FOREST AND STREAM. 



581 



The Interstate at Brooklyn. 



Earlt on Tuesday the sun shone clear and bright and scarcely 

 a cloud was to be seen. Those who had concluded to go to Wood- 

 lawn Park to participate in the Interstate Manufacturers' and 

 Dealers' tournament felt happy for everything presaged a lovely 

 day. At 8:30 little patches of clouds appeared here and there, and 

 these kept growing larger, the air meanwhile becoming chill and 

 damp, until at last it began to look as though the weather bureau, 

 which had promised the shooters a fair day, had changed its mind 

 and concluded bto give them a dash of rain. Later on, however, 

 the wind veered around to a more favorahle quarter and the clouds 

 lightened, as did the hearts of the Fountain Gun Club, under -whose 

 direct auspices the shoot was to be held. Although the wind con- 

 tinned to blow in a fishy manner that carried many a Keystone 

 target out of the course hoped for by the shooters, there was no 

 rain and the light in the main was favorahle. 



Woodlawn Park, situated on the line of the Sea Beach Railroad, 

 about midway between Bay Ridge and Coney Island, is one of the 

 most accessible shooting grounds in this locality, affording a 

 pleasant boat ride from South Ferry to Bay Ridge en route. The 

 grounds are admirably adapted for the purpose of trap shooting 

 and afford a full 80yd. boundary for live bird events. It was here 

 that Fulford and Brewer shot their great match on Dec. 12, 1891. 

 The grounds comprise abc ut five acres, inclosed by a tight board 

 fencelsome 10ft. high. On the south side, along the railroad, the 

 fence is in a straight line, it is about 45yds. from this fence to the 

 traps when live birds are being shot. The entire fence is usually 

 utilized as a boundary. 



The club house is 50ft long, about 20ft. wide and 15ft. high. In 

 front are long glass windows which are kept raised during warm 

 weather shoots. A platform, 15ft. wide, extends the whole length 

 of the house. On the eastern si^e of the grounds the view is ob- 

 structed by a heavy growth of timber, but on the south and west 

 there is a fine clear foreground. The Fountain Gun Club secured 

 a lease of the groundB over twelve years ago and they are under 

 the direct supervision of Herman BlattmaCher. 



The grounds on Tnesdav presented a very picturesque appear- 

 ance, the tents of the various subscribers to the Interstate Asso- 

 ciation being pitched on the. right and left of the cashier's and 

 secretary's office. On the left of the blackboard was the Squire 

 tent and to the left of this the American Wood Powder Com- 

 pany's tepee. The first tent on the right of the secretary's office 

 was that of Forest and Stream, with its invitation to ''Come in 

 and Sit Down" showing across its too. Then came in order the 

 Btriped tent of our Chicago contemporary; the smokeless "S. S." 

 powder; Colt's Patent Firearms (Jompanv; Tatham BrotneTs; 

 Jacob Pentz's and the Standard Keystone Target and Trap Com- 

 pany. All day Monday E. D. Miller had labored to get the 

 grounds in order and the tents properly arranged, and Tight well 

 was the work performed. After all his hard work Mr. Miller 

 was unable to take part in the shooting, as he was taken sick on 

 Tuesday morning and was obliged to return home. 



The more prominent of those wbo took part in the opening 

 day's shoot included Charles W. Tuttle, of the Auburn (N. Y.) 

 Gun Club; C. C. Dean, of the Maplewood (N. J.) Gnn Club; R. H. 

 Breintnali and C M. Hedden. of the South Side Gun Club, of 

 Newark, N. J.; "Uncle Billy" Sigler, of Montciair, N. J.; Eddy 

 Cdlins and \V. R. Fisher, of West Hoboken, N. J.; Thomas H. 

 Keller, of Plainfield, N. J.; Neaf Apgar, of Plainfield, N. J.; James 

 L. Smith, of Hackettstown, N. J.; W. R. Hobart, of the South Side 

 Gun Club, of Newark, N. J ; George H. Pusb.ee, of Boston. Mass.; 

 Harry L. David, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Chas. H. Sterry, of Tolland, 

 Conn.; H. L. Edgar, of Willimantic, Conn.; Paul Paulsen. John 

 Hein and Edward Valentine, of Yonkers, N. Y.; E. F. Ward and 

 C. D. Sutton, of White. Plains; J H. Richmond, of the New Jersey 

 Shooting Club. Dickey Scbaffer, the hustling salesman for 

 Schoverling, Daly & Gales was also there in all t he glory of an 

 auburn complexion and a new gun. and he shot a great pace. A 

 look over the scores will show that the New York and Brooklyn 

 shooters were conspicuous by their absence, so far as shooting 

 was concerned. I noticed, however, among the spectators a great 

 many who are seen at the various club shoots on the island, and 

 take it for granted that it was modesty alone that prevented them 

 from becoming contestants. It would seem, however, that the 

 members of the, Fountain Gun Club should have turned out 

 stronger for the tournament and have taken a hand in the shoot- 

 ing. The work done during the day was rf a high order, the 

 scores running very even. The work of the cashier's office was 

 done in great shape by Wilbur Morse, the old-timer who used to 

 handle the cash and manipulate the scores during the palmy 

 Dunnelan days. The official scoring was done bv Ohaa. A. Dellar, 

 while the blackboard was chalked by "Baron" Von Wossau. The 

 averages of the leaders during the day were as follows: 

 Experts.— Hobart 87 s , 0 . Apgar 86 s 1 o. 

 Semi-professionals.— Tuttle 85 1 !,,, Breintnali 71 1 ,

The Second Day. 



Wednesday opened with a fair sky and bright sun, and until 10 

 o'clock it looked as though a good day was ahead. At that Irnur 

 the clonds began to gather and these kept growing heavier and 

 blacker until 4 P. M., when the rain began to fall, lightly at first, 

 then gathering force until the ninth regular event had been con- 

 cluded, when a veritable torrent prompted the management to 

 shut down on the shooting. Several new-comers were noticed, 

 among them being Justus von LQntrerke, of this city; R. G.Moore 

 of 'he New Jersey Shooting Club; Harry Thurman, of the Phila- 

 delphia Item; J. W. Lvon, of the North Sid* Gun Club; Louis 

 Shortemeir, of the Emerald Gun Club; Ferd Van Dyke, of the 

 South Side Gun Club of Newark, N. J.; Charles Hughes, of the 

 Roseville Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., and W. Tread way, of Phil- 

 adelphia. 



The shooting was begun about 9:30 A. M„ half a dozen extra 

 events preceding the beginning of those on the regular programme 

 The leaders in averages were as follows: 



Experts— Hobart 79, Apgar 77. 



Semi-Professionals— Breintnali 79, Sterrv 74.

Tlie Third Day. 



Thursday was the day when live birds were to be substituted 

 for targets and a great big shoot was anticipated. Fifty entries 

 was fixed upon as the bottom number provided the weather was 

 good. But Sergeant Dunn was in a disagreeable mood, and the 

 rain which started in on Wednesday evening was still falling on 

 Thursday morning when the shooters peeped through their win- 

 dows. The patter and pour was kept up until near 11 A. M., when 

 the clouds lighted and the sun shone strong and fierce until after 

 2 o'clock, when the rain re-commenced and did not cease falling 

 until supper time. Afternoon the attendance was fair, thanks to 

 the fact that places outside of Brooklvn sent delegations. These 

 comprised G |W Pushee of Boston, H. A. Penrose, H. L. Edger and 

 C. H. Sterry of Connecticut, H. E. Smith, S. Castle. 0. M. Hedden, 

 Frank Class and P. J. Zsglio of the Newark (N. J.) Gun Club, Mr. 

 Sykes of the New Utrecht Gun Club and "Uncle Billy" Hughe3 of 

 Jersey City. 



Long Island was away behind in turning out shooters, and in no 

 event during the day did more than five Long Island men enter. 

 Had it not been for New Jersey and Connecticut the shoot would 

 have been a bleak and dismal failure. And the same may be sa^d 

 with truth of the two previous days. On Tuesday twelve men 

 shot through the programme, of whom seven were from Jersey, 

 three from Connecticut, one from Philadelphia and one from 

 Auburn, N. Y. On Wednesday twelve men shot the full pro- 

 gramm r , eight being from New Jersey, two from Connecticut and 

 two from Philadelphia. On neither day did a Long Island man 

 shoot the programme, and on Tuesday only six men from the 

 Island shot at all. The members of the Fountain Gun Club, who 

 it would be natural to suppose would patronize their own shoot, 

 were conspicuous by their absence. The membership of the club 

 is, I believe, better than eighty, and yet the members took so little 

 interest in the affair as to remain at home while outside people 

 are shooting up targets and birds for the benefit nf the club. 



The birds used during the day were without exception the 

 meanest lot of "squealers" and "duffers" it has ever been my 

 fortune to see. Even had the weather been favorable I doubt if 

 20 per cent, of them could have been tempted to take an average 

 speed, and as it was they would not fly at all. The only thing that 

 surprised me was to see a bird missed, as I really believe a man 

 should have been able to kill a thousand straight under the condi- 

 tions. It is an outrage to put up such a lot of "peepers" for sports- 

 men to practice on. The management, of course, thought they 

 were purchasing good birds and the chances are that when Her- 

 man Blattmacher and the seller meet, the latter will hear some 

 "English as she is spoke." The first two sweeps were shot, 

 under Monaco rules, the first being at 5 birds, $5 entry, two 

 moneys and the second a $1 miss-and-out. Below are the scores:

 The pot amounted to $10 and each had shot at 13 birds, which 

 necessitated each one's going down in his pocket for $2.25 to 

 "square up with Wilbur." 



The regular events were as follows: No. 1, 5 birds, $5 entry, 4

During the three days the shooters had cause for constant com- 

 plaint owing to the sluggish manner in which the events were 

 run. One event would be finished before any attempt was made 

 to secure entries for another, and long delays were the result. H. 

 A. Penrose was aJone in the direct management, and had his 

 hands full. The members of the club, excepting two or three 

 men, seemed to be utterly indifferent as to whether the tourna- 

 ment was successful or not, and lent no hand toward performing 

 any of the duties. About one-half i he time during the two target 

 days there was no trap-puller except when oue of the spectators 

 was impressed for duty.

The Independents Win Again. 



Down on the edge of the Newark meadows, just below the Em- 

 mett street station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, stands the 

 shooting box of the South Side Gun Club, and here on Saturday 

 last were gathered representatives of nearly every gun club in 

 New Jersey, who were on hand for the purpose of taking part in 

 the team contest of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League and 

 also in the open events scheduled by the local club. 



The day was warm and clear, with just breeze enough to temper 

 the rays of the sun without materially interfering with the regu- 

 lar flight of the targets. There were two sets of five traps each, 

 one in front of the shooting box and the other to the right, a 

 board screen separating the two sets. Shooting on the front set 

 was done from a platform about 18in. above ground, this necessi- 

 tating the use of a 5ft. screen behind the traps. As can be imag- 

 ined, the targets had traveled some distance on tbeir journey 

 before rising to any height above this screen, and consequently 

 the shooting was at long range. On the side set the shooters stood 

 on the ground and the trap screens were just high enough to pro- 

 tect the trappers. On the left of the shooting box was a large 

 wall tent, under the shelter of which were dispensed lunch, soft 

 drinks and cigars. This proved to be such a center of attraction 

 that the stock of edibles and drinkables were exhausted before 3 

 o'clock. 



It was about. 10 A. M. when the shooting began, the attendance 

 at that hour beiug rather light. In twos, threes and half-dozens, 

 however, shooters kept appearing until by noon a goodly company 

 was present. The management of the shoot devolved upon W. 

 R. Hobart, R. H. Breintnali and I H. Terrill, who worked like 

 beavers to keep things running smoothly, and they succeeded 

 wonderfully well when it is considered that they, with the assist- 

 ance of Dr. Hedden, were obliged to attend to all the clerical 

 work in the office, as well as the work outside. The team shoot 

 was superintended by Neaf Apgar, the League's efficient manager. 



Quite a number of well-known visitors were present from 

 various places, among them beiug Capt. A. W. Money and his 

 son, E. Money, from Oakland. N. J., where they look after the 

 factory of the American E. C. Powder Company; Al Heritage. 

 "Old South Paw," from Jersey City. N. J ; "Uncle Billy" Sigler, 

 of Montciair; Geo. E. Reading, of the Flemington (N. I.) Gun 

 Club; S. S. Terrill, of New York, a veteran member of the Essex 

 Gun Club, aud Wm. G. Hollis, of the Newark Gnn Club. 



All the shooting was done under the rapid-firing system, in 

 squads of six men each, the shooting being from known angles. 

 United States targets were thrown and th?se proved to be good 

 breakers despite previous adverse reports. About 7,000 targets 

 were thrown and there were no complaints as to their non-break- 

 ine qualifies. 



The team match for the State championship, open to teams of 

 five men each from any club in the State, 25 targets per man, was 

 started about 2 P. M. the following clubs being represented: 

 South Side Gun Club, East Side-Mutual Gun Club, and Woodside 

 Gun Club, of Newark; Independent Gun Club, of Plainfield; Pas- 

 saic Citv Gun Club, of Passaic; Boiltng Springs Fish and Gun 

 Club, of Rutherford; Maplewood Gun Club, of Maplewood; 

 East Orange Gun Club, of East Orange; New Jersey Shoot- 

 ing Club, of Claremont, and the Brunswick Gun Club, of 

 New Bruuswick. Frank Mason was official scorer. This con- 

 test was a hotly contested one, and until the last shot was 

 fired the result was by no means assured. The Independents, 

 however, again proved their mettle by pulling out winners by the 

 narrow margin of two targets from the Sout h Sides, three from 

 the Boiling Springs, four from the Manlewoods and five from the 

 Woodsides. Baar. of the East Side-Mutuals; Squires, of the In- 

 dependent?, and Hedden, of the South Sides, made high scores, 

 securing 24 breaks each.

During the time the team contest was running on the front set 

 of traps the side traps were kept busy. 10-targec sweeps being the 

 rule. Previous to the beginning of the team shoot both sets had 

 been running full time, 15-target sweeps being run on the front 

 set. There was considerable delay hetween squads, owing to the 

 fact, of shooters being entered for sweeps on either set at once 

 Had it not been for this nearly 10,000 targets would have been 

 shot. 



During the day some of the shooters complained loudly because 

 targets were charged for at the rate of three cents each, the maxi- 

 mum price allowed by the by-laws of the League. My opinion is 

 that the above price is low enough and that no one has any right 

 to complain. It costs considerable to put grounds in order for an 

 affair of this magnitude, and as each gets but one out of ten 

 shoots there is no reason why they shonld not be allowed to 

 make money off the shoot. 



Below wtll be found the result of the shooting in the programme 

 event8. In the 15-target events the entry was $1.50 and in the 10- 

 target events $1. There were four moneys in all except where 

 otherwise noted.

 Dyke 14, Moore 13, E. Money 11, Breintnali 10.
