THE NICHOLS-GRAY MATCH. 



f'ouNTRT CiiUB, Long IslaiKl, J\i]y \\. ^Editor Forest nnd Stream: 

 Followine: upon a week of preparation ;u)d anticipation, the like of 

 whicb was never before seen iu thi-= sturdr old club, the great match 

 at olay pifreons, between 3Ir. Allan Nichols, president of the Country 

 Club and Col. Gray, late of London, Ensrland. was shot off hereto day. 



••Thf lo.ser to pay $S.n00 to a charity agreed unon," these words 

 formed a part of the only ternis upon which Mr Nichols woul ■! aKain 

 taee tlie fr.'aps; the condition of his eyes rendering it inadvisable for 

 him to use a erun much. 



These conditions were finally accepted by Col. Qi'ay and Mr. Nichols 

 ^ras fortrallT challeneed to shoot for the club cup, the loser to give 

 $5,000 to a c'haritv to be agreed upon by Messrs. Braith, Rhinelander 

 and Flagler. A more enthusiastic partj; than that w^iich filled the 

 club liouses to overflowing could not be imagined. As the hour for 

 ihe mareh. three oclock, dre>Y near, dozens of vehicles, including the 

 four-in-hands of Messrs. Roosevelt, Morgau and Prentiss, were 

 picturepqulv scattered under the clumps of giant ti-ees on the lawns, 

 while over in the ''grand stand." by the athletic grounds, a gay throng 

 of ladies and gentleKeu awniting the settlement of a long standing 

 account between two representative amateur crack sbot=! of England 

 and America. Col. Grav and Mr. Nichols appeared in good time, the 

 one bronzed bv constant -(^ ork in the field of sport, the other bronzed by 

 continuous yachting on the "high seas." The match was of the most 

 excitinp- character, neither contestant failing to break hia bird until the 

 flfrieth had been flown. Col Gray missed his lafty first bird. The 

 bettiiiij up to this point was in favor of Col. Gray, Mr. Nichols ad- 

 mitn'ne to bis friends that he had not had ijractice recently. 



Such men asLeroy Pafkhurst, .Jr., Ogden Ferris, EHis Livingston 

 (just returned from a cruise around "the best part of the world") 

 "Ned" Thornton and Lord Geoi'ge CoUis (owner of the beautiful Irish 

 schooner yacht Arael.) however, backed the younger of the noted 

 wing shots, ther bad bad experiences in which the "nerve" of the 

 shght built! cool looking man had been an important factor, and this 

 party of faithful followers reaped a harvest. 



At least two wagers were made of $3,000 to $2,000, these were 

 accepted by Doctor jSicbols and Ellis Livingston, while scores of 

 memorandums -were entered in the lumdred columns. 



The judges were tor Col. Gray. Mr. H. St. George (London Gun 

 Chibi and for Mr. Nichols, Mr. Gordon Gordon (New York Gun Club.) 

 The referee was Lloyd Phoenix, who proved most acceptable. The 

 score: 



A Nichols, 28yds.. llltllllllllllllinillllllllUUminillllllimi

oiiiiiiiiioi 11 uiiinn 1 looin nou m niuiiimi— 95 



Time of shooting two hours and tweuty minutes. After the usual 

 '■pleasant words'" bad been spoken, Mr." Nichols hurriedly returned 

 to the city to participate in the annual regatta of the American Yacht 

 Club. 



No more interesting exhibition was over witnessed on this time- 

 worn battle field than the match of to-day, and Mr. Nichols scored a 

 triumph that was the greater because of the proud position taken b}^ 

 him iu the beginning and held until the end. 



There are those among tbe friends of Mr. Allan Nichols who will 

 not soon forgot the example in chivalry, and none the less in modesty, 

 which this quiet young man has set them, and it is a common rumor 

 chat the club directors propose to recognize in some fitting manner 

 the heroi'-m displayed by Mr. Nichols in his long and desperate 

 strug-gle in saving the life of Wendell Braith from the waters of the 

 Sound on .lune 8. 



It is with pleasure that we record another victory for Mr. Nichols. 

 Avhile we deplore the fact that so thorough a sportsman as Col. Gray 

 met defeat. G.
