NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 8.— The 100-bird race advertised 

 to take place on our ground March fl had to be postponed. The 

 day was the worst we have had in several years. It snowed and 

 hailed and the wind blew a regular gale. Nevertheless a few of 

 the shooters put in an appearance. ,iust after dinner, among them 

 being Mr. Lindsley, of wood powder fame, and Mr. Cowee, of Bos- 

 ton, Mass,, who with a few local shooters faced the traps for the 

 rest of the day in sweepstake shooting. We think the scores fail- 

 considering the weather. The wind blew the snow diagona 11 y 

 across the traps and into the shooters' faces, which made it hard 

 to keep either eye open lone enough to see the birds, to say noth- 

 ing of the sight on the gun. We intend to try that 100-bird race 

 over again Tuesday, March 18, next. Following are the scores of 

 March 6. No. 1, 9 Keystone s, 3 Keystone traps, American Shoot-

NORTH END VS. T. H. BRIGGS.-Frankfort, March 8.-A 

 team from the North End Gun Club went to Chester this P. M. 

 to shoot a return match with the T. H. Briefs Gun Club ou their 

 grounds. TfrU, like the first match of the series, resulted in 

 favor of the North End Club. We are aware of course how im- 

 polite it is to beat a club on its own preserve, but a team from our 

 club had been beaten on their grounds aoout a vear ago in the 

 face of a howling snowstorm aud by such a very close count that 

 it has stuck m a tender spot ever since, and a desire to get even 

 has heeu manifested till now. The scores made are consid-rably 

 below Hie average; in fact all hands shot verv poorly, the number 

 of unaceoun tables he'ping materially to swell the missed column. 

 The conditions were 10-meu teams and 25 single clay birua each. 

 At the last minute one of our men was taken sick, and it being too 

 late to get another the match had to be shot with 9 men, which 

 was disappointing to both sides: 



North End Club. T. H. Briggs Club.

The North End Club has plenly of fun on hand, A challenge 

 from us has Ceen accepted by the Frankford Gun Ciuh, to a series 

 of tr.endly matches. The first match will probably be arranged 

 for the loth. We have also challenged the West Jersey Gnu Club, 

 of Camden, and will probaoly shoot on their grounds a hour the 

 29th, the date being still undecided. We have lecentlv been chal- 

 lenged by the Wawasett Gun Club, of Wilmington, which com- 

 munication awaits action by the club, with no doubt of its being 

 accepted. There is a live bird match with a team from the 

 Sportsmens' Club, awaiting date and particulars. This is to be 

 the return match of the oue shot at Gloucester on Feb. 20, in 

 which the North End came out ahead.— J. C. Shalloross, Sec'y

CLAREMONT SHOOTING GROUNDS.-Claremont, March 8.- 

 It was expected that the ties for the money accumulated as en- 

 trif s for the Lef evre trophy would be shot off to-day, and most of 

 the contestants were on the gronnas; but absentees in each class 

 made postponement, necessary. The money and trophy are ready 

 for tne winners, and the management hopes to be relieved of the 

 responsibility of caring for them longer. The ties are as follows: 

 90 Class— Si gler. Collins and Johnson; 80 Class— Lindsley and Capt. 

 Jones; ?0 Class- Jersey, Hathaway and Tatham. There is good 

 money in each "pot," and each man must get a slice with three 

 moneys. Ties shot off at 50 targets, Kevstone rules. An all-day 

 tournament will he held on Saturday, March 29, commencing at 

 9:30 A. M. A good programme will be prepared— Ad Vance.

WOODSIDE GUN CLUB, March 4.-To-day was the opening 

 day for the 1890 prize shoot of the Woodside Gun Club. The 

 grounds are, beautifully located on the edge of the N. Y & Green- 

 wood Lake R. R., just back of the Forest Hill station, it is read- 

 ily reached from all points, and consequently a large number of 

 gentlemen shooters can always be seen either participating or 

 looking on. The grounds have a name among shooters as being 

 hard on big scores. This is due to the fact that however light the 

 wind may seem in the city, it is always blowing a good blast there, 

 and not alone this, but the traos are alwavs kept oiled and in per- 

 fect condition and set at the last, notch. The club members say 

 they want the practice and are not looking for big scores. Five 

 rich prizes had been provided for to go to the leaders in the sea- 

 son's matches. To-day eight cracks ware out, and in lieu of the 

 targets expected 25 clay-birds were given each man with 25 Key- 

 stones as well, and tfie score ran:

LEONIA GUN CLUB.— Leonia, N. J., March 1.— Match at 100 

 Ligowski clays per man, from 5 screened traps, unknown angles. 

 The day was very raw and blustering, a hard northwest wind 

 blowing straight across the traps, making the shooting very diffi- 

 cult. The contestants were Messrs. C. D. Banta vs. "Welch" and 

 Geo. W. Gladwin vs. "Green." Messrs. Banta and "Welch" had

DAYTON, O., March 11.— Shooting fever that was worked up by 

 the visit of the Eastern and Western teams has made an active 

 winter for the trap-shooters, there being no field sport for them 

 under the law. The. rivers now are full of wild ducks, but it is the 

 close season until Sept. 1, though all around us, in .New York, West 

 Virginia. Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, the huuters are allowed 

 to shoot du..-ks in the spring. The clubs are daily shooting live 

 bird or inanimate target matches, and the fine cool weather that 

 we are having gtves great sport. A number of visitors were here 

 to witness the live pigeon match between Andy Mumma and 

 Wm. Pratchett, 25 birds each, 825 a side, Scott McDonald referee, 

 12-gauge guns, 5 ground traps, Association rules;

 victory on the lorty-fourth round, the referee acting ven queerly . 

 Both men were in fairly stood condition, although the cold 

 weather told considerably on Helgans, who is still suffering from 

 the after effects ot la grippe. The stakes were $100 a sine, and 

 the conditions were Hurlingham rules, 30yds. rise, 80yds. bound- 

 ary, Helgans using a 12 aud Balzer a 10-bore gun. In shooting at 

 the forty- fifth bird Balzer missed, a fact apparent to all impartial 

 spectators, and afterward admitted even bv men who had wagered 

 money on the Flatbush shooter's prowess. The bird would with- 

 out doubt have flown over the fence if two pot-hunters stationed 

 outside had not blazed away, the pigeon falling under their fire a 

 few feet inside the fence. The referee declared it a lost bird, aud 

 then the circus began. The referee thought it better to reconsider 

 his decision and declare the bird a "no bird," so giving Balzer a 

 shot at another bird. To this the other side naturally objected, 

 claiming that the referee had no right to change his mind. The 

 end of it was that all the side bets were declared off, while the 

 match will probably be shot over again for double the amount. 

 The score: H . Balzer 38, E. Helgans 37.
