of the Cosmopolitan Gun Club of PlainfieJd and Charles ("Dutchy") 

 Smith of the same town, who challenge Albert Rust of Pliiia'lelpliia 

 and Wm. Wolstencrnft of Frankford to a match at 100 live birds each 

 under American Shooting Association rules, the losing team to pay for 

 the birds, the stake to be nomiDal. This affair should be a closely 

 contested one as there is scarcely any diiference in the shooting 

 strength of the teams. If possible the match will be shot at the Fan- 

 wood grounds of the Climax Gun Club. Then there is the prospective 

 match between T. W. Morfey and the Trenton expert Ed HiU, the 

 date not yet arranged, and a chance for the return match between 

 "Little" Neaf Apgar and Ed. Hill, this to be shot, if at all. at Pater- 

 son. Each of these will be at 100 live birds per man. Again W S. 

 Canon, the one-armed expert of Newark, and Rowland Gasper of New 

 York, are likely to have another at one another, so taken aU the way 

 through there will be plenty of sport. 



About fifty sportsmen went to Pine Brook, N. J., on Saturday, Nov. 

 11, to witness a 100-bird match advertised to be shot between T. W. 

 Morfey of Paterson and T. E. Morford of Newton. The visitors how- 

 ever were disappointed, as Mr. Morford failed to appear. It trans- 

 pired that neither of the principals were interested in the making of 

 the match, the terms being arranged, and a forfeit of $^5 each being 

 placed in the hands of Mr. Frank Faber of Butler by other parties. 

 Mr. Morford knew nothing of the arrangement until the above pre- 

 liminaries had been gone through with, and then he at once put his 

 foot on the whole business, refusing positively to shoot a match for 

 money, his position not allowing him to do so. Messrs. Martin & 

 Uottschalk of the Pine Brook Hotel, -where the affair was to take 

 place, received no notice of Mr. Morford's refusal to shoot, and were 

 eJlowed to go ahead with advertising the shoot, procuring the birds, 

 etc. Mr. Morfey also thought everything w^as correct, and at the ap- 

 pointed hour he was on hand ready for business. His disgust as well 

 as that of the others who were on hand can be better imagined than 

 described -when they learned that there would be no match. The par- 

 ties who pretended to be acting for Mr. Morford are of course respon- 

 sible for the outcome of the affair. Mr. Faber, the stakeholder, turned 

 over the forfeit money to Mr. Morfey, and this ended the affair. 



The live bird shooters of New Jersey and those of Kings county, 

 N. Y., know positively that they are to meet at the traps in an inter- 

 state contest at Uve pigeons. Mr. Jacob Pentz, the projector of the 

 Bontest informs us that all preliminaries are arranged and that Dec. 5, 

 New Yorkers and Jerseymen who wish to may wager their shekels 

 and at the same time witness some of the livehest kind of shooting. 

 This match was brought about by a remark made by a Kings county 

 expert in the presence of Mr. Pentz, the remark in substance that no 

 State could turn out a team to defeat a Kings county contingent. As 

 a loyal Jerseyman "Uncle Jake" could not allow such an opinion to 

 50 unchallenged, and he at once offered to show the Kings county 

 gentleman that Jersey could put up a team to make Kings county 

 lustle. Hence the match should be one well worth the witnessing. 

 Sach team will comprise HO men, each man to shoot at I.t live pigeons 

 inder Hurlingham rules for honors, the price of birds and a nominal 

 itake of $10 a man. The match will probably be started at 9 A. M., in 

 )rder to finish before dark. Both New Jersey and Kings county are 

 Well stocked with expert shooting men and as a matter of course each 

 (rill put out their choicest men. and that a battle royal irill result. 



A small party assembled at Erb's grounds in Newark on Election 

 )ay, and amused themselves with trap practice. Among them were 

 r. A. R. EUiott, of Kan,sas City, and ai. F. Lindsley, of West Hoboken. 

 rhe opening event was a 25-bird practice shoot between ElUott and 

 Landsley, the result being ElUott 23, Lindsley 31. Then followed three 

 ,0-bird sweeps, K5 entry, with two moneys in each, the scores bemg: 

 3anon 8 7 7, Lindsley 10 10 9, Elliott 8 8 8, Erb 6 8 8, HoUis 9 8 9. This 

 rraa an unusually light attendance for a holiday, but was doubtless 

 >wlng to the absence in the field of a number of the usual frequenters. 



Everybody who shoots a gun Icnows George A. Mosher of Syracuse, 

 md knowing him favorably everybody will of course be pleased to 

 earn that he has assumed the position of assistant manager of the 

 Dewly formed Syracuse Gun Co., an organization which promises to 

 mt on the market the simplest high-grade harmnerless gun ever made, 

 ilr. Mosher has our best wishes as well as those of his hosts of shoot- 

 ing friends for his future success. 



Miss Annie Oakley and her manager, Frank E. Butler, have been at 

 the Continental Hotel in Newark for the past two weeks awaiting the 

 ajmpletion of Miss Oakley's new house at Nutley. "Little Sure Shot" 

 B in perfect health and spirits despite having given two performances 

 avery day for six months when in Chicago. 



The monthly shoot of the Eoseville Gun Club, of Newark, will be 

 beld on John Erb's Bloomfield avenue grounds, on Thursday, Nov. 23, 

 imd all shooters are invited to be present and take a hand in the sport. 

 The shooting will be at artificial targets. Shooting will begin at 10 

 A. M. 



Elliott and Class are to come together again to-day in a 100-bird con- 

 test at the Morristown Driving Park. The match will be called at 1 

 P. M. They were to have shot on the White Plains track on Thursday 

 but were unable to do BO, as the ti-ack is undergoing extensive repairs' 



"L. H.," Asbury Park, is informed that under the conditions he men- 

 tions "E." would be entitled to second money.

Class in Great Form. 



Those who visited Paterson on Oct. 27 with the intention of seeing 

 I'rank Class of New Jersey "snowed under" in bis match against Jas 

 \.. R. ElUott of Kansas City, and instead of that saw a tie at ninety -six 

 tills each on the 100th round, were rather surprised at the skiU and 

 aerve of the Jerseyman in holding his own so gamely in a contest that 

 fras nip and tuck from start to finish. Then when he lost the shoot 

 >flf — the hardest kind of a nerve tester by losing a bird dead out of 

 bounds— they were willing to acknowledge that Class still retained his 

 )ld staying powers. The birds on that occasion were a fairly good 

 ot but the weather conditions were all against them, else the above 

 Igures would probably not have been reached. The consensus of 

 >pinion seemed to be that while Class was off in the use of his second 

 jarrel his first barrel form was superior to that of ElUott, the latter 

 »eing a shade slower. 



The second match was to have been shot at the Morristown Driving 

 i'ark on Nov. 4, but on that day the ram feU in torrents and it was 

 jostponed to Nov. 11, which proved to be better as far as weather con- 

 litions went than the day of the Paterson match, but far from what 

 ^ desired. The ligtit was dull during the entire afternoon, while a 

 , raw breeze from the northeast blew with just force enough to 

 the pigeons life, clear away the smoke and send an occasional 

 up and down the spine. 

 '/The attendance was lair, the more prominent among whom were 

 Mrs. and Miss Lindsley and Eddie Collins, of West Hoboken; Al. 

 iritage and wife, of Jersey City; T. W Morfey and Henry Wolf of 

 iterson; Dr. P. J. Zeglio, of WarrenvUle; John Rothaker, of Ger- 

 intown; Neaf Apgar, of Henry C. Squu-es & Son, New York; Chas. 

 lith, of Plainfield; Mr Campbell of Dover, and a number of Morris- 

 'own sportsmen whose names could not be learned. 



It was 1:50 P. M. wh^-n the match began, T- W. Morfey acting as 

 • eferee, Henry Wolf pulling the traps aud the scoring being done by 

 htr representatives of the sporting journals. Class won the toss and 

 lirst to the score, pulling down a fast driver from No. 2 trap, one 



I doing the work. Elliott also got a fast one, a right-quarterer 

 ; No. 4 irap, which was stopped with a clever first. Everything 



I! L ^'ressed swimmingly until Elliott went to the score for his' tenth 

 bi.i "PuU" was called, over went No. 2 trap, and the fall of the 

 rau was instantly foUosved by two reports from Elliott's gun, but 

 iuvjst useless was the act of pulling the trigger, as the bird, a shm, 

 ati y blue ont», jumped fully 5yda. as the trap went down, caught its 

 ruitrs iu a trice, aud must have been not less than a yard from the 

 iiV'is boundary before the second barrel, quickly as it was pulled, 

 n its way. Flyl well its speed was simply wonderful, wiiile as 

 lug hurt we do not beUeve either charge flew close enough 

 <y frighten it. 



i;er men lost again until the twenty-first roimd, when Class got 

 which was almost identical as to form, color, speed and method 

 , u with the one above described. Class, however, hit this flyer 

 i .th barrels, but its great speed caused it to go behind the Une 

 J i c. The round ended with 23 kills for Class and 22 for Elliott, both 

 f Class's and oue of Elliott's being dead out of bounds, and all the 

 jst heing good ones. 

 A t Lis Stage of the game it was plainly seen that Cla.ss was in by 

 A- best form, quicker by several yards and centering his birds 



II h his first barrel. His second also was used with much better 

 I han in the previous match. Elliott- was certainly out of fettle, 

 slow and draggy in the use of either barrel and not getting his 

 iawu as cleanly as of old. At times he w^ould for a tew rounds 

 lis usual snap but this was soon followed by a lapse back.

tie second quarter Class was the flrst loser, on a right-quarter- 

 iver fast enough to gel away from any one, but which got the 

 [ of both charges and gave up Che ghost just beyond the fence, 

 liad similar luck on his eighth bird, an incomer to the right and 

 L -iSk one at that. It was barely touched with the flrst barrel, but 

 lught the second in full only to faU dead outside. Class lost no more 

 I this roimd. ElUott's twelfth and fourteenth were lost and the 

 alf showed Class 47, Elliott 44, with everybody conceding the race as 

 !(k)d as won by the Jerseyman. 



On the third quarter ElUott seemed to pull himself together, and 

 ipt tmtil the thirteenth round was he'scored against, thia being a dead 

 hat of boimds of one of the ugliest flyers of the day, a right-quarter- 



ing driver from No. 5 trap, which never stopped zig-zagging untU its 

 life left it just beyond the line Elliott also lost a circler to the right 

 aud finished the round with 23 kills, Class scoring 24. his lost bu-d 

 being dead out of bounds. The figures now showed 71 for Class to 

 67 for ElUott, with the same fine form on the part of Class and a lapse 

 by Elliott 10 his slow shooting. 



The final quarter was alniost a repetition of the one preceding it. 

 Class losing thirteenth bird dead out of bounds and getting the rest, 

 while Elliott had a driving twister carry two ftill loads over the fence, 

 missed another and scored 23. 



This ended the race with a total of 95 kills for Class against 90 for 

 Elliott. 



The birds were a fine lot and not more than three or four refu«ed 

 flight ivhfn the trap was sprung. r<^<iiiirinii Maggiti .-. Only i.ne bird

 being more creditable than the 96 killed at Paterson. birds and weather 

 con.«idered. And it must not be forgottf^n that he did not miss one of 

 his 100 birds, while his score in an 80-yard boundary would have been 

 98 kihs. His form is now better than ever and if he retains it he 

 should quit even with the hottest of the cracks. 



Both men used Greener guns, EUiott using American wood and 

 Class Schultze powder. The time of the race by quarters was 30m., 

 30m., 33m. and 32m. The longest runs were, Class 20, 32 and 26 ElU- 

 ott 23. Cla.ss used his second barrel 47 times and ElUott 43 times. 



At this point we might give the score of the shoot by throwing in a 

 whole lot of Is, 2s, Os and •3," but Forest aud Stream has got beyond 

 that stage. Instead of using a column to explain to you the direction 

 of fUght of each bird and leaving you to guess as to whether the prin- 

 cipals did their best work on drivers or incomers, on right or left 

 quarterers, we show you in a neat, handy form, readily understood, 

 the approximate direction of flight of each bird, using for this pur- 

 pose our own exclusive trap score type, one of the many good things 

 which has helped to make Forest and Stream what it is— the great- 

 est journal on earth for sportsmen and everj^body else. 



Here is the score and the trap score type; the flrst line of figures 

 showing the trap sprung and the third the barrel used. 



Figures in third line: 1, flrst barrel kiU; 2, second barrel kill; •, dead

*• Father Time" Wins a Buggry. 



Philadelphia, Nov. 11. — Trap-shooting around Philadelphia has 

 been very slow since the game season opened the first of this month, 

 but promises to be lively in a few weeks. On Saturday next the new 

 club at Fitzwatertown, abotit 12 miles from here, will have a Uve 

 bird shoot for several prizes, and on Thanksgiving Daj' the Forest 

 Gun Club wfll hold a tournament. In this shoot there will be no divid- 

 ing of purses until the pro rata equals the entrance, this will make 

 the boys shoot, and probably there will not be so much dropping for 

 place. About the middle of December the Keystone Hhooting League 

 will give a three days' tournament, two days at targets, one day at 

 live birds, and with such men as A. J. Hust, W. and J. Wolstencroft 

 H. C"LaQcii8"J David, W. Garvin, H. Thurman, Capt. Pack and the 

 rest of the League boys as hustlers it should be a great success. One 

 of the main events will be a team race between residents of Pennsyl- 

 vania and New Jersey, and as we expect a delegation of good shooters 

 from New Jersey it will make a very interesting shoot. We have con- 

 ceit enough here to think we can hold our own with any State in the 

 Union at the traps at either targets or Uve birds. 



The only shoot advertised for to-day was on the grounds of the 

 Flourtown Club and for a buggy as the prize. The srounds of this 

 club are about a rude from the town, which is just outside of the PhU- 

 delphia city limits. The club is quite a lively one f .r the number of 

 members, and they have some very good shooters in their ranks who 

 will be able to hold their own next year at the Pennsylvania State 

 shoot. The club bas just joined the Association and say they intend 

 to take part nejct year and try to win some of the trophies. 



The smaU number of shooters on the grounds compelled those that 

 were present to take extra chances, so as to get the buggy shot 

 off, J S. Peterman shooting for J. H. Matz. M. T. Sheets, D. D. Yeakel 

 W. S. Kerper and himself, A. Peterman for W. Rhodes. ' 



These grounds are vexy hard to shoot on, there heing a hull right in 

 front of the traps covered with trees and bushes, and Che scores were 

 very poor, as some of the trees had their leaves on them and some 

 were bare, making a very broken background. 



Shoot for a buggv, miss and out: J. H. Matz 0, Worthington 1, H. 

 Thurman 4, Landis 2, David 3, W. Rhodes 5, M. T. Sheetz 1. H. Thur- 

 man 0, Landis 1, David 4, David 0, Landts 11, J. S. Peterman 7, H. Thur- 



A few one-money miss-aud-out events wound up the day's sport.

"Waverly Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the W iverly Gun Club, at Dexter Park, on 

 Monday, Nov. 6, brought ogether only four metntiers in the club 

 event. The day's shooting was devoted to smashing the bluerock 

 targets. In the regular club event for the club medal the honors 

 went to O. HiUmer, who succeeded in breaking 6 out of the 10 shot 

 at. with Pop Van Siaden second with 5 to his credit. The third 

 sweep resulted in a tie betweeJi Van Staden, HiUiner and Rugen with 

 5 each. In the shoot-off the old veteran's staying qualities abided 

 with him to the tind and he got the Verdict. The fourth event resulted 

 in a tie between Van Staden aud HiUmer with 6 breaks each. The 

 shoot-off resulted in another victory for the veteran. The fifth aud 

 last event of the day was a repetition 1 if the fourth ; Van Staden pul- 

 verized 7 of the 10 shot at and pocketed the pot. Messrs HiUmer, 

 Fehliesen and Rugen tied for second money with 5 each, and on the 

 shoot-off Fehliesen shot out his competitors. The scores are here

Rochester Defeats Onondag^a. 



Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 2.— Twenty members of the Onondaga 

 County Sporting Club, of Syracuse, came to this city to-day and tried 

 conclusions at clay pigeons with the Rochester Rod and Gun Club on 

 the Monroe avenue groimds in the mOrning and afternoon. The con- 

 tests consisted of seven sweepstake events of ten, flfteen and twenty 

 birds, and a team shot of twenty men on a side of twenty-flve birds. 



All of the sweep.stakes were closely contested, and many exceUent 

 scores were made. 



The local club had made arrangements for making the occasion one 

 long to be remembered with pleasure by the visitors, and that their 

 efforts were most successful the happy crowd of Syracuseans who 

 left the city at an early hour this morning gave evidence Lunch was 

 prepared for the guests at the grounds, aud in the evening all the 

 marksmen enjoyed a banquet at Worden's. After partaking of a 

 sumptuous meal— for every one had a ravenous appetite— a programme 

 of toasts was carried out. 



President Fulton announced 'V. c. Hadley as toastmaster. Mr. 

 Hadley proved himself the right man in the right place. He is a crack 

 shooter, but he is also a crack at presiding over a banquet table. The 

 speeches w^ere not of the " cut and dried " sort. .The listeners were 

 hardly in a mood for such. Jokes at the expense of one another, 

 lively stories and reminiscences were the order, and for several hours 

 all had a royal good time. Letters were read from C O. Barrett, the 

 weU known Boston shooter; August Schmitt, ex- Vice-President of the 

 Rochester Gun Club, and others. 



Here are the subjects of the toasts to which responses were made: 

 "Ououdaga Sportsmen's Club," Harvey McMurchy; " Syracuse Ath- 



Gus Moshier; " What I Know About Shooting Mud Hens," C. Wolcott; 

 '•Gim and Sporting Goods," G. H. Mann; "The Sword of Bunker 

 HiU," a song, Dan Lefever; " The Laws for the Protection of Fish 

 and Game," C. Ayling; " What Part His Bitters Took in the Conven- 

 tion," G. HoUoway; "How I Made 79 MUes in 68 Minutes," Jimmy 

 Wood.

The Ne-wark Gxta Club. 



The turnout at the November shoot of the Newark Gun Club, held 

 on John Erb's Newark grounds on the 9th, was better attended than 

 the preceding one, but still the members do not show up as they 

 should. Not a resident member was on hand, those present being T. 

 W. Morfey, Henry Wolfe and T. C. Wright, of Paterson; M. F. Linds- 

 ley, of West Hoboken; Dr. P. J. ZegUo, of Warrenville, and W. G. 

 HoUis, of Kearny. J. A. R. ElUott, of Kansas City, was also present 

 and took part in the fun. 



The poor attendance at the recent meets of this club are undoubt- 

 edly caused by the unsettled state of the money market, and just now 

 the number of absentees is likely to be larger Chan usual, a number of 

 the regular attendants being away in the fleld aud covert. 



The day was not an exceedingly favorable one, the air being cold 

 and raw and the Ught by no means clear. The birds were fair and the 

 haudUug and retrieving of the usual order, which always means good 

 on the.se grounds. The opening event was fl. $2 miss and out; then 

 came three 10 bird events, S5 entry, 3 moneys, the third of these events 

 being also the club shoot. After this there were shot three miss and 

 out events, $2 entry. The scores are detaUed:

The World's Fair Championship. 



Chicago, III., Nov. 9.— To-day John Watson showed me the World's 

 Fair championship medal which he had just received from the manu- 

 facturers for forwarding to its owner, Mr. Chas. Grim, of Clear 

 Lake, la., who left the matter of design, etc., to Mr. Watson. The 

 medal is a handsome one, with the usual diamond, the green wreath. 

 The face shows a miniature world for token, and the conceit of the" 

 world's championship is very happUy carried out in the detail. Both 

 front and obverse are Created simply and with reserve, and the gem is 

 one of real value. I believe this is the finest shooting medal I have 

 seen of its class, and one cannot escape the conviction that under the 

 stereotyped phrase, "value $li30," there is an actual and full value to 

 the dollar. It is a sterling medal and commemorative of a sterUne 

 event. E. Hough.
