Rig^ott again Defeats Class- 



The memories of Columbus and 1493 evidently took a strong 

 hold on the sportsmen of New York and New Jer-sey on Oct. 11, 

 as only a smalJ nuoaber of them appeared at Dexter Park, L. I,, 

 to witness the return match between Frank Class, of Morristown, 

 and John Riggott, of Bockaway. The day was a fine one for sport 

 albeit had the wind been stronger it would have been still better. 

 While the attendance was small there were still some noted 

 sportsmen present, among them being Dr. P. Jay, of Warrenville, 

 N. J. : Wm. S. Canon, of Newark, popular one-armed expert; J. 

 Coekefair. one of Bloomfield's enthusiasts; Harry Piper, J. Tnm- 

 minsandR. Hathaway, of Morristown; (ieo. S. Atwater, cycle 

 expert and target smasher; Jas. Baker, of Ridgetield ; Geo. Bald- 

 win, of St. Paul, Miun,: Miss Jennie Smith; of Morristown; Chas. 

 Hubbell, of Brooklyn; Jas. E. Wheaton and Chas. Hedden, of 

 Newark. 



The birds were a good lot of flyers, very few having to be flushed, 

 and even these few flying hard once they caught their wings. It 

 was 3:20 P. M. when the match began, Class being first to the 

 score. J, Coekefair was referee, C. A. Dellar scorer, and J. E. 

 Wheuton trap puller. The conditions were 100 live birds per man, 

 Hurlingham rules to govern, for a purse of f2.')0 a side. Both men 

 used 12-bore guns and stood at SOyds. rise. Both killed on the first 

 round. On tne second round Class got a fast right quartering 

 bird, and when he pulled his right trigger both barrels went off, 

 and he bad the j >y (?) of seeing the bird sail away to safety. 

 Riggott lost on the same round. Class had the same accident as 

 above on his iHth and 90th birds, although each of these was 

 killed. 



On the first quarter the score stood 24 for Riggott to 33 for Class- 

 on the half Class bad killed 48 to Riggott 's 44; on the third quarter 

 They were tied on OS kills each, and at the finish Riggott had 89 

 kills to Class'n 80. On the thiid 25 Class lost no less than 7 birds, 

 and some of them easy ones at that. During the race he lo«t one 

 and Riggott three dead out of bounds. Class's 89th bird was an 

 ugly twister, wh'ch he checked with his flrat and grassed with the 

 second. When BUly Mills tried to gather the bird, however, it 

 recovered and winged away over the fields. The score of the 

 shoot is shown in detail below:

Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 6— Herewith find scores made at our 

 tournaiEent on Oct. 5. The weather was chilly, and early in the 

 day we had a snow sqnall, and later it was cloudy with a strong 

 westerly wind, which caused the birds to take erratic flights. 

 Kingbird targets weie used. We had with us shooters from Syra- 

 cuse, Lyons, Williamson, Batavia, Brockport. Clyde, Marion, and 

 other places hereabouts. Charles H. Mowrv, of Syracuse, won 

 first average, by breaking 124 out of 130 or 95«i3 per cpnt. Second 

 average went to L. V, Byer, of Rochester, with 94813 per cent.; 

 third to W. C. Hadley, of Rochester, on 93>i3 per cent. Ryer made
