Paterson Defeats Hartford. 



The party of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut shooters who 

 visited Paterson on Monday, April 2, were treated to an exhibition of 

 shooting, the attraction beiDg a 50-bird match between Allen Wiiley. of 

 Hartford, and T. W. Morfey, of Paterson, tue stake being $50 a side, 

 Hurlingham rules governing. The day was a good one for the sport, 

 the wind being just strong enough to prompt the birds to fly and the 

 sun warm enough to keep one comfortable when out of doors. Among 

 the spectators from a distance were W. L. Skinner, of the.Forehaud 

 ArmB Company; F. D. Kelsey, of Buffalo, and J. L. Brewer, of Bridge- 

 ton. Al Heritage was referee; Neaf Apgar, trap puller; Jacob Pentz 

 and Wm. Dutcher, scorers. 



It was abnut 2 o'clock when Neaf Apgar pulled trap No. 4 for Mor- 

 fey, who, having won the toss, decided to shoot first. The bird was a 

 very slow right-quarterer, the kind -which will fool most quick shoot- 

 ers; 8th was a good fast driver killed with a fine second; 16th, fast in- 

 comer which took a good second to stop; 21st, a very slow twister; 23d 

 managed to carry his load over picket fence; 25th, a very fast driver, 

 as soon as the trap was pulled it was up and away for safety; 27th, an- 

 other extra fast right-quarterer, killed with a fine first barrel; 29th was 

 another slow left-quartering incomer, which went over the stand to be 

 killed by the army outside; 30th, a fast driver which managed to escape 

 both barrels, then turned around and came back over the shooters; 

 31st, a fast right-quartering driver which got . away the same as the 

 preceding one; 33d, a left-quartering incomer hit with both barrels, 

 but got under the wire; 36th, an extra fast right-quartering driver 

 which took a good hard second to kill inside of bounds; 41st, another 

 right-quartering driver, extra fast, killed with a well-aimed second ; 

 42d was a right-quarterer; extra fast, which took another good second 

 to kill. Those t » o birds were well earned. 



Wiiley warmly congratulated Morfey on these two shots. Morfey's 

 48d was a slow driver killed at 40yds.; 44th hit hard and dropped just 

 inside the line, when the wind carried it outside, the wire at this point 

 having been lowered to let a wagon enter the grounds; 48th, an extra 

 fast right-quarterer, stopped wi h a good first. 



Willey's first loss was of his 4th, a slow left-quarterer which carried 

 a good load over the fence and fell into the "jaws oi the Philistines" 

 beyond; 5th, fast driver, well stopped with good first, a pretty kill ; 

 12th, very fast, got away from both barrels; 13th, good first on a 

 hummer; 15th, extra fast, got away with loss of its tail; 20th, slow 

 twister; 22d, very fast, a pretty first; 24th, a hummer, killed with fine 

 second at 45yds.; 27th, fast twister, well stopped; 30th, fast and tough 

 and tried hard to carry a double charge away but failed; 31st, dropped 

 a yard over the wire, hit hard but helped by the wind; 36th, struck 

 picket fence; 37th, a hummer, got away unscathed; 42d, hit with first, 

 dodged second and escaped; 45th, slow twister, should have been 

 killed. 



Morfey used a T^jlbs. Greener, U. M. C. new "Trap" shells, 46grs. E. 

 C. powder and l%oz. shot. 



Wiiley used a 7}^lf s. Greener, U. M. C. new "Trap" shells, 46 and 

 50grs. E. C. powder and IJ^oz. shot.

hit; 51st, very fast; 52d, a twister, died just over the wire ; 63d, a tough 

 bird which caught both barrels, then zig-zagged to the wire and fell 

 dead outside ; his 66th, this one was expected to go out, but he alight ed 

 half-way to the wire, when Brewer started to gather it, failing to do 

 which he called for the dog which chased the bird around for a while 

 and finally caught it on the jump ; the bird got away however a second 

 after, but Jack got credit for a kill for it; his 70th was a fast twister 

 which got away without many pellets; 88th, a fast twister, well killed 

 at long range. 



At one end of the 35th round it was seen how much of an advantage 

 it is for a man like Brewster to concede 35 dead birds to an opponent. 

 At the beginning of the match as a matter of course Wiiley was 35 

 birds to the good, that number being scored to him without shooting. 

 On the 35th round, however, Brewer had lost only two birds, and con- 

 sequently it was an advantage of just two instead of 35 dead birds that 

 Will y had at this point. 



When WI1 ey started to shoot (on the 36th round) he got an easy 

 shot on a slow right-quartering driver, which he grassed; 38th, a 

 medium-paced driver lost by a flinch on the second; 47th, fast twister 

 and tough; 48th, fast and mean driver, good second; 50tb, pretty stop 

 of fast bird; 51st, fine, long kill; 52d, hit bard but succeeded in going 

 out to die: 53d, shot behind; 59th, splendid first on an ugly zig-zagger; 

 63d, fast driver, good enough to get awav from any gun; 64th was hit 

 with both charges and fell dead out of bounds; 66th, a regular old- 

 fashioned hummer which got away without a scratch; 69th, clever 

 second on good bird; 71st, hard hit but tough enough to get away; 

 77th, a bad one, not hit; 80th, hit hard, lit on fence and fell dead out- 

 side; 89th, well stopped with good first. The scores follow:

Brewer vs. Wiiley. 



On the day following the above contest J. L. Brewer and Allen Wii- 

 ley had a sceance at the well-known Willard Park, the conditions 

 being 100 live birds per man, Hurlingham rules to govern, the stake to 

 be f 100 a side. Brewer conceding Wiiley 35 dead birds, this having been 

 arranged during a jollification held on the previous evening at Morgan 

 and Morfey's cafes. J. W. Morfey was referee; Messrs. Dutcher and 

 Hill scorers. 



Brewer's first bird was a slow right-quartering driver, which kept 

 close down, but came to grass when the second spoke; 7th, a fast one 

 on which two charges were wasted; 13th, a game bird which carried 

 a double load almost to the fence; 25th, this one surprised Jack as it 

 went "over the hills and far away," it was a hummer; 29th, fast got 

 away with loss of portion of plumage; 30th, extra fast right-quarter- 

 ing incomer, caught by both barrels; 37th to 43d, as good a lot as could 

 be trapped, three of them falling dead out bounds, after being hard

 there be any privileges as is customary in this country, say, cottage

 there will probably be such openings, but we know of none now. 



A. E., Grand Forks, N. D. — In February I received a letter from a 

 New York firm offering to receive consignments of live quail on com- 

 mission. Does the New York law permit possession and sale of five 

 quail in the close season? Ans. The law reads: "Quail shall not be 

 sold or possessed between the first day of February and the first day 

 of November, but possession thereof between the first day of January 

 and the first day of February is forbidden and shall be deemed a vio- 

 lation of this section, unless it be proved by the possessor that said 

 birds were killed within the lawful periods for killing the same or out- 

 side the State." While the text reads "quail," and makes no specifica- 

 tion as to the bi^-ds being alive or dead, the intent of the statute 

 appears to be to forbid the sale of dead birds. 



W. C. B., Indianapolis, Ind.— 1. Will you kiDdly inform us through 

 your columns whether the channel and the blue catfish are the same? 

 2. Whether the yellow cat belongs to the same family ? to settle a dif- 

 ference of opinion in the Fly-Fisning Club. Ans. 1. In your locality 

 blue cat and channel cat are names of the same fish; the channel cat 

 of the Potomac and other Eastern rivers, however, is a different fish. 

 2. The yellow cat belongs to the same family, but to a different genus 

 (Leptops). The same name is applied also to a smaller cat of the 

 genus Amiurm. A study of the common names of the catfishes will 

 convince any reasonable angler that they are as thoroughly subject to 

 change as the scientific names; it is not uncommon to find twenty 

 names given to the same fish in different localities.
