FOREST AND STREAM. 



33 



PEARL RIVER GUN CLUB, 



On Wednksday last the three days' tournament under the aus- 

 p=ces of this cJub was commenced at the club grounds, Pearl 

 River, Rockland county, N. Y, After the grounds are reached 



Railroad. The shootingr grounds are situated on the crest of a 

 knoll in a little rlearinf? of about two acre?, shut in by large trees 

 and underbrush. The light in consequence is not of the best, the 

 trees growing on the edge of the grounds casting alternately 

 shades of light and dark. 



The attendance was not as large as 1t shotild have been. The 

 place is accessible enoueh, and the members of the club, at least a 

 few of them, are well-known devotees of the trap. 



At the hour named for i he beginning of the programme events 

 but few shooters were upon i he grounds, and it was fully 11 o'clock 

 before the first regular programme event was started. 



The weatiier was also against the men, for it threatened rain 

 continually. Heavy clottds kept coming together and then break- 

 ing apart, making the light an awfully trying one for the shooters, 

 and at times the bluerocks could not be seen by the shooter at the 

 score. 



Wednesdmi, July First Day. 



Before and after the regular programme of the day a number of 

 sweeps were gotten up and shot off; as they were all extras the 

 scores are given mprely as records.

The shooting stopped at an unusually early hour, but even, the 

 old rounders had a surfeit of target shooting for one day and 

 cried enough. 



Thursday, July S3, Record Day. 



Again a bad outlook in the early morning. The wiud was south- 

 east, and a duU, heavy sky threatened a downpour at any moment. 

 This bad outlook had a depressing effect on the attendance, for 

 even the most enlliusiascic Jersey gun crank will hesitate to ex- 

 pose himself to a wet day when only targets are offered. At 10 

 o'clock the wind blew strongly, and although still from the east- 

 ward, it carried the clouds before it, so that the sun shone out 

 the balance of the day. A large number of ladies were in attend- 

 ance during the afternoon, and they gave quite an animated 

 appearance to the shooting grounds. Among the visitors to-day 

 were Dr. Mitchell, of Nashville, Tenn., and Mr. Stewart, of Gal- 

 veston, Texas. The former gentleman acting part of the time as 

 referee. Mr. Tnylor shot throughout the entire day and was 

 shooting in excellent form, and although a stranger here he was 

 evidently no novice at the sport.

During the two days spent at target smashing abotit 5,000 blue- 

 rocks were thrown. The attenda,uce of the club members was 

 very light, and, as usual at tournaments of this kind, one or two 

 willing ones had to turn in and do all the work. Mr. J. Blauvelt 

 had worked bard to make the meeting a success, and in the run- 

 ning of the shooting was ably assisted by Frank Post and W. 

 Fred Quimby. 



FrUlay, July Tliinl Bay. 



The weather in the morning was of the worst character. From 

 early morning until noon it rained continually, and a.t times the 

 rain fell in a perfect deluge. Despite the rain, however, a goodly 

 number of the pigeon-shooting fraternity put in an appearance, 

 for the contests of the day were to be all at live birds, and when 

 feathered targets are offered it is next to impossible to keep the 

 Jerseymen away.

 majority vote of the shooters present on the grounds. No one 

 Avill be handicapped in these events. All will shoot on an equal 

 footing. The tournament will take place on the grounds of the 

 New London Gun Club, which have been arranged for our system 

 of shooting. Competent men have been engaged to act as' cash- 

 iers, scorers, etc. The tents will he arranged in the same manner 

 as they are at the Inter-State Manufacturers' and Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation tournaments, and nothing will be left undone to make

 familiar with the grounds and Standard-Keystone rules before 

 the regular shoot begins on Tuesday, the 11th. 



Event No. 5 of the fourth day is to determine who is the cham- 

 pion target shot of America from year to year. The prize is a 

 handsome diamond ring; the setting emblematic of a Standard- 

 Keystone target. The ring is duplicated each year and becomes 

 the personal property of the winner. 



Event No. 5 of the third day is to determine which State has 

 the champion target team of America. Six men constitute a 

 team. 



Event No. 6 of the fourth d»y is the most interesting annual 

 race shot. O.R.Dickey, of Biston, is captain of the Eastern 

 team, and Wm. H. Wolstencrof t, of Philadelphia, is captain of 

 the Western team. Six men constitute a team. New York City 

 is the dividing line. Dickey has the choice of any six men living 

 east of New York City, and Wolstencroft the choice of any six 

 men living west of New york City. The entrance for the event is 

 $60 per team. 



All trophies won by individuals at this tournament are to be 

 held by tbem for one year, and bond given for their safe return 

 at the expiration of said time. If winners prefer, donors wiU hold

THE HOLLYWOOD HANDICAP. 



ON Friday last a,t Hollywood, N. J., on the grounds of John 

 Hoey, was inaugurated a contest which is bound to be in 

 future years the shooting event of the coimtry. The pigeon- 

 shooting grounds at Hollywood are fast becoming known as the 

 scene of some of the most important pieeon-shooting affairs that 

 have ever come off in America. This last will be one of the fa- 

 vorite events of the kind, and as the years roll around will draw 

 the great cracks of the breechloader from Hurlingham and the 

 Gun Cluh, as well as from the continent, to compete for the rich 

 pecuniary stakes attached to the race. The name by which the 

 affair is to be known is to be the Hollywood Grand National Han- 

 dicap. The conditions are $100 entrance, 50 birds per man, 5 en- 

 tries to fill, 3 moneys, Hurlingham Club rules to govern, ties to be 

 shot off at 10 birds per man. 



The pigeon-shooting grounds at Hollywood deserve special no- 

 tice. Everyone is familiar with the magnificence of the Hoey 

 estate at Long Branch, its hotel, its cottages, and the princely 

 house of the owner. Two sons are passionately fond of field 

 sports; and to these gentlemen are shooting men indebted for the 

 excellent fashion in which pigeon contests have been started. The 

 grounds lie to the westward of the hotel and slope strongly to the 

 wall which confines the waters of the artificially made lake of 

 some dimensions. The boundaries are short, being about ISyds. 

 in front of the traps and 21yds. from the center traps on either 

 side. A net wire fence 18in. in height and circular in form runs 

 to the straight lino of the rear boundary. A set of King's traps 

 with the automatic pull governs the opening of the traps, not 

 even the '"puller" knowing which trap is to be sprung. Gilbert o( 

 Philadelphia supplies the birds, all of which are selected ones 

 to the club members. Ilis reputation as a purveyor is such 

 that when his name is matter of mention the quality of the 

 birds is at once understood. Already one grand match has been 

 held at Hollywood. This has been named the Futurity Stake. 

 The contests are limited to members of the Westminster. Carta- 

 ret. Country. Tuxedo and Country clubs of this city and the Riv- 

 erton, of Philadelphia. 



Fi-iday morning opened with as horrible a rain storm as we had 

 this summer. The rivers of Jersey, which I crossed going down 

 to Long Branch, were full to overflowing and ran red with the 

 richly-colored mud of .Tersey lands. Reaching Hollywood, every- 

 thing was found wet and dripping. Shooting men wandered 

 around disconsolate and gloomy. Rubber coats, macintoshes and 

 "gum" boots were at a premium. One or two suegested postpone- 

 ment. "Postpone nothing," said Fred Hoey, "never yet have we 

 postponed any event at Hollywood, and we shall not begin now. 

 Besides, in an hour it will be clear." So we waited and waited, 

 until at mid-day the clouds broke, the rain stopped, and the 

 management decided to start the race at once. At 13:.S0 the first 

 man was called to the trap— Walter G. Murphy— and the match 

 was on.

 o Dead out of bound.?; 3, killed with second barrel. 

 The stakes were not given as in class sPooting, when the ties of 

 h'ghest number of kills shoot off for first place. Instead, the 

 best men were 1o take the money. Thus I'age and Edgar G. 

 Murphy having each gotten the highest scores shot off the ties 

 according to rule to see which should take the $700 first prize. 

 The scores made were: 



Page, 30yds 1313103131-9 Murphy, 31yd8 0003321220-fi 



Page winning first amount by 3 birds to the good, Murphy hav- 

 ing to content himself with second amount, $200. 



Seaver Page was in magnificent form, and it would have taken 

 a Brewer or an Elliott to have beaten him on this occapion. He 

 shot quickly, getting on h's birds in masterly fashion, for they 

 were "centereil," as the saying is, at nearly every shot. Seldom 

 did he make what is called a "slobbering" kill. At the outset ef 

 the match he had the "luck of the birds" with him. As it pro- 

 gressed he had as good birds fall to him as did any of the con- 

 testants, and these good ones he cut down just as handily, just as 

 precisely as he did the easier ones. Page is a man of fine personal 

 appearance, with a keen blue eye, which, however, sparkles with 

 humor. 



The tie for third money, $100, was shot off as soon as the first 

 and second moneys were disposed of. The scores made were as 

 follows: 



W G Murphy 2313310222-9 P Daly, Jr 2021221023-8 



F Hoey 2222S02032-8 



Murphy capturing the cash and so saving his entrance money. 



The birds were a medium lot of flyers, very uneven in flight. A 

 contestant would get a half dozen easy ones, and then would come 

 a rasper. Naturally, it made the shooting more difficult than If 

 they had been either all good or all inferior. The flight of each 

 man's bird was as follows: 



Seaver Page had 1 circling bird. 2 direct straightaways, 15 do. 

 to left and 7 do. to right, 6 right and 4 left quarterers, 3 incomers, 

 8 do. to right and 5 do. to left. These the scored birds. 



Edgar G. Murphy had one circling kill, 3 direct straightaways, 

 11 do. to right and 13 do. to left, 7 right and 5 left quartering birds, 

 not one incomer, but 3 birds coming in and going to the right and 

 4 do. to the left hand. 



Walter G. Murphy's list of killed birds comprised 3 direct 

 straightaways. 17 do. to left, and 7 do. to right, 4 right and 6 left 

 quarterers, 3 straight incomers, 3 do. to right and 3 do. to left 

 hand. 



Fred Hoey's kills were on 3 circling birds, 8 straightaways 

 (direct), 8 to left and 9 to right, more or less straightaway, 3 right 

 and 7 left quarterers, 3 direct incomers, with 3 going to left and 3 

 to the right hand. 



W. C. Floyd Jones had in his lot of killed birds 2 circlers, 3 

 straightaway, 11 do. to left and 10 do. to right, 4 right and 8 left 

 quartei-ers, 1 incoming bird with 2 do. to left and 3 do. to right. 



Oakleigh Thome's lot consisted of I clrcler, 1 sfraiuhtaway, 12 do. 

 to left. 7 do. to right, 5 right and 5 left-quarterers, a single in- 

 comer, 6 do. to right and 2 do. to the left. 



Phil Daly, Jr., had in his f cored kills 3 straightaways, 15 do. to 

 left and 10 to right, 3 right and 9 left-quartering birds, 1 direct in- 

 comer. 2 do. to right and 3 to the left. 



Dr. "Wilson's" good shots wei-e on 4 ordinary birds to the right 

 and 3 do. to left, 3 precise straightaways. 13 do. going slightly to 

 the left, 6 do. to right, 8 lef t-quartereis, 1 straight incomer, 1 do. 

 to rieii t and 1 to the left, 



C. Fleischman's birds were as follows, 3 circling birds to the 

 right and 1 do. to the left. 5 straightaways to left. 6 do. to right. 1 

 direct, 3 right and 3 left-quarterers, 4 straight incomers, 8 do. to the 

 right and 3 do. to the left. 



Captain A. C. Money had in his list of kills 3 circling birds to 

 left, 1 to the right, 7 direct straiehtaways. 8 do. to the left and 6 

 do. to the right, 4 right and 5 left-quarterers, 1 incomer, 3 do. to 

 the right and 1 to the left. 



The race was finished exactly at 5:45, having taken five hours 

 and a quarter of steady shooting. 



NEW GUN CLUB.-New York, July Zl.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: In answer to inquiries concerning tbe proposed new gun 

 club, let me say that the regular match shooting of the club need 

 not necessarily be on Saturdays. When enough names are en- 

 rolled to start with, a meeting will be called and officers elected 

 and shooting days selected which will suit the majority. But we 

 believe the demand for a Saturday half holiday shoot sbould be 

 satisfied, and that a large number can be brought out most of the 

 year on that day. The target shooting should support the grounds, 

 and the dues should apply to furnishing each member with one 

 shoot each month at 10 live birds without extra cost to him. 

 Medals to be provided and valuable prizes occasionally offered to 

 keen alive interest. But I have made up my mind that a purely 

 public grounds can never pay, and that we bad better put up a 

 small sliooting box and an SOyds. fence and conclude to have our 

 fun in our own wuy and pay for it ourselves without seeking our 

 proflt from stuff we may sell the few outsiders who happen 

 around occasionally. Finally, this venture will not start unless 

 enough go into it to make it a success. Ten dollars from each 

 man ^vlU he the ante.— G. M. Hathaway (241 West 13ath street).
