FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Mabgh ^'6, 1898 



Miller and Bell Take First Money. 



There is one spot in Union county, N. J., where one can always de- 

 pend upon feeling a breeze, no matter what the season, and that is on 

 the shooting grounds of the Union Gun Olub at Springfleld. The 

 grounds are situated in a fertile valley at the foot of the Springfield 

 ridge of the Orange Mountains, and are so situated as to get all the 

 advantages of Ught and wind. The wind of all others that is favorable 

 to hve birds on these grounds is that which comes from the north- 

 west, which is nearly diagonally across No. 5 trap from tlie score line. 



It was on these grounds on Wednesday, March 15, -witli a, brisk north- 

 wester blowing, the air clear and crisp and under a bright sun, that 

 occurred one of the most interesting live bird contests that has oc- 

 curred on Jersey soil since the palmy days of the good old Middlesex 

 Gun Club. The contest .was at 25 hve pigeons per man, f SO entry, five 

 moneys. American Shooting Association rules to govern. "Tee Kay'' 

 Keller officiated as referee and the official scorer was Mr. Allen, of the 

 Myrtle Avenue Gun Club of Irvington. 



At 10 A. M., when the shoot began, there were on the hst E. D. Mil- 

 ler, Springfleld; W. Roberts and J. Frank Kleinz, Philadelphia; James 

 Wolstencroft and Wm. H. Wolstencroft, Frankford, Pa.; H. E. "Bell," 

 Royersford, Pa.; Samuel Castle. Newark; W. G. "HoUis," Harrison, 

 N. J ; W. "Allen," Hartford, Conn.; M. P. Lindsley, Hoboken, N. J.; 

 Frank Class, Morristown, N. J.; J. L. Smith, Hackettstown, N. J.; M. 

 W. Mowder, Netcong, N. J.; J. W. Hoffman, German Valley, N. J.; 

 "Dutchy" Smith, Plalnheld, N. J., and Mahlon Fox, Trenton, N. J. 

 Later on there entered Geoi-ge Cubberly, Long Branch, N. J. ; Thos. 

 W. Morfey. Paterson, N.J.; Charles Zwirlein, YardvUle, N. J.; Ed. 

 HiU, Trenton, N. J., and R. W. Sunderman, Bayonne, N.J. Among 

 the spectators were Frank Butler, Miss Annie Oakley's business man- 

 ager; Dr. J. W, Jackson, of MOlburn: R. W. Irwin, of Philadelphia; 

 Martin Roll, of Springfleld: John Leonard, of Morristown; Al. Heri- 

 age, of Jersey City; Mrs. Frank Class and Mrs. John Leonard, of Mor- 

 ristown. * , . „ , 



The birds were a mixed lot, some of them bemg flrst-class and some 

 fairly good, but the majority were .slow to take wing. As for cripples, 

 they were there aplenty, and for a large number of them the manage- 

 ment can place the blame on themselves for intrusting the trapping to 

 j^oung boys, who handled the birds with about as much gentleness as 

 they would a baseball. Plunging their hands into a basket or crate a 

 boy would make a "dash" for the birds and seize hold of the flrst one 

 with which his hand came in contact, and it mattered not to the boy 

 whether he seized tlie bhd by the head, tail, or one or both wings or 

 legs. The bird was pulled through the opening in a hap-hazard 

 fashion, regardless of the pain it suffered. Considering the naudling 

 the birds received and the manner in which they were pushed into the 

 traps it is wonderful that they flew at all. 



The contest was a warm one from the outset. Frank Class kept 

 pace with the clean score men until the 23d round, when he lost a 

 bird— an easy one at that— by a poor show of judgment and two mis- 

 pla-^ed charges. Zwirlein scored his first miss on the 12th round, 

 Morfey on his 10th, Cubberly on his 31st, J. L, Smith on his 10th and 

 Roberts on his 19th. The moneys were W>, $67, §53.50, |40 and $27.

A Bog-US "Little Sure Shot." 



New York, March 17.— Editor Forest and Stream: In justice to 

 Annie Oakley will you kindly publish this letter? AVhile going thi-ough 

 a dime museum a few days ago among the many cm-ios and freaks I 

 found a couple who wfll never starve for the want of a hard cheek. 

 One was posing as a long-haired cowboy and bad man from the West. 

 His companion was a woman who was posing as "Little Sm-e Shot." 

 The fact that she was about a foot taller than the original made no 

 difference to her. Now, in view of the fact that Miss Oaldey is so well 

 known it is not likely that many, if any, will be deceived by the imita- 

 tion; yet I wotdd be very sorry if any one shoifld think it was Annie 

 Oakley who was posing eleven hours daUy in a museum. So I ■will 

 consider it a favor if the shooters and shooting editors of the local 

 papers where this party may appear will kindlj^ mention the fact that 

 !t is not Annie Oakley, as she is engaged aU summer at the World's 

 Fair. In justice to the much misrepresented cowboy, permit me to 

 Bay I never saw a long-haired cowboy in the West. Although the 



museimis are full of long-haired cowboys, indeed I doubt very much 

 if the best-paying museum in America could take in money enough to 

 pay a genuine cowboy to sit and be stared at.

Live Birds at Bloomsburg. 



Bloomsburq, Pa., March 11.— The Bloomsburg Gim Club was obliged, 

 owing to a terrific downpour of rain, to declare the second day of its 

 tournament a dead letter, as none of the sportsmen cared to brave the 

 weather. The first day, devoted to hve birds, was an unquaUfled suc- 

 cess. Among those present were Messrs. Clayton of Tamaqua, Mills- 

 paugh and Hughes of Williamsport, El.y of WUkes Barre, Spice and

The Powder Test Challenge. 



In our issue of .Tan. 19 Mr. Justus von Lengerke challenged Mr. J. A, 

 R. Elliott to a test of the comparative merits of Sehultze and Amert 

 can wood powders by a competition at pigeon shooting. 



Feb. 3 Mr. Elliott declined the chaUeuge, and Mr. M. F. Lindsley, 

 the agent of the wood powder, proposed that Mr. Von Lengerke 

 should arrange with him for a scientific and practical test o£ the two 

 powders "for pressure, velocity, pattern and stringing of shot." He 

 wrote: 



"To make this test interesting, I will bet Mr. Von Lengerke $500 to 

 8250 that the American wood powder beats the Sehultze in the above 

 test, and I would further provide that the loser pay aU expenses of 

 same." 



Feb. 9 Mr. Von Lengerke accepted this challenge, sending the For- 

 est AND Stream his check for §350 to cover the acceptance, and 

 writing: "As soon as Mr. Lindsley has deposited his 5t>500, 1 shall be 

 willing to meet him at his own office to complete arrangements, 

 though he makes it a point to say that he is not wilUng to come to 

 mine, and I promise him that I shall not haggle over technicalities.'' 



We wrote to both parties, extending to them the use of one of tlie 

 Forest and Stream offices as a meeting point for the arrangement oC 

 details. 



Since the publication of Mr. Von Lengerke's letter of Feb. 9, we 

 have heard nothing fi'om Mr. Lindsley, nor has he put up the proposed 

 deposit of $.500 to make good his "challenge. Under these circum- 

 stances, six weeks having elapsed, we returned to Mr. Von Lengerke 

 his check, but he preferred to have us hold it longer, find has again 

 sent it to us. Thus the matter stands at present. 



New York German Gun Club. 



The members of the New York German Gun Club had a large 

 attendance of its members at Dexter Park on Wednesday, March 15. 

 Twenty-eight .shot at eight birds each for the club medal, modified 

 Long Island rules. C. Leonie and J. Goerlitz tied with seven each

Brewer and Fulford. 



Editor Forest and Stream : 



I have no interest in the controversy between the above named wel 

 known shooters, nor do I know what 31r. Fulford ma.y have written ti 

 Mr. Brewer about the quantity of shot he used in his matches witl 

 several of our New York amateiu's. However, having refereed th< 

 whole series of matches, I know that Mr. Fulford has only used th, 

 lawful V-io'i. of shot throughout. I esamiocd his cartridges each da.' 

 and have atiil some in my possession, taken out of his boxes promis 

 cuously. He certainly did not use Ij-goz. of shot and had no advan 

 tage in this respect. JtrsTUS von Lengbrke.
