Central New York Trap-Shooters. 
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 39.— The sixth meeting of the Central New 
Yprk Trap-Shooters' 1 - League was held on the new grounds of the 
Rochester Rod and Gun Club, Sept. 25 and 26. The meet was a great 
success, as.are all of our League shoots. The main interest centers 
on the team race and individual championship race. At this meeting 
two other events were advertised to take place: S. Glover and B. D. 
Fulford were matched for a 100-target race for $25 a side, while E. C. 
Meyer and Geo. Corning announced that the second of their series of 
100 bird races for $100 a side each race would come off, but Mr. Corn- 
ing did not put in an appearance. Glover shot in fine form, defeating 
the TJtica champion by the excellent score of 94 to 88. Fulford claims 
he has not become accustomed to the new stock recently fitted to his 
Greener. 
Among the out of town shooters were T. H. Keller, of the U. S. Car- 
tridge Co.; Paul North, of Cleveland, O.; D. C. Smith, of Hamilton, 
Ont., and champion of Canada; E. F. Hammond, of Buffalo; Messrs. 
Brown, Hobbie and Kendall, of Binghamton, and all the well known 
cracks from Utica, Syracuse and Auburn. 
Rochester still leads in the team race for the League trophy, Utica, 
the nearest champion, being 11 birds behind, Syracuse and Auburn 
being a tie, 23 birds behind. There are two more meetings of the 
League, one at Utica in October and the other at Syracuse in Novem- 
ber, the trophy goes to the team making the highest aggregate score 
in the eight contests. 
In the individual championship race T. H. Kaller made a clean score 
of 25, taking first money, but he is not in for the championship prize. 
In this contest the best six scores out of eight count for the trophy. 
Here are the scores:

Carver vs. Crosby. 
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 25.— Fresh from his three straight defeats by 
Elliott in Kansas City, Dr. Carver came to St. Louis to shoot a series 
of three 100-bird races, the best two in the three for a stake of $200 a 
side, with Wm. Crosby, of O'Fallon, 111. The shoots took place on 
Sept. 22, 23 and 24, and resulted in Carver's taking the two last, Crosby 
winning the first. The scores were: First match, Crosby 95, Carver 
93; second match, Carver 95, Crosby 89; third match, Carver 95, 
Crosby 92. 
Crosby is an O'Fallon, 111., boy, but has spent much of his time in 
St. Louis. He is 28 years of age, and has been shooting matches since 
he was 16 years old. Among his individnal matches, of which he has 
won 17, he won the Southern Illinois championship, and the champion- 
ship of the Rocky Mountain Association. Detailed scores of the 
second and third matches are given below:

Chattanooga Gun Club. 
The Chattanooga Gun Club, the organization under whose auspices 
the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association gave a tourna- 
ment in Chattanooga Sept. 19 and 20, is comparatively a baby in age, 
being yet barely twelve months old. In pluck and go it is the equal of 
nine out of ten clubs in the States, as evidenced by the way in which 
its executive officers took hold of and carried out to such a successful 
termination the tournament above referred to. 
Its officers are: F. I. Stone, President; D. J. O'Connell, Vice-Presi- 
dent; Wm. White, Secretary, and F. H. Wood worth. Treasurer. All 
these gentlemen are first-rate shots, but Mr. Stone's bent is more to 
hunt quail than smash targets. Messrs. O'Connell, White and Wood- 
worth shot right along with the boys, the last named in particular 
striking a gait that was fast enough for anybody. The club includes 
among its members many other enthusiastic sportsmen, and will no

There is a gentleman in this vicinity who originally hailei from 
England, who has the reputation of raising and trapping the best lot 
of pigeons in this country, and many and various have been the 
"cracks" that this great pigeon grower has made concerning his birds 
and their shot-proof proclivities. He recently made the assertion that 
neither of the champions, Elliott. Carver nor Brewer, nor any other 
•'bloomin' champion," could kill 9 ont of 10 of his birds. A little cor- 
respondence with Mr. Elliott just after his victory over Carver brougt 
an offer from Jim to shoot against 100 of the Englishman's birds, 
American Association rules, and kill 90 of them for $250 a side and all 
the gate money, allowing the Englishman the privilege of handling his 
birds to suit himself. The writer called upon the Englishman and 
offered to post Elliott's money, but it was no go. He simply flunked,, 
and while many around here think the Englishman had the best end 
of, the match, all unite in guying him for not clinching the match 
after blowing so "bloomin' 'ard." Elliott says if there is anything he 
would particularly delight in doing it would be to kill some birds that 
an old country bird handler considered invulnerable. At present, 
however, it seemB that the Englishman prefers to kepp his birds. 
Probably they are pets or family relicB, Mamai.uke, 
doubt soon become a factor of some magnitude when it comes to 
forming a Tennessee State Sportsmen's Association. 
The photograph, from which the accompanying cut was made, was 
taken at the tail end of the third day's shoot. The programme had 
been shot out, and Captain Brewer, whose well-known form will be 
seen seated in the chair alongside Elmer Shaner, who presided over 
the pulling apparatus pro tern,., was waiting to give his exhibition of 
fancy shooting which brought the three days' tournament to a close. 
Taking these facts into consideration, the number of shooters present 
is flattering to the club. An examination of the guns in the hands of 
the shooters will show that doublebarrels and pump guns were pretty 
evenly divideS. The picture is not unlike many others of a similar 
nature, and only those who took part can actually realize "the fun we 
had." 
Of the historical features, so prominent around Chattanooga, none 
are visible in the photograph. It was a necessity that the photog- 
rapher should stand with his back to Lookout Mountain, while Mission 
Ridge lay away off to his right hand. On the actual scene of the 
tournament no fighting took place, all the struggles in that section 
being practically confined to the south bank of the Tennessee River.
