loads back over the heads of those on t.he "bleaching boarde," 

 only to fall dead out of bounds. His ninth bird was a "clinker" 

 of a driver from Mo. Sirup, that (lew like the wind, but, was [ 

 stopped by a beautiful second at fiOynf. Brewer's twelfth, alight- 

 ning left-quarti i njur driver from No. 3 trap \va« a splendid fir;-; 

 barrel kill. Fulford'a thirteenth bird was a dun-colored cireb r 

 fioiti No. 3 tiap that failed lo slop on the first Are, but was 

 brought dnwn ivy n lino exhibition of judgment with a long 

 second. Brevvei's fifue.uth was also a eircler, from No. R trap, 

 and 1 be style in which it was grassed with the second brought 

 out a round of applause. Mis eighteenth was another ugly y.lg- 

 £aggeX that started irom No. I trap, a* though in doubt as to its 

 course— these lards of ipdeBjjsVoi! bv t he way beine a tenor to a 

 shooter— and finally climbed away out. of both barrels. His 

 twenty-third, a "rasping" driver Irom No. 8. was killed in elegant 

 style, getting both barrels full; his twenty. fourth took the same 

 course and was brought down with a tegular grandstand second. 

 Fulford's I wenty-ihirri was a fast i ight-qunrterer which looked as 

 though it wanted'ita freedom, hut oropped when his deadly first 

 sent an ounce and a quarter of No, ? shot after it; his twenty- 

 fourth was a very fasi, and Vicious-looking left -quartering driver 

 Irom No. 3, which was grassed at fully 70>d e . by a well-tinn d 

 second. At the end of the litt-t round the score stood: Fill foul 24, 

 Brewer 22, and Harrison' g was happy, for its favorite looktd like 

 a sure winner. 



THE SECOND ROUND 



opened by Jack grasping an ordiuary bird that hovered over No. 3 

 trap, Fulford following with a kill of a noi-over-f ist right- 

 quarteier, alsofn m No. 3 On his twenty-ninth bird .lack caugh : 

 hnother zig-znggcj, that started from No. 1 trap and tried, to set- 

 how many turns he could make in a yard. Just, how many he 

 made no one is willing to testify, but it is certain tbat he rntj.dp 

 just enough to get out <>1 both barrels! although the second ruined 

 :os feathers. Brewer's thirty- third was a terror, start). 'g from 

 No. 4 trat) with a lightning flight, it d-tcribed a number of gyra- 

 tions that would puzzle the eye to follow, bul Jack, after wast ing 

 his first, load, waited tor it to straighten and grossed it wiHi a long 

 s<eond; tuis was one of the finest shots of the day. Kulforo's 

 thirty-fourth bird was a hot one from No. 1 trap, that was killed 

 with 'a fine first less thin tiyds. f rom the trap. His thirty-eight h 

 was a very fast left -quartering driver from No. '4, that called £o?: 

 another fine shot; his thirty-ninth was a vicious looking twister 

 that squirmed out his first but went down on bis second at long 

 range; his fort ieth was a circler and killed neatly with a good first. 

 Brewer's forty-third went with a circling flight from No. 1 trap, 

 and seemed bound to escape, but, had to stop when Jack put in hi> 

 second, all hough it was quick aud pretty work. Fulford's fiftieth 

 bird was a warm left quartering driver from No. 3 trap, that 

 called for another pretty first. The score at this stage stood. Ful- 

 ford 49, Brewer 4li. 



THE THIRD ROUND 



Opened with a fine kiil by Brewer of a fast right-quartering 

 driver, Fulford following by grassing a right driver witb a long 

 second. Jack caught a tartar on his fitty-seventh, a very fast 

 right-quartering driver that was killed with a very fine second. 

 Fulfotd's fifty-eighth was a star bird, starting like a streak 

 straightaway from No. 3 trap, but with oue of the finest firsts on 

 record be brought it to grass. Brewer's fifty-ninth was another 

 star flyer, going to the right-front from No. 4 trap with a terrific 

 burst of speed. Jack got in one of bis old-time doubles aud 

 "called down the acute" as the bird dropped. Fulford's si xtj -first, 

 was a fast rigbt-ouarttrer, and was killed by a very fine firs : bis 

 sixty -ft urth w a a a vet y fast right-incomer killed with a neat first. 

 BrewerV sixty-ninth was a lightning left-driver fr. m No. 1, and 

 t he manner in which it was grassed with tne first showed that the 

 Ilamrnonton man had lost none of his old skill. Fulford got an- 

 other extra fast flyer, a twister, on his seventieth round, which 

 was dropped near the boundary line with bis second. Jack's 

 seventy-first called for a clever double-barrel shot: Iris sevctitj- 

 ilnrd, a terribly fast and lovv-ll/iug driver, was one of the best- 

 birds of the day, aud was killed with a beautiful first. On the 

 end of the third round Fulford had killed 74 to Brewei's 71, and 

 ever\ body conceded the race to Fulford. 



During this round atl exnioi lion, Oata'de of the regular prc- 

 cranime", was given, that showed the marvelous eK.nl of these two 

 grand shots as well a= did their work at tho trap. Several flocus 



1 t piteous, coojprifeiug from half a dozen to twenty each, had 

 K-en circling about the grounds for several hours, although ktcp- 

 ing well out of range. After Fulford had fired at bis sixdet fi 

 bird one of these flocks came within range, and quick as a fl vsh 

 both the men poured in double shots, each of them dropping one 

 bird, Brewer's falling near the score and Fulford's going ovrr on 

 ttic grand stand. A few moments later the performance was re- 

 peated, and three pigeons tell. Still later camca beautiful exhib- 

 ition, each of the men firing both barrels and each man dropping 



2 birds. Before the applause had dud away Brewer killed another 

 pair and Fulford a, single. These shots were all splendid ones, t tie 

 birds being high in the air and circling, it was fully ten minmes 

 before the crowd grew weary of applauding.

Brewer- started in by rnaki 



III ROUND 



'eautiful Id rat-barrel kill of a 



fast left-quartering driver, Fulford following with, an equally 

 fine first on a circling lef n-quarterer; his eighty-first was another 

 pretty first on a left-quarteriug driver; Brewer's eighty-second, a 

 tricky incomer from No. 2 trap, was killed and plucked by a near 

 double. Fulford's eighty-fourth was a terror from No, 1 trap, 

 starting first as a right-driver, then twisting out of the first, it 

 began to circle, twist and squirm at a great rate. The telephone 

 man put in a hot, second, and the bird turned over, but rf c ivering 

 itself it made a dying effort, crossed the boundary and tell like a 

 stone outside, this being his first lost bird after a straight run of 

 SI kills. At this point another pretty piece of by-play was en- 

 acted on another flock of tramp pigeons, each of the men again 

 making double kills, then following it up with a single kill each, 

 and Fulford following up the good work by dropping another 

 pair, while Jack grassed a single. This gave the crowd another 

 chance to yell itself hoarse. liis next bird was another scorcher, 

 going with a puzzling zig-zag flight from No. 2 trap, gathering 

 speed and ugly motion with every yard; it managed to get over 

 tie Susquehanna with loss of feathers only. Jack's eighty-fourth 

 was a "clinker" of a left-driver from No. 3 that lost no time in 

 trying to get a way from danger, but concluded to stop when it 

 caught his deadly second at full 70yds. This was a magnificent 

 shoi, and was not unnoticed by the audience. His eighty-sixth, an 

 awfully fast climbing driver, got away from botn barrels and 

 sailed "over the trills and far away." His eighty-seventh was 

 lost solely through trying to make a grand stand shot. The bird 

 was a blue-checker, that started as a right-driver, then began to 

 circle, and finally assumed a zig-zag flight. Jack hit it very hard 

 with his first, but it failed to stop, and tried f or the back bound- 

 ary. He waited until it was within 5yds. and gave it the full 

 benefit of his second, which s- nt it down like a stone — just over 

 the fence. Fulford's ninety-fourth bird, a mean circlet- from No. 

 1 trap, was terribly fast. It caught the first barrel full, but failed 

 lo stop; when his second load caught it, however, fully 73yds. 

 away, it folded up like a jack-knife and gave up the ghost. His 

 ninety-seventh bird was a fast l6ft-quarterer that carried two 

 loads over the river. Both men killed straight from this out and 

 the shoot ended with a score of 



96 kills for Fulford: 94 kills for Brewer, 

 the Harrisburg man having succeeded for the fourth time in 

 defeating the champion of the world, and that by a score that 

 would win 99 per cent, of the matches shot anywhere or against 

 anyone, and yet there are men who affirm that Brewer can beat 

 any mau in the world, aud that he is 3 per cent, better than Ful- 

 ford. la this match Brewer was in form, and somo of his kills 

 were as fine as any he has ever made. Fulford in the earlier part 

 of the match was a Trifle off and made several slobbering kills 

 both with his first and second barrels: after 20 rounds, however, 

 he settled down and his work was of the best. As to the birds, 

 they were what 1 would call a good lot of match p'geons, not by 

 any means to be compared with the lot used at Woodlawn— -as that 

 kind are seen but once in a lifetime— but as good a lot as is run 

 across in a long travel. The birds were mixed and were hard for 

 this very reason. Some few that refused flight when the trap was 

 sprung proved to be veritable "clinkers" once they caught their 

 wines, but the major part were off in good shape almost before the 

 trap settled. Brewer had 0 and Fulford 3 "no birds" (shot on the 

 ground), but these were killed, not becau=e they were easy but 

 rather because they might prove tobeuglyif given an opportunity 

 to fly. The two principals agreed in calling the birds "agood lot." 

 The luck of the birds throughout the entire race was in favor of 

 Brewer, Fulford certainly getting tho hardest ones, although 

 Jack's were nard enough to keep him guessing. 



The treatment the two men received from tho big crowd was 

 first class, although early in the race the party seemed to think 

 that Fulford was the only man entitled to applause. It was not 

 loDg, however, before thoy began to realiaa that Brewer was do- 

 ing work that was worthy of notice, and thereafter a good shot 

 r>y either man received its full share of applause. 



It was at this time that the five-bird sweep, mentioned before, 

 was again started, and by the time if. was finished everybody was 

 ready to go home and discuss New Year turkey and plum duff. 

 The majority of the shooters went to their hotels and after sup. 



per discussed a play at the local theatre or gathered in knots at 

 the various hotels and fought, over their battles. At 7:20 Brewer 

 and the Philadelphia an I Germantown < on tingent started for 

 home, Jack taking along with hi in the good wishes of the Harris- 

 burgers. At 1:10 the writer was obliged to board a sleeper for 

 home, urgeut business preventing him from remaining to witness 

 the artificial target contests to be shot on Saturday on the club 

 grounds at Fairview. 



THE SECOND PAY'S SHOOT. 



Saturday was decidedly a moist day, the rain coming down in 

 torrents all the morning and at intervals during tho afternoon. 

 The second dav's programme called for several regular events at 

 artificial targets on the club grounds at Fairview, about one and 

 a half miles below Harrisburg. The bad weather curtailed the 

 attendance. It was after 11 o'clock wh^n the first shot was tired, 

 bur after that the> shoot ing was kept up until dark. All the events 

 « ere shot under the Into- -State Association rules, expert handi- 

 cap. The electric pu'.ls were used aud gave general satisfaction.
