THE DAYTON KENNEL CLUB ANNUAL. 



Dayton, O.. Oct. 5— Members of the Dayton Kennel tiun Club 

 and their families made a picnic of The annual live-bird tourney 

 by turning out in fall force, gentlemen, ladies and children, for a 

 day in tbe grove adioining the shooting grounds on David Sliroy- 

 er's fa,rm a abort diataiice south of the club kennels. Sparrow 

 and pigeon traps had been set, string boundaries tixed, chairs and 

 tables provided for referee, scorers, sUootPrs and reporters; and 

 tents, chairs and refreshment stands conveniently located for all 

 before 8:30 o'clock this morning. Cool water and mild beverages 

 were furnished by the club free for members and spectators, and 

 cold lunch for shooters. Family parties enjoyed dinner from 

 their own baskets in picnic style through the woods. At 8 A. M. 

 Adolph Sander, who was the projector of the plan for this tour- 

 ney, arrived on the grounrt with provisions, wet goods, ammuni- 

 tion and birds. Afew moments later a sharp bugle blast signaled 

 the coming of a large wagon, four-in-hand, carrying membors. 

 then until noon carriages and buggies were arriving with families 

 and other visitors. Dayton h^^s lieen famous as a shooting center 

 and this -was the climax nf a ll her tra.p events. 



Ir is true that to Adolph Sander is due the credit for inception 

 and enr ouragement of the proposition that grew in^o this splendid 

 affair. The active workers in it were Adolph Sander, E. F. Cooper, 

 Gustav Sander, E. B. Weston. Dr. D. G. Porter, T. iS. Haunch and

 committee of arrangements, and T. B. Hanna secretary; E. F. 

 Cooper and E. B. We^^ton, committoB on programme; and Messrs. 

 Weston, Cooper and Hanna committee on rules. 



The scheme took lilje wildfire. All of the 75 members of the 

 Kennel Club became interested, and this drew wives, sweethearts 

 and friends into the excitement. Business men of the city took 

 hold of it and began offering special prizes, until so many came 

 in that a committee Avas appointed to classifv the four or live 

 hundrt d pieces, valued at f 750. Probate Judge Kreitzer presenled 

 a marriage license with blank spaces left for name of bride and 

 groom. 



The programme to-day provided for six sparrow matcbps. 15 

 prizes in each, 15 sparrows to eacli man, 6 traps, 26yds. rise, 50yds. 

 string boundary, a bird touching the ground within the boundary 

 to be scored dead. Each shooter to pay for his own birds. The 

 committee paid 3c. to 5 •. each for sparrows, and the shooter paid 

 10c. each. The pigeons were hougnt here at 30c. a pair, and the 

 shooler was charged 40c. At the shoot the sparrow traps, made 

 of wood by S^le Good, were 4in. square, opening at the top like a 

 gripsack. Pigeons were shot; from scoop traps. 

 _There were 3.200 sparrows and 400 pigeons in the coops when the

BROOKLYN SHOOTERS. 



Oct. 7.— Three doctors were in'the final ties for the Duryea cup at 

 the Fountain Gun Club shoot at Woodlawn Park to-da"y, besides 

 "Snapper" Garrison and two others. Two of the doctors. Sheila 

 and Schwartz, made a great fight for the cup. All killed their 10 

 straight in the regular shoot, and it was left to the two doctors to 

 flght it out. Bird after bird was killed until each had totaled 12 

 straight. Dr. Shells killed his thirteenth bird, but Dr. Schwartz 

 was unfortunate enough to lose his, although it dropped dead 

 just out of bounds. This is the second time that Dr. Shells has 

 won the cup. One of the features of the shoot was the fine per- 

 formance of Mrs. F. Lindsley, who after missing her first bird, 

 killed the other 9 straight. 



About two months ago R. Pfister, Jr., W. C. Levins, of the Glen- 

 more Rod and Gun Club, and J. Blake, of the Parkway Rod and 

 Gun Club, made a match to shoot a series of four shoots at 15 

 hirds each, Hurlingham Titles, SOvds. rise, for a silver pitcher to 

 cost. $100. To-day the last two shoots took place at Dexter Park. 

 In the tirst shoot R. Pflster, Jr., killed 13, RIake 1+ and Levins 13. 

 In the second shoot R. Pfister killed lo. Blake 9 and Levins 15, 

 Yesterday the total scores for the 30 birds each were: W. C. 

 Lay.ns 38, J. Blake 34. and R. Pfister, Jr., 26. This made the 

 total on the four shoots, R. Pfister, Jr., 54, W. C. Levins 50, J. 

 Blake 47.

 Dexter Park to-day.

 for the club medal and extra prizes at Dexter Park. L. I. The 

 hirda were strong, fast flyers aaid sppie o£ them ca-rried consider- 



able quantity of shot out of bounds. The 'club has ret?Bntly 

 adopted a new rule of using both barrels, making a slightly 

 tnoditied adaptation of the Hurlineham rules. The difference is 

 that the gun must be held below the elbow until the bird is oti the 

 wine. The scores were as follows: I. Hvde 7, J. Bovd 3, H. Ran- 

 kin 5, .7. Akhnrst 6, E. Vroonie 4, W. Skidmore 6, H. Knfbel, Sr. 5,

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Oct. ll.-The South Side Gun Club 

 of this place proposes holding a tournament at club grounds 

 (Baxter baseball ground?), upon Thanksgiving Day, an all-day 

 shoot, five traps, rapid firing system, no handicaps, and no one 

 barred out. Upon this day the new shooting house will be dedi- 

 cated with appropriate ceremonies. Circulars mailed upon appli- 

 cation. All are invited and a general good time expected.— E. H.

THE NEW JERSEY TRAP LEAGUE. 



AIMEETING of delegates representing the Trap Shoofj^rs' 

 League of Essex county was held Oct. 10 at the store of Von 

 Lengerke & Detmold to wind un the affairs of the recent tourna- 

 ment. The secretary reported S37 50 on hand. Out of this amount 

 be was authorized to pay the Mnplewood and South Side Gun 

 clubs amounts sulncient to buy the prizes won bv them. His re- 

 port showed that the league had been a surcess throughout, and 

 the resnlts of the shoots had been satisfactory to all the clubs in- 

 terested. The dclfgates resolved that aa soon as the secretary had 

 wound up the business affairs the league should disband. 



The delegates at once reconvenod and on motion of Wm. R. 

 Hobart thev informally organized an association to be known as 

 the Trap Shooters' L°ague of Northern New Jersey. Cha-.. W. 

 Brown was elected chairman, Peter Gsntz, recording secretary 

 and treasurer, and C. H. Townsend, corresponding secretary. It 

 was resolved t'^ op^n the rolls to aU clubs in Essex, Hudson, Ber- 

 gen, AVarren, Morris, Sussex and Passaic conntiee. The corres- 

 ponding secretary was in=<tructed to corre=pond with all clubs in 

 the above counties, requ6=5ti2g them to affiliate with the league, 

 and to call a meeting of delegates to perfect the organizations aa 

 soon aa he receives favorable replies from the clubs. 



The above counties can muster in all about forty-five active 

 clubs, and it is confidently expected that at least two-thirds of ' 

 these will join. The Maplewood, South Side. Woodsidf and Rose- 

 ville Gun clubs are already mfmbers. The East Side Mutuals, of 

 this citv; East Orange and Endeavor, rf Jersey City, will surely 

 join at once. 



The scheme is to hold a monthly team contest on the grounds of 

 each club that joins the league, and at the same time to have 

 several contests for members. The teams will comprise five men 

 each instead of six, a.« in the Essex County League. Valuable 

 prizes will bo nffprpd l)y the league in both team and individual 

 contests, besides which manufacturers and dealers in this section 

 may also contribute prizes. Each club joining the league will pay 

 $3 as an initiation fee, and will also pay annual dues of ten 

 cents for each member on its roll. A prize fund for the purchase 

 of the principal prizes will be contributed by the clubs. 



The scheme is a popular one and is bound to give a big boom to 

 the sport of trap-shooting in this section of the State and will 

 eventually lead to the f ormtaion of a league to comprise every 

 club in the State, and the arrangement of a series of matches 

 between county teams for the State championship. 



CHICAGO SHOTS. 



CHICAGO. Oct.18.— Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, writes 

 Mr. R. B. Organ, of this city, seeking a match with the Klein- 

 mans, or any body else. Mr. Organ has replied that he is not 

 now negotiating such matches, and must refer Mr. Elliott to the 

 said Kleinmans. Mr. Elliott says the Kansas City boys wouldlike 

 to shoot the retu''n match with Chicago in November. I do not 

 think Chicago will shoot earlier than midwinter. No prettier 

 shooting pvents ever transpired than these inter-urban matches, 

 and we all hope to see the third and decisive race shot here.
