CLIMAX GUN CLUB. 
Feb. 17.— The regular monthly shoot of the Climax Gun Club, of 
Plainfleid, N. J., was held to-day. The weather was bitterly cold, the 
thermometer being down to the zero point. Notwithstanding the un- 
favorable conditions, 20 members shot their scores, the results being 
as follows: 
Club shoot, 25 targets per man, unknown angles, handicap allowance 
of extra targets to shoot at: P. Jay (5) 24, L. H. Schortemeler (0) 22,

THE SOUTH SIDE TARGET HANDICAP. 
Feb. 19.— Although there were only nine entries in the 100-target hand- 
icap race to-day, there were eighteen shooters present at the South 
Side Gun Club's grounds at Newark during the day. The light was 
trying to the eyes during the early hours of the shoot, while occasional 
snow flurries and gusts of wind made the flight of the targets erratic 
at times. Geoff roy shot very well as usual and broke 91 out of his 100 
targets, sufficient to win without his allowance. Sinnock broke 24 out 
of 25 in the second series, this effort landing him ultimately in second 
position by 1 target from Edwards, who bad the same handicap allow- 
ance of targets— 8— that he had. Miller was one short of tieing for 
third money, while Dutchy should certainly have done better than 86 
all told after breaking 67 out of his first 75. Herrington shot up well, 
considering that his gun broke down before the handicap started, 
causing him to use Parker's gun, a weapon that was strange to him, 
for the balance of the day. Jim Elliott was clearly out of form, his 
trouble in the fourth series being apparently the result to a great ex- 
tent of a knowledge that he was out of it. Sinnock, the winner of 
second money, is a member of the Forrester Gun Club, of Newark, 
and is a new man in the target sweeps of New York and vicinity. 
Billy Hobart, the secretary of the South Side Club, and William 
Parker, secretary of the Elizabeth, N. J., Gun Club, took charge of the 
cashier's department and kept things moving. During the day 2,100 
targets were thrown, showing what the club is capable of doing if 
there is a good attendance— something that was most unaccountably 
missing to-day. The scores were: 
One hundred targets, handicap allowance of extra targets, unknown 
angles, $5 entrance, targets extra, 3 moneys:

The day closed with a snowstorm and a sudden gale of wind. The 
drifting snow was blinding to a degree, but that did not quite stop all 
sport, as Astfalk, Edwards, Hassinger and Herrington thought it 
would be fun to see just how many they could break out of 25 targets 
thrown under such conditions; the agreement was that the low men 
should pay for tha 100 targets. The scores, were: Astfalk 16, Ed- 
wards 15, Hassinger 14 and Herrington 10. The latter was out $2 in 
consequence. 
ANOTHER TIB RACE BETWEEN HILL AND BUDD. 
Feb. 20.— After shooting a tie race on Feb. 14 at Z virlein's grounds 
YardviUe, N. J., Eddie Hill, of Trenton, and I. W. Budd, of Pember- 
ton, N. J., met again to-day on the same grounds and once more the 
result was a tie. On Feb. 14 the scores were 84 each ; to day the totals 
were 87. 
Notwithstanding the cold wind that blew very strongly, between 300 
and 400 persons were at the Yardville grounds to see the match. The 
strong wind that made things uncomfortable for the spectators 
helped the birds, which would have been a good lot without a breath 
of wind to aid them. The totals made on such a class of birds must 
be considered as very good The officials of the match were: John 
Rothacker, referee; W. G. Paddock, scorer, and D. Sprouls, trap- 
puller. 
In the first 25 Budd led by 1 bird, increasing that load to 4 at the 
close of the 50th round. Then Hill scored 22 out of his 3d 25 to Budd's 
21, reducing the lead to 3 birds; at such a stage of the match it looked 
almost an impossibility for Hill to overcome such an advantage, but 
a streak of bad luck for Budd in his last 11 birds, combined with some 
very good work on the part of Hill, turned a sure defeat into a draw, 
' Budd losing his last bird when he had only to kill to win. The high 
runs were: Budd— 16, 13, 12, 12 and 11; Hill— 16, 14 and 10. Scores:

THE KNDEAVOns CELEBRATE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. 
Feb 22.— The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, celebrated Wash- 
ington's Birthday by holding an all-day shoot on its grounds at Marion 
N. J. There was a fair attendance of shooters considering the many 
counter attractions. During the day over 2,500 targets were thrown 
this fact showing that the boys started shooting just as soon as there 
were enough of them on the grounds to mike up a squad, and kept it 
up until sundown It seems almost impossible nowadays to get shoot- 
ers together anywhere in the vicinity of New York city before 1 or 2 
P.M. The reason is not far to seek— there are any amount of gun 
clubs now, and a man who wants to shoot can join in a club sront any 
day of the week without going very far by rail to do so 
Secretary Oreveling and Capt. G. Piercy worked hard all dav; the 
former raked in the cash and paid out the same to the fortunate 
winners; Piercy got up the squais and shot in every event. As a 
natural consequence the scores of both men suffered materially ; no 
one can work and shoot. All events were at unknown angles, and all 
were 10 target events except the team race and Nos. 13 and 14. The 
day, especially the early part of it, was cold, with a strong wind 
blowing. Under such conditions Carl von Lengerke's record of 161 
breaks out of a total of 175 shot at— an average of 92 per cent.— is an 
excellent one and shows what Carl can do when he gets down to busi- 
ness; out of his first 100 shot at he broke 95. Apgar was handicapped 
by having to shoot a strange gun with a very light trigger pull; when 
he changed to Corson's gun, he started in and broke 38 straight before 
letting one get away from him. Piatt Adams shot irregularly the 
flight of the targets being something he was unaccustomed to, the 
traps throwing them very low and fast. Hegeman was a stranger to 
unknown angles; in addition to this he lost several targets by flinching. 
The team race was a friendly affair for the price of the targets, the 
losing team having to pay for all shot at in this event. Apgar and 
Von Lengerke chose Bides; Apgar's team lost by 13 breaks, the totals 
showing 160 to 147 in favor of the team chosen by Von Lengerke. In 
this instance the non-favorites won, the race being looked upon as a 
moral certainty for Apgar's team before a single target was shot at. 
Each man shot at 25 targets, unknown angles. The scores were: 
Von Lengerke's Team. Apgar's Team.

RIDGKFIELD GUN CLUB. 
Feb. 22.— The Ridgefleld Gun Club celebrated Washington's Birthday 
by holding a large live-bird handicap sweepstake on its grounds. The 
conditions were 20 live birds, handicap rise, an allowance of misses as 
kills being also given to some of the shooters. J. H. Sloan, C. Hen- 
derson and H. H. Arthur were allowed 3 misses as kills, G. W. Glad- 
win receiving 1 miS9 as a kill. The purse was divided among the four 
high guns; first and second money was divided between G. S. McAlpin 
and F. Hall, each of whom scored 18; W. J. Simpson took third 
money on 17, Justus von Lengerke winning fourth on 16. The scores 
were: 
G. S. McAlpin (30) 18, F. Hall (28) 18, W. J. Simpson (29) 17, J. von

DEATH OF DAN TERRY. 
Dan Terry (everybody called him Dan), the secretary of the Climax 
Gun Club, of Plainfleid, N. J., is dead. His death was very sudden in- 
deed, few even of hia intimate friends knew that he was seriously ill. 
The cause of his death was pneumonia. He was present at the club 
shoot of the Climax Gun Club on Monday, Feb. 17, and shot his score 
in the bitterly cold zero weather that prevailed at the time. As soon 
as he had shot his score he left for home, his wife being ill at the time 
with pneumonia. That was the last many of the boys saw of him, as 
he was taken ill almost immediately, his death occurring at 10 o'clock 
on Friday night, Feb. 21; his wife died also at 10 A. M. on Feb. 22, just 
twelve hours later. 
Dan was well known throughout New Jersey, and was a thoroughly 
popular man with the trap-shooting fraternity of that State. Through 
his death the Climax Gun Club has lost an enthusiastic secretary, 
who always had the be3t interests of the club at heart. 
Bayside Gun Club. 
Keyfort, N. J., Feb. 18.— Owing to the extreme closeness of the 
scores, the shnot of the Bayside Gun Club held to-day was one of un- 
usual interest. It was anybody's race up to the firing of the last gun, 
when it was found that H. E. Ackerson, Jr. — the youngest member of 
the club, a lad of 15 years— had tied the veteran, Watts, for the badge. 
The tie was shot off at 10 targets, Watts winning by one bird. - This 
makes his third successive win. It was a cold, raw day, with a bitter 
east wind blowing in the face of the shooters. Below are the scores: 
Badge shoot. 25 targets per man:

Chicago Traps. 
Chicago, 111 , Feb. 22.— i'bere was more trap-shooting in and around 
C 'icago to-day than there has been for a long time. Calumet Heights 
C ub held a fox huat and small trap shoot. Eureka Club held an all- 
day shoot, and on« or two smaller clubs took advantage of the holiday 
to indulge in shooting feativites. 
The center of interest was at Watson'* Park, Burnside, where forty 
or fifty shootera assembled. The Gilbert-Avery match for the Du 
Pont championship cup did not come off, Mr. Avery declining t" use 
the Du Pont Smokeless powder, and Mr. Gilbert, with the donors of 
the cup, naturally objecting to any other powder in a race involving 
the ownership of the trophy offered. There was considerable disap 
pointment that this race was not to be shot. There were present from 
Iowa Mr. Fred Gilbert, holder of the Du Pont championship cup- Mr 
H. J. Wilson, of Emmettsburg, who lately challenged a series of Chi- 
cago shooters to shoot him; Charlie Grim, of Clear Lake, and Mr. F. 
C Schott, of Washington, the home State of the champion having 
thus a fair representation. Among those present frcni other point9 
were Mr. E, L. Post, of the Carteret Gun club, New York city; Mr. 
Harry McKtnney, of Janesville, Wis.; Mr S. A. Tucker, of the Parker 
gun; Messrs. Jjnn Kelly and Dan Feely, of Jol et-.'IIJ ; Mr. W. T. Irwin, 
of Peoria, 111. Among the prominent Chicago shooters present were 
Mr. E, S. Rice, Western agent of the Du Pont Powder; Messrs. Stan- 
nard and Bingham, of Montgomery Ward & Co. ; Aba and George 
Kleinman, Col. C. E Felton, Dr. Carson, Dr. Forthingham, Messrs. 
Glover, Goodrich and others of the Eureka Club; Messrs Hicks, 
Palmer and others of the Garfield Club; Mr. M. J. Eicb, of the Douglas 
Gun Club, and a great many others, not all of whom engaged in active 
shooting. 
The grounds at Watson's Park were covered with snow, and 
although the weather was thawing, the wind was sharp and cold 
enough to keep the birds flying with their accustomed vigor, and it 
was much like old times at the park. The hot company of shooters 
assembled kept things busy both at the target and the live-bird scores. 
Dr. Shaw, of the Garfield Gun Club, had undertaken to put up some 
valuable diamonds as prizes in a sweep, the conditions of whioh were 
to be 20 shooters at $20, but the number proposed did not qualify, so 
the afternoon was put in at sweeps. The club house was crowded, 
but very warm and comfortable. At the target scores the entry was 
a dozen or fifteen, the shooting there being $1 sweeps at 10 targets. 
Early in the afternoon a number of the Eureka shooters left for the 
grounds of that club, among them Mr. Stannard, who carried with 
him the new single-trigger gun which is to be manufactured by Du- 
moulin, in Belgium, for the house of Montgomery Ward & Co., this 
city, and which will bear the name of the latter firm, The gun was 
very graceful in outlines, and the single-trigger action created con- 
siderable interest among the shooters, who bad never seen one before. 
At the live-bird traps shooting was kept up till dusk, John Watson 
hustling things along in his usual able way at the score. The two 
pointers— Rush and Don— did the retrieving. The present arrange- 
ment of Watson's Park grounds is the best the veteran handler has 
ever had, and the park is worthy of abundant patronage. 
The Iowa champion, Gilbert, held his lorm in the first two sweeps, 
making the only two straights out of the thirty entries of those 
sweeps. In the third sweep he lost his first bird dead out of bounds. 
The following are the most important of the live-bird scores, at 10 live

Greiff and Gladwin at Baychester. 
Baychester, N. Y„ Feb. 20.— Gus E. Greiff, of New York city, and 
A Gladwin shot a 25 bird race to-day at the grounds of Miller & Zorn. 
The birds were a good lot and were helped by a strong northwesterly 
wind. The result of the race was a tie on the 25 birds, each man scor- 
ing 21 birds The tie was then shot off at 5 birds, and again the men 
tied with 5 straight. Another 5 birds were then shot at. Greiff missed 
his first bird, and it looked as if Gladwin would win; but his 4th bird 
got away from him, the scores at the end of the second series of 5 
birds showing 4 apiece. To settle matters, it was then agreed to shoot 
off the ties miss-and-out. The 3d round decided the match in Greiff's 
favor. Gladwin's bird getting over the boundary. 
The conditions were: Greiff, 12-gauge gun, 30yds. rise; Gladwin, 10- 
gauge gun, 29yds. rise. Greiff shot a Francotte, 45grs. of Schultze in 
a V. L. & D. Lightning shell; Gladtvin shot a 10-gauge Parker, 3Kdrs 
of Schultze in a V. L. & D. Lightning shell. Scores: 
Ties.
