grounds of the Harrisburg Shooting Association. The matoh 
had originally been arranged as a four-cornered race between 
Messrs. Clark and Adams of Altoona on one side and Wellington 
and Sullivan of Hiirrisburg on the other, but owing to an acci- 
dent SuLivan was unable to be present. Brewster took his place 
and held his end up in great shape, the Harrisburg team win- 
ning in a canter. The birds were a selected lot furnished by 
Worden Bros., and they were mainly corkers, not a duffer being 
among them. The traps were this time not on the brow of the 
hill, but were placed on perfectly level ground on the southeast 
side of 1 he club house; the raw north wind blowiDg diagonally 
across the traps made the conditions favorable for fast birds. A 
good crowd of interested spectators were present from Altoona, 
Mifflin, Steelton and West Fairview, while the home contingent 
were not lacking. Mr. Adams's Better dog Eock did the re- 
trieving in a very satislactory manner. A return match will be 
shot at Mifflin in the near future by the same teams and under 
the same conditions. Score : 
Team race, 50 live birds per man, $50 a side, losing team to

New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League. 
The fourth annual meeting of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' 
League was held Monday afternoon, Jan. 21. The clubs repre- 
sented were : South Bide Gun Club, Nawark, W. B. Hobart; Cli- 
max Gun Club, Blainlield, T. H. Keller; Union Gun Club, Spring- 
held, E. D. Miller; Endeavor Gun Club, Jersey City, C. W. Mo- 
Peek; Maplewood Gun Club, Maplewood, W. N. Drake; Boiling 
Springs Gun Club, Bulherford, P. A. Jeanneret. The Biverside 
Gun Club, of Bed Bank, and the Elizabeth Gun Olub, of Eliza- 
beth, were represented by J. P. Cooper and B. E. Chetwood re- 
spectively. Both clubs were unanimously elected to member- 
ship. 
The following is a list of the officers for 1895: President, E. D. 
Miller; Secretary-Treasurer, W. B. Hobart; Manager, W. N. 
Drake. The above, together with C. W. McPeek and B. E. Chet- 
wood, form the Governing Committee. 
Beports of the secretary and treasurer for 1894 were read (the 
secretary's report was given in full in the last issue of Fokest 
and Steeam). It was also decided that all team shoots should be 
at kuown traps, unknown angles ; and that the Becretar.es of all 
League shoots should render a statement to the League secre- 
tary, showing the number of targets thrown at their respective 
shoots. A committee of three, Dr. Jackson, P. A Jeanneret and 
W. N. Drake, was appointed to solicit merchandise prize. 
Places of the League shoots for '95 were selected by drawing 
lots, and resulted as follows : February, Boiling Springs ; March, 
Myrtle Park; April, Maple wood; May, Elizabeth ; June, Endeavor; 
August, Climax; September, Brunswick; October, Biverside; No- 
vember, Union ; December. South Side. It was decided not to 
hold any shoot in July on account of its being such a hot month. 
Trap at Little Rock. 
Little Bock, Ark., Jan. 17.— This being the day set for the 
13th contest tor the Pulaski county medal to take place, the 
shool came off despite the fact that the day was the most dis- 
agreeable one we have had thiB year. The sky was heavily over- 
cast, making it dark and gloomy and a very uncertain light for 
target Bhootlng. The atmosphere being laden with moisture 
made it altogether a very unpleasant day for recreation of this 
kind, and one had to be a good deal of an enthusiast to brave 
such weather for the purpose of shooting targets. Only four 
shooters put in an appearance, but as the score'will show, each 
one of these seemed to be out for blood. The race was an inter- 
esting one, for when each man had shot at 25 targets, three of 
the four were tied on 23. After this, Dickinson gradually drew 
away from the rest and won rather easily with 46 out of 50. 
Dickinson has been doing some remarkably fine shooting of late. 
He. has averaged 46 out of 50 in the last fuur contests and has 
won the medal three times. The race lias now narrowed down 
to Dickinson, Duley and French, and one of these three will 
eventually become the permanent possessor of the medal. As 
only four more contests will take place for the trophy and each 
one being determined to win, some interesting contests may be 
looked tor.

Brewer and Glover. 
Eochestee, N. Y., Jan. 14.— The match shot this afternoon be- 
tween John L. Brewer of New York city and "Sim" Glover of 
Boehester, N. Y., was decided under most trying conditions. 
The day was bitterly cold, the thermometer below the 'teens and 
the air at times filled with blizzard-like flurries of snow. The 
race was at 100 birds, 30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, Brewer with 
a 12-gauge, Glover using his 10-guage, a handicap in Glover's 
favor of quite 2yds. 
Brewer looked far from well and complained much of an at- 
tack of the grip which had caught hold of him. He was by no 
means cheerful and was totally unlike his old self. His antago- 
nist, Glover, is probably the best shot in this section. At tar- 
gets he is the champion of New York State, and is an over 90 per- 
cent, man every day in the week at inanimates. At live birds he 
is very little known outside of this immediate section, Btill he 
has readily found friends willing to matoh him against one of 
the best (Brewer would say "the beet") live bird shois in the 
world. 
The match waB shot right out in the oval formed by the track 
at the driving pajk. Not a plank or stitch of canvas was erected 
to protect the shooters or spectators from the biting cold of a 
10 deg. above zero southeast wind. A foot of snow, freshly 
fallen, covered everything, and at the outset the air was filled 
with snow that camo downwind in an uncompromising man- 
ner. It was do day for pigeon shooting with the best of protection 
provided ; with nothing but tramped-down snow to stand upon, 
and no protection whatever from the weather, it was tempting 
providence to go out and shoot as Brewer did. He looked blue 
with the oold, and stood all drawn up by the severity of the 
weather like a chicken with the gapes. 
The birds would have been a good lot had they been given a 
chance, but everything was against them, and the temptation to 
fly toward the hotel or the grand stand was more than they 
could resist. The traps were composed of three triangular 
pieces of sheet-iron hinged to a board; it required two trappers 
to trap each bird, one to hold the trap together, the other to fix 
the catch and put the pigeon in. Two or three times a bird 
killed by one or the other of the shooters fell on a trap and 
knocked it open. The pulling was the old way, five cords 
stretched on the bare snow ; the consequence was a dog could 
not be used retrieving as it would have pulled off the traps over 
and over again. 
Each shooter had a bird drop dead out of bounds in the firBt 
25, Brewer's 23d, an incomer, being let off by the shooter yrho 
appeared unable to pull his gun off. The wonder was either 
Brewer or Glover could shoot at all. The latter has done no 
live bird shooting for some time to amount to anything; in 
practice during the past week he showed up well. That he can 
shoot is proved by his score. No matter how poor birds are, his 
score would be counted good. But among these birds were sev- 
eral very fast ones indeed, and Glover killed them as easily and 
cleanly as he did the easy ones. E. C. Meyers undertook the 
thankless, and on this occasion very arduous, task of refereeing 
the match. Had the weather been anything like decent, there 
would unquestionably have been a good crowd present. As it 
was, there were at least 250 spectators who wandered back and 
forth between the hotel and the snow-covered waste which was 
the scene of the shoot in the effort to thaw frost-bitten ears, 
noses and fingers. 
Brewer killed his second 25 straight, while Glover missed one 
of his ; the score at the close of the 50th round being a tie on 48 
each. The close of the third series of 25 each found Glover with 
a lead of three, Brewer having dropped that number while 
Glover killed straight. The latter was shooting well and made 
some capital shots ; one in particular attracted considerable at- 
tention from the fact that he had his safety up and drew a fast 
right-quarterer. As soon as he found out what was the matter, 
he shoved the safety up, feathered the bird with the first barrel, 
but brought it down dead as stone just inside the boundary with 
a phenomenal second. 
The full score up to the end of the 75th round is given below ; 
at that stage ot the match I had to leave the ground, being frozen 
dean through and wanting to catch a train on to Hamilton, Ont., 
Can. It was then 4:15 P. M., two hours and twenty-two minutes 
since the commencement of the match. At that rate, with 25 
birds each yet to shoot at, the match could hardly be finished be- 
fore nightfall. Score up to end of 75th round :

Maplewood Gun Club. 
South Oeange, N. J., Jan. 12,— The Maplewood Gun Club 
opened the season of 1895 under very favorable conditions. They 
have two contests each month, viz: Medal shoot, one for each 
of three classes— A B and C. Conditions, 25 single targets per 
man; one man up shooting from unknown traps. This shoot 
takes place the second Saturday in each month. The fourth 
Saturday in each month is the day for the silver champion cup, 
to cost $25, which is shot for under a handicap system, which 
will be explained later. The shoot lo-day was for the medals, 
and as the soore shows the shooting was of a high order, Warren 
Smith breaking straight (Boiling Springs must look out for bim.) 
W. H. Drake was breaking in a bran-new L. C. Smith (he thinks 
his score will be examined by Boiling Springs); Dr. Jackson, 
"old reliable," not shooting quite up to his form on the Maple- 
wood grounds. The B and C class men did well, as the follow-

Mosher Defeats Mayhew. 
Utioa, N. Y„ Jan. 12.— On Wednesday last, Jan. 9, Geo. Mosher, 
of the Syracuse Arms Co., and M. M. Mayhew, of this city, shot 
a race at 25 live birds for the price of the birds. After a very 
tight race Mosher won by one bird. At the 21st round the score 
was a 17—16 in Mavhew'e favor; the latter thendropped'his next 
.three birds, while Mosher killed two out of three. This gave 
him a lead of one, which he cinched by killing his 25th bird. The 
pigeons were a very lively lot, going off with a dart as soon as 
the traps were opened; most of them, too, were drivers. All 
thiDgs considered, the scores made were good ones. Other 
events followed. Scores:

Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
That was a great aggregation of American wing shots that 
took part in the live bird events at Hamilton^ Canada, last 
week. The three winners on the 20-bird race used the follow- 
ing powders: Elliott and Fullord, E. C. powder; Bates.Wood 
powder in bis first barrel, black in his second. Elliott used 
Winchester Leader shells, while Fulford was shooting the U,. 
M. C. green trap shell, factory loaded, with 50grs. of powder. 
Dr. Carver and Geo. Kleinman shoot for the championship of 
the United States on Feb. 1. Dr. Carver has accepted the chal- 
lenge of JohnWebster of Manchester. England, to shoot any 
man at 100 English bluerocks for $1,000. Dr. Carver only asks 
Webster to name date and place and to post his money, giving 
him (Carver) time to get to England with a few days to spare. 
C. Cockburn of Toi on to was very anxious to shoot Elliott a 
race under the same conditions that he afterward shot Brewer a 
race on Jan. 18. Jim offered to shoot him two races, $250 a side 
each race, one match to be at Cockburn's game, Dominion rules, 
etc., the other 30yds. rise, both barrels, 50yds. boundary. They 
couldn't come together, however. 
The Keystone Shooting League of Philadelphia, Pa., has 
elected the following officers : Presideut, George Cohen; Vice- 
President.Wade Wilson; Treasurer, George- E. Pack ; Secretary, 
John C. Shalleross ; Field Captain, Al. J. Bust; Associate Field 
Captain, W. H. Pack; Trustee, W. H. Wolstencroit; Scorer, 
Newell Bancroft. 
E. D. Fulford has backed himself to kill 45 out of 50 birds at 
Frank Class's Driving Paris on Jan. 28, Wednesday of this week. 
Brewer and Eddie Hill have both gone down easily before Class' 
birds. 
The following are copies of two resolutions passed at a very 
recent meeting of the North Side Gun Olub, of Pittsburgh, Pa. : 
"Eesolved — That any member of this club who shall intention- 
ally miss a target or live bird in a swoopstakes or prize shoot 
for the purpose of increasing his interest financially shall be 
suspended from shooting on the club grounds for such length 
of time as the club at its discretion may deem just, or he 
may be expelled. Any visiting contestant who may be- found 
guilty of same offense shall not be permitted to shoot in any 
future events of the club.— E. O. Schusteb Sec'y N. S. G. C." 
The second resolution reads as follows: " -Basolvecl — That the 
North Side Gun Club eordiaUy indorses the scheme originated 
by Foeest and Steeam. to organize a trap-shooters' association 
or council for the purpose of controlling, eliminating abuses 
and the elevating of trap-shooting in the United States. — E,

Fuller particulars will be given shortly. 
The Little Eock (Ark.) Shooting Association held a two-days' 
tournament at targets on Jan. 24 and 25 of this week. Paul E. 
Litzke, Foeest and Steeam's oorrespondentat Little Eock, is the 
moving spirit in trap matters down there. 
Eobert Boyle, of Willard Park, Paterson, N. J., writes under 
date of Jan. '14, as follows: "In the Paterson (N. J.) Call, of Jan. 
8, Brewer offers to make a match to shoot at 100 trained pigeons 
and kill 90 of them, for $250 or $1,0C0. I will make that match 
with him for $250 a side, and will put $50 up as a forfeit any 
time that the Captain, will do the same between now and Feb. 1. 
I will back mv birds, the Bhoot to take place on Feb. 22, at 2 
o'clock, at Willard's Park, Paterson, N. J. The rise to be 80yds. 
and 50yds. bound iry. If Brewer does not accept, this holds for 
any shooter in the country." 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 13. — The Boston Shooting Association held 
its annual meeting Monday evening, Jan. 7, preceded, by an all- 
day shoot at its grounds at Wellington, Mass., with 25 members

Alton, III., Jan. 16.— At the annual meeting of thePiasgBod 
and Eifle Club, of Alton, 111., J. N. Drummond was elected Presi- 
dent; Chas. B. Johnson, Vice-President; J. M. Eyrie, Secretary; 
E. F. Seely, Treasurer, and G. H. Lane, Captain of the shotgun 
division. A lively interest is taken in shooting at bluerocks, and 
some good scores were made last fall. G. H. Lane averaged 90 
per cent, for several months, and some of the others were not 
far behind J. M. Exbie. 
In the accounts given elsewhere of the unfortunate contre- 
temps on the last day at Hamilton, Canada, I give the state- 
ment of eyewitnesses. Clippings from various papers, evidently 
United or Associated Press reports, give Brewer's load as l%ozs. 
of shot, not 1% as it was told to me. It is true that l?iozs. 
seems out of all proportion, but the powder charge was 4%drs. 
of a nitro powder and the gun was a 10-gauge, not a 12-gauge. 
Unfortunately Brewer is not in New York just now, so that I 
cannot give his side of the ease. 
E. D. Fulford beat S. Fairbairn in a 25-bird race, for $50, guu 
below the elbow until the bird was on the wing; soore 23-21. 
New fixtures this week are the Maplewood Gun Club's all-day 
shoot on Washington's Birthday; the Boiling Springs Club's 
three-days' tournament on March 5-7, and two-days' shoot at 
Wopsononock the last week in June. The latter Bhoot will 
surely catch the boys, as the Altoona Gun Club always shows 
their guests a good time,
