The Great Live Bird Shoot. 



The inaugural tournament for 1893 was the "Grand American Handi- 

 cap" at live birds, which was decided at Dexter Park, L. I., April 5, 6 

 and 7. This event was at 25 live birds, $35 entrance, 31yds. boundary 

 around each trap, handicaps ranging from 25 to Sayds., and the three 

 highest scores to take the purse. The Interstate Manufacturers' and 

 Dealers' Association added $300 to first money. There were 21 entries 

 and 3 forfeits. Robert A. Welsh won first money, $477.60; Noel E. 

 Money won second money, $166 50; George Work won third money, 

 $111. During the tournament 1,356 live birds were trapped. 



The success of this handicap led the association to decide on a sim- 

 ilar contest for 1894, under slightly altered conditions, viz.: 25 hve 

 birds, $35 entrance, 50yds. boundary with a dead line, handicaps 

 ranging from 25 to 83yds., and $1,000 guaranteed by the Interstate 

 Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association. There is every reason to 

 beheve that in course of time this contest will be looked upon as the 

 greatest pigeon-shooting event in the United States, and will attract 

 shooters from abroad.

 20, under the auspices of the Passaic Cits' Gun Club, and $500 were
