Live Birds in the Delaware Talley, 



MEOTiOsra live bird shoot to a Jerseyman and be will forego 

 his dinner for the sake of taking part. Incidentally a, few Jersey- 

 men got wind of the fact that Pome live birds were to be trapped 

 on Oct. 26-27 at Roxbury, a small village in the Pictnrpsque Dela- 

 ware Valley, and as a con8fqu<»nce when the initial e^ent was 

 called there were on hand such jolly Jerseym^n as "BilU'' Apgar, 

 the whole-«ouled bonifaca of J<>enchtown: Mablon Fox, "the 

 shooting blacksmith," and Ed Updegrove, formerly president of 

 the now defunct Mercer Gun Club, boch of Trenton; Miller Mow- 



whicb were in great demand after "Jim" had shot himself into 

 first place in several consecutive sweeps. Among the shooters 

 were also noticed Gporge Givens and ' Mack" of Easton, Pa. The 

 weather was favorable on both days and the birds a fair lot, very 

 few of thembavinK to be flnsbed. 



The onlv incident of note was the sliooting of a boy by one of 

 those parasites popularly known as a "bushwhacker." The 

 charge struck the bov in the face, but fortunately escaped his 

 eyes. It Is about time that this outside shooting i.s stopped, and 

 moastircs to stop it KhiuUd be taken by tournament managers. 



Below are the seoro" iu detail of the various events. On the 

 first day Nos. 1, ii and S were at 4 birds each, g3 entry; No. 4 at 8 

 birds, $8 entry, and No. 5 at 3 birds, $'2 entry. All the shooting 

 was tmder Ilurllugham rules;

 rill. E. P. Toomas and A. H. Ct,apmnn aie bard at work prepar- 

 ing for their live bird and artificial target tournament which is to 

 take place in this city Nov. 33, 24, 35 nnd 26. and Judging from the 

 amount of local interest 'hat is beirg manifpstt-d and the letters 

 of inqui'y they are receiving from all sectiors. It is eoing to be 

 ODe of the m'>8t successful meetings ever held in the West 



The tournament Is open to the world; no one handicapped or 

 barred. 



With the l«rge number of entries in proFpect and the $500 

 added by the managers, the purges in the live bird events ought to 

 range from $100 to 8500 each. An extra lot of birds have been 

 procured. They will be shot out of King traps. 



Inanimate taigeta will be shot from traps on one side of the 

 dub house where it will not interfere with the live bird matches. 

 U. S. tarsrets and Best's trap pull will be used. 



Tbls tournament opens the trap-shooting spason in this city, 

 and from then on the clubs in general will hold their regular 

 weekly shoots. There n re several matches with outride flubs in 

 prospect. The Milwaukee Field and Trap Assoc ntion expect to 

 soon try conclusions with clubs at Waukesha, Whitewater and 

 Janesv'lle, as well as settl*' matters bi-tween themselves and the 

 genial Fort Dearborn Gun Club, of Ciiicaeo, who defeated our 

 boys in 1 ne match and received » similar compl'ment in return. 

 We are all locking forwsrd with pleasure to the day the cham- 

 pionship will be determined. No doubt both clubs are confident 

 of winning. The result will be very interestine-
