 Last week John Parker, the well-known -'Jack " of Detroit, and

The Hartford "Globe" Man Won. 



There are some trap-shooters who are averse to braving inclement 

 weather for the sake of shootmg live pigeons, and then agam there are 

 some who will allow nothing to mterteiv wit 1 1 Then- enjoyment of the 

 sport, and of the latter class several \eTitureil rn the --Ohl Stone 

 House ' of John Erb. on Thursday, .lau. |-.'. It was just the kind of a 

 day for i.me to i^Iaiire mit ot the window, nive a shivei- and go back to 

 theiireside and doze, smoke ami read, bur nevei-r Unless the scheduled 

 80-bird sweep took place, as did several minor events. 



All day long the thermometer remained at from .20 to ,25 above the 

 zero mark, and the bhndmg snow storm which began the night before 

 kept raging. The storm came from the northeast, the gale of wind 

 which accompanied it made it anything but jjleasant to remain out of 

 doors. The storm conung from the above direction caused the snow 

 to drive almost full m the face of the man at the score, ami when a 

 bird going to the left got away from the first barrel it was strongly a 

 i.natt<»r of chance, to get, him with tlie second. 



.Among the earliest arrivals at the grounds W(.>re Ifo-wland (ia,s()er. 

 who resides hi New York but puts In themostof histimeatEastport. I,. 

 I.; Allen Willey, of Hartford, Conn,, the trap-shooting editor of the 

 Globe of that place; John Leonard, Frank P. Class, Mrs, Class and 

 Frank Piper, all from the sacred precincts of Morristown; Samuel 

 Castle and Charles M. Hedden. of Newark, and Mr. Webb, business 

 manager of the Hartford Globe. Shortl.^- after 11 :30 the party left the 

 comfortable hotel sitting )-oom and plowed throi.igh the snow to the 

 shooting box to shoot a few ^rarmiug sweeps preliminary to the main 

 event of the day. There were two events at (i birds, .i?5 entry. In the 

 first the ties were divided. lu the second all killed straight and then 

 shot a mlsR-and-out to see who should take the mone^', less the cost of 

 the birds. Class got his Jonah on the (ifth rouud.'while Castle and 

 WUley kept on kUlmg until tenth round, when the,y decided to divide 

 the cash that was left. The .scores: 



No, 1. No. 2. Ties.

Class 101113—6 111232—6 12120 



Gasper 311922—6 



The birds used in the above sweeps were not of the best quality and 

 the killing, as a rule, could not be classed as a "stai- exhibition." 

 Immediately after the above tie was decided, however, an assorted 

 lot of birds'were brought out and a start was made 



IN THE BIG SWEEPSTAICE, 



the conditions of wliich were liO live bh-ds ix-r man. S50 entry, modified

 favorable John Erb. Samuel Castle anrl several others would have 

 entered, but under the conditions thev preterreil to act the part ot 

 spectators. In the drawing tor positions (lass drew to shoot first, 

 tollowed by Gasper ana Wdlev m order. Tlie race was a close one all 

 around for a time. Gasper bemg the first to miss, this being- on his 

 sixth round, when he had an ui>-iv twistmg incomer to the right. Wd- 

 ley lost Ins 8th. a verv tast twisting right-quart erer. ^\-hile (.lass went 

 right along killing until Ins loth round, when he. too. slipped up on a 

 twister tliat came ui to the l islil. Class had 23 kills to "W'Ulev s -22 and 

 Gasper's 19 at the end of thn tli-s[ halt, (kisper's l--.'rh and -^Ist, birds 

 falling dead out ot iiounds rlass had -a-'-eat luck on his 3d and 8d 

 birds. The first ot these was hit. althou£;h n.M daugerouslv. and n,

others killed, this putting Class and Willey a tie, and from thi.'^ on the 



race was a, hot one between these two. Class's sixth bird, a lightning 

 lef t-quarrerer, caught both barrels, but carried them to the fence and 

 iell dead ]ust over. His eighth was also hard hit. but managed to die 

 outside the boundary. Willey also caught one of those fancy zigzag- 

 gers I'll his eighth, and like a sensible man let it eo over tlie 'hills and 

 faraway; Class then proceeded to kill straight until his twentv-first 

 round, when he lost another right-driviue- zigza?L-er. and a fast one at 

 that. He tollowed up by having his ne.x't fall dead within a, foot of the 

 boundary, and Willev lost his twentv. second and twt-ntv-thirri liecause

All About Handicaps. 



New Havk.n. .Ian. 13. — ftv/)/(/r Avo-e.s-/ and >>fmiiii: ;\h handicapping 



of shooters seems to be the sul-qect now under discussion. I will say 



that the svstem advocated by " Fair Play ma recent issue of Forest 

 AND bXREAJi was pill t'l a practical test reeenrlv on the New Haven 

 club e-ronuds. Ttu- shootmg was at 26 yards rise. There were some 

 ot the shiioters w ho seru i-rt straight, but more that did not, your 

 humble servant bein-s one or the untortunates. It was decided by the 

 maioritv ot those present that at about 22 yards rise manv would 

 score straight, and that auv ordmarv shooter would not tad to get a 

 place 111 the dividends. The shooting can be unaer the rapid firing 

 svstem or one man up. anv number of known traijs and angles, any 

 number ot tarcets ten cents each, dividends fifteen cents each for

The Essex Gun Club Shoot. 



In the midst of the driving snow of Jan. 13 the members of the 

 Essex (iiin Chib. of Newark, N. J., held then- semi-annual shoot, 

 wdiicli w-as also the closing shoot for the fiscal year. The wind blew a 

 gale fi-om the northeast, and this, with the fine, cutting snow, made it 

 an uncomfortable day. Some members, however, were on hand as 

 earl.y as 10:30 A. M. and at noon there were a dozen on hand to do 

 justice to the excellent chowder provided by Mr, Heritage. Those 

 wlio Ijraved the elements were Messrs. Mackey, Louis Schorteineier, 

 F. (J. Moore. R. Walt(irs. S. George. Wm, Hayes. Asa Whitehead. 

 W. G, HoUis. W. K. Simpson, U. H. Breintiiall, G. L. li'reche and L. 

 Thomas. 



The birds shot at during the day were a hard lot of flyers and were 

 made still harder by the strousr -ndnd. But the members had their 

 shooting clothes on and of the 330 birds shot at during the day only 38 

 went over the boundary. To kill 88.13 per ceut. of good bird.s on .such 

 a day speaks well for the skill of the club members. 



The first two events •were sweepstakes at 10 birds each, K5 entry, 

 tln-ee moneys. No. 3 wsls the club prize shoot at 10 birds, this beiiig 

 also an open sweep, as a.bove, for those who chose to pay in $5. No. 4 

 was an open sweep, same a.s the first two. In the sweeps all stood at 

 80yds. In the club shoot Thomas and George shot at 28yds. and all 

 the others at 3Uvds. The scores: 



No. 1. No. 3. No. 3. No. 4.
