Maplewood Makes a New Record. 



They are five great shooters are the League five of the Maplewood 

 Gun Club. 



Roilo Heikes, the handsome blond from Dayton, O.. thinks they are 

 '■a great aggregation !" 



"Tee Kay" Keller says, "Nothing on earth can beat them except 

 Climax shells! 1 '' 



W. Fred Quimby says. "Of course they made a great score. How 

 can they help it when they hold straight on the Empire targetl" 



Enoch D. Miller thinks "they are out of sight!" 



Lieut.-Col. R. H. Breintnall said nothing, but gazed wonderingly at 

 the score. 



Cbas. M. Hedden, the old veteran, said, "Oh, my!" 

 "Dutchy" Smith said, "Who vas clem Tellers study py dot dey shoot 

 like dose?" 



"Big Jim" Smith remarked that Hackettstown might try to borrow 

 some Maplewood talent in the near future. 



"Old South Paw" Heritage allowed that the figures were "pretty- 

 high!" 



Ferd. Van Dyke gained a pound when the score was announced. 

 Billy Hobart says, "Nothing but the new Winchester repeater will 

 ever raise that record!" 



£ And everybody said the team was entitled to a diploma. 



For know ye that to put up a team of five men. have them shoot at 

 25 targets each and break 118 out of the possible 125, is a great, a phe- 

 nomenal feat. It is not always that you can get together five men, all 

 of whom are in perfect shooting condition. 



It was on Thursday, March 23, when the second monthly team tour- 

 nament of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters 1 League was held on the 

 Maplewood Gun Club grounds that the above great feat was per- 

 formed, the Maplewood team leading the field by breaking 118 out of a 

 possible 125, and beating the League record, which since the beginning 

 of its existence has stood at 115, this having been scored several 

 times. 



The weather on the above date was decidedly favorable until 4:30 

 P.M., when suddenly the clouds gathered and then broke, sending 

 down a torrent which drove all hands to shelter. Previous to this 

 the air had been dry and clear and the beams of the bright sun 

 kept everybody comfortable. The attendance was good, there being 

 seven teams represented in the championship team shoot, while in one 

 of the sweeps there were forty-two entries. Previous to the rain 

 there was just breeze enough to clear away the smoke without inter- 

 fering with the flight of the targets. 



The dubs represented were the Union Gun Club of Springfield, E. D. 

 Miller, captain ; South Side Gun Club of Newark, R. H. Breintnall, 

 captain; Endeavor Gun Club of Jersey City, Ed. Collins, captain; 

 Maplewood Gun Club of Maplewood, J.Warren Smith, captain; Bruns- 

 wick Gun Club of New Brunswick, J. H. Van Nuis, captain ; Myrtle 

 Park Gun Club of Irvington, E. Compton, captain; Climax Gun Club 

 of Plainfield, T. K. Keller, captain. 



The grounds were in first class condition; the stove in the house was 

 kept at a red heat and the lunch counter was well stocked with sand- 

 wiches, pies, etc.. while a big pot of coffee was kept boiling. One set 

 of traps, five in number, were used, these being of the old Standard 

 model, which handled the Empire targets in splendid shape. This was 

 the first time we had seen these targets thrown, and they certainly 

 gave satisfaction, having a regular, steady flight, and the percentage 

 of breaks in the traps being nominal. 



"Billy" Marshall, the well known Milburn hackman, brought two 

 conveyances down to Maplewood to transport the shooters to and 

 from the grounds, and his "rigs" were well patronized. As a rule 

 shooters and others are obliged to walk between the station and 

 grounds, a disagreeable task after a wet spell of weather. The inno- 

 vation made on this occasion was appreciated by all. 



The shooting on these grounds is done from a platform about four 

 feet high, this being done for the purpose of getting an improved 

 light, the targets having been previously thrown toward a wood. 

 Now the direction of flight has been changed, and by raising the traps 

 the targets clear nearly all obstructions and get nearly a free back- 

 ground. 



In connection with the team shoot the Maplewoods had arranged an 

 attractive programme of open events, comprising contests at 10, 15 

 and 20 targets, and one at 25 targets, the entry fees being $1, 81.50. $2 

 ana $2.50. Owing to .the rain, however, the full programme was not 

 shot, the 25-target event being one of those dropped. 



As has been before mentioned, the team work was splendid, the 

 Maplewoods particularly distinguishing themselves. The South Sides 

 also did great work in putting up 112 breaks, as did the Unions, who 

 got 111. The only full score In the team race was made by E. O. 

 Geoffrey of the South Sides. Scores of 24 each were made by J. L. 

 Smith, E. D. Miller, O. L. Yeomans, A. Sickley and F. Van Dyke, 

 while Wickliffe. Smith, W. C. Drake, L. Thomas, Tom Brantingham, 

 Dan Terry, E. Collins and R. McPeek got 23 each.

Life a Muddle. 



What do we mean by "morbid?" We mean a brood- 

 ing, desolated spirit, which sees everything draped in 

 VdHi-k, which finds life a lnuddJe, aad an unenjoyable 

 muddle, which takes no delight in the great natural 

 things -sun, stars', and sea, and Uie beauty of women, 

 and the freshness of woods and innocent laughter.— 

 London Saturday Review. 



And the cure for it? Buy a Game Laws in Brief 

 and go fishing. See advertisement elsewhere. 



It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 

 one who "goes a-fishing." Some people charge for their catalogues, some 

 charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 

 give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 

 looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 

 customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 

 get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.
