Live Birds and Zero Weather at Roxburgh, 



On Buckhorn Creek, in Warren county, N. J, , nestles the picturesque 

 little Tillage of Roxburgh, and about three miles from the village 

 proper, on the side of the mountain is the well-known hostelry of 

 Theodore Pearson, one of the most popular bonifaces in this region. 

 Mr. Pearson is fond of sport, fishing being his hobby, but next to this 

 he loves a contest at the trap, particularly when live pigeons are the 

 targets. Up in his region there is no difficulty in procuring pigeons, 

 and good ones at that, hard-fleshed, quick-flying country birds that 

 need no urging to fly when the trap is sprung. 



He recently formed the opinion that a I wo days' tournament would 

 be a "go," and taking his chances on the weather made arrangements 

 to hold it on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 15 and 36, and as fate would 

 have it he could not have chosen two more unfavorable days. The 

 weather cold as Greenland and all the railroad trains more or less 

 impeded by snow, it was no wonder that on the opening day only a 

 trio of visitors appeared and that these were willing to seek the shelter 

 of the hostelry after facing the blinding snow storm during three 

 5-bird sweeps, at $5 entry. The scores in these were as below: 



No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 



Wm Holges..,,. 12310-4 12318—5 11322-5

F Van Syckle .02200-2 12211-5 2210w. 



F Wagner , „ „ 11121—5 10102—3 12120—4 



On the second day it was extremely cold and the wind blew strong 

 and fierce from the* northwest, but the attendance was considerably 

 improved, Neaf Apgar, Milt. Lindsley, Will Park and Capt. "Jones" 

 having come over from the Reading shoot, and these along with Wm. 

 Apgar, of Frenchtown; M. H. Ruppell, of Milford, and "Big Jim" L. 

 Smith, of Hackettstown, made quite a good showing along with those 

 previously on hand. The birds, good as they would have been at any 

 time, were "corkers" when helped by a. 30-mile wind, The result of 

 the day's shooting is here shown: 



No. 1, No. 2. No. 3. No. .4

Nos. 1 and 4 was at 5 birds, $5 entry; No. 3 at 4 birds, $3 entry, and 

 No 3 at 7 birds, $5 entry. 



No. 5 was a $1 miss and out in which Ruppell, Jones and Smith 

 captured the pot on the second round, shooting out W. Apgar, Holges 

 Lindsley, Bronnell and Van Syckle. 



No. 6, same as above: Ruppell, W. Apgar and Smith killed 3 each 

 and divided the pot, Jones going out an the third round, and Holges, 

 Lindsley and Bronnell each on the first. 



No. 7, the final event,, was another $1 rniss-and-out, in which Lindsley 

 and Jones were the stayers, killing 9 each to win the pot. Ruppell 

 lost his ninth bird, Holges his sixth, W. Apgar his fourth, Bronnell 

 and Smith each their second. 



Maplewood vs. Washington. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Herewith I hand you scores made at our tournament on Washing- 

 ton's Birthday. Shooting began at 10 o'clock A. M. and continued 

 until dark. The weather was all that could be desired. A large num- 

 ber of shooters were present and a goodly number of spectators. The 

 interest of the day centered in the team match between the Union Gun 

 Club of Springfield, N. J., and the home team, and as the scores show, 

 resulted in a walkover for the LTnions. This is the third target race 

 between the two clubs, honors being even, each being credited with a 

 win, and one race a tie. The next match will be held on the grounds 

 of the Union Club on Decoration Day, and will be war to the knife and 

 knife to the hilt. Whoso scalps will dangle?

Findlay Gun Club. 



Findlay, O.— I herewith inclose the scores made in this city by mem 

 bers of the Findlay Gun Club on Feb. 22. The weather was very cold 

 and a high wind was blowing which prevenled some of the shooters 

 from making their usual high scores. In justice to some of the other 

 shooters who made low scores I may say that several of them are begin- 

 ners in the art of trap-shooting. They promise that we shall hear from 

 them later. Bluerocks were used and they were thrown from five 

 traps: 



No. 1, 10 bluerocks: Evans 7, Minnich 10, Barton 3, Hodge. 8. 

 No. 2, team shoot between Messrs. Hodge and Ritter and Messrs. 

 Evans and Minnich, 25 birds per man:

Nassau Gun Club. 



The members of the Nassau Gun Club had a fine day's sport at 

 Miller's Dexter Park on Friday of last week. It was the club's regular 

 monthly shoot. The weather was fine, with a good strong wind to 

 hurry the birds along in their flight. The birds seemed to recognize 

 the quality of the shooters at the traps, and as soon as they were re- 

 leased from their captivity they made good time in trying to get be- 

 yond the boundary line. T. T. Edgerton had the misfortune to burst 

 his gun in the beginning of the shoot, and was compelled to resort to 

 a strange gun. The result was that he shot in poor form. Each man 

 shot at 10 birds, club handicap, American Association rules:

New York German Gun Club. 



The New York German Gun Club had a fine day's sport with the 

 live birds at Miller's Dexter Park on Wednesday of last week. Twenty- 

 three members were on hand to compete for the club medals, 8 birds 

 each, American Association rules. Five tied for the first and second 

 medal with 7 each. In shoot off Thomf or d won first and Sauter second.

Paul North Waxes Sarcastic. 



Cleveland, O., Feb. 19.— For the past month or so those of us who 

 have met Harvey McMurchy have been aware that something tre- 

 mendous was going to happen, as there has been such an air of 

 intellectual superiority hovering about him and he has walked or 

 rather stalked about with his head so far above the clouds, that we 

 ordinary mortals have been glad that we were permitted to even touch 

 his robes. 



In order to prove the fallacy of his idea, although candidly I am 

 afraid it will prove the correctness of it, but for heaven's sake don't 

 let him know it, we will run our set of traps on Monday, June 18, the 

 day before our tournament, and divide the money according to his 

 system (that is if we can get any to shoot that way), and another set 

 with the ordinary system in use. 



In connection with his system of money division we will spring upon 

 the public a new arrangement of traps and system of shooting, that 

 required in the originating of same a much higher grade of intelligence 

 than was required in solving his problem. In proof of this we would 

 say that although the new trap arrangement has been explained to 

 him in detail two or three times, he has failed to grasp the idea suffi- 

 ciently to explain same to others to whom he can only say, "It is a 

 mighty good arrangement but I cannot tell you just how it works out." 



Now any one can quickly grasp his simple problem and the wonder 

 is that some one else did not stumble on it long ago. Hoping that his 

 many friends will see the great danger he is in and will rush to his 

 rescue, I remain, Paul North.

Washington's Birthday at Dexter Park. 



The annual shoot on Feb. 22 at Dexter Park, which has come to bB 

 known as Billy Mills's day, was held this year under favorable auspices, 

 so far as the weather was concerned. The day was mild and pleasant. 

 The five traps had their strings set at a good strong tension, so that 

 when released by the electric pull the targets were sent far into the 

 field on a rapid flight. W. H. Thompson, on his last entry, succeeded 

 in making a clean score of 20 breaks, beating his brother's score of 18, 

 which had stood high all the forenoon. Woods, Dutchy, Sohortemeyer 

 and Floyd were tied with 16, Ferrish alone with 15, and Heyer, Levens, 

 Smith and Doeinck: each with 14. There were nine prizes. Eleven 

 men were eligible. To decide who of the four lowest should drop out, 

 the toss of the coin was resorted to. Levens and Doeiuck were the 

 unfortunates who drew the blanks. The scores of the winners are 

 appended in their order;

Live Bird Match at Utica. 



Utica, N. Y., Feb. 19.— Inclosed I hand you scores of return match, 

 shot on Oneida County Sportsman's Association grounds, by Dr, W. 

 H. Booth and A. S. Hunter, at 100 live birds each, American* Associa- 

 tion rules, birds trapped by John Fulford, match refereed by H. L. 

 Gates. The first 50 birds trapped could not be classed as good, al- 

 though a few were as good as ever left a trap. The last 50 were extra 

 good ones with a few corkers thrown in. After the match two 10-bird 

 sweeps were shot by E. D. Fulford, John Halford, A. S. Hunter, John 

 Cummings, Jr. and H. L. Gates. The State tournament is to be held 

 here in June, under the auspices of the association. We are now re- 

 ceiving very favorable replies and generous donations from manufac- 

 turers and dealers in sporting goods. These with cash prizes of 

 about $3,000, guaranteed by the club, bids far to make one of the finest 

 programmes ever offered at a State meeting.

 President; Will. H. Nigh. Vice-President, and Captain; W. W. Williams, 

 Sec'y; E L. Harper, Treas. We shoot every Monday. We had quite 

 a time with the City Council, but finally got an ordinance permitting 

 us to shoot inside the city limits. None of us are experts as ret, the 

 b63t score 45 out of 50 by the president. J. D.

Where to Find Game. 



Where to find game is oftentimes a perplexing question. The sports- 

 man who strikes a good spot generally keeps the information as close 

 as possible, in order to enjoy exclusive privileges. 



Along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Virginia and 

 West Virginia, such places are numerous, and it is remarkable how 

 little they are known. The mountain streams abound in gamy fish. 

 The South Branch of the Potomac is considered the best black bass 

 fishing stream in America, the Cheat, Youghiogheny, Potomac and 

 Monongahela Rivers are all excellent fishing streams. The hills and 

 valleys adjacent are fairly alive with game — partridge, wild turkey, 

 grouse, pheasant, wild pigeon, quail, rabbit and squirrel are plentiful, 

 and in the back country thirty or forty miles from the railroad, deer 

 and bear can be found. 



Good hotels are convenient, and horses and guides can be secured at 

 reasonable rates.
