May 2L— The tournament practically closed last night, all the 

 programme having been shot out, and most of the shooters then 

 left for home. A few of 'he faithful gathered at the club house 

 to-day, however, and put iu half a day or so at sweep shooting. 

 Among these were Messrs. Oourtuey, Heikes, Miller, Parker, 

 Wherry, Penrose, George and Louis Hilsendegen, etc., enough in 

 all to fill the dinner table well. The weather was very beautiful 

 and the boys had a pleasant time. 



Thus ends a very memorable and noteworthy shoot, and all 

 shooters may keep Detroit and the Peoria Club in mind and come 

 there if they go to any shoot, for they may there be assurred of 

 a smooth and systematic shoot under the most beautiful surround- 

 ings, and may, moreover, be assured of treatment not only fair 

 and square, but full of genuine and abundant courtesy. 



One instance may be added to show the rapidity of the tiring at 

 this shoot. Messrs. Courtney, Heikes. McDonald, Wolstencroft, 

 Whitney and Richardson— known on the grounds as t he "Big Six" 

 squad— broke 144 birds (out of 150 shot at) in 12 minutes. At that 

 rate the scores pile up very last, and that fact should excuse con- 

 densation in presenting them. 



This was a shooters' shoot and no one man made much money. 

 Nearly everything was divided except the special prize consisting 

 of a pair of pants. Still, everybody went away very well pleased, 

 and when that is said the whole ground of praise for a tourna- 

 ment is covered. 



The features of the shoot have been Heikes, Wolstencroft, Kel- 

 sey and a few others close to them. Rolla Heikes struck a terri- 

 ble gait this week. He has made a run of over 100, and after the 

 first day seemed to get about everything he wanted. His running 

 mate, big Scot t McDonald, of Dayton, showed himself to be no 

 slouch, either. It was hot company all the time, and it is prob- 

 able that such a collection of men will not get together again very 

 soon. A good many of the boys go on to the Milwaukee shoot 

 next week, and some will be at Chicago the week following. 



Over 33,000 birds were broken during the shoot, counting sweeps 

 and all. E. Hough. 



SAN FRANCISCO. May 17.-The first match for the "live-bird 

 challenge, medal of 1890" was shot off to-day at the Oakland Race 

 Track. Shooting commenced at 10 o'clock, and though the hour 

 was rather early for a full attendance of sportsmen, outside of 

 those directly interested, the number of those present gradually 

 increased as the day wore on. 



The medal given is open 'for competition to all residents of the 

 Pacific Coast, and is emblema tic of the Coast championship. All 

 matches are to be shot under the rules of the American Shooting 

 Association, at 40 single live birds. Each time a. competitor wins 

 the medal he will be set back one yard in the next match in which 

 he may again compete for it. The entrance fee. for each match 

 is $20, with cost of birds and trapping extra. If the number of 

 entries in any match are such as to require it the squad shooting 

 system cm be used, or the number of birds reduced. In the first 

 match the 1890 medal constitutes the first, prize, 30 per cent of the 

 entrance fee made up the second and 20 per cent, the third prize. 

 The conditions under which the medal is offered state that the 

 competitor winning the first match shall hold the medal, subject 

 to challenge against all comers, one week's time being given him, 

 upon being challenged, to name the time for the next match, 

 which has to take place within one month from the date of chal- 

 lenge, failing which the donors will name the time and place for 

 the next match themselves. All matches after tbe first one will 

 be open to all comers, with an entrance fee of $20, tbe total 

 amount of which is to be divided as follows: First prize, medal 

 (provision being made for 10 per cent of entrance fees to be given 

 to holder of the medal on surrendering it to the judge at each 

 match); second prize, 30 per cent; third prize, 20 per per cent, and 

 fourth prize, 10 per cent of entrance fees, the final winner of the 

 medal to claim the championship of the Pacific Coast for 1890, at 

 live birds. If. as has been stated, to-day's attendance was slightly 

 slim in the early morning, the afternoon saw growing crowds of 

 fancy shots, who are taking a great interest in the contest. The 

 birds flew strong, and the shooting throughout was well up to the 

 mark, C. B. Smith coming out ahead with a score of 37 as a win- 

 ner of the first match. It now -remains with him, if challenged, 

 to fix the date for the next match. In the afternoon, Captain 

 Brewer, the champion trap-shot of the world, paid his first visit 

 to tbe gun grounds. "As yet," he said, in answer to inquiries, 

 "nothing has been signed, sealed or delivered in the matter of 

 matches here, hut three or four are on the cards that are likely 

 to prove, somewhat exciting. Anyway, I mean to stay right here 

 for awhile yet, in the hopes of making some matches." After the 

 medal match had been shot off $5 pool-shooting was indulged in, 

 C. H. Haas and Randall dividing the first, R. A. Eddy winning 

 the second, with C. B. Smith next, C. H Haas again winning tbe 

 third. The following is the official score of the medal match :

D ANBURY VS. NEW HAVEN— A 100 live-bird race shot at 

 Haine's Pond, N. Y., for a purse of $200 between a team of Dan- 

 bury men and a New Haven team, the latter winning by three 

 birds. The birds were as fine and as strong flyers as are often 

 found, 150 being extra, birds. Mr. Woodruff, of Dnnbury, carried 

 off the honors with a score of 21; he is a strong shooter and de- 

 pends largelv on his second barrel. Mr. Manley is an old hand at 

 the trap, and killed his birds in good shape. Mr. Putney and 

 Nichols are slow shooters and made some clever stops with their 

 second barrel. C. Longden is an old and experienced hand at. the 

 trap, and generally gets there. L. Mitchell is a shooter of great 

 nerve and made some fine stops. Quinlan believes in his first 

 barrel and short boundaries. Savage is a shooter to depend on 

 in a close race, three of his birds being dead out. of bounds. It 

 was a fine day. and the New Haven team was highly entertaiued 

 by the Danbiiry men, and retulned home well pleased with their 

 day's sport. Hurlingbam rules, 28 and 30yds.:

 BROOKLYN, May 22.— The regular monthly shoot of the Hill- 

 side Gun Club at. Louis Miller's Dexter Park to-day was not very 

 largely attended, although the weather was fine, with just enough 

 wind to give an extra zest to blue-rock shooting. Many members 

 remained awav because the club badge, tbe emblem of the club's 

 championship, bad been won for good by that skilful young trap 

 shooter, Henry Knebel. jr. Of course, the absence of any club 

 prize did not make the meeting any more interesting, but had the 

 members known what was in store for them, they would proba- 

 bly have attended in a body. Mr. Louis Miller, the proprietor of 

 the Dexter Park shooting grounds, came to the rescue of the club, 

 and presented a handsome gold medal to the Hillside marksmen, 

 to be competed for during the remaining four months of the 

 club's shooting year. In to-days contest Mr. Liuk won the Miller 

 badge, with the handsome score of 17 out of the possible 20, at 21 

 yards rise. Frees was a good second 'with 15. Sweepstake shoot- 

 ing followed the regular club event. 



May 23— The Crescent Gun Club held its monthly shoot on the 

 Dexter Park grounds, L. I., this afternoon. The score : Club shoot 

 for badge and extra prize; seven birds each man; modified 

 Hurlingbam rules ; 12-bore gun to shoot at 28 yards, 10-bore gun 

 at 30 vards— W. Gilman, 0 ; Dr. O'Brien, 15 ; M. Winchester, 0 ; A. 

 De. Bevoice, 5; L. C. Hopkins, 4. In the tie for first place, 3 birds 

 each, then miss and out, both Gilman and Winchester missed 

 their second bird; Gilman killed his fourth while Winchester 

 missed. 



LONG BRANCH, N. J., May 23. -The Central Gun Club ha 

 accepted an invitation from the Fountain Gun Club of Brooklyn 

 to take part in a, shooting tournament for a $100 silver cup on the 

 grounds of the Fountain Club on Thursday, June 5. The Centrals 

 have selected the following team : William D. Campbell, Elisha 

 W. Price, Philip Daly, jr., George Cubberly and .Tophia Van 

 Dyke; substitutes, William C. Price, Fred Beale, William R. 

 Joltne and Edward E. Taber. The competing teams will be com- 

 posed of five men each, each man to shoot at ten live birds. 



HARRISBURG, Pa., May 22.— Harrisburg, Pa., gives another of 

 its popular shoottng tournaments on June 5, 6 and 7, and if the 

 replies to the invitations are any indication of its success, it will 

 be more largely attended than the one held last fall. Every 

 shooter was well pleased la^t year, atd if smashing 12,000 inani- 

 mates, killing 800 live birds, with prizes aggregating nearly $3,000 

 afford any amusement, the crowd must have bsen happy. One 

 feature of these shoots is, that the boys are constantly at the 

 score, aud there are no long delays in starting fresh events or In 

 settling those shot off. An efficient committee is always in charge. 

 Harrisburg is fortunately situated for holding large meetings of 

 any kind on account of its excellent railroad facilities. Being 

 but a few hours' ride from New York, Philadelphia and Balti- 

 more, a good representation from those cities is always here, and 

 its surrounding towns have a large shooting element, big enough 

 for any ordinary shoot. The association grounds, inclosed, and a 

 few minutes' ride in the street cars from all depots, with first-class 

 hotel accommodations at special rates to shooters, but a stone's 

 throw from the score, are a few features that help to make these 

 shoots popular and successful. A good progamme is always made 

 up, and lots of traps, birds and. targets, and entries of 65 to 70 to 

 any event are common. At least 300 shooters are expected to 

 attend next week. 



LINCOLN, 111.— The following scores were made at the last regu- 

 lar badge shoot of the Lincoln Gun Club of this city, held May 12. 

 Conditions, 25 single Peoria blackbirds, 3 traps; unknown angles. 

 American Shooting Association revised rules: L. C. Schwerdt- 

 feger 24, Robert Schuster 18, Harry Webber 17, Henry Ahrens, Jr., 

 16, Robert M. Wildman 15, Hiram S. Stansell 14, Thomas Moran 

 14. Scbwerdtieger wins gold medal, and on shoot-off Moran lost 

 and now carries the leather medal.— Sachem. 



JEANNETTE GUN CLUB, May, 33.— The members of the Jeau- 

 nette Gun Club are noted for the fact that they would much 

 rather shoot at good, strong, flying birds than at duffers, and thai 

 they always wish to have a sufficient lot of pigeons at hand. 

 Last Friday when the regular monthly shoot of the club should 

 have taken place, birds of good quality were so scarce that the 

 Jeannette marksmen were forced to postpone their meeting for 

 one week until to-day. 



The prizes were the three class medals which have to be won 

 three times before they can be retained, besides an extra medal 

 given by the President. Capt. Cordts, which will go to the shooter 

 who kills the most birds during the year by the use of one barrel 

 only. Modified Long Island rules governed ; that is, the gun must 

 be held below the elbow uutil the bird is on the wing, but both bar- 

 rels may be used. In ties a bird killed with the second barrel 

 counts as half a bird only. 



In the first class which shoots at 28 yards' rise, H. Otten and 

 Chas. Brunie tied, each one having killed 6 pigeons with tbe first 

 barrel and 3 by firing twice, with one bird missed. On the shoot- 

 off Otten killed his first bird with one barrel, the other 2 with 

 both, while Brunie brought all 3 down by firing twice. In class B, 

 which stands 25 yards, F. Baar was the winner, with 9 killed and 

 1 missed, and iu class C. 21 yards' rise, H. Winter captured the 

 emblem for the second lime, with 8 out of the possible 10. Mr. 

 J. F. Hottmann and F. Baar tied for the Cordts badge on 8 pigeons 

 killed with the first barrel, Baar defeating Rottmann on the 

 shoot-off. A sweepstakes at 5 birds each man followed the regu- 

 lar event. Messrs. Brunie and Loeble divided first money, H. 

 Otten, J. Rottmann and C. Meyer second, and Messrs. Christen 

 and Eibsen, third prize. 



CLAREMONT SHOOTING ASSOCIATION, May 34. — The 

 monthly tournament took place yesterday and to-day, and though 

 favored with fiue weather, the attendance both days was rather 

 small. A fine lot of birds was provided for Friday, and over 400 

 were shot. About 250 are now on haud, wel 1 cared for in the new 

 inclosure just completed for live birds. Thi.3 is a large space ad- 

 joining the pigeon house, wired on top and sides and having 

 gravel bottom. The management intend using these birds on 

 Decoration Day, May 30. There will be no regular progiamme, 

 but the grounds will be open for sweep and practice shooting all 

 day. Live birds from 9 to 1 o'clock, bluerocks only the rest of the 

 day. Sweeps will be made up for such amounts as majority of 

 shooters desire. Lunch on grounds.— Ad Vance.
