R AVELRIG G . 



Chicago, 111., Jan. 5.— Quite a nice little party met at Majc- 

 saw-ba grounds at Davis, Ind., last Saturday, and indulged in 

 pigeon shooting. As announced earlier to occur, the Mus^ev 

 'Stevens 1 ' match was shot, 100 birds, $100, and a very close race 'it 

 was, in view of the 6-birds handicap conceded by Mr. Mussev. 

 The latter won, shooting in very clever style throughout. His gun 

 was a 10-gauge Daly, Mr. "Stevens" shooting a 13-giuge Daly. 

 The score:

 The birds were a strong lot. 



During the same meeting Mr. Mussey and Mr. C. B. Dicks were 

 to shoot off their tie, 50 birds, $50, and this was begun. At the 

 12th bird, however, Mr. Dicks's gun, a 10-gague Parker, lifter ac- 

 tion, got out of order and he was obliged to use a strange gun. 

 Not getting one that fitted him, he was at the 20th and 30th hole 

 SO badly off that Mr. Mussey very geuerously refused t.o go on 

 with the match, which will be shot at a later day. E. Hough. 



MERCER GUN CLUB. 



GOTTEN up at short notice and without proper advertising the 

 three days' tournament held at Trenton, N. J., last week, 

 under the auspices of this club, was not the success that was 

 hoped for by the management. The weather was delightful and 

 the live birds furnished were of a superior quality, but the large 

 number of shooters looked for failed to materialize. In no event 

 were there over 15 entries and these were composed mostly of 

 local talent. Among the contestants from other sections were 

 "Dory" Pearson, of Clinton, N. J.: Milton L'ndsiey and his estim- 

 able wife, who shoots under the iwm dc fusil of "Wanda;" Dan 

 Terry and "Tee Kay" Keller, of Plainfield;' Leon Grant and Miles 

 Johnson, of Robbinsville: Wm. Green, "Hollis," of Kearney, N. 

 J.; and James Beebe, of Romulas, N. Y. The Mercer Club boasts 

 of a large membership, but, as is the case invariably at a club 

 tournament, few were found to lend a willing hand, and the work 

 devolved on Messrs. Zwerlein, Updegrove, Fox and Williams, 

 assisted by T. H. Keller. Live birds were ust-d entirely on the 

 last two days, the birds being retrieved by Mahlon Fox's Irish 

 setter Nellie in a rapid and clever manner. Friday, the last dav, 

 opened with two events at live birds, the programme winding up 

 with events at Standard-Keystone targets. A match at live birds 

 was shot on Wednesday between Josh Collins, a veteran trap- 

 shot, aud Chris Huber, both of Trenton, the old man winning the 

 money, as the score below shows. The club intend to give a four 

 days' tournament in the spring, which will be properly adver- 

 tised, and they hope for better success.

RIGGOTT— DAVENPORT.— The second match between Louis 

 T. Davenport, of Brooklyn, and John Riggott, of Rockaway, N. J., 

 took place on the 13th at Dexter Park, Long Island. Promineut 

 sportsmen from all sections were there, and the spectators must 

 have numbered 500. A more lovely day for such a contest could 

 not have been asked for, the air was crisp and there was just 

 enough of a breeze to carry smoke from the gun. The birds were 

 a magnificent lot, especially the first 100. Of these Davenport got 

 a shade the worst of it, with some hard luck to boot. Riggot did 

 not appear to good advan tage in the early part of the match, and 

 shot in anything but ,lis usual form. Some of the birds scored to 

 him as lose should have been killed. However, the majority of 

 the lost birds scored by either gentlemen would have, been no dis- 

 grace to any one. At the twentieth round it looked very much as 

 though. Davenport was to have a walkover, as he then led by 4 

 birds and was shooting in grand form. On the 40th round he led 

 by one bird only, and when on the 50th bird his favorite Lefever 

 broke down he was tempted to forfeit the match. 



After an intermission of 20 minutes the match was resumed, 

 Davenport having borrowed a 12-gauge Smith that fitted him. lie 

 did good execution with it and worked hard to overcome Riggot'a 

 lead, but it was of no avail. Riggot had evidently warmed to his 

 work, for he made a run of 30 straight, not missing until his 76th 

 round. From then out the men wore about even, the match end- 

 ing on the 97th bird. There were many pretty kills made by both 

 gentlemen that provoked rounds of applause, and the match from 

 the firing of the first gun was highly Interesting. The grounds at 

 Dexter Park are perfect ones for live-bird shooting, the back- 

 ground being particularly good, and if they were more easy of 

 access they would tie largely patronized by New York and New 

 Jersey shooters. Mr. J. Pentz refereed the match, T. H, Keller 

 acting as scorer, Mr. Davenport being Handled and advised by fir. 

 Wynii and Charles Wingate, Mr. Riggot being assisted by Frank 

 Class; modified Hurlingham rules governing.

SCOTCH PLAINS, N. J.— The little gun club that has been in 

 existence for some years had its final shoot on Saturday after- 

 noon, Jan. 10 The club grounds have been situated midway be- 

 tween the village of Scotch Plaus and Fan wood, a station on the 

 Central Railroad of New Jersey. Interest in the sport has been 

 on the wane for some time past among the members, and as a 

 number of enthusiast** have recently moved to the village of Fan- 

 wood and were desirous of starting a club, it was thought best- to 

 dissolve our little club and join hands with the new organization. 

 The new grounds are to be located near the station and weekly 

 shoots are to be held. It is hoped t hat the ne w club will prosper 

 and have a long life. The following were the scores in total made 

 made in four sweepstakes at 10 Keystone targets, thrown from one 

 trap, at unknown angles:

NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 10— The South Side Gun Club held their

THE VETERANS.— Capt. A. H. Bogardus made an attempt at 

 Elkhart, Tuesday, Jan. 6, to beat Dr. Carver's record of 1,000 tar- 

 gets in thirty-four minutes. His guns worked badly and he 

 stopped after shooting 510 in seventeen minutes. He shot at. 533 

 and missed 23. This beats Dr. Carver on the 500 record. Captain 

 John L. Brewer, the wing shot, is anxious to meet J. A. R. Elliott, 

 of Kansas City. Some seem impressed with the idea that Brewer 

 insisted on shooting for gate money. This Brewer denies, and 

 states that he never mentioned the subject of gate money 10 

 Elliott while he was here in the East. Brewer's original proposi- 

 tion was to shoot one or three matches at not less than 100 birds 

 each match, the stakes to be $1,000 a side, with an outside wager 

 of any amount up to $5,000. The only clause Brewer insisted on 

 was that the matches wereto take place on some ground within 

 100 miles of New York. 



THE NEW TRAP ASSOCIATION.— Upon the ruins of the de- 

 funct American Shooting Association a number of prominent 

 manufacturers and dealers in guns and trap-shooting parapher- 

 nalia are about to form an association to be known as the Inter- 

 State Manufacturers and Dealers' Association. The object of the 

 Association is to give an impetus to and foster the sport of trap- 

 shooting throughout the country. It is proposed to hold one or more 

 tournaments each month in different sections East and West. 

 The Association will manage the meeting and give the proceeds 

 of the affair to the local club for whose benefit it is held, and the 

 club is expected to apply the same to the maintenance of a per- 

 manent shooting club. The American Shooting Association, 

 which was dissolved recently, did much in the two years of its 

 existence to encourage the sport by giving a number of tourna- 

 ments, but devoted the profits to its own fund. The first tourna- 

 ment will probably be held at Detroit .in March; the second at 

 New London, Conn., i» April: another at Washington in May, 

 and in June at Saratoga Surings, Other tournaments will be held 

 in the South and West. 



MISS ANNIE OAKLEY.— Editor Forest aud Stream: As every- 

 body knows, the news of Miss Annie Oakley's death is a Parisian 

 "fake," why started or how no one seems to know, and the load of 

 gloom dumped into the hearts of her admirers and friends is now 

 buried under an avalanche of joy. I could not believe that the 

 little lady had been taken away, but when I got a letter from 

 Frank Butler yesterday (Jan. 10), dated Dec. 80, which was given 

 as the date of Miss Oakley's death, my fingers trembled while I 

 broke the seal, fearful that the sad news might be true, but 

 no, he says Miss Oakley is as well as possible, walking ten miles a 

 day in search of game, with an appetite something like that of a 

 starved Indian. They have been visiting Wm. Graham, the Eng- 

 Ush trap shot, well known here, who keens a hotel at Ashford, 

 Kent. He also leases 1000 acres of shooting, over which he and 

 his famous guests have been having grand sport. Mr. Butler 

 tells me that Miss Oakley and himself have more invitations to 

 shoot in company with the titled gentry than they could possibly 

 accept, and are booked for enough visits to keep them busy until 

 the season closes, when in all probability they wiU return to 

 America.— Piers (Ellieott City, Md.). 



CLEVELAND, p., Jan. 8.— It was a genuine, old-fashioned case 

 of snow blindness that affected the members of the Cleveland 

 Gun Club this afternoon. The poor shooting couldn't belaid to 

 the weather, for that was perfect. 11. certainly wasn't, the fault 

 of the wind, for there was no wind, and so it must have beon the 

 snow which dazzled the eyes of the marksmen and caused them 

 to miss birds they were sure they had "a perfect line on." It was 

 the first contest under the new rules, and Upson celebrated the 

 event by everlastingly smashing all but one of his 25 into small 

 bits. He met the targets in the center and did not win by chip- 

 ping off a piece here and there, but by smashing the whole thing 

 to flinders. Rudolph was next in order with a score of 18, and 

 when the 17s finished L. O. Jones pulled out with the third badge. 

 "Fritz" won the second. After the club shoot the members 

 divided for a team shoot at 9 hirds each. "Fritz" has the honor 

 of breaking his 9 straight, while Upson and Tamblyn followed 

 with 8 each. The following are the scores of the shoots:
