Thursday was a Warm Day 



and everybody perspired to their full bent. The crowl was not as 

 large as on the previous days, a large number of shooters having ex- 

 pended all their reserve energy and cash, and leaving for home, while 

 others declared it too hot to shoot and lolled under the tents. 



The event of most interest was the team championship at targets in 

 which the Syracuse Gun Club pulled out the fine total of 96 of a possi- 

 ble 100 breaks, winning the championship, a $30 onyx clock, 1,000 car- 

 tridges and $10 in cash, an aggregate of $61. Right on their trail came 

 the Oneida County Sportsmen's team No. 1 with 95 breaks, their prize 

 being $25. The third prize was $20 and the fourth $15. 



Beside the regular prizes there were six average prizes offered for 

 the most aggregate breaks in State events 1, 2, 4 , 5 and 6, shot during 

 the -week, their value being, in order, $75, $45, $30, $20, $10 and 



The day's scores are here shown: 



State event No. 5, $400 guaranteed, 25 single*, entry $4:

Friday, the Final Target Day, 

 was extremely hot and murky and everybody was decidedly uncom- 

 fortable. The attendance was about the same as on the previous dav 

 there being new arrivals enough to make up for those who had left for 

 home. 



An interesting event of the morning, though not a part of the tour- 

 nament proper, was a live bird match shot on the grounds of the 

 Oneida County Sportsmen's Association, between Geo. Holloway and 

 W. S. Hookway, both of Syracuse. The conditions were 25 birds per 

 man, for $25 a side and the birds, five traps 30yds. rise, fence bound- 

 ary on front and sides, gun below the armpit until bird was on the 

 wing, otherwise Hurlingtiam rules to govern. The officials aud score-, 

 were as follows: Referee on birds, Jacob Pentz; referee on guns M 

 F. Lindsley; scorer, C. H. Townsend; judge and handler for Hookwav 

 Geo. Mann; judge for Holloway, A. G. Courtney, handier, J {*' 

 Knowlton; trap-puller, Al Heritage; manipulator of the die Dan Le 

 fever; furnisher and handler of birds, J. W. Fulford.

It was the unanimous opinion of all present that Hookwav had the 

 luck of the birds in his favor, although none of the birds were 

 "duffers." In fact, they were a good lot for the season, some being 

 veritable "screamers," and were furnished by John W Fulford who 

 also provides the birds for to morrow's State and sweepstake events 

 Some of the best birds of the race were Holioway's 3d, which made '

mer; 23d, hit hard with first and got behind target screen to right 

 or traps before second could have, been fired, but was gathered- if it 

 had got away he would have been allowed another bird. 



To return to the tournament grounds after above digression. Dur- • 

 ing afternoon the tie between Corning and Meyer was shot off at 25 

 targets each, Corning winning the tie and the$100 stake by one target. 

 Ihey will sboot two more matches this month, one at Rochester and 

 one at Auburn, the stake being $100 a side in each match, with a side 

 wager of $100 on the best two out of three. 



The 50-target race for the State j champion ship was one of the dav, 

 this having thirty-six entries. The honors were captured by Kelsey, - 

 of the Union Gun Club of Buffalo, on a clean score, E. D. Fulford and 

 Glover being warm on his trail with 48 each. 



Then came the match at 20 singles and 5 pairs for the Lefever dia- 

 mond medal, for which George Mosher of Syracuse, E. D. Fulford of 

 Utica and J . R. Tallett of Watertown tied on 29 breaks each. Instead 

 of occupying the traps by shooting off they decided that Mosher take 

 the medal, Fulford and Tallett dividing the money. Paddock and War- 

 ner scored 28 each. 6 



There is no doubt but the event which attracted the most interest of 

 any shot during the week was State event No. 10, at 15 targets, open 

 to representatives of the press only. In this contest Col Charles 

 Mowry of the Sporting Goods Gazette shot at 30yds. rise. The other 

 entries were C, H. Townsend, trap editor of Forest and Stream; 

 Major J M. Taylor, representing the American Field, and Jacob 

 Fentz of Shooting and Mshing. When the match began, on Battery 

 No 4, all the other traps were deserted and everybody took position 

 in the grand stand or near the shooters. Col. Mowry opened the ball 

 and by the exercise of phenomenal care and superb judgment suc- 

 ceeded in having 10 breaks placed to his credit. The three Others then 

 shot from the 16yd. mark, Major Taylor winning first with 13 breaks 

 Pentz and Townsend tieing with Mowry. They immediately shot off

Saturday was Live Bird Day 



and a scorching day it was, a day, however, on which the famous 

 General, Hugh Midity, released the grip which he had held on the 

 atmosphere during the week and allowed people to breathe more 

 freely. At noon the mercury marked 88, at 1 P. M. 90 and at 2 P M 

 it showed 91. There was a brisk breeze, however, during the entire 

 day and this made life bearable. On Friday evening all the target 

 screens had been removed from the field, and three sets of traps were 

 also taken away, this giving room for the live bird contests T..e 

 arranging of the grounds and the furnishing of the pigeons for tb£ 

 live bird shooting was in charge of John W. Fulford 



It was shortly after 9 A. M. before the opening event, at 5 live birds 

 $3 entry, three moneys, was called, this being ended at 10-10 At 31 

 A M, when the Dean Richmond trophy contest was called.'t-here » ere 

 a fair number of spectators on the grounds, and before the race was 

 ended they numbered close to 1,000. 



The Dean Richmond trophy, for 3-men teams, is valued at SI. 100, 

 and tins together with 60 per cent, of the entry fees, goes to the 

 h f best club, the next m order getting 40 per cent, of the en trance fee 

 which is |30 per team, each man shooting at 15 pigeons. The shoot 

 had eleven regular entries, and the New York County Gun Club be ne 

 allowed to shoot for the birds. 6 

 The race was close all the way through, first one team and then 

 another forgmg to the front. T. H. Keller was referee, Jacob Pent" 

 and C. H. Townsend doing the scoring, The birds were a fine lot of 

 flyers for the season, and wagers were offered that no team would 

 score better than 40. The members of all the teams were on their 

 mettle, however, and at the finish it was seen that the Oneida Countv 

 bportsmen s Association and New Utrecht Gun Club teams had scored 



^r? ^ U f mg J°l flr 1 st T hey agreed t0 divide the cash and 



bhoot off for the trophy at 5 birds per man. The birds used in the 

 shoot-off were all "hummers," and a fine exhibition resulted The 

 JSew Utrechts lost only one bird, this being Ferguson's fifth bird 

 which fell as though dead when the first cracked, was hit hard while 

 on the ground with the second, and then, much to the surpriie of all 

 it arose and flopped over the fence, falling dead into the limpid waters 

 of the romantic Mohawk. The Oneida County team trilled 12 The 

 Whitestown Gun Club took second prize with 41 kills. In this contest 

 Downs, Glover and Richardson used 10-bores, C. Ferguson 3d a 16 

 bore, and all the others used;i2-bores. The team of the West' New 

 burgh Rifle and Gun Association had lost 6 birds up to the seventh 

 round, when they withdrew. Rayland lost 2 birds dead out of 

 bounds. One of the features of the team race was the shooting of 

 young Ferguson on the New York County team. Ferguson is twelve 

 years of age and is a master hand with the gun.
