FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept, 30, 1898. 



Interstate Association at Worcester. 



Worcester, Sept. 20.~EdUor Forest and Stream; The sixth tour- 

 nament of the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' /Association was 

 held at Worcester, Mass., Sept. 20 and 21, under the auspices of the 

 Worcester Sportsmen's Club, on their new grounds. 



It would be difficult to find grounds possessing greater natural ad- 

 vantages than those of the AVorcester Sportsmen's Club. The site is 

 on Gleason's Island in the southwest edge of North Lake, about SJ^ 

 miles from the city hall, and ten minutes' walk from the terminus of 

 the street car line. 'The club has a ten year lease of the grounds, in the 

 center of which is the club house; the building is ■3rx20f t. on ground floor, 

 with the addition of a store room for various pai'aphernalia of the club. 

 The ground floor of the main building is arranged solely for the con- 

 venience of the shooters. The second floor is arranged for a dining 

 hall. The front of the ground floor near the platform is a sort of bay 

 window, within which is the office. Continuing on from the office is 

 a plank walk which leads to a platform 65xl5ft. The situation of the 

 grounds was chosen for the best possible results in shooting. The 

 house and platform front due northeast. North and northeast of the 

 traps is a large clearing, triangular in form, with a waterfront of 

 300ft. Standing on the piazza and looking due north one may see Mt. 

 Ararat (not the one spoken of in the Bible) with its pretty fields 

 fringed with timber. Due northeast lies the beautiful little village of 

 Greendale, while to the east is the Odd Fellows Home. 



A roadway has been constructed from the mainland to the island, 

 and when completed a gate will be put up which, when closed. Will 

 prevent access to the grounds. Notice will be posted in all parts of 

 the grounds and the trespass law will be enforced. The formal open- 

 ing of the grounds took place the day prior to the opening of the 

 Interstate shoot, and all had a royal good time. Manager Elmer E. 

 Shaner had all of his tents in position for the tournament, which 

 added to the beauty of the scene. The opening was graced by the 

 presence of many ladies, who gave the club a fine silk flag, 15ft. long 

 and 5ft. wide. The flag bore the inscription ""Worcester Sportsmen's 

 Club,"' in red letters. 



The presentation speech was made by Mrs. M. D. Gilman, who spoke 

 pleasantly of past courtesies from the club and hoped that the mem- 

 bers would always be happ5' beneath the flag's iuRpiring folds. Presi- 

 dent M. D. Gilman accepted the flag on behalf of the club, and thanked 

 the ladies for their thoughtful kindness. The ladies brought tooth- 

 some refreshments, which were gratefully discussed. 



A general social time was enjoyed and Mrs. W. R. Deane, Mrs. ■W^ L. 

 Davis and Mrs. John A. Sears mustered up courage to shoot a gun. 

 The birds w ere unharmed, but the ladies had their fun. 



On Wednesday, the first day of the tournament, shooting commenced 

 at 10 o'clock and kept up until nearlj-- dark. 



A strong wind from the southwest blew across North Lake and 

 made the shooting extremely difficult, the flight of the birds being 

 very erratic, while some of them were carried nearly 100yds. by the 

 wind. 



Gathered around the score were noticed Capt. A. W. Money and 

 Noel E. Money, Oakland, N. J.; H. L. Edgarton, WUlimantic, Conn.; 

 H. G. Wheeler and H. W. Eager, Marlboro, Mass.; J. E. Burns ("Cli- 

 max"), Lowell, Mass.; B. LeRoy Woodard, Brockton, Mass.; J. Hoyle,

 M. Gilman, A.W.Walls, M. Buck, 0. AV. Walls, E. AV.Knowles, C. 

 Forehand, AVorcester, Mass , and many others.

On Thursday, the second day of the tournament, shooting com-

 than those of the fli-st day.

Shooting at Willard's Park. 



On Tuesday, Sept. 19, the newl.y organized Paterson (N. J.) Gun 

 Club held its second shoot at AViUard's Park, ten members being 

 present to try their hands on Empire targets thrown from bluerock 

 traps. The weather was perfect for the sport and the grounds in fine 

 condition, as usual. 



This club, which held its inlMal shoot on Sept. 4, was organized 

 through the efforts of Thomas AV. Morfey, a well-known member of 

 the Newark Gun Club, and proprietor of the Eagle House, the best 

 known sportsmen's resort in Paterson. Mr. Morfej' is an Englishman 

 by birth, and shot on all the weU-known British pigeon grounds before 

 taking up his residence under the Stars and Stripas. He is an enthu- 

 siast m the sport, and seeing no reason why a city of nearl.y 90,000 

 population should not have at least one gim club, he went about en- 

 deavoring to enthuse some of his friends, the result being a club 

 which starts out with a fair prospect of becoming one of the strongest 

 in the State. 



Among the members of the club may be mentioned "Colonel" 

 L^none, of Pnssaic, whose military title was voted to him in consider- 

 ation of his retaining his finely trimmed goatee a, la militaire. Col. 

 Lenone is one of those genial hearted men who is popular wherever 

 he goes, who shoots well (when he tries) at either live birds or tar- 

 gets and who is always ready to make a match for anybody against 

 any body else. 



Then there is J. L. Wolf, who manages his business so he can attend 

 all the shoots within reach and who starts out at a stiff gait with his 

 new Colt gun. 



J. C. Wright, an old opponent (at the traps) of Mr. Morfey, is an- 

 other of the enthusiastic and expert shots of the club. 



The regular club shoot was at 25 targets, known traps and targets, 

 this being preceded by a warming sweep at 10 targets in wh ' h the 

 scores were: Lenone 8, Wright 8, Morfey 7, Hill 7, Doty 7, Wolf 6, 

 Dunkerly 5, Qebson 4, Spinacher 4, Winters 2.

No notice taken of anonymous communications 



T. B. C, Boston, Mass.— Are there at present any live bison, born 

 wild, never having been in captivity, at large in the United States? 

 This would settle a much argued question. Ans. Yes. The bison in 

 the YeUowstone National Park, numbering perhaps four or Ave 

 hundred, are at large and wild and have never been in captivity. 



A. F. H., South Braintree, Mass. — AA'ill you please let me know if 

 there is a species of wood swallow which is pure white, not a particle 

 of color on it. a friend of mine has shot one which is pure white. It is 

 now in the hands of a taxidermist. Such a bird has never been seen 

 before in this section so far as I know. Ans. The bird is no doubt an 

 albino swallow. 



R. E. VoLVER, Brooklyn.— 1. AVere the rifles used or known as Rigby 

 rifle on the international match muzzleloaders or breechloader, and 

 what charge powder and what style of rifling, and what twist and 

 caliber? 2. AVhat is the twist in the Sharp-Borchard "Old Reliable" 

 barrel, 110 grains powder and over, with 500 to 550 grains lead? 3. 

 AVhat is the twist of the long range Hepburn-Remington ,44 to .4.5eal. 

 2 6-10 shell charge, 100 grains powder and over, with 500 grains lead 

 and over? 4. Is it too late to get good shooting of snipe, plover, etc.. 

 on Long Island this season? If not where is the bnst place to go:' 

 Ans, 1 . Rigby rifles shot in international match shot in America were 

 muzzleloaders. 85 grains. C. & H. No. 6, bullets 550 grains, 450cal , gain 

 twist, finish one turn in 18in. 3. Sharp-Borctiard, even twist, one 

 turn in 18in., .453cal. 3. Hepburn-Remington, .44~cal. one turn in 

 18in , even twist. In last international match shot in England, some 

 of the English team are said to have shot breechloaders (Medford). 4. 

 Snipe and plover shooting on Long Island is always uncextain. Birds 

 are reported as very scarce this season. You might try Lane's, at 

 Good Ground.
