T. W. Morfey and Capt. Money had previously agreed to divide first 

 and second moneys, provided they both killed straight, but in order to 

 decide the wagers they shot off for the positions at 10 birds, then miss 

 and out, with the following result: 



Morfey (28) 0 02222222 2-8 



Money (30) 2 2 0 1 1 2 2 1 0 2—8 



This was one of the best exhibitions of the day, every bird being a 

 fast one and over one-half of them being veritable "hummers." 



Of those who were in the tie for third money, all were agreed to 

 divide with the exception of Fulford, who very sensibly decided that 

 if he could not get a stake worth taking he would take nothing, so he 

 declined to divide, insisting upon a shoot-off . To this the others agreed, 

 first telling Fulford that he would have to take the odds of six to one 

 against himself, as the others would divide in case they succeeded in 

 shooting him out. Fulford replied that he was aware of the odds as 

 well as the strength of the combination, but was perfectly willing to 

 chance it, as he saw no satisfaction in paying $33 75 for an entry to a 

 match and taking out 830. So at it they went, and a good fight they 

 had. On the first round of 10 birds Simpson, Fulford and Moore tied 

 on 9 kills each, Smith getting 8, while Smith, Jones and Walters 

 drew out. On the second 10 Fulford lost 4, while Moore and Simpson 

 lost 3 each and then shot off miss and out to decide bets on the 

 position. As Simpson lost his first bird and Moore killed, the latter 

 was declared the winner of third place. Here are the scores:

After the deciding of the ties in the big sweep, there was shot a 7- 

 bird event, $7 entry, not class shooting, three moneys, and for these 

 moneys there was a hard fight, as shown by the following score, 

 Elliott and Hoffman finally capturing the purse:

Previous to the conclusion of the above event it was decided to carry 

 over the tournament for another day, as there was still a good stock 

 of birds on hand and a number who were primed for more shooting. 

 The weather on 



Saturday, the Fourth Day 



was decidedly unpleasant, but still there were almost twenty-five 

 shooters on the ground, and the number of spectators was fair. Up 

 to noon the clouds hung dark and threatening and the air was raw 

 and cutting. Shortly after dinner it rained for a time and about four 

 o'clock snow began to fall in a manner that reminded one of the 

 blizzard of March 12, 1888. The snow held the fort until dark, after 

 which rain followed in its train. During the early hours three extra 

 events were shot as warmers. The first two were at 5 birds each, $5 

 entry, two moneys, high guns to win, handicap rises, the result being 

 as follows: 

 No. 1: 



Fulford (31) 11121—5 11110-4 Lord (28) 22220—4 12211—5

Next came a five-bird match for $5 a side between M. F. Lindsley 

 and Arthur Schleman, "Tampa," the guide of the Tampa (Fla.) Hotel, 

 who has been in constant attendance during the shoot and who has 

 surprised the talent by his skillful work at the trap. The score: 

 Lindsley 22322—5 Tampa 1201 



Then Morfey and T. T Edgerton at nine live birds each, 25yds. rise, 

 one barrel, gun beloir elbow until bird is on the wing, $10 a side: 

 Morfey 001.1.110—4 Edgerton 110.11101—6 



Then Morfey and Tampa started a ten-bird match for $10 a side 

 under Association rules, but on the sixth round the Paterson man gave 

 up the job: 



Morfey 100200 -2 Tampa 11121—5 



The windup of this, the greatest live bird tournament ever held on 

 the island, was in the form of a five-bird sweep, $5 entry, high guns to 

 win, of which the following tells the story, Adams, Apgar, Jones and 

 LiDdsley dividing the pot:

C. H. TOWNSEND. 



Apgar and Wolstencroft vs. Peacock and Heikes. 



Nearly 300 people, trap-shooters and lovers of the sport, visited 

 Dexter Park on Monday, April 9, to witness the match at live birds 

 between Wm. Wolstencroft of Philadelphia and Neaf Apgar of Evona, 

 N. J. on the one side, against T. W. Peacock of Westfield, N Y., and 

 Rollo O. Heikes of Dayton, Ohio. The weather was perfect and the 

 birds a fair lot as a whole, some being exceptionally good. 



Each man shot at 100 live birds, 28yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, other- 

 wise Hurlingham rules, for a stake of $1,000 a side. Jacob Pentz was 

 referee and C. A. Dollar scorer. Apgar and Wolstencroft were the 

 favorites in the betting from the start and did not disappoint, their 

 friends. Heikes was decidedly out of form, having been sick for sev- 

 eral days and in consequence his score was not up to his usual average. 

 Wolstencroft and Peacock had a battle royal between themselves for 

 a side bet, Wolstencroft winning out by one bird. 



The score of the race in full was as below:

Aberdeens at the Traps. 



Aberdeen, Wash,, March 28.— The Aberdeen Rod and Gun Club held 

 their fourth regular shoot yesterday. It was raining all the time the 

 shoot was going on but that did not keep some of the old sports away 

 who are out f<?r the medal. The attendance was not very large owing 

 to the wet weather. C. G. Koehler won the medal with a score of 19 

 out of 20. R. M. Sherwood followed with 13 out of 30. Following is

Texas Traps. 



San Antonio, Texas.— The regular weekly shoot of the San Antonio 

 Gun Club took place Sunday afternoon, the 25th inst., at their grounds 

 at Lakeview. There were nineteen men at the score and the shooting 

 was very indifferent, as will be seen bv the scores below. Some at- 

 tributed their bad shooting to the north wind, which blew in gusts, 

 others had been experimenting in powders foreign to their shooting 

 experience, some were attacked by fits of fudging — at any rate the 

 excuses offered were pretty much the same as those heard on any 

 other trap ground in America. These gun men are about all alike. 



No. 1, 15 singles: Rothwell 10, Adams 13, France 8, Newton 6, Simp- 

 son 7, Vollbrecht 6, Smith 10, Faurote 6, Learn 7, Tendick 8, Biesen- 

 bach 9, Veith 5, Epstein 3, Chabot 7, Grossman 8. 



No. 2, medal shoot, 20 singles and 5 pair: Rothwell 16, Shields 19, 

 Newton 17, Grossman 10, Chabot 14, Adams 18, Thiele 17, Smith 18, 

 Biesenbach 11, Learn 10, Barber 6, Tendick 18, Dignowity 8, Vollbrecht 

 15, Simpson 13, Veith 7. Faurote 19, France 21, Epstein 21. France won 

 the medal. 



No. 3, 15 singles: Shields 8, Newton 7, Smith 11, Adams 11, Chabot 

 8, France 10, Barber 3, Vollbrecht 6, Dignowity 6, Faurote 10, Roth- 

 well 8. 



No. 4, 15 singles: Newton 10, Adams 9, Chabot 6. Faurote 9, Roth- 

 well 6. 



The next shoot of the club will be held on Thursday afternoon. 



As will be seen by the above, Mr. France carried off the honors as 

 far as the medal for the week is concerned. It is a great affair any- 

 how—not the medal, but France. He is florid, fat, far from forty, and 

 full of good humor generally. The wildest enthusiasm raged in his 

 heaving bosom as the gentle maiden pinned upon his four-button vest 

 the mystic bauble indicative of his prowess with the shotgun. He 

 kissed his gun three times, held his right hand aloft and swore by all 

 the cleaning rods in his house that the new smokefull DuPont fine- 

 grain, hit-me-a-whack powder did it; and many of the boys believed 

 him and are putting in a stock of the new explosive. 



POWDER HILL GUN CLUB. 



This organization, although small in number, is away up in shooting 

 qualities, and constantly has a good-sized chip on its shoulder. They 

 are the State champions and expect to remain so. At their regular 

 shoot on the same date as above the following scores were made: 

 Regular medal shoot, 30 singles, expert rules, and 5 pairs doubles, 

 Critzer 31, Ohnesoye 34, A. Dreiss, Sr. 28, A. Dreiss. Jr. 27, Texas Field 

 32. Mr. Ohnesoye will therefore wear the beautiful diamond badge 

 until the next shoot. 0. C. G. 



Pansy Gun Club. 



Kingston, N. Y., April 2.— Editor Forest and Stream: Inclosed find 

 scores made by members of the Pansy Gun Club at their regular 

 weekly shoot held March 31. Some of the scores are very creditable, 

 the shooting being done in a very high wind, which twisted the targets 

 around in every conceivable direction.
