Jan. A.— The gale which to-day blew across the grounds of the Boil- 
ing Springs Gun Club (Rutherford, N. J.), together with the intense 
cold, had a decided effect upon the scores made in the club shoot. 
This event is at 50 targets, 25 of which are shot at unknown angles 
and 25 at traps in reversed order. To-day's scores in brief are:

AT THE CARTERET CLUB. 
Jan. S.— The second contest for the Knapp $250 cup took place 
to-day; this cup must be won three times before becoming the prop- 
erty of any one member. At the first cup shoot Work won after 
shooting off a tie with E. F. Thomas, both men scoring 19 out of 20. 
Knapp won to-day's shoot without a tie, Lent not being entered for 
the cup, but only for the sweep shot in connection with the cup shoot. 
Knapp's score of 17 is a low one to win a heat without a tie when one 
considers that he was shooting against George Work, Fred Hoey, L. 
T. Duryea, E. F. Thomas and W. H. Stafford. The birds were not an 
extra hard lot at all. but the light was poor, and the mixed quality of 
the birds made the shooting hard. The extremely severe weather we 
have just gone through no doubt had a great deal to do with the slow- 
ness of several birds to start from the traps; cold feet in birds, as well 
as in human beings, are not conducive to activity of body. The mix- 
ture of blue and of white birds made it a guessing match very 
largely; on such a day, and with such a background, Newark Bay 
being frozen solid and covered with snow, the birds should have been 
either all white or else all blue. There was too much luck in the 
draw; a bluebird looked like a crow, while a white bird was some- 
thing after the nature of a creature from the other world. 
The surprise of the afternoon was the failure of Work to give 
Knapp or anybody else a run in the main event. His 8d, 4th and 5th 
birds all fell dead out of bounds, while his 7th and 8th, both hard hit, 
also got away. A total of 3 out of 8 is something so unusual' for 
Work that everybody began to think it must have been his shells that 
were at fault, but that could hardly have been the case, as they were 
the balance of a lot with which he won the cup on Saturday last, Jan. 
4, when he killed 63 out of 70 in very bad weather and on very hard 
birds. Work himself decided that the fault lay with the man and not 
with the gun or the shells, saying that he was off and was probably 
dwelling a bit and therefore not centering his birds. 
Knapp, as usual, shot really well; no amateur around here has any 
license to do more than break even with him, and no professional, 
barriDg perhaps one, has any right to give him any misses as kills in 
a 100-bird race on fast pigeons. Two of his loBt birds this afternoon 
were very mean ones to draw in such a light; both were low-flying 
left-quartering drivers from No. 2 trap, both had lots of white in 
them, and both fell dead out of bounds, the 19th bird only just clear- 
ing the 2ft. high wire fence. Duryea, who was fresh (not in the slang 
sense of that word) from his one-handed victory over G.W. Coulston, 
of the New Utrecht Gun Club, had the misfortune to lose the use of 
his gun just when he was in a fair way to make it interesting for the 
others. In the 8th round both barrels of his gun were discharged 
simultaneously on consecutive birds; as there was evidently something 
wrong with it he took Work's gun and shot along as best he could 
with a weapon that is very different in build from his own. W. W. 
Lent, after killing 13 straight in a snappy style, fell down on his 14th, 
15th and 18th birds, the two last-named being easy ones. He won 
second money in the shoot-off with Knapp. E F. Thomas, after los- 
ing his first 2 birds, finished with 16 and won third money. Thomas is 
hovering "betwixt and between;" he cannot decide on which style to 
shoot in. Naturally a slow and sure shot, he loses several birds that 
a quick second would land for him; he is now trying to quicken his 
time with both barrels, but says that the experiment is costly. "When 
I shoot in my old way, knowing when I pull the trigger that I'm right, 
I generally get into the money; now I'm nowhe r el" 
Stafford drew about the hardest birds of anybody. If there was a 
good one bottled up anywhere in the five traps Stafford was nearly 
sure to find it. His numerous early misses seemed to upset him, and 
it was not until his mentor, Knapp, gave him a little needed advice 
that he finally settled down and did some good work; it was then -too 
late for the cup race. That run of 7 straight with which he closed 
would have come in very handy in the miss-and-outs which concluded 
the afternoon's sport. Fred Hoey seemed to be more intent on devil- 
ing everybody else than in paying attention to the score. The con- 
sequence is manifest in his totals given below. Out of his five misses 
in the cup race, at least three should have resulted as kills. When he 
got down to business, vide the miss-and outs Nos. 5, 6 and 7, he shot 
very well, making a run of 16 straight, the longest run of the day, 
Lent's 13 straight in the cup race being the other run of any account 
during the afternoon. Those figures show how deceiving the light 
must have been. 
In the draw of the traps there was very little difference, owing to 
there being no decided wind to either help or aid the birds. Low-flying 
birds from any trap were hard ones to kill, owing to the bad back- 
ground. The following table shows how the traps fell, Nos. 1 and 2 
being specially favored, the latter trap being pulled 11 times out of 18 
in sweep No. 7:

BRADLEY AND HIS LITTLE QUAIL GUN. 
Jan. 9.— This afternoon Edgar Murphy had a preparatory bit of 
practice for the championship event at Larchmont to-morrow and 
Saturday. As a result of that practice a new light in the pigeon- 
shooting circles of New York flashed meteor like across the sky and in 
a very short time dowsed Mr. Murphy's glim effectually. The 
meteoric prodigy was a gentleman named Bradley; his weapon — "a 
little quail gun." 
It seems that Work and Bradley were recently having a talk about 
pigeon-shooting, the result being that Work matched Murphy to shoot 
a race with Bradley at Carteret this afternoon for a certain consider- 
ation, the conditions of the match being as follows: Murphy to con- 
cede his opponent 10 dead birds and 10yds.— that is, Murphy was to 
shoot at 100 birds, 30yds. rise; Bradley with a start of 10 straight was 
to shoot at 90 birds, 20yds. rise. The rest of the story of the match 
had better be told as nearly as possible in Murphy's own words: 
"While we were at breakfast this morning in walked Bradley and 
said: 'Well, here I am ; I may make a fool of myself at the traps, but 
you can't say that I'm bluffing.' On our way down to the grounds 
Wallie (Lent) wanted to bet with me that I'd win, and argued very ably 
that it would be to my advantage to h«dge a little. I looked at 'the 
little quail gun' and thanked him sincerely, but firmly refused to 
make the bet. At the grounds I went out and shot my 10 birds, killing 
9, so that he had only 1 bird the start of me with 90 yet to shoot. It was 
easyl Then Bradley went to the score; Yale Dolan was refereeing 
the match; he said to Yale, 'Will you make a mark in the snow where 
I'm to stand, as I shouldn't like to do anything wrong.' The mark 
was made and he called 'Pull.' Out went a good bird and pit-pat 
went his two barrels, the bird being closed up entirely. I whistled, but 
went out and killed. His next bird Bradley pit-patted as he did the 
first; it waB awful, and I began to think I was up against it. I wast 
After he had pit-patted his 3d bird I went up to Wallie and took him 
by the hand, saying, 'Wallie, old fellow, you're a good friend of mine, 
and I've been thinking over that bet you offered to mate and I think 
I'll let you have it; you can have it, old boy,' and I squeezed his hand 
affectionately. Wbdt do you think Wallie did? He gave me the 
marble heart, saying, 'You go ,' you know the rest. Then I felt 
more certain I was up against it. 
"After Bradley had killed 24 out of the first 25 he shot at, somebody 
asked him, 'Did you ever shoot pigeons before, Mr. Bradley?' He said 
he had once, in PariB. 'Whom did you shoot with?' 'Oh, a count 
somebody or other, you know his name,' mentioning a certain well- 
known European shot. 'Did he beat you?' 'No, I beat him,' quietly 
answered Mr. Bradley. Was I in it? Then Bradley at last missed a 
bird, his 36th. Some of us said, 'Now watch him fall down.' He 
killed 30 straight while we were watching and waiting for him to fall 
down. I fell; he didn't; I fell five times— big, hard bumps. It was so 
monotonous, too, watching Bradley go out and bring down his bird 
with his 'little quail gun.' I asked him oncB, 'Mr. Bradley, do you 
ever shoot quail?' 'Sometimes,' said he. 'Do you ever miss one?' 
said I. 'Haven't missed one in three years,' said hel Was I it, or 
was he? I was. If George Work finds any more easy things of Mr. 
Bradley's character and capabilities, he may make his own matches 
and shoot them, too. I'm Gone." 
As a matter of fact, Bradley killed 83 out of 90 shot at in the match 
five of the lost birds falling dead out of bounds. Murphy retired at the 
end of the 93d round hopelessly in the rear. To show what sort of a 
chance Murphy had, he killed 83 out of 93, while Bradley killed 83 out 
of 90! Mr. Bradley until to-day was comparatively unknown in trap- 
shooting circles. It will be of interest to see what he can do at 30yds. 
with a regular pigeon gun. He used his second barrel in this match 
with excellent judgment and effect, scoring several hard birds with 
it. There was really only one bird that there was any question about 
as to whether it was hit at all or not. 
At the end of the 75th round Dolan took a hand and shot along the 
last 25 birds. He killed 25 straight. A snowstorm was falling all 
the time of the match, but the flakeB seemed to have very little 
effect on the birds. They were good birds and strong flyers. The 
scores were:

DURYEA MAKES A GREAT SCORE. 
Jan. 7.— Louis Duryea shot a wonderful race to-day with George W. 
Coulston, on the grounds of the New Utrecht Gun Club, at Woodlawn, 
L. L The conditions of the race were: 50 live birds per man, $100 a 
side, Duryea to stand at 28yds. and use one hand, Coulston to stand at 
32yds. and allowed the use of both hands. 
On Jan. 1 Coulston easily defeated Duryea in a somewhat similar 
match, the only difference being that both men then stood at 80yds. 
The wind that day made the birds extremely hard to locate with even 
both hands, and the result of the match, as told in our last issue, was: 
Coulston 25, Duryea 15, the latter retiring in the 32d round. To-day 
the birds were good ones, but they could not get away from Duryea, 
who scored 47 out of his 50, 1 falling dead out of bounds. Coulston 
scored 40, losing the match by 7 birds. Duryea was using a 73410s.

CONEY ISLAND ROD AND GUN CLUB. 
Jan. 6.— The Coney Island Rod and Gun Club held its regular 
monthly shoot to-day at Dexter Park. Fred Pfaender won the badge 
after a prolonged shoot-off of the tie with Charles Plate, the latter 
forcing him to kill 8 straight before winning the badge. The birds 
were good ones, and the weather conditions were favorable for the 
pigeons. The scores in the club shoot, and in a sweep shot after the 
club shoot was decided, were as follows:

Jan. 9.— Thirteen members of the Unknown Gun Club, of Brooklyn , 
took part to-day in the live-bird shoot at Dexter Park for a gold medal 
and three cash prizes in a driving snowstorm. Some of the members 
present backed out, not liking to face the storm; but the unlucky num- 
ber of thirteen did good shooting all the same. The only trouble was 
too many white birds; it was hard to tell the difference between white 
birds and snow. 
After the shoot the yearly prizes were distributed as follows: First 
prize, H. Knebel; second. E. A. Vroome; third, M. Chichester; fourth, 
J. Akhurst; fifth, J. B. Voorhis; sixth, Dr. Little; seventh, J. Banling; 
eighth, H. Houseman; ninth, J. Flynn ; tenth, P. Sweeney; eleventh, 
H. Boemerman; twelfth, A. Ramppen; thirteenth, L. Kolb; fourteenth, 
T. B. Potter. 
The election of officers took place with the following result: Henry 
Knebel, President; E. A. Vroome, Vice-President; H. Van Staden, 
Treasurer; John Knebel, Secretary. 
Conditions of the shoot: 7 birds, club rules, gold medal for best 
yearly average, three cash prizes for each monthly shoot, also yearly 
prizes in four out of twelve shoots. The medal for 1895 was a tie be- 
tween Knebel and Vroome. The tie will be shot off by agreement in 
March. The Miiuchener Brewing Co.'s gold medal will be shot for this 
year. 
Five new members were elected at this shoot, and that, too, right in 
a snowstorm, when sitting around the stove was about the only place 
to enjoy one's self. The following is the result of the shoot:
