Coney Island A. C. Tournament. 



THE NEW TITHECHTS AGAIN WIN THE CUP. 



The third contest of the series in the Coney Island Athletic Club's 

 .tournament for the Kings county gun clubs' championship cup was 

 field yesterday at Woodlawn Park, Gravesend, L. I., under the auspices 

 of tLe New Utrecht Rod and Gun Club, the winners at the last shoot at 

 Dexter Park on Feb. 28. 



, All of the eight teams put in an appearance with five men on a team, 

 each shooting at 15 birds, modified Hurlingham rules. About 250 well- 

 known Long Island wing-shots were present to witness the sport, 

 although the day was unfavorable for comfort; it being very chilly, 

 ■with a strong easterly wind blowing across the grounds, making it 

 ■pretty hard for the shooter to stop fast right-quartering birds. 



Yesterday's shoot commenced at five minutes past 12, with the 

 Coney Island man, Ike Hyde, as a starter. He got a fast lot of birds, 

 and so did the others, the majority of them missing, some two or three 

 in the first five. During the second round the sun got a little higher 

 and the pleasant warmth seemed to make better shooting. There was 

 only thi-ee to make a clean score during the shoot— C. Plate and F. 

 Pfaender for the Coney Islands and O. Furgueson, Jr., for the New 

 Utrechts. The latter again proved to be the winners with a score of 

 62, the Vernons again coming second with 61 followed by the Coney 

 Islands with 60, Glenmores 59, Crescents 58, Parkway and North Side 

 54 each, and the Atlantic last with 50. The Atlantics at the commence- 

 ment of the shoot had a lead of 5 birds, but the substitution of Snap- 

 per Garrison in place of Frank Goodale proved disastrous to them, 

 •which, together with the other poor scores, placed them in the third 

 place. 



The young Vernon Gun Club again came to the front and getting 

 second place for the second time, they being now only seven birds be- 

 hind the Atlantics and gradually creeping up. 



seventh; Crescent,'l62, eighth. 



The nest shoot will be held at the Atlantic Rod and Gun Clvib 

 grounds. West End, Coney Island, on Tuesday, April 25, under the 

 auspices of the New Utrecht Rod and Gun Club. The scores: 

 Coney Island Rod and Gun Club. Glenmore Rod and Gun Club.

 testants making the highest aggregate scores in all of the above con- 

 tests except the first. In the nine events to qualify for the purse a 

 contestant had to shoot at 110 blue rocks. The names of the winners 

 and their totals are given herewith: Sanders, Albany, 93; Levengs- 

 ton, Saratoga, and Betts, Troy, 91; "Buck" (Coster), Saratoga, 90; 

 Taylor, Albany, 88: St. Charles, Albany, 85. Of the other contestants 

 who shot through the qualification events at 110 blue rocks, Hollis, 

 Albany, scoi-ed a total of 84; Stone, Albany, 83; Bancroft, Canajo- 

 harie, 78; Northrup, Johnstown, 73; Wadsworth and Willis, Albanj'^, 

 71; Leon, Albany, 65: Scharff, Canajoharie, 62. 



At the termination of the tenth contest, the last regular event of 

 the day, the visitors departed for their homes, but a half dozen 

 gunners wished to do some more shooting before the day closed, and 

 a 15-bird competition was agreed upon, to be shot under the difficult 

 conditions of known traps, but unknown angles of flight. No entrance 

 fees were required, as several pockets had been pretty well depleted 

 in the regular contests of the day. The general tumble experienced 

 by the shooters who attempted to shoot under expert rules at the 



hardest birds ever thrown at any league tournament can be clearly 

 se«n in the appended scores: St. Chai'les 11, Leon 10, Wadsworth 10, 

 Sanders 9, Geisel 8, Colloton 6. 



Falcon Gun Club. 



Only five members of the Falcon Gun Club entered for their regu- 

 lar monthly shoot at Dexter Park on Thursday, March 30. This club 

 still adheres to the old Long Island rules, H and T traps, gun below 

 the elbow, and if the second barrel is used to kill a bird to be scored 

 as half a bird. J. N, Meyer kUled 10 straight, but Jolm Bohling was 

 the winner with 9 killed, scoring 8. The scores:

 blue and gold, vest pocket size. New edition, price 25 cents. 



No notice taken of anonymous Gomraunlcations. 



T. J. C, Northampton.— The specimen is a young ring-necked snake 

 (lyiadophix punctatus). 



C. E. B., Schuyler ville, N. Y.— You may procure Mongolian pheas- 

 ants for breeding from E. B. Woodward, 174 Chambers street, New 

 York. 



P. C. B.— You will find names of responsible Chicago tackle dealers 

 in our advertising columns. Write to them and they will fit yout with 

 what is best suited. 



G. K. G., Blue Mountain Lake, N. Y.—WUl you inform me through 

 the columns of your paper, the opening of lake trout season. Ans. 

 The season will open on "trout of any kind" April 15, and on "salmon 

 trout" (lake trout) and landlocked salmon, May 1. 



W. T. S., Philadelphia.— Kindly give me the equivalents of 3, 334, 

 3}^, 3%, 4, 434, 414, 4% and 5drs. of Schultze powder in grains, as used 

 by the U. M. C. Co. Ans. The specific gravity of Schultze powder is 

 just one-half that of black powder; 84grs. of black powder equals 

 3drs. by measure, while it takes but 42grs. of Schultze to make the 

 .same bulk. Accordingly 3drs. of Schultze weighs 42grs. ; 334, 45grs. ; 

 33^, 48grs., etc. 



PiscATOR, New York.— The New York Herald says that in New York 

 State the trout season wiU open April 15, on Long Island and in Mon- 

 roe and Livingston counties April 1, and in Lake George May 1. Are 

 the dates correct? Ans. Yes, except as to Monroe and Livingston 

 counties, where the season will not ojjen before April 15, although in 

 one certain brook in these counties the date is April 1. For correct 

 digest of all the fish and game laws you should consult our Game 

 Laws in Brief. 



G. C. P., Harrison, Westchester County, N. Y.— As you are doubtless 

 frequently referred to for suggestions concerning the respective 

 merits of shotguns, would you kindly let me learn which you would 

 consider would give the best results, a 10 or 12-bore gun, both gtins 

 being of equal weight, •viz., 81bs., and the charges being 1340Z. No. 2 

 shot to 33.4drs. powder. I have an opportunity of obtaining the choicie 

 of either bore, with a view of using No. 4 and No. 2 shot, and would be 

 greatly obliged for any practical suggestions you may extend me in 

 making the selection. Ans. The load named is not one that is best 

 adapted for the lO-bore, and the 12-bore with this charge would give 

 better results, other conditions being equal. The question of bore is 

 one that must be left to the individual preferences of the sportsmaB, 

 but it is a fact that the 10-bore has lost most of the popularity it had 

 at one time in this country, and that the 12-bore is the standard size 

 for game and trap. For field or brush shooting a lighter weight gun 

 than that you have named would be found perfectly satisfactory and 

 much easier to handle.
