HELL GATE GUN CLTJB. 
Jan. 28.-^ The monthly live-bird Bhoot of the Sell Gate Gun Club 
Was held to-day at Dexter Park, the attendance of members being 
remarkably good; 29 shooters took part in the club event, which was 
at 10 live birds par man. Louis Schorteoaeier was the only one of the 
29 to go straight, the club's 1895 champion, P. Woelfel, falling down 
to 5 out of his ten. That the birds were a good lot is shown by the 
fact that there was only one 9 and four 8s. The scores made were as 
follows:

DR. LITTLE DEFEATS LAIR. 
Jan. 29.— Dr. Little and W. H. Lair shot a 50-bird match to-day on 
the grounds of the New Utrecht Gun Club at Woodlawn. The birds 
were only a moderate lot, not up to New Utrecht standard. The con- 
ditions of the race were: 50 birds per man, 25yds. rise, 50yds. boun- 
dary, use of one barrel only, loser to pay for the birds, and a stake of 
$50 a side. G. Van Nostrand acted as referee throughout the race. 
At the end of the first half the score was a tie, each man having: 18 
out of 25 to his credit. Out of his next 5 birds Lair lost 3 to his oppo- 
nent's 2; the next 5 birds were fatal to Lair's chances, as he lost 4 out 
of the 5 while Dr. Little only lost 1 of his lot. At the end of the 42d 
round Lair withdrew, being practically Bhot out of the race, the totals 
showing 31 to 25, a lead of 6 for Dr. Little with only 8 more to shoot 
at. The winner shot 48grs. of Schultze in a V. L. & D. shell, his gun 
being an L. O. Smith; Lair's gun was a Greener, and his load was 
49grs. of Schultze in a trap shell. Below is the score in detail:

' Trap Around Buffalo. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 20.— To-day the third and last 100-bird race be- 
tween Fred. Emond and Jacob Koch was brought to a conclusion, 
Emond winning easily by 11 birds. In the first match darkness put an 
end to the contest at the end of the 98th round; in the three matches, 
therefore, each man has shot at 298 birds; out of that number Emond 
has scored 261 to Koch's 247. Koch made an excellent score in the 
second match, but did not win; on that account he changed his shells; 
this change was, I think, in a great measure the cause of so many of 
his birds going out of bounds before dropping. After the 75th round 
Emond shot in a careless, easy-going manner, as if the match was all 
over, as it really was, since Koch kept on losing bird after bird dead 
out of hounds. There is some talk of a match between Otto Besser, 
Jr., and Emond, but it seems hard to get them to come to terms. The 
score of to-day's match is below:

The Utica Tournament. 
Utica, N. ¥., Jan. 24. — The two days' tournament which end?d to* 
day was a very pleasant affair, although the attendance was not large. 
Quite a number of targets were thrown, 23 shooters in all taking part 
in the programme and extra events shot yesterday. Among those 
present from a distance were: Chas. Wagner, of Syracuse, A. and M. 
Barker, of Richfield; McCauley, Brainard and Paddleford, of Sher- 
burne, etc. The scores made on that day were as given in the table

To-day was live-bird day and in consequence there was a good attend- 
ance of both shooters and lookers-on. Among the new faces were: 
E. C. Burkhardt, Buffalo; T. O. Pegnim, Oanajoharie; George 
Mosher, of the Syracuse Arms Company; A. S. White and George, of 
Syracuse; etc. From the commencement of the shooting until about 
IP. M., the weather was most disagreeable; after lunch the weather 
improved a little and the birds in consequence flew much better. The 
handicapping was placed in the hands of H. L. Gates, of this city, as 
he was the best posted man on the merits of the shooters. As a whole 
the day was an unfavorable one for live-bird shooting, and the scores 
suffered in consequence. The scoreB were:

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Jan. 29.— Another beautiful afternoon greeted the shooters 
of the Boston Gun Club at Wellington this afternoon, and evidently 
the conditions were not to bB denied, as nineteen in all graced the 
club's platform during the different events. The traps were allowed 
no leisure UDtil darkness came to their rescue. Only one straight 
score appeared out of about 800 targets thrown 10 bird, known 
angles, and it is hardly so much the absence of skill on the part of the 
shooter aa the variety of the known (?) angles which can be held 
accountable for the nines, eights and sevens that are so much easier 
to secure. Such a thing as monotony is unknown at the Boston Gun 
Club, and the targets are thrown with the greatest regard for fairness, 
but with a certain disregard for regularity. The target may be high, 
low, fast or slow, and nothing so confuses the modern trap-shooter 
accustomed to the regulation five-trap angles as the promiscuous 
flights from assorted traps. The nearer one can approacn field shoot- 
ing, the nearer such comes to be the highest form of practice, and to- 
gether with the ever-present zero, we derive a certain amount of con- 
solation from this and from the fact that "there are others." Scores

Team Shoot at Rochester. 
Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 30.— Some great shooting was done on the 
grounds of the Rochester Rod and Gun Club in a team race between 
Hicks's team and Byer's team. Byer chose Stewart and Borst as his 
partners and said there weren't any three men in the club that could 
break as many targets out of 150 aB his trio could. HicKS took him 
up and chose Meyers and Foley for his mates, the result showing that 
his judgment was correct. A record of 141 out of 150 will stand for 
some time upon our books. Mr. Byer has withdrawn into some 
secluded spot and has drawn the spot in after him. The scores were:

West Side Gun Club. 
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 22.— Below are the scores made by members-ofi 
the West Side Gun Club at its grounds on New Year's Day. A band- 
some solid silver cud has been purchased by the club, to be compete 
for during the coming season, and on Jan. 1 was held the inaugurj 
shoot. The cup will eventually go to the one wbo wins it oftenesL 
during the season, and some interesting matches will occur, as the 
live-bird shots of the club are very evenly matched. On this occasion 
the scores were not up to the average in some cases, as the birds were 
an excellent lot. The weather was cloudy and cold, and the wind 
helped the pigeons more than they needed. Mr. Elliott was badly han- 1 
dicapped, as his eyes have been troubling bim. All used E. C. and. I 
Smokeless cases. Mr. Hindmarsh shot a Remington hammerless»| 
3J4drs., 1J4 7s and 1M 6s; Elliott a Smith Ejector, Sin. shell, 3J4drs., Ijii 
7s both barrels; Claik a Greener Pigeon hammerless, 334dts„ 1J4 7s, I 
Bisooe, who had about the worst of the luck in drawing hard birds, I 
shot a Smith hammerless, 3drs and 3^drs., and 7s. ; Montgomery usetlJ 
a Smith hammerless, 3J4drs„ 1J4 7s. The scores:

Charles Forehand's Good Work. 
Worcester, Mass., Jan. 28.— Charles E. Forehand, of the Forehand 
Arms Co. of this city, and A. W. Walls, ex-secretary of the Worcester 
Sportsmen's Club, met this afternoon before the traps in North Pond 
Park and shot a match at 100 targets from traps pulled in reverse 
order. Last week Walls shot a similar race with V. D. Kenerson, 'de- 
feating him. Forehand promptly challenged the winner, and to-day's 
race was the result of that challenge. The two men tied on 22 out of 
the first 25; in the second 25 Walls went ahead, leading by 2 breaks 
at the end of the 50th round, having broken a straight Bcore of 25 to 
Forehand's 23. In the next25 it was Forehand's turn to go ahead, the ] 
total for the third series showing 24 for him against 19 for Walls. 1 
That break lost Walls the race, and he permitted his opponent to go 
still further in front in the last series by losing 4 to 2. The full scores 
were: Forehand 92, Walls 87; both great scores, Forehand's total 
being equal to anything of the kind that has been done.
