Syracuse Gun Club. 



Syracuse, N. Y., March 24,— The following scores were made by 

 members of the Syracuse Gun Club to-day on their Croton street 

 grounds, under the new management of Elder Forsythe. The traps 

 were all in better shape than at the previous shoot and worked per- 

 fectly. Some good scores would have been made had the wind not 

 been quite so strong and tricky and carried the targets out of the pat- 

 terns. The wind was in the right direction, however, to blow the 

 smoke of the "soft coal burners"' back in their faces:

Aaron Woodruff vs. Charles Smith. 



Despite the drizzling rain which rendered outdoor lifei miserable up 

 to 3 P. M. on Friday, March 23, about 200 lovers of trap-shooting 

 journeyed to Marion to witness the match between Charles Smith of 

 Plamneld and Aaron Woodruff of Elizabeth. The match had been 

 well advertised, and had the weather been clear during the earlier 

 hours, the audience would have been mucb larger. Among those who 

 witnessed the exhibition were Jas. A. R. Elliott and Ferd. Van Dyke, 

 representing the Winchester Arms Co.; W. Fred. Quitnby, the c&nvas 

 and leather sporting goods man; Rollo Heikes, the target champion 

 and rapid-fire expert; 0. M. Hedden and Asa Whitehead, of Newark: 

 W. G. Hollis, of Kearney; "Uncle Billy" Hughes, of Jersev City: 

 MoseMulford and Wm. Clark, of Elizabeth; T. W Morfey and T C 

 Wright, of Paterson; Wm. Lever and Frank Batsch, of Elizabeth: 

 Dan Terry, Ed. Campbell, W. S. Pierson, Wally Squires and W. Terry, 

 of Plainfleld; Jos. Compton of Irvington, and John Benner, of Fan- 

 wood. 



Neaf Apgar of Henry C. Squires's, was referee, and "Tee Kay" 

 Keller wes scorer. The birds were furnished by Al. Heritage, and a 

 fine lot of hard-plumaged flyers they were, too fast and tricky hy far 

 tor the men who were shooting at them, as the scores will show. The 

 low scores, however, do Dot denote that the shooting was altogether 

 bad, but simply that the birds were a little better. 



One thing was demonstrated in the second quarter, and that was 

 that while the genial "Dutchy" has few superiors as a team or Bweep- 

 stake shooter, he will get rattled in a match. And Woodruff, too, 

 showed a little nervousness on the third quarter, although four of his 

 nine lost birds fell dead out of bounds. Smith is not satisfied with the 

 result and another match may be made. The scores follow:

Morfey of Paterson vs. Greiff of Carlstadt. 



With a genuine London fog lying close to the ground, prompting 

 the birds to fly low and almost biding from view at times those which 

 needed a long second, T. W. Morfey of Paterson and Gus Greiff, Von 

 Lengerke & Detruold's representative, faced the traps at Willard's 

 Park on Wednesday. March 21. in a match at 50 live birds for $50 a 

 side, under Hurlingham rules, 50yds. boundary. A fair-sized audi- 

 ence saw the match. 



Greiff was badly out of condition, having suffered with the malaria 

 for several weeks. Some of his work was splendid, but at times a 

 languid manner could readily be detected. Morfey shot well, better in 

 fact than he expected to, as he had been troubled with a severe cold 

 contracted at Woodlawn Park duriug his match with C'oulston. Greiff 

 was in decidedly hard luck in having eight birds fall dead out of 

 bounds, Morfey naving four the same way. 



Morfey's 7th reached the fence to die, taking along a double charge 

 of shot; 10th, a fast twister killed at long range; 13th, the same kind; 

 15th, fast, driver to left, died just over boundary; 17th, ditto; 21st, fell 

 and got under wire to die; 28th, a black and wnite bird, fast, hit very 

 hard but got outside wire fence; 43d, a good fast bird grassed with 

 first, but got up and had to get the second before turning over; 48th, 

 fast driver which required quick second at long range. Morfey used a 

 ij^lbs. Greener, 46grs. American E. C. powder and l^drs. No. 7 shot 

 in both barrels. 



Greiff had some extra hard birds and at times made some splendid 

 shots, in fact some of the prettiest of kills at long range were shown. 

 His 3d bird was killed with a fine first at long distance; 4th and 5th, 

 both hit hard, but scaled the fence, as did his 12th, 20th and 21st; the 

 12th alighted on the fence and fell dead outside; the 20th was good 

 enough for any one to lose; 30th, awfully fast and hit very hard with 

 both charges, still managing to go outside to die. His 35th, fast, and 

 should have come to grass, still got over the wire; the 40th was a 

 pretty kill at long distance of a fast bird; his 41st was a slow one, 

 hard hit but carried his loads to the stand; 43d another long kill; 45th, 

 very fast and well stopped, dropped at Greiff'sfeet: 4Sth got both 

 barrels full but would not stop, very fastand tough; 49th wasapretty 

 stop with a well aimed second. Greiff used a 7^1b. Francotte, Scbultze 

 powder, IJ-goz. No. 6 shot in the right and No. 7~in the left barrel. 



The referee was John H. Outwater, of Rutherford; trap-puller, W, 

 G. Hollis, and scorer, Wm. Dutcher. Below are the scores:

Great Shooting at Carteret. 



One of the most interesting matches ever shot in this vicinity and 

 one in which the contestants were of the crime de la crime among 

 the trap shooters of the section, took place at Bergen Point on the 

 grounds of the Carteret Club, on Friday, under conditions that in part 

 could be called favorable for the birds but not quite so favorable for 

 the shooters. During the early part of the day a drizzling rain made 

 everybody feel uncomfortable. At 11:45, when the match began, it 

 was misty and foggy, this making the light bad and favoring the 

 birds. Shortly after noon the fog and mist cleared away and the sun 

 i howed its beaming face. As though the clerk of the weather had a 

 special grudge against the shooters the strength of the wind increased 

 m proportion as the light improved and the last half of the race was 

 shot in a gale. 



The principals in the race were Charles Maealester, of Riverton. 

 and George Work, of New York, who shot against Fred Hoey, of Long 

 Branch, and L. S. Thompson. The conditions were 100 birds per man, 

 30yds. rise, 2) yds. boundary, for a stake said to be $500 a side. The 

 birds were of the best, in fact once off the ground any kind of a bird 

 would have become a "rocket" with the wind during the latter half of 

 the race. John S. Hoey was referee. 



The disappointment of the day was the showing made by the' 

 veteran .Maealester, who was low man of the quartette, scoring only 

 79 kills. That he was out of form was plainly apparent. He had hard 

 luck, however, in losing 5 birds dead out of bounds. Hoey lost 7„ 

 Thompson 6 and AVork 3, the same way. The wind and boundary 

 were almost wholly responsible for the above losses as all the birds; 

 were hit hard and would have been scored in a 50yds. boundary.. 

 Some brilliant work was done at times. The finest exhibition was by 

 Thompson, who made a straight run of 43 kills; Hoey made a run of 

 26 ; Work one of 34 and one of 24. 



The score by quarters was Hoey nnd Thompson, 48, 92, 133, 176;: 

 Work and Maealester, 46, 91, 13?, 170. The time of the race was four 

 hours and ten minutes. Below will be found the scores in full:

New Utrecht Gun Club. 



Woodlawn Pabk, March 24.— The following were all $3 sweeps, 

 50yds. boundary, 30yds. rise, with the exception of Conney Furgueson 

 (aged 11), who with bis featherweight 20-gauge stood at 21yds. As 

 good a lot of birds as any man could desire. W. Leib, who supplies 

 all our birds, is to bfl congratulated. His heart is right in the busi- 

 ness and he rarely fails to get a clipping lot together. The proudest 

 boy in the State to-night is little Conney, who divided first money in 

 sweep 5 with J. A. R. Elliott as he remarked. "Me and Jim is the cham- 

 pions." Scores:

A Rainy Day at Springfield. 



A drizzling rain which made everybody feel cold, dreary and miser-, 

 able, ana a dense fog at times which made it almost impossible to 

 draw a bead on live bird or target, were the weather conditions on, 

 March 21, the day when E. D. Miller expected to greet a big crowd of ' 

 shooters on the Union Gun Club grounds at Springfield. Tbe weather." 

 however, was too heavy for the majority of smoothbore devotees' 

 and only a half dozen appeared. As a matter of course the big sweep! 

 was declared off. A couple of 7 bird sweeps were shot, the entry feei 

 being g5, with two moneys. These resulted as below:

Pansy Gun Glub. 



Kingston, N.Y., March 23.— The Pansy Gun Club, of Kingston. N Y 

 held a business meeting on Tuesday, March 20. Four new mernher's 

 were elected, making a membership of forty-two in all. The c'ub 

 which has been formed only a short time, is now in a flourishing con- 

 dition. Their grounds are unsurpassed by any along the Hudson 

 River, having a clear sky background and are fitted up in good shape 

 with bluerock expert traps. All that is now needed is a new club 

 house, which will doubtless be erected in the near future. In a short 

 time the new Colonial electric railway will be in operation, making the 

 grounds very easy of access from any part of the city, as well as 

 from the Union depot of the West Shore, Ulster and Delaware and 

 Wallkill Valley railroads. The club hold practice shoots ever Satur- 

 day afternoon, and on the first Saturday of each month is held a handi- 

 cap shoot for the club badge, a very handsome gold emblem pre- 

 sented by the Pansy Club of Boston, a ladies' social (organization At 

 the meeting Col. Chas. V. Hester, the club's president, who has lust 

 returned from Florida, bringing with him a magnificent collection of 

 mounted birds, beasts and reptiles found in that State, presented one- 

 of the handsomest pieces in his collection to the club as a prize the. 

 fi-st member winning it three times to become the owner. This' will 

 also be shot for under a handicap, and should be very interesting con- 

 tests. It is thought that with the material now in the club they- 

 should be able to put out a strong team next summer. 



Live Birds at Larchmont, 



On March 24 an interesting match took place at Larchmont 

 between L. T. Davenport and J. C.^Palmer, each man shooting at 100 

 live pigeons, 50yds. boundary, for a substantial stake, Davenport 

 standing at 30yds, and Palmer at 29yds. The weather was good and 

 the birds fair to good. Palmer lost 7 and Davenport 5 dead out of 

 bounds. The score follows:
