FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Nov. 24, 1892. 



Coney Island Bod and Gun, Club. 



The regular monthly shoot of the Coney Island Rod and 'Gun 

 -was rather poorly attended at Woodlawn Park, L. L, on Wednes- 

 day, Nov. lb, partly on account of the weather and some of the 

 members were away duck shooting. Eleven competed for the 

 TSppig diamond badge and extra club prizes at 7 birds each, club 

 handicap, modified Hurlingham rules. The rain had interfered 

 •with the birds at the start, but as the weather improved they got 

 awav a little faster. O. Detlefsen won the badge after out-shoot- 

 ing John Schlieman and Dr. Van Ord. The other prizes on the 

 tie were divided. The score:

Some Good Sport at Erb's. 



Thxtbsday, Nov. 17, was the day announced for an all-day tour- 

 nament at live birds on John Erb's "Old Stone House" grounds in 

 Newark, and on that day the weather bureau was in a good 

 humor so far as dealing out favorable conditions was concerned. 

 The sun shone clear and bright, and there was just the suspicion 

 «f a breeze from the east. Shooting was expected to begin at 10 

 A. M., and at that hour just a trio of shooters were on hand, so the 

 start WAS poBtpr>ned and it was well toward noon when the first 

 shot was fired. At this hour the trio had been strengthened by 

 ione more arrival. After one o'clock, however, the shooters began 

 to comn in until the entry lists showed nearly a dozen. 



The grounds were in good condition, Fred and Jimmy were full 

 ■of business and "Lsm," that setter who has received so many en- 

 comiums from visitors to these gi-ounds, was eager to get to work 

 at retrieving. Among those who were on hand during the dav 

 were "Uncle" Burt the veteran scorer of the Soutb Side Gun Club 

 who spends bis winters at his Newark home and his summers by 

 the shores of picturesque Hopatcong; J. Cockefair. of Bloomfleld; 

 Frank Class, R. Leonard, Frank Piper. R. S. Martin and Miss 

 Jennie Smitb, of Morristown; Eddy Collins, of Hoboken, who 

 deplores the fact that a lame shoulder prevents his shooting; Geo. 

 Baldwin, the St. Paul, Minn., veteran expert; Allen Willey, the 

 Connecticut shooter and journalist of Hartford; W. G. Hollis, of 

 Harrison; Richard Sunderman. of Bergen Point; A. W. DuBray, 

 with his 16-bore Pai-ker, and C. M. Hedden, Samuel Castle, John 

 Erb and Harry E. Smith, of the Newark Gan Club, besides seven 

 press representatives. 



The birds, previous to the coming of dusk, can be classed as a 

 good lot. Ill fact, up to 4 P. M. they were above the average. 

 After that, with the failing light and the growing moisture, they 

 did not fly so well. As a whole, however, they were good ones 



All the moneys were div. excepting first money in No. 5 event, 

 for which Erb, Du Bray, Willey, George, Sunderman, Hollis and 

 Smith tied. This was carried over and decided by the scores in 

 No. 6 event, when it was won by Du Bray, Willey, Hollis and 

 Smith. 



It was then intended to shoot a 25-bird event, $25 entry, but as 

 the majority preferred smaller sweeps, Nos. 7 and 8 were made 

 at 10 birds each, $10 entry, with 3 monevs in No. 7 and 3 moneys 

 in No. 8. No. 9 was at 4 birds, f3 entry, 2 moneys, and the final 

 shoot was a S3 miss-and-out, 1 money. The results:

On the eighth round of the miss-and-out event the light was 

 very dull, so Hollis and Castle decided to divide. 



During the day 384 birds were trapped and out of these 344 were 

 scored dead, this bein^ an average of 89.34 per cent. Erb killed 49 

 out of 51; DuBray (16-bore Parker at 26yds.), 36 out of 38; Smith 37 

 out of 38; Castle 33 out of 36; Willey 33 out of 34; Hollis 37 out of 

 40; George 41 out of 48; Class 35 out of 28; Hedden 13 out of 16; 

 Martin 32 out of 38; Sunderman 19 out of 37. 



Falcon Gun Club. 



This old Long Island gun club still adheres to the old-fasbionRd 

 Long Island rules at their regular monthly shoot which was held 

 at Dexter Park on Thursday, Nov. 17. Each man shot at 10 birds, 

 35yds. rise, from H and T traps, gun below the elbow until bird 

 is on the wing: if the second barrel is used in killing a bird only a 

 half bird is scored. J. H. Miller was the winner of the medal 

 after a close race with John Meyer and John Bohling, who also 

 killed 8 each, but used both barrels on 3 birds. The scores:

 opened on April 33 and closed Oct. 28. The leading averages dur- 

 ing the season are here shown, each man shooting at 35 targets at

Phoenix Gun Club. 



The members of the Phoenix Gun Club held their last shoot of 

 the season at Dexter ParK, L. I., on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Bight 

 of the ten men composing the club were present and shot at 15 

 birds each, 35yds. rise, from H and T traps. M. Brown carried ofiE 

 the honors with a score of 13. There were no prizes shot but just 

 for sport. The Phoenix is one of the oldest shooting organizations 

 on Long Island, and has some pretty old wing shots in the ranks, 

 the majority being over fifty years of age. The birds were good 

 strong flyers, although it bad b»en rainincr heavilv. Tbe scores:

This treatise is written for that numerous class of sportsmen who delight in a day's 

 shooting, but have neither the time nor the means to make the sport a life's study. Published 

 at a popular price, it will, it is hoped, reach manj' who have hitherto been deterred from 

 shooting, beheving it to be an expensive recreation. The author's aim is to induce all who 

 can to participate in a manly sport, and to advance the interests or those who can look to the 

 gun for pleasure, health or occupation. The book is not written for experts, nor for those 

 who have special opportunities for the acquisition of the art of shooting; and in order to 

 make it as attractive as possible to the general reader, many matters which would interest 

 the enthusiastic shot onljr haive been omitted.
