The Cobweb Tournament. 
The Cobweb Gun Club, of New York city, i3 comparatively a young 
organization, but its youth is not to be counted against it, since that is 
not its fault, if fault it be. Youthful as the club is, it is full of life 
and energy, and understands the art of coming to the fron<-. without 
making a parade of its many good qualities. When the club first gave 
notice through our columns that it intended holding a four days' 
tournament during the week of the Sportsmen's Exposition, we must 
confess to having felt some qualms as to the successful outcome of 
the affair. Ia the first place, the club was practically unktiown out- 
side of the immediate vicinity of New York city, and secondly, there 
was no added money, except 850 for avt rages, to attract the shoot- 
ers. It is true there was the Cobweb Handicap on tb» last day, 15 live 
birds, $15, birds extra, class shooting, 4 moneys, $250 guaranteed. 
That was all right, and there was every probability of a good entry 
list for that event. But one event does not make a programme, and 
it was the target portion of it that we were afraid of. It is added 
money that counts, and that attracts the shooters. As it turned out, 
the live-bird days were the favorites, 28 shooters taking part in the 
Cobweb Handicap. 
The weather on the first day was all right, although the bright sun 
made the glare from the snow very hard on the eyes. On the second 
day the weather conditions were something awful. It rained and 
blew from the southeast, the heavens fairly opening their floodgates 
and sending down water by the bucketful. The wind during the after- 
noon blew a whole gale and a healthy one at that, playing havoc with 
the averages of the crackerjacks, who were hustling for the average 
money regardless of the downpour. For live-bird shooting, the club 
could scarcely have chosen more favorable weather than that 
which prevailed on the two last days of the tournament The manage- 
ment of the club worked hard to make everything go off smoothly; 
President Barker, Secretary Kerker, Treasurer Hendrick, Captain 
Train, McDonnell, Loonie, etc., were all on hand and looked after the 
guests of the club, while Messrs. Zorn and 'Lige Miller were here, 
there and everywhere all the time. W. R. Hobart acted as cashier for 
the club, but owing to the small number of entries in the target events 
his work was not very severe. 
FIRST DAT, MARCH 18. * 
It sounded very much as if one was at Knoxville, Memphis, Cleve- 
land, or one other of the big circuit tournaments, when one heard the 
first squads being called to the score. The list of those present will 
explain what we mean: Bolla Heikes, Dayton, O.; O R Dickey, Bos- 
ton, Mass. ; B, Leroy Woodward. Campello, Mass. ; E D. Falrord, Utica, 
N. Y.; Sim Glover, Rochester, N. Y.; Charlie Young, Springfield, O.; 
Tom Keller, New York; M. H. Clark, New Haven, Conn.; Dutchy 
Smith, Plainfield, N. J. ; B. A. Bartlett, Buffalo, N. Y. ; Neaf Apgar, 
Plainfleld, N. J.; W. H. Skinner, Chicago, III., etc. Company, in short, 
fast enough for anybody. The other locals were good ones too: Louis 
Schortemeier, E. J. Clarke, Elmer Sickley, George Piercy, C. F. Floyd, 
Enoch Miller, etc. 
Of course Rolla Heikes led the procession, although he started badly, 
losing 5 out of his first 23 targets in the first event he shot in; the tar- 
gets he lost were the 1st, 6th, 7th, 9th and 22d. He then broke 79 
straight before losing his 6th target in event No. 10, and the 10th tar- 
get also in the same event; after this he ran out with an unfinished 
string of 35 straight, actually scoring 116 out of the last 118 targets he 
shot at! Elmer Sickley, a New Jerseysite who knows how to handle 
a gun, was second in the percentage column for the day with an aver- 
age of 91.4, Dickey being close behind him with exactly 90 percent.

SECOND DAV, MARCH 19. 
As stated above, the weather on this day was something unspeak- 
able. A gale from the southeast swept over Pelham Bay and the 
grounds of the Cobweb Gun Club, driving the clouds before it at a 
great rate and hurling the rain in solid chunks in the faces of the 
shooters. Everything was ro much the color of the targets that it 
was out of all reason to expect the eye to follow correctly the empires 
as they dipped and scooted before reaching the rain-sodden ground. 
Left quarterers were kept down by the wind behind them, that some- 
times it was almost impossible to get on to them before they dipped 
out of sight. Dickey was top average for the day with a percentage 
of 74 8 out of 195 shot at; Elmer Sickley was second with a percentage 
of 74 4, but be shot at only 145 targets, not taking part in the extra 
event No. 11, 50 targets, reversed order; this event wrought great 
havoc with the averages, Dickey and Fulford being high with 36 each 
out of the 50 targets. When such men as Sim Glover, Neaf Apgar, 
Charlie Young and M. H. Clark fall below 70 per cent, for a day's 
shooting, the task for the Bhooters to solve must have been a bard 
one. Prominent among the new faces on this day was that of Billy 
Fieles who borrowed a gu» and actually succeeded in breaking 45 out 
of 100 When event No. 8 was shot the gale and rainstorm were at 
their height, and everybody was shootirig in gum coats of divers 
makes and colors; Leroy's 10 straight in this event can only be ac- 
counted for by stating that he had but a minute or so prior to going 
to the score finished a generous lunch, which he stated publicly had 
made him feel like another man. . 
The table which is given below Bhows the scores made in the pro- 
gramme events. In addition to those events, however, there was an 
extra shot off at 50 targets per man, $5 entrance, reversed order. 
How the wind made the targets get away from the traps, and how 
when once away they eluded the shot, is perhaps best shown by the 
scores made by the cracks in this event: Dickey and Fulford 36, 
Leroy and M, H. Clark 34; Bartlett 33, Glover 28, Apgar 27, Young 26.

The $50 average money was cut up as follows: First, Dickey and 
Apgar, 83 8; second, Sickley, 82 9; third, Young, 81.-2; fourth. Leroy, 
80.8. To qualify for the above prizes the shooters had to take part in 
events 3-9 each day, these events calling for 235 targets. The other 
shooters who shot in all the above events, but wtio did not get in for 
average prizes, were: Bartlett, 80.4; Glover, 79.5, and Fulford, 78 7. 
THIRD DAY, MARCH 20. 
This was the first live-bird day of the tournament, and after the storm 
of yesterday the bright sun and cold, sharp air of co-day was most ac- 
ceptable to those who ventured out to Baycbester to have a try at the 
Cobweb's pigeons. There were several new faces among the crowd: 
Milt Lindsley and Harry King, of King's Smokeless Powder Co.; Dick 
Merrill, of Milwaukee; C. W. Tuttle and Geo. Corning, Jr., of Auburn, 
N. Y.; Chas. Wagner, of Fulton, N. Y.; M. Herrington, of the Ameri- 
can (W-A) Smokeless Powder Co. , etc. Altogether 2s shooters took 
part in the events shot at to-day. Bill Clark, late of Altoona, Pa., but 
now a Jerseyman from Hoboken, led for the day with a clean score of 
29 straight. Fulford also weDt straight in the programme events, tie- 
ing Clark's score, but he lost 2 birds out of 7 in the extra events. 
The programme events were: No. 1. 5 birds, $5, class shooting, 3 
moneys, birds included; No. 2,7 birds, $7, class shooting, 3 moneys, 
birds included; No. 3. 10 birds, $7, 5 high guns, birds extra; No. 4, 7

Capt. Money, Train, Fulford and Lindsley, 4; McDonnell and Jack 
Elliott, 3; Barker and Corning, 1. 
Extra No. 2 was a $3 miss-and-out with 9 entries. The result was as 
balow: Corning and Lindsley, 3; Money and Kerker, 2; Fulford, 
McKeon and Train, 1 ; Nichols and Greiff 0. 
FOURTH DAY, MARCH 21. 
The last day of the tournament was favored with glorious weather 
for the time of year. There was enough snap to the air and gust 
enough breeze blowing to send off the birds with a speed that served 
to knock out even the cracks. The Mott traps were used to-day, as 
yesterday, and the work they did, although only just put down, made 
many friends for them. The traps were painted a brownish color, 
harmonizing very well with the prevailing color of the ground, caus- 
ing the shooter additional trouble in getting quickly on to a fast bird 
that went away from him. The birds as a whole were an excellent 
lot, with only here and there some of the regulation puddin's In the 
main event, the Cobweb Handicap, there were 38 entries, only one of 
whom, Cornelius Furgueson, Jr., managed to make a clean score. 
Bill Clark, Neaf Apgar and W. J. Simpson missed 1 bird each; W. W. 
Bennett, of Boston, Sim Glover and Gus. Greiff, who shot in capital 
form, landed third money with 13 apiece. Of the remaining 21 entries, 
11 got 12 and cut up fourth money, each man receiving a little more 
than $3 apiece as a return for the "$15, birds extra." 
Miss Annie Oakley managed to get away from the Sportsmen's Ex- 
position, where she was engaged all the week showing the merits of 
the Francotte ejectors on exhibition at the stand of Von Lengerke & 
Detmold, to try her hand and gun against some of the Baj Chester 
birds. "Unfortunately she was a little under the weather, suffering 
from an attack of headache, her scores of course showing the effects 
consequent on such an attack. Conny Furgueson, the boy shooter of 
the New Utrecht Gun Club, shot very well, scoring 19 out of 22. 
It was late before the handicap was over, but there was plenty of 
light left to bring off a miss-and-out, which was divided between Bart- 
lett and Fulford at the end of the 6th round. The scores in to-day's 
events were:

The Apgar-Hebbard tournament at Elizabeth, N. J., commences on 
Tuesday next. March 31 , and continues for threw days. Elsewhere we 
give a notice of the programme for this event, from which it will be 
gathered that the boys have arranged the programme to suit the mul- 
titude. All that is npeded to make the tournament an entire success 
is a touch of that spring weather we are all so anxiously waiting for 
No notice taken of anonymous coin muni catiortw 
E, H. B.— We have a bet about speckled brook trout. A bets that 
the trout weighing 10 to 121bs. caught in the Rangeley lakes are the 
same species, same family and same speckled trout as those caught at 
tbe South Side Club, Long Island and New York State. B differs. 
Who wins? Ans A. 
W. W. B., New York.— I have an Irish setter dog, trained to hunt 
birds and a good hunter. When not hunting and out for exercise, he 
very often starts and runs away. I call him, but does he not mind. I 
have punished rim, whipping him, I have coaxed him and tried most 
everything for the last six months to break him of this habit. Instead 
of getting better he is getting worse. He is 2 years old. Can he be 
broken of this habit? It so how? Ans. His running away as you 
mention is not an uncommon trait of dogs and is simply from a desire 
to gratify the buntiDg or roving freedom, which desire is more or less 
an instinct in all dogs. There is no cure for it other than mechanical 
restraint. Age generally cures or modifies the habit. The habit has 
no reference either to like or dislike of their master. If dogs can 
roam with their master the freedom satisfies them; if they cannot so 
roam they will roam alone. In short, it is much the same as the habit 
called self -hunting.
