Live Bird Week in Jersey. 



The week ending on April 28 was one of the liveliest on record for 

 the New Jersey trap-shooters, there being no less than five days on 

 which live bird matches and sweeps were shot, besides two days being 

 taken up with the South Side tournament. Of the sport Newark, 

 Paterson. Plainneid and Morristown each had their share. 



The opening of the fun was at Witlard's Park, Paterson, on Monday, 

 April 23, when a spirited contest took place between 



T. O. WRIGHT AND "BENNY BLUEROCK;," 



the conditions being 25 live birds per man, Hurlingham rules, 50yds. 

 boundary, for $25 a side, James Smith being referee, Henry Wolfe trap 

 puller and Wm. Dutcher scorer. The conditions were perfect and the 

 birds a rattling good lot, being handled by Robert Boyle. Wright was 

 n rather hard luck, losing four birds dead out of bounds, while 

 "Bluerock" lost two the same way. 



Wright went first to the score and made a good clean kill of a ngnt- 

 quartering incomer, "Bluerock" following by grassing one of similar 

 flight His third was fast and took a long second; 4th, fast, hit with 

 both charges and fell dead less than a yard over the boundary; 5th, 

 fast, killed at 60yds.; 7th, fell 2yds. beyond boundary; 12th, hit lightly; 

 18th and 14th, both loaded with lead and died just over the line; 18th, 

 a fast twister, pretty second barrel kill; 22d, another fast one, hit 

 lightly with second. , , „ , .... ... 



"Bluerock's" 2d was a fast blue one, well stopped ; Sd, ditto : 5th, 

 good second barrel kill; 7tb. extra fast; 11th, hit hard, but earned both 

 loads over ; 13th, ditto, very hard hit; 19th, hit but lightly. The scores

THE MORRISTOWN VS. PATERSON. 



team match was the attraction on Tuesday, this being shot on the 

 Morristown Driving Park grounds. The weather previous to the 

 beginning of the contest was all that could be desired, but shortly after 

 the start a shower came up and for about fifteen minutes the rain came 

 down at a lively rate. It soon cleared again and remained so until 5 

 o'clock, when there was another downpour. 



The members of the Paterson Gun Club drove over to Morristown in 

 a stage, arriving in time to partake of an excellent poultry dinner pre- 

 pared by the deft hands of Mrs. Class. Judging from the manner in 

 which the dishes were depleted the ride from Paterson is one to force 

 an appetite- 



Besides those who were to shoot on the team there were a large 

 number of non-shooters from Paterson. Morristown also sent a fair 

 quota of spectators, and from Newark came James E. Wheaton, Sam- 

 uel Castle and "000" Van Ness. John Riggott came down from Rock- 

 away, Dr. P. J. and J. W. Zeglio from Warrenville and E. C. George 

 from Pompton. 



After dinner the party shot a couple of 5 bird sweeps, $3 entry, three 

 moneys, all at 28yds„ the results being:

Second money in No. 1 was shot off in No. 2 and divided by Castle, 

 Morgan and Timmins. 



Next in order came the team shoot, six men from the Morristown 

 Gun Club against six from the Paterson Gun Club, 10 live birds per 

 man, 28yds. rise, Hurlingham rules. 50yds. boundary, for a "consider- 

 ation" and the price of the birds. James E. Wheaton of the Newark 

 Gun Club was referee. 



Previous to this match Morfey had cautioned Frank Class not to put 

 in anything but "red hot birds, " and the latter came pretty near com- 

 plying with the request in toto. With very few exceptions the birds 

 were "hummers." Not more than half a dozen refused flight when 

 the traps were sprung, and these made good time once they got up. 

 As a whole it was the best lot of flyers and lead-carriers ever trapped 

 n this section for a team race. 



Morfey won the toss and decided to open the ball for Paterson, 

 scoring a kill, as did Riggott for Morristown. Timmons lost a tricky 

 right-quartering driver; George failed to stop a terribly fast one to 

 the left and Rob Boyle saw his first bird wriggle out of both loads. On 

 tthe first round Morristown led by one kill. On the third round 

 sheirlead increased to (wo and on ihe fifth round to three. On the 

 ixth the game was even and it remained so until the eighth, when 

 Morristown again went to the front and finally won by a margin of 

 two kills. Dr. ZegUo carried off the honors by pulling out the only 

 straight score of the race. Luck seemed to be hard against George, 

 who had ten of the best birds of the day. Timmons, who had previ- 

 ously been doing clean killing, seemed to lose his form and was low 

 man in the scores. Boyle, who is a novice at this game, pulled out 

 even on kills and misses. 



Some fine work was done all around, in fact good shots were of such 

 frequent occurrence that we noted only those of highest order. One 

 of the best was by Garry Hopper of his 9th round, a terribly fast in- 

 comer to right, handsomely stopped just in time. Wolf's 10th was 

 fast and tricky and needed the fine second which brought it down. 

 Coyle's 9th bird was fast, hit hard and fell, but when the dog tried to 

 gather it it got up and went outside; his 10th was a hummer, killed at 

 60yds. Morgan put a double allowance of shot in his 3d bird but it 

 lived to get over. Castle's 9th was awfully fast and well stopped. 

 Class's 9th was a rattler and prettily stopped. Timmons's 9th went 

 down when the first cracked, but went away as the dog tried to re- 

 trieve him. The score follows:

DR. UTTER AGAINST A RECORD. 



In a recent issue we published an account of an old Rhode Island 

 match shot at North Paterson between Dr. S Utter of that town, and 

 T. W. Morfey, Utter killing 18 to Morfey's 17. The Doctor was not 

 satisfied with this showing, and offered to wager that he could beat the 

 score under the same conditions. Morfey and he thereupon wagered 

 wagered $25 each, Morfey betting that Utter could not kill more than 

 18 out of 25. _ 



The trial was made on Wednesday, with about 30 spectators. The 

 birds were a fair lot, but the Doctor was in form and did not have to 

 shoot out his full string, killing 19 out of the first 20, and having his 

 thirteenth bird fall stone dead a yard over the line. 



THE MORFEY VS. RYAN MATCH 



was shot on John Erb's grounds in Newark on Friday, April 37. The 

 conditions were 25 live birds per man, 21yds. rise, fence boundary, 

 gun below the elbow until bird was on the wing, one trap, for a stake 

 of $50 a side. The match was a find, trap and handle affair, one of 

 the kind, in fact, which yields no credit to the shooter or handler, 

 and which should be f row ned down by all fair-minded sportsmen. 

 Morfey's kills for the most part were clean and neat, and he only had 

 two wing-tipped birds. At least four of Ryan's birds got away with- 

 out being touched. The scores are here appended:

THE ENDING OF THE WEEK'S SPORT 



was in.the form of an all-day shoot on John Erb's Newark ground. 

 The early hours of Saturday were pleasant, but at noon the clouds 

 gathered, and during the afternoon there were a number of showers. 

 The birds put out were a fair lot considering the weather conditions. 

 The shooting was of the most spirited kind, and the misses few and 

 far between. During the day 532 birds were shot at in the sweeps, 

 and of these 467 were scored, the percentage being 87.59. Of the 65 

 birds lost 12 fell dead out of bounds. 



It was about the noon hour when the shooting began, the opening 

 event being a 5-bird match for $5 a side between Sam Castle and 

 Tampa. This resulted thusly: 



Castle 10111—4 Tampa 11100—3 



Then came regular dvent No. 1, at 5 birds, S3 entry, 2 moneys;

Those who were in for third money decided to shoot off in the sue

 handicap rises. This drew out sixteen entries, and resulted in some 

 fine scores, as the appended table shows:

SCOTT TERRY AND DEHART 



were the principals in a 50 bird race shot on the Climax Guu Club 

 grounds at Farnwood on Wednesday, the stake being $100 a side, 

 Hurlingham rules governing, except 40yds. boundary. Dr. P. J. 

 Zeglio was referee, Tom Brantingham scorer, Joe Zeglio trap-puller, 

 Neaf Apgar stakeholder. 



Scott Terry is well-known as one of the shooting family of Terrys 

 of Plainfleld, and has figured in a number of hard-fought contests, 

 while Dehart, who is a recently acquired member of the Paterson Gun 

 Club, is a novice at all kinds of trap work, never having done any of 

 it until within a few weeks. He proved, however, to be not only a

The club members invested a big interest and cleared a heap of f uu 

 out of the two 25 bird races between Messrs Skirm and Zazzelli. A 

 few days ago Mr. S. made bold to state in the hearing of Mr. Z. that 

 he coutd outsboot any candy man in Princeton, if he wasn't a club- 

 member. Mr. Z. "riz right up" and declared that he didn't take any 

 "side line" from the best cigar man in the place, etc., etc. Naturally 

 a challenge was the result and to-day's race followed. Mr. Z. is only 

 a beginner, and the bloodthirsty S. neker fired a shot on the wing at 

 anything. The leading scratch man and your correspondent took 

 upon themselves the duties of coach, and the war began. At first it 

 was neck and neck who could tear the biggest hole in the circumam- 

 bient ether and miss. At last the dark horse caught on and won. The 

 plucky candy man at once challenged for a second match, "to take 

 effect immediately." The cigar vender as quickly accepted, and at it 

 they went, hammer and tongs. Amid salvos of musketry he won 

 again, and immediately celebrated the happy event by handing in his 

 name and membership fee to our secretary.
