NEWARK, April 17,— The return match between the Our Own 

 Rifle Club, of this city, and the Bridgeport Rifle Club, drew a 

 large crowd of shooters at the park on Thursday. The conditions 

 were 10 shots per man. American standard target, at 200yds. 

 The team's were to comprise 10 men each, but as the visiting club 

 was short-handed the match was shot with 8 men on a side." The 

 match resulted in favor of the Our Qwns, despite the fact that 

 two or three of the members made wretched scores. The scores:

 famous rifleman, headed the list of prize winners, placing the 

 good total of 89 points to his credit, Strong, the third competi- 

 tor, ran up 74 points, using a military rifle; a good score. The

 eral riflemen were on hand for practice. F. Kuhnle and George 

 Helm were out to practice for the*California Schuetzen Club 

 diamond medal, and some of the scores they made were phenom- 

 enal. Captain Kuhnle made the following score during the morn- 

 ing while the light was good: 23, 21, 21, 21, 20, 24, 34, 24, 23, 23, 24, 

 22, 23, 23, 23, 24, 21, 23, 23, 22—451. Messrs. Kuhnle and Helm then 

 shot twenty pools, which resulted in a tie except that Helm made 

 one more dead center than his opponent. The average of both 

 marksmen was 21.5 rings. A 20-shot match between Adolph 

 Utcbig and George Helm resulted in a victory for the latter by a 

 score of 434 rings to 362, On Sunday last at Harbor Yiew George 

 Helm, during practice, made 460 rings in his last 20 shots, a score 

 which if made in a regular shoot would have entitled him to the 

 diamond medal.

THE TRAP. 



If they always have as much fun as they did the day I was with 

 them, I am very sorry I can't meet them .'oftener. I derived half 

 as much pleasure from witnessing the evident good fellowship 

 that pervaded the clubs as from exhibitions of skill at the trap. 

 The Wellington Club held a big shoot for the Climax diamond 

 badge, I think it was— anyway Stamon and Dickey tied and shot 

 off, the latter winning. Shortly after it opened a fine-looking 

 middle-aged gentleman, Mr. W., arrived on the grounds, ' Walk- 

 ing up to a young fellow who was cleaning his gun, he extended 

 his hand and in a gravely polite tone, said: "I am quite certain, 

 sir, that I have seen your face before somewhere, but cannot re- 

 call just under what circumstances. Could it have been down to 

 the island, or was it out Taunton way?" Grasping the proffered 

 hand the youngster replied with equal gravity: "Oh! don't you 

 remember? It was up in Vermont; that time you ran for Con- 

 gress up there, and were defeated by a labor candidate— a colored 

 gentleman. He proved that he once sawed two and a half cords 

 of wood, and you could not prove that you had ever done any 

 work of any kind." Mr. W. unlimbered his Eutebrouk and took 

 his place at the score. The youngster formed the center of a small 

 knot beeind him. He was shooting American wood powder, and 

 when he was doing a good stroke of hitting, one of the clique 

 would say: "That wood powder is the clear thing; see it make 

 dust of 'em." And when he would miss some one would remark: 

 "Wood powder isn't worth a straw, is it boys?" 



At one of the regular shoots of the Boston Club I made the ac- 

 quaintance of a very pleasant gentleman, whose shooting name, 

 "Nichols," covers that of one of Boston's veteran riflemen. I am 

 very sorry that an ugly sore throat prevented me from meeting 

 him later at the range of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, to 

 one of the shoots of which club he was kind enough to invite me. 

 At the same shoot was Mr. F., a middle-aged man "of considerable 

 avoirdupois, whose side snap Scott was a "holy terror" to clay- 

 pigeons. And in the joker's arena his pith, dry and withal Tather 

 incisive humor, was equally able to take care of itself. After the 

 programme was exhausted, F., Nichols and one or two others, in- 

 cluding myself, were on our way to the Wellington depot, when 

 we met a small boy leading by a long string a specimen of what 

 the stickler for long generic names might possibly call Canis 

 domesticus cur-tew, but which those who, like myself, don't know 

 much about that sort of thing, would denominate just a common 



and at the same time he held the string SO close to F.'s hand that 

 he made an involuntary motion to take it. Amid a chorus of war 

 whoops we entered the car, Nichols and I taking a seat just oppo- 

 site the one chosen by the would-be dog purchaser, who leaned 

 his gun case against the arm of the seat in front. The genial sec- 

 retary of the Boston Club came briskly along, and accidentally 

 striking F.'s gun with his toe sent it ringing down on the floor. 

 "That's right," says F., not repressed a cent's worth, "kick that 

 old gun as much as you like; I don't blame you; she makes lots of 

 trouble for you in the sweeps." "Ah! F.," says Nichols, "if you 

 wanted to hurt his feelings you should have said, 'Please be care- 

 ful in future how you approach that gun— she's dog-shy'."

INCIDENTS IN A PEREGRINATION. 



"Changes are heartsome. "—Old Saying. 

 "Nature's mighty law is change."— Pope. 



IF it is good for the dwellers in crowded cities to get out in the 

 country once in a while, and enjoy the pure air and quiet 

 scenery, why does it not benefit a man who gets a superabundance 

 of mountain breezes and sunshine to visit the city occasionally, 

 if only to make him more fully sensible of the blessings he daily 

 enjoys in the country? In the spring of '87. having a soare month 

 on my hands, and arguing as above, I paid th ing visits to half a 

 dozen New England towns, and wound up with a three weeks' 

 Stay in Boston. Considered purely from the standpoint of a 

 sportsman, the trip was not by any means a dead failure. Bos- 

 ton, be it known, besides beiug the center of culture, is the place 

 where a good many flying targets are destroyed, and boasts of a 

 good many shots of no mean ability at. the trap. I had an ardent 

 desire to see some of them perform; and no reader of Forest and 

 Stream, with a few spare days on hi3 hands, need leave that city 

 with such a wish ungratified. Thus it was that a not undersized 

 and thoroughly interested bushmau might have been seen in the 

 last days of April haunting the shoots of the Boston and Welling- 

 ton gun clubs, and in the word's of Pinder when he showed the 

 tableau of "Washington a t'ankiu' de Irish soldiers at the battle 

 of Ball's Bliff," "Oi'm him," 



COUNTRY CLUB, April 19.— There was an unusual lv large 

 gathering of ladies and gentlemen yesterday at the picturesque 

 home of the Country Club at Westchester, and the fact that the 

 day's shooting scheduled would probably close the club cup shoot- 

 ing for the season drew many sportsmen. The day was excellent 

 for this sport, and the pigeons behaved themselves in a wav that 

 brought, out the skill of those who shot, The shooting was by far 

 the best done there during tho season, and fine shots were made 

 so frequently that applause was continuous throughout the vari- 

 ous matches. The shooting began at 11:30 o'clock. Jordan L. Mott, 

 Jr., acting as referee, and N. D. Thome chairman of the shooting 

 committee. The first cup was then shot for under these con- 

 ditions: Seven birds, handicap rise 20yds. and under, one miss to 

 count as no bird; allowonce to run on ties, entrance 85. After a 

 sharp fight A. Fredericks carried off the prize, killing 14 straight. 

 W. H. Sands was second, killing 12 straight. The conditions for 

 the second cup were: Unlimited number of birds, handicap rises, 

 two misses and out, entrance $5. It was won by N. D. Thorne 

 with 13 straight. The third cup closed the morning's work, and 

 was shot for under these conditions: Five birds, handicap rise 

 37yds. and under, one miss to count as no bird, entrance 85 It 

 was won by Mr. Fredericks, who killed 11 birds straight. Shoot- 

 ing was resumed after lunch, and the number of contestants was 

 increased by additional arrivals on the afternoon trains. The 

 fourth cup was started off with full 22 entries, and was shot for 

 under the conditions, handicap rise, miss and out, entrance §5. 

 The wind blew pretty well at this time, and the sportsmen 

 had to look sharp to "stay in." On the first round twelve 

 went, out, and on the second round two more, and another dropped 

 out on the third. Three more rounds brought it down to a close 

 fight between Fredericks, W. J. Brokaw and Dr. Kuapp. Brokaw 

 missed IPs ninth bird and went out. Dr. Kuapp missed his tenth 

 bird and also went out. Pearson killed his eleventh bird and 

 won. The match for the last cup was then started with 21 en- 

 tries, and was shot for under the conditions, unlimited number 

 of birds, handicap rise, t wo misses out, entrance $5. This gave a 

 little more leeway and made the tight "to stay in" both enter- 

 taining and merry. In it the contestants showed up splendidlv 

 and on the first round only four men missed their bird out of ttie 

 whole number entered. Only two dropped out in the second 

 round. The match was extremely lively, and 5 single-barrel shots 

 were made by Brokaw, Sands, Felton,T. W. Thorne, J. D. Thorne 

 P. Watson, F. Hoey, C. Hitchcock, Fredericks, Williams and Dr' 

 Knapp, the feature of the match was the fine race between Fel- 

 ton, Fredericks, M. Chauncey, Dr. Knapp and P. Watson, the 

 others having dropped out at the close of the ninth round. Then 

 Felton missed and went out. The others fought on and hung 

 steadily together, when Fredericks went down on his thirteenth 

 bird. Chauncey went out on his fourteenth bird and left the race 

 to Dr. Knapp and Watson. Both of the gentlemen made very 

 pretty work of it and applause was abundant. Dr. Knapp had 

 one miss tallied against him on his sixth and Watson had one 

 against him on his seventh. Both shot in succession their fif- 

 teenth, sixteenth, seventieth and eighteenth birds. Dr. Knapp 

 then killed his nineteenth. Watson missed and left Dr. Knapp 

 the winner. Thislclosed the cup shooting for the day, and in all 

 probability for the season, as the pigeon grounds will be closed 

 May 1, except for private matches.
