FOREST AND STREAM. 
£eb. 9, 1893. 
Gun Company, has started on Ins Southern trip, and will now 
be in evidence whenever the boys do any shooting, Mr. Du- 
Bray's work on live birds while in this city has shown that the 
man, the gun, and the amrnuu'tion are all right. 
Fred Hoey has been showing the foreigners that he can kill 
their blue rocks. When he has had more practice on the Moute 
Carlo birds, he will, without a doubt, make a better showing, 
as be is a quick shot and a good man in sweepstake shooting. 
W. P. Mussey, of Chicago, Ills., has been in New York for 
the past week. During his stay Bast Mr. Mussey found time to 
shoot a few live birds. On Friday, Feb. 1, he shot a 100 bird 
race with W, S. Bdey on the Carteret Club's grounds. The 
match resulted in a tie, both men killing 86 birds; Edey missed 
his last bird when he had but to kill to win. ^ 
A match will shortly be shot between teams of the West New- 
burgh Gun and Rifle Association, of Newburgh, N. Y., and the 
Cob Web Gun Club, of New York. A supper at Jack Gedney's 
in the evening is not the least attraction on the programme 
for the day. 
'The 50 bird handicap of the Heron Hill Gun Club, Pittsburg, 
Pa., $50 entrance, was marked by some good shooting. Clark's 
49 straight after missing his first bird, was worth about $150 to 
him. It is said that the Altoona contingent backed him freely 
against the field (even after he had missed his first bird), thereby 
taking several hundred of the Smoky City dollars back to the 
heart of the Alleghenies. 
The programme arranged for the winter tournament of the 
Hot Springs, Ark., Gun Club on Feb. 11 and 12, shows that the 
boys are alive to the best interests of the sport down there. The 
following sentence, which brings the programme to a close, 
needs no further comment: "Droppiug for place will not be tol- 
erated at this shoot." 
The Essex Gun Club, of Newark, N. J,, held its annual meefc 
ing on Jan. 24 The following officers for 1895 were elected: 
President, P.. H. Beiutnall; Vice President and Treasurer, Wm. 
Hayes; Secretary, Asa Whitehead; Executive Committee. Ft. 
H. Breintnall. ^' m. Hayes, Asa Whitehead, Lemuel Thomas, 
and Fletcher Walters. 
The note that went the rounds of the city press to the effect 
that George Work had challenged Edgar Murphjr to shoot a 
series of three 100 bird races, for large sums of money, was with- 
out foundation. 
To secretaries of Gun Clubs : Send in scores made at your club 
shoots to Forest and Stream. It costs you nothing more than a 
little time, and a stamp or two. By attending to this matter 
you let other clubs know that you are alive, and that fact alone 
is of some interest to many readers of Forest and Stream. In 
sending in your scores be sure and give date, style of shooting 
(whether known or unknown angles), amount of entrance, con- 
ditions of prize contests, in fact, anything you would want to 
know if the scores were made by another club. Address all 
such matter to Forest and Stream aud mail it promptly. 
Charlie Zwirlein, of Yardville, N. J., announces another 25 
bird handicap sweepstake, $10 entrance, birds extra, for 
Wednesday next, Feb. 13. Zwirlein's handicaps are always 
popular and this one should be no exception to the general rule. 
1 EDWARD BANKS. 
Clark Owned Pittsburgh. 
The second match in the Clark-Jones series was shot at Ex- 
position Park. Pittsburg, Pa., on Wednesday Jan. 30. It re- 
sulted like the first of the series, iu a ridiculously easy vic- 
tory for Clark, who upheld the honor of Altoona by making 
the great score of 95 "out of 100, beating his opponent 'by 14 
birda The first match was won by the score of 84-73; thus 
Clark beat his man by 25 birds out of the 200. Jones was 
clearly outclassed and probably shot below his form. 
Clark's shooting on any kind of birds is good work; in this 
match the birds are said to have been a mixed lot affected 
somewhat by the cold weather. Still the fact that Jones could 
not score more than 81 shows that they were not entirely dead 
A glance at the detailed score given below, shows that 
longest 
was referee, and Elmer E. Shanex', official scorer. 
There was very little betting on the result, Clark being too 
hot a favorite among the spectators. The Pittsburgers were 
apparently satisfied that their man had no chance, the only 
oleam of hope they experienced being when Clark missed his 
third and sixth birds. Even that was very quickly dispelled, as 
Jones dropped his sixth, seventh and ninth, and rapidly fell 
behind, never again getting w ithin hailing distance.

On Feb 1 the Heron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., held 
a Us shoot at Exposition Park, all the cracks of Pittsburg and 
vkduity being present. W. G. Clark followed up his good work 
o the previous by male ng the great score of 49 after 
missing his first bird. The following, from the Pittsburg Com- 
mercial Gazette, tells the story : . 
"Mr William G. Clark, hailing from Altoona, Pa., is a very 
smooth article, much too clever for any of the wing shots m or 
around Pittsburg at present. He spent two days in the city, 
and when he wanted to go home last night he was forced to 
hire a bov to carry his money to the tram. He took all kinds 
of coin out of town last evening, Having won the big sweep- 
stakes at Exposition Park in a canter. 
"If an amateur can shoot like this man, the fates protect us 
from the professionals; was the burden of song last night 
warbled by the unfortunates who had each put up $50 to see 
how bad Clark could beat them The bare fact that Clark 
killed 49 out of 50 birds at the mark tells the tale. Many of 
the Clark followers, seeing their ma.n 's remarkable work in the 
content with Jones on Wednesday, were prepared to back him 
against the field, but when time came to start the game yester- 
day morning, not a cent was up. The Altoona man came up 
in his turn, got an easy bird, whaled away and missed by a 
^Ah^ha' We have the villain, shouted the anti-Clark 
element as they dove into their clothing for their coin to bet 
agaShis winning out. They figured that the blonde mus - 
taehed gentleman having beaten Jones on Wednesday, had 
soften swelled up until he couldn't see straight. They are now 
swry they -thought. The field against Clark looked like a 
double rivetted good thing and many of the boys took a chance. 
Clark's friends had money aud put it up with apparent reck- 
lessness on his chances. By the time Clark came up to shoot 
Ms second round there was quite a roll of com up. Then it was 
that Mr. Clark took an extra hitch in his trousers, and went to 
work -But why dwell on this painful scene? Suffice to say 
that the visitor didn't miss again He took them every way 
and it looked as if he wouldn't, in 30 years, by the way he was 
shooting. Mohler and W. S. King had a pretty race for second 
money, resulting in a dead heat stakes divided. Bessemer 
Jones and A. H & King divided third ] money . each having killed 
45. The money was divided as follows: Clark, 8I0..0O; H. ±J. 
Mahler and W. S. King, $94.50, divided; A. H. King, Bessemer 
and Jones divided $63."

Rifle Shooting at Syracuse. 
Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 30, — The Syracuse Indoor Shooting 
Club has just concluded a very successful tournament which 
has been iu progress since Jan. 1, every Tuesday and Friday. 
The club was organized in 1892 with a membership of fifteeD, 
and through the able management of its officers has now 37 
active members aud is rapidly on the increase, containing some 
of the best shots in the State. The members arc nearly all rep- 
resentative business and ."professional men. Ureal, interest has 
been manifested during the prize shoot. The officers of the club 
are: President, F. C. Aiuslie; Vice-President, J. F. Helm: Sec- 
retary and Treasurer, R. Robotham, or as the boys call him, 
"Old Ro," who will make it very pleasant for anyone who 
may see fit to call on the club. The shoot has been for mer- 
chandize prizes donated to the club to the value of nearly §100. 
The shooting was done on a twenty-five and a half inch German 
target, and as the scores will show, were of a rather warm 
character. The best three scores of five each to count; highest 
possible score would be 375: Stillman, 371; M. Grossman, 307; 
Seeley, 366; Ainslie, 364; Leighton, 364; Cooke, 361; Smith, 361; 
S. S. Spire, 360; A. J. Spire, 360: Zischang, 358; Robotham, 
355- Ball, 355; Thurwacher, 355; Becker, 354; Joslyn, 353; 
Helm, 351; Rowlands, 346; Barnes, 349; Nearing, 349; Beng, 348; 
Reed, 343. Pistol. —Possible 150 at 60 feet. Stillman, 133, 
Helm, 132; Thurwacher, 120. There were 25 prizes in all, 23 for 
rifle and three for pistol, and the men won in order named. 
There was a great deal of interest and enthusiasm during the 
shooting off of the ties,' especially between Aiuslie aud Leigh- 
ton who are rival shots; they tied the score the second time on 
70 out of 75 on three shots. On the third score Ainslie Jwon 
amid geat esciement. A. R. K,
