AT THE CARTERET ChVB. 
Jan, 29.— The attendance at to-day's regular Wednesday afternoon 
ihoot of the Carteret Club was very slim. Five shooters was all that 
Bould be mustered— Work, Knapp, Stafford, Lent and Morris. The 
latter indulged in some private practice prior to the arrival of the 
other shooters with a view to getting his hand in for a match that he 
pras booked for; having shot at a large number of birds before the 
eweepstakes began, he was quite ready to take a back seat when his 
feun broke down and had to be put away. As a result, the other four 
Enooters were kept busy walking to the score, twelve events being 
tabot off by 4:80. 
I There is very little to be said about to-day's shooting; everybody 
Iwaa in poor form, nobody seeming to be half trying. Misses were so 
■numerous that it became almost monotonous placing ciphers and 
little black dots on the score sheet. Knapp made the best average 
■pith 46 kills out of 57 shot at. Work came next with the low score of 
m kills to 61 shot at. Stafford scores 38 out of 60, Lent 27 out of 41 , and 
■Morris 12 out of 17. Work was shuoting an old gun of his, a Baker, 
fone with which he has done some great shooting in years past, but 
livhich has been laid on the shelf while its owner downed pigeons with 
b Purdey; the latter has been sent in for some repairs, bence the reap- 
pearance of the Baker on the scene. It is true that Work shot two or 
■three different kinds of shells during the afternoon, but that wouldn't 
■account altogether for his low score; the fact was he couldn't make 
■the gun go where he wanted to point it, as he did of old; it apparently 
■"fitted" him no longer. Peter Morris took a fancy to the gun and 
■went out and killed 5 straight with it, some of them rattling good 
■birds. 
Of the other shooters, Knapp shot well at times, but seemed to lose 
■interest, and consequently his time, at certain stages of the proceed- 
ings. This was particularly noticeable in No. 10 and in the first part 
lot No.- 11. He said he felt tired and slack, and he acted as if that was 
Ijust what was the matter with him. Stafford was away off, and, 
■drawing some very difficult birds, tried too hard to find them, getting 
plow and only filling his birds full of lead to see them drop dead out of 
■bounds. Lent was as erratic as usual, killing some good birds and 
(then slipping up on birds that anybody ought to kill. 
So many small sweeps were shot that the score given below may be 
la trifia confusing. Following are the results in detail: No. 1 was a 5- 
Ibird sweep, $5 entrance; Knapp won first money on 5, Stafford win- 
Ining second money on the shoot-off with Work and Lent. No. 2 was 
■the same as No. 1; at the end of the 5th round Morris had only to kill 
■to win first alone; he missed, letting in Stafford, Knapp and Lent; on 
•the shoot-off Knapp and Stafford divided first and second on the first 
bound. No. 8 was a $10 sweep, unlimited number of birds; 29yds. men 
land back, two misses and out; 28yds. men, three misses; 27yds. men 
land forward, four misses; Work and Lent divided, Work having killed 
•7 straight, and Lent being credited with 5 out of 6, with three more 
•misses up his sleeve, against Work's two misses. Both men were shoot- 
ling the same (Lent's) gun just then, and this was an important factor 
lin the decision in favor of a division. No. 4 was a 10-bird event, op- 
Itional $10 or $5 sweep; Knapp won first alone on 9 out of 10, Lent tab- 
ling second money with 8 to his credit. Nos. 5, 6 and 7 were $5 miss- 
land-outs; Knapp and Lent divided the first at the end of the 2d 
(round; Knapp and Work out up the other two at the end of the 1st 
I and 3d rounds respectively. Six rounds deciding three $5 events was 
la little too rapid, so recourse was had again to the favorite "5 birds, 
|$5, high guns." For some cause or other, probably a misunderstand- 
■ing, Knapp won No. 8 on 3 out of 4, although had Work killed his 5th 
■bird and Knapp lost his, the two would have been tied for first plaea. 
■Work and Knapp divided No. 9, and then Stafford shot out Knapp and 
■Work in No. 10. No. 11 was a curiosity; at the end of the 5th round 
■Work and Knapp were tied with 3 each, Stafford having lost 3 
■birds; on the shoot-off Knapp won at the end of the 2d round. In No. 
1 12 Knapp won first alone with 5 straight, Stafford shooting out Lent 
■ on the tie for second money. 
The last event we saw shot was a 5-bird race, $5 entrance, Bogardus 
■rules, with the exception that the shooters stood at the 25yds. mark. 
■That this was too far back under the conditions was clearly shown by 
I the scores made, Knapp winning with about 3 kills to only 1 or 2 to his 
1 opponents' credit. 
Considering that there was really little or no wind to help the birds, 
I Superintendent Lumbreyer had an excellent lot of flyers on hand. 
I They left the traps very fast and were very largely outgoing in flight. 
■The best bird trapped during the afternoon was Work's 5th in No. 4; 
I it was a pure white bird that lit out for Newark Bay as fast as it could 
I fly, twisting like an English snipe and apparently evading both 
I charges of shot. The weather was spring-like, the shooters sitting in 
I the sun behind the score as if it was May instead of the heart of win- 
I ter. The traps were pulled as follows:

THE TARGET HANDICAP AT ELIZABETH. 
Jan. SO.— The tournaments and other shoots held on the Elizabeth 
Gun Club's grounds have always been favored with fine weather; it 
has grown into a proverb with the New Jersey trap-shooters that 
Elizabeth shoots bring fine weather. To-day's target handicap race 
was no exception to the general rule, although it was perhaps the 
least favorable day for target shooting experienced by this organiza- 
tion. Early in the morning the sun came out bright and strong, the 
white frost on the roofs, sidewalks and lawns quickly disappearing 
There was every prospect of a lovely day, one like its predecessor,' 
Wednesday, one of the most perfect days of this remarkable winter. 
Between 10 and 11 a change came over the aspect of affairs: the clerk 
of the weather felt a touch of dyspepsia and turned off the sun 
Bending out a heavy leaden-colored pall to do duty for a sky, making 
everything gloomy and dull, turning what was originally a very fair 
background into something as near the color of the targets as one 
could imagine. The result is shown in the scores. Lower ones may 
have been made, but not on these grounds and not with such a body 
of Bhooters. Anybody who woulcl have been willing at the start to 
bet that 85 would win first money would have been laughed to scorn 
Tet J. S. Shaw won first money alone on 84 out of 112! 
The weather was not altogether to blame for the poor scores- the 
way the targets were thrown had a great deal to do with it. More diffi- 
cult shooting we have never seen. The targets were lined up and 
down the screen, the elevation at which they were thrown being en- 
tirely too low if A. S. A. rules were in force. This lowness of flight 
would not have been such a handicap had not the screen been too high 
by about a foot; a rightor left-quartering target from either Nos. 2, 3 or 
4 gained about 4 or 5yds. start of the shooter. With the targets thrown 
in such a manner, and with a background of a natural-colored fence, 
a few trees and a dark sky, it was no wonder the best of them fell 
down at times, the total scores suffering in consequence. 
We do not believe in making the shooting too hard; it is apt to dis- 
courage beginners and get the best shots guessing for a time at least. 
For this reason we approve most highly of the plan now adopted by 
the manufacturers of both the standard target traps— the bluerock 
and the empire— that of placing stops on the traps, so that extreme 
angles in either direction cannot be thrown at will by the trappers. 
The entry list could not but be satisfactory to the management; 
19 entries at $7 a head, $2 out of each $7 paying for the targets, is 
an entry to be proud of, and is decidedly encouraging for future 
efforts. We understand that similar handicap races will be run 
monthly, alternate months, at the Elizabeth grounds and at the 
grounds of the South Side Gun Club, of Newark, the next one being 
set for Feb. 28 at the South Side Gun Club's grounds. Besides the 
above 19 entries, the management permitted seven other shooters to 
enter the race for the price of the targets, making a total number of 
shooters just 26. Considering the number of targets required to be 
thrown to complete the shoot, something over 2,700 (including the 
handicaps), it seemed poor policy to permit men to enter for the 
birds; it does not matter so much when the sweeps are short and 
small, but it seems a wrong principle to allow a squad of 6 men to 
go out and keep the others, who have put up their money, waiting . 
while that squad shoots at 150 targets, 25 targets to a man. If the 
management is wise, and this refers also to the South Side Gun Club, 
it will announce when giving notice of its next handicap that no en- 
tries for birds will be taken in the handicap race. Elmer Shaner's 
face would be a study if a shooter went up to him and asked to be 
allowed to enter in the Grand American Handicap "for the birds " 
The event was shot off in series of 25 targets, the handicap allow- 
ance not being shot until all had completed their scores for the 100 
targets. No person knew his handicap until he had shot at the last 
target of that allowance. Men wen went out to the score with any-* 
where from 15 to 25 targets in their pockets and shot along until they 
were called out by the referee; those with 2, 3 or 4 handicaps soon had 
their agony ended, while others kept shooting along as if "they never 
would stop." Out of the 19 entries, 7 got money; J. S Shaw, with 12 
extra targets, scored 84 and took first money; Carl von Lengerke and 
Capt. Money tied for Becond place with 83 each ; Von Lengerke had 5 
extra and Money 8 extra targets to shoot at. Third money went to J. 
Grier, of Dunellen, who scored 81 out of 110; fourth money was divided 
between Jim Elliott (scratch) and E. D. Miller (2 extras), who broke 
80 each. Dutchy took the fifth money with 79 out of 104. Edwards, 
Folsom, Elmer Sickley, Piercy and Schrafft were all within easy 
reach of the money, an extra break or two being all that was 
necessary to make everything lovely for either one of them. 
Sickley's case was rather a curious one; he has been -shooting 
a Winchester for the past year and has been shooting it well. 
Quite recently he sold it, but, borrowing his brother's gun, 
came over to Elizabeth and entered for the handicap, expecting 
that the handicappers would take this matter into consideration" 
Sickley is a very good target shot, one of the many good ones in the 
New Jersey League, and was right in it with his 5 extra to shoot at; 
it should be well understood that in handicaps it is the men and their 
target-breaking capacities that are handicapped, not the gun. In 
framing the handicaps for this event the handicappers figured that a 
scratch man under the conditions as they then existed would not 
break more than 88 or 90 at the most; the object then was to bunch 
the others as close to the scratch man as possible, extra targets being 
awarded in such proportion as seemed likely to bring each shooter up 
to the 88 or 90 mark. After the start the light grew worse instead of 
better, a brisk breeze springing up at times and playing havoc with 
the scores, Jim Elliott, the scratch man, scoring only 16 out of his 
first 25 ! Noel Money's total of 50 out of his 100 was due largely to the 
breaking down of his gun; Morfey, who is a good target shot, also fell 
down very badly. Miller led by a good margin at the end of the 75th 
round with 62 breaks, and looked all over a winner; his last 25 caused 
him a lot of trouble, 9 of them getting away from him. The scores 
for each 25 and for the handicap allowance are as follows, the targets 
of course being thrown at unknown angles:

NEW JItHSEY TRAP-SHOOTERS' LEAGUE. 
As announced in our issue of Feb. 1, the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' 
League decided, at its annual meeting held on Jan. 22, to change the 
conditions of its monthly team races from five-men teams and un 
known angles to six-men teams and known angles. 
The change from five-men teams to teams of six men from each 
club is one of which we fail to see the benefit. It has been proved by 
the past history of the League that it is hard enough for some clubs 
to put five-men teams in the field ; the necessity for six-men teams 
will correspondingly increase the troubles of the captains of those 
clubs. We suppose that the idea of the League in adopting six-men 
teams was to do away with the breaking up of teams to fill a squad. 
For instance, the first squad consisted of a full team and a pivot man 
from the next team; second squad was made up of the remaining four 
men of that team and two of the third team, and so on. Of course, 
six-men teams will avert all that, each team being a squad by itself, if 
the system of shooting off the team races that prevailed in 1895 is ob- 
served this season. As, however, that system was in our opinion 
altogether wrong, we trust that the League will see fit to change the 
conditions still further. 
Hitherto it has been customary to shoot off the teams in the order 
in which the respective captains handed in the names of those com- 
posing their teams. If the weather was dull and it was early in the 
season, a wise captain would hustle his men together and hand in the 
names of his team as soon as the manager was ready to receive them; 
he thus secured for his team the best light there was going. If there 
was a prospect of a thunderstorm it was just the same. The New 
Jersey League's shoot on the grounds of the Endeavor Qun Club last 
summer was a striking instance of the injustice of shooting the race 
by teams, the Endeavors themselves shooting under most unfavor- 
able conditions. We believe firmly in splitting up the teams and 
shooting them so that no two men from any one team are in the same 
squad. Suppose there were nine teams entered: The first squad 
would consist 'of a man from each of the first six teams; squad No. 2 
would be made up of men from the last three aDd the first three 
teams; squad No. 3 would be composed of men from the last six 
teams; thus at. the end of the third squad each team would have two 
men that had shot off their scores. This system, one that is most 
generally adopted whpre there are only three or four teams, could 
easily be applied as above to the team races of the New Jersey 
League. It would do away with the advantages of better light and 
less wind liable to accrue to one or more teams while a lengthy team 
contest is being decided on the system of each team a squad by itself. 
It is true that the system suggested would mean more work for the 
manager of the League, but wbat is a manager appointed for, if he is 
to have no work to do beyond figuring up averages at the end of the 
year and taking care that the League score book is on hand at all the 
monthly shoots 1 
There is an additional benefit attached to the above-suggested plan: 
Many men can only get to the grounds somewhat late in the after- 
noon, while others again have to leave early; it often happens that 
these men are members of the same team. League contests are ad- 
vertised to commence at 2 P. M., and they should commence certainly 
notlater than 2:30. With squads split up as above suggested, there 
is no reason why the League contests shoul 1 not be started on sched- 
ule time. The feature of the idea that recommends it most strongly 
to us is that it is the nearest, approach to absolute equality of con- 
ditions, a feature that has been strikingly absent in some of the 
previous contests, the conditions of light and wind in those contests 
having been very changeable. 
The change from unknown to known angles is in accordance with 
our opinions expressed in our issues of Feb. 23 and April 27, 1895. Ab 
these contests are tests of skill, and only short ones at that, 25 targets 
per man, it seemed to us wrong that so great an element of luck as is 
permitted under unknown angles should be allowed to exist in the 
League contests. In a long race, say at 100 targets, we believe the 
"luck of the birds" will be equalized, but the League contests are not 
long races. By adopting known traps and angles, every shooter is 
treated alike; each man gets 5 straightaways, 10 right-quartering and 
10 left-quartering targets. ''Known traps and angles" is not a sport- 
ing, perhaps not even an interesting, way of shooting at targets, but 
it is more favorable to young and struggling clubs than unknown 
angles. It does away also with the possibility of some of the visiting 
shooters getting the impression that the home club has "fixed the 
trappers," or that the trappers are favoring the home team. 
Split up the teams and give the boys known angles, and there cannot 
be any grounds for a kick, however slight, at any of the League con- 
tests in 1896. The interest in each monthly shoot will also be kept up 
until the last round, instead of fading away rapidly after some team 
has made a big score. 
Peters Defeats Blake at Omaha. 
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.— M. C. Peters and F. H. Blake, both of this 
city, shot a live-bird race to-day under the following conditions- 100 
birds per man, $100 a side, 30yds. rise, A. S. A. rules to govern 
Although neither man made a large score, Peters won very easily 
scoring 80 to his opponent's 70. Both men used Greener guns, 48grs 
of E. C. powder and No. 7 shot; Peters used a Rapid shell, Blake a 
8mokeless. The scores were:
