Paters on Defeats Elizabeth. 



Those who mustered up courage enough to visit Willard'S Park in 

 iPaterson on Wednesday, April 11, are entitled to medals commemora- 

 tive of their pluck and staying qualities. The day was just the sort to 

 iremind one of the much-talked of and always-to-be-dreaded Dakota 

 [blizzard, albeit the mercury was a little too high. There was a driving, 

 Ibeavy downfall of snow all day long, and the wind, fmm the east, 

 blew a veritable hurricane, such an one indeed as no pigeon could 

 make headwav against. Among the intrepid ones who were on hand 

 iwere Chas Asfalk, Al Conover, J. Blodgett, S. Ryder, F. Batsch^Chas. 

 Johnson and Win. Backer man, of Elizabeth; T. O. Wright, Henry 

 Wolfe, rihas. Harford and Win. Hill, of Paterson. 



, The attraction was the match at 25 live birds, one barrel only al- 

 lowed, otherwise Hurlingham rules, for S25 a side, between T. W. 

 Morfey, of Paterson, and Wm. Lever, of Elizabeth. Chas. Johnson, of 

 Elizabeth, wss referee; Wm. Duteher, scorer, and Smith Hill, of Pater- 

 son, trup puller. With a 15-mile wind blowing almost from right to 

 left, it may be imagined that almost any bird would be obliged to fly 

 [hard, A glance at the direction of flight, as shown by our copyrighted 

 [trap score type, will show that few of the birds attempted to breast 

 the wind. They did not rise promptly when the traps were sprung, 

 but once on the wind soon made up for any delay in starting. 

 I Some fine work was done by both parties, as the birds had to be 

 killed quick and clean to avoid their beiug blowu over the line. Mor- 

 fey's 4th bird was killed at 40yds. ; 8th, extra fast, towered, hit hard, 

 Ibiit carried over fence to die; 12th, hit hard, but got over; 18th should 

 have been killed; 17th twisted, got both barrels and carried them to the 

 grand stand, where he fell dead; 19th started to right, changed quickly 

 and dodged both barrels. 



Lever's 5th and 6th birds were terribly fast and twisted out of both 

 loads, both attempted to face the wind but were turned around; 8th, 

 hit very hard but got at last over the wire; 10th, left incomer, hit 

 hard and dropped just over the dead line at score; 13th, an ugly 

 twister, hit and fell, everybody thought it dead, but when dog got 

 near it revived and with an heroic effort got over the fence, falling 

 dead; 14th, hit hard; 16th, very fast and a pretty kill: 18th, hard hit, 

 fell outside; 19th, got first but escaped second. 



At times it was almost impossible to locate the traps, while only a 

 few times during the day could the fence in the background be seen. 

 Tt was a hard day for the shooters with the snow beating full in the 

 face as they stood at the score, and Morfey's score of nineteen kills is 

 considered a highly creditable performance. 



Below are the results, Lever standing at 30 and Morfey at 38yds.

Morfey Defeats "Tampa"— Utter Defeats Morfey. 



Magnificent weather conditions prevailed on Saturday, April 14, and 

 those who rentured out on pleasure or business bent were able, much 

 to their relief, to substitute spring overcoats for the burdensome great- 

 coat. At noon the mercury had reached the comfortable point of 54° 

 f above and everybody felt in a springlike humor. Shortlv before 10 A. 

 M a small number of sportsmen and lovers of trap-shooting, some 

 ft om New York, some from Brooklyn and Newark, and others repre- 

 senting the great "City of Silk." gathered at the Eagle House in Pater- 

 son aud a few moments later had boarded an electric car en rou te to 

 Willard's Park, there to witness a match at live pigeons between T. W. 

 Morfey, of Paterson, and Arthur Schleman, of Tampa Bay, Fla. 



The match was at 100 live birds each, 28yds. rise, under American 

 Shooting Association rules, the stake being $250 a side. Neaf Apgar 

 was selected as referee, Henry Wolfe pulled the traps, the Boyle 

 brothers handled the birds, and the trap editor of Forkst and Stream 

 kept the official score. John L. Brewer, Dr. Frank of Brooklyn, and a 

 number of others equally as well-known sportsmen, were interested 

 spectators. 



There was a twenty-mile wind blowing diagonally across the line of 

 fire from No. 1 trap across a line between the score and No. 5 trap. 

 The wind was gusty at times, sending the smoke in the shooters' faces. 

 The grounds were in good conditions, as they usually are. and the 

 birds can fairly be classed as a good lot. Less than a dozen had to be 

 flushed when the traps were sprung, and these flew well once they 

 caught their wings. Only five birds were called, and of these two 

 were caught fast by the traps. 



Morfey, with his usual fortune, won the toss and elected to shoot 

 first, and he opened the ball by losing a fast twister which got both 

 loads in full and fell dead outside. His 3d was a lead carrier which 

 looked as though it would go out, but succumbed less tban a yard in- 

 side the hue. His 6th bird was caught by the trap and called "no 

 bird," and he shot at another, scoring a kill; 12th, extra fast and a 

 good second; 15th, ditto; 16th, a fast towering driver, killed by a 

 quick first, second used for safety; 17th, hit by first, fell and was up 

 and off again like a flash to be cut down with a well-aimed second; 

 18th, a bird that was filled with shot and supposed to be dead, but it 

 revived when the dog approached it, circling around several times in- 

 side the lines, Eagle finally securing it by a jump just in time to pre- 

 vent it from crossing the line; 20th, good second on hard bird; 2.3d, 

 caught first and dropped out of second, but was gathered ; 25th, fast 

 and towered but cut down with a good second. This gave him a total 

 of 22 kills out of the 25. 



Schleman started in by grossing a fast incomer to the left which re- 

 quired both barrels; 4th, a hard bird and bard hit by first, but the 

 second was behind and the flyer escaped; his 5th was caught by the 

 trap, called "no bird," and another given which he killed; 6th, tow- 

 ered but had to come down when the second cracked; 9th, an ugly 

 zig-zagging circler which seemed to dodge the center of bDth charges 

 and escaped with the loss of a few feathers; 10th, towered, killed by 

 good second; 12th, fast, twisted out of first but got center of second; 

 14th, slow on first barrel, caught at full 60yds. with an elegant second; 

 15th, fast, grassed with good second; 16th, shot on ground, got an- 

 other bird, was slow on both barrels and although the bird was mor- 

 tally wounded it went outside to die; 18th, long second on twister; 

 20th, good second on fast bird; 24th, fast and tricky, was undershot 

 and got away; 25th, towered and had to have second. Score for 

 round, 21. 



On the second quarter Morfey's first bird started to twist and got 

 out of the first, then started to right and was promptly cut down; 

 30th had to be put up; 32d twisted out of a slow first and was missed 

 by second, going over the fields; 33d, brought down with neat and 

 quick first'; 34th, an awful fast twister and prettily killed; 37th, fast, 

 good kill; 40th, ditto; 41st, a hot one from the spring of the trap and 

 only stopped near boundary; 45th dodged both charges, very fast 

 bird; 50tn, a "screamer," full of lead and fell 3yds. over boundary. 

 Score on the half 45. 



Schleman put a double charge in his first bird on this round, but it 

 was tough and wriggled over the line, being helped by the wind; 34th, 

 a twisting one, which started as an incomer to the left, but changed 

 its course and was grassed by a fine second just on the turn, one of the 

 best shots of the day; 35th, long second; 36th, ditto; 38th, stopped as 

 the first was pulled, then dodged out of second and gotaway; 39th. hit 

 slightly with first, but got away from second; 43d, started to circle, 

 then went to right and was cut down as it straightened; 46th, caught 

 by a finely placed second on a turn; 47th, a fast one, second was be- 

 hind and it went out; 48tb, a hot one and well stopped near boundary; 

 50th, another "hummer," hit hard but died outside. Score 41, four 

 behind Morfey. 



Morfey's 5Bth got a double allowance of shot and took it over the 

 back boundary, struck outside fence and fell dead; 60th, got away 

 from both charges; 62d, long second; 67th, very fast bird, good kill; 

 68th, had broken wing, called "no bud" and shot at another, which he 

 killed; 72d, twister, carried a big lot of shot over boundary; 74th, a 

 fast left-quartering driver which was hit with first, but gotaway from 

 a too quick second. Score, 66. 



Schleman 's 54th fell dead just over the boundary, it was out of the 

 center of both charges; 58th, this was the best shot of the day and on 

 one of the fastest birds that ever left a trap, it was bit with first, but 

 refused to stop when he cut it down with his second at full 35i ds. 

 from trap, this shot brought out applause from even Jack Brewer; 

 57th, this bird was riddled with shot, and every one was wonderstruck 

 to see him wriggle and twist until he got over the wire, where he fell 

 dead; 61st, behind with both barrels; 62d, behind with second, hit witb 

 first, fell outside; 65th, good second; 66th, "no bird," got another and 

 killed, the bird falling less than a yard inside the. wire fence; 70th and 

 71st, both incomers to right and both hard bit, but in each case fell 

 dead out of bounds. Score 60. 



Schleman's luck in losing four birds dead out of bounds in one 

 round did not seem to bother him a bit, and from his 72d to his 100th 

 round, inclusive, he killed straight, grassing hard birds as easily as 

 the medium ones. His 88th was a fast and vicious twister, cut down 

 with a prettily placed first; 91st. another zigzagger and neatly killed: 

 99th, ditto and very fast. He finished the race with 85 kills to his 

 credit, having lost 7 dead out of bounds and making a run of 26 

 straight. 



On the final quarter Morfey's 77th was killed by an elegant first; Slst 

 hard hit, fell dead just over line; 86th, long second barrel kill; 88th, 

 ditto on fast bird; 91st. towered, but caught enough to bring him to 

 grass; 92d, shot on ground, called "no bird" aud shot at another, 

 which was a "hummer" and fast enough to get away from both bar- 



relsl his 100th was clearly missed. His score at the finish was 88 kills, 

 he lost 5 birds dead out of bounds aud made a clean run of 26 kills 



During the latter part of the second quarter and part of the third 

 there seemed to be signs of a "ra< tie" ou the part of Schlernau, who 

 did not seem able to do any effective work with his first, although his 

 second barrel work at times was fine. He was clearly out lucked on 

 the birds. As a matter of course the man who uses a slow or an in- 

 effective first will get credit from an uninitiated audience of having 

 "harder" birds than the man who uses a quick first and stops his 

 birds close to the trap, In this instance, however, there were on the 

 grounds over half a dozen experts, and they united with us in saying 

 that Morfey certainly had the luck of the birds throughout. 



It must not be inferred from this that Morfey did not shoot a good 

 race, on the other hand, he shot in splendid form after the twentieth 

 round, getting on to his birds quickly and killing cleanly. He is a 

 shooter and a good one at that, but we cannot forego expressing as 

 our firm pigeon opinion that had the luck of the birds been more even 

 he would not have won on 88 kills, as we believe that under ordinary 

 conditions Schleman is good for 20 or better. 



In this case he made the gross mistake of shooting with a gun com- 

 paratively unknown to him, and it was not until the race was practi 

 cally lost that he caught the swing, after which he did some fine first 

 barrel work. With the second barrel be is a wonderfully fine shot. 



Morfey pulled himself together early in the race, and the quality of 

 the birds seemed to make little difference to him, although he was 

 considerably bothered by the working of the gun he used. At the 

 start nearly everybody conceded the race to Morfey, who seems to 

 have hit a lucky groove and is winning nearly everything he tackles. 

 Whether this luck, backed by his undoubted skill, will follow him for 

 any length of time, remains to be seen. 



The chances are that before many weeks have elapsed Mr. Morfey 

 will receive another challenge from the Florida man, this time at 200 

 birds each, for an advanced stake, and being the winner he will be 

 almost duty bound to accept. Here it may be well to mention that 

 previous to the above affair neither man had ever shot a 100-bird race 

 and so far as Mr. Schleman (Tampa") is concerned, he declares that 

 previous to his appearance at Dexter Park he had never shot at a 

 bird or target sprung from a trap.

A MATCH AT NORTH PATERSON. 



As soon as the above match was concluded the party returned to 

 Paterson, and while some went to their homes, others betook them- 

 selves to the rest-iurant to discuss dinner, after which they boarded a 

 train of the Susquehannah Road and were soon landed in Nonh 

 Paterson. an outlying suburb of the Silk City, where Morfey was to 

 shoot ft 25 bird race for $50 against Dr. S. Utter, a local physician, who 

 is as well nn expert with the smoothbore. The match was governed 

 by old Long Island rules, and was shot on an open field just under the 

 shadow of a spur of the Watchung Mountains. The rise of 21yds 

 was paced off from the single trap, and there was no boundary line 

 except such as were provided by a thin fringe of trees on two sides, h 

 fence in rear and the road on the left. The birds were brought up 

 from Paterson and were a good lot, having the wind behind them 

 when going to the front or left. Morfey was first to the score, as 

 usual, and killed until the third round. litter's third fell dead oui of 

 bounds, and he lost the next two. On the 10th round the score was 

 even; on the 15th still even; on the 20th Utter was one ahead, and thus 

 the race ended. Utter killing 18 to Morfey's 17. The best birds of tbe 

 race were Morfey's 23d. Utter's 11th, 16th, 17th, 19th and 22d. James 

 Smith was referee, Neaf Apgar trap-puller and C. H. Townsend scorer.

After the race there was shot a S3 miss and out, old Long Island

 Morfey, Utter going out on the second and Waldron on the first 

 round. 



Then came the $3 sweepstake at five birds, Hurlingham rules, the 

 tie for second money being shot off under old Long Island rules owing 

 to a scarcity of shells. The scores: Tie.

Riverview Gun Club. 



Amsterdam, N. Y , April 9.— Friday afternoon, April 6, was the date 

 for the opening club shoot of the Riverview Gun Club for the season 

 of 1894, and only three members showed up After a long wait for 

 others to appear shooting was commenced aud the following scores 

 appended as the result: 



R M Haritey (30) 111111111111111111111111101111—29 



A B Briggs (20) llllllOinOllIlOlOllw —16 



DS Pierce (13) lllllllllOlllw —12 



The weather was cold and windy, blowing directly into the faces of 

 the shooters. Haritey finished his score of 30 with the fine showing of 

 29 breaks, missing his twenty-sixth target, an easy left-quarterer. 

 Briggs and Pierce withdrew owing to extreme cold. This is the first 

 shooting done since the last club tournament on Oct. 12, and the 

 scores under the circumstances are certainly fine. 

 f^Prospects are more than discouraging for trap-shooting here this 

 season. Amsterdam is a manufacturing city and our mills are nearly 

 all closedand have been since last August and September.

Shooting in Hunterdon County. 



Huntington, N. J., April 14.— The shooters of this vicinity are he- 

 ginning with the advent of the more settled and warmer weather to 

 evince more interest in trap matters, and the shoots of the Fleming- 

 ton Gun Club are better attended in consequence. On March 30, at 

 the monthly prize contest at 25 targets, from one trap, one man up, 

 the scores were as follows: 



Lott 1111010110111110111110111—20
