Boiling Springs Defeat the Unions. 



Sattjkdat was a great day at Rutherford, N. J. On that day 

 the Boiling Springs Fish and Gud Ciub received a visit from the 

 crack shooters of the Union Gun Club, of Springfield, and hy dint 

 of careful work succeeded in winuing a team match from the lat- 

 ter organization. The membership of the Union Club, as is well- 

 known, comprises the name of nearly every one of the expert tar- 

 get shots of New Jersey, beside several from Pennsylvania. The 

 latter, however, did not appear for Saturday's shoot. The day 

 was a fine one for March, the light being of that peculiar cast of 

 gray that is a favorite with shooters and the wind light and 

 steady. It was not so cold, but one could stand about the grounds 

 comfortahly. The only drawback was the snow which covered 

 the field in front of the shooters, this offsetting, in a measure, 

 the good light. 



The original conditions of the match called for 12 men per team, 

 25 artificial targets per man, under the 5-trap rapid-firing system. 

 The Boiling Springs had a full team on hand, but as the Unions 

 bad only eleven meo the match, by mutual consent, was shot 

 with that number. This was the second of a series of best three 

 out of five, the first of which was won by the Union Club on their 

 own grounds. 



The match was called shortly before 2 o'clock P.M.. T. H. Kel- 

 ler acting as referee and Frank Mason being the official scorer. 

 The first squad of Union men broke 120 out of 150 targets and the 

 first squad of the home team took a lead by breaking 125. This 

 lead was never lost and at the finish the score stood 234 breaks 

 for Rutherford against 222 for Springfield. The visiting sports- 

 men, as soon as the result was announced, gave three rousing 

 cheers and a "tigar" for their conquerers, these being returned 

 with a will. The home team supplied an elegant lunch for the 

 party and all hands made scores at the festive board. The rest 

 of the day was filled in with sweepstake shooting, the results of 

 which will be found below those of the team match.

The Auburn Gun Club. 



Among other events of interest since my last writing was a 

 team race with the Cato boys. These gentlemen desired to meet 

 a team of ten of our B Class men on their grounds, and a match 

 was arranged for FeK 26. Our ten-man team consisted of only 

 nine men— one A Class, three B Class and live C Class men. The 

 race was 12 singles, 3 traps, unknown angles, and resulted in an- 

 other victory for Auburn. The score of the match, as well as that 

 of our last prize contest and live-bird shoot on the home grounds', 

 is appended:

Greenwood Justly Claims the Forfeit. 



It would be a difficult matter to find a more disgusted and dis- 

 gruntled party of sportsmen than that which assembled at the 

 Gentlemen's Driving Park in Philadelphia on March 4. The 

 press both in and out of the city announced a live bird match to 

 be shot by Frank Kleinz, Al. Sheets, John Rothaker and Win. 

 Greenwood, each of whom was to put up $200 and each to shoot at 

 100 pigeons, the winner to take the pot. Taking it for granted that 

 tlie match would be a sure '"go," a Forest and Stream represen- 

 tative railroaded from New York to Philadelphia on the above 

 date, walked over a slushy road from Girard Avenue Station to 

 the Gentlemen's Driving Park, a distance of two miles, and when 

 he arrived there received the very pleasing (?) intelligence that 

 the match would not take place, that Frank Kleinz was in bed 

 suffering from an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, and that 

 for some unknown reason Sheets and Rothaker had failed to ap- 

 pear, and that Greenwood had been on hand for some time, ready 

 and anxious to shoot. After a ninety-mile ride and over an hour's 

 uearch for the grounds, it can be imagined that the above news 

 was not of j ust the character to put one in a holiday humor. The 

 entire party, and it was a fairly large one, was mad clear through 

 and were nowise backward in expressing their sentiments. In- 

 cluded in the party were Geo. R. Hook, Chas. Topham, Jos. Thur- 

 man, Jr., Harry Thurman, Jos. Watts, Geo. Old, Jacob Pryor, 

 Frank Stallman, Jas. Halford. J. Revell, J. Maglone. Jas. Muller, 

 Thos. Greenwood, John Greenwood, Jos. Heffner and John Har- 



mer from Germantown. From Morristown were M. Mack, with 

 his famous pointer dog Mack which was to retrieve the pigeons 

 for Greenwood, Judge Dickson, Edw. Felton, E. Billerheck, J. 

 Taney, and from the city proper Wm. Wolstencroft, Wm. H. 

 Wnlstencroft, A. Lumb,Wade Wilson, A. Ru*t, Dick Irwin, Rob*. 

 W r eish, Jos. Thorn, Prof. Mensb, J. Alberger, Harry Irvin and J. 

 Young. 



About two o'clock the party ploughed its way through the sticky 

 red clay to an inclined piece of ground in the center of the track, 

 where the traps had been set in readiness. Half an hour later a 

 sweep«take was begun, at which time Greenwood, who had al- 

 lowed 2\i hours grace to the three absent ones claimed the forfeit. 

 An hour later Sheets and Rothaker reached the scene, though 

 neither of them vouchafed any reason for their failure to appear 

 at, the time stipulated. Thus the affair resulted in a grand 

 "fizzle," and one which was not at all creditable to the parties in- 

 terested. Even though Frank Kleinz was physically unable to 

 shoot, there seemed to be no good reason why Sheets and Roth- 

 acker should have remained away. It may be possible that they 

 thought discretion the better part of valor and !saw no better 

 way out than to forfeit their paltry $10 apiece and thus save $190. 

 This may be an economic like way of doing business, but it is 

 scarcely the way to give a man a reputation as a sportsman. 

 Greenwood was thoroughly disgusted with the. outcome of the 

 affair as he entered ti>e lists with the intentions of shoo' ing rather 

 than to follow the "flunking" method. It is very doubtful if the 

 match ever takes place, as Greenwood seems to be the only one 

 with any "shooting blood." 



Below will be found the scores made in the sweepstakes shot 

 during the afternoon.

Two Hill-Ruppell Matches are Fiascos. 



Last week announced that arrangements had been completed 

 for three matches between Ed. Hill, of Trenton, N. J., and M. H. 

 Ruppell, of Milford, N. J., the first at 100 live birds, American 

 Association rules, 1o take place at M'lf^rd on March 3: the second 

 at 100 bluerock targets, to be shot at Frenchtown on M^rch 4; and 

 the third at 100 live birds, under Rhode Island rules, to he con- 

 tested at Yardville on March 9. On the first mentioned date 

 a goodly party assembled at Milford, expecting to see a good 

 contest. But nary a match did they see. The principals weTe 

 both there and so was the stakeholder, who held a forfeit of $10 

 from each man on each race. The agreement called for the full 

 amount of stake for one match to be put up before said match 

 was shot, but nevertheless Hill refused to shoot unless Ruppell 

 would put up the total amount of the stakes for the three matches. 

 This Ruppell flatly refused to do. He said he was there to shoot 

 under the stipulated conditions and did not propose to agree to 

 any change of those conditions. He insisted upon the match being 

 shot, and was willing to give his pledge to shoot the remaining 

 two matches. Hill, however, refused to shoot unless the world 

 would move to suit him, and so Ruppell was given the forfeit. It 

 looked like a clear case of backdown on the part of the Trenton 

 man. . , . 



In order to kill time the party shot a number of impromptu 

 sweepstakes, which resulted as below: 



No. 1, 5 live birds, 85 entry, 3 money t: 



Hill 22111—5 Wartord 10211-4

THE FRENCHTOWN FIZZLE, 



The next day a fair-sized party, comprising among others Frank 

 Mason, the stakeholder, and M. H. Ruppell, met at Apgar's Na- 

 tional Hotel in Frenchtown, expecting of course that the blue- 

 rock match would take place. The Trenton delegates fa'led to 

 put in an pppearauce, and Ruppell pocketed forfeit No. 2. The 

 afternoon was filled in by phooting bluerock sweeps, the conditions 

 being 10 targets per man, $1 enlry, two moneys. The events are 

 summarized below: 



No. 1: Ruppell 7, Reading 9, Eilenburg 10, Warford 3, Gum- 

 mere 9. 



No. 2: Ruppell 9, Reading 9, Eilenburg 7, Warford withdrew,

No. 3: Ruppell 9, Reading 9, Eilenburg 9, Warford 6, Gum- 

 mere 10. 



No. 4: Ruppell 8, Reading 10, Eilenburg 8. Warford 8, Gum- 

 mere 8. Ruppell had to smash 18 targets to win tie for second. 



Another Shoot for the Big 1 Hog. 



Last week we published an exclusive story of a hog shoot which 

 took place at Marion, N. J., on Feb. 25. As was stated the Ihre". 

 men, Messrs. Cooper, Hollisand Jones, who tried for the "porker," 

 agreed to m^et at the same place on March 3 and shoot off for pos- 

 session of his hogshio. On that date Jones and Hollis were on 

 hand, but Cooper failed to appear. Consequently Hollis and Jones 

 concluded to shoot off for possession of tne hog, at 10 birds each, 

 and in order to make the affair a little more interesting they let 

 in Eddy Collins and Harry Smith, each of whom paid $10 for the 

 entry. The birds were a cracking good lot throughout. The race 

 resulting in a tie, it was decided to shoot it off at five birds, then 

 miss-and-out. The result is given in detail: 



Ties. Miss-and-out.

This was a warm fight between Smith and Collins, and might 

 have been still waging had not Collins's sis teem h Mrd fallen dead 

 a foot over th« boundary. Below are scores of the sweepstakes 

 shot during the day. Conditions, 4 birds, $3 entry:

The above were shot before the hog shoot. After the latter 

 event came a 5-bird shoot, $5 entry, in which four men tied for 

 first money. They decided to settle this by the scores in the suc- 

 ceeding *vent, when three of them again tried. These shot off, 

 misE-and-our, the result being that first in both events was taken 

 hy Collins. Th6 final event was a miss-and-out, $1 up, also won 

 by Collins.

Match at 5 birde: 

 Lawrence 11110-4 S Arickson 10111—4 



During the afternoon an attempt was made to arrange a match 

 between Messrs. Grolze and Mills, in fact each man challenged 

 the other to a $50 match, but disagreement as to rules caused the 

 match to fall through. These gentlemen will probably test one 

 another's skill at an early date. 



%W No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. B. R., Jr., New Haven, Conn.— Can you inform me where 1 can 

 buy Mongolian pheasants or their eggs. Ans. Write to Judge S. 

 H. Greene, Portland, Oregon, inclosing stamp. He can put you 

 on the track of them we think. 



C. C. C, Newark, N. J.— I knew of a party several years since 

 who caught a great many shad in the vicinity of Windsor Locks 

 with hait which he prepared of flour as a base. I want to learn 

 how to prepare the bait. Ans. Cholmondeley-Pennell says, 

 "There is no paste so good as a simple one of white bread crumb, 

 and made thus: Put a lump of crumb into a pocket handker- 

 chief and, having twisted it up, dip it in water, giving it, a few 

 squeezes while immerfed, so as to eject the air and substitute 

 water. Then wring the crumb as dry as may be in the handker- 

 chief and, taking it out, work it for a minute or two in the hands, 

 which should be clean. Paste should be put on in a pear shape, 

 so as to cover the shank as well as the bend of the book. 



R. K. B., Easton, Pa— I have a few trout fry, about an inch in 

 hngth, in a glass bowl, the water is changed frequently, but I am 

 concerned regarding their food. Should I feed them or not, and 

 if so, what? Ans. They must he fed as soon as the yolk sac is 

 absorbed. Many kinds of food are successfully used— heart, liver 

 and lungs of animals killed for market, mn raw through a 

 sausage-grindei ; fish flesh ground up; sour-milk curd, made by 

 pouring boiling water on bonny-clabber and straining off the 

 whey; chopped earth worms and English dog biscuit are among 

 the standard articles of diet. Fry are usually ted upon grated 

 liver, but in the smatl vessel in which your fish are kept there will 

 always be difficulty in keeping the water sweet. It would be much 

 better to hare a constant circulation of water.
