Newark vs. Parkway. 



The team match between teams from the Newark Gun Club of New 

 Jersey and the Parkway Rod and Gun Club of Brooklyn, witch has 

 been pending for many months, was shot off on Miller's Dexter Park 

 grounds on Thursday of last week. Last season teams of 15 men 

 from the two clubs met in Newark in a match at 10 birds per man, and 

 the Jersey men got the best of the Brooklynites by 3 birds. From that 

 day to the date of this match the members of the Parkway Club have 

 been nourishing the desire for an opportunity to again meet the 

 Newark Club team on the home grounds, where t hey hoped to show 

 up their shooting ability to better advantage, and" if possible send 

 their brethren from beyond the Hudson home with their feathers 

 drawn. The Jerseymen'in the Newark team are, however, of the kind, 

 that are hard to pluck. The many contests in which they have indi- 

 vidually and as a. team been engaged in has hardened them to such a 

 degree that only the expert in pigeon shooting has any show to down 

 them. 



The Parkway Club is made up from a membership that contains a 

 number of good amateur shots, but many of them do not get the prac- 

 tice necessary to put them on a par with the Newark team, and when 

 the match took place on Thursday several of the best men of the 

 Parkway team were either on the sick b>t or out of the city. 



The morning of the day of the match opened dull and drear, the 

 heavily clouded sky gave promise of a snowstorm, and the air, while 

 not extremely cold, had that disagr eeable, penetrating feeling that 

 comes from an atmosphere at this season of the year when heavily 

 charged with moisture. 



The Newark team, headed by Uncle Jake Pentz, was on the ground 

 in good season, prepared for f ife task that was before them. 



It was intended to shoot 15 men on a side, 10 birds each, but the 

 Newark team could only muster 14. including Jacob Pentz; the latter 

 was forced into service as a substitute. The old veteran borrowed a 

 gun and sweater and went to the trap in the last squad with Eddie 

 Collins, Helgaus and Van Wicklen. The Major killed his first four in 

 good, clean style, but the fifth surprised the old shooter by his erratic 

 movements and got safely away. The Major atoned for his loss by 

 killing the last five, giving him a total of 9. 



Louis Miller in anticipation of the wants of the competing teams for 

 good birds had his coops filled with the best to be had, and as the 

 match progressed, while the weather was against the birds, thev were 

 as good a lot of flyers, and required all the judgment and skill of the 

 shooters to stop them within the boundary line. There was during 

 the day many instances of long-range kills made by members of both 

 teams, and on the other hand some instances in which the shooters 

 earned the leather medal decorations for misses which should have 

 been kills. But shooting, like all other games, looks easy to the man 

 watching it. Out of the 28 men who composed the two teams oulv 

 one, Walker, of the Newark team, was able to kill his 10 birds. Five 

 of the Newark team killed !l each; four killed 8, two quit with 7 each, 

 one with ti, and Sam Castle brought up the rear with 5 kills to his 

 credit, They say that Sam will have a long grievance to atone for his 

 poor showing. 



Of the Parkways, Helgans, Short, Bftnnfcfc and Brora well each killed 

 '.), four killed 8, oue 7, two 0, one 5 and two 4 each. Some of the Park- 

 way team had not shot at a bird in a month and were drawn Into the 

 team because the better men were not available for this match. 



Followiug the team shoot came a series of sweeps, the first of which 

 was amiss and out affair to decide the second and third moneys in the 

 $8 pool put up at the beginning of the match by several members of 

 the two teams for the best scores made in the same. 



Lew Helgans thought t hat inasmuch as Sam Castle had only killed 

 5 of his 10 birds in t he match, he would be an easy mark for him. so he 

 challenged Sam for a live bird race. The latter "feeling That he ought 

 to do something to atone for his previous work accepted Lew's chal- 

 lenge. The result was a tie, each killing 7. 



In the other sweeps the Newark contingent got rather the best of 

 the deal, dividing the greater part of tha pools.' In looking after the 

 interest of t he members of the t wo teams in the matter of birds, mine 

 host Miller did not forget another adjunct that belongs to all well 

 regulated shooting tournaments, We refer to the lunch, that was 

 prepared by the French Chief, whom Mr. Miller had procured for the 

 occasion. His ham, roast turkey and other dishes in the meat line 

 were line. His chowder was beyond description, a combination of the 

 clam, oyster and chicken, in which the oyster and the chicken seemed 

 to prevail. It was the finest lunch set on a shooting ground iu many 

 months and there was many a stomach went away from Dexter that 

 night distended to its finest extent. Referee, Wm. Levens; Scorer, C.

Herron Hill Gun Club. 



Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 27.— Owing to the unprecedented success of 

 our late handicap live bird shoot, and yielding to the expressed desire 

 of a number of those who participated on Dec. 28, '93, the Herron Hill 



warm until the day of the shoot when it was about 10° above zero, 

 which made it so disagreeable that the attendance was not so large as 

 expected. But all of the shooters except three walked to the scratch 

 when their names were called. The scores were good considering the 

 cold weather as the birds were slow in starting, but were as good a lot 

 of flyers as ever left the trap. As you will see by the scores the 

 amateurs mostly carried off the money. The shooters from a distance 

 were: J. E. Wright, of Wheeling, W. Va. ; I. N. Crable, W. Hall, of 

 East Liverpool, O.; B. Greissinger, of Steubenville, O.; W. G. Clark, 

 of Altoona, Pa.; J. R. Nessmock. of Morgantown, W. Va.; E. N. 

 Gillespie, of Freeport, Pa. ; N. Johnston and J. A. Gordon, of Washing- 

 ton. Pa. First money $175 was divided between W. S. King, T. S. 

 Wall, 0. Hamilton and J. R. Nessmock; second money $ 105, was 

 divided between A. M. C. Jones and J. E. Wright; third money $70 

 was divided between II. B. Mohler and B. Greissinger. 



The next shoot will be on Feb. 22 or 24, handicap from 24 to 30yds.,

Arkansas State Tournament. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I am almost daily in receipt of letters from sportsmen all over the 

 country asking for programmes and general information concerning 

 our fourth auuual tournament, and to all those who have written I 

 Trill state (hat the programmes have not yet been printed and will not 

 be ready for distribution until about April 1, at which time I will take 

 pleasure in sending copies to all desiring them. The business men and 

 citizens of Fort Smith have signified their willingness to donate $1,000 

 by cash subscription, every cent of which will be added to the purses 

 given by the association. 



Besides the blnerocks there will he one or two live bird events each 

 day. Messrs. Joe P. Matthews and Harvey Dugan, of Fort Smith, 

 have charge of the management of the tournament, and all letters of 

 business connection therewith should be addressed to the former. 

 The railroads will all offer a reduced rate and it is needless to say that 

 we will have a successful tournament, and which all are invited to 

 attend. John J. Sumpster, Jr., Sec'y A. S. S. A. 



Crescent Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Crescent Gun Club at Miller's Dexter Park 

 grounds on Friday of last week was light iu attendance, but while the 

 number was small, the shooting energy displayed by those present 

 was equal to a score of the ordinary brand of trap shooters. 



In t he club event at 7 birds Presiden t Gilmore carried off the honors, 

 killing his 7 straight. Jacob Vaghts made a strong effort to keep pace 

 with the president, but the third bird that was trapped for Vagts was 

 a little too quick for the shooter. Coulston was unable to get on to 

 his birds, missing 6 out of the 7. 



Following the club event came a series of 3-bird sweeps, in which 

 Coulstou showed up in better form, killing 10 out of his 12. Following 

 the sweeps came a match between Coulstou and Vaghts, 10 birds each, 

 Coulston won, killing 10 straight to Vaght's 8. 



This was followed by a series of miss and out sweeps between 

 Coulstou aud \ T aghts, in which Coulston got the geld. In the fourth 

 sweep at 3 birds Coulston, Hilmer and Vaghts tied with 3 each for first 

 money. They each added $1 to the pool and shot off the tie ini=?s and 

 out. Hilmer dropped out on his first. Coulston missed on his fourth, 

 and Vaght's killing his gave him the pot. Scores:

Spokane Rod and Gun Club. 



Spokane, Washington, 89— The attendance at the Spokane Rod and

 for the first time this season and fell to the lot of J. B. Carson, who 

 did some good shooting. Duffy won the B class medal, this being his

West Jersey Gun Club Tournament. 



Camden, N. J., Jan. 31.— A little discussion about the difference in 

 shooting the old Ligowsky clay pigeon and the bluerock target, had 

 the effect of booming a one day tournament on the West Jersey Gun 

 Club grounds, one man saying he could break all the clay targete 

 thrown, and several others wanting to try them, a 50 bird event, !ffE 

 entrance was put on the program and to give it the right effect it was! 

 shot one man up at a time, standing in the middle and shooting out: 

 the five traps. As there were fourteen entries, there were of course 

 four moneys and a great surprise was in store for some of the great 

 clay bird shooters, the man who did most of the blowing being among 

 the lowest scores, and the highest score being made by our old frienc 

 S. Jones, who has not been shooting targets much of late but who! 

 showed the boys that he had not forgotten how to point his gun, by 

 breaking his last straight, making a total of 47. J. W. Budd came in a 

 good second with 46, H. Thurman third with 45. A. J. Bird fourth 

 with 44, and as this took all the money some of the others that could! 

 not reach these figures withdrew. 



While this race was being shot off, sweepstake shooting was going- 

 on on another set of traps at bluerocks; rapid firing and some excellent- 

 scores were made during the day, Hall making five straights of 10 

 targets each. H. Thurmen five straights of 10 targets; Landis four 

 straights of 10 each and one of 15; Henry four straights of 10 and one 

 of 15; Bird two of 10 targets each; David one and Learning one. 



The entertainment of the club given to shooters and their friends^ 

 was a great treat. J. Learning and H. Moore know how to keep the 

 boys in a good humor and run a shoot at the same time, but their 

 club should have given them more help. If they are connected with 

 another shoot the boys will turn out en masse to make it a success.

Opening Shoot of the Unions. 



Springfield, N. J., Jan. 25.— The first monthly shoot of the Union 

 Gun Club for the season of 1894 took place to-day under very unfavor' 

 able weather, as the appended scores serve to prove. The wind blew 

 a gale from right to left across the line of traps, and as the shooting 

 was all from three traps, unknown angles, it would have been impos' 

 sible for the most expert shot to make a fair average. The left-quar- 

 tering target would start all right but before one could shoot it became 

 a right-quartering incomer. The straightaway target became a fast 

 towerer and the right-uuarterer was beyond description. One of our 

 club members would like Mr. Tenner, with his scientific instruments 

 for gauging velocity, to figure out and make known the correct lead 

 in order to break a left-quartering target going down grade at the 

 rate of about a thousand miles a second, so that we may pull even at 

 our next shoot. 



After the regular club shoot, in which eleven members took part, 

 there was a team shoot for four-men teams at fifty targets per man) 

 the teams being captained respectively by Dr. Jackson and L. T 

 Terry. 



Before the close of the shoot the participants received from Dr 

 Jackson an invitation to spend the evening at his home and assist hiu 

 in disposing of a turkey supper. As the outcome of the invitation, at 

 6:10 P. M. fifteen hungry marksmen wended their way to the Doctor's 

 residence and were soon engaged in discussing t he elegant repast pre 

 pared under the careful supervision of caterer A. Rhoades. Some o: 

 our members thought that our scores of the day should have causec 

 us to be put on a mush and milk diet, but this sentiment did not de 

 tract from our enjoyment of the Doctor's spread. After supper tb* 

 party adjourned to the parlor and the rest of the evening was passec 

 in a sociable manner. Several members regaled the party with thril 

 ling stories of big game hunting in the Rockies. Before "good night'i 

 was said it was decided to hold another team contest, at the Februarj 

 shoot, the teams to be captained by L. T. Terry and Dr. Jackson. Ar 

 rangements were also made for a match at 100 targets each betweea 

 A. Sickley and E. D. Miller.
