FEB. It 18913.] 



FOREST AMD STREAM, 



evening with a very even score, not a shot going off the disks iu 

 the whole 30, which was the best yet. 



The ball was opened on Thursday evening promptly at 7 P. M. 

 by Mr. M. Tator, another young shooter, only It years of age. He 

 was followed by Mr. H. S. Burley, who only left the disk once, 

 and put up a score which will crowd or pass that of Mr. Fuer- 

 mann. Mr. Barley has only been shooting a revolver three 

 months they tell me, and he does wonderfully well. Mr. Hankie 

 followed Mr. Btvrley with a, very neat showing also, some of it 

 close, and then Mr. Cutler shot. Mrs. Thornton shot her score, and 

 Dr. Parker then fired the closing shots of the contest shortly after 

 10 o'clock. 



The shooters at Chicago used either the Smith &■ Wesson .44 or 

 The same make in .32cal. or the .44 frame. This last arm weighs 

 81bs. VZo&i Nearly all here chose the IVoin. hullseye. 



Everything here seemed very pleasant, and the shooters and 

 their friends in attendance were enjoyable company. It pleased 

 the two representatives of the paper here to hear the system of 

 Forest and Stream highly complimented. As the dn 

 ronni s were tied up and placed away in the envelopes, a shot to a 

 disk, Mr, Hankie, who stood by, remarked, "This is the fairest 

 arid Etjuarest game I ever saw, and ihemanwho got up this sys- 

 tem or running the contest could not think of any more accurate 

 or fair way if ne tried forever. " In this there was general acqui- 

 escence. 



After the close of the contest those present engaged in rifle 

 shooting for a time, and later fell into a committee of the whole 

 lo discuss the question of organizing a revolver club for Chicago. 

 It was at once decided to do this, and the vote would have been 

 put at once except that it was thought best to notify others not 

 on hand, and to hold a meeting of organization later. Revolver 

 shooting here has taken a sudden boom. Forest and Stream 

 did it. fn le^s than two weeks we will have a good, active revol- 

 ver club here of between twenty and thirty members. This is 

 part of the work which the pen c rosity of Mr. Winans and the 

 Thoroughness of Forest and Stream have done for the revolver 

 interests of the country. 



The final measuring up is awaited with interest. E. Hough. 



A New League for Jersey Shooters, 



NOW THE SPORT WILL BOOM. 



A tATTLE less than a year ago Car) von Lengerke, of the Wood- 

 Hide Gun t:lnh; W. R. Hobart, of the South Side Gun Club, and the 

 writer, all from the classic precincts of Newark, N. J., succeeded, 

 after a deal of hammering and ding-done;ing at 'trap shooters, in 

 organizing what was known as the Tran-Suooters' League of 

 Essex County, N. J., which comprised the South Side, East Side- 

 Mutual, Woodside. Rosevilie and A,mateur Gun Clubs, of Newark, 

 and the Maplewood Gun Club. This league held a very successful 

 series of team shoots, first place bping won by the Mapif wood Gun 

 Club. After this series was ended, it was proposed to enlarge the 

 field and throw the memhersbipopen to any club in northern New 

 Jersey. It was found, however, tnat this was not a popular idea, 

 and iu order to suit everybody the projectors finally decided to 

 make the league one for all the clubs in the State. W. R. Hobart 

 took the matter in hand and issued a rail for a meeting to be held 

 at the store of Von Lengerke & Detinold, 8 Murray street, on 

 Thursday, Feb. 4, and all clubs in the State were invited to send 

 delegates. In response to the invitation nine clubs were repre- 

 sented, as f ollows; South Side Gun Club. Newark, W. R. Hobail; 

 Amateur Gun Club, Newark, B. A. Rist: Roseville Gun Club, 

 Newark; B. A. Rist; East Orange Gun Clue, H. S. Babbaae; New 

 Jersey Shooting Club, Claremont, Elmer Bigoney; Woodside Gun 

 Club, Newark, Gail von Lmgerke; Boiling Sunns* Gun Club, 

 Rutherford, W. H. Hauck; Rah way Gun Club, .T.R.Lawrence: 

 Passaic City Rod and Gun Cluh, J. H. Hall. 



The meet ng was called to order by W. R. Hobart, after which 

 Elmer Bigoney of the New Jersey Shooting Association was 

 elected temporary chairman and Jacob Pentz temporary secre- 

 tary. The plan of work intended by the projectors of the associ- 

 ation was stated by Mr. Hobart as follows: Team contests, open 

 to teams of five men each from each club in the league, to he run 

 each month on the grounds of each of the clubs in order until 

 each has had its turn, each team to shoot at 125 artificial targets, 

 under the five-trap rapid-firing system. Clubs that enter as char- 

 ier members to pay an entrance fee of . §1, all other clubs to pay 

 $3 each. The annual dues to be ten cents for each member on the 

 roll of each club. Messrs. Hobart, Shaw and Von L-ngerke were 

 appointed a committee to draft a constitution and by-laws and 

 the meeting adjourned until Monday, Feb. 8, at 1:30 P". M., when 

 the committee was instructed to report. 



On the latter date delegates representing eight clubs convened 

 at the above place and perfected the organization of what will 

 hereafter and for all time be known as the New Jersey Trap 

 Shooters' League, the object of which will be to fo3ter and en- 

 courage the sport of trap -snooting in the above named Common- 

 wealth by the arranging of team and individual contests among 

 those affiliated. The clubs that were represented were the Inde- 



Club, of Claremont; South side Gun Club and East Side-Mutual 

 Gun Club, of Newark; Maplewood Gun Club, of Maplewood. 



The ehction of officers resulted in the choice of Elmer Bigonev, 

 N. J. S. C, Plesident; W. R. Hobart, S. S. G. C, Secretary and 

 Treasurei; Neaf Apgar, I. G. C, Manager; A. W. Sbaw and W. H. 

 Huck, Executive Committee. The constitution and by-laws were 

 adopted as submitted by the committee. The drawing for Choice 

 of clubs to conduct the first tournament resulted in favor of the 

 Woodside Gun Club, of Newark, ard the first tournament will be 

 held on their grounds on a date to be decided uoon by that club. 

 Their grounds are situated an the hanks of the Passaic River, at 

 the foot of Riverside avenue, about, fifteen minutes' ride bv horse- 

 cars from theMaiket 3treet depot, and are admirably adapted to 

 accommodate a big crowd of shooters.

Rolla O. Heikes, of Chicago, hut formerly of Dayton, O., has 

 issued a challenge to shoot fire representatives of his State against 

 an tqual number representing the State of Ohio, the match to 

 take place at Dayton and to be at 100 single artificial bird each, 

 for $50 a corner, or, in other words, §250 a side. The Ohio gentle- 

 men" having the matter in charge will in all probability accent 

 the challenge, but only on condition that the birds are sprung 

 trom 5 traps, unknown angles. The Ohio team will likely be 

 picked from the following: Osborne, of Toledo: Taylor, of Cin- 

 cinnati; Dr. Walters, of Columbus; North, of Cleveland: Mc- 

 Donald, of Dayton: and "Shorty" Bacon, of Miamiville.

The Muzzleloader at the Trap. 



In his review of the Dean Richmond Cup history, in our issue 

 of Jan. 81, our correspondent wrote; "Mr. Newell does not tell us 

 what part thelmuzzieloading gun actually bad in these con- 

 tests. If he, and others who shot or knew shooters iu those days, 

 will offer further reminiscences of the old cup, the old style and 

 the old days, the readers of the Forest and Stream will be 

 placed under a debt not easy to discharge." 



This brings out the following in the Rochester Po.sr-E.Kj»'e.ss: 



"It ought not to he difficult for some one who has time to give 

 the reminiscences suggested by Mr. Hough. There are several 

 men in this vicinity who took part in the above contest and in 

 many of those that have since taken place for the second cup. 

 The old times were not much different from the present at a. 

 shooting match except in respect of the guns. The art of boring 

 guns to shoot close were not so generally known to gunmakers in 

 1873 as it is now and cylinder bored guns were in general use. 

 Some men who knew the value of a closely grouped charge of 

 shot, obtained good results by battering in the muzzles of their 

 guns with a light hammer, which made a rim on the inside of the 

 gun barrel and had the effect of giving a closer pattern than with 

 the cylinder bored gun. Most sportsmen at that time were in- 

 clined to think that there was something about good shotguns 

 that no fellow could find out, and that it was a matter of accident 

 when a gun shot hard and close. A friend of the present writer 

 was experimenting with an 8-bore, muzzleloading duck gun be- 

 fore '73, and after one boring found his gun to give a marvelous 

 pattern with No. 1 shot. It was a pattern that could scarcely be 

 excelled by the best gun of to-day. But the experimenter was 

 not content to leave good enough alone, and thought that by 

 making certain alterations the gun would be still further im- 

 proved. The change was made and the big gun was never worth 

 much after that. Probably the barrel had been ehokebored by 

 the first process and the choke taken out by the second. But for 

 all that there has been sport with it. 



The breechloadiug gun was in use at the State shoot of 1873, and 

 some of the best shooting was done by men using the new inven- 

 tion. No one who was there is likely to forget the betting that 

 went on around the grounds. Nearly every spectator and shooter 

 laid a wager on the result of every shot, so that a ' dead ' or ' lost ' 

 bird transferred the ownership of hundreds of dollars. It was 

 soon after the Batavia meeting that open betting was prohibited 

 at the tSate shoot. There was one thing abcn.it the old style of 

 shooting that those who practiced it are loth to give up for the 

 modern style. That was in the way T of holding the gun at the 

 score. The butt of the gun had to be held below the elbow in 

 about the position one holds a gun whenio the field. It made 

 trap shooting resembte field shooting more than the present sys- 

 tem does. There is one name among the list of shooters that 

 might be overlooked that is worthy of special notice. Tt is that 

 of one of the men who took pi,rt m the shoot at Watertown. If 

 we mistake not one of the Jefferson county representatives now 

 occupies the executive mansion at Albany." 



The Auburn Gun Club. 



Auburn, N. Y., Jan. 30 — The shooting year with our club ended 

 Dec. 31 and the class trophies for 1891 were awarded to their re- 

 spective winners in the four classes as follows: A class, J. J. 

 Carr; B class, Geo. Corning, Jr.; C .class, C. W. Brister: D class, 

 T. H. Garrett. 



For the new year the club members are divided into three 

 classes and a handsome diamoud watch charm, elegantly en- 

 graved, one for each class, is sparkling before the eyes of the 

 sboot ers as a prize for 1893. 



In order to prevent any one member from winning the badge 

 several timesin succession a handicap has been arranged whereby 

 the winner in any class shall step back two yards at the next 

 contest; if he then win he shall move back one additional yard 

 and so on until some other member shall win, when he shall stand 

 at the original score. 



In addition to the inanimate contests our men have arranged 

 for a live bird challenge badge which will be of considerable 

 value and whose ownership will be known at the end of two 

 years, being the property of the person who wins it the greatest 

 number of times. The winner of this badge is entitled to hold it 

 two weeks but must defend it against all corners at the following 

 club shoot. It is believed this will stimulate live bird shooting 

 and develop some good scores. 



Below please find scores of the last two inanimate contests, also 

 of the first live bird contest:

Dustin is a Great Shot. 



Harrisbttrg, Pa., Feb. 4.— Ever since the Brewer-Fulford 

 match at Harrisburg the members of the HaTrisburg Shooting 

 :,\}or\ have been doing a great deal of live bird shooting, 



but as a good deal of the shooting has been done among friends, 

 scores have boen kept so close that it has been almost impossible 

 to get them, and one is almost left to believe that this association 

 is about to soring another champion upon the shooting fraternity. 

 But the writer secured the outcome of a friendly match shot by 

 two members of the association, namely H. A. Bach and J. S. 

 Dustin, at 35 birds to the man, 835 a corner, and for the day and • 

 kind of birds the shooting of both was remarkable. A strong 

 northwest wind blew across the traps aud the birds went out like 

 rockets, If any advantage on birds Dustin got it, as some of 

 Bach's birds which went out of bounds were simply "clinkers." 

 and the kind most shooters generally miss. Another match is on 

 for Saturday, 25 birds, $35 a side, loser pays all expenses, of which 

 I will obtain a report and forward you if possible. Score of above 

 match:

A Towanda February Shoot, 



Tow and A, Pa., Feb. 7. — A notice in the Reporter-Journal that 

 the monthly shoot of the Towanda Rod and Gun Ciub would take 

 place on Frid ay, Feb. 5, f or club badge, honors, etc., brought oute 

 a few of the faithfuls, who, with some visiting sportsmen, niadi- 

 quite an interesting shoot, and heartily enjoyed by all the partition 

 pants. We all missed the smiling countenance of our champiart 

 shot, Mr. F. D. Montanye. who is in Philadelphia studying the our 

 of engraving on metals, and when he returns we expect all ys 

 guns, badges to be finely engraved free of charge. He alwa b 

 faces the traps when at home. Was rather cold outside the clu - 

 house, but frequent visits to the stove made one soon feel come 

 fortahlfi again, and the smashing of crockery would continue. On, 

 person being obliged to a^t as trap-puller, referee and keep score, 

 things were slightly mixed when the team shoot was decided. 

 Our visitors. Park and Von Woltfrandt, of Athens, Pa., however 

 took the matter good naturedly, and invited the Towanda team 

 to come and see them later. Scores as follows. All events rapid- 

 firing system.
