two— Chris Meyer and Harry Heyer— killed their 7 birds straight. The 
scores count in the yearly averages for prizes when the season closes. 
After the club shoot, Meyer and F. A. Thompson shot a series of 
10-bird races, with the results as below : 
C M Meyer (28) 2212122—7 Dr Halsey (28) 1202220—5

KNAPP AGAIN DEFEATS WORK, 
Jan. 15.— On fast birds, with a northwest wind to aid them, J. P 
Knapp again, and for the second time this season, defeated George 
Work in a 100-bird race with the greatest ease, leading him at the 
close by no less than 8 birds; the scores were: 87-79. Everybody 
who knows the shooting qualities of the two men is well aware that 
the above does not represent correctly the difference between them, 
although George Work has gone off somewhat in his shooting of late. 
Last season these two shot four 100-bird races, breaking even; this 
season, thus far, they have shot two races, and in both, as stated 
above, Knapp was easily the best man of the pair. In to-day's race 
Work had very bad luck with his birds, a dozen of them falling dead 
out of bounds. John S. Hoey acted as referee, Superintendent Mott 
pulling the traps and keeping the official score. The scores were:

ERIE GUN CLUB'S ANNUAL MEETING. 
Jan. 16. — The annual meeting of the Erie Gun Club, of Brooklyn, 
N. Y., was held this evening at 352 Van Brunt street. The condition 
of the club was found to be entirely satisfactory, the secretary's re- 
port showing that it had 22 members in good standing, while tha 
treasurer's report credited the club with a balance of ov*r $80. 
During the season of 1895 there were twelve monthly shoots, the 
average attendance at the shoots being 15. Prizes for the best yearly 
averages are given in all three classes — A, B and C. In Class A the 
prizes will go to either W. Lair or Charles Plate, these two being tied 
for it; the Class B trophy was won by Henry Miller, J. H. Plate and 
C. H. Luhrsen tieing for the prize in Class C. This year there will be 
four class prizes, in addition to which there will be two special prizes: 
one for the man who attends the greatest number of the monthly shoots 
and has the largest score, and the other for the man who attends the 
greatest number of club shoots and has the smallest aggregate score.

erick Gref; Vice-President— H. Dohrmann; Secretary— C. H. Luhrsen;

of the club were reduced to $5, the treasury of the club showing such 
an excellent balance.

tween the New Utrecht and Boiling Springs Gun clubs took place to- 
day on the former's grounds at Bay Ridge. The targets were thrown 
very hard and fast, being lined up and down the screen; this accounts 
for the scores made. Boiling Spring.— Lenone 23, McAlpin 33, Simpson

DURYEA AND HOEY SHOOT A TIE RACE. 
Jan. 1S.—L, T. Duryea and Fred. Hoey shot a 100-bird race, 30yds. 
rise, 21yds. boundary, at the Hollywood grounds this afternoon. The 
birds were a magnificent lot, and were furnished by Superintendent 
Lumbreyer, of the Carteret Club, from that club's lofts. Their speed 
was very great, making the short boundary seem even shorter than it 
was. Fred. Hoey shot a great uphill race, tieing Duryea on the 99th 
round. It was agreed to shoot the race over again on some future 
date. At the end of the first 25 Duryea led by 2 birds, increasing his 
lead in the next 25 to 4. The third 25 saw them break even on 21 each, 
but with a lead of 4 to overcome in 25, Hoey went to work and killed 
24 to Duryea's 20. 
Both men shot i© excellent form, many of the birds being scored by 
really marvelous work with the gun. It took just . two minutes over 
the two hours to shoot the 200 birds. Hoey called 8 no birds, Duryea 
2, making a total of 10 altogether. John S. Hoey, of course, was 
referee. The score, showing flight of birds, etc., is as follows:

In New Jersey. 
AT THE RIVERTON GUN CLUB. 
Jan. 10.— To-day was the date for the deciding match in the New 
Utrecht-Riverton series of three live-bird races. Each club had to 
date won one, and the ultimate ownership of a very handsome cup 
depended upon the result of to day's match. The shoot took place on 
the Riverton Club's grounds, and the club had provided some excel- 
lent birds for the occasion. A strong wind across the traps from left 
to right made the pigeons hard to locate, the consequence being that 
some excellent shots fell down very badly. 
The teams were 10 men a side, each man shooting at 20 birds. Out 
of the 20 men, so good were the birds that not a single shooter made a 
Straight, while only two— Macalester and Davis, both Riverton men- 
made 19, Macalester's 20th bird falling dead out of bounds just when 
he looked certain to go straight. Yale, Dolan, Sterling and Downing 
made 18 each for the Rivertons, the five high men for this team scor- 
ing 4 more birds than the five high men on the New Utrecht team. 
For the latter team, Chris Meyer, Charlie Morris and Louis Sehorte- 
meier all scored 18, while Dr. Wynn and Louis Duryea scored 17 apiece. 
The result was close, the New Utrechts winning by just 3 birds, as 
per the following score: Conditions: 20 live birds, 20yds. rise, 50yds.

CLIMAX GUN CLUB. 
Jan. 16— The Climax Gun Club, of PlainOld, N. J., held its first 
regular monthly shoot for the season of 189G this afternoon. The 
weather was perfect for target-shooting and, as a consequence, some 
large scores were made. The club shoot is at targets, ranging in num- 
ber from 25 to -35, no breaks over 25 counting for points in the yearly 
prize contest. For a score of 30, 1 point is scored to the shooter; for 
31, 2 points, and so on, up to 25, 6 points being the maximum in any 
one shoot. The targets are thrown at unknown angles. 
After the shoot the annual meeting was held for the purpose of dis- 
tributing the prizes and electing officers for 1896. 
The scores in the club shoot were:

Sparrows vs. Pigeons. 
Williamsburg, Ind. — During the past year a good many of 
us in this section have been shooting English sparrows at the trap, 
and find them very satisfactory. They are as hard to hit as pigeons, 
but I think fewer of the hit ones get out of bounds. In killing spar- 
rows the shooters are ridding the country of an unmitigated nuisance, 
instead of killing pigeons, that are so pretty and innocent that it goes 
against the conscience of a good many men to hurt them, and hurts 
the feelings of a good many tender-hearted people who do not shoot 
them, They are cheaper than the pigeons, costing here only 7 cents 
each. In many places they are so numerous that they could be fur- 
nished for a nominal price. Pigeon traps will do to trap them from,

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 8.— The Boston Gun Club inaugurated its 1896 
season this afternoon with its first shoot in its winter prize series on 
the club's grounds at Wellington. The attendance was very fair, 
while the scores made were decidedly satisfactory. The shooting of 
Miskay (Miss Kirkwood) during the whole affernoon, but particularly 
in the prize shoot, in which event she was easily first with a total of 20 
out of 31 shot at, was extremely good, 
The programme shot off was very varied: Nos. 1, 3, 4, 10 and 13 were 
at known angles; No. 8 at unknown angles; Nos. 2, 5 and 11 at re- 
versed order; Nos. 6, 7 and 9 at pairs. Scores in these events were:

Jan. 15.— The second prize shoot of the Boston Gun Club took place 
on the club's grounds this afternoon. Sixteen competed in the event 
of the afternoon— the merchandise priie shoot. Owing to a very high 
wind that made known angles as hard as unknown angles, to-day's 
scores did not approach those usually made. Representatives were 
present from the West Mpdford Gun Club, Dedham Sportsmen's Club

Chicago Traps. 
DEPARTED. 
Trap Swooter H. J. Wilson, of Emmetsburg, la., has gone back 
home. He has no races in Chicago, and will not have any. He can go 
to New York, Paris, Rome, London or Pekin and carry off the same 
sort of bluff he did here— namely, to insist as challenger on naming 
all the conditions, times and contestants of a series of races not less 
than fifteen in number, he posting $50 as a forfeit against a proposi- 
tion involving over $3,000. Chicago shooters like weight and distance, 
but not quite so much as this. Mr. Wilson will occupy no one's atten- 
tion after his "conditions" have been examined, and Chicago men will 
not join him any further in his apparent effort after notoriety. When 
he really wants to shoot and is willing to back his shooting ability he 
can come back, and will then be welcome. The following is all he 
wanted: 
To ten or more Chicago pigeon shooters: I herewith challenge you 
to shoot me a match at 100 live pigeons, from 5 unknown traps, for a 
purse of $100 each race, loser to pay for birds, under the following 
conditions: No match to take place except at Watson's Park. 
No challenge accepted singly; must be at least ten. No gun larger 
than 13-gauge and not to exceed 81bs.; lJ4oz. shot allowed; gun in any 
position. John Watson, referee and first stakeholder. 
lIThat the ten men accepting this challenge will also shoot five two 
men team races for $300 a Bide. 
That only one contestant can shoot twice— that is, once in the indi- 
vidual race and once in team race. 
That I have the right to name for any single-handed race the follow- 
ing numbers: "First, third, fifth, seventh and ninth. Ninth choice 
from the men who accept this challenge." 
That I have the right to name the first Ave contestants in the team 
races, the five men I select to constitute but one man for each team 
race. 
That I have the right to name days and dates by giving three days' 
notice, and also to name the number of races to occur daily. Matches 
to be shot not later than March 1. 
Wilson's team partner was to have been Fred Gilbert. Either or 
both these men can get matches here if they wish, and will come on a 
shooting and not talking basis. 
Pending the opening of the summer target season trap matters are 
extremely dull here. A few rattling matches at birds here would 
be extremely welcome to break a monotony which is growing ponder- 
ous, e. Hough.

Trap Around Pittsburg. 
herron hill's big TARGET SHOOT. 
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 14.— There were 21 entries in the 100-target race 
held to-day under the auspices of the Herron Hill Gun Club. The 
shoot took place on the groundH of the North Side Gun Club. The day 
being very cold, there was no record-breaking work, Alex. King and 
John Shaffer tieing for first place on 87 out of 100. Benton took sec- 
ond money with 86, Colteryhahn taking third with 84. Fourth money 
went to J. A. Penn, of Wheeling, W. Va., and McPherson, a Pitts- 
burger. 
A Pittsburg paper, in giving an account of the happenings of the 
day, says: "Old floss, if he keeps his agreement, will not shoot again 
for twelve months. He and Jim Crow agreed that whichever beat 
the other the loser should not touch a gun for a year. Crow won by 
one bird, but now Old Hoss repudiates the agreement. He says he 
did not miss 16 in any round, as did Elmer Shaner, and this entitles 
him to ignore the compact with Jim Crow." 
The conditions of the shoot and the scores were as follows: 
Shoot at 100 targets, $5 entrance, Krum traps, unknown angles, 
first money $25.30, second money $18.90, third money $13 60, fourth 
money $6.80: A. H. King 87, Shaffer 87, Benton 86, Colteryahn 84, Mc- 
Pherson 82, J. A. Penn 82, E. E Shaner 81, Bessemer 81, Nimrod 80, 
Lovett 72, Reed 79, J. Crow 76, Old Hoss 75, Wall 72, Stilley 70, Shaw 
69, Colt 66, Farmer 66, W. S. King 63, McWhorcer 54, Hendrickson 48.
