Murphy Defeats Work. 



The cold weather on Nov. 32 did not deter sportsmen from visit- 

 ing the grounds of the Westminster Kennel Club at Babylon, 

 Long Island, to witness the shooting match between Edgar G. 

 Murphy and George Work. There was a gale blowing across the 

 traps and the light was very bad. The birds were a carefully 

 selected lot and were splendid flyers. The conditions were 3C0 

 birds per man, SOyds. rise, for $1,000 a side. The boundary was 

 about iOyns.. Tne match began at 10:20 A. M. and was ended a

Col. E. Harrison Stanford. 



RiFLBMiiN the country over will hear with regret that OoL E. 

 Harrison Sanford is dead. In the early years of Creedmoor he 

 was one of the most skillful of military shots and one of the most 

 enthusiastic in the ranks of the long range shooters. 



Of abundant means and leisure he brought to the modern rifle 

 world of this country, during its opening seasons, an intelligent 

 appreciation of the difflculties to be met and overcome in placing 

 American rifle shooting on the high plane it now oocapies. He 

 was an important figure in those days biitb on the range and in 

 the board of directors of the National Rifle Association. During 

 the winters Mr. Sanford enjoyed the sport of ice yachting on the 

 Stretches of the upper Hudson. Young in years, l3Ut experienced 

 in many lines of sport, the sudden death of Col. Sanford removes 

 a model sportsman from a very large circle of friends who ad- 

 mired his many high-minded qualities. 



The Forest and Stream Trophy. 



On Thanksgiving eve the Forest and Sxrkam Trophy, em- 

 blematic of the championsnip of New Jersey rifle clubs, was 

 formally presented to the Miller Rifle Club, of Hoboken. 



The occasion chosen for the presentation was the reception and 

 ball given the Miller Rifle Club by their sister association, the 

 Lady Miller Rifle Club. Mr. J. B. Burnham made the speech of 

 presentation in behalf of E'orest and Stream, and President 

 Dewey I'esponded tor the club. 



Alter the presentation dancing was indulged in to a late hour. 



Winter Rifle Shooting. 



.Tersev Cut, Nov. 21.— The Hudson Rifle Club has issued a 

 challenge to the Empire Rifle Club of New York City to shoot 

 a 5-men team match, best two out of three, each man firing 

 twenty (20) shots. First match on Hudson ranges, using the H. 

 R. C. American 25-ring target. Second on the Empire ranges, 

 ■using theE. R. C. target. Third on neutral grounds selected by 

 the club winning second match and using the standard 12-ring 

 target. It will be an entirely friendly afSair and will be the " ice- 

 breaking " of many a match with the rifle clubs around New 

 York, Jersey CiT.y. HoboHen and other nearby towns. 



Mr. Chas. E. Bird, the secretary of the Hudson Rifle Club, has 

 issued a ohallense to Mr. E. Fisher, of the Miller Rifle Club, of 

 Hoboken, to a series of 100-shot matches, best two out of three, 

 ior » nieijijl or trophy, said matches to he in three consecutiA''e 



weeks. There is no doubt that this will be a very interesting con- 

 test, as both men have plenty of " grit " to stand the stram. 

 Three different ranges will be used during the contest, and some 

 hieh scores are looked for from both of these gentlemen. 



Next week the Eagle will give some of his views on " How Bine 

 Shooting may be Revived," in answer to that question in the 

 issue of Nov. 11. Now that th° ball has started let some of the 

 old riflemen give their vinws sml let this winter bring forth more 

 enthusiasm in rifle shooting than ever it has been before.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



A G. Courtney, an excellent photograph of; whom appears here- 

 with, is immensely popular among gun men and shooters all over the 

 country, and since his reappearance in the field as salesman for the 

 Lefever Arms Comp-qny, of Syracuse, N. Y , he has been given a 

 royal welcome. "Court" has the happy gift of being able to agree 

 with everybody on any subject, and this makes| and retains the 



a. (i. COUKTNLV. 



frieadship of all with whom he comes in contact. He is now in the 

 National Capital, from where he will soon start South, taking in all 

 the shooting towns until he reaches Jacksonville, Fla.. where he ex- 

 pects to be during the Jacksonville Gun Club tournament After that 

 he will strike across the country and take in everything as far as 

 Texas. He will not return home until February. He says the new 

 Lefever ejector hjis proved itself the best in the world and wUl soon 

 crowd out all Its competitors. 



We have received a very pleasant letter from Roger Van Gilder, of 

 the ilnosviJle (Tenn.) Gun Club, who states that programmes for 

 the May shoot will be out early in 1893. The club will use two sets 

 of 5 traps each and experts will shoot trom known traps and 

 unknown angles in all events, the North handicap being applied to 

 all others. FwU details are not yet settled, but the main programme 

 will probably comprise 10 events each day, each at 20 targets, $:3 

 entrance, with $30 added in each event, purses to be divided into 5 

 moneys. There will be special prizes for the best five scores each 

 day and heavy prizes for the best averages in all events for the 

 three days. The club is also considering the feasibility of.running a 

 team match, each team to comprise 5 men from any regularly organ- 

 ized club, each man to shoot at 60 targets (20 each day), entrance S30 

 per team, the Knoxville Gun Club to add SltO to the purse, the teams 

 making the highest aggregate number of breaks during the three 

 days to be declared the winners. The club wlU also attempt to 

 secure from the sporting goods houses throughout the country a 

 trophy to go to the team winning first place. This should draw a 

 big crowd. In all the club will add $300 on each the first and second 

 days and $400 the third day. 



Baltimore, Md., Nov. 25.— The Standard IGun Club held its an- 

 nual shoot at Actos's Park yesterday afternoon. The cold weather

PoRTLANo. Ore., Nov. 13.— For some time past the sportsmen of 

 Portland and vicinity have felt the need of an organization that wiU 

 afford better protection to the ganie in this part of the State, and 

 this feeling has taken the shape of a movement among the sports- 

 men of the city to reorganize the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club, 

 with the obo'pct of promoting legitimate sport and protecting the 

 game. The old club is at present rejiresented in the Pacific Coast 

 League by a massive gold medal valued at $3.50. Prominent among 

 those who have avowed their intention of becoming charter mem- 

 bers of the club are S. A. Green, D. P. Cartwright, Sherman D. 

 Brown, Charles Herrell, George Clark, Robert Townsend, Robert 

 Inman, C. E. Hughes, W. A. Storey, H. T. Hudson, James F. Caraher, 

 Charles Starr, Fi-ed. Henion and others. Such an organization in 

 this city would have great influence in putting a check on the indis- 

 criminate slaughter of game. 



The ninth shoot for the Teipel medal took place at Teipel's Park, 

 Covington, Ky., on Nov. 10, with seventeen entries. The conditions 

 were ten live birds per man. Keiser and Condell tied cm 10 each and 

 shot off, miss-and-out, Keiser winning on the third round. The

Several Altoona sportsmen went out to the Juniata ball grounds 

 on Thanksgiving Day and passed a few hom-s trying for honors in a 

 contest at ten live birds each. The day was intensely cold, the 

 ground was covered with and tne air full of snow, while a brisk wind 

 blowing away from the shooters caused the birds, once on the wing, 

 to fly fast and far. The result was that the boys were obliged to 

 shoot straight and quick or be content with "goose eggs." The score 

 is shown below, tne shooting being under Hurlingham rules:

The Oommonu-ealth of Covington, Ky., says : "The Forest ano 

 Stream, a journal with a spicy Trap and Trigger column, wonders if 

 there is a gun club in America that could put forth ten men to cem- 

 pete with the same number of men from the Newark, N. J., Gun 

 Club. The Commomvealth will say that there is a gun club in Cov- 

 ington at present that can not only compete with, but can beat any 

 len men now in a gun club, not only in Newark, but in any section of 

 the country. If the Newark Gun Club don't beheve it let them come 

 on to Kentucky and her boys wi'l show them that this statement is 

 correct and can be backed up by facing the trap," 



Waukbgan, 111.. Nov. 24, — The Bachelor Club gave its second trap 

 shooting contest to-day, open to all amateurs of the coimtry. Con- 

 testants were not as numerous as was expected. Each was allowed 

 ten clay pigeons. The first prize, worth $20, was won by William 

 Dunnill, of Fox Lake, who scored 9; second prize, $10, by 0. Hoff- 

 mann, of W^aukegan. score, 8; third prize C. Kilpatrick, Wankegan; 

 fourth prize, C. J. Spencer, Highland Park. The winner of the first 

 priza also scores for the $151) presentation prize.which has to be won 

 three times. KUpati'ick and Dtmnill have now each scored once for 

 this prize. 



At the Union Gun Club's first day the total amount of entrance 

 money in the ten regular events was $13.50. Those who shot through 

 and the amounts they won were as follows: Hobart $12.46; Smith 

 $10.32; Miller $10.14; Drake $9.44. Beside this Hobart received $1 

 and Smith and Miller $3 each as average money. Sigler shot in seven 

 events, paid in $8 and drew out $7,68. This leaves each man a loser 

 by the following sums: Hobart 4 cents; Smith $1.28; Miller $1.36; 

 Drake $4.06 and Sigler 33 cents. But oh, what a lot of fun for the 

 money ! 



The Coney Island Athletic Club propo.=!es to offer an engraved gold 

 cup, emblematic of the team championships of Kings County, N. Y. 

 Every club of amateur shooters in the count}' will be invited to con- 

 tend for the prize. The conditions under which the cup will be shot 

 for are as follows: Each team to consist of five men, and each man 

 to shoot at fifteen live birds; one shoot to be held each month for 

 seven consecutive months, commencing in January, 1893, and the 

 team winning it most times wiU be presented with the prize as its 

 personal property.
