THE TRAP IN BROOKLYN. 



BROOKLYN, Feb. 25.— Although the weather to-day was verv 

 unfavorable to good shooting, the members of the Diana

 were present, eight of the first and seven of the second class of 

 the club. They snot at 5 glass balls each first, and 10 bluerocks 

 afterward. The scores made were, comparing the weather con- 

 ditions, better than at the last shoot, and, as no ties had to be 

 shot off. the gentlemen found time to contest in a number of 

 sweepstakes. The glass ball shoot, in which the first prize is 

 awarded at the end of the half year to the marksman who has the 

 largest aggregate score, was won by H. Brower with 4, in the first 

 class, while P. Steins, C. Heisenbuettel and F. Guthbelate were 

 tied with 3 out of 5, in the second class. M. Brown and D. Froe- 

 licli lead at present with 8 in Class A, while Ruggen, Guthbelate 

 and Heisenbuettel have 5 in class B. in the bluerock shooting, 1>.

 winner with 8 straight; M. Brown missed on his seventh bird, and 

 A. Botty ou his sixth. Second money went to Sullivan, and third 

 to Froelieh. In the second sweep, when the fog was very heavy, 

 none of the shooters were able to break 3, D. Monsees capturing 

 second prize on 1 out of 3. Third and first money was added, D". 

 Froelieh winning the pot on 5 straight. Referees, Messrs. Brower

Frl>. The members of the Glenmore Rod and Gun Club did 

 not appear in their usual numbers at Louis Miller's shooting 

 grounds on the Jamaica Plank Road to-day. although it was an 

 ideal day for a meeting at the traps. Two sweepstakes at 3 birds 

 each, then miss and out, were shoot off before the club shoot. The 

 club shoot was won by E. Helgans with the onlv clean score, llel- 

 gans also winning in two sweepstakes although he seemed to be 

 out of condition, and looked far from well. The other winners in 

 the sweeps were W. Levens, A. Botty, A. Eppig and J. Schliemann. 



The initial shoot of the Erie Gun Club took place this afternoon 

 at Woodlawn Park, Gravesend, L. I. The attendance was not 

 large and the shooting only fair. C.Plate, the treasurer of the 

 club, won the gold badge and first prize with a score of 5 out of a 

 possible 7 birds. M. Elsas?er was second, killing 2 out of 3 in the 

 shoot off. C. Jumbo w T on the third prize.

March 1.— Despite the aspects of the weather this afternoon a 

 number ol admirers of pigeon-shooting journeyed down to Wood- 

 lawn, L. I., and contested for the handsome solid gold medal 

 offered by Walter S. Phillips, of New York. The shooting was at 

 /28yds. rise from 5 traps, the boundary being 80yds. A strong 



northeast wind prevailed throughout the shooting, and tho birds 

 were below the average, being slow flyers, but quick in rising. 

 Many that were killed were shot as they rose from the traps. 

 Fifteen sportsmen from various clubs entered the contest, it be- 

 ing agreed that each man should shoot at U) birds each from the 

 5 traps named. The prisse was finally carried off by Alfred W. 

 Bookman, of Brooklyn, he killing the full number of birds. 



Only a few of the Crescent Gun Club member reported at Dex- 

 ter Park to-day, the majority finding their own homes a great 

 deal more comfortable than. the continual drizzle outside. Four

 guests taking part in the two sweepstakes which were shot off 

 subsequently, The gold badge went to L. S. Vagts on 5 out of a

LINCOLN, 111., Feb. 22.— A match was shot here on Washington's 

 Birthday between L. C. Schwerdt ferger, of this city, and Charles 

 S. Weaver, commonly known as "Happy Jack," of Mason City, 111. 

 The match was agreed on early in January, and was the subject 

 of conversation in trap-shooting circles in this county for the 

 past mouth. If, was hard to guess the outcome, as both men are 

 evenly matched, and had frequently faced the traps in the last 

 year with varying success. The conditions of the match were 

 that it should be shot under the American Association rules at 

 one hundred Keystone targets per man for $25 per side. The first 

 fifty birds to be at unknown angles, and the second fifty at bird,-? 

 thrown out of three traps in regular order. The weather was 

 disagreeable, and in the morning the snow was thick on the 

 ground and still coming. It looked as if the match would be 

 postponed, but "Happy .Jack," who thought; the weather in his 

 favor, insisted that the shoot must come off, and accordingly in 

 ihe afternoon the traps were set up in Sportsman Park, and the 

 shOQters got ready for work. Fred Rimerman was selected as 

 judge for "Happy Jack," and Chas.H. Wheeler for Schwerdtfeger. 

 William C. Davis was chosen as referee. "Happy Jack" lost the 

 toss for start, aud Schwerdtfeger promply sent, him to the score 

 to open the game. The score for the first 50 was as f ollows: 

 "Happy Jack". . . .00(100011 1 1110011110101111111001 1 11101 1 11110100011-33 

 Schwerdtfeger. . . .11111111 lllll 11 11101011111(1101)101 111 1 1101 11111101— 42 



Undismayed with the nine goose eggs that be was behind, 

 "Happy lack;" started the second 50 with a grim determination, 

 of knocking his man out if he could. The weather was cold and 

 shooting difficult and positively disagreeable, Schwerdtfeger is 

 not as tough in build and muscle as "Happy Jack," and was 

 beginning lo show the effect of the rapid shooting on his nerve 

 This made "Happy Jack" confident that he could make up on 

 the score, if not got ahead. The shooting that followed shows 

 that he had calculated pretty well. The second 50 at known 

 angles was as follows: 



"Happy Jack".. ..1U101 11 1JM1 0111 111000111111111111111011111 110H0— 40

 "Happy .lack, lirsf 11 l"i y, :<3; second, flftv, 40; total 73. Schwerdt- 

 feger, first fifty, 42; second fifty, 35; total 77. The scores for both 

 men are low, and beneath their usual average. Both had bad luck 

 in not shooting the shells and loads they are accustomed to. 

 Weaver had a lot of shells loaded specially for the occasion, but 

 the loader forgot to send the combination, and as a result. 

 "Happy Jack" missed every bird he shot at with them. Other 

 shells were procured, and results were more gratifying, The 

 unlucky start Weaver had would have knocked cooler men out. 

 but did not seem to razzle-dazzle him in the least. He is a nervv 

 fellow and a good loser. Schwerdtfeger had shells loaded for 

 a cannon: by some fool mistake they were charged with 4J4drs. of 

 King's powder which made his gun recoil with a vengeance. The 

 pounding Schwerdtfeger got madebim pant like a dog in August. 

 "Happy Jack" was as cool as a, cucumber, and shot rapid] v, leaving 

 his opponent no time to get his breat h. In fact both men shot 

 entirely too fast. Had they taken a little more time and rest 

 between beats they would have made much more creditable scores. 

 "Happy Jack" shot a 10- gauge Parker, while Schwerdtfeger shot 

 a 10-gauge Smith hammerles^: both used black powder and l^oz. 

 No. 8 soft shot. After the match, a sweepstake, was shot as fol- 

 lows: Ten Keystones, three traps, known angles, American 

 Association rules.
