so Mi-. Dimick decided 

 to make the trip himself, or rather the company he represents, 

 the United States Cartridge Co., which will stand all expenses. 

 The plan provides that the shooters shall go as guests of this 

 company. All arrangements have been made with the railroad 

 companies to haul the private car, in which all will travel, sleep 

 and be fed. Every convenience, including a steward, cook, waiter 

 and general utility man, has beeu provided to attend to the wants 

 of the travelers. The. personnel of the teams is as follows: Ihe 

 East will be represented by It. McMurchy, of Sj : acuse, N. Y ; H 

 B. Whitney, of Phelps, N. Y.; W. H. Wolstencrof t, of Philadel- 

 phia, Pa.; 0. R. Dickey and Wm. E. Ferry, of Boston, Mass 

 The Western team has for its members C. W. Budd, of Des 



follows: Starting as Cincinnati, Ohio, about Jan. 14, the following 

 cities will be visited in the order named: Louisville, Ky„ St. 

 Louis, Mo.; Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans, La.: Houston, Dallas, 

 Austin, San Antonio and El Paso, Texas; Los Angeles, San Fran- 

 cisco, Stockton and Sacramento, Cal.; Portland, Ore.; Taco ma 

 and Seattle. Wash.; Ogden and Salt, Sake City, Utah; Leadville 

 and Denver, Col.; Kansas City, Mo.; Omaha, Neb.; Des Moines, 

 Iowa; St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Chi- 

 cago, 111.; Detroit, Mich.; Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio: Pittsbui'gh, 

 Pa.: Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany and New York city and Boston, 

 Mass. In each city a match will be shot between the teams at 200 

 targetss a side, 30 singles and 5 pairs per man. thrown from 3 

 screened traps at unknown angles. In all probability dealers in 

 sportsmen's goods in the various cities will offer handsome prizes 

 for the high scores made in their cities or for the best average on 

 the trip. The scheme is a liberal and enterprising one, and the 

 result will be to make the wheels go round the Huo livelier than 

 ever.
