New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League. 



The seventh monthly contest took place on the grounds of the 

 Myrtle Park Gun Club at Irvington on Saturday, Aug. 19. The attend- 

 ance was light during the morning, although the weather was almost 

 perfect for shootmg. In the afternoon, however, a bigger crowd as- 

 sembled, although there were only two dozen entries in the largest 

 event. This was no doubt caused by the failure of the home club to 

 send a larger delegati'^n to the previous tournaments. Perhaps no 

 people have a better idea of quid %)ro quo than trap shooters, and 

 clubs which send a large delegation a-visiting generally have a good 

 crowd to visit them. The principal event was of course the team 

 match, in which only five clubs of the eight were represented, Passaic 

 City of Passaic, Endeavor of Jersey City, and Independent of Plain- 

 field being the absentees. The first place was captured by the South 

 Side of Newark with the low score of lOfi, followed by the Union of 

 Springfield, a good second, with 105, and Maplewood third with 100. 

 The members of the home club, principally Dr. English, J. B. Allen, 

 Harry Sherman and Tom Osborn. assisted by the League secretary 

 and Capt. Breintnall of the South Side, worked hard to make the tour- 

 nament a success, and about 3.000 targets were thrown. The sport 

 was somewhat hindered by the greenness of the trappers, who needed 

 constant watching by Capt. Allen, who, however, finally worked this 

 department into good shape by his efforts. The final tournament of 

 the League will take place on the grounds of the Boiling Springs Fish- 

 ing and G-un Club at Rutherford on Saturday. Sept. 2, in connection 

 with which will be held an all-day meeting with an attractive pro 

 gramme. W. R. Hobart, Sec'y N. J. Trap-Shooters' League.

The Garfield Gun Club. 



The weekly shoot of the club, Aug. 19 was not so well attended as 

 usual, some of the members being at the Glen Ellen pic-nic. It was, 

 however, a pleasant gathering. A stifftsh wind added to the difflculty 

 of the shooting. 



There is an intention to have some live bird shooting at the next 

 weekly shoot.

Burgess Repeating: Shotgun. 



The Burgess Gun Co., Buffalo, N. Y., are just introducing a 12- 

 gauKe repeating shotgun. Aanouncement is also made that as soon 

 as the necessary tools are ready, now nearly so, a sporting rifle, a 

 repeating automatic pistol and military arms embodying the same 

 and other new principles will be manufactured. 



The cuts in advertising columns show the barrel and magazine 

 detached from the stock for convenience in carrying; the gun ready 

 for use, and with the breech open in the act of ejecting an empty 

 shnll. Regarding the action of the gun a distinguishing feature of the 

 movement is a right hand sliding handle which is connected to the 

 reciprocating bolt, and consists of a sleeve and pistil grip, which 

 shdes on the small of the stock obliquely to the path of the movement 

 of the bolt. There is a straight pull bolt and brace similar to the 

 Mannlicher, but much s ronger, a handle that fills the hand which 

 con-tantly grasps it, requiring no change from the trigger to handle 

 and back, or necessitating the taking of the gun from: tlie shoulder in 

 rapid firing. The trigger finger is always in positioji in the guard, 

 and a back and forward sifting motion of the right hand, in direct line 

 between the points of support, operates the gun. In firing dehber- 

 ately the trigger is only pulled at will. An inertia safety piet^e is 

 provided by which the shock of discharge unlocks the handle, and the 

 counter recoil which gives the body of the gun an impulse forivard, 

 when resisted by the natural pu l backward of the hand, will start 

 open the breech" and extract the shell; this automatic action (only 

 produced by the shock of firing) insures safety from -'hang fires." 



The breech Is opened by the "jump forward" of the gun, only after 

 the discharge and rearward recoil have taken place. It will be seen 

 that this occurs very quickly, as two shots can be fired in one-eighth 

 of a second, and into the same pattern. The trigger being carried by 

 the handle, is not in position to operate, and the firing pin cannot be 

 driven forward except when the breech is closed and locked. By 

 pressing a spring catch and a blow of the hand, the barrel can be 

 detached in a moment and the magazine may remain charged with 

 entire safety. 



The frame and working parts are all forged steel; Damascus barrels 

 and imported walnut stocks are used in all the grades offered. 

 Special merit is claimed in this gun for its sj^mmetrical form, perfect 

 balance and distribution of strength, lightness with freedom from 

 violent recoil and great closeness and power of shooting. 



The various features of the gun are referred to minutely in an illus- 

 trated pamphlet recently issued by the company, which they will 

 furnish upon application.^

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



E. S., Carp Lake, Mich.— Will you kindly explain clearly and dis- 

 tinctly so that we landsmen can easily understand it, what is meant 

 by a "lee shore?" For instance. If a man is fishing from a boat idoug 

 the shore upon which the wind is blowing, is he fishing on a lee shore? 

 If a vessel in a storm is driven ashore by the wind— is she on a lee 

 shore? Please advise us also of the best practical book on fly-fishing 

 with especial reference to bass flshmg w th the fly. Aus. A lee shore 

 is a shore against which the wind is blowing; the man in position 

 named would be fishing on a lee shore: the ship is driven upon a lee 

 shore. The best bass fishing book is Dr. Henshall's '-Book of the Black 

 Bass," price .?3. We can supply it.
