SOUTH BIDE'S SATURDAY, 
Feb. 29.— Heavy rain had only the effect of increasing the attend- 
ance at the grounds of the South Side Gun Club to-dav, 14 shooters 
taking part in the events shot during the afternoon. The reason for 
the increased attendance is not hard to find- This club has never 
failed— rain or shine— to have its club house open and its traps ready 
for business every Saturday afternoon during the 15 years it has been 
in existence. When the rain is coming down with a persistency that 
is disheartening to anybody but a trap-ahooter, making it doubtful 
whether there will be any shooting at his own club's grounds, if he 
wants to be Bure of getting shooting he just hies himself off to the 
South Side Gun Club's grounds at Newark, N. J,, feeling certain that 
he can get all the targets thrown for him that he wants to Are at. 
During the afternoon 1,100 targets were thrown, Neaf Apgar doing 
the best work by breaking 93 out of 100. The scores made were as 
below:

All were 10-target events with the exception of No. 9, which was at 
15 targets. The team races at known angles, 25 targets per man, re- 
sulted in a victory for Hobart's team by 8 breaks. Scores: 
Hobart's team: Apgar 21, Whitehead 21, Parker 18, Thomas 18,

Orton 14, Dawson 9—101. 
March 7.— Fourteen shooters were present at the South Side grounds 
this afternoon. The weather was a pleasant change from that which 
has prevailed of late, but the strong westerly wind that swept across 
the Newark meadows made the shooting very hard, the targets taking 
most eceentrlc flightB when thrown from the traps. In consequence 
scores were not up to the usual mark. In the team race Edwards's 
team easily defeated Whitehead's team by 12 breaks. Scores:

BRUNSWICK GUN CLUB. 
Feb. jg.—The regular monthly shoot of the Brunswick Gun Club, of 
New Brunswick, N. J., was held to-day in a downpour of rain. The 
extremely wet weather kept the attendance down to a low mark, ten 
shooters being all that put in an appearance at the club house this 
afternoon. The club shoot is at 25 targetB, unknown angles; the 
scores made were as below, E. Reynolds leading with 22 out of his 25:

GREENVILLE GUN CLUB. 
March h— The Walsrode Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., was the guest 
of the Greenville Gun Club to-day at its grounds on the shore of New 
York Bay. There was a good attendance of shooters, all of whom did 
their best to locate the targets that were wafted in every direction by 
the gale that was blowing from th« northwest. A return vi u. y»m be 
paid by the Greenville men next Wednesday, March 11, the shoot tak- 
ing place on the Walsrode Gun Club's grounds in Newark, The scores

AT- THE CARTERET CLUB. 
March k— The 50-bird race for the Knapp cup took place to-day at 
the Carteret Club grounds in a howling gale of wind that blew directly 
from No. 5 trap. The birds were a hard lot to kill, as the wind caught 
them and tossed them into the air, Bending many of them back over 
the deadline with almost the speed of a cannon ball. Under such cir- 
cumstances the scores made were not so low as they look on paper. 
It requires 5 shooters to make a contest, and just the requisite num- 
ber put in an appearance at the club's grounds. These were: George 
Work, Louis T.'Duryea, Fred Hoey, G. S. McAlpinand W. H. Stafford. 
Fred Hoey had hard luck and withdrew before the end of the match. 
The Carteret Club grounds have never been favorite ones witb Hoey, 
who scarcely ever has any luck while shooting on them. He draws 
hard birds if there any in the traps, and he never does as clean work 
with his first barrel on these grounds as we have seen him do else- 
where. 
The race between the other 4 shooters was very close and interest- 
ing, G. S. McAlpin finally winning the cup with 38 kills to his credit 
from the 29yds. mark. Next to him were George Work (31) and W. H. 
Stafford (28) with 37. Duryea coming next with 36 kills from the 
31yds. mark. 
A GOOD DAY'S SPORT AT ELIZABETH, 
March. 5.— While the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League tournament 
was in progress at Dunellen on Feb. 27, a little badinage on the part of 
some of the shooters present culminated in arrangements being made 
for a shoot at Elizabeth to-day, the conditions of the main event to be 
as f oIIowb: 100 targets per man, unknown angles, losers to pay for the 
targets and a turkey dinner for the winners. Another condition and 
a most important one was that Nate Astfalk, one of the most ener- 
getic members of the Elizabeth Gun Club, and caterer to that organi- 
zation, should provide the dinner in the club house so that winners 
and losers could sit down together and enjoy themselves after the 100 
targets per man had been shot at. Originally, 14 shooters entered in 
this race, but the cold and wintry weather, with a gale blowing about 
45 miles per hour, kept three men from showing up, while Major 
Breintnall was detained at home with the grip and Tom Keller had 
other business that kept him in New York. - Thus there were only 9 
contestants for the honor of furnishing the dinners for the crowd. 
The number being uneven, it was decided that the expenses should 
be divided among the 5 low men. 
Prior to the commencement of the 100-target race, 8 eventB at 10 
targets each were shot off to • keep the boys, who were on hand early, 
in good trim for their dinners. The wind waB blowing great guns 
from the northwest, practically right- in the teeth of the shooters, 
causing the targets to perform all the wonderful tricks they are cap- 
able of in the way of shot-dodging. So strong was the wind that at 
times it almost blew the shooter at the score off his perch, while it 
made the muzzle of the gun wabble around somewhat after the style 
of the nozzle of a line of hose that has escaped from the firemen 
detailed to direct its stream. 
The 100 targets were, of course, divided off into series of 25, each 25 
being made an optional sweep, two moneys. In the first 25 M. Her- 
rington, the representative of the W. A. Powder Company, distin- 
guished himself by spreading his load of shot with such accuracy that 
he made the bgefc goore of the day, 84 out of 25; naturally he took firs 
money in that sweep, Edwards coming next with 21. In the next 25 
G. M. Smith, a name that disguises a Long Island shooter who knows 
how to handle a gun, but who from innate modesty prefers to conceal 
his prowess as a shooter under what Billy Hobart terms a nomme de 
fusil, carried off first money with 21, Herrington again getting a slice 
of the purse by scoring 20 and taking second money. The third series 
saw Smith once more take first money alone on a really excellent 
score of 23, Herrington and Edwards cutting up second money on 20 
each. In the fourth series, Hassinger won first money bv breaking 21, 
Astfalk and Herrington dividing second money with 19 each. The 
scores were then totaled up. and it was announced that the four 
fortunates were Herrington 83, Smith 78, Edwards 76. Park«r 71 . The 
five who acted as hosts were: Hassinger 70, Astfalk 69, Thomas 67„ 
Schortemeier 60 and Dr. Jackson 58, 
The scores par series of 25 targets were: 
No.l. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. Total. 
M Herrington 24 20 20 19 83 
G M Smith 20 21 23 14 78 
B Edwards 21 18 20 17 76 
Wm Parker 17 19 16 19 71 
W H Hassinger 16 14 19 21 70 
NH Astfalk , 13 18 19 19 69 
L Thomas 15 15 18 19 67 
L Schortemeier ,.,.11 17 17 15 60 
Dr Jackson 14 16 14 14- 58 
At the end of the third series Herrington and Smith were tied with 
totals of 64 outpf 75, capital shooting considering the conditions. In 
the last 25 Herrington went ahead of Smith, beating him out by five 
breaks. The tumble in Smith's score was d ue to his having to use 
some shells that were entirely different from those which he had been 
shooting, the load being plainly much Rlower than his previous one. 
As regards the dinner, we cannot afford the space to do it justice. 
New Jersey shooters will realize what it was when we say that it was 
served in Nate Astfalk's very best style. It was a ciuse for rejoicing 
on the part of all present that Dutchy was in time to take charge of 
one end of the table and one turkey. 
No sooner was the dinner disposed of than 15-target sweeps were 
started up. Before the boys quit shooting— and that was not until 
every shell on the ground had been used —11 15-target events had been 
shot off. During the day three or four of the shooters fired over 300 
shots. Some idea of the difficult conditions under which the shooters 
labored in their efforts to break the targets may be gathered from 
the fact that M. Herrington was the only one to break 10 straight,, 
while Edwards and E. Sickley alone succeeded in scoring 15 breaks In 
any event without losing a target. Sickley shot very well, having- 
four 14s to his credit. Dutchy had a weakness for the 13 hole, as out 
of the 11 events he shot in he scored that number in 8 of them. The 
soores mads in the sweeps were as follows:

Trap-Shooters of Quebec. 
Sutton Junction, Quebec, Can., Feb. 20.— Trap-shooting has taken a 
decided boom in this vicinity of late, and from present appearances it 
is safe to predict a number of local matches in the near future. We 
now have four clubs within a radius of fifteen miles, although up to 
the past four months a bluerock target was an unknown commodity. 
It is hard to say just what started the fad— if fad it may be called— 
but I think it would not be far out to assert that the influence exerted 
by the better class of sporting papers for good clean sportsmanship 
was responsible for the movement. Be that as it may, it's a real good 
thing, so pu«h it along. 
Waterloo was first to organize with a membership of twenty-four. 
J. E. Macfarlane was elected President, R. F. Shaw Secretary, and C. 
A. Nutting Field Captain. The club has had a number of private 
shoots and the fever is high. 
Sutton Junction followed with a membership of twenty-three. The 
officers are: N. P. Emerson, President; J. C. Draper, Vice-President; 
A. W. Western, Secretary; W. R. Sofford, Treasurer; H E. Hibbard, 
Field Captain; Dr. Page, C. A. Armstrong, E. G. Smith and J. Cran- 
dall, Directors. This club and the Waterloo Club have met once upon 
the field at Waterloo, as chronicled in the trap columns of Forest and 
Stream of Feb. 1. The return match is booked for Feb. 27 at Sutton 
Junction. 
Sutton Gun Club has only just been organized, and is not yet fully 
under way, but will soon be heard from. The president is Lieut. E. 
Greely; Secretary, C. M. R. Tarte; Field Captain, R. Curley. 
North Troy, Vt., just across the border in Uncle Sam's territory, 
organized about the same time as Sutton, and although they have yet 
to hold their first meeting, they have the right material to push it 
once they get limbered up. Their officers are: C. Fowler, President; 
J. Lewis, Secretary; Dr. F. Page, Field Captain. 
This constitutes the quartette. We will try and send you the scores 
as often as possible, that your readers may keep posted on what we 
are doing for sport up here on the border. If any up-to-date powder 
company has any spare cups or medals kicking around we are in the 
field. A. W. Western. 
Rochester vs. Buffalo. 
Rochester, N. Y./ Feb. 22.— The team shoot to-day between the 
Auiubon Gun Club, of Buffalo, and the Rod and Gun Club, of this 
city, was a very large affair, the teatm were composed of 31 men on a 
side, 62 shooters in all taking part iu the contest. Ia view of the fact 
(that the home club put 31 men in the fMd that avsraged generally 84.3 
per m<m at unknown angles, congratulations to that club are iu order. 
The result of the race was another decisive victory for the Rochester 
men, the scores at the close of the contest showin? 654 to 589 in favor 
of the home team. (N. B.— The scores furnished us foot upboi to 
5S8— Editor Forest and Stream) After the team race the Buffalo 
shooters were the t»^,3 ot the horn? club and partook of an elegant 
hanqust, President Ha lley welcoming the visitors ia an appropriate 
manner.

Two Days with the Riverton Gun Club. 
Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7, were two big days at the Riv- 
erton Gun Club's grounds. On the first day the main event was the 
"Ralll shoot," an innovation in the way of pigeon shooting, but one 
that is scarcely likely to become very popular among shooters in gen- 
eral. As a novelty it is all right, but as a steady diet there is too much 
luck in it for the majority of shooters to go in for it very often. The 
method of running this event is given later. On the second day there 
was a 100-bird race, $100 entrance, handicap rise, to draw out the 
shooters, and as a matter of fact this event did draw very well in- 
deed, 13 shooters taking part in the event. 
the ralli shoot. 
In this event G. S. McAlpin, a member of the Carteret Club, was the 
only New York shooter to take part. He shot welJ, as usual, and, 
aided by luck in the last round of 20 birds, managed to land the cup 
for the New York contingent, outshooting the other 9 men and finish- 
ing with 20 birds to his credit. 
There were 10 entries, so the grounds were divided off into 10 equal 
portions, the dividing lines radiating from the center. The birds were 
not liberated from a trap, but were freed by hand at the center of the 
circle. The bird was scored to the party in whose portion of the 
grounds it fell, no matter who killed it. After every 20 birds had been 
liberated the shooters were moved around to the next station, thus 
each man had gone around the circle by the time the last birds were 
liberated. At the commencement of the last round of 20 birds there 
were 5 men tied with 14 kills each, white one other, J. H Davis, had 13 
to his credit. It was thus anybody's race. McAlpin, however, got 
the best of it, scoring 6 birds in that round; Dando, who was a tie with 
him on 14 at the beginning of the last round, scored 3 in that round 
and took second money on 17. The following shows the scores at the 
end of each round:

THE 100-BIRD BACE. 
For the 100-bird race on the second day, March 7, there were 13 
entries as follows, the list showing the handicap distance of each 
man: (It must be stated that the Riverton rule is "No man back of 
30yds.," hence the change from the usual distance.) Capt. A. 
W. Money, Carteret Gun Olub, 29vds.; R. W. Armstrong, Carteret 
Gun Club, 29yds.; J. B. Ellison, Riverton Gun Club, 28yds.; J. H. 
Davis, Riverton Gun Club, 29yds. : Charles Macalester, Philadelphia 
Gun Club. 30yds. ; George Work, Carteret Gun Club, 30yds. ; Edward 
D. Toland, Riverton Gun Club, 27yds ; Leonard Finletter, Riverton 
Gun Club, 28j ds. ; Fred Hoey, Hollywood Gun Club, 28yds. ; George C. 
Thomas, Jr,. "Riverton Gun Club, 26vds.; Thomas A. Dando, Riverton 
Gun Club. 29yds.; W. W. Watrous, Tuxedo Gun Club, 27vds.; George 
S. McAlpin, Carteret Gun Club, 28yds.; G. Langen, Riverton Gun 
Club, 26yds. 
The number of entries and the large number of birds that had to be 
trapped during the day necessitated the dividing up of the shooters int o 
two Bquads, each squad shooting half its string at the "old grounds," 
and the other half , at the new grounds. The money was divided 
among the four high guns, 50, 25, 10 and 5 per cent., with 10 per cent, 
to go to the club. The birds were a good lot, and misses were conse- 
quently quite numerous. At the end of the 25th round SI acalester was 
ahead with 24 out of 25, while the ultimate winners stood thus: Dando 
21, Finletter 22, Hoey and McAlpin 23 and 19 respectively. The scores 
at the end of the race were as below, six of the shooters having re- 
tired as soon as they had 15 lost birds to their credit: 
Dando. 91; Finletter, 90; Hoey and McAlpin, 86 (divided third and 
fourth money); Work and Davis, 85; ThomaB, 82; Macalester, 81 out 
of 96; Toland, 66 out of 81 ; Armstrong, 65 out of 81 ; Ellison, 57 out of 
72; Money, 46 out of 51; Langen, 39 out of 54.
