working order. Screens, painted a dart green, shielded the trapper 
boys, Who stood up to their work, a deep trench having been dug the 
whole length of each screen. This trench Dot only permitted the t rap- 
pers to attend to business standing up, but also allowed "John" W. 
Dunbar, the superintendent of the factory, to getaround from trap to 
trap when any attention was needed. In the cashier's office, Jas. W. 
Clinton took the entries and arranged the squads, while Mr. Benjamin 
Lee looked after the paying out of winnings. The cashier's office, 
together with the blackboards and manifold tables, were placed be- 
tween the two sets of traps. At the upper set of traps, James Ham- 
mill, as referee, called out "dead" and "lost," according to the old 
style; Frank M, Curtiss acting as referee at the lower set and using 
t be more modern horn and bell to denote breaks and misses. Referees' 
work was by no means easy, fractional breaks of a very slight char- 
acter being quite common. 
On Sept. 21, the day following the elos<* of the Interstate Manufac- 
turers' and Dealers' Association's tournament at Chattanooga, T-«nn., 
1 he Tennessee State shoot will be held on the same grounds. All events 
are at known traps, unknown angles* and are open to residents of the 
State only. Event No. 0 on the programme will be a team shoot, 
t-ams to b6 composed of 6 men each, 15 targets per man, known traps, 
unknown angles, amount o£ entrance fee and character of trophy to 
lie agreed upon, winning tewn to he givpn certificate, trophy to be 
open to competition on terms to be agreed upon on evening of fcOth by 
representatives of competing teams. 
'•Bilderback's Trap-Shooter's Memorandum" is the latest thing in a 
trap-shooter's line. The memorandum book contains columns for the 
entry of targets in each event, number broken, entrance money, money 
received, amount won, amount lost, and remarks. The book, which is 
4J^in. by 2J^, contains a number of pages sufficient to cover fifteen 
days' shooting. The idea has been copyrighted bv "Bilclerback," 
Charles Fehrenbaeh, Fourth and French streets, Wilmington, Del. 
It a was Heikes tournament at New London. Rolla carried off the 
Standard Keystone trophy on the first day with 69 out of 75. after a 
tie with Col. Anthony; the L, C. Smith trophy on the second day with 
a total of 46; on the third day he won the Winchester repeating shot- 
gun with a clear score of 25, and the Peters Cartridge Co.'s trophy 
with 47 out of 50. 
The first week of Oc'ober, 1895, has been claimed by the Keystone 
Shooting League, of Philadelphia, as the week in which it will hold the 
annual tournament of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Associ- 
ation. The club's grounds are at Holmesburg Junction, on the line of 
the Pennsylvania Railroad. 
The Ohio Trap-Shooters' League have fixed upon May 15-16, 1895, as 
ihw dates on which their next annual meeting and tournament will be 
held. The tournament will be under the auspices of the Buckeye Gun 
Club of Dayton. 
The next contest for the club championship of New Jersey takes 
placi on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Rutherford. The fight next Saturday 
is apparently between the Boiling Springs and Climax gun clubs. 
The Mt. Kisco Rod and Gun Club, of Mt. Kisco. N. Y., will hold its 
fall tournament at its shooting park on Sept. 20 and 21. For pro- 
grammes address H. E. Wood, secretary. 
The Worcester Sportsman's Association, of Worcester, Mass., is 
holding a tournament this week. Among those who will take part 
are Heikes, Van Dyke and Bartlett. 
New Brunswick, N. J., has been chosen as the scene of the next meet- 
ing of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League, Thursday, Sep. 20. 
Don't forget the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Associa- 
tion's tournament at Chattanooga, Tenn., on Sept. 19 and 20. 
Straight scores were exceedingly rare at New London when the high 
class of shooters present is taken into consideration,

The Proposed International Contests. 
The mere mention of the possibility of a meeting between the live 
b ru shots of the United States and Europe has aroused a remarkable 
dt-gree uf enthusiasm. The subject has been a fruitful topic of con 
versition among trap-shooters for the past ten days, and the unani- 
ro us wish of all is that such a meeting may take place. 
Tne idea is still in embryo, nothing beyond the simple preliminaries 
m the way of sounding the feelings of the Europeans on this matter 
iiaving been done Mr. J. Seaver Page, one of the most expert live 
bird shots in this country, is the prime mover and agitator of the plan 
to bring about an international series of live bird matches, But Mr. 
Paa;e does not stand alone; he is ably seconded by Messrs. Edgar Mur- 
P"y, Fred Hoey and others, every one of whom is anxious to try con- 
clusions with the foreigners at the traps. 
Mr. Page expresses nimself as more than hopeful of a successful 
outcome of the preliminary proceedings. When in England recently, 
while taking part in the events of the international week at Hurling- 
ham, and at the Gun Club, Mr. Page broached the subject of an inter- 
national contest to members of both clubs Capt. Forester Leighton, 
Gapt. Shelley and Mr. Hopwood of the Hurlingham Club, Messrs. 
Robert Beresford and the McCorcodale brothers of the Gun Club, at 
once became interested in th« affair and may be trusted to do their 
share toward bringing off the series of matches which it is proposed 
shall be held. 
An excellent feature is the interest displayed by some of the most 
noted French experts, Messrs. Journu, Gervais and Drivon. France 
can unquestionably select a strong team to uphold the honor of the 
tricolor; a glance at the records made by the Frenchmen during the 
recent international week readily shows what they can do. 
Italy could also furnish her quota toward a team in an international 
contest. ' Signor Guidiclni has many compatriots who know how to 
handle the shotgun effectively at live birds. 
There has been some talk about amalgamating the gun clubs of the 
different countries of Europe, and making the match one strictly be- 
tween the United States and Europe. Englishmen and Frenchmen, 
however, do not favor this plan, but prefer to make it a team race of 
an international character. The trophy to be shot for, it nas been 
suggested, shall be a cup or something of that nature, the team which 
wins it a certain number of times to become the ultimate owner of the 
cup or trophy. 
Although, as has been said, everything is as yet in a state of uncer- 
tainty, the scheme may take on a more tangible shape at any moment. 
One thing is certain, however, and that is, that the United States of 
America stand ready to put a team in the field either against the com- 
bined clubs of Europe or in a purely international contest. 
Trap at San Antonio. 
San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 2,— The trophyy shoot of the San Antonio 
Gun Club is narrowing down to a few contestants. The conditions of 
the contest are somewhat peculiar, the trophy going at the end of the 
season to the shooter credited with the nighest number of wins in the 
various trophy contests. J. N. Rothwell leads with 4 wins, closely 
followed by Aoe Samuels, August Thialeand A. O.iParis; Mr Paris' 
score in the shoot of Sept. 2, placing him only one behind the leader 
The shoot is at 20 singles and 5 pairs. Considerable betting on the 
ultimate winner of the trophy is being indulged in, Mr. Samuels being 
apparently the choice of his clubmates, while outsiders seem to fancy 
the chance of Mr. Rothwell. All things considered the race is an open 
one but the end is near. The following are the scores made on Sept 
2; No. 1, 10 singles and 3 pairs: France 11, Samuels 11, Paris 8, Roth- 
well 9, Smith 13, Veith 12, Thiele 10, Cann 9. No. 2, 15 singles- France

New Utrecht Gun Club. 
The New Utrecht Gun Club has issued its schedule of fixtures until 
Dec. 31, when the club year ends. Several valuable prizes are offered 
for competition both at live birds and targets. Mr. C. Furgueson Jr 
has presented a cup representing the championship of the club at live 
birds for 1894. The cup, which is called the New Utrecht cup, is shot 
for under club rules and club handicaps, and will be awarded to the 
member making the highest average in two-thirds or more of the club 
Shoots held. Each shoot will be at 10 pigeons. The club will award a 
second prize to the member making the second highest average during 
the year, under conditions same as provided for the New Utrecht cup 
The E. C. Powder cup is of sterling silver, to be shot for under New 
Utrecht Gun Club rules and handicaps. Shoots will be held every 
month, and the cup will become the property of any member winning 
it three times in succession. Each snoot for this cup will be shot as a 
sv,f ppstake ($3 entrance), and from each sweep will be taken the sum 
of $5, which will go with the cup to the member eventually winning 
the latter. As prizes for inanimates, the club will present to the two 
members making the first and second highest averages for the year 
suitable prizes or trophies, as heretofore. If sufficient interest is 
taken in these shoots, they hope to give a handsome sterling silver 
cup to the winner of the first prize. The opening shoot of the club at 
targets takes place next Saturday afternoon, Sept, 15, on the Third 
avenue grounds. 
ject. Mr. Post says the trap-pulling was denounced bv certain shoot- 
ers friendly to us, the result being that the trao-mjlW was removed. 
This occurred near the end of our Rhooting. I wan not pwn h at. any 
meeting, but know the trap-puller was removed and a n°w man put in 
— certainly some one must have felt as we did in the mutter and fol- 
lowed it up. The man certainly was not removed without cause. Now 
let me give you Mr. Post's experience after the puller had been 
changed. He states he went to the score and shot; he drew an Inside 
trap, the first, he said, for some time, and upon turning to leave the 
score, three gentlemen came out from behind the railing and con- 
gratulated him upon bis having drawn other than an end trap. Isn't 
this a peculiar and suggestive occurrence? Does any one who may 
read of this experience of Mr. Post's believe otherwise than that we 
were discriminated against? 
Fifth— In making public the following, I beg to state that it is done 
with regret and only after careful consideration. I have never before 
made public anything told me in confidence, but after the reflections 
Capt Money has seen fit to cast upon me, all fair-minded men will 
agree that the situation warrants it. One evening on board the 
Britannic talking over pigeon shooting— this on our way to Europe — 
the Captain stated that the end traps would certainly be pulled for us 
at critical times; to be plain, we must expect it, as he knew the trap- 
puller, and we would surely be discriminated against, and wound up 
his statement by saying that "the worst of it is th« trap-puller was 
formerly my gardener, and I got him his position there." Now. in 
17 10 ±v nv xv so 10 iv zv xv no connection with this, does any one believe that the Captain told this 
in fun? Not much; he gave it out as positive. He has shot on these 
same grounds for years, and he must have had some good reason for 
warning us as he did. Now, however, he says the opinions I have 
expressed are absurd ; possibly they are. but he certainlv then held 
i the «ame views and now publicly seems to have changed for reasons 
0 • • • • • • best known to himself. 
In conclusion I desire to say that by many we were treated very 
cordially, among them being Cant. Leighton. Capt. Shelley, Lord 
Westbury, Capt. Harvey, Mr Sutcliffe, Mr. Noakes, Mr. Walter Smith, 
Col. Salbeld, Sir Geo. Buckanan, Mr. Martin and Mr. Eley. 
All of the above is indorsed by Mr. Post, and such parts as refer to 
Mr. Wilmerding, by him. Frederic G. Moore. 
Endeavor Gun Club. 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Marion, N. J., held an all-day shoot on 
Labor Day, Sept. 3. The entry list was large, some thirty-seven shoot- 
ers taking part In the programme events. The score sheet for event 
No. 1 having been mislaid, that column must remain a Wank. A 
glance at the other totals will show that the boys were not only find- 
ing the empire targets, b"t were cracking them. This was only to te 
expected, as the company was pretty warm. Among thos« preseut 
were Breintnall, Van Dyke, Bartlett, "Shorty," Hoffman, C»pt. 
Money and his son Noel, Drake, T. W. Morfey. Ttrantingham, Rich- 
mond, Youmans and Eddie Collins. In No. 7, at 25 targets, there w«-re 
eighteen entries, making a total of 450 targets thrown during the race; 
of that number 383 were broken, making the percentage for the 
eighteen shooters of a trifle over 85 per c»nt In aaditijn to the 
twelve events on the programme three extras were shot off. The 
weather of course was all that could be desired. 
The conditions under which the programme events were shot were 
varied: No. 2 was everything known; No. 3, unknown angles; No. 4, 
expert rules; No. 5, expert rules; No. 6, everything known; No. 7, 
everything known; No. 8, everything known; No. 9, everything 
known; No. 10, expert rules, use of both barrels; Nos. 11 and 12, 
everything known. Scores:

The Americans on British Trap Grounds. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I regret exceedingly having ever publicly criticised the treatment 
accorded to Americans at the Gun Club and Hurlingham. Having 
been a guest at those clubs, no matter how contemptible the treat- 
ment, I should have remained quiet. To club men, I apologize for the 
"break." To sportsmen, in closing this controversy finally, I give 
a few plain statements, and they may decide for themselves whether 
Capt. Money in his recent letter to your paper states facts or fiction 
The statements in the newspapers were incsrrect. Following is my 
version of the affair: 
First— Mr. Welch, mirabile dictu, now indorses Capt. Money's letter 
though disgusted at the treatment he received, announced on the Gun 
Club grounds Tuesday, June 26. "I have enough," stopped shooting 
and, although he went to London especially to shoot during Interna- 
tional week, June 25 to June 30, he did not again shoot until the last 
day. I personally engaged Mr. Welch's return passage at his request 
for July 18. He, however, left England July 4. Mr. A, Clinton Wil- 
merding, president of the American Spaniel Club, Mr, E. L. Post and 
1 think, Mr. Alburger, will confirm the above. ' 
Second— Capt Money told me he was thoroughly dissatisfled, said 
we were all badly handicapped, and stated that although he had tried 
he could not succeed in having our handicaps changed. 
Third— The Shooting Times and British Sportsman, of June 23, 1894 
espoused our cause, and issued the following in connection with the 
scores of one or the shoots in which one of our party had divided the 
stake: "We were extremely glad to see one of the visitors to the fore 
as we consider them very severely handicapped, which is scarcely the 
way to encourage them or others to come again. Twenty-seven yards 
is a fair mark to start a stranger till one sees what he can d -; then, if 
he wins a good prize or shows very marked superiority, put him back 
a bit. But give him a chance to start with ; and it seems rather rough 
on foreign shots, who come immense distances to compete with us, to 
be stuck on the back marks to begin with, however fine shots they 
may be." 
Fourth— The statements relative to the 2yds. difference in distance 
of trap from handicap mark at Hurlingham, also the changing of the 
trap-puller at the Gun Club v, ere made by Mr. Post. No reflection 
was east upon the Hurlingham Club as the captain implies, Mr. Post 
simply said that the 2yds. was a greater handicap to the long-distance 
men than to the sh6rt The changing of the trap-puller at the Gun 
Club certainly gave, good grounds for our suspicions and confirmed 
Capt. Money's warning to us mentioned later in this letter. We were 
singularly unfortunate.C?) in drawing end traps and hard birds, and one 
day a record was kept and members of our party drew end iraps time 
and time again, and this in connection with the strong wind blowing 
certainly was an additional handicap to the unfair handicap marks 
from which we were shooting. We were not alone in our suspicions 
for I myself overheard conversations among Englishmen on the sub'
