The Linden Grove's Combination Shoot. 



P*Onck every month Dexler Park shooting grounds are visited by 

 the Linden Grove Gun Club, the members of which shoot at 7 

 live birds for the Class A and B medals and also at bluerock tar- 

 gets. The February shoot was fairly well attended. The birds 

 were good, the weather cloudy, the wind, while not quite strong 

 enough to hurry live pigeons, still had force sufficient to make 

 the light saucers perform some troublesome movements. The 

 contests were well contested, as shown below:

Toronto Tournament. 



Toronto, Feb. 26.— The Toronto Gun Club has just completed 

 its three days' meeting and it has been a very satisfactory one 

 indeed, with a liberal list of prizes, a good gathering of shooters 

 and a high grade of shooting despite somewhat of unpleasantness 

 in the weather surroundings. The story of the tournament is iold 

 in the subjoined day to day narrative: 



Feb. S3.— The air was raw, the breezes very chill, and the damp- 

 ness was that of coldness that seemed to pierce through one's 

 anatomy down at the Woodbine yesterday. The surface under 

 foot was slush and water, and access to the field was not pleasing. 

 All these climatic difficulties, however, did not dampen the ardor 

 of the 400 spectators who turned out at the traps during the day, 

 or affect the skill of the ninety crack shots who had gathered 

 from all parts of the province, and had come from over the bor- 

 der for the grand tournament of the Toronto Gun Club. 



The traps had been carefully and conveniently laid by the ener- 

 getic chairman of the club committee, George Briggs. They 

 formed a semi-circle facing the lake and looking toward the east. 

 A shanty was erected for the secretary's quarters, and for the 

 stowage of guns and other traps of the trap shooters. The slight 

 mist did not affect the light at short range in the slightest, and it- 

 was, verily speaking, a great day for the trap shooter. 



Among the comnetitors from out of the city are: B. Brown, of 

 Morristown; W. Stroud, J. Stroud and J.Forsyth, of Hamilton; 

 J. Wayper, of Hespeler; J. W. Price, of St. Williams; C. Mont- 



Chapman 11 



Hammond 15 



Clifford 14 



H W Smith 7 



Knowls 8 



Emond 15 



wood; R. Fick of Port Rowan; H. Saulter, of Oshawa, and Geo. 

 Rogers, of St. Catherines. 



The first event on the programme was commenced shortly after 

 10 o'clock, and thereafter a continual ping-ping of the gun was 

 sustained until twilight was seen approaching in the distance. 

 The fonr blackbird events down, on the programme for yesterday 

 were completed. The shooting in these was remarkably good, 

 and unless a man smashed 9 out of 10 of the discs he was not in it. 

 The straight scores, too, were frequent. In these events the 

 American shootists did some good work, and will return borne 

 carrying a few sheaves with them. 



The $500 live bird shoot, of 20 pigeons brought out a splendid lo*- 

 of entries. The sixth squad had been finished late in the after- 

 noon, but there were still some to follow. The birds were slow, 

 and showed signs of too lengthy confinement. The raising strings 

 were required in most cases snd the flightB were slow. The shoot- 

 ing, however, in this event was also capital and the scoring high.

Second Bay, Feb. $h. 



The weather to-day was more favorable than that, of the first 

 day of the Toronto Gun Club's tournament and the birds were by 

 far a better lot. The unfinished $500 pigeon shoot was concluded 

 w ith the result that Wayper, Price, Wakefield, Glover and Blea, 

 who got a clean string of 20, divided the first moneys, aggregating 

 $260, and netting each $"2. Andrews, Tymon, Brown, Rogers, 

 and Saulter, who made 19, divided the next five prizes or $110. 

 Briggs, Wells. Henry, Stroud, Bell, Lewis, Evans, Forsyth, Spen- 

 cer, McDowall and Chapman, who got 18. divided the next ten 

 prizes of $130. She second live pigeon event on the programme 

 was begun, but was not finished. Andrews, Glover and Wayper 

 are the leaders so far, having killed a straight string. The other 

 events at artificial birds were keenly contested.

Good Team Work at Dexter Park. 



The grounds of Louis Miller, at Dexter Park, were the scene of 

 some lively shooting on Feb. 23, the main attraction being "the 

 contest between Elias HeJgans and L. C. Gebring versus Geo. 

 Remsen and A. Andrews. Each man shot at 60 live birds, for a 

 stake of $100 a team. The weather was clear, the wind blowing 

 stiff from the easl'ard and the birds were good. The men shot 

 from the 30yd. mark. The s^ore 3 :

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



Chicago. 111., Feb. 37.— There is a 24-karat hoodoo broodiDg over 

 this burg in shooting matters. Nothing goes as planned. Last 

 week was announced the plans for entertainment of the Milwau- 

 kee team that was to come down and repeat that Ft. Dearborn 

 massacre. Instead, there comes on Tuesday a card saying that 

 all Milwaukee is sick and all dates are off. At which Ft. Dear- 

 born Club heaves a sigh of relief, for it expected to be beaten. 



News was received here with some interest of the match at 

 Oskaloosa, Iowa, on Thursday of this week, between Mr, C. W. 

 Budd, of Des Moines, la., and Mr I. A. Marshall, of Keithsburg. 

 111.. 100 live birds, which was won by Mr. Budd with a score of 96 

 to 90. If the birds were hard, that was goodish sort, of shooting. 



At Virginia, HI., on Thursday of this week, the old-time and 

 still sturdy champion, Capt. A. H. Bogardu", was defeated bv Mr. 

 Geo. Rexroat, of Virginia, in a match at 100 live birds, Mr. Rex- 

 roat killing 93 to the old Captain's 83. It is quite a credit to beat 

 the old man, even now, although we must fear his best days are 

 past. Mr. Rexroat made one run of 43 straight, a very remark- 

 able string. Capt. Bogardus is credited with only 18 straight for 

 top run. Mr. Rexroat has been shooting in high form of late. 



On Friday of this week Mr. W. P. Mussey and Mr. M. Hof- 

 mann. both of this city, shot a race at 100 live birds, $100, Mr, 

 Mussey winning. 87 to 81. Thpse were hard birds. Mr. Hofmann 

 stood to win till toward the finish, where Mr. Mussey ran out 

 w T ith 19 straight and a good lead. Mr. Hofmann at one stage 

 killed 47 out of 49 birds. Only 3 birds of the 200 failed to start 

 promptly on the springing of the traps. 



Mr. Rolla Heikes started early in the week for New Orleans 

 Mardi Gras tournament, which he will report for this paper. Mr. 

 Heikes tells us that he is about determined to give a big spring 

 target and live bird tournament, at Chicago, April 9. In that 

 case bis time race, to break 500 targets in an hour, will probablv 

 be shot here, and so also will be the Illinois— Ohio target race, 5 

 men teams. §250 a side. Illinois team will be chosen from R. O. 

 Heikes, of Chicago: T. A. Marshall, of Keithsburg; Geo. Rexroat 

 and A. J. Atwater, of Chicago; Ed. Spencer and W. Crosby, of 

 O'Fallon; and Mr. Wilson, of Peoria. Ohio team will probably bB 

 George Osborn, of Toledo; Scott and McDonald, of Davton; Ed. 

 Taylor, of Cincinnati: Mr. Ward, of Columbus; and Mr. Sanford, 

 of northern Ohio. 



Fairly pleasant weather has prevailed to-day for the IT. S. 

 pigeon free tournament at Watson's Park, under the auspices of 

 Mr. F. C. Damm, of the company, and Mr. O. Von Lengerke, of 

 Von Lengerke & Antoine, Chicago agents for that target. Scores 

 are given elsewhere. E. Hough. 



Shooting- for a Live Ox. 



A big crowd of trap shooters visited th6 well appointed grounds 

 of the Perth Amboy (N. J.) Gun Club on Washington's Birthday 

 to indulge in their favorite pastime. The club has recently pur- 

 chased the old grounds of the Perth Amboy Base Ball Club, and 

 has erected a pretty club house thereon. On this occasion the 

 house was used for the first time. The Perth Amboyites turned 

 out in force to see the shooting, which was all at live birds. The 

 principal interest centered in a contest at 5 birds per man, 85 

 entry, the only prize being a gigantic ox. There were seventeen 

 entries. This was shot under the old rules, single barrel, gun 

 below the elbow until b'rd is on the wing. Charles Applegate was
