As soon as the last gun hud been Qred in the team cliampiou- 

 ship race the management had a gang of men at work filling the 

 pits and taking away the serpens and scoring stands that had 

 been in use for the target events, and by 2 o'clock a.ll was in readi- 

 ness for the li^e-bird contest. At that hour lully 1,.500 people were 

 upon the grounds, and the grand stand was full to overflowing. 

 Hundreds of ladies were in the aurlience, and they seemed to take 

 great interest in the sport. The birds were only a fair lot, but oc- 

 casionally one showed himself to be a goon fast flyer. The contest 

 was shot in squads of 7 men, from 6 traps, rapid-firing style. 

 Originally the conditiors called for 15 birds a man, but as there 

 was a likelihood of running short the captains of each team agreed 

 upon 12 birds as the number to be shot at. The association has 

 made a good move in the right direction in doing away with the 

 old plunge craps, and all they have to do now to make the contest a 

 real downright pigpon match, is to adopt the onlv true sportsman- 

 like rules and have ea'^h contestant fire at five traps. The shooting 

 of the winning team was a clever exhibition, especially the work 

 of Andrews, who siopped some fast ones. Schortmler, of the 

 Emerald team, was another to distinguish himself, his killing on 

 the eleventh round of a fast driver provoking a hearty round of 

 applause. Lef ever, of Syracu?e, was another shooting in fin^lorm, | 

 and McMm^hy. of the Onondasas, won everybody by his celerity 



with the second barrel, his two birds scored as lost falling stone 

 dead ,1u9t over the bnun'lary. 



Contest No. 9, Uean Richmond trophy, value $1,1,50. To be held 

 by the witining club each year in trust, to be accounted for to the 

 State Association, to be shot for by three members of a club be- 

 longing to the Association, such memners to be residents of the 

 county in which the club is located: 15 single live birds to each 

 contestant, changed by mutual consent to 13 birds; entrance fee, 

 830 per team. The team mah'ng the highest score shall win the 

 trophy and 60 per cent, of fue eu (ranee monev, and the team mak- 

 ing the nest highest score will receive the remaining 10 per cent. 

 The ptiblished rules were so changed as to permit any position of 

 gun shooter might choose; mis-fire to be allowed as no shot only 

 whpn caused by defective plunger or imperfect primer; no chal- 

 lenge for shot marks, any bird gathered within bounds to be 

 scored dead.

Thus ended the thirty-third annual of the New Yorlc Associa- 

 tion. The meeting in its entlrefy was by far the most successful 

 ever held in the State. The fact that over 40,000 kingbirds were 

 thrown is evidence of the in cerest manifested. 



The last party to leave Rome and the Romans were the New 

 Yorkers. A special sleeper bad been chartered, and at 9*.30 the 

 party formed in line and. headed by a string "band" of two pipcps, 

 a violin and gui tar, marched to the depot. Never since the days 

 of the old-tim-' conventions was such enthusiasm shown. As the 

 train pulled out three hearty cheers were given for Rome, which 

 were returned with a will by the members of the Rome Gun Club, 

 who had accompanied the party to the depot. Tee Kay. 



PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION. 



PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 20— Editor Forest and Stream: At the 

 regular meeting of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Asso- 

 ciation, held at Harrishurg, May 15, the following resolutions 

 were unanimously passed: 



1. That the secretary notify all clubs who desire to become mem- 

 bers of the State organization to forward the sum of five ($5) dol- 

 lars to the treasurer, Jamps Wolstencroft, Frankford, Philadel- 

 phia, and that n meeting of the association be held at Harrisburg, 

 not later than -July 15, to determine where the first State tourna- 

 ment shall be held. 



3. Each club having become a member of this Association shall 

 he entitled to one vote, either by sending delegate or by proxy, 

 said proxy to he sent sealed to the president and not opened till 

 time of said meeting and upon call for vote to determine where 

 the next State tournament shall be held. 



I bone all clubs will appreciate the advantages to be derived 

 from the State Association. There is no reason why Ppnnsylvania 

 should not have such an organization, as would favorably com- 

 pete with any in the country. 



Since the meeting held May 1.5, the president has issued a call 

 for a meeting of delegates to be held at Harrisburg, July 22. 

 .Secretaries of clttbs are invited to communicate with me, and'will 

 be supplied with full partictilars. Elmek E. Shanbr, Sac'y.

ence his offers to bet $1,(XI0 to |1 that he can out-.iump, out-box. 

 out-shoot or out-bet any man in Chicago, or kick higher, or dive 

 deep, or do anything on earth better than anvbody elsp in the 

 world. Something of an anomaly and a study is Mr. '"Meade," 

 but not a bad lot a*^ all, and certainlv a man of nerye. We owe to 

 him the most exoltiog pieeon race we have had here this year. 

 At the score he wap quiet, fair and genflemanlv. 



At his SOth bird Meade took off a laced leather pad be had put 

 on bis gun stock, and from then he shot freer. As he wind died 

 he improved, and in the last three 20 strings he gained on his 

 man. At 80 K'einman was 2 birds ahead; at 89 the score was tied. 

 At 97 Kleinman dropped a bird, and thus let Mpade ahead for the 

 first time since his 8th bird. Mf ade had bepn pounding out. some 

 good runs, and his last. 15 straight, carried him out with a vim. 

 George expressed hie willingness to repeat the race nnd«r Ameri- 

 can Association rules. Under the latter rules he would have won 

 to-day. counting birds gathered for each within .50rds. At the 

 close of the race George had harder luok at losing hard hit birds, 

 but in the first ,50 the luck wis rathor in bis favor. A closer race 

 it would be hard to find. The following is thp s^ oj;p:

 Clarendon Hill this afternoon, when the Jamaica Plain Gun Club 

 entertained members of the Weymouth Gun Club. The scores in 

 the sweppstakes events were close and good, but in the team 

 match the men of both clubs for some reason were unable to 

 break the birds with the same frequency. The main event of the 

 afteimoon was the fpam maatch:

ChicagcIIL, Juneie.-There is now no hope for the World's 

 Fair, St. Louis gets it. A St. Louis man, sailing as "N. O. 

 Meade," has beaten the Chicago favorite, George Kleinman, in a 

 pigeon ma tch, and Chicago has g^t everything at half mast; 85 to 

 84, and Br'er Gawge with the 84. Oh, that is awful! 



This race was earlier announced as concluded, and both the 

 Chicago men and the merry St. Louis shooter seemed pleased 

 when the forfeit went up. The shoot'ng began to-day at Wat- 

 son's Park, the terms being $100 a side. 100 live birds, Hurlingham 

 rules. These rules were insisted upon by Meade. They are, 

 briefly, 80vds. boundary, no time limit for gathering birds, any 

 position of gun, any weight of gun. Mr. J. A. R. Elliott is autlior- 

 ity for the statement that the Hurlingham rules have within the 

 two years last past been changed to permit any weight or position 

 of gun. though I do not recall any published announcement of 

 that in this country. At any rate the above rules as given 

 were accepted by boihparties.it being further agreed that any 

 bird shot at and alighting on a btiilding should he scored otily 

 when it could be gathered bv a person standing on the ground. 



Mr. Kleinman used Roll Organ's 12-gauge Greener, 7ibs. 9oz., 

 and shot Schultze powder. No. 7}^s in right barrel and 7s in Itft. 

 Mr. "Mpade" used a 71bs. 6jz. L. C. Smith. Schultze in right and 

 FFFG Deadshot black in left. No. 7 shot in both barrels. 



Mr. John Watson was chosen referee, and shooting began at 3 

 P. M , there being at that time a stiff wind blowing from right to 

 left across the score. In the balf-w-y birds the wind had fallen, 

 and in the 80'stheair was very quiet. The birds were prompt 

 flyers, only three refusing to start, one of these being the last bird 

 that Meade shot. Had the wind kept up the scores would have 

 gone still lower. 



Meade shoots a match in a singular way. Superstitious to a 

 degree, he would not think of shooting a shell which he had 



dropped. He would not allow any one to step in front of him when I - . — — , 



going to the score. He would not think of stepping on one of the Sec'y, J. L. Sawyer, Cambridge; Trea"., Albert Keating, Quincy;

 of 'he Pencovd Gun Clob, and Joseph Campbell, ex-captain, came 

 oft' on Saturday, June 20; at 20 live biTd« each, for price of birds, 

 28yds. rise, SOyds. boundary. Mr. Campbell was seriotisly handi- 

 capped, as he was not well, and would not have shot but would 

 not disappoint a la^ge number of spectators who watched the 

 shooting with interest, and a lot of useful articles charged hands, 

 boxes of shells, cigars, bats, walking sticks, cleanine: rods, load- 

 ing tools, etc. Mr. Campbell had hard luck, as be bad some very 

 stronff bird« and had 4 drop dead out of bounds. Score:

MASSACHUSETTS STATE SHOOTING ASSOCIAT^ON.- 

 Roxbury, Mass., -Tune 18. At the annual meeting of the Massa- 

 chusetts State Shooting Association, held at Brockton lust even- 

 ing, the following named {rentlemen were elected officers for the 

 ensuing year: Pres., O. R. Dickey, of Boston: First Vice-Pres.. 

 W. H. Allen. Brockton: Second Vice Pres.. .1. N. Frye, Boston, 



birds, as he always does on the doubtful ones, it takes a good deal 

 more time, for he generally waits till the bird dies of old age be- 

 fore he picks it up. This wears out the patience ot the spectators 

 and referee, and g» ts away with the nerves of his opponent. This 

 is why Mr. Meade does it, and whv he uses the Hurhngham rules. 

 He doesn't need a gun very much when he shoots a match, though 

 to-day he showed that he could use a gun and use it mighty well. 

 Mr. Meade is the most dramatic retriever that ever was seen in 

 Chicago, but he ought to have towels sewed on his trouser legs. 

 Br'er G awge he just shot. 



At first it looked as though the Chicago man would win with 

 ease, for he led almost from the first, making some splendid stops 

 of fast birds, and closing the first string of 20 witlt a lead of 3 

 birds. In the next 20 he gained another bird, and at 42 he led 

 Meade 6 birds, so that Chicago people got pretty chipper and 

 some few went back to town and said that George had won all 

 right. At 50 the score was 44 to 40 in favor of Kleinman, yet 

 Meade never tor a moment lost his nerve, and at that point re- 

 marked that he would win the race by , lust one bird, which he 

 did, much to the surprise of every one. 



From the -50 hole on it was as pretty a race as ever was, and a 

 gamer fight than Meade made never was seen. He came here 

 alone and hunted up the match, shot it on strange grounds, under 

 more or less guying and before those whose money was against 

 him. Yet in spite of this, and in spite of a lead of 4 birds at the 

 halfway point, with a man like Gf^orge Kleinman for opponent, 

 he never whimpered, but stood up and shot with clean grit to the 

 end and won. This took "sand," and men are going to uimire 

 that, in spite of hard talking, big bluftine and general monkey 

 work in or .after a match. So Mr. Maade ,1s well received in 

 Chicago after this, and the boys treat with g'oo'd-natured indiffer-
