Eddie Collins, of West Hoboken, and Robert Schrafft, of New- 

 ark, shot a series of interesting contests at Wiedenmayer's Park, 

 in Newark, on Saturday, the honors resting about even. The 

 first contest was at 10 birds each for $10 a side, in whifh each 

 scored straight. This was shot off in a miss and out, Schrafft 

 winning on 10 straight-. In a miss and out, gb entry. Collins won 

 on 5 kill=; in another Schrafft won on 5 kills; in a third Schrafft 

 won on 4 kills, Coliins's fifth bird falling dead out of bounds. The 

 final tussle was a double bird miss and out. in which Collins killed 

 4 and won. August Kraemer then shot three 85 matches at 5 

 birds each against W. Hoag, winning the first, 4 to 3; tieing the 

 second on 5 each, Hoag winning the third on 5 to 4. The birds 

 were a fairly good lot.

Those shooters who fancy a fairly long >aee with a good-sized 

 lot of purses at the end, will have an opportunity to find both at 

 John Erb's "Old Stone House" grounds on Bloomfield avenue, 

 Newark, N. J., on April 27. The attraction will be a sweepstake 

 at SO live birds per man, $ SO entry, open to the world, modified 

 riurlingham rules to govern. The division of the purse will be on 

 the basis of one money for every four entries, this giving nearly 

 everybody a chance to save himself. The shooting will begin 

 promptly at 10 o'clock A. M. John Erb says he will have an 

 abundant supply of birds, and will also have a little cash to back 

 his birds against a clean score. A large number of Connecticut, 

 New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey shooters have promised 

 to be present for this event, the largest ever projected in this sec- 

 tion. Ten men have already given a positive promise to enter 

 and a3 many more are expected. 



The tournament of the Elk Park Shooting Association, to be 

 held at Royersf orct. Pa., on April 19, 20 and 21, is attracting a great 

 deal of attention among shooters all over the country. The fol- 

 lowing letter, signed jointly by those well-known sportsmen H. E. 

 Buckwalter land Harry Thurman, will give a good idea of the 

 tournament arrangements and the grounds: "As this is a new 

 place for a tournament, the people in the surrounding country 

 are very much interested. We expect a large attendance of near- 

 by shooters each day. Royersford is situated half way between 

 Philadelphia and Reading, along the Schuylkill River, and can be 

 reached by either the Pennsylvania or Reading railroads. Pas- 

 sengers coming on the Pennsylvania Railroad will stop at Spring 

 City— just across the river. Both railroads run trains so that you 

 can cime or go at almost any time you desire. Elk Park is built 

 on high level ground, and gives excellent light for shooting: has a 

 board fence built around it, and a nice large club house erected 

 on the grounds. We have put in a set of the latest electric pulls. 

 All shooting will be under American Association rules. Targets 

 will be thrown at three cents each, to be deducted from purse 

 before dividing. All purses to be divided into four prizes— 40, 30, 

 20 and 10 per cent. Shooting begins each day at 9 A. M., sharp. 

 After the programme is finished each day extra events will be 

 shot to suit shooters. Experts will have to shoot under expert 

 rules in amateur events. In the open-to-all events there will be 

 no handicap. There are three first-class hotels and five 

 restaurants in Royersford where you will be well cared for at a 

 very reasonable price, and all are situate d within ten minutes 

 walk of the grounds. Cabs will run to grounds each day. An 

 eating stand will also be erected on the grounds.'"

On March 31, Miss Jennie Smith and J. E. Weaton shot a match 

 at Pine Brook, each shooting at fifty blueroek targets :for a $50 

 purse. Miss Smith broke 46 to Wheaton's 3S. On the same day 

 in a match between Frank Class, of Pine Brook and L. Campbell, 

 of Dover; Class killed 25 to Campbell's 19. On April 1, Miss Smith 

 and L. Castle shot a match at ten live birds each, and tied on 

 straight scores.

The Oneida County Sportsmen's Association. 



A beAutietjtjTjY clear sky, a bright and warm sun that enabled 

 one to stroll about without carrying an overcoBt, a left-quarter- 

 ing wind strong enough to cause kingbirds to take some erratic 

 flights and to make pigeons feel like making quick flights: these 

 were the conditions on Tuesday, March 29, when the writer drove 

 out to the shooting grounds of the Oneida County Sportsmen's 

 Association, at Utica, N. Y. This association, one of the most 

 enterprising and prosperous of the kind in existence, had 

 arranged for a kingbird tournament to be held on the above day, 

 and as an additional attraction they had arranged for an exhibi- 

 tion match at 100 live birds each between E. D, Fulford, of Har- 

 risburg. Pa., and Dr. W. H. Booth, of Utica, president of the 

 Oneida County Sportsmen's Association. 



The grounds of the club are situated about fifteen minutes ride 

 by electric cars from the business portion of Utica, and while 

 they are all that could be desired for artificial target shooting 

 they are in no way adapted for live bird events. On the front 

 and left the boundary is close to 100yds., while on the right it is 

 scarcely 30yds. Even under American Shooting Association rules 

 it is necessary to extend the line beyond a rail fence and a fringe 

 of treeB to get the distance on the right. It is not probable that 

 many live bird events will take place there, unleBS the boundary 

 is kept within Monaco limits- Beyond the above objection the 

 grounds are admirable. They have been only recently acquired 

 by the association, which intends making very extensive im- 

 provements. They are connected with the grounds of the Cot- 

 tage Hotel, a well-known and popular roadside hostelry, where 

 the shooters were served with fine dinners on the day of the 

 above shoot. The association has a temporary house which fives 

 plenty of room to the shooters, but within a few weeks this will 

 give way to a more modernly constructed shooting house, with 

 all the latest improvements. 



On the day of the shoot, both while travelling to the grounds 

 and after arriving there, the striker was compelled at last to be- 

 lieve the recent press reports which had given such glowing ac- 

 counts of the heavy snow-storm which had recently visited upper 

 New York State. Several times on the trip were sleighs of var- 

 ious kinds encountered, the sleighing being tolerably good beyond 

 the city proper. The path leading from the Cottage Hotel to the 

 shooting house had been cut, for a part of the way, through snow- 

 banks, the snow being piled up on either side to a hight of several 

 feet. All around the hills were covered with a white mantle and 

 taken in all the surroundings were such as to lead one to believe 

 that he had suddenly been transported to a winter clime. The 

 height to which the sun has climbed, however, will soon carry 

 away the mantle and lay bare the green beneath. 



It was a few minutes after nine when the sport was begun and 

 not until the targets became almost indistinguishable on account 

 of the fading light did the shooters put up their paraphernalia of 

 war. The attendance was very large, all the cities within reach 

 having sent delegations. Among the more prominent visitors 

 were Milton F. Lindsley, of Hoboken, N. J., the great exponent of 

 American wood powder, who shot in great form hot's at live birds 

 and targets: Frank Allen, of Tawais City, Mich., rattling good 

 shot of the all around style and who was formerly a resident of 

 Utica; George Mosher, of Fulton, N. Y., who not only makes lots of 

 sales and friends for the Hunter Arms Company, but who can do 

 great work with the company's L. C. Smith Gun; Will Crattenden, 

 the inventor of the famous kingbird target by which he swears, as 

 does his partner. Mr. Card, both of Cazenovia, N. Y.; Horace B. 

 Derby, the well known sporting scribe of Albany, who edits the 

 "Rifle, Rod and Gun" of the Albany JLrgus, and wields a facile 

 pen; Chas. H. Mowry, of the Sporting Goods QazMe, of Syracuse, 

 a first-class all around shot, a clever entertainer and writer; A. 

 G. Courtney, of Syracuse, who for several years has been in the 

 business of talking up the Lefever guns; Geo. Luther, another 

 good shot from Syracuse and a jovial companion wherever met; 

 Lew Deavitt, of the Auburn Gun Club and captain of Auburn's 

 "Big Four;" Chas. Tuttle, also of the Auburn Gun Club, for the 

 members of whom he sets a tremendously hot pace either in live 

 bird or target shooting; Dr. W. Cavana and W. Cavana, Jr., the 

 latter only fourteen years old but able to break targets well up in 

 70s; W. E. Hookway and Geo. Halloway, both of Syracuse; E. D. 

 Fulford, of Harrisburg, Pa., fresh from his recent visit to Chicago- 

 Geo. Corning, another good-paced shooter from Auburn; H. c! 

 Gates, attorney for Oneida county, president of the County Asso- 

 ciation, one of its most exuert shots and a royal entertainer, and 

 A. S. Hunter, secretary of the association, who looked after the 

 cashier's office and drew commendations from all for his business- 

 like methods in promptly settling up the events. 



The kingbird traps were used, and these gave general satisfac- 

 tion, as did the targets, which were thrown in good shape. The 

 scores in the target events averaged very high, every man in the 

 party apparently being in the best of fettle. A feature of the 

 day's work was the shooting of youneW. Cavana, who broke 27 

 out of 35 targets shot at. this being a good pace for a boy of 14 

 years, particularly when ho is making his initial appearance be- 

 fore the traps. With a little more experience he will make a 

 dangerous antagonist. 



The programme announced that at 2 o'clock Dr. W. H. Booth 

 and E. D. Fulford would shoot an exhibition race at 100 birds each 

 but the old axiom that "man proposes and God disposes" held 

 good in this case, a^ Dr Booth, owing to a severe attack of illness 

 was unable to Bhoot. When it was found that, the Doctor could 

 not appear, it was decided that Mr. Fulford should shoot alone 

 as birds were rather scarce. This;ho did, beginning at 2:3o! 

 The birds at which he shot were rather an uneven lot, just the 

 kind, in fact, to fool th* most expert. Some would dart away 

 from the trap like rockets the inst ant the rope was pulled, then 

 would come perhaps several "duffers," which would need consid- 

 erable flagging, and then again would come another run of fast 

 twisters, etc. Some of his shots were equal to any I have ever 

 seen, while in trying to make others, he showed conclusively that 

 he has lost his form. This was particularly noticeable in shoot- 

 ing at birds bearing to the right. The official score shows 90 birds 

 killed out of the 100. Of the ten birds missed two were right- 

 quartering drivers, four were circlers to the right, one an in^ 

 comer, two circlers to the left and one a left-quartering driver 

 The two circlers to the left and the left-quartering driver were 

 birds which no man had any license to kill, hut the loss of the 

 seven others was due entirely to bad shooting. In nearly every 

 instance in shooting at a bird bearing to the right his first barrel 

 was practically useless, and even where he grassed these birds 

 with bis second barrel he "slobbered" them down instead of mak- 

 -'- -; clean kills, 



'ormerly these birds were "cheap meat" for his pot. In all he 

 got 57 birds of the right-bearing breed, and only in eighteen, in- 

 stances did he kill with his first barrel. His work on birds flyin" 

 in other directions was fully up to his old form, some of his shots 

 on ugly birds which twisted and zigzagged being exceptionally 

 brilliant. Taking all things into consideration, I feel perfectly 

 justified in saying that he is from 6 to 8 birds below the proper 

 form, that he has, in fact, "gone stale," as have many noted cracks 

 at times, and that he has no husiness with any of the cracks at 

 this time. The proper medicine for him would be the same as is 

 administered to athletes who have suddenly and unaccountably 

 jone "off-form," viz., drop the game for a few weeks and then 

 jegin over again. 



Taken as a whole, the tournament was a grand success, both 

 from a shooter's standpoint and socially. Everybody was in a 

 holiday humor. The members of the association were untiring in 

 their efforts to give everybody a good time, and I think I voice 

 the opinion of all when I assert that they were more than success- 

 ful in their efforts. In the target events the entries numbered 21, 

 30, 37 and 33 respectively, and in the live-bird events there were 22 

 and 19 entries. There were 2,000 targets and 350 live birds used, 

 this making a good showing, when it is considered that five dif- 

 ferent changes of traps were required ; this work of course con- 

 suming some little time. The entire management of the affair 

 was first-class, and the future shoots of the association should 

 bring out at least 100 entries.

Boston Shooting' Association, 



WEtiiiiNQTON, Mass., April 2.— A strong and changeable wind 

 blew across the traps at the grounds of the Boston Shooting Asso- 

 ciation this afternoon, giving lots of speed to the targets and 

 assisting a large percentage of them to escaoe the numerous pel- 

 lets of lead sent in pursuit. There is considerable sport shooting 

 at targets in a strong wind, but it isn't often that even the experts 

 are able to break all their birds, for there is a good deal of guess- 

 work as to where and how fast the birds are going. The breeze 

 was strong enough to-day to keep the scores down, and many of 

 the men failed to break more than half their birds. 



Merchandise match at 15 singles and 5 pairs— Class A: Oowee 

 and Perry 16, Barrett and Hill 14, Stanton 13. Class B: Gore 17 

 Daniels and Bradstreet 16, Climax 15, Stone and Warren 14. Class' 

 C: Hardy 14. Coughlin 10, Peabody 4. 



Over a dozen sweeps were shot. 



At a business meeting held during the afternoon seven new 

 members were voted in. The Association will hold an all-day 

 shoot Fast Day, April 7.

 out for it in 



The Budd— Fulford Report. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A few wordB in regard to Mr. Hough's alleged "garbled" report 

 of the Budd-Fulford shoot. Before I noticed Mr. Hartley's flag of 

 truce I had read Mr. Hough's account of the shoot with consider- 

 able pleasure and a small amount of regret. 



Mr. Hough's style pleases me. He savs what he has to say. I 

 did regret to know that Mr. Fulford was beaten so soon after hav- 

 ing won his well-earned honors. I am not sorry by any means 

 that it was Mr. Budd who did it. One thing I failed to observe In 

 the account of the shoot was anything of an offensive nature to 

 any one mentiored in it. 



It may have been there, I will not say it wasn't. The feathers 

 in our scalp locks are so long that they wave round and often 

 obscure our vision.: 



Mr. Hartley has issued his defi, and done it fearlessly it seems. 

 I hope that we shall soon bear the safe doors at Billy Mussey's 

 grind as they did once upon a time for Mr. Fulford. 



The morning papers state that Mr. Fulford is pining for the 

 American Field championship cup, and has challenged our J. A 

 R. Elliott, who now holds the oup. 



We are told that the shoot will occur within thirty days and 

 will occur in this city. That's good. There is a large number of 

 our sportsmen who would like to see Mr. Fulford shoot. We are 

 inclined to believe that he will leave Kansas Citv empty handed 

 so far as the cup goes, although he can get some side shoots for a 

 small purse without a doubt if he wants them. Brlnkstine. 

 Kansas City, Mo.
