FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Nov. 18, 1898. 



Election Day at Dexter Park. 



In order to accommodate some of his regular patrons, whose politi- 

 cal aspirations are "passe," Louis Miller opened his grounds on 

 Election Day for live birds and bluerocli shooting. 



The shooting opened with a sweep at 15 bluerocks, in which Shorte- 

 meyer and Phister divided first. The second event was at 6 live birds, 

 which went to Piiister, with a clear score. The third event was a 

 repetition of the second and resulted in a tie between Phister, Fessen- 

 den and Shortemeyer, with 5 kills eaf'.h. The fourth was the same as 

 the second and third, and was won by Fessenden with a clean score. 

 The fifth event was at 1.5 blueroclis. The result was a tie between 

 Shortemeyer and Short, each with 13 brealjs to their credit. The 

 sixth and last event of the day was at 10 bluerocks, 6 entries. In this 

 sweep Shortemeyer came to the front with 9 breaks to his credit. 

 The scores.

Crescent Gun Club. 



^The monthly shoot of the Orescent Gun Club at Louis Miller's Dex- 

 ter Park grounds, on Thursday, Nov. 2, brought together only five 

 members m the regular club event. A match between Capt. Shep- 

 hard and J. W. Coulston, at 25 birds each, both of whom are members 

 of the club, which was shot off just previous to the club event, was 

 robbed of much of its interest on account of Coulston's inability to 

 give the Captain a close race. The birds were as a lot good, hardy 

 flyers, and Capt. Shephard, although a good shot, could only bring 19 

 of them to grass. If Coulston will only remove the extreme drop in 

 the stock of his gun to the normal, he will find that his birds will be 

 more liable to receive the contents of his cartridges. Extreme drop 

 in gun stocks is one of the failings of the novice in trap-shooting. In 

 the club event at 7 birds, L. Hopkins was high with a clean score to 

 his credit. He was, however, kept on the "ragged edge" by President 

 Gilman up to the end of the contest, when the latter dropped out with 

 a clean miss on his seventh and last bird.' 



After the close of the club event the members indulged in a series of 

 sweepstakes at 3 birds, miss and out. Hopkins continued his good 



form by killing all his birds. John Cottier, a man prominent in Kings 

 county politics, came on to the grounds late in the day and tried his 

 new Diamond Daly ejector at the birds. Want of practice and the 

 new gun, coupled with the good quality of the birds, was too much of 

 a handicap for Mr. Cottier. The scores:

Parkway Rod and Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Parkways at Dexter Park on Wednesday, 

 Nov. 8, did not have its usual representation of class members. The 

 election the day previous and the hunting season now on were no 

 doubt responsible for the light attendance. Of the first class members 

 Leo Helgans was the only one on the ground, and the result was 

 that he had a walkover for the A class prize, on a score of five out of 

 seven. In Class B there were four entries, and the class winners 

 proved to be H. Bramwell, with a clean score of seven kills to his 

 cr-dit. In Class C Col. Selover got the bulge on his class competitors 

 and captured the parachute on a clean score. The club appropriates 

 a certain amount each month for the purchase of prizes to be divided 

 between the three classes. On this occasion the prizes were three silk 

 umbrellas. There is also a gold medal, which goes to the member 



who makes the best score at each monthly meeting, the same to bg 

 worn by the member winning it until the next monthly shoot The^ 

 result of the club event was a tie between Bramwell of Class B and 

 Col. Selover of Class C. In the shoot off Bramwell won the medal 

 with two kills out of three to Selover's one. After BramweU had paid 

 the penalty to which all such honors are subjected, a sweep at three 

 birds, miss-and-out, was made up with eleven entries. The result was 

 a victory for Lee Helgans on his ninth bird. The scores are appended:

Nassau Gun Club. 



The Nassau Gun Club held its monthly shoot at Louis Miller s 

 Dexter Park grounds on Tuesday, Oct. 31, eight members participat- 

 ing. The regular club event called for 10 birds per man, American 

 Association rules. The shoot was opened at such a late hour in the 

 afternoon that there was no opportunity for sweepstake shooting, 

 and the consequence was the shooting was confined to the club event. 

 The birds were a fairly good lot, and there were some instances in 

 which the ability of the shooter and the quality of his gun and 

 cartridges was made prominent. An interesting feature of the shoot 

 was the shooting off of the tie between Messrs. Selover and Young. 

 Both killed 10 straight in the regular event. Jim Bennett was also a 

 tie with them, but in the shoot off, 3 birds, miss and out, Bennett 

 dropped out. Messrs. Selover and Young fought it out nip and tuck 

 to the eleventh bird, when Young slipped up on an easy left quarter- 

 ing incoming bird. It was one of those shots where the over confidence 

 of the shooter plays havoc with his winning chances. The scores are 

 appended :
