Algonquin vs. Union Hill. 



Having received a cordial invitation by membeJ's of the Union Hill 

 Gun Club to visit their new si'ounds at Guttenbers on the 33d inst., I 

 found myself after a 50 minutes' horsecar ride In the rain at the hos- 

 teh-y of genial bouiface P. Sullivan, contiguous to the grounds. We 

 have had occasion before this to speak in favorable terms of the TJ. 

 H. G. 0. and its jolly members. It is one- of the few clubs that hold in 

 true sportsman horror the atrociou.s gambling rules of Hurlmgham 

 (modifled or otherwise). They believe in standing at the score erect 

 hke gentlemen, with the gun held in a natural position below the 

 elbow, as sportsmen do in the field until the bird is on the wing. Tliis 

 style of shooting makes field and brush shooters — ^the other, never, but 

 the contrary. 



The capacious room soon filled up, men in rubber coats and boots, 

 with gun case and shell box tumbluig out from every car. We were 

 pleased to recognize and renew acquaintances with those true kniglits 

 of the trigger of years ago; Dr. Oris wold, J. P. Robertson, L. Bren- 

 ner, F. G. Rinu and other old members of the Algonquin G. C. of 

 Weehawken. Several hot brushes did the old Jersey Gitj^ Heights G. 

 C. in her palmy days have with this redoubtable elula. 



Alas for the glory of the J. C. H. G. C, She sleepeth soundly and 

 profoundly. Will old South Paw ever wake her up? She has still on 

 her muster roll names that in times past made her record so illustri- 

 ous. Old Rehable Nos. 1 and 3 (t. e., Uncle Billy Hughes and Uncle 

 Billy Sieger), Drs. Bm'dett, Cumnn'ns and Yerrington, J. J. Maher, L. 

 Pahner and others. How long will it remain in its present state of 

 innocuous desuetude, as it were? 



We soon ascertained the meaning of this great gathering. It was a 

 return friendly match for the bu'ds and a good time between these two 

 clubs, IJ. H. G. C. and Algonquin, 10 men a side, 10 birds each man, 

 Long Island rules (i. e., U. H. G. 0. rules) to govern, with exception 

 of the handicap, which, we regret, we did not get in full. 



After a few of the usual preliminaries so necessarj' before undertak- 

 ing any great or vital contest, the crowd proceeded to the club grounds 

 but a short distance from the hotel and just south of the race ti-ack. 

 The grounds are inclosed, with an ample club house with its necessary 

 Interior arrangements for the convenience of guns and gunners, but 

 with a very meagre platform in front, altogether too small for a rainy 

 day, especially of the equinoctial variety. The strings to the five traps 

 are as yet above ground and unconcealed, but later on, we under- 

 stand, this live club proposes r,o have all the modern conveniences. 



The match was called promptly on time, though the rain kept up 

 its cold drizzle and drove in the faces of the shooters almost to the 

 end of the match, but what cared these boys for that, they were out 

 for sport. Your correspondent having been very politely requested 

 to act as referee, faced the storm, J. J. Maher acting as trap-puUer; 

 the names of the scorers for each club we did not get. The bu'ds, 

 under the circumstances, were a good lot and some magnificent kills 

 were made by members of both clubs. But as is often the case, the 

 unexpected happened and some of the poorest work was done by the 

 best shooters, notably of the U. H. G. C. 



T. Lancake succeeded in grassing but 5 birds, when he was counted 

 on for 10 straight; Sulhvan only 6 instead of 9 or 10; J. Berkery lost 

 one from not having his gun cocked. And Waller— good-natured Wal- 

 ler, he of the rosy hue and laughing eye— what an extraordinary run 

 of ill-luck followed him fi'om the first— drivers and snipe twisters 

 throughout, and many of these hard hit— considered good for at least 

 8 out of 10 birds Cat one shoot we attended there he killed his 10 

 straight), this time but 3 were gathered to Ids credit. 



His second bird di'opped just inside of the fence to the left of the 

 traps, to all appearances dead, but upon the dog approachuig the spot 

 the bird was thi'own over the fence from the ontsiae by a boy. Some 

 .said afterward that the bird crawled through a hole in the fence. 

 Others intimated that the boy puUed it through fi om the outside. 

 What was the referee to decide? The bird had evidently been outside 

 the boundary, how or by what means the referee could not tell. He 

 called lost bird; was he right? Or should he beheve the boy did pull 

 pull it through, give the shooter the benefit of the doubt and call no 

 bird? It made little difference in the result of the match, for the 

 Indians were in good form, in full paint, and out-shot the Unions from 



the start. The following is the score: 

 Algonquin.

The second day opened up very pleasant and the grounds soon began 

 to take on a lively appearance. The shooting was begun on targets at 

 the end of the grand stand, while the live bird traps were being ar- 

 ranged in the center of the ground or directly in front of the grand 

 stand. The grounds are perfectly level and nicely situated for shoot- 

 ing targets or five birds. 



Among the visitors on this day were Mercer, Boone, Armstrong and 

 Bonham, of Bloojnsburg, Pa.; Spicer, of DanvUle; Buck waiter and 

 Johnson, of Royersford; R. T. Clayton, of Tamaqua; B. Clayton, of 

 Plymouth; McHenry, of Cambria; Evans, of Ashley; Eley, of Kings- 

 ston; Marsh, of Scran ton; Wells, of Wyal using. Pa., and a large crowd

No. 4, 5 Uve birds, had nineteen entries and Buckwalter, Warren, 

 Pete, McHenry and Armstrong killed five each. As an enterprising re- 

 porter of one of the local papers borrowed the score paper to make a 

 copy and faded to return it we are unable to give balance of scores. 



The event of the day was the match between H. E. Buckwalter of 

 Royersford, Pa., champion of the State, and Thos. Eley, of Kingston, 

 Pa. Each shot at 50 Uve birds, American Shooting Association rules, 

 for §200 a side. 



Nearly 500 people paid admission to the grounds and fuUy 600 were 

 present. It has been several years since a match of this kind has 

 taken place here and it caused considerable excitement among sports 

 men. The scores are not very .high, but the birds were a fine lot 

 of selected birds for this match, and there was not a "duffer" or "no 

 bird" called during the match, and some were very "screamers." 

 Odds were offered on Eley from the start, but few takers. Buckwalter 

 lost the first 3 birds he shot, as they were undoubtedly a little faster 

 than he was used to shooting at, but he then settled down and out of 

 the next 47 missed but 2 birds, 5 others falling dead out of bounds.

Judge for Eley, E. H. Kniskern. Judge for Buckwalter, R. T. Clay- 

 ton. Referee, Dick Nyce. 



Buckwalter used a 12-gauge Parker gun with 3}4drs. American wood 

 powder, lygoz. No. 7. Eley used a Wilkesbarre gun, 12-gauge, loaded 

 with 3}4drs. E. C. powder, IJ-^oz. No. 7 shot, both barrels. Each used 

 the second barrel 22 times, and some of Eley's kUls with the second bar- 

 rel were remarkable. Buckwalter made many friends by his gentle- 

 manly conduct, and his shooting such a neryj^, uphill race placed him 

 somewhat higher in the estimation of many of tae shooters. Eley was 

 not satisfied with the result, and another match may be looked for. 

 He is an old time pigeon shot, and was at one time one of the best in 

 the country, but he was undoubtedly "not in form" in this match. 



Tin's tournament wUl have the effect of forming a strong club here, 

 as this city has had no gun club in several years. An association wiU 

 be formed, suitable grounds selected and a strong team placed in the 

 field for the next State shoot. W. Barbb. 



Van Dyke Wins First at Yardville. 



The early hours of Wednesday, March 23, were decidedly heavy, the 

 clouds being dank and heavy and looldng as though rain might faU at 

 any moment. jUong about 10:30, however, the sun peeped through, 

 and until about 1 P. M. the weather conditions were good. About that 

 hour the sun disappeared once more and a disagi-eeable drizzle began 

 which lasted for a couple of hours. It was the disappointing look of 

 the clouds previous to 9 A. M., however, which frightened a number of 

 sportsmen of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and prompted them to 

 pass the day at business instead of raih-oading to YardvUle, N. J., to 

 participate in the Uve bird sweep arranged by that weU known expert 

 Chas. Zwu-lein. ' 



Despite the above drawbacks the shoot took place, and with a suf- 

 ficient number of entries to make it an interestmg and hotly con- 

 tested affair. Among the entries were Col. A. R. Kuser of Trenton 

 who is a member of the staff of Gov. Werts of New Jersey, and who is 

 one of the best military shots in the State; the great and only 

 "Dutchy" Smith of Plainfield, one of the crack feather rufflers and 

 saucer breakers of the Independent Gun Club; Ferd. Van Dyke, the 

 thin young man who is doing such fine work at the traps as "the rep- 

 resentative of Von Lengerke & Detmold of New York; Mahlon Fox 

 "the shooting blacksmith" of Trenton; Thos. W. Morfey, boniface and 

 shooting expert of Paterson; Ed. and J. HUl, well known Trenton ex- 

 perts at botn trap and field work; Geo. Cubberly, one of the shooting 

 famUy of Long Branch; E. O. Johnston, anoth«r Trenton man ; Charley 

 „ . , . , -rxr TT.a , • . n-om- 



Derts, 



, . . . were ex- 

 pected btit they failed to appear. 



The birds were a fine lot of flyers, a very small number only having 

 to be flushed, and these going well once they caught theh- wing^ 

 Some of them were as fast and erratic in flight as any that ever left a 

 trap, as evidenced by the fact that no clean scores are shown. Van 

 Dyke capturing first money alone with 33 kiUs: second money went to 

 Geo. Cubberly on 22, while Hoffman pocketed third on 21. The shoot 

 was a big success and wiU be repeated in the near future. Below are 

 the detailed scores, the conditions being 25 Uve birds per man, §20 en- 

 try, thi-ee moneys, Hurlingham rules governing:

Van Dyke's 32d bird was filled with shot, but stUl managed to go out- 

 side to die. Hoffman's 23d was also hai'd hit, but after falUng just 

 inside the boundary managed to wriggle over the Une, giving bim a 

 dead out of bounds. Zwirlein became disgusted after having three 

 consecutive birds f aU dead out of bounds, and he withdrew. 



New Utrecht Rod and Gtm Club. 



The regular monthly shoot of the New Utrecht Rod and Gun Club 

 was held on Saturday, March 23, at Woodlawn Park, Gravesend, L. L 

 The principal event was the contest for the Uve bird trophy, a hand- 

 some diamond badge, at 10 birds each, Hurlingham rules, the best 

 scores to count at close of the season. Five scored 10 straight and 

 divided first prize; W. F. Sykes with 9 took the second and G. Cropsey 

 with 8 the third. .Some lively sweepstakes foUowed. The scores:

The Tournament at Erb's. 



The Uve bird tournament scheduled for March 23, cannot be classed 

 as a howhng success so far as the attendance was concerned, and yet 

 it was a big success when it is considered that in a driving rain over 

 300 birds were trapped between 2:20 and 5:.S0 P. M.. and that during 

 that time only five shooters were on the ground at any one time. The 

 day was a miserable one from anypomt of view, the rain not letting 

 up or an instant and there being just enough chiU in the air to malce 

 every one feel uncomfortable. The birds put up by John Brb were a 

 fine lot, flying hard even on this day, and what they woidd have done 

 on a clear, crisp day can only be surmised. 



Those who braved the elements to have some sport were Samuel 

 Castle, Lieut.-Col. R. H. Breintnall and W. S. Cullen, of Newark; J. 

 W. Hoffman, of German VaUey: W. G. HolUs, of Harrison, and W. S. 

 Pierson, of Plainfield. The opening event was a .fl miss and out,. Che 

 original programme, being abandoned under the circumstances. Thfe 

 result is here shown: 



Pierson 11110 Castle 0 



Hoffman 12312 



Then came a series of 6 bird sweeps, £5 entry, 2 moneys in each. 

 There were eleven of these, the moneys in ten being divided, the ex- 

 ception being in No. 1, when CuUen and Hoffman shot off miss and out 

 for second money. The detaUed scores:

Then came a miss-and-out on entirely nev/ lipes. The entry was $1 

 and a man who missed before kiUing three consecutive birds was en- 

 titled to re-enter. Once a man got down three straight, however, and 

 then missed he was out of the race. The score:
