FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 18, 1894. 



New Year's Day at Dexter. 



Louis Miller's New Year's cards inviting his friends and patrons to 

 attend his New Year's shoot on Monday last, was the means of bring- 

 ing together an agreeable and enthusiastic group of shotgun de- 

 votees. 



The day was fine, the "air tempered to that degree that mates one's 

 overcoat a burden. The events of the day were divided into 12 events ; 

 9 at targets and 3 at birds. 



The first event at 10 targets had 8 entries. Fred Thompson of the 

 Vernon Gun Club, broke 9 for first money. Messrs. Wood and Floyd 

 tied with 8 each for second. 



Second event. 10 birds, 7 entries. W. H. Thompson first with 10; F. 

 A. Thompson second, 9. 



Third event, 10 targets, 7 entries. W. H. Thompson, Ferris and 

 Heyer second with 8 each. 



Fourth event, 10 targets, 7 entries, Heyer first with 9, Wood second 

 with 8. 



Fifth event, 10 targets, 9 entries. Osterhout first with 9, Ferris 

 second with 8, W. H. Thompson, F. A. Thompson and Soper third with 

 7 each. 



Sixth event, 10 targets, 8 entries. Ferris first with 10, Woods second 

 with 9, Heyer and Osterhout third with 6 each. 



Seventh event, 10 targets, 9 entries. Brown, Woods, Heyer, Schorte- 

 meier and F. A, Thompson first with 8 each. Osterhout, Ferris and 

 W. H. Thompson second with 5 each. 



Eighth event, 10 targets, 8 entries. Woods first with 9, Schortemeier 

 and Thompson second with 8. 



Ninth event, 10 targets, 9 entries: Thompson first, with 10, Schorte- 

 meier second, with 8, Bo wen third, with 7. 



The tenth event brought a change from the monotony of targets to 

 live birds. This event brought together 12 contestants, 5 buds each. 

 Schortemeier, Bowen and Thompson tied with clean scores. 



The eleventh event, 7 birds, 16 entries, was an interesting sweep. 

 The birds were good and strong, and in most instances when the traps 

 were opened the birds made good flight for the next county. Fessen- 

 den, Schortemeier and C. H. Meyer dropped all of their birds inside 

 the boundary and got clean scores to their credit. Osterhout slipped 

 up on his last bird and fiuished with 6 kills to his credit. Wood and 

 Kellenstroth also killed 6 each, Otten, Schumacher, Johns. Bowen and 

 Simpson 5 each, Morey, F. A. Thompson, Dr. Little and Keim 4 each; 

 C. Meyer, while last, with 3, got about as much of the pot as the others, 

 for he had no division to make. 



The twelfth event was a miss and out affair with 6 entries. Otten 

 and Bowen dropped out on the second round. Schortemeier on the 

 fourth and Dr. Little on the fifth. Smith and Thompson then divided.

The South Side's Annual. 



This year for the thirteenth consecutive time the members and 

 friends of the enterprising South Side Gun Club, of Newark. N. J., 

 assembled on the club grounds to enjoy the New Year's "annual" 

 shoot, which has become a State fixture. The day was all that could 

 be desired, with its bright sunshine and balmy air. The attendance 

 was good, as in former years, there being a number of out of town 

 shooters present. Among the visitors were Harry and Ed Landis and 

 Mr. '-Henry," of Philadelphia; John W. Hoffman, of German Valley; 

 Ferd. Van Dyke, of Dayton; E. D. Miller, of Springfield: Dr. Crane, of 

 Railway; J. W. Smith, of Grange; Crevelling and Strader, of Jersey 

 City; Van Iderstine, of Orange: O. L. Yeomans, of Maplewood; J. B. 

 McCullum, of Irvington; Hibbard, of Elizabeth; Walters, of Arlington ; 

 N, G, Money, of Oakland; Craft, of Irvington; "Dutchy" Smith and 

 "Tee Kay" Keller, of Plaiufield, Sickley of South Orange. 



An abundant and tasteful lunch was provided by Day, the well- 

 known Newark caterer. A rousing fire was kept going in the shoot- 

 ing house, and in every way possible the comfort of the shooters was 

 attended to. Messrs. Hobart, Terrill and Breintnall were the manag- 

 ing committee. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the sport began and 

 between that time and 4:30 P. M. over 3,600 bluerock targets were 

 thrown. 



The result of the day's sport is appended:

The Manufacturers' Trap-Shooting Association. 



manager's report for 1893 

 The Manufacturers' Trap Shooting Association was organized for 

 the joint purpose of keeping up or creating renewed interest in trap 

 shooting, give the shooters of America something to shoot for, make 

 a little money for the clubs on whose grounds ths tournaments were 

 held, and display the goods of the members of the association on the 

 tournament grounds. With such well-known and popular gentlemen as 

 C. W. Dimick, H. McMurchy, A. G. Courtney, M. F. Lindsley. W. Fred 

 Quimby. Arthur DuBray, Thomas Keller and G. Harry Squires, the 

 association was a pronounced success from the start. The following 

 well-known manufacturers, dealers and publishers comprised the 

 active and honorary membership of the association: Active members: 

 Cleveland Target Co., American Wood Powder Co., Hunter Arms Co., 

 Lefever Arms Co., Parker Bros., United States Cartridge Co.. W. Fred 

 Quimby Co., Henry C. Squires and Montgomery Ward '& Co. Honor- 

 ary members: American Field Pub. Co., Forest and Stream Pub, Co., 

 Shooting and Fishing Pub. Co., Sporting Goods Dealer and Sporting 

 Goods Gazette, 



A neat and attractive programme for each tournament was pub- 

 lished, with the ads. of the different members of the association 

 therein. Two hundred dollars and an elegant gold trophy were given 

 away at each tournament, and one cent apiece for every target thrown 

 was given to the clubs. The association purchasing the targets and 

 paying all expenses of the tournament, it thus accomplished its pur- 

 poses, keeping up and creating a renewed interest in the shooting, as 

 there were always more shooters on the second day than the first, and 

 making a nice little sum of money for the club. The goods of the dif- 

 ferent members were displayed in the large tent of the association, 

 guns were there to be used by any person who wished to use them, 

 shells loaded with wood powder were always an hand and distributed 

 free gratis among the shooters, and many a convert was received from 

 the black powder ranks. Paul North's electric pull and the expert 

 bluerock trap also displayed their admirable workings. Other mem- 

 bers not having anj T goods to display, distributed catalogues and circu- 

 lars. In this way each member was amply repaid for their expendi- 

 tures by this practical form of advertisement. The liberality of asso- 

 ciation was appreciated and many letters of thanks and approval were 

 published. 



To this association is also due the credit of introducing new and 

 interesting styles of shooting which were innovations ou the old and 

 monotonous style of rapid-fire system, the one man up, unknown 

 traps and angles, and the one man up, 21yds. rise, use of both barrels, 

 were the most popular events of the tournaments, the paying so 

 much for each place to each person in those events is also far ahead 

 of the old style of percentage division, so taking all in all the Manu- 

 facturers' Trap-Shooting Association feel highly elated at the success 

 of its tournaments, and the feeling of appreciation existing among 

 those participating in its tournaments from the first one held at 

 Savannah, Ga., in March to the last one at Allentovvu, Pa., in Septem- 

 ber. This association did not try to throw a great number of targets 

 and shoot out shooters, therefore the number of targets thrown is not 

 up to the number thrown at an average tournament, the one man up 

 events taking up a good deal of time. Below is the number of targets 

 thrown at each tournament, moneys paid to each club, money and 

 trophies given away at each tournament, and total:

Bath Gun Club. 



Bath, Me., Dec. 28.— There was only a small attendance at the Xmas 

 shoot of the Bath Gun Club owing to the bad weather, rain and fog. 

 The targets used were the Bostou black target, sprung from bluerock 

 expert traps, and they had to be broken within 25yds, of the trap or 

 they were lost in th« fog and scored a lost bird, which will account for 

 the unevenness of the score. Shooting commenced at 10 o'clock and 

 continued until dark. Lunch was served at club house at 12;30. 



The principal event of the day was a 100-target race, $5 entrance, 3 

 moneys, between four of the experts of the club, Jones, Bates, Led- 

 yard and Merrill. I inclose score in detail, which was so unsatisfac- 

 tory to the shooters that they will try it again at the first opportunity.

Crescent Gun Club. 



The Crescent Gun Club opened up the year 1894 with a monthly 

 shoot at Dexter Park on Jan. 4. Previous to the regular club event 

 two of the members, Messrs. Shepherd and Coulston, shot off an indi- 

 vidual match at 25 birds each. This match was the outcome of many 

 others which were shot on these grounds during the past season, and 

 this one, like most of the others, was won by Shepherd by a very 

 small margin, good enough to win with, but to the loser how exas- 

 perating, only one bird. So near and yet so far. The.birds were very 

 good and many got away from the trap and the shooter apparently 

 untouched. The swarm of pot-hunters on the outside, however, made 

 short work of the most of those that went over the line. In the club 

 event H. Rathjen was the only member to make a clean score. The 

 second money went to Coulston, Vagts and Pickett, with 4 each. A 

 series of 3 bird sweeps followed the club event, in which the honors 

 were easy:
