 more (T\Id.) Gun Club will be held at Tolchester Beach, on Chesapeake 

 Bay one hour's ride by palace steamer from Baltimore on June 36

 Baltimore, and is reached by steamer which leaves Baltimore at 8 

 A. M. and 1 P. M. each day. fare for round trip aOcts. A good hotel is 

 on the grounds, and shooters wiU be well taken care of there. 



FoUowing the annual outing of the Buckwheat Club at the Teriy 

 Farm on June 13,'-Tee Kay" Keller worked off an impromptu oration, 

 the sum and substance of which was that Union county should have 

 a real club for the shooting of Uve pigeons. His suggestion seemed 

 to "catch on" with all the shooters present, andin a remarkably short 

 space of time there had been organized the CUmax Gun Club of Union 

 county, N. J. Atter the preliminaries had been concluded the follow- 

 ing were elected a board of directors: Renna B. Manning, August 

 Trust, Daniel Terry, John Darby and Wm. L. Force. Later the board 

 of du-ectors elected the following oflicers: President, Daniel Terry; 

 Vice-President, R. B. Manning; Secretary, W. L. Force; Treasurer, A. 

 Trust. The president then aijpointed as a commitree on shooting: 

 Charles Smith, Thos. Brantingliam and Wm. Terry. The committee's 

 powers are to select shooting grounds, arrange dates for shooting and 

 to pro perly handicap the members . An initiation fee of S2 will be re- 

 quired from each member and there will be no dues. The initiation 

 fees will be used for the purchase of prizes. T. H. Keller was ap- 

 pointed a committee to file papers of incorporation with the Secretary 

 of State. Grounds have ah-eady been secured within fire minutes' 

 walk of the Fanwood depot. The Climax Club comprises some 

 of the best material in the State, the prime movers in its organ- 

 ization having been the most energetic members of the former 

 Middlesex Gun Club, which in its days was the strongest and most 

 popular club in the country. The club will be a hvely one and will 

 soon be heard from in the way of a big tournament. 



We have before us an unique epistle, a production of the fertile 

 brain of Wm, R, (better known as Billie) Fieles, the weU known col- 

 lector of antique furniture, blooded dogs, fancy.ponltry, keeper of a 



high-crade hotel at Christiana. Pa., said epistle informing us in a sort 

 of hybrid Pennsylvania English that on Sept. 86, 27, 23 and 29 the Har- 

 risburg Shooting Association will hold what they propose shall be 

 the most successful shoot held in this section during the yea.r. The 

 association have the refusal of a IS-acre inclosed ground, perfectly 

 level, with a flue bnckground. They will get out a novelty m the way 

 of a programme, copies of which will in due season be sent to all 

 shooters who send their name and address to H. M. F. Worden, Har- 

 risburg, Pa. This wlil be the annual tournament of the Pennsylvania 

 State Sportsmen's Association rthough one would never infer so 

 from the tenor of Bil-lie"s letter ) and it goes without the saying that 

 the interests of the State sport sinen will not suffer when intrusted to 

 the Harrisburg boys. Billy intimates that there will be several novel 

 feattires introduced, details to be announced later. The shooters 

 will probablr be tendoeed a banquet on the evening of Sept. 29, with 

 Governor Pattei-.'^ou as a guest. The events wiU run from 20 to 25 

 targets, with •?-2.b()to $5 entrance fees, and everything wUI he arranged 

 to make the aft'aii- run smoothlv. 



The following excerpt from a Plainfield (N. J.) exchange of June 13 

 will be of interest: "The yparly shoot at inanimate targets and live 

 bu-ds by the Buckwheat Club, of Fanwood township, took place yes- 

 terdav on the grounds of Dan Terry, near Alton, on the Rahway road 

 from Plainfield. At least sixty persons were present from Plainfield, 

 Ehzabeth and the surrounding country. The shoot was held in an 

 open field near the ancient house of Mr. Terry, and aU the arrange- 

 ments were in first-class shape. There are no more hospitable people 

 in that section of the country than the Terrys, and right royally did 

 the old gentleman and his stalwai-t sons, Dan, WUI and Scott, enter- 

 tain their guests. A large contingent of shooters attended from Ehza- 

 beth, some being crack shots and others amateurs, who heartily en- 

 joyed the occasion. Two teams were pitted against one another, of 16 

 men each to shoot at 15 bluerocks a man ; and at the finish it was de- 

 cided a tie by the referee. The German barber of Somerset street was 

 present and made the occasion a hilarious one by his humorous say- 

 ings and efforts to hit the targets with black powder and no shot in 

 his cartridges." 



■ We have just received a pleasant letter from Col. J. T. Anthony, 

 captain of the Charlotte (N. C.) Gun CHub, and among other matters 

 our attention is caUed to a couple of errors which occurred in om- re- 

 port of the Knoxville shoot. Firstly, we stated that the score showed 

 the Coltunbus and Knoxville teams to have tied on 83 breaks each in 

 the club championship event shot on the third day. The Columbus 

 team's correct score was. 86 breaks, the team of the Charlotte Gun 

 Club being a good second with 84 breaks. If Col. Anthony had seen 

 otu- score sheets of this event he would not blame us for the above 

 error. Of course, first prize went to Columbus and second prize to 

 Charlotte. The other error concerns the winners of the averages on 

 the third day. We credited RoUo Heikes and C, Smith with dividing 

 fifth average monev on 141 breaks each out of 160 targets shot at, 

 whereas it was Col, Anthony and not the Plainfield Dutchman who 

 tied and divided Heikes, These corrections are cheerfully made, as 

 we desire at all times to give credit where it is due. 



"Toronto, .Tune 8,— A large number of the trap shooters of the 

 Province assembled at the Toroni;o Gun Club rooms last night to con- 

 sider a proposal to organize. As a result of the meeting the Ontario 



tawa; Third Vice-President, D, G, Riveh, Windsor; Secretary-Treas- 

 urer, P. Wakefield, Toronto. Jimction; Executive Committee, D, Blea, 

 Owls; S, W. McGiU, Victoria; J. W. Bowman, HamUton; W. D. Wal- 

 ton, Toronto Junction; T. N.Williamson, Orangeville; M. D. Campbell, 

 Oshawa. The executive committee were instructed to draft a consti- 

 tution and by-laws to be submitted at a subsequent meeting and to ar- 

 range a trophy competition for next year." 



On Thursday, July 6, beginning at 10 A. M., there will be a grand 

 open-to the- world sweepstake at 20 Uve pigeons, 820 entry, 72yds. 

 boimdary, to be shot at Williard's Park. Paterson, N. J., imder the 

 management jointly of Thos. W. Morfey, the well-known Paterson ex- 

 pert, and C. H. Towsend, of Forest Axh Stream. There wiU be 600 

 birds on hand, of as good quaUty as can be procured, and it is hoped 

 that New York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania shooter will turn out in 

 strong numbers. This will" be the first open contest at live birds ever 

 held in Paterson, and it is certain to attract enough spectators to fill 

 the grand stand. Don't forget the date, July 6, nor the time, 10 A, M, 

 WiUiard's Park is reached by the White electric cars from either the 

 Erie or D, L. & W, depots, 1 ou wfil have a good time if you attend. 



Detroit, Mich.. June 16.— The day following the close of the Manu- 

 facturers' Trap Shooting Association's tournament at St. Louis, Mo., 

 July 6 and 7. there wUl be live bird shooting all day. J. E. Hagerty 

 writes that he wiU have 3,500 good live birds on hand. A large attend, 

 ance is already insured, as a number of Chicago, Kansas City and In- 

 diana shooters have announced their intentions of being there. The 

 fifth tournament of the association wUl take place at Wheeling, W. 

 Va., Aug. 3 and 3. and as in aU the preceding ones, S200 will be added. 

 The sixth tournament wiU take place at AUentown, Pa., Sept. 13 and 

 13.— John Parser. Manager. 



The Oneida County Sportsmen's Association v.nl\ engineer the State 

 shoot in 1894, and at this early hour we beg to suggest to them that 

 they annotmce in every day, uncontrovertible English that the shoot 

 will be managed by the management and not by the visitors, and that 

 when the management decides to shoot a certain event on a certain 

 set of traps they wiU not alter their decision to suit any mimber of 

 chronic liickers. Another good thing to do would be to close the 

 entries in an event when it is about half finished and not oblige the 

 cashier to figure his cash three or four times on each event. 



At a meeting of the North End Shooting Club, of Indianapohs, Ind., 

 held June 5, the following gentlemen were elected ofQcers for the en- 

 suing year: President, H. S. Humphrey; Vice-President, G. M. San- 

 born; Secretai-y and Treasurer, Charles E. Field; Field Captain, Dr. J. 

 M. Martin.— Chas. E. Field, Secretary and Treasurer. 



We have received a neatly printed annoxmcement in effect that on 

 each Wednesday afternoon during the season there wfll be an open-to- 

 all shoot held on Beck's Rye Beach Field, beginning at 2 P. M. The 

 field will be reserved for private matches or club shoots when re- 

 quested and when desired special birds will be secured. 



NoRRisTOWK. June 17.— At the annual meeting of the Penn Gun 

 Club, of Norristown, Pa., held June 12, the following officers were 

 elected for the ensuing year: President, Geo. H. Kerper ; Vice-Presi-

 day, July 11, There will be open sweepstake shooting all day, and the 

 Stcite team race will begin at 3 P. M. 



1£ you attend the Tolchester Beach Shoot of the Baltimore Gun Club 

 be sure and time yourself so as to reach Baltimore at 12 noon or not 

 later than 7 A. M. This will give you time to I'each the wharf in time 

 to catch the boat at 1 P. M. or 8 A.M.

 E, d: Miller. Wm, Sigler, Ferd. Van Dyke, Charles Smith, Neaf Apgar 

 and T. H. EeUer. 



John A. Hartner will hold an open to all target tournament at

New London, Conn., June li.— Editor Forest and Stream: Owing to 

 the dates claimed for the annual tournament of the Connecticut Trap- 

 Shooting Association faUing on the days that the intercollegiate boat 

 races are held here, it has been decided to postpone the shoot, as it is 

 absolutely impossible to obtain hotel accommodation for visiting 

 sportsmen during Chat week, " Jas. W. Clintok. 



Kalamazoo Trap-Shooting Club's Tournament. 



The annual tournament of this club was set for June 14 and 15 and 

 programmes were issued to this effect. The prmcipal feature of the 

 programme was that no one was barred and no handicap was to be 

 used in any of the events. The club had reasonable expectations of a 

 fair attendance, .seeing as its members had attended about every shoot 

 in Michigan for the past five or six years, but they were doomed to 

 disappointment, as the attendance was slim. 



Why there were not more shooters present is not because trap- 

 shooting is dying out in Michigan, nor that no handicap was used, but 

 because shooters do not like to come to Kalamazoo for some reason 

 or other. Maybe they were afraid, maybe not; but any way if that 

 farce in trap-shooting called the Michigan system, which originated 

 here and of which the shooters got their full at the Lansing shoot, had 

 not given them a poor idea of Kalamazoo in general, then there might 

 have been a successful turnout. However, every city has its rise and 

 fall in matters of sport, it's like the see-saw game, now you are up and 

 now you are down, but we won't be down but a little whUe before we 

 are up again.

A Norfolk Skyrocket Match. 



Norfolk, Va., .Tune 4,— While strolling down the street here to-day 

 attending to business my attention was called to a sign on a wagon 

 reading, "Pigeon Match at Driving Park to-day for $500." I immedi- 

 ately went in search of one of the shooting fraternity to learn some- 

 thing regarding the match and was informed that Wm. Hurst, of 

 Portsmouth, Va., who recentlv issued a challenge to shoot any ama- 

 teur in the State a match at 100 live birds, 30yds. rise, for ^250, had 

 been matched against Neaf Apgar for S250 a side. At the gi-ounds I 

 found a number of well known shots, among them Wm. Wolstencroft. 

 After a sweepstake shoot the match began. I was surprised at the 

 quality of the birds.. They were as fine a lot of birds as one could find 

 in the United States. Most of them got away hke a skyrocket. Mr. 

 Apgar made some very pretty shots, one being his fiftieth bird, going 

 to right quarter, which he stopped with second barrel just inside of 

 boundary. Mr. Jos, Bellinger, one of Norfolk's crack shots, acted as 

 referee. Below are the scores:

In reporting the Knoxville shoot why did you fail to mention that 

 my crowd, five men, won the second prize in the team shoot, killing 

 84'out of 100. It was a beautiful prize, a fine game set. J. L. Fonda. 



Maplewood's Badge. 



The monthly badge shoot of the Maplewood Gun Club was held June 

 10, The competition in Classes A and B was very close. In Class C 

 Mr. Van Idestine had an easy task and won hands down. He is looked 

 upon as being the coming man of the club and will no doubt have to 

 taclde the A Class boys. Our background at present is very dark, 

 making it difScult to see some of the birds. Next week we shift the 

 traps to the east side of the grounds, which wfll give us a clear sky 

 background, and will have them in position and ready for our tourna- 

 ment on July 4, at which time we expect to have a large attendance of 

 shooters. ^
