FOl^EST ANi> STREAM. 



[Nov. 4. 1898. 



Forest vs. Roxborough. 



Philadelphia, Oct. 28.— The Forest Gun Club had a double event on 

 their grounds to-day. The first, which started at 3 o'clock, was not 

 finished until 4, and it gave very little time before dark for the second 

 event, which was a shoot for a double-barreled breechloading gun, 

 13-gauge. When this match was finished it was so dark that the 

 shooters had to do lots of guessing. The first match was between a 

 team from the Eoxborough Gun Club and Forest Club. As the 

 Forest boys only had ten members to shoot and the Eoxboroughs 

 had thirteen, Frank Cornman, who is a member of both clubs, was 

 allowed to shoot on both teams, and he did as well for one as the 

 ■other, breaking 20 each time. 



To make up the deficiency, at the suggestion of the Forest and 

 Stream representative the names of the Forest Club were put in a 

 hat and two drawn, these two beiug allowed to shoot double scores. 

 The choice fell on Morrison and Kiotte. Where they shot their second 

 Jround is marked with an asterisk (*) on the score. 



There were quite a lot of spectators on the ground, as these clubs 

 are supposed to be closely matched, but the Forest boys got away 

 "With their rivals in good shape with a score of 217 to 204. 



The second event resulted in Landis and H. Thurman (shooting 

 lor Jackson) tieing on 20 straight. The scores are: 

 Forest Team.

Glenmore Rod and Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Glenmore Eod and Gun Club at Dexter 

 Park on Wednesday, Oct. 25, brought together only eight members. 

 The regular club event calls for seven birds, five unknown traps, club 

 handicap rules. J. Flynn was in good form and succeeded in killing 

 his seven birds, using his second barrel only on his sixth bird. The 

 birds, as a rule, were a fairly good lot and several of the contestants 

 made some good long-range kills. J. J. Edgerton, with his old style 

 10-bore Greener, shot in good form, in a series of 20 birds losing only 

 three, two of which fell dead out of bounds. Chas. Engelbrecht was 

 another contestant who made a good showing, killing 18 out of his 20 

 birds. The scores are appended:

Monthly Shoot of the Rosevilles. 



The Roseville Gun Club had a small turnout at its monthly shoot 

 held on John Erb's Newark grounds on Oct. 26. The weather was fine 

 for the sport and a big crowd was expected, but for some unexplained 

 reason they failed to materialize. E. H, Breintnall and C. M. Hedden, 

 of the South Side Gun Club, and B. C. Sutton, of Newark, were 

 among the shooters. All the shooting was at bluerock targets, 10 in 

 each event, the scores following:
