Reading Shooting Association! Mr. Wol&teueroft, on behalf of W. 

 H. WolBtencroft &■ Souk, of Philadelphia; and Mr. Lindsley, on 

 behalf of ihe American Wood Powder Company; promised to con- 

 tribute prices for the coming contests. This concluded the busi- 

 ness of the meeting, and after a sociable hour's chat the members 

 of the party dispersed for their respective hotels. 



Hmmlay, Live Bird .nay. 



When the shooters crawled out of their luxurious couches (the 

 only kind of couch, by the way, upon which a shooter ever re- 

 clines) they felt rather blue, as a snowstorm had found its way to 

 Reading, and bad spread a white mantle upon everything out of 

 doors. This did look as though the live bird events scheduled for 

 the day were not to he very successful either in regard to the 

 character of the birds or the number of entries. Nevertheless the 

 thought of quitting or rather of hanging back never entered the 

 heads of one of the lovers of the sport, and ten o'clock found them 

 at the shooting house eager for the fray. The traps were in order, 

 trappers at hand, and about GOO good birds in the crates, with a 

 promise of 600 more to arrive soon after noon, so the party got 

 down to solid business despite the snow which was falling steadily 

 all the while. The shooting was under American Shooting Asso- 

 ciation rules, except that 12-hore guns were allowed lj^az. of shot. 

 The houndary was 50yds. Tbe purses were divided info 40,30, 

 20. and 10 per cent., and all ties were divided. The birds, as a 

 whole, were a good lot. the number of sood birds exceeding the 

 poor ones. Owing to the large number of entries the shooting was 

 done on the squad svstem.the shooter moving along the line from 

 number 1 trap the same as in the Keystone rapid firing system 

 for target shooting. As a matter of course eaou man shot from 

 a Known trap. 



A number of new comers wcrp noticed, among them being J. 

 Frank Klein-., the ype1l-khown Philadelphia e^peri; Albert Rust.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



In the evening the officers of the Pennsylvania State Sports- 

 men's Association held a special meeting at the hostelry of H. C. 

 W. Matz, to discuss plans for the tournament to bo held on the 

 grounds of the Pleading Shooting Association, on Aug. 9-12 in- 

 clusive, C. E. H. Brelsford, president of the association, was 

 absent, owing to an attack of the Russian importation yclent "la 

 grippe," and. his chair was ably filled by Vice-President N. A. 

 Hughes. Other officers present were Financial Secretary J. H. 

 Worden. Corresponding Secretary W. D. Eiler, Treasurer "Dr." 

 lames Wolstencroft; and Harry Thurman, H. C. W. Matz and J. 

 H. Millspaugh comprising the Board of Managers. There were 

 also present, nn invitation, H.A.Penrose, M. F. Lindsley. John 

 W Fulford, William Garvin and representatives of the Forest 

 and Stream, American Field and Sporting Times. A new set of 

 constitution and by-laws were adopted. On amotion made by 

 Jas. Wolstencroft, and secondod by W. D. Eiler, the secretary was 

 instructed to have blank applications printed for tbe use of mem- 

 bers. The secretary was also instructed to have the constitution 

 and by-laws printed, and copies sent to each club. Mr. Matz 

 moved that the association make application for a charter under 

 the laws of Pennsylvania. The motion was in accord with the 

 views of the members and was promptly carried. On motion by 

 Mr. Matz it was resolved to ask the Legislature for an appopria- 

 tion for the protection of game, and to give officers of the associa- 

 tion the authority nf game wardens. C. H. L. Brelsford, N. A. 

 Hughes and J. H. Worden were appointed a committee to look 

 after the above matter. The matter of prizes for the earning 

 tournament was then brought up, and Mr. Matz, on behalf of the 



of Philadelphia, who holds the championship of Pennsylvania for 

 live bird shooting: Eliiah D, FiiKord. the world famed record 

 breaker; Robert A. Welsh, A.J.Jamison, John Rothaker, A. L. 

 Sheets, and Frank Sbeppard of Philadelphia; H. E. Buckwalfer, 

 of the Elk Park Gun Club, Royersford, Pa.; R. T. Clayton of 

 Tamaitua, Pa.; W S. Spicer of Danville, Pa.; O. S. Heil of Bion- 

 ville, Pa., and W. I. T. Weiler, of the Weiler Gun Club, Allentown, 

 Pa. The trapping of the birds was quickly done, but the gather- 

 ing was carelessly done, and in a number of instances birds were 

 driven over th« line, whereas with a little care they could have 

 been scored. The first event at five birds per man had tweuty- 

 tuur entries; the second, a seven bird event, had fourty-two en- 

 tries, and the third at four birds each had thirty-nine entries. By 

 the time the latter event was concluded, the supply of birds had 

 been exhausted, and the additional supply promised had failed to 

 materialize, so the sport had to be abandoned. 



This was the only cause for dissatisfaction during the entire 

 tournament, and the shooters, many of whom bad traveled a long 

 distance to take part in the events at live birds, could hardly be 

 blamed for doing a little good-natured complaining at being shut 

 off with a little over a dozen birds each. President Matz assured 

 the writer that birds had been ordered in good faith, with a guar- 

 antee that they would be on hand when needed; so that the ship- 

 per and not the club should come in for the blame. 



When it was found that no more birds could be procured, the 

 shooters decided to make the best of a bad bargain and complete 

 the day in pulverizing crockery. The result of this determination 

 was that six impromptu events were shot and 1,085 targets thrown, 

 this bringing tbe total number used during the tournament con- 

 siderably above 10,000, a big number for a club tournament. 



It was about 5 P. M. when the last.'gun was fired and President 

 Matz announced the formal closing of the tournament, one of the 

 best and most successful ever run by any club in this country, and 

 one which has placed the Reading Shooting Association in a se- 

 cure position among the foremost organizations of the kind in 

 America. 



When the shooters dispersed, each to go to his respective home, 

 they vowed to a man that they would be at Reading in August to 

 take part in the State shoot. The Association is to be congratu- 

 lated upon its success in this its first big venture, which has given 

 it and its officers and members a warm spot in tbe heart of every 

 sportsman who enjoyed its hospitality. 



Below will be found detailed scores of the live bird events and 

 a summary of the target events which closed the tournament.

Solicitor vs. Hotel Keeper. 



Harbisburg, Pa., Feb. 13— The live bird race of which I in- 

 tended to secure the scores came off while I was absent from tbe 

 city, and J was not able to get detailed score. Tbe race was be- 

 tween A. Miller, county solicitor, and Patrick Russ. of hotel fame. 

 Miller came off victorious by killing 21 to Russ' 14. Tbe birds 

 were of tbe best, and while Russ grassed his 8 first birds in grand 

 »hape with the first barrel in each case, for some cause he failed 

 to keep it up and fell far below his average shooting. As the 

 blood is upon pigeon shooting now yon will probably have more 

 to chronicle in the near future. After the pigeon shooting a few 

 targets were shot as per scores below.

Hartford Defeats New Haven. 



New Haven, Conn., Feb. 10 —The second monthly club shoot for 

 '92 occurred to-day on the grouuds of the New Haven Gun Club. 

 The weather was fine and the attendance the largest that has 

 been seen for fully a year. Sweepstake shooting was enjoyed 

 before the Club medal race, and among the "straights" were 

 Bates, Savage, Wilby, Burbidge and Longdon. At 2:30 the olub 

 race opened. A class men shot at 35 singles, expert rules, and B 

 class men at 25 singles. Keystone rapid firing system

 don 31, Bates 18, Potter 16, Sherman 16, Savage 10, Bristol 16, Cower 

 10, Burbidge 11. B Class. 25 singles, ra pid firing system. Merri- 

 man 18, G. F. Clark 19, Folson 15, W. M. Clark 14, Allen 14, Mynx 

 14, Campbell 13. Kelley C. 



Tbe event of the day, however, was the team match of Hartford 

 vs. New Haven, Hartford represented by Willey and Burbidge, 

 both being members of the New Haven as well as two Hartford 

 clubs. The match etime about through a little banter indulged in 

 by the boys some time ago and came to a head by the New Haven 

 boys challenging tbe Hartfordites. The Capitol City men at once 

 accepted the challenge and left the matter entirely with their 

 New Haven friends to settle as to conditions. Hartford sent her 

 two men to New Haven, where they met and defeated the Elm 

 City boys on their own grounds and on their own conditions. The 

 scores were very poor, but such a hot rivalry has existed that 

 when New Haven had picked her two best men and the Hartford 

 men met them, a feeling of sbakiness undoubtedly crept up the 

 spin* s of the contestants. This may account for the poor scores 

 which were: 



Hartford. New Haven. 



Willey 23 Savage 21 



Burbidge 21—43 Bates 20—41 



When the match was over Bates remarked to Willey, "Well, 

 you beat us, but I think we'll have another chance at you " If 

 another match is shot the Hartford men will naturally demand 

 that it be shot in Hartford. The match was for $10 a side.
