E. N. Y. League Tournament. 



The second tournament of the Eastern New York Trap Shooters 1 

 League, of the present year's series, was scheduled on the league sec- 

 retary's list long before the dawn of '94, and the event became a 

 standing fixture in the Forest and Stream list. With such an advance 

 notice placed in the American sportsmen's favorite newspaper, the 

 event could not fail to be a familiar fixture in the minds of the league 

 shooters, and many others as well, and a fine attendance was the 

 natural result at the league meet at Canajoharie. on Memorial Day, 

 May 30. The weather was unfavorable, and of a character that seems 

 to have become the ideal one for the particular holiday mentioned, 

 with drizzling showers and falling mists, and the few fitful gleams of 

 sunshine that struggled through the rents in the clouds late in the day 

 failed to mitigate the marrow-chilling dampness and but feebly bright- 

 ened the dank and heavy air that hung like a pall over that lovely por- 

 tion of the Mohawk Valley, where the shooting ground is situated. 

 The day did not open quite so threateningly, and when the writer left 

 Ms home in Albany on the early morning "accommodation," the wind 

 was northwest, and it seemed as though the hearty puffs would 

 assuredly drive away the heavy vapor folds of bluish gray that shad- 

 owed the earth, and whose darkening effect so grudgingly gave way to 

 the increasing light of day; but the wind slowly veered around to the 

 dreaded eastern quarter, and then came the intermittent drizzle and 

 drip that marked that doleful May day. 



Always ahead of time, if possible, Forest and Strram's Albany cor- 

 respondent was in the New York Central Depot before the train was 

 announced as ready, and here I found quite a little gathering of 

 sportsmen bound for the Canajoharie shoot. First, there was Johnny 

 Sanders, the best shot of his age in the .League, and George Knowles, 

 who from his partiality to saddle-horses is known as the "tall 

 trooper," both of my own '"gang;" then "Uncle Sammy" Goggin of 

 Troy strode in, followed by his brother Trojans, Warren F. Lord, tne 

 ex-champion pigeon shot of four counties, John T. Betts and Gus 

 Buesser, the latter looking as mournful as a beaten gamecock at being 

 knocked out of going with the boys by the inexorable ''chained to 

 business." On the train we found another Albaniau, C. E. Arnold, 

 with H, M. Levengston, Jr., and W. H. Gibbs of Saratoga's once 

 famous team of shooters, and from the Vichy drinkers we learned that 

 another one of the "Big Four," W. H. Bockes, would be en route to 

 the shoot later. There were also in the shooters' coach Dr. B. D. 

 Mosher, a leading spirit in an ambitious gun club at Granville, N. Y., 

 and M. F. Roberts, who long since established himself as a supreme 

 favorite not only as a dead shot, but as a most companionable gentle- 

 man among the shooters of eastern New York, though he is a resident 

 of Rupert, Vt. 



The ride up the Central was uneventful, and I noted as we sped 

 along the north bank of the rushing Mohawk, swollen by the rains to 

 a turgid, roaring flood, that the aDglers had been knocked out of the 

 pleasures of the rod, and I chuckled a little to think that the few re- 

 maining bass and pike would have a further respite from capture on 

 even this, the lawful opening day. Indeed, at Hoffman's Ferry and 

 Crane's- Village, where the train usually disgorges a lot of pecfieurs, 

 not a solitary rodman was to be seen. At a station further up. our 

 knot of sober-faced gunners was brightened by the entrance of the 

 tall blonde shooter, Robert M. Hartley, president of the Riyerview 

 Gun Club of Amsterdam, a well known and popular member of the 

 League and a thorough gentleman sportsman whose capable writings 

 have frequently graced the columns of the sportsmen's press. 



Well, here we are at Palatine Bridge, from whence we are to cross 

 the river on an ancient wooden structure to Canajoharie. As we clam- 

 bered into a long carryall, I noticed that our train had brought two 

 of the "Johnstown giants," Fred W. Partiss and Jas. F. Piersons. 

 Overcoats ai e hurriedly donned, for the mist-laden air is raw and chill, 

 and only the exuberant spirits of a party of hardy gunners could 

 have been proof against the discomfort of the ride through muddy 

 thoroughfares and down the canal bank to the Bhooting ground. Be- 

 fore W e reached the familiar low, level flat, on one of the broadest and 

 most verdant reaches of the great valley, a rattle of guns at the firing 

 pojnts showed that the local contingent was on hand, and many greet- 

 ings were received from the leading spirits of the club, Dr. S. A. Wes- 

 sels, Charlie Weeks, Harry Bancroft. Chas. W. Scharff and T. C. Peg- 

 nim. Hello! what a lot of stranger. There's Dan Lef ever. sure. Great 

 Beotti will that sturdy gunmaker ever grow old? He looks exactly as 

 he did twenty years ago. And here's another gun manl Dick King, 

 bronzed and brawny, capable of shooling a rattling pace, and talking 

 up the merits of the "New Baker" in a cyclone of logic. Speaking of 

 gun men, I must not forget to mention Geo. A. MoBher, of Syracuse, 

 who arrived later, to have a good time with the shooters and incident- 

 ally to Bhow the Hollenbeck hammerless, man aud gun being especial 

 favorites with my gang. Ah, there, Cruttyl an-i Will Cruttenden, the 

 Oazenoyia sawed-off of kingbird fame, turns from his chronic hustling 

 fo greet his friends, which includes everybody. 



Hold on, I haven't mentioned among the Syraouseana a young fel- 

 low who promises great things as a shooter, and the boys, one and all 

 want to keep an eye on Charlie Lathrop. Here is a tall* fellow with a 

 well knit figure, looking every inch the trained sportsman that he is; 

 a familiar face at the State and other prominent meets for years, but 

 although I have been on the circuit for many moons I have not' had 

 the luck to run against him, to know him, since the State meet at 

 Albany in 1889. He is a wonder at stirring things up at a shoot 

 whether telling spicy stories, cracking jokes that appall the uniniti- 

 ated, making the managers of a shoot red in the face to keep up with 

 his ideas, shooting a pace that will spur the best in the land to keep 

 up with him, or ogling the pretty maids with whom he seems to catch 

 on as successfully as "Prince Harvey." Add to these a fluent com- 

 mand of good "United States," well set off by a gentle and polished 

 manner, and no one in the swim will fail to recognize in this k ketch 

 Wm. P. Rayland, of Newburgh. There is another Roberts present be- 

 sides the Vermonter. He is from Canastota, and to distinguish him 

 from the Green Mountain man we have placed him in the scores as 

 "Roberto." There were other arrivals later, among them G. V. Hart- 

 ley and C. W. Scharff, Jr., and in the goodly crowd of spectators that 

 thronged the firing points and gathered in the shelter of the canvas 

 throughout the day I noticed Mat Dubois, an Albauy trap shot 



The shooting was performed on the rapid-fire system, over 5 traps 

 known, traps and unknown angles. The programme was a very loug 

 pnp, consisting of three 10-bird. five 15-bird, two 30-bird and one r '5- 

 b'rd events, the entrance fees ranging from $1.30 to ?>3.50. In the 10- 

 bird events the purses were divided 40,30 20 and IK- in the 15-bh-d 

 S4, 22, 20, 18 and lfe; in the 20 and 25-bird, 22, 20, 18, 1G.' 14 and 10^, The 

 Bhooting was made difficult not only by the sharp angles and low 

 elevations at which the birds were thrown, but by their often wobbling 

 and uncertain flight. How well the undaunted shooters performed 

 under tae adverse conditions of hard birds and cold, raw, drizzling 



weather that might have discouraged a Labrador fisherman, may be 

 judged by a perusal of the detailed scores:

Notwithstanding the large number of birds thrown from a single 

 battery, the tournament concluded long before sundown. The rain 



had ceased falling and the raw atmosphere seemed to have changed 

 to a softer character when the gunners gathered at the Wagner 

 House, where the evening was enlivened by a public concert given by 

 the tine band of the village. Brother Rayland was in great form when 

 the Albanians pulled out and reluctantly let t the good company that-

Shooting was of the highest order taking the birds into considera- 

 tion. Thev were as fine a lot as ever left traps without preparing 

 them. Some of the kills where something wonderful and grand, 

 especially those of Morgan; his ninth was a towering right-quartering 

 and was lightning fast, which he missed with first but reached with 

 second, falling inside of ft nee. Wright was in hard luck, losing three 

 birdS over fence after hitting them all hard. Morfey's fourth was a 

 fastright-quarterer and a clean miss. Hopper was in hard luck with 

 his birds, which were in most instances hit with both barrels lightly. 

 There were only about three birds that were out of company with the 

 rest; Morfey's fifth, killed at the trap, Hopper's fifteenth, at trap, and 

 Morgan's tenth, a slow incomer which was hit lightly and retrieved 

 by dog inside of the fence. Ddtcher.
