CLASS AND DALY VS. KLEIN! 2 AND IRWIN. 



ON Thui'sci;ij , Nov. 14, the match between Frank Class, of Pine 

 Brook, N. J., and Phil Daly, Jr., of Lout,' Branch, against J. 

 Frank Kleintz and R. E. Irwin, <f Philadelphia, wis shot 'at Erb'S 

 Park, Newark, N.J. The conditions agieed upon were 50 live 

 birds each man, under Hurlintrham rules, and the amount at 

 stake was said to be 8200 a side. ""The general opinion among the 

 fraternity was that the Philadelaphia team had much the best of 

 it, but a live-bird shoot is " one of those things no fellow can tell 

 anything about." That was exemplified in the present case, as the 

 Jerseymen finished winners by 8 birds. The race was called for 

 1:3(1 o'clock, and at that time about 150 spectators were present, 

 eager for the fray to begin. Some offers of bets were made at 

 odds of 875 to $50 on Philadelphia with no takers, but consider- 

 able even money was put up on the individual scores of Kleintz 

 and Class. At the outset the Philadelphians took the lead and 

 were shooting in good form, besides which they had the luck of 

 the birds, particularly in Kleiutz's case; however, that adjusted 

 itself later, and Kleintz, as well as the others, was obliged to 

 shoot at some extremely hard ones. Class's birds were a succes- 

 sion of rapid drivers and twisting quarterers, which he stopped 

 in tine stylo. Irwin shot well up to the 15th bird, and then his work 

 became very ragged, as in three different places he made suc- 

 cessive misses. Daly seemed troubled with nerves at first, but 

 kept pounding away and finally shot himself into good form, his 

 work on the last 25 being excellent, as amoug the Jot were some 

 "corkers." The birds were supplied by John Erb, and were the 

 finest that have been seen for many a day. With the exception 

 of two or three that could not, fly, they were all strong, hardy 

 creatures, and some of them managed to carry two charges of 

 shot outside of bounds. Hying directly into the wind, which blew 

 with considerable force straight across the traps. In consequence 

 of this their flight was mostly directed to the right, aud with the 

 strong breeze pushing them, rapidity and great accuracy of aim 

 was necessary to bring them down. Several times when the trap 

 were sprung the bird did not take wing at once, leading the shoot er 

 to expect a soft one, when suddenly, *" whiz ! " away he would be 

 off at a speed that defied stopping. This feature, the unusual ex- 

 cellence of the birds, made the race a very interesting one. Up 

 tothe 42d bird Kleintz was 4 ahead of Class, but in the last 8 he 

 missed 4, and their scores were a tie.

NEW YORK SFBU K BAN.— New York, Nov. 16.- At Claremont, 

 N. J., this afternoon the sunny, bright weather tempted a number 

 of shooters to indulge in sweepstake shooting. The traps were 

 strung very hard and the bluerocks and Keystones went hum- 

 ming through the air, making it difficult to make good scores; 

 however, they show tip very well. The attendance at these shoots 

 r3 increasing and will soon be up to the standard of a year ago. 

 The preliminary steps to organizing tho Claremont Shooting 

 Grouuds Association were taken this afternoon. The name was 

 decided upon and the capital stock fixed at $2,500. divided into 

 100 shares a I $25 each. As soon as the proper authority is re- 

 ceived from the Spate, the officers will be elected and things begin 

 to boom. Below are the scores of to-day, matches at 10 bluerocks,

CATSKILL, N. Y„ Nov. 18.— Fred. ToUey's trap-shooting con- 

 test (Nov. 13), and the elements seemed to agree very well on the 

 dale for a display of rain and shooters. This was the second at- 

 tempt to have a nice little tournament in Catskill. Loth being 

 met with rainy days. The attendance was small from local as 

 well as visiting shooters. Although small, a very good time was 

 had by the visilirig shots from Saratoga and Albany. The smoke 

 banked over the traps, which caused considerable annovance as 

 well as some sport, because the shooter would have to look twice 

 in order to see the bird, once as it would appear from the trap 

 and again above the smoke. Following are the winning scores

WALNUT HILL, Nov. 13— The usual number of shotgun en- 

 thusiasts reported at the range to-day, and put up some credit- 

 able scores in spite of the unfavorable weather conditions. 4 

 drizzling rain made the smoke hang low at the firing points, and 

 rendered it difficult at times to follow the flight of the birds. In 

 the gold coin match Perry and Stanton tied for first place, while 

 Messrs. Bowker, Gale and Perry all recorded clean scores and 

 won each a point in the match for the Standard Target Com- 

 pany's medal. Gold coin match, 15 clay birds and 15 Standard 

 targets, Keystone system of squad firing:

 was had between two of the most prominent shooting men of the 

 Orange Gun Clu b. Match for a wine supper at 25 birds each man, 

 Orange Gun Club rules to govern: 



A Crommel in 1011111101011 11 011—14 



W Furth 1010. : 



As it was impossible for Furth to tie, much less to win, he with- 

 drew, leaving Crommelin an easy winner. The day was a delici- 

 ous one in its weather, clear, bracing, and more than a suspicion 

 of wiuter in the west wind that was blowing. The birds were a 

 magnificent lot of flyers, as good as any that have been furnished 

 for a shooting match tiiis season. Furth had the worst of luck, 

 no less than four dropping dead "as a sod" not a yard over the 

 boundary line. Immediately after the conclusion of the Crom- 

 melin-Furth contest, the members of the Orange Gun Club inaug- 

 urated their regular monthly contest at the traps. This club is 

 one of the most popular in Essex county. The shooting quality of 

 the men is as good as the club is popular. On this occasion seven 

 men came to the score to contest for the monev prizes offered by 

 the club, and for the very handsome gold badge as well. Condi- 

 tions: Monthly shooting meeting, handicap rises, 8 birds each 

 man; all ties to be shot out. otherwise modified Hurlingham rules 

 to govern. Mr. Smith killed his birds straight and captured the 

 badge and first money. Furth, Raynor, Crommelin, Matthews 

 tied on 6 kill and divided second. Chapman captured third with 

 5 killed. Hurl but scored 4 kills and took fourth. 



UNKNOWN GUN CLUB— The members of the Unknown Gun 

 Club held their regular monthly shoot at Dexter'8 Park, Jamaica 

 Plank Road, L. I., Nov. 14. The birds were extra good. One bar- 

 rel allowed only. H. Knebel, Jr., J. Cahill and J. Akhurst tied

WHITE HOUSE, N. J., Nov. 18.— The fourth team shoot 

 between the respective gun clubs of North Branch and White 

 House, which was to have takon place Nov. 16, was postponed on 

 account of the sudden death of Claudius Abbott, one of the mem- 

 bers of the White House team. Mr. Abbott was an active and es- 

 teemed member of our club, a genial sportsman and an enthusias- 

 tic trap shot, and his loss will be much felt by the club. The 

 shoot will probably take place on Thanksgiving day.— H. Bishop.

A PADDLE ACROSS LAKE WINNEPESAUKEE. 



IT was two summers ago, and the scribe and his chum, having 

 _ just entered the canoeing arena that season, had chosen Lake 

 Winnepesaukee for their tw 7 o weeks' cruising ground. 



We had purchased two canvas Rob Roys a few days before our 

 departure for the lake, and had had little chance to become ac- 

 quainted with our craft, to know how they would sail, or in what 

 fashion they would behave in a seawav. 



Shipping the boats to Lake Village, a hamlet on the western 

 shore of the lake, we followed two days later ourselves, arriving 

 late in the afternoon. We at once prepared our ships for sea, and 

 soon were paddling away up Lake Paugus, an arm of the larger 

 lake. That night we camped on the west shore of Governor's 

 Island, aud tried the true canoeist's dodge of sleeping in the ca- 

 noes. But we soon decided that either our 3ft. cockpits were 

 three feet too short, or else that we were that, much too long. 

 This latter conclusion was arrived at by my companion, who 

 measures 6ft. 5in. in his stockings. At all events, very little sleep 

 did we get, doubled up like jack-knives all night. And to complete 

 our purgatory a skunk visited us at early dawn, forcing us to 

 leave our *• comfortable " quarters for the woods, while the " Gi- 

 ant's" black and tan, Sancho, drove ;our unwelcome caller out. 



After an early breakfast, and a hath in the bright and quiet 

 lake, we landed and paddled northward round the island, our 

 course lying to the sotithwestacrossthelaketoTougbtonborough, 

 where we later established our headquarters. Before we had 

 covered a mile two fellows hailed us from the mainland, where 

 we saw their tent in a splendid growth of pine. On going ashore
