CLIMAX VERSUS KEYSTONES AT YARDVILLE. 
Dec. 26.— The third match in a series of three arranged between 
members of the Climax Gun Club, of Plainfield, N. J., and the Keystone 
Shooting League, of Philadelphia, Pa., was shot to-day on Zwirlein's 
grounds at Yardville, N. J. The first match took place on the Climax 
Club's grounds last spring, the home team winning by two birds; in 
the second match, which of course took plica on the Keystone's 
grounds at Holmesburg Junction, the tables were turned, the Climax 
men being defeated. It was agreed that the deciding match should 
take place on the Yardville grounds (neutral grounds), about halfway 
between New York and Philadelphia. 
The date for this match was set somewhat in a hurry, very little 
time being allowed for getting out the full strength of both clubs. It 
was owing to this fact that the Climax showed up on the grounds with 
only 10 shooters, five oth«rs who had promised to attend failing for 
various reasons to show up on the appointed day. After the arrival 
of the teams at Yardville it was some time before an arrangement was 
made to pick 10 men from the Keystones, Captain Joe Learning of 
that club of course doing the choosing, and to shoot that number of 
men against the Climax team of a similar number. As the Keystone 
captain had come along with 16 men, it was naturally a great disap- 
pointment to some of his men not to shoot; it also unfortunately de- 
volved upon him the unpleasant duty of selecting a 10-men team from 
16 men who had come prepared to shoot. 
The conditions under which the match was shot were as follows: 15 
live birds per man, 30yds. rise all, Yardville fence boundary (50yds. 
with a fence 8ft. high around it). A. S. A rules, losing team to pay for 
birds, the winners also taking a pool of $5 per man. Mr. Joha E. 
Hack, a member of the Keystone Shooting League, acted very accept- 
ably as referee. The 15 birds per man were shot in the following 
manner; The men were divided into squads of six, three men from 
each team, a member of each team shooting alternatively, the squads 
shooting 5 birds per man and retiring until every man had fired at 5 
birds; the same process was adhered to in the second series of 5 birds; 
as soon as each man on the two teams had fired at 10 birds, the last 
five rounds were shot right down the list, man for man. 
An optional sweep of $5 was also gotten up and shot in connection 
with the team race; this was an individual affair and had nineteen 
entries, the purse of $95 being divided into three moneys, class shoot- 
ing. Jim Elliott, Ed Johnson, I. K, Wolstencroft, J. Thurman and Joe 
Learning all put up their $5 and shot along with the boys. 
The race needs very little special mention, as at no time after the 
first few rounds was the contest at all close, the Climax men winning 
easily by 11 birds, the scores showing 130 to 119 Out of the first 100 
birds for each team (10 birds to a man) the Climax team put up the 
great total of 91, having at that stage of the race a lead of 8 over 
their opponents. • 
For the Climax Uncle Billy Sigler was well to the fore with a straight 
run of 15, 14 of them one-barrel kills; his 10th bird, a hard one, needed 
the contents of the second barrel that Uncle Billy promptly put into 
him after missing the bird with the first barrel. Louis Schortemeier, 
Scott Terry and Aaron Woodruff, all three shot excellently. Schorty 
being sure of drawing a hard bird every time he went to the score. 
Woodruff and Terry both hit the birds they lost, Woodruff's appar- 
ently receiving a good share of both loads of shot. Neaf Apgar and 
Bill Clark scored 13 a piece, Clark being seemingly a sure straight up 
to the end of the 10th round; his 11th bird managtd to reach the top 
of the fence, although its left wing was practically no use to it; the 
scouts saw that it got no further. Fred Quimby was the life and soul 
of the party, guying everybody alike and bringing down 12 out of his 
15 birds, tieing Harry Thurman, with whom he was shooting for the 
price of the birds; he lost his last bird just when he had his opponent 
surely beaten. Charlie Zwirlein and Dan Terry each killed 12, draw- 
ing their share of hard ones. Allen Willey struck snags in his 9th, 
10th, 11th and 12th birds, all of which he lost, his total showing 11 kills. 
W. H. Wolstencroft, as he has often done before, headed the team 
he was shooting on with a straight score of 15; he shot brilliantly and 
made some great kills. Next to him were I. W. Budd and W M. Pack- 
each man scored 14 by good woik, Pack being one of the best and' 
quickest second-barrel shooters we have seen; his work was especially 
noticeable from the fact that he threw away his first barrel time after 
time, rectifying the blunder instantly with a grand second. Jimmy 
Wolstencroft, a first-rate live bird shot, most unexpectedly lost his 
first two birds; that was enough for him and he settled right down 
killing his last IS without a falter. Harry Thurman followed Jimmy 
Wolstencrof t's example and let his first two birds get away from him ■ 
he ended with 12, tieing Landis, who lost three birds, every one of 
them hit hard. W. H. Pack and John Eothacker— the latter shooting 
in his usual bang-bang style— scored 11 each. Wade Wilson, who 
made the longest kill of the day (his first bird) scored 10. Howard 
Ridge, a really excellent shot who has done some great shooting at 
the home grounds, was in hard luck all through the match; he drew a 
succession of corkers and hit many a bird that got away to help fill 
the pockets of the scouts outside the fence. 
Among those who shot along for the $5 optional sweep, Jim Elliott, 
who was, of course, shooting his Winchester, killed 13, and it was a 
marvel how his 8th bird got out of bounds. J. Thurman shot very 
steadily, scoring 12, while Johnson, who drew as hard birds as any of 
those that were trapped, killed 11. 
The account of this shoot cannot be closed without saying a word 
of thanks to Charlie Zwirlein on behalf of the teams for the manner 
in which he entertained them, dinner being provided free for the mem- 
bers of both teams and their friends. Generous treatment of this 
kind is so seldom met with that when found it must "be made a note 
of." As for the dinner itself, it was like the rest of such affairs at 
Zwirlein's; the slang phrase "out of sight" fits it to a T. 
The birds were a capital lot; had there been any wind at all the 
scores would have been materially reduced, while a straight would 
have been improbable. The secret of Zwirlein's success with his 
birds is, we believe, due largely to his manner of securing and feed- 
ing them prior to the shoot. He buys good country birds, paying a 
fair price for them; they are then placed in his coop, where they have 
plenty of room to exercise and keep their muscles and appetites in 
trim. Their diet, too, is a matter he looks after personally. We have 
yet to see the first lot of poor birds trapped at Charlie Zwirlein's.

ENDEAVOR GUN CLUB. 
Dec. 35 —The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., had an all-day 
shoot to-day at its grounds, Marion, N. J. The attendance was not as 
large as we expected, but those present had an enjoyable shoot. Louis 
Piercy, the 14-year-old son of G. Piercy, showed us some excellent 
work with his gun, killing 9 out of 10 from the 27yds. mark, the bird 
he lost being a hard driver from No. 5 trap that would have kept auy- 
body guessing; all his birds were killed clean, his second barrel being 
used with capital judgment. The best work in the target events was 
done by Proctor, who broke 24 out of 25 in the main event, the club's 
monthly prize shoot, No. 4 in the target eveDt3. Carl von Lengerke 
took part m the first live-bird event and was the only one to go straight, 
his nearest competitor being G. Piercy with 8 out of 10. It is the inten- 
tion of the club to use live birds as well as targets in the club's prize 
shoots of the coming season. As the scores will show, several ot the 
boys need practice at that branch of trap-shooting, especially the 
secretary of the club. Below are the scores in all the events: 
No. 1, 10 live birds, $5: C. von Lengerke 10, G. Piercy 8, Bordlson 7,

Phoenix Gun Club. 
Port Dover, Ont., Dec. 25.— This afternoon some members of the

little delay shooting did not commence until 2:30 P. M. The first 
event was at 10 live birds, $2 50 entrance, first barrel kills to count 100 
per cent,, second barrel kills 75 per cent. H. D. Williams won with 
7,75 per cent., A. W. Lawrie being second with 7.00 per cent. No. 2 was

Fine Rifles. 
The 1895-1896 catalogue of the J, Stevens Arms & Tool Co., of 
Chicopee Falls, Mass., coutains much of interest to every rifle shooter

most powerful and accurate of the small-bores, and has given very 
general satisfaction,
