FOREST AND STREAM. 
York on New Year's Day. The weather was cold and unpleas- 
ant, the ground covered with a sheet of snow which with its 
glaring surface made the shooting very difficult. The birds 
were an excellent lot; duffers were the exception; most of them 
were very good and quite a good percentage were "coi'kers." 
As will be seen from the scores given below, Krueger made the 
excellent run of 34 straight in the beginning of the match, and 
on the best birds of the match at that. He made this run with 
his new L. C. Smith ejector, made by the Hunter Arms Co., 
shooting it for the first time. The gun was %in. longer in the 
stock than any Krueger has shot heretofore, and not being ac- 
customed to this, the gun punished him so that he was obliged 
after shooting at 35 birds to change guns ; this undoubtedly was 
the cause of his losing the match. His load was 45grs. Amer- 
ican E. C. powder in U. M. 0. Trap shells with strong l%oz. No. 
7 chilled shot in both barrels. Ertter also shot a Smith ejector, 
the property of a gentleman of this place. Ertter used No. 7 
shot in the first barrel and No. 6 in the second. He is a very 
deliberate shot and makes some beautiful kills. Krueger is 
quick and snappy in all his movements, and when shooting his 
best does some brilliant work. 
The second match is to take place at Gettysburg, the home of 
Ertter, within a week or ten days. The date has not yet been 
set, but Forest and Stream will be furnished with the scores. 
The following are the scores of the first match, being one bird 
shoot. Only 99 birds were shot at by each man : 
First match between A. C. Krueger of Wrightsville, Pa., and 
C. R. Ertter of Gettysburg, 100 live birds per man, $100 a side,

Rye Defeats Coscob. 
The Ryo CN. Y.) Gun Club and the Coscob (Conn.) Gun Club 
shot a ten-men team race on Christinas Day on the group ds of 
the former at Brookview. Each team shot at 50 birds, losers to 
pay for the birds. Rye won after an exciting contest by two 
birds, the scores standing 33-31. Live bird and target events 
made up the balance of the programme for the day's sport. The 
same clubs will shoot a return match at targets on the Coscob 
grounds during the second week in January; the change from 
live birds to targets Is necessitated by the law which forbids 
live bird shooting in Connecticut. Scores :

Clark Won tie Medal. 
Haerisbdrg, Pa„ Dec. 30.— W. G. Clark: of Altoona, and W. 
Hepler, better known as "Wellington," of the Harrisburg Shoot- 
ing Association, shot a race yesterday for the Keystone Top 
Shot Wad Company's medal, which was held by Hepler. The 
latter recently defeated J. O'H. Denny in a match ior the same 
trophy by scoring 20 straight. Yesterday alteruoon Clark, who 
is shooting in a much improved style, turned the tables by scor- 
ing 19 to Hepler'a 18. 
Owing to the club shoot the match did not commence until 
4:45 P. M„ the last half being shot in the dark. The day was 
clear, but cold and windy, while the birds were a fair lot, with 
now and then a corker. The grounds are some three-quarters 
of a mile from a street car track, a distance that necessitated a 
drive to the grounds, particularly as there were 14 inches of 
snow covering the surface of the earth. The traps are located 
on the brow of a hill, all birds with an outgoing tendency being 
quickly lost to view# There is also a bad background caused by 
thick'woods. Clark apparently had Ihe luck of the birds, but 
this was unquestionably due to the fact that he didn't give his 
birds a chance to get hard, uilling them all close to the traps, 
centering them well and shooting in quick time. His 15th bird 
started as a driver and was hit hard with the first barrel; it then 
towered and was hit again with the second barrel; turning right 
back, it flew toward the score, going out of bounds about 1yd. 
high, finally turning and dropping dead 5yds. inside the bound- 
ary between the 3Cyds. mark and the traps. Clark's best birds 
were his 5th, 7th, 8th, 15th and 17th, every one of which was a 
hard bird. 
Hepler's 3d bird was a low-twisting driver, brown and white 
in color, but still hard to see on the snow ; it was hit hard with 
the first barrel. His 7th left the trap like shot out of a gun, but 
was beautifully killed with the first barrel ; 10th bird was a zig- 
zagging corker, missed with the right but stopped with the left 
in quick time about 15yds, from the trap; 14th and 15th were 
low-flying snow Bcrapers, which almost disappeared over the 
brow of the hill; the Hi st was well killed, but the second was 
only feathered with both barrels, being gathered in by the soli- 
tary scout who had enough interest and animal heat to brave 
the elements in the hope of a supper; the 18th was simply a 
streak of white, and was killed with the prettiest shot of the 
day. 
The medal is now held in Altoona and will be defended by 
Bill Clark. Scores:

Shooting for Suppers. 
Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 29.— Trap-shooting in this vicinity has 
been very dull since the advent of the game shooting season in 
October, as the boys put in all their spare time with gun and 
dog in the field and covers after quail, pheasants, etc. 
A meeting of the association, however, was neld and two 
members appointed captains to select teams for our annual 
banquet shoot. The conditions of this shoot are that the losing 
team put up the dust for a supper for both teams. Mr. Geo. R. 
Fleming and Mr. F. R. Leib were given the honor of choosing 
the teams. Originally there had been 27 members chosen for 
each team, but owing to the intense cold and deep snow only 
10 men to each team turned out to shoot. These, however, 
made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers, and what 
was most pleasing, there were quite a number of members who 
shot that had never, or very seldom, been to any of the shoots 
heretofore. Altogether it was a very pleasant and (sociable 
gathering, and the match went off without a hitch. Mr. W. G. 
Clark of Altoona, Pa., and Mr. C. H. CI eve of Mifflin, Pa., were 
interested lookers on, Mr. Clark refereeing the match in a very 
satisfactory manner. Scores: 
Team race, Leib's team vs. Fleming's team, 10 men a side, 8 
live birds per man. losers to pay for a supper lor both teams :

C man, Avinning the trophy. Coulstou, who is now a class A

seniors winning by three birds. A three-cornered "match at 25
