 forenoon was spent in "crockery" sweeostakes. After lunch the

NEWARK, N. J., April 10.— Three hundred enthusiastic sports- 

 men assembled at Erb's Shooting Park. Newark, to-day. to wit- 

 ness what proved to be one of the most interesting contests that 

 has taken place in this vicinity f or years. The day was a superb 

 one for shooting, and the birds furnished were a good average lot 

 for this season of the year. The Pennsylvania men were clearly 

 outclassed, but the score put up by the Newark shooters was a 

 phenomenal one, and it is doubtful if any ten men in the country 

 could have beaten them. The match was shot under modified 

 Htuiincham rules, and, as the Lehigh men were not familiar with 

 1 hem, thev being accustomed to shooting under old "gun-below- 

 the-elbow" rules, they were heavily handicapped. The shooting 

 bpgan proraply at 12 o'clock. The conditions were 10 men a side, 

 10-gauge gun. to st and at 30yds. rise. The Lehigh Club were short 

 one man, and, as the Newark men offered no objection, Mr. J. 

 Netter shot two scores. After the match ended sweepstakes were 

 shot until darkness put a stop to the sport. The Fourth Ward 

 Guards, f if Newark, took charge of the visitors lor the evening, 

 and the men from the Keystone State expressed themselves as 

 well pleased with their visit. Mr. W. R. Hunt, of the South Side 

 Gun Club, acted as judge for the Newark Club, and Mr. D. S. Ul- 

 mer for the Lehigh Club. F. H. KeRer acted as referee and Jacob 

 Pentz as scorer. The scores:

THE AMERICAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. - The pro- 

 gramme for the tournaments to be given by the American Shoot- 

 ing Association (Limited), at Columbus, O.; Lafayette, Ind.; St. 

 Louis, Kansas City and Minneapolis, are now ready and will he 

 mailed with a classification certificate inclosed on application. 

 Targets alone will be used at Columbus and Minneapolis, and 

 both targets and live birds at Lafayette. St. Louis and Kansas 

 City. More interest than ever before is being taken by the SDorts- 

 men of the country in our tournaments, as the large daily appli- 

 cations for blanks testify. It is not necessary to qualify for each 

 tournament separately, as many seem to think. Shooters not 

 having sufficient time to get their classification cards from the 

 New York office, can, by presenting certificates properly filled 

 out and signed, have them issued to them on the grounds. — J, M. 

 Taylor, Manager.
