Here is a Good String. 



Mr. H. R. Wills, of Alton, LI., drops into this office for a few brief 

 moments sometimes, when be is in town and can spare the time be- 

 tween important business engagements. A few side remarks led up 

 to the customary adjournment for a short time to a rifle gallery to 

 settle who is who. The fact that I have, been a well sustained consecu- 

 tive loser affords some data as to the present situation. Mr. Hough 

 holds Mr. Wills a very close race sometimes, and I think could beat 

 him, did not Mr. Wills have a very annoying habit of just keeping a 

 little ahead, no matter how hard pushed in competition by a com 

 petitor. Yet, he does it with such a gracious air and good hope for a 

 better performance the nest time by the loser, that I feel better to be 

 beaten by Mr. Wills than to beat any one else, Mr. Hough excepted. 

 Mr. Lahee referred to hereinafter, is also a hard man to compete 

 against, one who keeps his competitor anti-stargazing. From a 

 personal letter received from Mr. Wills, under date of Jan. 9, 1 quote 

 the following: 



'•I was inveigled into a 'shoot' yesterday by Mr. E. H. Lahee, who 

 evidently felt in good condition and was 'done up' to the Queen's taste. 

 Upon coming to the scratch, however, I found that I had left my 

 glasses at home, so there is some excuse for me. 1 wish to give you 

 the. score of 40 consecutive shots made by Mr. Lahee, at 100yds., Mass. 

 target, possible 480 The score is as follows: 



9 10 9 10 10 12 9 11 10 11 9 8 10 12 12 11 10 10 10 10 



9 10 10 11 10 10 9 9 11 11 10 12 11 10 10 11 9 11 12 10—409 



An average of over 10 points to a shot upon so long a string is re- 

 markable.'" B. Waters.

New Jersey Defeats Kings County. 



Tuesday, Jan. 9, was a cold and cheerless day, just the kind of a 

 day in fact when one with a choice in the premises would elect to re- 

 main in the vicinity of a warm stove. It was cold and cheerless for all 

 in the early hours, but for the members of the picked team of Kings 

 County experts it grew steadily colder and much more cheerless as 

 the day wore on, and they found that in running foul of a team of 

 New Jersey shooters, they (Kings County) had hit against a game 

 which was decidedly hard, harder in fact than any they had previously 

 tackled, so hard that after their eighteenth man had thot they lost all 

 their sand and failed to produce the two men to fill out the requisite 

 twenty. 



This match, which has been a prolific theme in the trap-shooting 

 world since last summer, was brought about through the efforts of 

 Jake Pentz, of the Newark Gun Club, and the agreement called for 

 teams of twenty men each, from New Jersey and Kings County, N. Y., 

 each man to shoot at 15 live pigeons, for a stake of $10 per man, the 

 losing team to pay expenses, match to be shot at Marion, N J, on 

 Jan. 9, beginning at 9:30 A. M. Despite the threatening aspect of the 

 weather the match attracted to tbe grounds the largest crowd seen 

 thei e for years, including many well known business men and sports- 

 men of New York, Brooklyn, Newark and other cities. 



Mr. Pentz had about thirty Jerseymen on the grounds from amoti" 

 whom Captain "Tee Kay" Keller was to select his team of twenty" 

 and it was expected that from the large number of shooters resident 

 in Kings County. Captain Walter A. Sykes would have no trouble in 

 mustering a full team. Mr. Walter A. Sykes was impressed into 

 service as referee, Messrs. JacoD Pentz and J. M. Taylor being official 

 scorers. The members of each team were paired off. a pair from tach 

 team alternating shooting until their full scores were finished. 



When the ninth pair had finished with the score 229 to 215 in favor 

 of Jersey, who had Neaf Apgar and Enoch D. Miller yet to shoot it 

 was discovered that the Kings County force had been exhausted, so the 

 race ended at this point. The scores of the race are here appended-

A Testimonial to Miss Annie Oakley. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The invitation of Miss Annie Oakley lately extended in "A Begging 

 Letter" to all American sportsmen, was a touching expression of her 

 feelings, while her desire to secure mementoes of sport to adorn a 

 room in her new house evinces her innate love of the field and its 

 trophies. But I fear that comparatively few will find opportunities to 

 visit her, no matter how much they may wish. a.nd still fewer have 

 specimens to send which are rare or of sufficient interest. 



Therefore, it may be, that her "Begging Letter" like many another , 

 may fail of its purpose. But I have a suggestion to make in the same 

 direction. The career of this young woman— for she is still young in 

 years— has been a remarkable one. She has been gifted by nature 

 with a talent of marksmanship unequalled in her sex, and has dis- 

 played it to the admiration of thousands and thousands in Europe and 

 America. Her professional life has been one continued series of 

 triumphs, and her private life has-been without a stain or suspicion 

 of reproach. She is as worthy in all the attributes of pure woman- 

 hood as she is distinguished in her public achievements. This has 

 been fully recognized abroad, and by reason of it, she has been thexe- 

 cipient of medals and tokens and badges of great value from persons 

 of high rank and social distination. But she has had none of any note 

 in her own country, and she deserves to have one here. 



Therefore, I suggest, that all the sportsmen of America unite in con- 

 tributing to a fund for an "Annie Oakley Testimonial." I think it 

 should be in the shape of something practical and useful in her beauti- 

 ful little home; for instance, a table service of solid silver, suitably 

 inscribed. 



I am authorized to say that Lieutenant Peter Gibson, 216 Main 

 street, Cincinnati, Ohio, will receive and acknowledge subscriptions:; 

 and I think that in order to popularize the offeriug, the sum of one 

 dollar ($1) should be fixed. There are many in this city who will 

 esteem it a privilege to subscribe a larger amount, but the sum I have 

 named is within the means of all, and it should be made a general, not 

 an exclusive token, Gloan. 



Spokane Rod and Gun Club. 



Spokane, Washington, Jan. 8.— The Spokane Rod and Gun Club held 

 their regular weekly shoot yesterday, and although the weather was 

 very cold the attendance was good. The A medal resulted iu a tie 

 between T. B. Ware, Carson and" Eckhardt, each scoring 21 birds, but 

 in the shoot off Ware proved too much for his opponents and again 

 won the medal, being the sixth time in succession. The B medal 

 changed hands again, being won by J.T.Duffy with a score of 20. 

 When Duffy joined the club last year he could only get about 2 or 3 

 out of the 30, but by hard practice and perseverance he has gradually- 

 come to the front and by his cool head and steady nerve has the 

 promise of being one of the best shots in the club, and unless some of 

 the old B class men wake up he will teach them a lesson before the 

 season is over.
