New Utrecht Gun Club Scores. 
Thirteen members of the New Utrecht Gun Club put in an appear- 
ance on Saturday last, Nov. 24 at the club's grounds, Woodlawn, L. t, 
and entered their names for the club race at ten live birds, handicap 
allowance. The birds were excellent flyers and no true straight scores 
were made, although C. T. Pennington and E. Lohman, both class C. 
men, tallied ten with the aid of their full handicap allowances. With 
such men entered as Capt. Money, C. Furgueson, Jr., Nostrand. Couls- 
ton, Morfey and W. F. Sykes. this speaks volumes for the class of 
birds provided. The result of Saturday's race leaves Conny Furgueson, 
3d, 0. A. Sykes and T. W. Morfey all bunched for first place. Morfey 
and Conny being a tie. The little fellow drew some hard birds, his 
10th being particularly swift. Such a lot of twisters as were trapped 
during the afternoon are very seldom seen at an ordinary club shoot. 
After the club race ten men entered a five-bird sweep,"$2 entrance, 
class shooting. Although it was a short race. FesEenden alone killed 
all and took first money. In a second event of a precisely similar 
nature with nine entries, four men killed straight. Twosmiss and outs , 
$3 entrance, brought the afternoon's sport to a close. While these 
events were being shot, the lamps of New Utrecht shone brightly on 
every hand. 
Prior to the club race Capt. Money and C. Furgueson, Jr., shot a 
match for the price of the birds. The conditions were 50 live birds per 
man, 30yds. rise and 50yds. boundary. Capt. Money was shooting in 
good form, being quick with his first and centering his birds well. TTe 
won easily by 10 birds, killing 45 to 35. The birds were corkers, which, 
added to Furgueson being out of all time and form, resulted in his 
poor score. His start was disastrous enough; he dropped four out of 
his first six shot at. The way he undershot all birds alike proved very 
conclusively that his gun is far too crooked for live birds. Capt. 
Money lost but one bird in his first 25, Mb 18fch bird, a low swift driver, 
wbich fell dead out of bounds. Furgueson had no less than five dead 
nut of bounds out of his 15 missed birds Capt. Money, of course, shot 
E. C, 50grs. of it: Furgueson stuck to Schultze, his load being 44grs, 
Scores of the afternoon's work are as follows:

flight— left-quartering rincomers, and "easy ones at that; his 18th fell 
dead just behind the score, but [his .other two lost birds were appar- 
ently almost unharmed.' a**.- • . . t — """" 
It thus remained for Knapp" to fight it out" with Work." A good 
deal depended on the result; if Work won, the cup was his; if Knapp 
came out ahead, it gave him three wins, while Hoey. Money and the 
others would still have had a chance for the cup. Knapp's 8th bird 
fell dead out of bounds; he then killed out straight; Work missed his 
19th bird, an easy one, although a driver; killing his next 6 he tied 
with Knapp. The rule is to shoot off the ties in this race at 5 birds. 
In the first series both killed their 5; in the second series Work killed 
all his birds, while Knapp let a left quarterer get away from him, 
although he filled it full of shot. This gave the cup to George Work. 
That he had had to shoot to win it is shown by the scores he made in 
the last two contests: Nov. 7, 24 out of 25; Nov. 31, 34 out of 35, a total 
of 58 out of 60 birds at 3lyds. rise. 
In the matter of birds Work had somewhat the best of it at the 
start, although it should be stated to his credit that at no time did he 
allow his birds to have a chance of becoming hard; he snapped them 
up right close to the trap. His score shows 13 first- barrel kills out of 
his 25 birds; he also used his second for safety five time on his remain- 
ing 12 birds. His judgment of place, etc.. was very accurate, and the 
judgment with which he used his Fecond barrel on his last bird in the 
ties (a dark brown bird, that started as a driver, but on being hit 
with the first barrel turned to tbe right) would be hard to beat. 
Knapp deserves special mention for the nerve he displayed In this 
contest. He made some really remarkable second barrel kills, par- 
ticularly in the ties, and although under the whip all the time after his 
bad luck with his eighth bird, he was as cool as the proverbial cucum- 
ber. His total for the day when all was over was 48 out of 51.

Work Won the Cup. 
The sixteenth and, as It proved, the final contest for the 81,000 inter- 
club cup, won by the Carteret Club last year, took place on Wednes- 
day, Nov. 21, at the grounds of the Carteret Club, Bergen Point, N. J. 
The day was a poor one for pigeon shooting, there being scarcely a 
breath of air; added to this, the sky was overcast and rain was falling 
when the members got together and shot a few practice birds prior to 
the main event of the day. Then the sun came out and the rain 
cleared away, but for all that could be seen of the northern shore of 
Newark Bay from the club house, that body of water might have been 
the Atlantic Ocean itself. Occasionally a stray tug would steam paet 
showing up dimly in the haze; gliding through the unruffled waters 
of the bay, it was soon swallowed up by the incipient fog which later 
on in the afternoon caused considerable delay to traffic on the North 
and East rivers. Shortly after 4 the fog swept down in earnest and 
very nearly put an end to all further shooting. As it was, the hour of 
5 had struck, and it was quite too dark to see with anything like cer- 
tainty when Knapp missed his 4th bird in the third miss and but, end- 
ing the shoot for the afternoon. 
George Work, Fred Hoey and Capt. Money of course were on hand 
to have a try for the cup. Each had four wins to his credit; another 
victory to either of them meant good-bye to tbe S1,000 cup for the 
balance of the members. J. Knapp, with two wins to bis name, also 
took part in the race and, as it turned out, gave George Work a tough 
nut to crack before he ultimately won out when Knapp missed his 10th 
bird in tbe ties There were seven entries, L. S. Thompson, Fred Hoey, 
Capt. Money, George Work, J. S. "Williams," J. Knapp and Schultze. 
Tbe last named dropped out on the 10th round, lack of practice 
causing him to drop three birds out of his first ten. Capt. Money lost 
his 2d and 4th dead out of bounds and retired at the end of the 11th 
round, being beaten by a right-quarterer that was fast enough and 
tricky enough to suit anybody. The next to drop out was Fred Hoey, 
who had shot well but had drawn a remarkably hard lot of birds. He 
went out on the 20th round, being followed on the next round by "Wil- 
liams" and Thompson. "Williams's" work throughout the race was 
hardly up to his form; there were reasons for it, however, chief 
among them being a long railroad trip from the West. Thompson, 
one of the best shots in tbe club, has been pursued by the hardest 
kind of luck in these contests. This Is well evidenced by the fact that 
he has not a single win to his name out of all the 16 races. He was 
shooting well on this day, and up to the 15th round had shot quick and 
cleanly; he had had none the best of it either in the matter of birds; 
note tbe flight of his first 14 birds. Then came a break; he dropped 
his 15th, 18th and 21st birds, each one of these precisely similar in

At the close of the cup contest Work, who is president of the Car- 
teret Club, announced that he would donate a cup, value $500, to be 
known as the President's Cup, to be competed for on almost precisely 
the same terms as that under which he had won the other cup. The 
main difference in the conditions is that the races will be at 20 birds 
instead of 25, and that ties will be shot off miss and out instead of in 
series of 5 birds. The first contest for the President's cup is set for 
Wednesday next, Dec. 4. Five wins will make any club member the 
owner of this cup. 
Kansas City Defeats Ottawa. 
Kansas City. Mo., Nov. 23. — The Metropolis Gun Club, of Kansas 
City, Kan., held an ail-day Peoria blackbird shoot at the Fowler shoot- 
ing grounds on Tuesday of this week. The feature of the day was a 
team race between the Metropolis Club and the Ottawa (Kan.) Club, 
eight men to a team and each man shooting at 35 targets. It was to 
have been a three-cornered shoot, with Leavenworth in, but the Leav- 
enworth team failed to put in an appearance. The Metropolis Club 
presented a strong team and won rather handily. Scores follow:

After the Ball. 
Chicago,'' 111., Nov. 24.— Since the great championship race of last 
week there has been much more talk of pigeon shooting in Chicago 
than actual matches shot. In fact, the great shooting carnival that 
was promised with the advent of Dr. Carver, seems to have rather in- 
gloriously petered out. The Doctor has seemingly been ready at all 
times to fulfill his various engagements, but a number of the men who 
had expressed an ardent desire to meet him became suddenly troubled 
with heart-failure after Carver had disposed of Mott with a score of 
95, and of Kleinman with 91. The Doctor's form has greatly improved 
since his first appearance here, and he could undoubtedly make mat- 
ters very warm for almost any one now. 
Of all the concourse of shooting men who have been here during the 
past, two weeks, but three have been consistently willing to shoot, and 
these have been Carver, Brewer and Grimm. The latter left here on 
Monday last much disappointed because his two weeks' visit had pro- 
duced but one match, that with Carver on Nov. 17. He was very 
anxious to meet the Doctor again in a series of three races, but the 
latter declined until he had met all the others who bad talked shoot. 
The little Iowan was unable to remain here longer, but he was anxious 
to impress upon me the fact that he would meet anyone, barring 
Brewer, and that he would come at once to Chicago on receipt of a 
telegram advising him of a match. 
He was particularly warm on Elliott's trail, but the latter advanced 
the plea that there was no chance for gate money in Chicago, and he 
deemed it only right that in some way the birds should be paid for at 
least. Still Elliott knew in advance that there was no gate here, so 
some people have asked why he came at all, seeing he would not shoot 
here. 
Brewer had in my hands for a full week, a forfeit of $200 to bind a 
race with Elliott for $500 a side at 200 birds each, but Jim declined to 
consider it. None of the other shooters wanted any of Brewer's 
game, so he was obliged to depart for the East without a match. 
Before he left, however, he and Carver agreed, so I learn, to shoot a 
series of ten matches at various points, during the winter. This 
would have much the flavor of a hippodrome, and unless the Eastern 
shooters are less wary than their Western confreres, will receive little 
patronage. We don't like such things out here. 
Carver's conduct during his visit here has been thoroughly gentle- 
manly and sportsmanlike, and he has created a most favorable im- 
pression. He has demonstrated his willingness to fulfill all actual or 
implied engagements. I should like very much to see a race between 
him and Abe Kleinman, who, I think, could give the Doctor a hard fight. 
Probably that will not take place however, as Abe has been shooting 
little of late. 
There was talk of a match or matches between Carver and Ed. 
Bingham, but the latter, I believe, did not consent to the date pro- 
posed by Carver, and as yet the races hang fire. In fact, I see no 
good prospect for the Doctor getting on any more matches with the 
local shooters, and as the oursiders have all l^ft Chicago, it is by no 
means improbable that Carver himself will shortly follow their 
example, and thus will end what promised to be a memorable meeting 
of expert shots, with matches enough to settle a number of disputes. 
Carver's match with Grimm, shot on Saturday, Nov. 17, was a pecu- 
liar example of the saying that a pigeon match is never out until the 
last bird is shot. Grimm missed 8 of his first 30 birds, and was 7 
behind on the 27th round, yet he shot with dogged persistence, aDd 
finally won with a margin of 3 birds. Carver's shooting in this race 
was dreadfully ragged at the close, and he seemed much annoyed at 
his defeat. 
In the afternoon of the same day. Carver shot a match with Mr. R. 
S. Mott, a local amateur who shot under the name of "Robin" in the 
championship shoot. The Doctor's complete reversal of form in this 
match from his performance in the morning, was remarkable. He 
killed his birds cleanly and in excellent time, and achieved the excel* 
lent total of 95. Mott's 89 was very creditable. 
On Monday, the 19tb, Carver and Geo. Kleinman met in a match for 
the regulation $100 a side, and the new champion met decisive defeat. 
Kleinman apparently had the race up to 60, but struck some bad luck, 
and, probably through loss of nerve, made bad shooting to the finish. 
Carver closed remarkably well, killing his last 40 in grand style. The 
day was bright, with a good breeze from the southwest, and the birds 
a good lot.

The most remarkable lot ot birds that have been furnished for a 
match in Chicago this year greeted Dr. Carver and J. D. Smith in their 
contest on Tuesday. A regular gale was blowing and this made the 
shooting the most difficult imaginable. John Watson, who adores 
good birds, says that Carver's score of 82 was the best shooting he has 
seen for a long time, and the best race the Doctor has shot here. 
Smith, who is a veteran duck shooter living at Evanston, likewise 
shot well, his score of 77 being excellent, considering the birds.

Trap at Little Rock. 
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 22.— The eleventh contest for the Pulaski 
county medal took place on the club grounds to-day. The weather 
was very unfavorable for target shooting. It was dark and gloomy at 
times, then occasionally the sun would shine for a few minutes, after 
which it would become clcudy again. This made the light very un- 
certain, and as the targets were thrown very low they were quite diffi- 
cult to 6ee. The scores made under existing conditions taken as a 
whole were very good. 
Dickinson won the medal at the previous contest and to-day he suc- 
cessfully defended it. The pace he set (45 out of 50) was just a little 
too hot for the boys; Duley was right after him with 43. When each 
had shot at 25 birds Duley led with 23, but he was unable to keep up 
this pace, and Dickinson soon passed him. After the first 35 he was 
compelled to change loads, not having any more of the kind he was 
accustomed to, and the substitute being much slower, this in a measure 
accounts for his falling down. Irwin did not shoot up to his usual 
form, being handicapped by having a new gun, this being the first 
time he has shot it at the trap. He says, "Just wait until I get used to 
my Smith ejector."

New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League. 
The fourth season of this successful organization will commence 
with the coming new year. The tournaments have during the past 
three years been the most successful of any held in the East; have 
been the means of bringing together members of gun clubs who would 
have otherwise remained strangers and have fostered a gentlemanly 
spirit of rivalry at the traps. The cost of joining the League is but 
trifling (initiation fee $3. annual dues $3, prize fund $5) and clubs 
have the advantage of a fine tournament each season on their own 
grounds, besides attending others which will be held monthly. Seei e- 
taries of clubs desiring to affiliate will please send their names and 
addresses to the undersigned who will furnish all information.
