There is much to be said on lioth sides. To deal fairly with all ouglit 

 not to be a hard problem, bid, it looks vei^v much as it tt were. Tlu^

 chanues. 1 rap-slioottng is notlnnir more tlian a game. It one has the 

 required .skill (and luck witli hini occasionally) he stands a "show" of 

 .getting out even. 



tTnskilled and inexperienced persons cannot expect to win money in 

 «. shoot or in any game. It has been tried every day since the world 

 Taegan, but it won't work. If you want to shoot and there is no chance 

 ■of winning fand if j^ou do get in third hole you won't get but little, 

 *ot tsnongh to pay your entrance, as there are too many to divide 

 my advice is. shoot for price of bu-ds only — and you will be 

 miney in your pocket. 



Dropping for places is the greatest evil and wrong in my ej-^es. Let 

 'some lucky shooter devise a plan to stop and ovei'come it, and his 

 njame ydO be legion. B. M, H. 



live Birds at Beaville. 



~ Wm. Bbllis, of Eingoes, and A. L. Case, of Three Bridges, met at 

 Reaville, N. J., on Dec. 28 in a couple of matches at live birds, under 

 modified Hurlingham rules. The day was cold and windy and the 

 birds flew hard. Each match was at 10 hve birds for $15 a side, and the 

 Shooting was from --H. and T.'' tr.aps. The scores:

Then followed a match a 6 live birds each, for §5 a side, between .J.

Live Birds at Erb's. 



RAW, damp atmosphere, the mercury showing about 28^ above 

 zero, a cold northeast wind and a wlute mantle of snow on the gi-oimd. 

 while the air is tilled ivith a thick gray haze, are not combinations the 

 most favorable for trap shooting. The contrast between the dull gray 

 light and the white snow is extremely trying to the eyes. The above 

 conditions were what obtained on Dec. 29, when a goodly number of 

 enthusiastic live bird shooters traveled up Bloomfield avenue, Newark, 

 as far as Erb's famous "Old Stone House" grounds to take part in an 

 all day tournament. The start was announced for 10 A. M., but it was 

 close to 11 when any shooters atipeared, and near noon before the first 

 shot was fired. John Erb had everything in tip-top order for the 

 sport, and there were plenty of goori old birds at hand. 



Among the earlier arrivals were Allen Willey, editor of the Hartford 

 fConn.) ff/obe, who brought along a new aiid untried gun; Sainncl 

 Castle, the hardj- local veteran, who ai: over three-score years of .age 

 can keep the same hot pace as th:d he showed twenty or more years 

 ago; Ferd. Van Dyke, Von Lengerke & Detmold's most expert shoot- 

 ing representative, who brought along a combination of Francotte 

 gun, Schultze powder and a SIO greenback, with the remark that when 

 the talent had secm-ed the greenback he wotdd stop shooting; Harry 

 B. Smith, with a Greener gun and all moder n innovations in the 

 tvay of ammunition, etc., and Green Holhs, the carpenter-shooter, 

 who never misses an event on these grounds. Johnny Erb was also on 

 hand looking after the comfort of his guests and shooting a great clip 

 as well. 



A little later along came Lieut. -Col. R. H. Breintnall with his new 

 Smith ejector; Hugh Leddy, the jolly Montclair boniface and crack of 

 the Emerald Gun Club; Clias. M. Hedden, another local shot who has 

 passed the three-score mark without losing his early acquired skill: 

 Capt. Wm. Cramer, the seafaring sportsman, who always takes in a 

 shooting match ivhen his vessel is in port, whether it be at New York 

 or Norfollt, and who usuall.v gives a good account of himself; 'Wui. S. 

 Canon, Newark's celebrated insui'ance expert and one armed inai'ks- 

 nian; the great, inimitable and only "Dutchy" Smith, flowered bat and 

 all,' from Plalnfield, and the famous leader of the Des-chree-shos-ka 

 Kazoo band, Milton F. Lindsley, celebrated also for his American 

 wood powder. During the ftiy there were somewhere a.bout a hun 

 dred spectators on the gromul, several prominent sportsmen being in- 

 eluded. 



It was a few minutes betoi ,- v> o clock when the iu'st event was 

 called, this being an extra sweep at 5 live bu'ds, $>5 entry, two moneys. 

 Then came another extra event at lO live birds, SIO entry, with three 

 moneys, and a third one under the same conditions as the second. The 

 scores follow in detail:

It was intended that No. 6 should be at 15 birds, $15 entry, and that 

 this should be followed by another event at 6 birds, SiS entry. The 

 ■failing light, however, caused the cutting of No. 6 to 10 birds per man, 

 and when tliis was finished it was too dark for further sport, so the 

 shooters reluctantly quit the score. 



The shooters pronounced the shoot one of the most enjoyable they 

 had ever attended, there not being a jar to mar their pleasure. Sev- 

 eral expressed a wish for a repetition, and their wishes will probably he 

 complied with. 



It was noticeable that Ferd. Van Dyke's face took on a disappointed 

 (0 expression at his inabihty to lose the -SIC greenback mentioned 

 earl.v in this article. He shot in all the events, six in number, and got 

 44 out of 51 birds, seeuring a place in every event and pulUng out a 

 httle ahead. 



W. S. Canon was bothered on his start-in with a very light trigger- 

 pull on his right, a severe handicap for a man who has only one hand. 

 Later he shot with Captain Cramer's gun and did much beiterVork. 



Milt. Lindsley was awfully anxious to gi-ass his last bird in the final 

 sweep and hit it hard with both loads. It carried the weiglit to the 

 boundary, however, and fell dead as a mackerel less than a foot out- 

 side.

 John L. Brewer, in form and shooting to wm. is at least 3 birds better
