Maplewoods and Independents Tie. 



The seventh montlily slioot of the New Jersey T'-ap Shooters' 

 League, which was held on the grnunda of I he New Jersey Shoot- 

 ing Club, at Claremont, oa Satarday, July 33, reminded one of the 

 old-time tournament days when Claremont was in the Jerney 

 circuit and when the tonrnarafints there used to draw such well- 

 known experts as Budd, Courtney, McMtirchy, Heikes, Whit- 

 ney, Albee, Mosher, Luther, Kleinz, Brewer, Osrter, J E. Miller, 

 McAlpin, Skinner and dozens of others of like ilk. Those were 

 the days when a man banded out his rash and took his ohances 

 on an even mark with all others and never thought of calling a 

 winrer a "shark." The opening shoot on these grounds was on 

 Oct.yS to 26, 1888, the first two days being at Keystones and the last 

 two days at live pigeons. On the first day was seen the first exhi- 

 bition for this section of the working of the Keystone rapid-firing 

 system, with which the Jersey men at once fell in love. The man- 

 agement of the grounds was at that time in the hantls of the New 

 York Suburban Shooting Grounds Association, of which Charles 

 Richards was president. The grouuds are situated on the main 

 line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey about seven minutes' 

 ride from the ferry. The grounds have a fi'ontage of (iOOft. on the 

 railroad, and run back 530ct. along Caven Point road on the east 

 and 500ft. along the canal on the west, being narrowed down to 

 IJOOft. in width at the northern boundary along Pacific avenue. 

 At the junction of the railroad and Caven Point road is a station 

 where all except express trains stop. After nmuing the grounds 

 with varying fortime for some time the old association ceased to 

 exist and about a year ago they came into the possession of the 

 New Jersey Shooting Club, the majority of the original members 

 of the club having been members of the shooting contingent of 

 the New Jersey Athletic Club of Bergen Point. The original 

 club house still remain* but the "grand stand" which was on thfi 

 roof has been removed. Othervyige the building presents the 

 same old appearance, txcept that it is considerably weather- 

 beaten. 



On the day of the League shoot it was fearfully hot on the 

 shooting side of the building where the sun poured down in mei- 

 cilessiashion on the heads of the enthusiasts. Here what little 

 air one could catch felt ns though it blew through a furnace. Oa 

 the railroad side of the house, where there is a 3ft. verandah, 

 there was a decided change for the better, it being shady and 

 cool. The interior of the bou^e was lilte an oyen. 



The shoot was fairly well attended, there being nine clubs rep- 

 resented in the team match. Altogether, in the sweepstake 

 events 50 shooters took a hand, although the highest number of 

 entries in any one event was 33. The traps were in position at 

 8:30, but it was considerably before a crowd gathered. The prime 

 hustlers in the affair were Messrs. Moore, Virden and Richmond. 

 The team match was supervised by Neaf Apear and W. R. Ho- 

 bart. The shooting was from Straps, under the rapid-firing sys- 

 tem. Two sets of traps were in use. The shooting was not kept 

 up at as lively a rate as would have been the case on a cooler 

 day, but nevertheless a fair number of targets were thrown, the 

 aggregate being close to 5,000. With the facilities at hand and a 

 dav when the shooters were not in fear of being converted into 

 grease spots these grounds should readily get away with 10,000 in 

 a day's shoot. 



In connection with this shoot there is just cause for complaint 

 by the newspaper men. as n^t a single sweepstake score was kept, 

 in duplicate, nor was suy effort made to see that duplicates were 

 furnished. The majority of clui)s when running a tournament 

 seem to take it for granted that newt p iper representatives have 

 nothing to do but sit down and copy scores, nor, seeming to think 

 that their employers may object to paying men for what is really 

 the work of a boy. As has before been stated, clubs are ever 

 ready to avail themselves of the use of the columns of the sport- 

 ing press in order to advertise their shoots and attract a crowd, 

 this advertising being cheerfully given them. Once they get the 

 crowd on their grounds, however, the usefulness of the papers is 

 supposed to he ended. This is not as it should be. Carbon paper 

 costs but 50 cents per dozen sheets and every club should have a 

 supply on hand m order that duplicates may be made of all 

 scores shot. It reo[uires as much work to make one as four 

 copies. One good turn deserves another, and if the papers accord 

 free pufflQg the cltibs should reciprocate by famishing nlainly 

 written duplicates of all scores. The team seores at the League 

 shoots are always made in duplicate. 



It was 3 P. M. when the team shoot was called, and during this 

 contest W. R Hohart and Al. Heritage acted as referees; Wm. 

 Sigler and W. S. Simpson being the ofhcial scorers, The condi- 

 tions were five men to a team, 25 targets per man. Thecluhs 

 entered were the Passaic City Gun Club, of Passaic; Woodslde 

 Gun Club, of Newark; Boilins: Springs Pish and Gun Cluh. of 

 Rutherford; South Side Gun Cub, of Newark; Independent Gun 

 Club, of Plainfield; East Side-Mutual Gun Club, of Newark; Ma- 

 plewood Gun Club, of Maplewood; New Jersey Shooting Club, of 

 Claremont, and the East Orange Gun Club, of Harrison. Each 

 club was supposed to have out a rattling good team, and some 

 sharp work was expected. When the contest closed it was touud 

 that the Manlewood and Independent teams had tied for first 

 honors on 110 breaks each, the South Sides snoring 103 and the 

 New Jersey Shooting Clut) 103. In five out of six previous con- 

 tests the Independent team had won first place alone. E. D. 

 Miller, Independent, was high man, with 24; Soper, Independent, 

 Deam, Sicklev, and Drake, Maplewood; Phillips, South Sidt; 

 Purdy, New Jersey; Post, Boiling Springs, and T. Dukes, East 

 Orange, making 33 each. It is very rarely that a party of this 

 caliber gets together without some clean Foores being recorded. 

 The tie in the team match was not stiot off nor la it likely to be, 

 as the Independents have already won first place, and the shoot- 

 ing-off of tne tie cannot benefit the Maplewoods. Below are de- 

 tailed scores of the team contest:

Shooting at Hyde's Park. 



The I ndependent Gun Club, of Plainfield, N. J., had splendid 

 weather for its tournament, held at Hyde's Park, on July 21 and 

 33. While the sun was hot on the opening day, a pleasant breeze 

 came over the mountains. The grounds were in elegant shape 

 and the arrangement of the traps, etc., was satisfactory to all. 

 Under the shade of the big trees "Dutchy" Smith served nn 

 appetizing chowder and fixings, to which full justice was done. 



The attendance on the opening day while not as large as was 

 anticipated was still heavy enough to make a very interesting 

 affair. Among the shooters was Hon, J. Lewis Bumgardner, of 

 the Penrose Gun Club, of Staunton, Va., who was recently elected 

 commonwealth attorney of Augusta county and who has been 

 recuperating at Long Branch, N. J., for a couple of weeks; Harry 

 Hartlove and Charles Fehrenbaoh, of the Wilmington (Del.) Gun 

 Club; P. R. Bissell, of Chicagn, 111.; W. Fred Quimbv, Charles M. 

 Hedden and Ferd Van Dyke, of Newark; Eddy Collins, of West 

 Hoboken; R M. Manning, of the North Side ^un Club, of Mas- 

 petb, L. I.; E. D. Miller, of Springfield; and '-Uncle Billy" Sigler. 

 of Montclair. 



"Tee Kay" Keller and "Dutchy" Smith played the part of chief 

 hustlers during the day and managed to keep everbody in a jovial 

 humor as usual. The great and only Sam Wilbur ofliciaied in 

 his old-time style at the cashier's window. All the shooting was 

 at bluerock targets thrown from bluerock traps, one set of five 

 and one set of three traps being used. All purses were divided 

 into 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Targets were charged for at the 

 rate of three cen's each and half a cent was deducted for each 

 target thrown for the purpose of creating a fund to be awarded 

 at the close of the day to those making the first to fifth best aver- 

 ages in order in the known angle events. The programme was as 

 follows: No. 1, 10 bluerocks, $1 entry; No. 3. 10 bluerocks, $1 e'^- 

 try; No. 3, 15 bluerocks. $1-50 entry; No. 4, 15 bluerocks, il..50

 entry; No. 11, 15 bluerocks, $1.^,0 entry; No. 12, 15 bluerocks, $l.oO

 system, known angles; the others were shot from known trap'i at 

 known angles. Below is a tabulated account of the da^'s work;

Williamsport Rifle and Gun Club. 



WxLLiAMSPORT, Pa., July 16.— Our club has been quite inactive 

 this summer, many of our members having been absent on busi- 

 ness, some away to the resorts, etc., and our regular shooting days 

 have found but a few of the boys present. Live birds always call 

 out the hoys, how«ver. if they are in town, so I quietly collected a 

 couple of hundred birds and on Thursday last notified all whom 1 

 knew were in town that we would have our regular club shoot on 

 Friday afternoon, at inanimate and live birds. The day was 

 rather too warm for comfort, but a fair turnout was present to 

 eojoy the sport, and a lively shoot we had. We first tackled the 

 inanimates, just to get our guns warmed up, with the following 

 i-esuPs:

Many were anxious for the live-bird events, so at them we went, 

 p ud a lively lot of birds wo had, in fact I never saw a better lot of 

 flyers for this season of the year; out of 190 trapped only three or 

 four refused tiight; the moment the trap was sprung. They 

 astonished many, as some of the goose eggs will attest.
