Princeton 'Varsity Gun Club. 



Princeton, N. J.. March 14.— The 'Varsity Gun Club faced a March 

 gale to-day in their first practice for the intercollegiate race. The 

 targets did not mind the wind a bit, but towered, dipped and dodged 

 like a lot of iaeksnipe. The blizzard brought tears to the shooter f 1 

 eyes, but the hard shell tar-coats went right on, unbroken, round 

 after round, though the shot could be plainly heard rattling against 

 them. 



The targets were a bad lot, acknowledged by the manufacturers 

 "too hard a bake," but even this would not altogether account for the 

 awful scores. 



The veterans Lewis, Vaughn>nd;Tiff anyscored 14, 12 and 13 respect- 

 tively out of 25. Balance of score is unfit for publication, and sve sup- 

 press it with satisfaction. 



One incident of the melancholly meeting raised'a smile: A crow, 

 beating to windward, pass°d overhead (out of range), but immedi- 

 ately after weathering traps, pressed downward by the gale, came 

 near the ground. He could not fly as fast as man could run and some 

 of our undergrad. sprinters started after him. 



Oh, what a sight for gods and men — and a Kodak — was the race that 

 followed! No. 8s were too light, however, and the result was very 



Ironton Defeats South Point. 



Ironton. O,— The trap shoot between the Ironton and South Point 

 gun clubs, on the former's grounds in this city, Monday afternoon, 

 was won by the Ironton team in a score of 137 to 94 out of 200 birds 

 The latter had eight men, Ironton seven. Scores: 

 Ironton Club.

Princeton Gun Club's Initial Shoot. 



Princeton, N. J., March 17.— The Princeton Gun Club held its initial 

 shoot at its handsome and well-appointed club house this afternoon. 

 The day was perfect and everybody happy. There was a large at- 

 tendance and twenty-four entries in second event. The light was ex- 

 cellent, the shooter faced the northeast, and every target reached a 

 sky background. The day was fiar and warm, with a moderate 

 southwest wind. Empire targets were thrown from five bluerock 

 traps and the combination proved to be a good one. American Asso- 

 ciation rules governed, the rapid-fire system being used. The scores 

 follow:

Coney Island Rod and Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Coney Island Rod and Guo Club held on 

 March 14, called out a goodly number of members and some good 

 scores were recorded, despite the cyclonic breeze that blew across 

 Woodlawn Park. The main attraction was the club shoot at 7 live 

 birds, handicap ri3es, for the Plate diamond badge, this being the 

 eleventh of the series of twelve contests. Mr. Fred Pfaender is prac- 

 tically the owner of this handsome souvenir, which is well worth the 

 winning. He has won it four times out of eleven competitions against 

 Borne of the best wing shots in this section In to-days contest two of 



like the late siege of Rio, largely bloodless. The only gore spilled was 

 the result of contact between an ill-held gun and a shooter's nose. 

 The crow went on. 



One of the survivors of this "light brigade" charge asserted con- 

 fidently that the crow, had "enough shot in his hide to sinkhim." 



We doubt it. Anyhow he "sank" the wrong way— upward.

O. C. Guessaz. 



Mr. O. C. Guessaz, whose portrait is given herewith, is a type of the 

 virile and energetic sportsman of the Southwest. One of the best 

 known and most energetic sportsmen of San Antonio and of Texas, 

 aggressive, fearless and yet of sunny temperament, his fellows' have 

 delighted to honor him in many ways. Mr. Guessaz has been four 

 times chosen president of the Texas State Sportsmen's Association, 

 and holds that office now. No carpet sportsman, but a successful 

 hunter of large and small game, Mr. Guessaz has also established his 

 skill in the friendly contests of amateur skill with gun and rifle. He 

 holds the State Association individual championship medal on live 

 birds for 1893 4, the greatest trophy Texas offers. This winter he broke 

 the State rifle record of thirty-flve years' standing, off-hand shooting, 

 on the San Antonio range of 150yds., 90 points out of 100 possible, on 

 the American standard target, and since that time has beaten his own 

 record. This rifle club medal he values highly. 



Into everything, full of vim and go, Mr. Guessaz has made a good 

 business success in Sao Antonio, though in that he has not lost inter- 

 est in the life of sport. For a long time he conducted the Texas Meld, 

 finally discontinuing it owing to press of other duties in his extensive 

 printing business. He thinks, however, that he can And time and sub- 

 serve the sportsmen's interests of his State by representing Forest 

 and Stream. Surely the paper could find no better man. 



Live Birds at Pelhamville. 



The members of the Cobird Gun Club had an interesting con- 

 test at live birds on N. F. Brickner's grounds at Pelhamville. N. T., 

 Thursday, March 15, the conditions being 25 live birds, §25 entry, 

 28yds. rise, Hurlingham rules, with 50yds. boundary. The weather 

 conditions were unfavorable, with a troublesome wind and dashes of 

 snow, sleet and rain alternating. On the twenty-fourth round the 

 birds were used up, and the ties for first and second money were post- 

 poned to March 22. During the day the following scores were made in 

 a 10 bird match, for $10 a side, 25yds. rise:

Syracuse Special. 



Syracuse, N. Y., March 19.— The Syracuse Gun Club held a special 

 shoot yesterday afternoon at the Croton street grounds in honor of two 

 special guests, W. Fred Quimby, a prominent sportsman of New York, 

 and Harry Febiger, of Philadelphia. The conditions were difficult, 

 being from known traps and unknown angles. The sportsmen seemed 

 to be almost without exception in the best of form; they were Cer- 

 tainly on their mettle, and demonstrated to their guests that Syra- 

 cuse can boast of marksmen competent to cope with the best, Chas. 

 H. Mowry was in superb form, and 90 birds out of a possible 100 fell 

 before his aim. A. G. Courtney was second with 86 to his credit, 

 shooting his new ejector for the first time. Montgomery third with 

 82 to his credit aud Arno fourth whh 80, The largest consecutive 

 score was made by Courtney, who brought down 34 birds without a | 

 miss. Geo. Luther was also in excellent form, shooting at 70 birds, i 

 and bringing down 61, thus placing an average of 90 per cent, to his 

 credit. We oil hope to see him soon back in his old style, when he will

 and made the visitors happy and hope they will soon come again:
