PIARCH 36, 1891. 



BREWER VS. ELLIOTT. 



THE <wo experts of experrs have met. and given a lucky com- 

 pany of spf'otators somcj samples of shooling tliat, is Blwoting. 

 The. ma.lch was for $1,000 per side, at the Marion Qronnds of the 

 Jersey City Heights Gun Club. The first round was aliot Thurs- 

 da V. JMarch 19, before a crowd of nearly a thousand. It was after 

 Elliott's defeat by W. H. Wolstencroft that the friends of John 

 L. Brewer, through Frank Kleintz, challenged the phenomenal 

 Wesret-ner to a three days' match at 100 birds per man per day, 

 fr>r $1,0110 an inning. The challenge wns promptly met, with W. 

 S. Uumion as the representa tive of Mr. Elliott. The first shot 

 was tired at Doon after IE. A. Penroseliad beeuagreed upon as ref- 

 eree, with Fred Qtiiuiby as sta>ke holder, E.D.Miller afB trap- 

 puller, Pentz and Keller as ;corers. 



The Inrds were first-elasa throughout, and the decision upnn 

 them very satisfactory. Brewer won the toss and went first to 

 tiie trap. He is a magniiicent specimen of American manhood, 

 over tift. high, of fair coniplsxion, blue eyes, and a flowiug mus- 

 tache: h.5 was dressed ia a dark jersey, dark pants and Crrant hat: 

 he killed his first bird in fine style, using a ^p-ilb. Greener gun. 

 which he won in Eugla.iid; lie loaded with Von Lengerlce & Det- 

 mold Bin. shell?, 4rlr. Scliuitze powder, wadded with n. card-board 

 and two pink-edged wads, lysoz. of No. 1' Sparks chilled shot, with 

 light cari'-iioard wad. In his movemeuts Brewer was quiet, easv 

 and collected, in marked contrast to the sharp, nervous gait of 

 Elliott, who nest took his place at the score. In his dress he some- 

 what resembled a cowboy, top hoots, dark pantaloons, a buckskin 

 shooting shirt and a cinnamon colored slouched hat surmounted 

 all; yet Elliott is a handsome man, stands 5ft. lOin. high, weighs 

 16811)8, and is 36 years old; he is of dark complexion, jet black 

 hair, which he wears neatly trimmed: a heavy mustache, not so 

 black as hia hair; large, dark hazel eyes, M'hich denote him to be 

 a man of good disposition; his poise is graceful, nnd he scarcely 

 uttered a word from the commencement to the ending of the 

 match, leaving all to the referee, and accepting without comment 

 all his decisions. 



His first bird fell dead within a few feet of the trap pierced by 

 shot from both haiTels of his Greener gun. He used Climax sheila, 

 loaded with SJ^dr. Sohult/je powder, held down with one card- 

 board and two pink-edge wads, IJ^oz. No. 7 chilled shot, having 

 one card-hoard wad on top. 



The first miss came with Brewer's third bird. He also let No. i 

 go. but Elliott followed snit by slighting Nos. 4 and .5 on his score. 



Without going into detailed description of each shot, sufflce it 

 to say that it was hard hitting and holding, with now and then a 

 long and hard shot, which brought cheers from the impartial 

 crowd. 

 The score stood:

Totals: Brewer, 116. Elliott, 114. 



John L. Brewer — 36 drivers. 32 right quarterers, 32 left quarter- 

 ers, 14 incomers. 11 towerers: dead out of bounds 2: used second

 11 incomers, 18 towerers; used second barrel 90 times, 24 times to 

 kill, and 73 times for safety; number of birds called. 8, 



Among those present were Milt. F. Lindsley and his charming 

 wife, who is quite an expert trap shot; G. H. Squires, C. W. Dim- 

 irk, Isaac Wolstencroft, Geo. W. La Kue, Louis Duryea, J. R. 

 Lawrence, B. S. Smith, E. B. Magnus, E. A. Summers, Frank 

 Class, J. H. Brientnall, F. R. Sheppard, Prof. H. Meusch, Robert 

 L. Smith, Al. Beers, C. M. Hedden, Sam Castle, Daniel Terry, Phil 

 Lumberger, Dr. Knupp, Robert Lawrence, Chauncey Flovd- Jones,

 Wolstencroft, W. H. Wolstencroft, J. Fi-ank Kleintz, ,1. David 

 Davis of Philadelphia, and Richard Roche of St. Louis. 



It was indeed a remarkable match. Those present said it was 

 one of the best ever shot in this country. Brewer said that he 

 tad the hardest birds and had been outlucked. He also found 

 fault with the referee's decision on two doubtful birds, one of 

 which was. he thought, certainly shot on the ground. Elliott, 

 when asked to what he attributed his defeat simply said, "I didn't 

 shoot my gait." 



The second match of the series was set for Saturday, but the 

 rain came down in sheets and a strong northeast wind blew in 

 from the traps, making any sort of a test out of the question, so it 

 was decided to postpone the match until Thursday the 36th, with- 

 out interfering with the date of the match previously set for 

 Tuesday, March .34. 



The second race on Tuesday brought out a crowd of 600, and 

 they were well repaid by the magnificent performance of Brewer, 

 who scored 99 out of his 100, his 70th bird, a hard-hit righi-quar- 

 terer, landing dead on a roof just out of bounds. Brewer showed 

 himself from the start too much of a man for his competitor; he 

 was cool, deliberate, shot hard, won constant rounds of applause 

 and (as he put it in reply to a hail from a friend) "as happy as a 

 clam at high water." 



Each man shot their 7M Greeners, loaded as on Thnivsday and 

 under the same Hurlingham rtiles. Elliott won the toss and 

 sent Brewer to the score. Brewer killed clean, and kept it up to 

 his 70th bird. Elliott's first got away and landed on a roof just 

 beyond the line, the same roof that Brewer's single lost bird fell 

 on. Elliott lost his other, a hard-hit driver, which landed 80yds. 

 out of bounds; the 9th followed, but then a straight run was made 

 until the 6l8t. Mortally wounded, it fluttered to the outside fence 

 and lay there dying, while Al Heritage's Duke (retrieving for El- 

 liott) was Btealtliily sneaking up to it. Before the dog reached 

 the bird, however, a gorilla lad from outside stuck his hand 

 through the fence, seized the bird and drew it out. The howl 

 that went up was something to be heard; it cannot be described. 

 Referee John Riggott reftised to rule the bird as "dead." but 

 ordered another one, which proved to bo a straight driver, which 

 Elliott missed. His 84th carried the lead out of bounds, and 

 losses were scored on his 90th. 95th and 97th. Frank Kleintz's 

 dog saved Brewer's 82d bird, which had strength to getaway, and 

 would have done it but for the gatherer's expertness and cool- 

 ness. 



Elliott and his backer, Cannon, showed their irritation as the 

 match was going to dead against him, and a protest was made as 

 to the loading of Brewer's shelle. The big Philahelphian was not 

 choice in his language when commenting upon this insinuation of 

 sharp practice, but Referee Riggott opened two of the cartridges 

 and poured out a perfectly legitimate charge, and this measuring 

 up drew a chorus of jeers from the lai ee delegation of Philadel- 

 phians present. Following are the sco (•?,=;:

A PIGEON SHOOTER'S OR.ITORY.-Apropos of Monte Carlo, 

 It is usual for the administration to give a grand dinner to cele- 

 hrate the finish of the pigeon-shooting season, followed by a dis- 

 play of fireworks, which on a still night light up the bay of 

 Monaco and give a singularly beajititul effect to its picturesque 

 surroundings. One year, at one of these festive dinners, a gen- 

 tleman who only knew a few words of the French language hav- 

 ing won one of the principal prizes, had his health proposed and 

 rose to return thanks. Knowing the task that was before him, he 

 had carefully learned a few words as a reply to the toast. Whether 

 it was the length of the dinner or the excellence of the wine that 

 made him forgetful I know no t.but when h e got up and the cheerino- 

 that greeted him had sub.sided, he began, in faltering tones: "Mee^ 

 sieurs!" Then there was a pause. At length he repeated, "Mes- 

 sieurs!" upon which an important guest called out, "Faitesle 

 jeu." This fairly settled the speaker, who again stammered out 

 the word, "Messieurs!'' But he collapsed utterly when the:afore- 

 said guest shouted, "Rien ne va plus," and sat down amid, the 

 good-humored laughter and chafE of all his friends.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Il.-The Alameda Gun Club had its 

 openiiig shoot for the season at the Oakland race track this after- 

 noon, but notwithstanding the fact tliat the day was a glorious 

 one, scarc^ a fourth of the membership put in an appearance. 



club match, 12 birds, 30yds. rise, was the opening event and 

 brought out 11 members to the score, Mr. Wooster, a euest of the 

 club, joining in the shoot by invitation. Three prizes in the shape 

 of club medals will be offered for the best average scores made at 

 four out of six club stioots. F. B. Norton made a clean record by 

 bringing down his dozen birds in fine shape with 14 cartridges. R. 

 E. Bell and H. Schroederdid splendid execution, knocking over 11 

 bii'ds each, while Fred Wooster and John Cadman both got 10. 

 Mr. Wooster was in very bad luck, for the two birds charged up 

 against him were swift tail-enders, which dropped immediately 

 out of bounds. The score was as follows:

Sweeps followed. The closing event was a freeze-out, which 

 was not decided before the lengthening shadows of the night put 

 an end to the sport. The Alameda Gun Club, vrhich has 50 mem- 

 bers on its roll, met on Thursday and elected the following 

 ohioers and hoard of directors for the ensuing year: C. T. Mor- 

 risou. Pres.; L, P. H. Bolander, Vice-Pros : H. P.Houghton, Sec'y;

WELLINGTON. Mass., March 21.— A man has to be something 

 of an enthusiast for trap-shooting who would stand outdoors in 

 such a cold a^nd heavy rainstorm as we had this afternoon. Bat 

 there are some men of just that stamp in the Wellington Gun 

 Club and they attended the regular weekly shont of the club. In 

 the classification merchandise match, at 15 singles and 5 pairs 

 standards, Barrett won in class A with 18 and Bradbury won in 

 class B with 14. 



DETROIT, March 24.-The first of the monthly tournaments to 

 be held by the Inter-State Manufacturers' and Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation began here to-day. Standard keystones were the targets 

 used, and the high winds that prevailed twisted them in every 

 conceivable angle, making the snooting extremely diflicult. The 

 handicapping of the experts, making them shoot at unknown 

 angles, was tried, but was tho'ight to be too severe and will pro- 

 bably be modified.

 A CRUISE TO THE WEST'ARD. 



STOCKING up our fond seemed easy enough, for a cottager on 

 shore told Hi thai all we had to do was to climb the bluff and 

 we would find stores enough. \ ery plain and easy apparently. So 

 after dinner I set out with a large imsket una pMth through the 

 woods. The bluif was ■s'ery high and steep and the day very hot, 

 and that, combined with a generous allowance of fle-sh, started 

 the perspiration in great shape. I'o make my trouble complete, 

 the paths branched in every direction, and 1 soon found I was 

 making a circuit of the place instead of giiug shopping. After 

 half an hour's climb I found a store that seemed to have every- 

 thing I wanted, and I soon filled my basket with a generous 

 supply. When I came to pay for it, imagine my despair on find- 

 ing! had not a cent with me. 



LTp to now the storekeeper had been rery bland, but his manner 

 changed in a hurry. He intimated that that racket had been 

 played on him by boatmen as oiten us it woitld work, and gave 

 me to understand that I stayed in the store till my bill was 

 liquidated. How I could stay in the store and go after the money 

 al the same time he could not say; so I left him my regards and 

 my basket, and started out over those crazy paths to find my boat 

 and my money. It took nearlp two hours to do this, and w'hen I 

 got back to the store again it was closed and the owner gone 

 home to supper. There was nothing to do but wait till he came 

 back, which he did about sunset, apparently tnuch sUTpri.sed to 

 find me there. I madu good time baok to our boat this time, as I 

 hnd learned the path pretty well. After supper we srent the 

 time very pleasantly for a few hours aboard a fishing schooner 

 lying near us, picking up points about that part of the coast and 

 telling yarns. 



Nest morning such a breeze met otu- faces on tttrning out aa 

 one rarely feels, so cool and clear, and braciny. Overboard we go 

 for a sv.-im, then nut a piece of salt pork c-j :> V,i-oK. and in a few 

 miuute-s catch a mes.s of small bluefi«h i i . t They were 

 small, but very sweet and tt-nder and 1... l.-. After break- 



fast was cleared away we got sail up with cue reet m for comfort, 

 and that was the last time we took that reetitt for the rest of the 

 cpuise, fur v-'o kept it in after tliah, ' • - -
