MORGAN VERSUS WILLEY. 
Feb. JS.— Allen Willey and Eddie Morgan, the latter a shooter from 
Paterson, N. J., shot a race to-day at Arthur Bunn's hotel, Singac, N. 
J. The conditions were rather severe for Willey, who wa8 conceding 
his opponent no less than 6yds. The birds were a good lot, and were 
aided by a strong wind. Willey, who was using a new gun, lost his 
second bird by going to the score without any shells in his gun. He 
was thinking too much about the safety bolt, something to which he 
was not accustomed, as his old gun was automatic. The race was 
very close, Morgan winning by just one bird, scoring 42 to 41. W. 
Dutcher, of Paterson, acted in the dual capacity of referee and scorer. 
The scores were:

KEYPORT DEFEATS SOUTH AMBOY. 
Feb. 52.— The Bayside Gun Club, of Keyport, N. J., was royally en- 
tertained to day by the members of the South Amboy Gun Club. ' The 
occasion was the return match between the two clubs, the first having 
been won by the Baysides on their own grounds. The 8outh Amboy 
Gun Club's grounds are located directly on the shore of and facing 
the bay, there being thus a good background. After a most enjoyable 
afternoon of sport the Baysides were victorious by 52 breaks. The 
conditions were: Teams of 18 men, 25 targets per man, unknown 
angles. Below are the scores:

BOONTON GUN CLUB. 
Feb. 22— The newly organized Boonton, N. J., Gun Club held its 
first live-bird shoot to-day. The weather was bright and clear, but 
rather cold; the coldness of the wind may have had something to do 
with the comparatively small attendance. Those present were: Lewis 
van Duyne, Geo. B. and A. J. Neafle. D. R. Conklin, Wilbert Garrison 
C. E. Banta, E. Fitzgibbon and W. H. Cole. G. B. Neafie scored 23 
out of his 25, one of his lost birds falling dead out of bounds. The 
pigeons trapped were only a fair lot of flyers. Scores:

THE ELIZABETH BI-MONTHLY TOURNAMENT. 
Feb. S5 — This was the opening day of the Elizabeth Gun Club's sixth 
bi-monthly tournament. As usual the club was favored with fine 
clear weather, but a strong wind that blew nearly all day made the 
shooting very hard, particularly during the first eight or nine events. 
All events were at targets and at unknown angles (with the exception 
of No. 4, which was reversed order, and No. 6, which was shot expert 
rules, both barrelB). Altogether 2,500 targets were trapped during the 
day, although shooting did not commence until after noon. Consider- 
ing the number of shootB held recently, and to be held in the near 
future, in this vicinity, an attendance of twenty-five shooters should 
be very satisfactory to the management of the Elizabeth Gun Club. 
A special feature of the day was the work of squad 1 in event No. 8, 
15 targets, unknown angles. The squad was composed as follows- 
Apgar, Edwards, Dutchy, Piercy, Miller and Breintnall; their scores 
were: Apgar 15, Edwards 14, Dutchy 15, Piercy 13, Miller 14, Breint- 
nall 15, a total of 86 out of 90 targets. This total would be good in 
any kind of weather, but to-day, with a good wind, and with the tar- 
gets thrown hard and low, it is worth recording. As a matter of fact 
the targets to-day were thrown a little too hard; not too fast, but too 
low and too much up and down the screen; with a good background it 
would not matter much, but the Elizabeth Club's background, when 
targets are thrown low, is a hard one. 
Before cloBing this necessarily brief account of the day's sport 
something must be said in praise of the management of the shoot. 
The president of the club, Robert E. Chetwood, acted throughout as 
scorer, and for a portion of the coldest part of the day stood at the 
score and kept tab until driven inside the club house by the bitter 
cold of the northwest wind. Nate Astfalk, one of the moving spirits 
of the club, shot along in every event save one— No. 7; his absence 
from the Bcore in that event was due to the attention he was bestow- 
ing on a beefsteak that needed his entire attention. Wm. Parker, sec- 
retary of the club; Billy Hobart, secretary of the New Jersey Trap- 
Shooters' League, and J. Roberts, of the home club, acted respect- 
ively as receiving teller, paying teller and referee-puller, etc.

The second day of the Elizabeth bi-monthly tournament waB not 
favored with the same kind of weather that has hitherto been such an 
important feature at these popular New Jersey gatherings. Instead of 
bright and clear weather, snow fell pretty nearly all day, and at times 
the fall was so heavy as to make it decidedly uncomfortable outside 
the club bouse. 
There was a good attendance of shooters, and while the birds were 
not so fast as usual owing to the climatic conditions, some excellent 
shooting was done, notably by Morfey and Woodruff. The farmer 
killed 52 out of 54, while Woodruff was answerable for 48 out of 51. 
The scores are given below: Nos. 1 and 5 were 7 birds, $5; No. 2. 10 
birds, $5, birds extra; No. 3, 25 birds, $10, birds extra, handicap; No. 
4 was also a handicap, 5 birds, $5; No. 6 was a $1 miss-and-out.

NEW JERSEY TRAP-SHOOTERS' LEAGUE. 
Feb. 27.— The first meeting of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League 
for 1896 took place to-day at Dunellen, N. J., on the grounds of the 
newly organized Dunellen Gun Club. After the snow of yesterday, 
to-day was simply a perfect one from a target-shooter's point of view.' 
Not a breath of air was stirring, and there was a bright, clear sky 
overhead; the sun, too, was so warm that the snow which fell yester- 
day was only left in shady spots by the time the whistle blew for din- 
ner. The beautiful weather, coupled with the fact that this was the 
first league shoot in 1896, brought together a good attendance of 
shooters, although only 7 out of the 10 clubs composing the league 
were represented by teams of 6 men. The missing clubs were: Boiling 
Springs, of Rutherford; Union Hill, of Weehawken, and the Riverside, 
of Red Bank. The number of shooters that took part in the teem 
race and the sweeps shot during the day was 46, and 3,650 targets 
were thrown between the hours of 12 M, and 6 P. M. 
The Dunellen Gun Club is a new organization, so that any little im- 
perfections in the way of lack of management at this shoot should be 
pardoned. This was the first shoot of any size yet given by the club 
and it is no easy thing for voterans in the business to handle comfort- 
ably some forty odd visitors, all of whom want to shoot at the same 
time. There is one thing that this club has which might be copied 
with great advantage by pretty nearly every club in the league: It 
has a solid platform that is wide enough to accommodate everybody 
without a fear of the shooters being interfered with. 
The scores to-day were somewhat disappointing. The Maplewood 
Club led as usual, but its score of 123 out of 150 targets, known traps 
and angles, is not what we had looked for in the way of a winning 
score under the conditions that existed at the Dunellen grounds to-day 
When 23 is high out of forty-two shooters, and when only four men 
score that number it looks as if something was wrong with the light. 
As a matter of fact the background was a hard one, notwithstanding 
a bright sun behind the shooters' backs. There Is something else to 
consider: To-day's contest was at known 'traps and angles, a style of 
shooting that has almost dropped into disuse. It is too mechanical 
and too monotonous for most sbooters, and as a natural consequence 
many get slow and lose their time entirely. No doubt one result of 
to-day's race will be to make the clubs practice up a little on known 
angles. Then look out for some high scores, because there are some 
very warm shots in this portion of New Jersey. 
The league management did a capital thing to-day in splitting up 
the squads; each squad was composed of men from different teams. 
This method of shooting off so large a team race, as this one always 
is, has.many things to recommend it. In the first place, it does away 
almost entirely with the chances of weather, such as a sudden change 
in the wind, a cloud coming up and obscuring the sun, a heavy rain- 
storm, and all similar occurrences which would be importaut factors 
in scores on targets. In the next place it entirely removes all chance 
of a suspicion that the home team is being favored by the trappers • 
this is more particularly the case when team races are shot at un- 
known angles. At known angles.however, the slackening or tightening 
of the tension on the main springs of the traps has a great effect on 
scores, and it might be suggested that the trappers favored the home 
team that way. Splitting up the teams is a li.tle more trouble, but it 
gives the best satisfaction after all, Manager Drake, of the N. J. 
Trap-Shooters' League, who takes charge of the team race, showed' 
very conclusively that he was well able to handle the men under the 
changed conditions. The scores in t he team race were: 
Maplewood Gun Club, of Maplewood: E. Sickley 22, Dean 22 O 
Yeomans 21, A. Sickley 20, W. N Drake 19, Parry 18—123. ' " 
Climax Gun Club, of Plainfield: C. Smith 23, Neaf Apgar 22, T. H.

Dunellen Gun Club, of Dunellen: T. H. Brantingham 22 Henrv 18 
Brokaw 15, Runyon 12, Grey 13, Sisty 12—95. 
In the scores of the Union Gun Ciub the totals given above are 
those furnished by Mr. Drake, to whom we are indebted for a com- 
plete copy of all the scores. As we understood it, while the shoot 
was in progress there was some dispute as to the correctness of E D. 
Miller's score, and we were under the impression that some change 
had been made in it. Edward Banks. 
Advance entries for the Cobweb Handicap, to be shot March 21, on 
the grounds of tee Cobweb Gun Club of New York, at Bayehester, 
N. Y., should be made to F. A. Kerker, secretary of the club, 2312 
Third avenue. New York City; each entry should be accompanied by 
a §5 forfeit. The '-Handicap 1 ' is set for the fourth day of the Cobweb 
Gun Club's tournament, at which the first two days are given up to 
target events, and the last two to live birdB. The conditions of the 
main event, the Cobweb Handicap, are: 25 live birds, -515 entrauce, 
birds extra, $250 guaranteed, all surplus added, handicap rise. Com- 
ing as this does the week previous to the Grand American Handicap 
meeting at Elkwood Park, and also taking place while the Madison 
Square Garden is occupied by the exhibits of the second annual 
Sportsmen's Exposition, this tournament should be well patronized 
by out-of-town shooterB, who can thus kill two birds with one stone.
