BROOKLYN TRAPS. 



BROOKLYN, Feb. 12.— The membevs of the Parkway Gun Club 

 assembled m force at Dexter Parli grounds to-day to take 

 part in tbe regular monthly shoot for Ihe club badge and a band- 

 some extra prize donated by E. Helgans, one of the best shootors 

 in the club. Some good scores were put up by the members, and 

 three of the shooters succeeded in leaving the traps with, clean 

 scores of 7 birds killed each. They were J. Bennett, E. Helgans 

 and J. Savage. The shoor-off of the tie bet^veeu these three marks- 

 men was protracted, and created incense interest among the 

 spectators Six birds more had been killed by each before Savage 

 missed a strong left-quartering driver and dropped out. Bennett 

 and Helgans managed to riise their respective scores to the hand- 

 some total of 14 each. As Mr. Helgans had been the donor of to- 

 day'sprize, he waived his further rights, and presented the trophy, 

 as Weil as the right to wear the club medal for the next montn, to 

 the Long Island farmer. 



Although Woodlawn Park, L. I., is a place reached not without 

 discomfort on a soft day, the Coney Island Rod and Gun Club's 

 members are always well represented at the club's reauiar shoots, 

 even if it should happen to rain. To-day's fine weather offered all 

 the greater attraction, and twenty- four shooters were present to 

 do battle for a handsome medal presented by Excise Commis- 

 sioner .John Scbliernann and four cash prizes. D. Monsees, who 

 has won the badge once before and was defeated last month after 

 a long race I'resident H. McLaugblio. oulshot, H. W. Blattmaclier 

 and P. De.ver on the second and third rounds respectively. The 

 second prize was divided between H. McLaughlin and A. ISppijf. 



Two matches were shot besides the regular shoot, one a three- 

 cornered one between .Schlietnann, A. Eppig and L. Eppig, 10 birds 

 each man. lowest man to pay: A. Eppig 10, J. Scbliernann 9, L. 

 Eppig 8. The other match was a twenty-bird couiest between J. 

 Schmaedecke and H. W. Blattmacber, and was won by the former 

 by a score of 18 to 17.

 the twelve sportsmen present, J. Vagts, killed seven birria 

 straight, and secured first money and tbe club badge. Messrs. 

 Gilmanand Hegans, tbe latter being a new member of the club,

On Tuesday there was a very good little programme of sweep- 

 stakes, beside otlier enjoyments such as only old New Orleans can 

 offer, and that in Mardi Gras time. Tne following account is 

 taken from the New Orleans Pi«ayu?ie of last Wednesday morn- 

 ing: 



"The Louisiana Gun Club continued its entertainment of the 

 Northern shooters yesterday. Many sacrificed the pleasures of 

 shooting for the attraction of tbe parades, but there wa' a large 

 guard of the faithful on hand and the shooting fast and fine until 

 the gathering darkness called a halt. The shoots led to better ac- 

 (juaintHnoeship and wiil result in more frequent meetings, the 

 company being mutually agreeable. Dr. Bernard, Malcolm 

 Cameron and the Vicksburg shots also showed up well and a 

 Mississippi team will doubtless result. Another con9eq_uence of 

 the trip will doubtless be a match between JSast and West to be 

 decided at Pensacola. Both sections are represented by fine 

 shooters in the excurtion party, and there is considerable friendly 

 rivalry between the men. 



"The first sweepstakes was at 6 clay-pigeons. Skinner and Par- 

 melee made clean scores, each killed 4 birds straight in stiooting 

 ofi" the tie and finally divided. Saunders and Tnornhill tied for 

 second with 6ve birds, and Thoi'nhill won the shoot off. Mc- 

 Dowell won third money. 



"The second match was at 5 live birds. Porterfield killed 5 

 straight and won first money. Skinner and Page divided secoud, 

 and Parmelee and Cameron, although scoriug only three each in 

 the match, divided third after killing five straight each in the 

 shoot-off. 



"Nearly all the cracks entered in the shoot at 10 singles, clay- 

 pigeons. Heikes shot beautifully, made a clean score and took 

 first money. McMurchy, Parmelee and Landry divided second 

 money ou 9 each. Dr. Bernard, Page, Cranmer, Cameron. Quimby 

 and Miller made 8 each, and in shooting off Cranmer and Cam- 

 eron killed 3 each and divided third. Skinner, Davenport and 

 Porterfield divided fourth money. 



"Another match at 10 singles was more evenly contested. 

 Heikes again made a perfect score, but McMurchy and Cranmer 

 tied him, and the three divided. Saunders, Page, Polly, Porter- 

 field, MiUer and Barthelemy made 9 each, and when the race nar- 

 rowed down to Saunders, Miller and Barthelemy they divided. 

 Brown, Parmelee and Jones divided third on 8. Skinner. Febiger, 

 Field and Cameron divided fourth. 



"A sweepstakes at 8 pairs of clfi y-pigeons followed. Nap and 

 Parmelee divided first money on 9 each. Porterfield, Lindsley, 

 Miller and Poursine divided second with 8 each. Brown, Cameron 

 and Cranmer divided third with 7 each. Polly, Saunders, Mc- 

 Murchy and Page tied for fourth, and Saunders and McMurchy 

 finally divided. 



"The >)iggest shoot of the day was at 2.5 singles. Heikes, who 

 failed in doubles, came to the front again with another clean score 

 and took lirst money. Parmelee and Miller divided second with 

 23 each. Cranmer. McMurchy and Barthelemy divided third on 

 22 each, and Cameron and Skinner divided fourth on 31 each. 



"Another sweepstakes at doubles brought Parmelee to the front 

 again, he taking lirst money with 9 birds. Mayronne, Lindsley, 

 Page and Miller made 7 each, and Lindsley won tbe shoot-off. 



"In another sweep at 10 singles, Saunders, Bernard and May- 

 ronne made 10 each, and Bernard and Mayronne divided after 

 breaking 3 more each. Cameron and Page tied for second at 9 

 ach. Cameron woa the shoot-off, Polly, Porterfield, Barthelemy, 



Poursine and Kaufman tied on 8 each, and Poursine and Barth- 

 elemy finally divided. 



"In another match at 10 singles, Poursine and Wm. Miller 

 divided first oii 10 each. Mr. Miller ia a young (^rleanian who has 

 been trap shooting less than a year, and his performance was 

 especially creditable. Mayronne and Cameron tied for second 

 place with 9 each, and Mayronne won the raonev after a stubborn 

 contest. Dr. Bernard and Portei'field divided third on 8 each. 



"The excursionists leave this morning for Mobile and will go 

 thenco to Pensacola, where one of tbe strongest teams in the 

 South has organized and awaits their coming. The Pensacola 

 men write that there will be shooters from everywhere on hand, 

 and that they have decided to continue the shoot from the 12th to 

 the 16th. The Dixie Gun Club has a sheltered stand under which 

 1,2.50 people can see the shooting with comfort, and has made 

 every arrangement for a good time and lively contest." 



The following telegram is received from Mobile: "Mobile, Ala , 

 Feb. 13.— The North will bring back the championship cup with 

 it. The. score in the team race at live birds to-dav was: Northern 

 team 106, Southern team 79. Five men teams, 25 live birds." 



E. HouoH. 



Mobile, Ala., Feb. 13.— The Northern shooting team arrived 

 here duly, and deiiarted last night for Pensacola, carrying the 

 scalps of the Mobile boys with them. Tbey ouf^boot the .Southern 

 marksmen at the trap, though in the sport of the licld they might 

 not, do so well. Tbe entertainment was under the auspices of the 

 Dixie (juii Club. The main match was the North and South cliam- 

 pionship contest, live men teams, 25 live birds, American Associa- 

 tion rules. The Northern men repeated their New Orleaus score, 

 106 out of 125, and won hands down, beating the residents by 27 

 birds. Score: 



Northern Team. Southern Team.

Sweepstakes followed after the ma'n match. First sweep, 8 live 

 birds, the North won first and second, Mobile only div. third. In 

 the shooting at bluerocks, also, the visitors outclassed their hosts. 

 There are some of tho best inanimate target shots of the country 

 in this Northern party and our shooters feel fiattered to think 

 they made even so good a showing as they did. Tbe Northern 

 gentlemen carry our best wishes and compliments with them. 



W. T. S. 



Pbnsacola, Feb. 13.— The delegation of Northern trap-shooters, 

 30 strong, arrived here to-day from Mobile. The shooting was 

 confined to a sweepstake. The shooting at New Orleans and 

 Mobile gave the honors in the national match to the Northerners, 

 who won in both. To-morrow a match betsveen the Illinois and 

 Dixie Gun clubs will take place. Each team will contain 10 men, 

 who will shoot at 25 live birds each. 



Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 11.— The inter-State shooting between 

 Illinois and Florida to day was decided in favor of Illinois by a 

 score of 110 to 105. The match was at live birds. The teams com- 

 prised 10 men each, each team having 15 targets.
