Morfey vs. Pier. 
PAterson, N. J., Oct. 23.— About 500 people went to Rogers's 
grounds to-day to see what was thought would prove a fight to a finish 
between these" two men, as their last match resulted In a tie, each kill- 
ing 10 birds. Considerable money was wagered on the result to-day. 
Each side was well provided, and the Morfey followers did not let one 
dollar go begging. Before the match was half over they were offering 
odds of 10 to 6 on their favorite, which he justified by the remarkable 
Way in which he was shooting. The birds were of the first order , every 
one being trained for the occasion. They were all game and strong. 
They were much too fast for Pier, as he was shooting away behind; 
he was simply outclassed, throwing up the sponge after missing his 
thirteenth bird. Morfey only shot at 12. Capt. Money, of Oakland, 
N. J : John Lennard, of Morristown, N. J., and a number of others 
whose names I could not learn, were present. Morfey shot his Greener 
12-gauge, using 48grs. American E. 0. powder and lJ4oz. No. 7 shot 
ioaded in the U. M. 0. Co.'s New Trap shell. Scores: 
Match, 15 live birds, $100 a side, Long Island rules, 30yds. rise, 80yds.

Tournament of the Soo Gun Club. 
Sioux City, la., Oct. 20.— The first annual tournament of the Soo 
Gun Club of this city was held on the 9th and 10th of this month. The 
attendance was good and the shoot a success in every way. The 
weather was fine but a high wind blew both days and caused the tar- 
gets to be quite tricky, and high scores were not made as a rule. The 
club added some thirty-two special prizes to the different purses and 
a number of the boys went home loaded with various things a trap- 
shooter would like. The officers and members of the club did all in 
their power to make it pleasant for the visiting sportsmen. Every one 
had a royal good time and will be glad to visit Sioux City and take 
part in the next annual tournament of the Soo Gun Club. There were 
iwo medals given by the club emblematic of the Northwestern cham- 
pionship, one for live birds and one for targets. Mr. C. M. Grimm of 
Clear Lake, la., won the live bird medal after an exciting shoot off. 
Mr. Taylor of South Dakota won the target medal after a hard-fought 
battle on ties; he had to break thirty straight to win. Five dollars 
was added to every purse in the target events except on the medal 
shoot on the second day. Scores:

The Great Northern's Game Book. 
The lines of the Great Northern Railway run west from St. Paul to 
the Pacific coast, and so cross Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, 
Idaho and Washington; in other words, some of the best hunting and 
fishing grounds left in this country. The points on this line Where 
good sport may be had are many, yet it is not always easy to obtain 
information about such points, or to learn what special game or fish 
are to be found at them, or what special arrangements must be made 
for a trip. 
Mr. Malcolm E. Nichols is planning a small but extremely compre- 
hensive book which will give at a glance detailed information on all 
these points of the very kind most needed by the sportsman. The 
book will consist of an alphabetical numbered list of the Great North- 
ern stations, which will be followed by a number of columns variously 
headed. In these columns will be found— among other things— the 
fare to the point, the kind of game there, whether it is plenty or 
scarce, the arm needed— whether rifle or shotgun— whether a guids is 
needed or not and his price per day, whether or no a dog is required, 
if a team must be used, and if so, its price per day. The series of 
columns devoted to fish is similarly arranged, and the information 
given is compact and is intended to cover every possible inquiry that 
the sportsman would make. 
Another division of this compendium will be a list of the game and 
fish found iu the country of the Great Northern, and following each 
species is a list, by numbers, of the stations at which it can be taken. 
A list of all books pertaining to the various species is to be printed, so 
that the reader may fully inform himself as to the habits of the game 
he may elect to follow. 
It is probable that this little work, which will be a sort of sports- 
man's gazetteer of the Northwestern United States, will be ready 
in about six weeks, and that it will be sold for a small sum. Sports- 
men who are interested should correspond with Mr. Malcolm E.
