 age. H. McMurehy made one rtin of 48 straight, which was re- 

 markable shooting (expert rules) considering the way the targets 

 were thrown. Neat Apgar made 90 per cent, the last day, beating 

 the amateur average, which is the second time 90 per cent, has 

 been made by the experts, W. Wolstencrof t making 93 per cent, 

 at Saratoga. Standard Keystone traps and targets were used and 

 gave the best of satisfaction. John Parker. 



ROCHESTER ROD AND GUN CLUB. 



Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 38.— The concluding matches of the first 

 annual tournament of the Rochester Rod and Gun Club were con- 

 tested to-day on the club grounds. The shooting was begun at 9:30 

 o'clock in the morning and was continued until sunset. Five 

 traps were kept busy nearly all day by the large gathering of 

 sportsmen. The weather was favorable for the shooting, but it 

 was rathar chilly and the marksmen, while waiting- for their 

 matches to be called, found the shelter of the new club house very 

 comfortable. The shooting can be watched from the building, 

 there being a row of large windows across the frott of the 

 structure. 



There were 13 entries in the first contest; 15 Peoria birds were 

 shot at: Peck 15, McVean 11, Mann 13, Bver 10, Fulton 9, F. L

 in which there were 20 or less contestants, four purses were 

 offered. Besides the money prizes, a number of valuable articles 

 were presented to the winners ot the dift'erent classes of Ihe fourth 

 contest. 



CAMDEN, Del., Oct 28.— Messrs. Cleaver, Evans and Terry's 

 tournament was quite a success, although they were disap- 

 pointed in the number of shooters, as a great many that had 

 promised to come failed to put in an appearance. The shooting 

 as a general thing was poor. Mr. H. David, of Philadelphia, being 

 the only one to make a straight score the whole day. No one 

 could account for the poor scores. The shooting started promptly 

 at 1 o'clock. The winners were: No. 1. 5 birds, Thurman first, 

 Landis. Hock and Evans second. No. 3, 10 birds, Landis first, 

 Thurman second, Evans third. No. 3, 10 birds, Landis first, Thur-

OMAHA, Neh., Oct. 24. -The Omaha Gun Club's annual banquet 

 was given at Mauer's this evening and was of course a royal affair. 

 The expense of the affair was provided for on the previous Satur- 

 day by a shoot, in which the losing side won the privilege of de- 

 fraying the same. The losers were W. D. Townsend, Frank E. 

 Parmalee, H. B. Kennedy, George Darrow, Howard Gray, 

 "Stock" Heth and J, A. McDongal. 



ELLIOTT-GEO. KLEINMAN. 



Chicago, III., Oct. 30.— A $25 Prize Machine gun, 60, 40 and 30 

 and 10 off, some rude, harsh pigeons, a few "gobs" of plain black 

 Deartshoi powder, and Br'er Gawge Kleinman. of Chicago, to-day 

 again made life an anguished dream for Col. J. A. R. Elliott, ot 

 Kansas City, "champion" of America on the tin cup system. 



Jim Elliott has been trying for some time to step on the tail of 

 Chicago's coat, although Chicago hasn't been trailing any coat in 

 particular. A good many didn't want Jim to come up here any 

 more, for he was due to win and was shooting well. The majority 

 of Chicago shooters, however, are unshaken in their hellef in 

 Bi'er Gawge, and to-day saw their faith fully justified. This 

 makes the third censecutive time that the latter has defeated 

 Elliott, and meantime Br'er Abe has also defeated him once, and 

 Jack Brewer has done him up three times. This shows about 

 how much thpre is in a "championship" sometimes. To-day El- 

 liott said, "I give it up. I can't beat this m!An." At the close of 

 the race he ofifered to bet $1,000 +0 $750 that he could beat Genrge 

 in Kftnsas City. ' I've got youl" said a Chicago man, and forth- 

 witn produced a bundle of stationery to that efliect. Elliott 

 didn't want it then. "Now I'll bet yon $1,000 to $700 that George 

 can beat you again here next Monday." Elliott didn't want that 

 either. Elliott has been unfortunate here and fortunate at Kan- 

 sas City. I should hate to hack any one against him on his own 

 grounds at Kansas City, but after this he can break Chicago if he 

 can beat George Kleinman here. 



The match this afternon was for $2.50 a sidw, 100 live pigeons, 

 American rules. Mr. R. O. Heik* s was referee, Mr. W, P. Mussey 

 ofiicial scorer. The birds were remarkable. Probably 200 better 

 were never trapped between the two seas. A higli wind made 

 the shooting yet more difficult. Each man did brilliant work. 

 George missed 4 easy birds, incomers, and got the hard ones. His 

 score under the circumstances was probably the hest one he ever 

 shot, as the conditions were of unusual difficulty. Elliott shot 

 his Greener and New York load. George, as above stated, hung 

 to his old cheap rattletrap of a gun, using Abe's Sehultz.'i shells in 

 the rieht and the customary Kleinman handful of Deadshot in 

 the left. The man who wants to go up against this long and 

 quiet figure, bow thin, though once almost gigantic, and this old 

 gun which has given us all so much fun in the description, would 

 better think spriouslv several times before he makes up his deci- 

 sion to that effect. Br'er Gawge would be very likely to rub the 

 gilt and varnish off from a whole lot of fine guns and fine 

 shooters who have ideas crosswise in their heads. 



The race could not he called especially exciting, for it was not 

 close. After the 37th bird Jim was not in it, and txeorge drew fur- 

 ther ahead at each round of 30. The f ollov/ing is the detailed and 

 descriptive score:

At the close of the festivities Br'er Qawga quietly picked up his 

 Prize Machine gun, and he and Br'er Abe got into the hist' ric old 

 buggy, drawn by the same historic, melancholy horse, and with 

 the boodle under the seat swaying one side of the buggy down a 

 good deal, drove oft' in slow procession for the home by the shores 

 of Calumet, where they learned how to shoot ere yet the day of 

 champions was young. Br'er Gawge and Br'er Abe, the gun, the 

 buggy, the same old horse, the mournful ride home with the 

 boodle— all these may well be stereotyped, because Jim may come 

 up here again. Don't you do it, Jimmle dear. Stay home. " Don't 

 pester any more. E. Hough. 



At the conclusion of the Kleinmau-EUiott race, a match was 

 announced and immediately commenced between Mr. C. 8 

 Bahney, of Kansas City, and Mr. J. L. Wilcox, of Chicago. The 

 conditions of the race were, .50 live birds each man, tor $100 a side, 

 American Shooting Association rulfs, the loser to pay for the 

 birds. In this, as in the previous match, Mr. R. O. Heikes was 

 chosen referee, and. at the request of Mr. Elliott, I acted as scorer. 

 The birds were a fair lot, though, as compared with those Elliott 

 and Kleinman shot, they seemed duffers. Both men appeared 

 nervous and shot in poor form, although Wilcox made one credit- 

 able run of 16. At tne finish Bahney went completely to pieces, 

 only scoring 4 out of his last 10 birds. Wilcox was also in poor 

 form, but out of his last 10 succeeded in scoring 7, and pulling out 

 with a tie score a match that he should have lost by a half-dozen 

 birds. Following is the detailed score:
