CORRY GUN CLUB. 



CORRY, Pa., Dec. lS.-The Corry Gun Club closed the trap 

 shootmg season ot 1889 to-day with a grand team shoot. Had 

 any sportsman without, knowledge of the occasion happened upon 

 the club grounds they would have thought a splendid tournament 

 Was m progress, so numerous were the participants, so uniformly 

 good the scores made and so earnest, and enthusiastic the con- 

 testants, with an entire absence of the bickering and unpleasant- 

 ness so common on such occasions. 



Corry has every reason to feel proud of its guu club, the rapid 

 progress H: has made and the high position among organizations 

 ot t os kind it holds. Within the last year it has grown from 

 nothing to one ot the ocst in America. A year ago probably there 

 were not two hainmerless guns in the city. Now 50 or fid of the 

 members ot the club are provided with the newest and best guns 

 made. A year ago such a thing as gun club; grounds was h<ivdlv 

 thought ot. Now our club has one. of the finest, if nor. the finest m 

 the world, with all the newest appliances supplied by the Keystone 

 Manufacturing Company, of this city. Also a beautiful club 

 house erected thereon for the use and convenience of the mom- 

 , hers and their friends. 



The organization of this and similar clubs throughout the 

 country has bad a very beneficial effect upon enforcing the game 

 laws, in getting large numbers interested in a subject that at the 

 present time is Of considerable importance, as through the unre- 

 stricted killing of game it would not have been long before it 

 would have all been destroyed. 



A great deal of the growth and success of the Corry Club is due 

 to the courtesy of Captain Penrose, who organized it and lias 

 since carefully watched over its welfare. 



The grounds furnish a place of recreation not only for the mem- 

 bers, who annually break thousands of Keystone birds, but also 

 for Others who come and see the sport. Among the latter the 

 ladies figure conspicuously, and it is anticipated that in the near 

 future Corry will have a ladies gun club. 



The club finds that shoot ing at t he trap affords far more pleas- 

 use and gives better satisfaction than turning out and scouring 

 the country for game, and hereafter it will decide by shooting at 

 the trap which side shall settle for the supper B 



To-day's shoot was by team to fix the payment of the annual 

 supper, and the scores ran at Keystone targets from five traps:

 at the Phoenix Hotel, where Mr. and Mrs. Edwards had pn 

 an elegant, supper at the expense of the defeated team. The 

 large and spacious dining-room was completely filled with the 

 sport-loving gentlemen of the cluh, and no more 'glowing encom- 

 iums could have been paid the repast in language than each in- 

 dividual present exhibited in the absorbed and absorbing atten- 

 tion given it, and the extra dry which contributed to the hilarity 

 and good feeling of the occasion. After brief and pithy toasts 

 trom Penrose, Lewis, Laurie, Marsh, White and others, in which 

 good council and good cheer predominated, the gathering dis- 

 persed with the conviction that they had just enjoyed one of the 

 pleasantest occasions of their lives, and with the fixed determina- 

 tion that this should he but one of many more to follow.

CLASS Vs. KLEINTZ.— Newark, Dec. 13.-At Erh's Park, to- 

 day i he return match was shot between Frank Class and Frank 

 Klemtz. The day was not one favorable to the making of good 

 .-cores. There was no wind blowing and I he air was too warm for 

 coinlort and heavy overcoats were at a discount. The birds were 

 fat and lusty, and had the wind been blowing never a better lot 

 could have been asked for. As it was, many of \henf were sl^yv

Dec. 12.— The Unknown Gun Club closed the season to-day with 

 a well-attended and successful shoot at Dexter Park. Consider- 

 ing the difficult rules under which the club shoots the members 

 acquitted themselves well, five of them succeeding in bringing 

 down six out of seven birds. The rules provide that the gun 

 shall be held below the elbow until the bird is 011 the wing, and 

 that pigeons killed with the second barrel shall be counted as lost 

 birds. These rules are strictly enforced, as well as the very proper 

 one which imposes a fine on the marksman who indulges in dis- 

 criminate shooting from the platform of the club house during 

 the. progress of the club shoot and the sweepstakes. The birds 

 were a well selected lot with only a few sleepers among them.

OMAHA, Dec— The Budd -Organ Elliott- Parmalee team «iatch 

 came oft this afternoon, and the many spectators present had the 

 pleasure iOf witnessing a great shoot. The wn*tner was not the 

 best, The< sky was overcast, and the background was dark, 

 caused partially by a heavy smoke from the smelter. But little 

 wind was blo'wing, but what there was only assisted the birds to 

 get over the boundary. The American Association rules governed 

 the match. Each man used 12-gauge guns, at 30yds. rise. J. A. R. 

 Elliott was the first, man at the score, and from the start to the 

 finish the enthusiasm was great, as his continued score of fifty 

 straight caused him to be the favorite. Parmalee lost his 1st, 5th, 

 3: st, 30th, 33d, 10th, and 44th bird, five being dead out of bounds.
