Towanda Gun Club. 



ToWATiDA, Pa., July 5.— The traps are in place, trappers at their 

 posts, squads filled, the shooters line up facing the traps for the first 

 round, a voice that has heen out the night before celebrating the 

 glorious Fourth sings out "pull" and the tournament of the Towanda 

 Gun Club has opened for July 4, 1893. An object resembUng a black 

 saucer, with a yellow ring frescoed thereon, is seen flying through 

 the air, the gunner facing No. 1 trap takes careful aim as he sup- 

 poses, but the target lands among the reeds and willows along the 

 river margin, to be retrieved as referee calls out "lost bird." The 

 nest two flying disks are broken, the following five lost, and so con- 

 tinues the sport until all present are satisfied. 



Owe grounds are situated on the banks of the Susquehanna Eiver. 

 many targets faUing in its waters, being low and shallow at thi f 

 point, and at this season of the year a number are retrieved. A large 

 gravel bar covered with dark green willows makes a dark green bacis- 

 groimd. piuerock traps, having the new Standard-Kej stone carrier 

 adjusted, with Keystone targets, were used, and being thrown ver . 

 swift and hardj a stiff breeze often making them vary in flight, mad 

 the shooting difficult, as the scores wiU testify. 



The following persons participated: Joe Adams, Waverly, N. Y.; 

 Wm. Von Wolfradt. J. H. Albert and F. Forbes, Athens, Pa.; Win 

 Meehan, Long Valley, Pa.; Fred Emery, Evergi-een, Pa.; Wallace

Thanks from Knoxville. 



Knosville, Tenn., June ZS— Editor Forest and Streavi: The Knox- 

 ville Gun Club feel it to be a duty as well as a pleasure to express to 

 their many friends among the sporting fraternity their sincere appre- 

 ciation of the numerous kind words of commendation we hear 

 expressed directly and indirectly relative to the success attendant 

 upon our meeting of May 23, 24, 25, 1893. 



It is with pleasure and thanks we beg to assure the trap editors of 

 the Forest and Stream, and each and every shooter who was with us 

 upon that occasion, that we fully appreciate and are deeply gratified 

 for all such expressions as: "Largest attendance; best purses; less 

 kicking, smoothest run ; clock-work precision; best system of handi- 

 cap; nothing like the fine system of office work: gentlemanly patience 

 to all inquiries; in fact, the best all round shoot I ever attended." 



We do not claim perfection, but we do claim business principles and 



f'entlenianly assistance from the shooters themselves, combined with 

 he great aid of our editorial friends of the sporting papers is bound 

 to make a successful issue to any tournament. 



Come again, boys. May, '94, and we will be glad to see you all and

Paterson's First Live Bird Shoot. 



Paterso.v, N. .J,, the great city of silk and locomotive manufac- 

 turies, boasts of over 60,000 population. This population is a mixed 

 one, as in aU manufacturing cities, and includes several thousand 

 Englishmen. Now Enghshmen, as a rule, are fond of hve pigeon 

 shooting from the trap, and it is rather strange that while hve bird 

 shooting has flourished in all the towns immediately contiguous to 

 the city, its inhabitants had never had an opportunity to witness an 

 open contest on their native heath previous to Thursday, Julj- 6. 

 Private matches were shot occasionally but as these were not adver- 

 tised the public knew nothing of them until they were by-gones. On 

 the above date, however, they were given an opportunity of witness- 

 ing the initial open contest, which was arranged by T. W. Morfej', of 

 Paterson, and C. H. Townsend, of Forest and Stream. About 300 

 availed themselves of the privilege thus accorded. Had the shoot 

 been held on the previous day, when all the factories were closed, the 

 attendance would have been heavy. 



W' illiard's Park is situated on the Little Falls road, about three miles 

 by electric cars from the Erie depot. On the opposite side of the road 

 flows the Passaic River, the water at this point being as clear as 

 crystal. About 100yds. back from the mahi entrance, nesthng in a 

 pretty grove is the park hotel, and about 100yds. in the rear of this is 

 the baseball ground where the shoot was held. The grounds are in- 

 closed, and to the left of the entrance is a well built and commodious 

 grand stand. The traps were set on the diamond, the center trap be- 

 ing eastsoutheast from the score, toward the corner of the grounds. 

 The background was the green hills about a mile distant. The ground 

 was almost perfectly level. The boundary was the fence on three 

 sides and the dead line was marlred by lime from corner to corner of 

 the grand stand. Some of the old veterans present declared this to be 

 the finest ground on which they had ever shot. The weather was de- 

 lightful, the sun shining clear and bright and there being a brisk 

 southwesterlj; wind to take the edge off the heat of the sun and to as- 

 sist the birds in their flight. 



The shoot was announced to begin at 10 A. M., but it was after the 

 dinner hour when the first shot was fired. At this time among those 

 present were M. F. Lindsley and his wife, "Wanda," of West Hoboken; 

 Mr. and Mrs. John Leonard and Mr. and 'ilTS. Frank Glass, of Morris- 

 town; J. H. Richmond and G. T. Hollister, of New York: Chas. Le- 

 none, of Passaic; Eddy Colhns, of W'est Hoboken; J. W. Hoffman, of 

 German Valley; W. S. Canon and Samuel Castle, of Newark; W. G. 

 "Holhs," of Harrison; "Dutchy" Smith, of Plainfield; T. W. Morfey, 

 of Paterson; C. H. Townsend. of Forest and Stream; Aug. C. Deit- 

 rich, Wm. Dutcher, F. E. Wolf a.nd John Eanson, of Paterson.

SAMUEL CASTLE. 



CHARLES SMITH. 



Soon after noon it was proposed to have a "warmer" in the form of 

 a sweepstake at 5 birds, 85 entry, 3 moneys. The result of this will be 

 seen below, third money being shot off, miss and out, and finally 

 divided after kilhng 7 eacJi by Morfey and Canon. The birds used in 

 this sweep were a mixed lot, poor to medium, being the culls from thr 

 500 on hand: 



Lindsley 12233—5 Lenone 10011—! 



Morfey 2021»— 3 Hoffman 33302—

Hofiister 33301—4 Green 1311 2—5 



Collins 33321—5 Smith 1»101— 3 



Here a half hour recess was taken for dinner, and in the meantime 

 several more shooters appeared, among them being Chas. M. Hedden, 

 of Newark; James L. Smith, of Hackettstown ; T. C. Wright, of Pater- 

 son; E. C. George, of Little Falls; R. S. Roche, of Kearney, and T. 

 Duncklee. of Paterson. Al Heritage, of Jersey City, also appeared, 

 and a little later came John Erb, of Newark, and Noel G. Money, of 

 Oakland. 



At 1:.35P. M. the big event of the day was started, the conditions 

 being 30 live birds per man, $30 entry, modified Hurlmgham rules gov- 

 erning. Chas. M. Hedden, of the Newark Gun Club, was selected as 

 referee, and the scoring was done by the trap editor of Forest and 

 Stream. 



The start was made with twelve entries, but with the consent of the 

 shooters five late comers were permitted to enter. According to the 

 rules this cut the money into five parts, first being 871.50, second 

 S59.50, third S47.50, fourth !$35.50, and fifth S24. 



During the earlier part of the shoot the birds were a disappointing 

 lot, the majority being slow to take flight and clumsy on the wing. 

 They looked like a fair lot and the conditions were strongly in their 

 favor; but for some reason they felt lazy. A Uttle later they began to 

 get up quicker and fly better, but stiU when considered as a whole 

 they were not an extra good lot. There were some, of course, equal 

 to the best and others were fairly good. 



Some of the finest work of the day was done by Wm. S. Canon, 

 New Jersey's one-armed expert, his second-barrel stops being equal 

 to those of any of the contestants. When it is considererl that Mr. 

 Canon is obliged to brace the butt of the gun in his armpit until a 

 bird rises, and that on firiue the first barrel the gun invariably leaves 

 his shoulder, his second-barrel,work can be described as phenome- 

 nal. On this day he was at his best and no bird seemed too fast for 

 him to stop with his Francotte. 



On the fifth round there were five with straight scores, on the tenth 

 round the number was reduced to two, on the fourteenth round Rich- 

 mond alone had a close string, and on the nest round he too caught 

 his "Jonah" and fell back in a hole where there were already five 

 others. The story of the shoot, however, is best told by the follow- 

 ing table, showing by the use of Forest and Stream's great and ex- 

 elusive trap score type the direction of flight of every bird:

First and second were shot off, miss-and-oufc, Class Collins and J. L 

 Smith dividing the former on the seventh round, and second being 

 divided by Morfey, Canon and Castle, after shooting eleven rounds 

 each, when the supply of birds gave out. Roche drew his pro rata of 

 second. Third was divided. Lindsley was fortunate in being alone 

 for fourth, as was Hoffman for fifth. 



Thus ended the first open shoot for this town, but that it wUl not he 

 the last goes without the saying. If the management was not satis- 

 factory, the fact was not stated on the grounds, in fact the unanimous 

 opinion of aU was that they had spent a most enjoyable day, and would 

 be only too glad to pay another visit to WUliard's Park.

The Hollywood Columbia Jubilee. 



A big crowd of spectators assembled at the Hollywood grormds on 

 July 7 to witness the Columbia JubUee contest at 50 live birds, 30yds. 

 rise, ties at 10 birds, SlOO entry, of which 60,"? to first, 30^ to second and 

 10% to third. The match resulted in a victory for L. S. Thompson on

 taking third. 



DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Braddock, Pa., July 5.— The Eagle Gun Club, composed of some of 

 the best amateur shots in this vicinity, of which Superintendent Gay- 

 ley, of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works; Dr. Reed, of Camden; and 

 George Anderson, of the Seventh Avenue Hotel, are leading lights, 

 have delightful trap grounds on the topmost elevation on the hill 

 north of Braddock. They held an afl-day shoot there to-day, and had 

 many a good argument ' with the shells. Joe Anderson led in the 

 singles, breaking 109 bluerocks out of a possible 140, and Messrs. Kirk 

 and Charley Anderson got 107 each. There were none obtained less 

 than 95. In doubles C. A. Anderson hit 22 out of 24 and Joe got 30. 

 Both Mr. Gayley and A. M. Scott did remarkably well for marksmen 

 out of practice and are excellent wing shots. " A sumptuous spread 

 was ser . ed among the trees. 



The International shoot to be given by Jack Parker on Aug. 33, 23, 

 24 and 25, on the famous Des-cliree-shos-ka Island, at the mouth of the 

 Detroit River, promises to be an exceptionally attractive affair. Mr. 

 Parker will have a shoot each day for a guaranteed f>urse of f200; 

 also a team race with S75 for first money, entrance iirice of targets 

 and a shoot for $100 purse with entrance price of targets only. There 

 will be two trophies shot for, one at Uve birds and one at targets, for 

 the championship of the United States and Canada. The tent and 

 exhibits of the Manufacturers' Trap-Shooting Association, wiU be on 

 the grounds during the entire shoot. 



The MeadvOle and Franklin (Pa.) gun clubs shot a team race on the 

 Meadville grounds on July 4, five men per team, 25 targets per man. 

 The scores; Frankim: Frazier 33, Mallory 30, Crawford 18, Gray 12, 

 Wilson 35; total 97. Meadville: MiUer 19, Smith 22, Clark 16, Leber- 

 man 12, Gundaker 18; total 87. The score in the second shoot was not 

 qm"te as good for either team, the Franklin boys, however, holding up 

 nearly to their previous record. Result: MeadvOle; Kelso 16, Porter 

 16, Barrackman 16, Hotchldss 14, Winegar 18; total 81. Franklin: 

 Frazer 20, Mallory 13, Crawford 17, Gray 24, W^ilson 31; total 94. 



A card from Henry Goodman and A. C. Dick ("Richard"), of Cincin- 

 nati states that at the request of numerous friends who took part in 

 the 1893 Coney Island shoot, they have decided to repeat the affair, 

 and have selected as the dates Aug. 16, 17 and 18. The shoot is sure to 

 be well attended, as the two gentlemanly managers have hosts of 

 friends all over tlie country. Cincinnati merchants will donate a large 

 sum of cash to be added to each event. Programmes will be ready m 

 a few days. 



Frank Northrop of Johnstown, N. Y., was in great farm at the ■ 

 Fourth of July shoot at Amsterdam, breaking an average of 94" i,,^ 

 of the targets he shot at. He took part in ten regular events, getting 

 in for first place eight times and for second place twice. He shot a 

 new Wilkesbarre gun, which was completed only a few days before 

 the shoot. His scores make a spIencUd showing for the gun as well as 

 for his holding. 



The Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association will hold their third 

 annual shoot at Little Rock, on Aug. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, and it is the 

 intention of tlie committee to make this surpass any previous event 

 held in the State. The shoot wfll be open to the world. There
