FOREST AND STREAM. 



The East Side— Mutual Gun Club. 



Aw AT back in 1868-'9, when the writer was obliged to walk over 

 a m'le from his home to attend school, the route led him through 

 an old chestnut grove located in a part of Newark that is now 

 built up with houses, stores aud factories and is considered one of 

 the most thriving portions of the town. Between his house and 

 the aforesaid grove was a blackberry and huckleberry swamp, 

 covering several acres and extending along what is still called 

 Old Elm Road. On the square now bounded by Ferry, Adam, 

 Jackson and Lafavetie streets was the old baseball grounds, 

 whereon the Eureka Basebnll Club used to hold forth. On this 

 club in those days was Major R. Heber Breintnall, considered 

 one of the most expert of the local players, but who in later years 

 has forsaken the diamond for the smooth-bore and rifle. About 

 half a mile below the before-mentioned chestnut grove on Ham- 

 burg place was old Wiedenmayer's Park, a place to which "us 

 boys" drlighted to meander in these days of long ago- The gate 

 of the park was not always open, but we were spry and the fences 

 were not. covered with barbed wire. This park was a great place 

 for p'cnics, and was supplied with rifle ranges,"merry-go-rounds," 

 "soups" and other Coney Island attractions. Of late years, how- 

 ever, picnics at this place have been few and far between, and 

 until a counle of years ago the park had almost been forgotten. 



Now, however, it, is again coming into prominence, not so much 

 perhaps on acconnt of the improvements in the picnic accessories 

 as from the fact that it is the holding-forth place of one of the 

 sfoneest trap-shooting clubs in New Jersey, namely the East 

 Side-Mutual Gun Club. The club house of this prosperous or- 

 ganization is situated on the southwestern edge of the grove 

 proper, being a neat frame structure, 40x20 and one story in 

 height. The grounds, which allow a full 80yds. boundary, are in- 

 closed with a 10ft. fence. The grounds, with the exception of a 

 few swampy spots, are admirably adapted to the shooting of 

 either live birds or artificials, the background being perfectly 

 clear. 



The club is a consolidation of the East Side Gun Club, which 

 formerly held its shoots at Fischer's Woods, a good quarter-mile 

 from these grounds, and the Mutual Gun Club, which held its 

 shoots where the consolidation is now located. Bota of the clubs 

 were fairly strong numerically, but as a large number of the 

 expert men were members of both clubs, and consequently held 

 divided interests, it w»s sensibly decided to combine their 

 strength, the result being that the East Side— Mutual Gun Club 

 has about sixty-five active shooting mpmbers, comprising some 

 of the most expert live bird and target shots in Newark. Gustav 

 L. Freche, Robert Baar, Chris. Reinhardt. Heury Reinhardt, 

 Robert Schraft, Frank Perment, Henry C. Koegel, William Has- 

 singer, William Ostrsnder aud Ferdinand Rilfers, all well-known 

 as f xpert crockery or live bird shots, are included in the member- 

 ship, as are Edward Hague, William Rraemer, Carl Von Len- 

 gerke, Charles IW. Hedden, Tnomas Richards, senior and junior, 

 R. Young, Ernest Fischer aDd many others whose names I can 

 not now recall. Once each month the members have a club shoot 

 at 35 artificial targets psr man, the club offering several valuable 

 prizes for the best averages during the season. On nearly every 

 Thursday and Saturday afternoon alsr> the members get together 

 for a number of sweepstake contests, sometimes using artificials, 

 but oftener live birds, which they much prefer. 



On Saturday, Jan. 23. the grounds were visited by quite a num- 

 ber of shooter?, and as usual some lively work was done, live birds 

 being used. Tne main attraction was a trial shoot for a wager of 

 $50, which amount had been risked by ruddy-faced Chris. Rein- 

 hardt of the coance of his killing 80 birds out of 100 shot at, Wm. 

 Krdetner to furnish the birds, which he backed for the above 

 amount against Reinhardt's gun. The day was a decidedly dis- 

 agreeable one. during the afternoon. Until noon the sun shone 

 brightly, the air was cool and crisp, and everything pointed to a 

 good shooting day. Soon after dinner the wind switched around, 

 the clouds grew heavy and threatening, the air damp and raw, 

 and along toward 3 o'clack came a light snow squall. Later in 

 the afternoon these squalls became irequent and the shooters be- 

 came uncomfortable. The trial shoot by Reinhardt was a dis- 

 appointment to that gentleman, as be succeeded in killing only 

 72 out of his 100 birds. The pig ons were a fine lot of flyers, and 

 a large number of them being of the vicious, twisting and zigzag- 

 ging style that anyone is likely to lose. Kraemer proved his 

 ability as a purveyor by the quality of the above birds. 



B? the time Chris had completed his trial th° rest of the crowd 

 was anxious to shoot, and an 8-bird sweep, $5 entry, with three 

 moneys, was arranged. The fee ires were as below:

Ar, this stage of the game the supply of birds was exhausted, so 

 the first three men split the pot, packed their kits and started for 

 supper. C. H. T. 



A Wet Day at Frankford. 



On Tuesday, Jan. 19, about a dozen live-bird experts braved the 

 pouring rain and journeyed to Frankford, Pa., to take part in the 

 shoot arranged jointly by W, H. and .las. Wolstencroft, Al. Rust 

 and Harry Thurman. Had the day been at all favorable at least 

 a score of shooters from New York and New Jersey would have 

 been on the scene prepared to measure skill with the Pennsyl- 

 vanians, hut the prospect of having to face a driving rain kept 

 them from risking 'he trip, the only ones on hand from this sec- 

 tion being M. F. Lindsley and Eddy Collins, who took a supply of 

 "family powder" from Hoboken and held up their end in great

At this stage those who had killed 6 straight each decided to

 result being as below:

An overplus of dampness and a failing light prompted the 

 straight men to div., which they did with good grace, after which 

 guns were packed and the party dispersed in various directions, 

 but not until they had expressed a wish for another shoot on the 

 same grounds on some date in the near future. 



Auburn Defeats Syracuse. 



Editor Forest and Stream: ^ 



The second match with the Onondaga County Sportsmen's 

 Club has been shot. The date originally intended was Jan. 14, but 

 the race was postponed to Jan. 19 on account of the death of one 

 of our members, Geo. M. Reed. On the last named date £5 of our 

 men boarded the morning train for the Salt City and were met at 

 the station by a delegation of the Syracuse men, who piloted us to 

 a waiting train on the D. L. & W., which soon landed us at the 

 club grounds. The snow was about a foot deep, and still falling, 

 and the mercury made a score of 18 to 20 dee. throughout the day. 

 The warm and elegant clubhouse of the Syracusians was duly 

 appreciated by our men. W. S. Barnum served a delicious lunch, 

 consisting of 'coffee, pie, doughnuts and sandwiches. After the 

 race we were invited to take dinner at Mr. Barnum's house— the 

 Maple Bay House— and a most excellent dinner it was. The 

 shooter who takes dinner with Mr. Barnum while attending the 

 State shoot next summer will have nothing to be sorry for, if our 

 treatment there be a sample of his hospitality. 



But to shooting. A lew sweeps were shot off before the event of 

 tiie day was called, and honors were about equal between the 



members of both clubs, the first sweep had 40 old entries. The 

 race was called ar. 1:30. B. J. Hoyt, of Weedaport, was chosen 

 referee; and Messrs. Dakin, of Syracuse, and Goodrich, of Auburn, 

 acted as scorers. The race was 20 singles, unknown angles. The 

 score was as follows:

Down Mamaroneck Way. 



Evert week or so, or as often as the whim seizes them, a num- 

 ber of well-known business men of New York city shoulder their 

 smoothbores, and with ammunition case in hand, flit away for a 

 day's sport at the traps at Mamaroneck. Westchester county. Their 

 shooting is done at live birds, solely for sport, each man paying 

 for his own birds, and the entry fee being nominal. On Wednes- 

 day. Jan. 13, a little knot of these sportsmen gathered ahout the 

 comfortable fire in Arickson's Hotel, and after discussing the 

 weather for a while, concluded that they wanted a little recreation 

 and a number of sweepstake3 was the result. The shooting was 

 done modified Hurlingham rules, and the results are given below.

A question now arose as to the individual superiority as marks- 

 men of Messrs. Lawrence and S. Arickson, in order to decide 

 which the following match was shot: 



Lawrence 1110100111-7 S Arickson 1111110111-9 



By this time darkness had settled upon the scene and further 

 operations had to be postponed. Neither man was satisfied to 

 yield the palm, however, aud in a subsequent issue Forest and 

 Stream will give the result of a match at 25 live birds each, "for 

 blood." 



In the Rain at Frenchtown. 



Quite a party of enthusiastic live bird shooters braved the ele- 

 men is on Jan. 19 and went to Frenchtown. N. J-, to indulge in 

 their favorite pastime, cn invitation of William Apgar. of Apgar's 

 Hotel. The rain came down in torrents nearly all day, but tnis 

 did not deter the boys from cracking away until the supply of 

 birds was exhausted. The shooting was done from one ground

At this point the birds were gone and the pot was div. 



Saturday at John Erb's. 



A cold, raw wind, bringing along frequent gaualls of snow, 

 caused a. sort of a chilly sensation to creep up and down the spinal 

 columns of those intrepid sportsmen who wend'd their way to 

 the Old Stone House grounds in Newark on Jan. 23. Among those 

 who braved the elements were Frank Lawrence, one of New York 

 well-known billiard caterers and a man by no means behind the 

 times in the use of the smooth-bore; Vane Cockefair, the well- 

 known exnert from Bloomfield, and Mr. Vermoral, one of the 

 crocks from Paterson, the city of silk mills and sportsmen. 



First in order came a little team race at 15 live birds per man, 

 for the. price of the birds, Sam Castle, Sr. and John Erb pitting 

 themselves against Sam Castle, Jr. and Vane Cockefair. The 

 scores were as appended:

As there seemed no prospect of either team securing a victory, 

 and other shooters wished to take a band in the sport, the game 

 was called at the above stage. Chas. M. Hedden was referee and 

 official scorer, and be received a vote of thanks for the faithful 

 performance of hiB arduous duties. 



Next in order came the usual run of "Jersey" sweeps, the condi- 

 tions in each being 4 live birds per man, $3 entry, two moneys,

This was a hard-fought contest between Castle, Sr. and Law- 

 rence, and although the former is a veteran at the trade, he 

 found almost his match in the New Yorker. In fact, had the lat.-. 

 ter not made the mistake of using his second barrel on his fif- 

 teenth tie bird, a hard driver, after his first barrpl had missed 

 fire, the contest might have been carried on by candle light. As 

 it was, Castle scooped the two pots. 



The final event, same conditions, resulted as below:

A Pleasant Letter. 



Conshohocken, Pa., Jan. 18.— Editor Forest and Stream: I have 

 been a, constant reader of the Forest and Stream t or about one 

 year, and I find it to be the leading sporting paper of the Lnited 

 States. 



Allow me to congratula'e you on the able-bodied way you pub- 

 lish your paper, especially the scores. Anyone can understand 

 them. I wish you much success, and may all the clubs of the 

 United States send you their scores, so you will still have to en- 

 large your paper. 



As soon as the Conshohocken Gun Club opens their season for 

 trap-shooting you can count on us as sending you our scores. 

 May all other clubs do the same. We ate strangers but will be 

 friends. Yours fraternally, Geo. H. Kriebetj,
