Journalist and Trap Shot. 



Accompanying this article is an excellent likeness of Allen 

 Willey, editor and proprietor of the Hartford Globe, and one of 

 the most popular trap shots in Connecticut. He is 34 years of 

 age and was born in New London. In 1879 he removed to Hart- 

 ford, where he studied law for two years, after wbich he gave up 

 his legal aspirations for the more congenial field of journalism. 

 In 1883 he bought the Hartford Globe, a Sunday newspaper, and 

 has since perlormed its editorial functions. 



Mr. Willey commenced trap shooting in August, 1888, when he 

 joined the Colt. Club of Hartford. He is now a member of the 

 Colt and the Hartford Gun Clubs, of Hartford, the New Haven 

 and the New London Gun Clubs, and also of the Essex Club, of 

 Newark, N. J. As a target smasher he has participated iu man> 

 of the leading tournaments in the East and has been a;familiar

fieure at the Connecticut shoots for the past few years. On Oct. 

 2°, 1890, he won the State championship cup it Union Grove, 

 Hartford. On Nov. 4, 1891, at Union G-ove, in a practice shoot, 

 Mr. Willey broke 99 Keystones out of 100, missing his sixty-seventh 

 target. Hp thpn broke 24 out of 25 Handle clays, making 133 out of 

 125. Mr. Willey is president of the Hartford Gun Club, and a 

 diiectTr in the New Haven Club. On Jan. 31, of this year, he 

 shot his first live bird from the trap, going to John Erb's and 

 entering in a 25 bird sweep. He killed 30 and got a part of third 

 money. At the present time Mr. Willey has all told shot at 334 

 live pigeons, 203 of which he has killed. Hi3 work at Erb's on 

 Wednesday last, when he killed 59 out of 65, with two dead out of

The Man With a Broken Leg Wins. 



Davenport, la.. May 30.— Between 200 and 300 people assembled 

 on the grounds of the Forester Gun Club yesterday atttrnoon to 

 witness the $50 entrance fee shoot between Chris. Reese, of 

 Moline; Thos. Laflin, of Milan; Harry Clifford, of Chicago; Mas 

 Starr, of Rock Island, and Geo. Somerson, of Coal Valley. The 

 match was to have been at 50 live birds per man, but the birds ol 

 the country are being gobbled up by the agents for the Iowa and 

 Illinois State shoots, which are fast approaching, and difficulty 

 was experienced in obtaining the requisite number of birds. The 

 contestants agreed to shcot at 35 biias apiece when the shortage 

 in supply was reported to them, and these were only fair birds. 

 The Ecores under the circumstances were good, but not remark- 

 able. They were as follows: 



Laflin 31 Reese 28 Starr 20 



Clifford 29 Somerson 31 



Laflin, who broke his leg on the 7th inst., has not recovered 

 from the effects of the injury, and shot standing on one foot with 

 the other in a chair. He won first money, Clifford the rest,while 

 the three losers; under the trrms governing the contest, paid the 

 expenses. 



The next event of the afternoon was the third match, at 35 

 targets, of a series of three team contests between R. C. White 

 and W. C. Voss, of Geneseo, 111., and James Montgomery aud C. F. 

 Rost, of Moline, HI. The first match was shot at Moline, and was 

 won by the Moline boys, the second, at Geneseo, was won by the 

 representatives of that town, and the third, here, Wis won by them 

 by the following score:

Sweepstake, 10 targets, entrance $1: Voss 8, Warner 8, White 7, 

 Burk 6, Tain 6, Stohle 6, Rost 6, Cooper 4. Rost third on shoot-off.

Wilkes Barre Coming into Line. 



Wilkes Babbe, Pa., May 21.— Following are the scores made 

 by some of the employes of the Wilkes Barre Gun Co. on the 

 grounds at the factory on the 31st. All are beginners at the trap 

 but some are -'catching on" to the flying targets in good shape.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Von Lengerke & Antoine, the popular sporting goods dealers, have 

 sent us one of their catalogues, the first ever issued by the Arm, and 

 after a look at the beautifully engraved cover and elegant interior 

 typography, we do not blame the firm for saying that they are "as 

 bappy as lot ds" over their premier publications. The front cover 

 shows a reduced cut of Cop pern oil's famous picture, ''Coming In," 

 beside enumerating the various specialties of the firm. It is a work 

 of art and should be inspected by all sportsmen, 



George S. Atwater, who is notTonfy a well-known and expert field 

 and trap shoe, but a prominent bicyclist as well, has located iu New 

 York where he will look after the eastern interests of the -Sporting 

 Goods Review, he having been elected secretary of tbe company. 1'f 

 George works as hard in his new fipld as he did for the L. A. W. 

 when he was chief counsel for the District of Columbia, and after- 

 ward chairman of the Racing Board, he will be s ire to create a 

 boom. He has become an active member of the Boiling Springs 

 Fish and Gun Club, of Rutherford, N, J., and will be a strong card 

 for future contests.

During the Washington shoot, some of the boys entered into a dis- 

 cussion as to the relative merits of: various kinds of provender in re- 

 gard to quieting the nerves. Some asserted that onions and lettuce 

 comprised a combination that "beat the world" for steadying the 

 nerve. William Tell MitchPll. of Richmond, Va., took exception to 

 this and says he will stake $50 on being able to beat any man in the 

 world in a contest at fifty live birds each under these conditions. 

 The match to be shot directly after dinner, during which Mr. Mitch- 

 ell's opponent, shall partake of nothing but onions and lettuce. The 

 boys were greatly amused at the terms suggested, but Mr. Mitchell 

 was in down-right earnest.

R. C. Clayton, of the United States" Hotel, Tamaqua, Pa., sends us 

 word of a big tournament to be held there on June 1, 2 and 3 the 

 first two days at targets and the last day at live birds.

During the second day's shoot of the Capital City Gun Club, J. H. 

 Hunter los' a very highly prized fishing knife, and upon the assertion 

 of some of the party that the knife had slipped under the station 

 plaifoim, he offered a dollar to a little darkey to rec iver the prop- 

 erty. The darkey was suspici us of some trick and refused to go un- 

 der the planks while the party was on the scene. Joe told the coon 

 to recover the knife before the next day and come to the grounds 

 for his dollar, not suspecting any trick. At dinner the next day, 

 Hilly Wagner brought the darkey into tbe dining room, and to the 

 delight of Hunter, the darkey brought the lost knife. Joe did not 

 waif long before rewarding tne finder, after which he entered the 

 barroom to "celebrate." Shortly after, as he was crossing the road, 

 the little darkey came up and said: "Say, Mr. Hunter, dat Mr. Wag- 

 ner dun gimme a dime for just givin' you dat knife wat he had in 

 him pocket since last night." This gave the snap away and Hunter 

 is now trying to devise a scheme for getting even with Wagner. 



Billy Wolstencroft says he has a corner reserved for a big mas- 

 coionge head which he is to receive from Bre'r Hough. And by the 

 way, Bre'r H., how did that combination shooting -fishing suit fit? 



Nearly all the visiting shooters dropped in on M. A. Tappan while 

 in Washington last week. Mr. Tappan is one of the best known sport- 

 ing goods dealers in the town and is always ready to extend a wel- 

 coming hand to visitors. 



Once more we wish to impress*upon the minds of our readers the 

 necessity for addressing to Forest and Stkkaji instead of individ- 

 uals, all matter intended for publication. The trap editor of the 

 paper is away a great portion of the time, and during his absence 

 many letters are received addressed to him, the result being that 

 publications of important notices are often delayed. When you have 

 anything for publication, address it to Trap Department. Forest and 

 Stream, 318 Broadway, New York. C. H. Townsend. 



Rochester Wins the Final. 



Rochesteb, May 20— The Rochester Rod and Gun Club met 

 the enemy from Syracuse yesterday afternoon and the deciding 

 match of the inter-city series was won by the local gunners by 20 

 birds. Previous to the match, which commenced at 2:S0 o'clock, 

 eight sweepstakes were shot, and again at the conclusion of the 

 big match three more sweepatakes, the rain balking any further 

 proceedings. The wind blew a gale at the Monroe avenue grounds 

 and brilliant shooting was out of the ques'ion. All things con- 

 sidered, however, the scores was remarkably good. The match 

 was at kingbirds and 5.C00 of tbem were thrown. When the day's 

 sport was over the Syracusans were royaily entertained at the 

 Hotel Bartholomay, Score:
